When the guests around heard this, they were no longer so dissatisfied.

"This accident is a problem of our inn. All guests' bills will be waived as compensation from us." Seeing this, the shopkeeper bowed and apologized again.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the customers calmed down.

Even if they accidentally eat drugged food, there will be no problem, and they can even get the meal for free, so there is nothing to be angry about.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yunxi's eyes. He looked at the new dishes served by the inn and didn't say much.

After finishing their meal and leaving the inn, the two were thinking about how to find someone, but they soon realized something was wrong.

Along the way, they encountered several assassinations and poisonings... The most outrageous thing was that they actually encountered a big pit on the road, which was full of spikes.

If they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have become hedgehogs by now.

After that, accidents happened one after another, and Lu Yunxi and Chen San were quite tired.

After the 39th accident, Lu Yunxi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Chen San, go and catch the man who was in the corner just now. I want to ask him why he is causing trouble for us." Her tone was cold, but a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips.

Shen San responded and silently grabbed the person hiding in the corner.

"Ahhh! What are you doing?! Let me go!" The man was shocked and struggled while shouting.

However, Shen San was very strong and was not something this young man could stop.

He was like a fish on a sticky plate. He jumped hard for a while, but was so tired and out of breath that he finally gave up.

Lu Yunxi's expression was cold: "Did you poison us along the way?"

The man's face was distorted with fear: "What are you talking about?! Of course not! I am a man who stands tall and proud. How could I possibly do something such petty people do?!"

"Master, don't believe his lies! This man followed us all the way. If he hadn't poisoned us, why would he follow us?!" Shen San rolled his eyes and sneered.

"It's unfair! I really don't dare to lie to you!"

Lu Yunxi's expression remained unchanged: "Shut up and continue."

The man choked and said, "I followed you because I was curious. I didn't expect you to be able to survive... You may not know that the prefect of Wuzhou has secretly ordered that no one is allowed to help the Cui family. If anyone helps, it will be against him."

"When the prefect gets angry, the lower officials will definitely suffer, so they will naturally try to stop you."

"What?!" Lu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. "The Wuzhou prefect is so powerful, can he control everyone in the prefecture?!"

"The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The prefect is so powerful here that who dares to disobey him?!" The man shook his head. "As soon as you came in, you asked about the Cui family everywhere. You've been targeted for a long time!"

Lu Yunxi and Shen San looked at each other, with some confusion in their eyes.

"Why... does the Wuzhou prefect have a grudge against the Cui family? Are the Cui family members still alive?" What kind of deep hatred is this that after someone has been exiled, they still rush to kick him when he is down?

"I don't know why the Wuzhou prefect wants to target the Cui family, but the Cui family is indeed still alive," the man said with a strange expression. "Although the prefect doesn't want us to help the Cui family, he doesn't intend to kill them either. I heard they were sent to Beizhen."

"North Town?"

The man knew very little information, and after they couldn't get any more information out of him, the two men left him alone.

A sudden fire broke out from a corner of Wuzhou City. The fire was so huge that the residents of Wuzhou were terrified by the fire.

Fortunately, someone reacted in time and rushed over with water.

Everyone worked together and it took them half an hour to completely extinguish the flames that were as tall as a person, leaving only billowing smoke.

No one noticed that in the corner, a man watched the flames gradually die out, revealing two charred corpses, and raised the corners of his lips.

He turned and whispered to the people following behind him, "Tell the adults that the mission has been completed. Remember to send the money to the designated place."

The people behind him nodded silently and left immediately.

Almost half of the people in Wuzhou were mobilized, so naturally no one noticed that two people jumped into the woods outside the city wall of Wuzhou.

"Ahem! That smoke is too choking! Oh my god!" Shen San covered his mouth and coughed for a long time before he felt his breathing become a little better. "Why do you have to escape like this? You can just run away."

Lu Yunxi stood by and waited patiently for a long time. Seeing that he was fine, she smiled and said, "If we don't escape, I'm afraid the prefect's people will keep chasing us, and it will be inconvenient to find anyone."

Shen San thought about it and couldn't help feeling helpless.

After discussing it, the two of them rushed all the way to Beizhen.

Wuzhou Beizhen. It is said that all the female members of the Cui family were sent there. As for the several boys in their family, it is not clear at the moment.

They came across some small villages on the way, and they asked for directions. They traveled quickly and soon arrived at Beizhen.

This is a relatively prosperous town with numerous houses scattered randomly in the streets and alleys. Unlike common towns, the houses in Beizhen are in different directions and shapes. Hexagonal and triangular houses can be seen everywhere, almost filling the entire town.

"Master, there is a wall outside this town! At least the Cui family doesn't have to worry about being abducted by soldiers from other countries." The towns they had seen before had no walls, only cities had them.

Lu Yunxi frowned.
