Compared to their unconditional invitation to enter the city without asking for anything in return, something that could be solved by spending a little money was really not a problem.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will reward you handsomely once we enter the city!"
"Hey! Don't thank me yet. Before all this, I need to see how many of you there are before I can decide whether or not to take you all in!"
Cui Jinyi was not surprised at all and nodded readily.
With such a composed demeanor, Zhen Wanwan's carefully prepared draft ultimately had no room to be used.
Let's go!
Before long, Zhen Wanwan and the other two arrived at Cui Jinyi's temporary residence.
Along the way, she already knew Cui Jinyi's name. Through their conversation, Zhen Wanwan, who was usually oblivious, also noticed that something was wrong with Cui Jinyi.
This child seems to be a cross-dresser! She's clearly a girl, but she's wearing men's clothes.
I don't know if she dressed up specifically for convenience when walking around.
Just by looking at Cui Jinyi's exquisite features, she knew how stunning she would look in women's clothing.
Zhen Wanwan is a sucker for good looks; she'll love whoever is pretty!
While she was thinking, Cui Jinyi had already introduced Zhen Wanwan and A Yue to Old Master Cui and Old Madam Cui.
The two elderly people looked quite old, with kind faces, and their eyes were full of love for Cui Jinyi.
Madam Cui held Zhen Wanwan's hand and patted the back of her hand, saying, "Thank you for your willingness to help us! Ajin has already told us, so don't worry, we will definitely not cause trouble after we enter the city!"
Looking at the kind old woman who resembled her maternal grandparents from a past life, Zhen Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears.
She held back her tears.
"Ah Jin, get your things ready and come with me into the city!"
Cui Jinyi worked quickly; they didn't have much stuff to begin with, so packing was a breeze.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the three members of the Cui family, along with Zhen Wanwan and her companion, a group of five, followed behind Zhen Wanwan and headed in another direction from the city.
At first, Cui Jinyi didn't notice anything unusual, but after walking a considerable distance, she realized what was going on.
She had already searched the area outside Anqing Prefecture City thoroughly, leaving no corner unchecked. How could she not know that this road was in the opposite direction from the road into the city?
She wanted to ask Zhen Wanwan, but she was afraid of causing panic in front of her grandparents. It would be even worse if she frightened them.
Ignoring her little scheme, Zhen Wanwan took the all-purpose explorer in her hand and followed the direction indicated by the little red dot.
Through her conversation with Cui Jinyi, Zhen Wanwan gained a general understanding of the current situation in Anqing Prefecture.
After she left, the Northern Hu people changed their tactics and prepared to besiege the city, hoping to trap them and starve them to death.
However, only those who have been to Anqing Prefecture know that the one thing they have no shortage of is food.
Lu Yunshen went along with their wishes, outwardly feigning a lack of food in order to lower the guard of the Northern Hu people.
Therefore, the Northern Hu people guarded the city gates of the prefecture very strictly, and did not allow people to enter or leave easily.
The group of people Cui Jinyi mentioned earlier should be members of the Yu family.
Because of this accident, the Northern Hu people became even more vigilant, guarding the city gates tightly and not letting even a rat escape.
Zhen Wanwan had given up on entering through the main gate. When they left the city earlier, the guards had told her that there was a secret passage leading directly into the city.
Zhen Wanwan made a point of memorizing the general direction, intending to find the secret passage.
Watch your step!
