When Wu Lianyi was undergoing her ascension lightning tribulation, her most beloved young disciple tampered with it, causing her to fall under the tribulation lightning. However, before she died, s...
Because they did not travel with the main force and were less of a burden, Lianyi and his party arrived in Wujiang County that afternoon.
Wujiang County is very large, consisting of three Huairou counties. At this time, the sun has not yet set, and there are many people coming in and out. The peddlers and hawkers coming and going are all in a hurry, and there are also many women showing their faces.
"Aunt Zhen, this place is much bigger than the town at the foot of the Su Nu Palace. Let's stay here for two days!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"You arrange these, just don't delay your trip."
Wang Zhenzhen was in no hurry to get going, but Wang Yaozu beside her was a little anxious. He whispered:
"Lady, let's hurry up! If it's father."
"I understand, but you should not be impatient at this time. Before, you were in a hurry to get on the road, and you were surrounded by guards, but you were still ambushed, right?
You revealed your whereabouts in Huairou County and were betrayed by your classmates. The closer you get to Longxi, the more people will be waiting to assassinate you. You must be fully prepared, otherwise these people will time you and block you. What will I do if I can't protect you with my own fists?"
Wang Yaozu immediately wilted when he heard Lian Yi's words. What she said was the truth and he couldn't refute it.
"So what you said about letting me change my clothes so that those people can't recognize me, is that true?"
"How could it be false? I must protect my reputation and get the 10,000 gold reward!"
Lianyi's solemn words made Wang Yaozu feel better, and then he began to look around for a place to stay.
They randomly picked an inn and booked two upper rooms. Lianyi asked the waiter to boil some hot water. After the three of them washed up, she asked Wang Zhenzhen to rest first, and she took Wang Yaozu out of the inn.
When the sun set, Lianyi brought a slim, pretty black-skinned girl into the inn. The girl was looking around, and it was obviously her first time in such a place.
"Boss, please help me get a room upstairs."
The shopkeeper was counting the accounts. After hearing Lianyi's words, he immediately put down the account book in his hand and asked with a smile:
"Sir, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"
“No, I opened two upper rooms because my driver was injured while protecting his master. I wanted him to stay in the upper room and recuperate for two days before going on the road again. However, he thought it was unlucky to get injured while working, so he quit his job as a driver.
I can't force it either. I just bought a maid temporarily. She just needs to take good care of my wife. There's no need for two upper rooms."
Lianyi looked helpless and explained with her hands spread out.
"I see. But it's been half a day, don't you think?"
"This is our problem. It has nothing to do with the inn. You can deduct half a day's room fee."
She was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
"Thank you for your understanding! We will provide you with free meals tonight. What would you like to eat?"
The shopkeeper was very capable and immediately gave real benefits.
"Don't bother too much at night, just three bowls of noodle soup will be fine."
"Okay! Sir, please go upstairs and have a rest. I'll have the waiter bring the noodles up when they're ready."
Lianyi nodded, and took the looking-around maid to the second floor. The shopkeeper took a casual glance and found that the maid had big feet and broad shoulders, and it was obvious that she was stronger than an average maid.
After entering the remaining upper room, Lianyi introduced it to Wang Zhenzhen with a smile:
"Madam Zhen, the driver was afraid of trouble and was injured, so he quit his job. I thought you couldn't be without someone to take care of you, so I bought a maid to do the heavy work."
After saying that, he waved to the shy girl and said:
"Zu girl, come and meet your Madam Zhen."
The person called Zu Yatou had a dark face. She took a step forward and said:
"Mrs. Jane, I will have to trouble you again in the future."
When Mrs. Jane heard the voice, she smiled and said:
"Isn't this Yaozu? How did he become like this?"
"Mrs. Jane, Lady Ripple said that in order to make me completely invisible, she took me for a walk outside, made me a human skin mask, and asked me to dress up as a woman. She said that even my father would not be able to recognize me, and the people who wanted to kill me would definitely not be able to find me."
"That's right, don't you see whose work it is?"
Lianyi flattered herself first, then turned around and asked Aunt Zhen:
"Didn't Madam notice it before he started talking?"
"That's true. Your disguise is very successful, but you've revealed your true identity the moment you open your mouth."
Wang Zhenzhen took a sip of tea and continued to ask.
This kind of disguise is child's play for people in the martial arts world. It just depends on the level of each person's skills. It is not uncommon, and Lianyi is obviously an advanced one.
"It's okay. I'll get some medicine tomorrow to change his voice. As long as he talks less and does more, he shouldn't be discovered."
Wang Yaozu was still a little uncomfortable at this time. He was touching his face, thinking that he had really broadened his horizons this time and that the sacrifice was too great. Then he unconsciously adjusted the white flour bun stuffed in his chest, which made Lianyi smile.
"You need to get used to it for two days. Once the voice-changing medicine is ready, we will set off. We will make sure everything goes well."
"I see."
After solving Wang Yaozu's problem, Lianyi asked about the group of children:
"I don't know if those children have arrived yet."
"It should be in the next two days."
The five children that the two men were worried about had now been picked up by the people who stayed at the foot of the Su Nu Palace mountain. In the middle of the night, Su Yun went down the mountain specially and brought the five children back to the Su Nu Palace.
After confirming Suyun's identity, the leading boy took off her tight clothes and held a letter in front of him.
"Brother Suyun, Lady Lianyi asked me to bring this to you. She said you'll know once you see it. It contains the banknotes she earned."
Su Yun took the letter and clothes, read them quickly, then called another junior sister to settle the children. Then he took the letter and the banknote to see Palace Master Su.
Qi Qi tried his best but still failed to catch up with Lian Yi and his group. However, he received news that they had been attacked, so he asked the people around him to find out who did it.
One day later, Qi Qi got the three characters "Hai Zang Hong". He searched his memory and then frowned:
"The grandson of the Director of the Shipping Department, does he have any grudge against Madam Zhen?"
"They have no quarrel with Mrs. Jane, but with the driver. As for who the driver is, I haven't found out yet."
The people around him responded immediately.
"Then go ask the people around Hai Zanghong."
"yes."
The next day, Qi Qi found out the identity of the coachman, who turned out to be the second son of the Wang family in Longxi.
"The information is accurate."
"It was said by his attendants that his son met Wang Yaozu, the second son of the Wang family, at the escort agency in Huairou County. The two had a bad relationship in the academy before, and it is estimated that they are preparing to take revenge on each other this time."
"Not really. The conflict in the academy was not enough to make him want to kill the other party. If I remember correctly, Wang Yaozu was assassinated on his way back to Longxi, and then he disappeared."
