Entering the upper room, Huo Jincheng expressed satisfaction after seeing the money and threw a silver ingot to the waiter. As soon as he said that there was no need to change it, the waiter immediately smiled, nodded and bowed, closed the door and left happily.
"No need to stare at me." Huo Jincheng said before Jian Ning could say anything, "Don't you have a big house with you? Why bother renting two rooms and paying for them? You can go to your big house to rest at night. I can't see you when you go in, but maybe you can see me. I'm not worried about you peeping at me, so what else do you have to worry about?"
"I was peeking at you?" Jian Ning laughed in anger. She glanced at him from head to toe, her gaze deliberately lingering on a certain spot for two seconds before raising her chin. "What's there to look at? It's been so long since A'man Niang passed away and you still haven't married. Maybe you didn't marry because you're no longer useful to her. Who knows?"
After saying that, she slipped into the Baicao Room.
"You woman, you just keep talking nonsense." It was the first time that Huo Jincheng saw a living person disappear out of thin air before his eyes. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said to where Jian Ning had just stood, "Only Ding Youtian indulged you. If it were anyone else, they would have divorced you eight hundred... well..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked by a green apple, and he narrowly avoided knocking out a front tooth. Then Jian Ning's voice rang in his ear: "Stop talking nonsense, go to the street and buy two sets of Yueguo people's clothes. Don't just buy your own, let's each buy a set. You pay for it. I came here to help you. Go!"
Although Jian Ning did not mention it, Huo Jincheng also had this plan. Since they were not on an official mission to the Yue Kingdom, they naturally had to find out first whether Ma Lao had indeed arrived in Shangjing and was hiding in the Yue Kingdom's palace before they could come forward to demand her.
He took the unripe apple out of his mouth, stuffed it into his arms, turned away angrily, and slammed the door.
Tsk, I can’t cure you.
Jian Ning emerged from Baicaojian, went downstairs to greet the previous waiter, and asked him to tell Huo Jincheng that he had to go out for something urgent, and asked him to wait for him at the inn when he came back and not to run around.
"This is for you." Jian Ning thought about it and quietly stuffed some silver into his pocket. "I have a friend who works in the palace. I need her help with something. Could you point me to the location of the palace?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Come with me." The waiter led her outside the store and pointed out the specific direction for her. "Just go ahead and don't worry. When your husband comes back, I'll just say you went out for something. I won't tell him where you went."
Jian Ning smiled. "What a clever waiter!" "Old Six is now running a thriving restaurant in the capital. Even Zhang Mazi's restaurant there can't match his business." Dabao had written to her and Ding Youtian the other day, telling her that Uncle Six's restaurant was booming, several times better than the one he'd previously worked for.
The good business was not only due to Laoliu and Xiaoyu's management skills, but also naturally benefited from the skills of the chef Zhao Chuqi. Jian Ning now knew that Chuqi's father was originally a chef in the residence of the prince consort of Qing State, that is, the current Empress Dowager of Yue State and the former chef in the residence of Princess Minhui of Qing State.
Jian Ning walked to a secluded place and slipped into the Baicaojian. She planned to go to the palace to investigate whether Ma Lao had defected to Yue Kingdom and entered the palace. After all, people in the martial arts world were much faster than ordinary people. She was not sure whether Ma Lao had arrived in Shangjing City yet, so she could only go to the palace to find out.
She was walking among the grass, practicing her lightness skills, and soon she arrived outside the Moon Kingdom Palace following the directions of the waiter. From the appearance, the style was very different from that of the Yan Dynasty Palace. Almost every palace had a pointed roof. Although they were all built with a combination of bamboo and stone, they looked particularly majestic and spectacular because of their height, showing the majesty of the royal family everywhere. In Jane Ning's eyes, they also had a heavy sense of history.
Jian Ning walked around outside for a long time and chose a relatively remote courtyard wall to start her attack. She took a deep breath and jumped up, but with a "bang", she seemed to have hit an invisible hard stone wall in the Baicao Room. When she fell to the ground, she was bounced out of the Baicao Room and rolled outside the courtyard wall.
Oh my god! What’s going on?
Jian Ning slipped into the herb garden and wanted to try again, but she heard a flurry of footsteps running towards the courtyard wall.
Without having time to think, Jane Ning quickly retreated. The wizards of the Moon Kingdom were too fucking perverted. It was the first time that Jane Ning was ejected from Baicaojian not because the time was up. She guessed that there were barriers set up by wizards all around the Moon Kingdom Palace. Could it be that they used witchcraft?
Thinking of the strange magic of Ma Lao and Jiang Tongpan that made them invulnerable to swords and guns, and then thinking of the witchcraft that had just thrown her out of the grass, Jane Ning felt like a huge stone had fallen in her heart. These guys were so difficult to deal with, she was really worried that modern weapons would lose their advantage.
When encountering difficulties, one should seek help from the leader. Jian Ning habitually sent a message to Ma Fuquan, telling him what had just happened and her worries.
After a moment, Ma Fuquan replied: "Don't worry. Ancient warfare emphasized military tactics and strategy; the general's intelligence and wisdom were the key factors in determining victory or defeat. Besides, not everyone in the Moon Nation is a wizard, possessing powerful sorcerers. Don't be too aggressive. Protect yourself and contact me if you need any help."
Jane Ning felt relieved. She went back to the inn and found Huo Jincheng had not returned yet. She waited for a while but he still did not come back. When Jane Ning was about to go out to find him, he pushed the door open and came in.
"Where have you been? What took you so long?"
"Are you worried about me?"
"Why would I worry about you? I just bought a couple of clothes out of curiosity. I should have replied long ago. Can't I just ask out of curiosity?"
"Don't worry, I went to do something else."
Jian Ning rolled her eyes secretly. She had already said that she was asking out of curiosity, but she was too lazy to argue with him. "What else did you do?"
Huo Jincheng fished out two pieces of what looked like animal bones from his arms and gave one to Jian Ning. "Here, this is a photo ID from the Yue Kingdom. Yours is Mi Li's. From now on in the Yue Kingdom, you'll be Mi Li, and I'll be Mai Hu. Remember that."
Jian Ning took it in his hand and looked at it. There were Yueguo characters engraved on it, which should be the name, age, address, etc., similar to the use of modern ID cards.
"Did you go to Mi Li's house and get it?"
"What else? It's always better to be prepared. Since we're going to be spying here for a few days, a photo ID is essential."
"You spent money on that one, right? Money is good, there's nothing you can't do." Jian Ning accepted Mi Li's photo ID with a smile, "I'll return it to her in person later."
"It's okay if she doesn't return it. She can go to the government to apply for a new one." Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Ning, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He wanted to say that not everything in the world can be done with money, for example: there is no place to buy the medicine for regret.
Jian Ning went into the herb room to change her clothes. After she finished changing, she turned around and saw Huo Jincheng pacing in the room with his clothes in his arms, pondering and glancing at her from time to time.
Is this guy really worried that she will peek at him?
Jian Ning was just laughing and was about to mock him when he heard a commotion in the inn downstairs. It sounded like soldiers were breaking in.
