Chapter 167 The Yin Family’s Thank You Gift
"Don't worry. Ah Xian knows the army better than you do. Those farmers can only besiege the Cen family temporarily, but they can't really block them there. Once the local soldiers from Weiyang rush up the mountain, Ah Xian can command them to play a greater role."
As if afraid that Cheng Nianying would not give in, Yin Huiyi added this.
Ah Xian, on the other hand, was not too reassured and frowned as he called out, "Master."
Obviously, even though Cheng Nianying had saved Yin Heng, he still didn't trust her.
Cheng Nianying blinked, and at this moment she felt that this exchange was very good.
In this way, they will be hostages to each other, and there is no need to worry about the Yin family not contributing.
So she jumped up and jumped down the cave first.
Yin Huiyi smiled upon seeing this and said to Ah Xian, "Go ahead."
Even though Ah Xian was worried, loyalty and obedience were ingrained in him, so he had no choice but to agree.
Yin Huiyi held onto the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and his robe fell to the ground. He walked behind Cheng Nianying and suddenly asked, "Miss Jiang, are you acquainted with Prince Danshuo?"
Cheng Nianying turned her head away.
"Otherwise, I can't imagine why Miss Jiang would have to go back. There is only one person still trapped in the Cen family... and that is Prince Danshuo."
Although Fu Yi didn't let her mention his name, the person in front of her was too smart.
Cheng Nianying hummed softly, indicating her agreement.
She didn't care if Yin Huiyi misunderstood her motives. How could the Yin family repay her kindness? She just wanted the money anyway.
Yin Huiyi said nothing more. They all knew they couldn't delay any longer, so they hurried out of the woods. As they reached the street, Yin Huiyi whispered, "Be careful of the soldiers on curfew patrol."
"Just follow me." Cheng Nianying walked in front with light steps.
The benefits of not returning home for one night and strolling from the east to the west and then to the south of Weiyang City became apparent at this time.
She knew the patrol routes of the soldiers, how the night watchmen moved, and even when the city gates would open and who would open them.
The girl was bathed in moonlight, and when her figure was about to be lengthened, she cleverly blended into the eaves.
Yin's father and son followed her steps and indeed they didn't run into anyone along the way.
Now even Yin Huiyi couldn't hide his surprise.
"Letting Ah Xian go back to the mountain and letting Miss Jiang lead us out of the city is a very correct decision. Ah Xian is not that familiar with Weiyang City."
When Cheng Nianying heard this, she didn't think it was anything special.
Yin Huiyi lowered his voice and asked, "Is it because of the killer's habit?"
Cheng Nianying's eyes flickered. Scouting every place she went to was truly a habit ingrained in her bones.
Yin Heng was a little confused in the back. Killer? What killer? How come his father knew more than him?
Cheng Nianying didn't answer, and Yin Huiyi didn't care. He whispered, "Let's stop here. Yin Ping and the others are waiting for us inside."
Cheng Nianying turned around and saw an inn.
It was not realistic to knock on the door of the inn at this time, so Cheng Nianying went upstairs to look for Yin Ping and others.
Yin Ping was a light sleeper, and Cheng Nianying woke him up as soon as she came in. When he sat up, he saw two big dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not been able to sleep well since Yin Heng "died".
"Miss Jiang?!" Yin Ping exclaimed in disbelief.
"Shhh."
"What's wrong with you..." Yin Ping almost burst into tears, "Master..."
"Downstairs. Call your people, pack up your things and leave the city at dawn." Cheng Nianying said concisely.
Yin Ping was so happy that he cried and hurried to wake up the others.
downstairs.
Only then did Yin Huiyi have the opportunity to carefully examine his son's current situation.
His hair was disheveled and his clothes were tattered.
Yin Huiyi couldn't help but sigh: "Was it Prince Danshuo's idea for you to come to Weiyang?"
Yin Heng shook his head: "Why do you say that, father? Coming to Weiyang was my own idea."
Yin Huiyi also knew that there was no point in asking this. Given Fu Yi's personality, he would most likely use other people to push things forward.
His eyes flickered again and again, and he asked Yin Heng how he saved his life. Yin Heng then told him about Amo.
Yin Huiyi was speechless.
How could there be such a kind person in the world as his son? He even took the knife for someone who had been chasing him!
Yin Huiyi gritted his teeth, but he also knew that this was precisely why Ah Mo had desperately tried to escape with Yin Heng. Otherwise, if Yin Heng stayed in the county government office, he would likely die sooner or later. The county government, unaware of his origins, was waiting to kill him and replace him with one of their own.
"Later, Miss Jiang found me and gave me a lot of medicine..."
Yin Heng instinctively told his father what contribution Cheng Nianying had made so that his father would know.
Yin Huiyi suddenly interrupted, "Do you know what the relationship is between Miss Jiang and Prince Danshuo?"
"Of course... there is affection."
"I don't think so." Yin Huiyi said, then asked him, "Don't you believe it?"
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from behind. Yin Huiyi turned around and saw Cheng Nianying landing gently on the ground.
Without even making a sound, what a skill it is.
Yin Huiyi smiled and said, "Miss Jiang should be a top-ranked assassin in her organization, right?"
Cheng Nianying gave him a strange look and said, "No."
Yin Huiyi's face showed surprise, and then he said, "I've also encountered many assassination attempts, but honestly, few have the skills of Miss Jiang. If someone like this can't even make the list, then either they are stupid, or you are their hidden trump card."
Cheng Nianying was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "Neither."
Yin Huiyi's words were originally just a compliment. After laying the groundwork, he said, "There's still some time before the city gates open. I want to ask Miss Jiang, were you ordered by Prince Danshuo to rescue Yin Heng and escort me out of the Cen family?"
He paused, then said, "The reason I'm asking you so openly is because I'm thinking of your life-saving grace. I shouldn't make assumptions. Why not just speak frankly and believe whatever you say?"
That's good.
Cheng Nianying also saved herself the trouble and simply shook her head: "I saved Yin Heng, but he gave me eighty taels of silver to save him."
Yin Huiyi laughed and said, "How can eighty taels be enough?"
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment and continued, "Yin Heng knew that I wanted to find what I lost, so he sneaked into the Cen family and met Prince Danshuo at the Cen family."
This also cleared Fu Yi's suspicion.
Yin Huiyi nodded and asked, "Did the prince also hire Miss Jiang for eighty taels after arriving in Weiyang?"
"No." Cheng Nianying said vaguely: "It's just... I owe him something."
"Then I wonder what it is that you owe? Is it serious? Can the Yin family pay it back for you?"
An idea popped up in Cheng Nianying's mind - I can't find someone who looks like me for Fu Yi, right?
One replaces another, isn't it endless?
She choked at the image she imagined, then shook her head silently.
"So, after Miss Jiang sends us away, where are you going? You can't be a killer forever. It's too dangerous and too hard." Yin Huiyi paused. "Have you ever thought about changing your name, settling down somewhere else, and living a prosperous and peaceful life?"
Cheng Nianying vaguely recognized the words and couldn't help but look up at him.
"The Yin family can prepare everything the young lady needs," he said.
"The house, the gold, the servants... these are nothing to the Yin family. But the girl is alone, and setting up a household on her own will inevitably attract some covetousness. I think it would be best if she registered under the name of a wealthy family. As for where to settle down, it depends on where the girl likes."
Cheng Nianying's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this.
But... could the noble be so generous?
She hesitated and said, "Yin Heng has already given me the eighty taels."
"Yes, I just said that, how can eighty taels be enough?"
Cheng Nianying licked her lips, her chest feeling slightly warm. Is this really okay?
But she had just seen the harsh world at Fu Yi's place...Now she doesn't really trust people who are gentle from the beginning.
But she refused immediately, but she couldn't bear to leave. She said, "I have to go to Heqing first."
"He Qing?"
"Well, go do some work."
"There's a big family called Pei in Heqing, and the Yin family has some connections with them. If you want to go, I'll send someone to take you there."
Pei!
Chu Zhen mentioned to her that her sister and her family lived in Heqing Pei's house.
While talking.
It's dawn.
The city gate was pushed open with a heavy sound.
Cheng Nianying immediately turned around to support Yin Ping and the others.
Yin Huiyi, worthy of his age, was a seasoned veteran. He looked at his son helplessly and said softly, "It's clearly something that Prince Danshuo didn't get."
But if even someone like Fu Yi can't get it, then it must be great.
How could this matter go exactly as Fu Yi wanted?
He came to rob it on behalf of Yin Heng.
Soon, the city gate was fully opened.
They left the city in two groups and just passed by the soldiers who were rushing towards them.
Just as the soldiers rushed into the city, they vaguely heard the roar of the city gate closing.
