Qin Su then remembered the contents of Luo Zhi's cloth bag; they were all poisonous creatures, but the quantity...

“No.” She shook her head. “There are too many people outside, and you don’t have enough poison.”

Luo Zhi shook her head. "Don't worry, sister. Let me protect you this time."

She patted her chest.

The inn became very quiet. After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Upon closer inspection, a man in his thirties walked in.

He met Qin Su's eyes and smiled, "So you are the Princess Consort of Prince Chen."

Qin Su was also stunned. She had seen the other person before; he was someone who had saved their lives in the black market.

"I never expected you to be the Lord of Shacheng." I originally wanted to ask Zhuang Heyu, but Zhuang Heyu wasn't there at the time, and then I was too busy with other matters to remember.

After all, he only thought he was an ordinary person with some power, who knew he was actually the lord of Sand City?

The city lord looked behind Qin Su and said, "Is Prince Chen in the room?"

Qin Su said, "I did come to find Yu Shuo, but I also want to know where you hid him. I still haven't found him."

It was fortunate that Qin Su often made Yu Shuo wear a veil, otherwise something bad would definitely have happened.

"Princess Consort Chen has already arrived without even saying a word. As the host, I truly regret that I haven't been able to fulfill my duties as her. Why don't you come with me to my residence today, Princess Consort Chen?"

Qin Su gripped the railing. "What if I disagree?"

The city lord said gently, "I hope Princess Consort Chen won't make things difficult for me. I only meant well."

What a load of bullshock!

Qin Su disliked talking to people who beat around the bush. They considered themselves smart and didn't like to put things out in the open, but Qin Su just found it a headache.

She felt her clothes being tugged, and when she turned her head, she met Luo Zhi's large, dark, and somewhat gray eyes. Luo Zhi whispered to her, "I have smoke bombs, and the poison kind too. Let's find a chance to run away. This is an antidote."

Qin Su had a pill handed to her, and so did everyone else.

Qin Su was indeed relieved.

As the sun set, he came in and whispered to Qin Su, "The Black Armor Army left behind in Shacheng has sensed something is wrong and is rushing this way."

Qin Su replied without hesitation, "Send them to the oasis to provide backup. Can you even get out?"

The setting sun nodded.

His martial arts skills are even better than Chongyang's, so leaving this place shouldn't be a problem for him.

"Has Princess Consort Chen made up her mind?"

"If Princess Consort Chen is unwilling to go, then I have no choice but to come and invite her."

He had heard that Yu Shuo cared a lot about this princess, and if he could take her away and hold her hostage, it would be of no harm to him.

Qin Su knew what he was planning, but she needed time to prepare, so she had to stall for time.

Most importantly, she had to wait for Yu Shuo to wake up.

Only if Yu Shuo wakes up will he have a better chance of leaving safely.

She turned to Luo Zhi and said, "Give me two smoke bombs."

Luo Zhi handed it to her without hesitation.

It was an oval-shaped object with a somewhat hard surface, but it didn't feel very hard when you squeezed it.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

"You guys find a chance to leave, I'll go downstairs for a bit."

Qin Su didn't give them a chance to speak before coming downstairs.

"I can go with you, but you have to let them leave."

The city lord shook his head. "Does the Princess Consort think I'm stupid for talking like that?"

Let them go and report back? How could that be possible?

Prince Chen is Emperor Mingyang's most cherished younger brother. If something happens to his princess, Emperor Mingyang will definitely not sit idly by. Regardless of the truth of the matter, he will directly lead his troops to attack.

He won't give them that opportunity.

"Why must the city lord be so ruthless? That little girl is just a person from the martial arts world; she doesn't understand the intrigues of the imperial court."

What's wrong with going to visit someone together?

He waved to signal the people behind him to arrest the person.

Qin Su drew his whip, and the soft whip shot out like a long dragon, instantly sending the people in front of him flying.

"What impressive skills!" the city lord praised on the spot. "Instead of being the Princess Consort of Prince Chen, you should join me. Besides, I heard that your White Tiger Stronghold doesn't want to submit either, so why don't you come with me?"

That's quite a clever scheme.

"It's not good for the city lord to be too greedy."

The city lord shook his head. "I'm not being greedy; I'm just showing you what it means to abandon darkness for light. As for them, they absolutely cannot leave today. You can stop one or two, ten or twenty, but can you stop thousands?"

"This is Shacheng, this is my territory."

Qin Su understood this principle, so without Luo Zhi's help, she would have had almost no confidence. But since Luo Zhi provided a smokescreen, she was highly confident.

"I said I would let them go."

She took the initiative to attack the city lord. This city lord was clearly a martial artist, and his attacks were powerful and fierce, each move accompanied by a strong gale.

Qin Su seized an opportunity to throw a smoke bomb, which instantly enveloped the entire inn, making it almost impossible to see anything.

Qin Su took the opportunity to take the antidote.

The city lord was oblivious to whether there was poison in the food; he only wanted to capture Qin Su.

Qin Su was highly skilled in martial arts and subdued the man on the ground almost instantly.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and wrapped around her waist. Before Qin Su could see what was happening, the person had already left the inn's lobby.

"Chase!"

The city lord shouted loudly, then suddenly spat out blood and felt dizzy.

The smoke bombs won't contain any deadly poison, but they'll be enough to give them a run for their money.

The scenery flashed by quickly, and all Qin Su could smell was the strange smell of smoke bombs and a faint fragrance. If she hadn't already left the inn, she would have barely been able to smell it.

Looking back, the entire inn was almost shrouded in smoke. After mounting their horses, they headed straight for the oasis. Qin Su didn't even have time to say anything to Yu Shuo.

"Hold on, don't get distracted," Yu Shuo told her, his voice steady, unlike his previous soft and confused tone.

Qin Su didn't have time to think much before the group headed straight for the oasis.

There was no time to say anything else; we had to get back to safety.

The Black Armor Army would never betray them. These men silently received Yu Shuo and the others, and then quickly moved towards Huang County.

They rushed back to Liujia Village by evening. As soon as Qin Su got off the bus, she grabbed Yu Shuo's sleeve and asked him, "How much do you remember?"

Yu Shuo handed the horse to Xieyang and gently patted her hand. "Do you mean for me to call you 'sister,' or something else?"

Qin Su: "..." That's clearly not what she meant.

"We'll talk about it later." He reassured Qin Su, then turned to Xie Yang and instructed him to do his job.

The arrival of the Black Armor Army made the atmosphere in Liu Family Village very tense, but fortunately, the Black Armor Army left quickly.

After everything was settled, Yu Shuo returned under the moonlight and stood at the courtyard gate looking at Qin Su.

Xieyang handed the matter over to Chongyang to handle, and he is currently staying by Yushuo's side.

"Why doesn't the master go in?" He didn't understand and felt puzzled.

Yu Shuo's lips tightened. "What time is it now? Did I marry her?"
