The next morning.
Seeing that Yi Yao was no longer seriously injured, everyone said goodbye to the farmer's house where they were staying and headed towards Changshui City together.
"Sure enough, there are guards at the city gate checking the pedestrians and carriages passing by."
Following the direction Jiang Zhong pointed, Jiang Li saw a long queue at the gate of Changshui City.
"Could it be..." Yi Yao shuddered, fearing that the county magistrate wanted to arrest her.
Jiang Li comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, even your father won't recognize you."
Yi Yao was stunned for a moment, then she saw Jiang Li take out a green porcelain bottle from his sleeve and chuckled, "This is the unique secret technique of my genius doctor Jiang. Miss, would you like to have one?"
Taking out a disguise pill and placing it in Yi Yao's hand, Jiang Li's eyes were deep and gloomy. "After entering the city, no matter what happens, Yao, you must not act impulsively. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yao glanced at the people in the carriage, her heart warmed, and she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely... be obedient."

"Stop, stop, stop! Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in Changshui City?"
As soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, the guards came forward and questioned them.
Bai Zhi got out of the car and bowed. "Greetings, gentlemen. We are traveling from Fu'an Prefecture to Mihe for business. We are passing through Changshui and need to stay here for a few days. The people in the car are our hosts."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi handed the silver and money she had prepared in advance to the leading guard, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. Since we have female relatives accompanying us on this trip, I hope you will give us some convenience."
"Hmph! You're quite sensible." The guard weighed the silver and stuffed it into his arms. "Lift the curtain and let us take a look."
"Sir..." Bai Zhi showed an embarrassed expression, "There are women in the car, this..."
"So what if they're women? There's nothing shameful about it, right? Get out of the way!"
The guard waved his hand, and the guard next to him holding a portrait prepared to force his way forward.
"Baizhi, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zhong quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage. The leading guard looked inside and saw two men and two women sitting in the carriage, who looked like two couples.
But when he looked at the two women inside, the man sitting on the left stared at him with a serious expression, which made the guard feel inexplicably scared.
"To reply to the Second Master, the officials said they want to check the carriage."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong got off the carriage, bowed, and said with a smile, "Since Your Excellency wants to investigate, then we will investigate. Your Excellency, our carriage is not very big, and my wife has caught a cold from all the traveling lately. If there is nothing else, I hope Your Excellency will do us a favor and let us go into the city to rest for a few days."
After saying that, he took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into the guard's chest.
The guard frowned and glanced inside the car a few more times. Seeing the people around him shook their heads, indicating that the two women inside were not the ones in the portraits, he waved his hand and said, "Let them pass!"
After everyone found an inn to stay in, Jiang Li immediately drove Gu Qingchen away, saying that since there was something wrong with the county magistrate, Gu Qingchen had to go and meet the mayor of Changshui City to see what was going on.
As for her...she was responsible for taking the others to the street to see if they could find out some news about the First Village.
"What's wrong?"
Before they had taken a few steps, Jiang Li clearly felt Yi Yao pause.
Pointing to the people in the shop ahead, he said, "It's the eldest brother and his group."
Looking over, I saw several men and women in similar clothes, all holding a lot of items in their hands, and it looked like they were going down the mountain to purchase something.
"Are they any different from before?"
Yi Yao shook her head, "I don't know..."
Before he could finish his words, the leading man grabbed the rice shop owner by the back of his collar and shoved him towards the rice bag, howling, "You old man, do you know how to do business? What do you mean by no bargains? I'm telling you, we want all the rice in your shop today, and the price is what we say. Do you understand?"
"I understand..."
The boss was over fifty years old and could not stand such intimidation, so he agreed with trembling hands.
"Your senior brother is quite interesting. He could have just robbed the items, but he chose to bargain with others." Jiang Li looked at the group of people coldly and immediately felt annoyed.
Yi Yao unconsciously took a few steps back, her eyes reddened. "How could this happen... Senior Brother, he's the most humble and polite. My father used to always laugh at him, saying that he looked more like a scholar than a swordsman."
"It seems..." Jiang Li frowned as he looked at the group of people cursing as they walked away. He already had a rough guess about the current situation of the No. 1 Manor in the World.
"Look, sister."
Jiang Zhong took out a notice from somewhere.
Jiang Li took a look at it and said, "A sect meeting will be held at the No. 1 Village in the World."
"Impossible!" Yi Yao heard this and took a closer look. "Since my father became the owner of the manor, the First Manor has gradually declined. How could they hold a sect meeting?"
"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."
Seeing that the date written on it was tomorrow, Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "It's just right, let's take this opportunity to find out."
There was no time to return to the inn, so Jiang Li asked Bai Zhi to take care of Yi Yao in the inn and wait for Gu Qingchen to come back and inform him.
Afterwards, he took Mo Qi and Jiang Chong to find a clothing store. After dressing up a little, the three of them went straight to Yang'an Mountain.
"Wow, sister, look, there are a lot of people in front!"
Yang'an Mountain is not far from Changshui City. You need to exit from the west gate of Changshui City and walk less than ten miles to reach the foot of the mountain.
As a defensive mountain, Yang'an Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, even though the No. 1 Village in the World has gradually declined in recent years, no one dares to go there to provoke it easily.
As they walked up the mountain, the three of them saw people wearing clothes from different sects, all heading in the same direction.
