Chapter 149 Familiar
After Cheng Nianying left the north of the city, she wandered around the streets for a few rounds before returning to the Cen family.
Fu Yi was sitting in Tingxuexuan. Seeing her walk in empty-handed, he turned his gaze away and asked, "Are you happy to be able to come and go freely like this?"
Of course Cheng Nianying nodded honestly.
"You haven't found all the gold head ornaments yet." Fu Yi waved his hand, and the guard immediately came over with a box and opened it for Cheng Nianying to see.
Cheng Nianying looked down and saw a box of colorful jade and pearl jewelry inside, which was shining with a bright light and was very dazzling.
Compared with the golden headdress, the style is more exquisite and delicate, and it should be more valuable.
"Just use these first." Fu Yi said.
Cheng Nianying looked up: "Give it to me?"
"For you." Fu Yi remembered that she had taken almost nothing with her when she left the Prince's Mansion, so she added, "For Xiao He."
After a pause, he changed his words with a dark face: "To Xiao Miao."
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips and smiled quietly.
But he still shook his head: "It's too heavy and fragile. It will break if touched."
Still think it's not lighter than the gold head mask? Worried that it's too heavy to carry when you run away?
Fu Yi asked the guard to close the box and said, "Okay, I'll change it into gold for you."
It seems that he is too easy to talk to.
After reaching an agreement, the two sat down to eat together.
Until the meal was over, Fu Yi didn't ask her where she had been today, as if he really wanted to give her absolute freedom.
The next day, Cheng Nianying went out as usual, and still no one stopped her.
The same thing happened on the third and fourth days.
But today, after Cheng Nianying left, the guard came to Fu Yi and whispered, "It seems there is news about Yin Heng."
Fu Yi raised his eyes: "What do you mean by 'seem'?"
The guard said awkwardly, "Our people found a young man in the city selling a piece of calligraphy. The calligraphy was 'Ludong Pavilion Record'..."
"It was written by Yin Heng's teacher." Fu Yi continued.
The guard nodded and continued, "The young man said he wanted to sell it and go find his relatives, who were far away working at the Prince's Palace in Yujing. The owner of Boguzhai refused to listen to him. Seeing his ragged clothes, how could he believe that the calligraphy in his hand was real?
"So they just drove him away. But the young man was very persistent and came back again the next day..."
"Someone below thought this was quite suggestive, so they reported it."
"Yin Heng is not dead. He is looking for me." Fu Yi stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
When we arrived in front of Boguzhai, we saw a young man who looked crazy and could not speak clearly.
"If you come again, I'll break your legs!" the owner shouted angrily.
"Another one from the north of the city."
"Why not expel them from Weiyang?"
"The Cen family is still kind-hearted." The people around talked.
Amo supported himself on the ground and crawled up, his calloused hands slowly clenching.
He couldn't beat that "Miss Jiang," but it would be easy to kill these people. But he couldn't do it, because he still remembered Yin Heng's instructions.
Amo was about to move forward again and persistently ask the other party to accept his calligraphy.
At this moment, a hand reached out from behind and patted his shoulder: "Our master wants this calligraphy of yours."
Amo turned his head and saw that a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted up by a hand.
The hand was pampered and white.
Is it him? Is he the person Lord Yin is looking for?
Amo's heart was pounding and he walked closer in panic.
The person in the carriage asked directly: "Where is Yin Heng?" His tone was gentle, somewhat similar to that of Lord Yin.
But when Amo raised his head carefully, he felt that this person's temperament was completely different.
It made him feel an instinctive fear.

North of the city.
Someone came here on horseback: "Someone come here."
Pale-faced and thin people slowly poked their heads out of the low-ceilinged houses. Seeing the visitor dressed respectably and riding a horse, one man boldly approached and asked, "Are you here looking for work, sir?"
The man chuckled, "Exactly."
"Then, sir, please take a look at me..."
"That's not enough. I need two more," the man on horseback said, throwing down a purse. "Here, it's a reward. If you succeed, there will be another reward. You won't have to live in this shabby place anymore."
The man was overjoyed and quickly picked up the copper coins on the ground.
When the others heard the sound, they immediately rushed out.
"Get out of here! I'll only pick three." The man on horseback shouted impatiently, raising the whip in his hand high.
This was the scene Cheng Nianying saw as soon as she climbed over the ditch.
She knew that she stood out here, so without thinking, she hid behind the low wall.
The man on horseback quickly picked out three relatively tall and strong men.
There is no way to become stronger. After all, people here are often hungry. How can they be strong?
"I'll tell you what to do later." The man drove his horse closer and asked, "Have you seen Ah Mo recently?"
The people around him shook their heads: "He hasn't been back for several months."
"Yeah yeah."
"Really?" the man said with a scowl. "Don't let me catch you lying."
Everyone waved their hands again and again, their backs bent: "We dare not, we dare not."
When Cheng Nianying heard this conversation, she already put her hands on her waist.
But the man quickly rode away, taking the three men with him.
Cheng Nianying finally pushed the door open and entered the room. Only Yin Heng was inside. He was already able to get up and walk, and seeing Cheng Nianying, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
He moved his lips, but the words were not yet out of his mouth.
"Amo is not here?" Cheng Nianying asked first.
"He went out to do something I asked him to do. What happened?"
"It's not safe here. You need to move. Now."
Yin Heng's face changed slightly. He turned around and bowed hastily to the corpse on the bed as a thank you for taking him in.
Then, without any hesitation, he limped out following Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying was dissatisfied with his slow walking and grabbed his arm.
Yin Heng blushed and held his anger so as not to cause trouble for Cheng Nianying.
Finally, the people were placed in a cave behind the forest north of the city.
Cheng Nianying lit a fire for him, kept the fire going, taught him how to learn, how to leave signals, etc., before leaving.
"I'll go wait for Amo."
Yin Heng: "Okay!"
He also didn't expect that after Amo went out to inquire around, he came back to find out that Prince Danshuo was actually staying at the Cen family.
Ah Mo naturally couldn't contact anyone, so he could only use a roundabout way...
I don’t know if there will be any results today.
If it is impossible to meet with Prince Danshuo for a long time, should Miss Jiang take the risk?
Yin Heng frowned slightly and used a wooden stick to poke the flames in front of him.
This makes it much warmer.
He stared at the flames, unconsciously revealing a hint of joy in his smile. No matter how he paid her back, it would never be enough.

"Wait." Fu Yi got off the carriage, leaving the guards behind, and followed Amo forward with only two people.
After walking through the smelly ditch, we arrived in front of the low house.
"He's in there." Amo raised his hand and pushed, but there was nothing inside.
Ah Mo's expression suddenly changed: "Where are the people?"
Fu Yi followed him into the room, but did not show any strange expression because of the strange smell.
He looked around and said calmly, "There's no sign of disorder, which means they weren't taken away by force, but left on their own."
Ah Mo said anxiously, "But, but he has a knife wound on his waist, how can he leave?"
"Maybe there are secret codes or signs left. Look for them first."
Ah Mo nodded repeatedly. As he searched around, he suddenly remembered, "I see. Yes, it might have been taken away by Miss Jiang."
"Miss Jiang?"
"Yeah, yeah. She's very good. She protected Lord Yin."
The guard interrupted: "Lover?"
Ah Mo: "No, no, but, but..." Even my boyfriend wouldn't have such a good woman, right? Ah Mo thought.
Fu Yi frowned as he listened.
River. River.
At this time, the guard grabbed the small white porcelain box on the wooden table and stammered, "Master, this, this..."
He now realized how rude his words were, and cold sweat broke out all over his back.
Fu Yi turned around: "What?"
"Looks familiar, this one looks familiar, and that one, that medicine bottle looks familiar too..."
That bad premonition suddenly came true.
The content of the letter that Yin Heng had written earlier flashed through Fu Yi's mind like lightning.
When Yin Heng was about to be assassinated, someone saved him.
This person.
It's her.
