So, Ji Xingzhi didn't say any more nonsense and asked directly, "Has Yuxu done anything suspicious recently?"
The reason why Ji Xingzhi didn't tie up Yu Xu directly was because of Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng was ordered by Ji Xingzhi to keep an eye on Yuxu and report to Ji Xingzhi if he found anything suspicious. However, they were ambushed again and again over the past few days, but Zhou Zheng never told Ji Xingzhi anything about Yuxu, not even a single mention of it.
After hearing Ji Xingzhi's question, Zhou Zheng showed no surprise and said calmly, "No. All my food, clothing, and daily expenses are the same as those of the princess and the county lord. Apart from the princess and the county lord, I have not had any contact with anyone else, nor have I done anything suspicious."
In a word, more normal than normal people.
Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly and said, "Is there nothing different from ordinary people?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said seriously, "Yes. He's incredibly hardworking and hasn't complained a single time along the way. He eats whatever is given to him and doesn't say much."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "How can this be considered unusual? Didn't my cousin and Luo Bai have no complaints at all?"
Speaking of this, she really had to praise Ji Ruhua's delicate girls. Even when they were dressed as beggars, they never complained about the princess' temper.
Come to think of it... Luo Bai doesn't have any other problems except being playful and a little willful at times. Ji Ruhua is simply perfect.
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. "Uh... then no."
Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and said, "Okay, go and rest."
"Yes." Zhou Zheng bowed to Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan again, then left the room, closed the door, and continued to carry out his task of monitoring Yu Xu.
Ji Xingzhi put his elbows on the table with a helpless look on his face, propped up his chin with his hand and said, "Uncle, is there trouble again tonight?"
Xiao Moyan lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand, nodded imperceptibly, and replied softly, "Hmm."
This answer was expected. Things had not been peaceful these past few days. Ji Xingzhi thought about it and came up with a solution after much deliberation.
Ji Xingzhi excitedly suggested, "Uncle, why don't we split our forces into two groups?"
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, looked up at Ji Xingzhi, and asked, "How do we divide it?"
Ji Xingzhi touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "The most suspicious person right now is Yuxu. You, Yuxu, and Zhou Zheng will go with me. My cousin, Luo Bai, and Bai Xiu will go with me. Bai Xiu has arranged for the rest of the people. Even if I make arrangements, I don't think they will listen."
Xiao Moyan was silent for a while, then replied calmly, "As you wish."
So, that night, on the eve of the assassin's arrival, Ji Xingzhi divided his troops into two groups according to the previous arrangement.
Before parting, Luo Bai, with red eyes, said a lot of things to Ji Xingzhi like a little white rabbit, such as be careful and meet again in the imperial capital of Shuizhou.
Ji Xingzhi's heart couldn't help but soften. Although Luo Bai had separated from her because of A Tao's incident, at the critical moment, Luo Bai was still very worried about her. After all, she was still a simple child.
Ji Xingzhi smiled slightly, reached out and hugged Luo Bai, and reminded him, "You have to be careful too. Listen to Master Bai's arrangements and don't be willful."
Luo Bai nodded aggrievedly.
Ji Ruhua was still as beautiful as ever, like an exquisite doll, with her usual faint smile on her face. She bowed slightly to Ji Xingzhi, and her thousand words were condensed into five words: "Your Majesty, please take care."
Ji Xingzhi didn't doubt it and smiled back, "You too."
The group split into two, just like the previous times, leaving an empty inn for the group of men in black. Even the inn owner and waiters were sent away by Ji Xingzhi.
