Li Yan returned to her room and wrote a letter to Xing Yun to tell him that she had found the peppercorns, and she would contact him again when she returned.

After Li Yan finished writing the letter, she found Qian Wang and said, "Mr. Qian, you guys are going by water, which will surely be much faster than us. I have a letter here. Please give it to General Xing. It will also help him get the news as soon as possible, so he doesn't have to worry about this matter!"

Qian Wang took Li Yan's letter in a good mood and said, "Alright, I'll thank you on his behalf for this!"

"When are you leaving?" Qian Wang asked.

Li Yan: "We've been out for a long time and will be leaving tomorrow!"

Qian Wang picked up the teacup in front of him and said to Li Yan, "Then I wish you a safe journey!"

After the two finished talking, Li Yan returned to the house, packed her bags, and went to bed early.

On the second day, when Lin Feng and his group were about to leave, the Qian family's shopkeeper hurried forward and politely said, "Brother Lin, our young master has already ordered clothes and food to be prepared for you on the road. Please accept them!"

Without giving Lin Feng a chance to refuse, the shopkeeper ordered the servants behind him to move the things onto the mule cart of Lin Feng and his group.

Seeing a few more bags of food and clothes on the car, Lin Feng clasped his fists in thanks: "Mr. Qian, you are so kind. Thank you so much!"

After the two exchanged greetings, Lin Feng led his men out of the city.

After five days of traveling, they finally arrived at Yuecheng.

Li Yan looked at the tall city wall in front of her and felt as if she was in another day.

Lin Feng led his people to the Fulai Inn. The shopkeeper Chen was very happy to see Li Yan return safely and came forward excitedly.

"Brother, you're finally back! Did you have a smooth journey?"

Lin Feng: "Everything went well, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

Shopkeeper Chen led the group to the room they had stayed in last time. "Brother, I've kept the room for you. I've been waiting for you to come back. Now that I see you've all returned safely, I'm relieved! We won't be home until we're drunk tonight!"

Lin Feng was also very grateful to Manager Chen in his heart and agreed without hesitation!

When the inn closed in the evening, Manager Chen came to find Lin Feng with two jars of old wine.

After drinking more than thirty glasses of wine, Shopkeeper Chen said, "Brother, don't you know what happened during the time you were away?"

Shopkeeper Chen lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu is dead!"

Lin Feng: "What happened?"

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head. "All I know is that during that time, Mr. Liu invited all the doctors in the city to come to his house, but soon the patient died!"

Li Yan looked at Zhou Xun and asked softly, "What did you do then?"

Zhou Xun curled his lips: "I told him not to indulge in lust again! This end is his own fault!"

Li Yan couldn't help but look sideways. She didn't expect that Zhou Xun, who was usually quiet, could be so cruel when it came to disciplining others.

Shopkeeper Chen burped and continued, "Wang Er was left with nothing but his body! So, we should never do anything immoral. Look at what happened to him!"

The monkey asked curiously, "Then how did you find out he was missing?"

Shopkeeper Chen: "That's because a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood found the only thing left after a wild beast had eaten it, and he was so frightened that he reported it to the authorities!"

Tie Zhu took a bite of the chicken leg and asked, "Then Boss Lu and the others didn't pursue this matter?"

Shopkeeper Chen scoffed, "What's the point of investigating? I think they even want to kill Wang Er! I heard from Old Huang that Lu came back and found his money missing. He searched everywhere for Wang Er, and when he found Wang Er dead, he checked out of the inn that night and left the city!"
