Chapter 401 The Walking Silver Note
One of the soldiers shouted, and the other soldiers guarding the city also turned to look.
The soldier holding the portrait stared at Jiang Wan Ning for a long time.
Mo Mo and Mo Ran's hands were already reaching for the hilts of their swords at their waists, while Hai Tang took a small step forward to block Jiang Wan Ning.
Ah San huddled behind Jiang Wan Ning, crouching low and watching closely.
Several soldiers slowly walked towards this side, their hands beginning to reach towards their waists.
"Oh, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."
Someone helped Momo out of her predicament.
Mo Mo looked at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression. He didn't know this person.
Then the man smiled at the soldiers and said, "Sirs, I'm really sorry, these people are relatives of our master. They're here for the first time and don't know anything."
"Thank you for your trouble, officials."
As he spoke, he quietly took out a heavy bag of silver from his sleeve and carefully stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers.
The soldier weighed the silver in his hand, then sized up the men before him. "Who is your master?"
The man lightly patted his mouth, "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself to you gentlemen. I suppose you gentlemen are too busy to remember."
"My master owns the tavern at the east end of the city. A few officials came here for drinks a few days ago."
The man then pointed to a soldier behind him, "That officer even praised our wine for its delicious taste."
After thinking about it, the group realized that they had indeed been to the tavern in the east of the city a few days ago. The reason they remembered it so clearly was because they hadn't paid.
"This is my master's wife. She just came from her hometown and doesn't know anything. I hope you gentlemen will be lenient with her."
The man then pointed at Jiang Wanning.
The group looked at it for a moment, then looked at the portrait.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Go in."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. After you finish your duties, please come to our tavern and our proprietress and owner will personally entertain you."
After saying that, he shouted at Mo Mo, who was in the lead, "Hurry up and go inside."
The group said nothing and followed the man into the city. When they reached a small alley, Mo Ran held a sword to the man's neck and said, "Speak, who sent you?"
The man seemed to have expected this, asking, "Are you here to rescue the Queen?"
Mo Ran became more wary, bringing her sword an inch closer to the man's neck. "Speak quickly!"
The man raised his hands, "Please, brother, I went to great lengths to let you in because I wanted to help you."
"If I hadn't been trying to help you, I would have just gone to Gaomi directly and gotten a good reward."
The man pointed to a notice not far away across the street. It had portraits of everyone except Momo and A-San, including Shaoyao and Moqing.
And each person had a bounty marked on their head.
Jiang Wan Ning was also the most numerous.
"It seems that they have investigated all the people around the Prince and Princess."
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the portraits and knew that Tuoba Wenjing would definitely have someone come, but she couldn't be sure who would come, so she drew portraits of the people she knew.
"If you're not brothers, you're walking banknotes now. You won't even get a place to stay."
"You just need to tell me who sent you," Jiang Wanning said coldly.
The man said solemnly, "My master said that the princess once saved his life, and this is his way of repaying her. As for anything else, I have nothing to say."
The man stopped talking after he finished speaking.
Tuoba Yan'er climbed out from a pile of goods on the oxcart. "Then stay at my house."
"I just don't understand why they had to hide it from me."
Everyone turned to look at the Indian man who had come up with the idea.
Ah San scratched his head. "Isn't it because your face is too eye-catching in Western Xia, Princess?"
Although your portrait wasn't on that notice, the soldier did have one.
Tuoba Yan'er jumped off the carriage, hastily brushing the dust off her clothes. "Let's go to my mother's residence."
“No,” Jiang Wan Ning said. “Tuoba Wen Jing will definitely have spies planted all around your residence.”
"Am I that stupid?" Tuoba Yan'er said. "I naturally have a way to get back. Just follow me."
Tuoba Yan'er walked along the alley, and the man stepped aside to let her pass. "Then I'll be going now."
Nobody paid any attention...
Tuoba Yan'er followed the alley, turning and twisting until she came to a wall. There was a pile of weeds next to the wall, and Tuoba Yan'er cleared the weeds away.
A dog hole, big enough for one person to crawl through, was revealed. Tuoba Yan'er gestured for them to go in, "Go in."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
“It’s not that a true man can bend and stretch. If you jump in, it will definitely attract attention. This is the best way.”
The group looked at each other, no one willing to climb in first. Finally, they all turned to Jiang Wan Ning, "Um...Your Highness, why don't you set an example first?"
Mo Mo said softly.
“If I close my eyes and you talk to me, I think I might be confused,” Jiang Wan Ning joked.
It has to be admitted that Mo Mo's voice is even more beautiful than Pei Yanchuan's; most women would fall for her just by hearing her voice.
"Then the little one should cover his head?"
Jiang Wan Ning...
"Oh dear, time waits for no one, you all need to hurry up," Tuoba Yan'er urged. "You're the mistress, you go first."
Jiang Wan Ning...
When faced with life-or-death situations, they always rush to the front. In this situation, it's really nothing for them to take the lead themselves.
Jiang Wan Ning comforted herself like this, took a deep breath, and crawled on the ground with her butt sticking out.
"I'm coming in, please come in quickly." Jiang Wanning patted the dirt off her clothes.
Then there was a sudden noise from the side, and they noticed there was a hidden door. Tuoba Yan'er led a group of people in through the door.
Jiang Wan Ning...
"Let's go, let's go." Tuoba Yan'er turned around and quickened her pace to slip away. The others followed behind, looking like thieves who had been caught, and ran with their heads down in small steps.
Jiang Wan Ning sighed helplessly and chased after them. Fortunately, only a few people knew about it.
There's no record of it, otherwise I would have been really embarrassed.
They entered a deserted courtyard. Tuoba Yan'er led the group through the courtyard, turning left and right. "This abandoned house used to be the residence of a minister from the previous dynasty."
"It's right next to our princess's residence, so no one will notice if we go in from here."
His mother had already bought the house and dug a secret passage from underground to connect the two mansions.
The group followed the secret passage to the princess's residence. As soon as they came out, they saw a woman standing imposingly at the entrance of the secret room.
He was followed by a group of guards.
Mo Ran and the others immediately gripped the swords at their waists.
"mother!"
Tuoba Yan'er shouted and rushed towards the woman with her arms outstretched.
