She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

The shopkeeper looked at the handsome young man in front of him, who was well-dressed and had a naive and innocent look that suggested he had never seen the filth of the world. He guessed that the young man must be a rich man who had run away from home in a fit of temper.

If someone gets into trouble in the store, their family will definitely take their anger out on them. If it's someone you can't afford to offend, who knows what will happen to them.

So he put on a smiling face and earnestly reminded her, "Young master, although our shop has guards patrolling, the guests coming and going are a mixed bunch, so you should be more vigilant and hide your money well."

Jiang Ruining nodded his thanks and went upstairs.

The inn's soundproofing wasn't very good.

As they walked along, the sounds of a couple gossiping about their neighbors could be faintly heard, but the commotion of someone slamming a knife on the table with a waiter was also clearly audible.

This is far more frightening than encountering a mentally ill person knocking on the door while staying in a hotel in modern society.

In a hotel, at least you can lock the door from the inside and call the police.

Here... I'm afraid even the shop owners wouldn't dare to get involved!

But there was no sound from the two guest rooms to her left, right, and diagonally opposite hers, though you could tell there were people inside.

He shouldn't be a troublemaker... right?

She wanted Eleven Crane to keep a close eye on her every move, but she discovered that he had disappeared without a trace!

"yeah?"

Fearing that a mentally ill person might suddenly appear, Jiang Ruining quickly went inside first.

Then, tentatively, she gently called out to Eleven Cranes.

It called out several times.

There was a rustling sound coming from the roof.

She looked up and met a blank face.

"...What are you doing on the roof?"

Eleven Crane said, "I went to take a walk around and observe the inn's environment."

Jiang Ruining increasingly felt that this person was easy to get along with, meticulous, and thoughtful!

"Come down and talk to me, my neck is getting sore from looking up."

Eleven Crane's voice was soft, and he sounded a little troubled: "Miss, I can't come in. If the master finds out, he'll take my head."

Jiang Ruining didn't mean for him to come in and keep her company!

His words made it sound as if she had some kind of illicit, ambiguous relationship with the evil god.

"You can also stand outside my window and talk."

Eleven Cranes: "..."

Jiang Ruining turned around and went to open the window facing the corridor.

Just then, Eleven Crane arrived at the window, moving with astonishing speed.

Jiang Ruining asked him in a low voice, "Have you noticed that the atmosphere here seems a bit off?"

Eleven Crane's expression and voice were as calm as still water: "There's a murderous aura about him; half the people in the inn are martial arts practitioners."

Jiang Ruining got a little angry: "Then when you quickly circled around just now, they should have been able to sense your skills, right?"

Eleven Crane nodded: "Okay." He paused, "They'll also realize that they can't beat their subordinates."

wow!

So confident!

Jiang Ruining pressed further: "Even if it means taking me along as a burden?"

Without hesitation, Eleven Crane replied, "Of course! You can rest assured and continue doing what you want to do."

Jiang Ruining felt relieved, but also even more envious of these skilled fighters who were able to protect themselves.

Looking at the time, it was still early.

Judging from the calculations, it should be two more days before my cheap dad arrives here.

They went downstairs and hired a horse-drawn carriage.

Eleven cranes acted as the coachman, and the two, master and servant, headed towards the county town.

About half an hour later, we arrived at the busiest street.

Although it's a small county town, it has everything you need for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but its consumption capacity is still far behind that of Beijing.

We wandered around for quite a while.

She finally found the target she was looking for.

Tongantang!

Shiyihe wondered why she was staring at the clinic, but he didn't ask. He just quietly glanced back.

Deep within the bustling crowd, a pair of intrigued eyes were fixed on Jiang Ruining.

"Someone who has never been here before is clearly targeting a pharmacy. Could she just be wandering around? It seems her purpose in faking her death and leaving the capital is right here!"

Following Jiang Ruining's footsteps, they entered the teahouse opposite the pharmacy.

After she entered the private room, she went to the room next to hers.

Jiang Ruining felt that she had been watched by eyes the whole way.

He suddenly stepped back and glanced back.

I didn't see anything.

Just then, Shiyihe stepped forward and served her a salted pig's trotter.

"..."

Although he wasn't actually touched, he still felt extremely disgusted. His anger flared, and he punched the other man right in the eye, followed by a devastating kick: "Go to hell! I'm not someone you idiot can mess with. If you dare lay a finger on me again, I'll chop it off!"

"Ouch!" The salted pig was dressed in gold and silver, clearly a local thug. He had been beaten black and blue in public and lost face. How could he let it go so easily?

He immediately flew into a rage, his eyes blazing as he pointed fiercely at the arrogant youth: "You son of a bitch! How dare you hit your master! Guards! Seize this brat! Today, I'm going to teach him a lesson about manners!"

"Master is going to use him to entertain distinguished guests today. We mustn't let him ruin that sly fox's face!"

The surrounding tea drinkers and waiters were all stunned!

They all took about ten steps back, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire if she were to be retaliated against!

"He dares to hit even the philanthropist Yuan? Does he have a death wish?"

"He's dead!"

Jiang Ruining laughed in exasperation.

A great philanthropist?

Whose philanthropist could be such a lecherous scoundrel?

What kind of philanthropist would arrest ordinary people in broad daylight and brazenly declare that he would use them to "entertain" his distinguished guests?

These people showed no anger, offered no help, and instead watched the spectacle, mocking the one who was being bullied.

They're either mentally unstable or have been completely corrupted by evil forces into heartless idiots!

She has thugs!

Unfazed, hands on hips, chin raised, he declared, "Eleven, flatten that dead pig's head!"

The thug, Eleven Crane, stood in front of her. Because he was wearing a cap, she couldn't see his cold face or his murderous eyes. All she could see was his thin body, which looked weak and intimidating.

The thugs pulled out knives and clubs from somewhere and charged forward menacingly.

Jiang Ruining was still very nervous as she listened to the whistling sound of the stick swishing through the air. If it hit her, she would suffer a concussion even if she didn't break any bones!

So she became like a quail again, shrinking her neck and hiding behind Eleven Crane to make sure she was not within the opponent's attack range!

Eleven Crane was able to deal with more than a dozen henchmen without even blinking.

They took them all down in no time.

The last thug was in a bent-bow position when he was kicked away, slamming the salted pig's hand to the ground.

The salted pig was smashed flat on its back, almost unable to catch its breath.

A group of thugs scrambled to their feet and helped the man up, saying, "Sir! Are you alright?"

The salted pig's trotter flew into a rage, glaring with his triangular eyes and roaring, "You damn fool, you dare touch my men? You've got a death wish!"

"Go get some men! If we don't kill these two bastards today, I'll change my name!"

Someone in the crowd behind her had a sudden glint in their eye. Taking advantage of the chaos, they quietly moved behind Jiang Ruining and raised their fist to smash it down on her head!

People with the surname Yuan are universally disliked, but he is rich and spends money like water. Anyone who pleases him can reap considerable benefits!

As long as he can knock the man unconscious and let the man surnamed Yuan vent his anger, he'll have plenty of money waiting for him!

Some are greedy, but others are kind-hearted. A direct warning came from the corner: "Young man, someone's attacking you! Crouch down!"

A sneak attack?

Squat down?

Jiang Ruining turned around abruptly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the fist hurtling towards her.

boom!
