Pei Ruoxuan looked up and saw the sign of Yayuan hanging on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.

At a glance, the yard looks very large, the environment is quiet, and it is surrounded by green trees, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.

After crossing a small path, I came to the door of a house.

Fang Yu pointed to the door in front of him and said, "Master Pei, this is your room."

When you push open the door, what comes into view is a clean and elegant house with all the furniture neatly arranged.

Pei Ruoxuan glanced at it casually and was very satisfied. "Thank you, Lord Fang, for your careful preparation."

Fang Yu nodded at him, turned and left.

The moment he turned around, Pei Ruoxuan did not see the evil smile on his lips.

Not far from his room was Mu Qinglan's room.

When she entered the room, she walked to the table, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.

Before she sat down, she heard a strange sound.

“Hiss.”

The voice seemed to be right next to her ear, and she felt a chill all over her body.

Her heart suddenly tightened, could there be something dirty here?

She slowly turned her head and saw a huge snake, staring at her with its tongue hanging out.

"Ah..." She screamed in fright.

The sound reached Pei Ruoxuan's ears next door. His heart tightened and he hurried over.

Without thinking, he pushed the door open and rushed in. "Lan'er, what happened?"

Pei Ruoxuan looked at the other party and was stunned for a moment.

Mu Qinglan was seen holding a long sword with blood stains on it.

Opposite her, a giant python was killed on the ground.

Mu Qinglan was still in shock, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking slightly.

Pei Ruoxuan took the sword from her hand, threw it aside, hugged her tightly, and comforted her: "Lan'er, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Seeing the snake's corpse on the ground, Pei Ruoxuan lowered his head and thought.

Someone must have done this on purpose. This happened right after they came in.

Although Lan'er has some kung fu skills, girls will inevitably be afraid when they see snakes.

Before he came to Youzhou City, he had thought that everything would not go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, on the first day, their whereabouts were being tracked.

It seems they have to be more careful from now on.

Pei Ruoxuan expressed his thoughts and got Mu Qinglan's approval.

"Lan'er, you can't sleep here. Go to my room."

"This..." Mu Qinglan hesitated at Pei Ruoxuan's invitation.

If something like this happened tonight, she would definitely not sleep well in this room.

But she was hesitant to go to his room.

They have a good relationship, but it's not close yet.

Pei Ruoxuan saw her hesitation and relieved her worries with one sentence.

"Lan'er, there is a couch over there. I can just sleep on it."

I'll arrange a new room for her tomorrow and she'll just have to stay here for tonight.

In her impression, Pei Ruoxuan has always been a gentleman.

Mu Qinglan was still very confident about Pei Ruoxuan's character.

So, the two of them came to Pei Ruoxuan's room.

Pei Ruoxuan picked up a quilt, spread it on the couch, and lay down.

Mu Qinglan was sleeping on the bed, and the two were not far apart.

After a tiring day and a frightened day, Mu Qinglan fell asleep soon after he touched the bed.

At this moment, Pei Ruoxuan recalled everything that happened today, and scenes flashed through his mind.

Being harassed at the city gate and the giant snake in the room, all these things seemed to tell him that managing Youzhou City was not easy.

It seems that the days ahead will not be so easy.

However, when the enemy comes, we will fight him with our own strength.

The next day, after Pei Ruoxuan had breakfast, he listened to his subordinates' reports and his brows gradually furrowed.

There is unrest in Youzhou City, and there are some ruffians who are endangering the people.

In addition, the environment here is harsh, farmers have poor harvests, and taxes are heavy, making life difficult for the people.

These need to be addressed urgently.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past the window and a small knife shot in.

Pei Ruoxuan dodged the knife attack.

The knife was stuck on the table. Pei Ruoxuan pulled it out and saw a small note on it.

"Pei Ruoxuan, your time of death has come."

"Sir, this..." The subordinates looked at the note and were somewhat worried.

Pei Ruoxuan remained calm and said calmly: "Don't tell anyone."

Yayuan is now guarded by twenty guards, how could someone break in?

The person behind the scenes threatened him with his life, probably trying to stop him from investigating.

Pei Ruoxuan did not take these threats seriously.

If he is timid and always afraid of threats, he will not be able to move forward.

"continue."

Before he could finish his words, the guards suddenly rushed in.

He was panting, his voice a little hurried. "It's bad, sir."

What’s going on today? One problem after another.

Pei Ruoxuan's face darkened and he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The guard explained: "The people we sent out received news that someone was causing trouble at the south gate."

It turned out that there was a rice shop at the south gate. The owner of the rice shop was a simple man and sold rice to the people at the lowest price.

The rice from his shop is cheap and delicious, so many people like to buy rice there.

His colleagues couldn't stand his behavior and sent people to buy rice there, slandering his rice as inferior quality.

Some people who didn't know the truth thought it was true and went to ask for an explanation.

The boss had to quickly find evidence to prove that there was nothing wrong with his rice.

After his grievances were cleared, more people than before went to his rice shop to buy rice.
