The Crown Prince and Ying Yufu disguised themselves and broke away from the main force, taking only six personal guards with them. At this moment, these six personal guards were also shocked.

How dare someone spread rumors about the Crown Prince! This is outrageous!

"Fu'er, it seems we have to stay and take a look at Fengyuan County." A sharp glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.

Ying Yufu nodded repeatedly; the Crown Prince really understood her.

"Let's find an inn to stay at first," Ying Yufu said.

"it is good."

In the shadows, several figures stealthily retreated.

They retreated to a corner, and the man in the lead said, "They are a few foreign merchants from out of town."

That rascal looked quite young, and the pretty girl next to him was only fifteen or sixteen.

The old sage said he was still short two people, a man and a woman? These two are perfect!

The other two nodded slightly, their expressions equally fierce. "Don't alert them yet. Keep an eye on them, and then..."

He made a grabbing motion.

After the three finished speaking, they stared at the group of Hu people again.

Ying Yufu glanced behind her without making a sound. Her five senses were sharp, and she had noticed that someone was watching them as soon as they entered the city, but she was not afraid.

The feint attack and the attack from the west, along with the unparalleled Snow Phoenix Army, are not far outside the city. If there is any real danger, all that is needed is to crush the signal flare, and the Snow Phoenix Army will be able to enter the city.

They walked a distance toward the city center and saw a very luxurious inn called Laiyun Inn.

Ying Yufu knew that this was Laiyun Inn, which was a branch of the Shen family's inn.

The Shen family and the Mu family are both major merchants in Beixuan. They have always been competitors, but they have always maintained their dignity and never lost face because of business.

Laiyun Inn is different from ordinary inns, even though the shops and businesses in the city are either closed or closed for the time being.

However, the Laiyun Inn always keeps its doors wide open, ready to welcome guests at any time.

Upon seeing them enter, the waiter, though wary, still greeted them warmly.

"Gentlemen, are you here for a meal or to stay at the hotel?" he greeted them warmly.

"We need to stay at an inn," the prince said.

The waiter glanced at him, then immediately smiled and said, "Distinguished guests, this way please."

The prince took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "We are not short of money, we want the best room."

The waiter immediately replied, "Yes, yes, we have three of the best rooms. In addition to the best rooms, we also have three separate courtyards, which you can choose from."

"Then we need a separate hospital, just one place, facing the street."

The prince then took out another ingot of silver.

The waiter took the room, hesitated for a moment, and then advised, "Sir, although the courtyard facing the street has a wide view, it's relatively less safe... How about you move inside to stay somewhere else?"

Ying Yufu glanced at the waiter; he was actually quite kind.

"No need, we live right on the street. My little beauty is strong, she can protect me, I'm not afraid of being unsafe."

The bearded barbarian proudly pulled the pretty young woman beside him forward.

The strong and beautiful Ying Yufu readily showed off her fair little fists.

The waiter paused for a moment.

Then he shook his head. This merchant from the Hu Kingdom was still in the mood to flirt, which meant he was unaware of what had happened in Fengyuan County recently.

Just as he was about to explain, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and bowed, saying, "Gentlemen, to be honest, Fengyuan County has been quite unsettled lately, with young people frequently going missing."

Since you're from out of town, you might not know this, which is why our waiter suggested you stay in the courtyard inside; it's safer there than on the street.

The prince immediately showed great interest: "Really? That's wonderful! My little beauty hasn't hit anyone in ages, so don't worry, we'll just stay in the courtyard by the street!"

Shopkeeper & Waiter: "..."

They tried to persuade them, but they wouldn't listen, and the shopkeeper and waiter were at a loss.

Finally, the waiter led them to a small courtyard by the street to stay.

Back in the lobby, the waiter said to the manager, "Manager, do you think there's something wrong with that foreign merchant here?"

The waiter pointed to his head.

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That foreign merchant has an impressive air about him. He must have something to rely on. Go and send them some food and hot water."

The waiter immediately went to fetch the money.

Fengyuan County has been quite unsettled lately, and there are few people staying in hotels; everyone is quite idle.

Before long, the waiter brought hot water, food, and drinks to the courtyard.

Seeing that the group of foreign merchants were happily preparing to eat and drink, he shook his head and turned away.

After eating, drinking, and washing up, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince slept in the same room.

The other six guards slept in the east and west wing rooms respectively.

As night deepened, several figures dressed in black silently scaled the wall and entered. The leader made a hand gesture, pointing directly to the room of the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu.

"They're here!" the Crown Prince whispered in Ying Yufu's ear.

Ying Yufu nodded, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Fu'er, you must protect me well, I'm so scared," the Crown Prince whispered in Ying Yufu's ear.

Ying Yufu reached out and patted his chest, comforting him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

A smile flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes. "Yes, with Fu'er here, I have nothing to fear."

"Good boy." Ying Yufu patted him again.

Seeing smoke drifting in from the corner of his eye, he immediately stuffed an antidote pill into the prince's mouth.

She has a strong constitution and is immune to all poisons, so she doesn't need to take medicine.

The prince obediently swallowed the pill, his gaze fixed on the girl's soft neck skin, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

However, upon hearing the sound of someone trying to pry open the door, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to faint.

Ying Yufu nestled into the Crown Prince's arms, obediently pretending to be the beautiful young lady of the Hu merchant.

"They really are all very young," several figures said in hushed tones.

"Take them! Those two are the only ones I want, they're really good stuff!"

"This little beauty is so pretty, her heart must be delicious too!"

As they spoke, several figures lifted Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince onto their shoulders, then leaped over the courtyard wall.

They actually know how to use light-footed kung fu.

After they left, six guards opened the door and peeked out.

They looked pale and sickly. "What do we do? Are we really just going to stand by and watch?"

"How dare we disobey His Highness and the Princess's orders? What if it ruins His Highness's plans?"

"If His Majesty finds out, won't we lose our heads?"

"Enough said. What's done is done. There's still a big show to be performed tomorrow."

After saying that, the group closed the door and retreated.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince felt extremely shaken. These people who stole from them were truly despicable, carrying them the whole time.

When the prince's face turned pale, they finally threw the two of them into a carriage and then drove off to an unknown destination.

After traveling about two miles, the carriage finally stopped, and then they were carried into a small courtyard.

The person who was supposed to meet them closed the door and stepped forward to ask, "Why do these two look like barbarians?"

"It's the foreign merchants who came today; if someone like that disappeared, no one would even know."

"Not bad, the old immortal should be very satisfied."
