"Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll go downstairs to check. It seems that soldiers are here to search." Jian Ning suspected that they were targeting her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that soldiers came to search the inn right after she broke into the palace.

Fortunately, Huo Jincheng got the identity card in time. When Jian Ning went downstairs, she took a look at it and was secretly glad that this thing did not have a photo on it like an ID card. She did not need to take out the identity card in advance to check in at the hotel. Some things were quite convenient in ancient times.

Sure enough, soldiers arrived downstairs, and a few of them came upstairs in a threatening manner. To be safe, Jian Ning retreated upstairs and dodged to the side. Among the main people who came up was a wizard wearing a boat-shaped hat and half-naked. Moon Country wizards were a bit uncanny, so she had to be on guard. If she faced them head-on and was ejected from Baicaojian, it would be bad luck.

Several officers and soldiers came up the stairs with the wizard. The wizard suddenly stopped and looked towards where Jane Ning was standing. Jane Ning held her breath when her eyes met his. She clearly saw that he frowned slightly and was about to come towards her.

The next second, a soldier called out to the wizard. He hesitated for a moment, looked towards where Jian Ning was standing, and followed the soldier towards a row of guest rooms on the left.

Jane Ning was sure that he couldn't see her, but he should have used his magic power to sense that something was wrong where she was standing. Perhaps it was because there were too many people in the inn and there were too many smells, or maybe he was still young and his magic power was not strong enough. In short, the wizards of the Moon Country should not be underestimated!

A few more soldiers came into the inn. Jian Ning was too lazy to look at them anymore and turned back to the house. She went in and saw that Huo Jincheng had changed his clothes and appeared. She lowered her voice and briefly told him what had happened.

"Don't panic. You can pretend to be mute for a while. I will speak Yueguo language and let me deal with them." Huo Jincheng threw the changed clothes to Jian Ning and said, "Take them to your house."

Jian Ning knew that Huo Jincheng had a strong talent for languages. Not long after he arrived in Dingxian Village, he learned the local dialect and could understand the words on the photo. She guessed that he had learned the Yue language from A'man's mother and also knew some Yue characters.

Well, from now on she would act mute. She made sign language to Huo Jincheng. She was a professional at pretending to be mute. She had learned it specially for the mission. She didn't expect that it would come in handy again after traveling through time.

Even though sign language has changed since ancient times and there are differences in different times and spaces, if a person uses hand gestures fluently, even if others cannot understand her, it will give her extra points for pretending to be mute and make her think she is really mute.

"You know a lot of things. Did that sheep monster teach you?" Huo Jincheng had just finished speaking when the door was knocked.

There were many people staying at this inn, so only one soldier came to check each room. After the soldier muttered a few words, Huo Jincheng reached out to Jian Ning. She quickly handed him her ID card and made some hand gestures. Huo Jincheng replied in Moon Language, "Yes."

Perhaps because the "Qingshan Village" registered on the ID card was not far from here, Jian Ning saw the officer question Huo Jincheng a few more times, but she couldn't understand a word. The officer returned the ID card and turned to knock on the next room. Huo Jincheng followed him out again, wanting to find out what the search was about.

To prove that what Jane Ning said was caused by her breaking into the palace, the strength of the Moon Country wizards has greatly improved compared to before, to an astonishing level.

It has been fifty-two years since the last major war between Yue Kingdom and Central Plains, a war launched during the reign of Pei Xiyuan's grandfather. Huo Jincheng had heard about that history from his father when he was a reading companion to Emperor Yongkang.

At that time, although the Central Plains was ruled by five rulers and there were constant wars among them, as they were all from the same Central Plains dynasty, they all knew that if one of them failed, the other would be in trouble. Once the door to the Central Plains was closed, no matter how fiercely the five brothers fought, when the Moon Kingdom launched a massive attack, the five countries miraculously united quickly and worked together to resist the enemy, and no one hid anything.

The Grand Tutor was an excellent storyteller, his speeches were full of emotion and passion, and even Yang Jinyu, who was usually gentle and good-natured, felt his blood boiling when he heard them.

Not to mention the prince and Huo Jincheng.

Back then, the wizards of Yue Kingdom were almost wiped out by the immortal cultivators from the Central Plains. However, less than sixty years later, they have revived and become so powerful. This is something Huo Jincheng does not want to see.

He had to ask clearly so that he could have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

Jane Ning didn't want him to get involved, so she followed him out. She caught up and pulled him back. When they turned around, they saw Xiong Er and a few others walking towards them.

Xiong Er recognized them both. When he saw them, he blurted out "woman." Fortunately, he had a sudden thought and swallowed the word "Bodhisattva" in time, changing it to "That woman, please stay."

Seeing him pointing at her, Jian Ning made a gesture and looked at him calmly. Xiong Er was a sincere man. At this moment, the war between the two countries had not yet started. When she heard him change his words, she knew he would not betray them.

"Sir, our ID cards have already been checked by the soldiers." Huo Jincheng was also very calm. He calmly took out their ID cards again and handed them to Xiong Er. "My wife is mute. She can't speak, but she can hear."

Although Jian Ning didn't understand the Yue language he spoke, she could guess what he understood after seeing Xiong Er looked at her suspiciously.

Since the two of them live in the same room, it seems that this is the only way to say it.

Xiong Er pretended to look at the photo carefully and gave it back to Huo Jincheng. Then he mumbled a few words to the two people beside him. The two nodded and went to the guest room on the other side of the corridor.

Jian Ning knew that Xiong Er wanted to tell her something, so she could also ask Xiong Er what was going on. She gave Xiong Er a look and walked into the room.

"Female Bodhisattva, are you married to this gentleman again?" Xiong Er followed in, pointed at Huo Jincheng, and asked.

Huo Jincheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rooftop with an expression that seemed to indicate it was none of his business.

"No, you've seen my husband." Jian Ning gouged out her eyes at Huo Jincheng. "We came to your Yue Country to look for someone. Tell me first, what happened?"

"Did you break into the palace?" Xiong Er knew it was most likely her when he saw Jian Ning. Not only did Jian Ning save Pei Xiyuan's life, they also found Nan Xiang through Jian Ning. Otherwise, his general might not be able to sit on the throne of the Moon Emperor.

"Is it really because she broke into the palace that you searched the whole city?" Huo Jincheng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the palace is covered with barriers set up by the Imperial Master. If you break in by force, the Imperial Master will sense it. You guys should stay at home for the next few days. I will find whoever you need." Xiong Er saw Huo Jincheng's serious face, but he was very happy in his heart. He was happy that he finally had the chance to repay Jian Ning for saving Pei Xiyuan's life.

"Don't worry, female Bodhisattva. I, Yuji, am here and will never let anyone disturb you. Just remember not to trespass into the palace again. If the person you're looking for is in the palace, bring me their portrait and I'll go in and help you find them."

Jian Ning smiled and said, "You don't need a portrait. Just tell me if there is anyone from Yan Dynasty who has come to your emperor and who looks like a little girl but is actually an old woman named Ma Lao."

"Have you seen it?" Huo Jincheng also asked.
