Rong Zhen sat up and coughed, then looked at the two of them. They suddenly smiled at each other.
As soon as the sky cleared up, the three of them continued on their journey. Gu Yunru touched the silver bag on her body, but she didn't know when it was stolen by someone else. "Oh, oh no, it must have been taken away by a pickpocket when I was having breakfast this morning."
"What is a pickpocket?" Shu'er sat on the horse's back, looking at Gu Yunru's reaction curiously.
"It was three hands that stole my things. Now I have to rely on the money to buy things." Gu Yunru gritted her teeth. These three hands really deserved to be damned. If she met them again in the future, she would definitely not be polite to them.
"It's useless to ask for this money. The currencies of foreign countries and Da Qi are different. We will arrive in foreign countries in two days. We can't spend this money. We may be caught as spies. The relationship between foreign countries and Da Qi has been tense recently, and all the envoys from various countries who came to negotiate peace have been expelled."
Rong Zhen narrated all this calmly and carefully. The two of them simultaneously looked at his face in surprise. "But how did you know this, sir?" Shu'er looked into his eyes with admiration.
"The bandits near this suburban county usually only come out to take advantage of the situation when the two countries go to war. Otherwise, this place will be strictly guarded by the soldiers and will not allow the enemy's forces to flood into the city. Now there is a big chaos, which means that the two countries have begun to deploy military defenses. We have to reach the foreign country quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with if we run into people in the military camp."
Gu Yunru was dumbfounded when he heard this. Rong Zhen was indeed Rong Zhen, he had not changed at all. Although he looked sickly and frail now, his thinking ability was still beyond that of ordinary people. Even if he could no longer lead troops to the battlefield, he could still be a military general.
"Okay, stop talking so much, let's leave quickly." As Gu Yunru said this, he quickly rode his horse away from the vicinity of the tavern.
On the other side, a person wearing a green cloth shirt and a melon-shaped hat, who could not be identified as a man or a woman, was walking on the path in the woods, holding the warm silver that she had just stolen from Gu Yunru. She weighed it in her palm, but unexpectedly, she was spotted by several bandits nearby, who followed her here.
"What are you doing?" Han Suche looked at the seven people with a wary look on his face. They looked ferocious and had weapons in their hands. It was obvious that they were not people to be trifled with.
"Everyone who sees you gets a share. Where did the money come from? You don't need us to tell you, right?"
A few guys were also thieves. When they saw the silver bag in Han Suche's hand, they followed him all the way here just to get a share from him.
"You want the money I stole? Dream on!" Han Suche took out a pack of knockout cigarettes from his bag and threw them at everyone, trying to take the opportunity to escape. However, before he had run half a mile, he was suddenly tracked by a black man and slapped against a tree.
"Ah..." Han Suche felt his internal organs tremble. He didn't expect that this person was the leader of the assassins.
This place borders a foreign country, and all kinds of people gather here. The man in a black cloak and a mask is more powerful than these thieves, so he has to obey the orders of whoever has better martial arts skills.
"I have no grudge against you, why did you follow me?!" Han Suche asked with a look of dissatisfaction. The man stretched out his hand, and the meaning was very clear. Han Suche could only give in temporarily and put the purse in his hand. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it off unwillingly.
"I have already given you the money, can you please let me go?" Han Suche looked at the assassin leader with an uneasy face. This guy has always been elusive and no one has seen his true face, especially the flowing sword in his hand, which is said to have killed tens of thousands of people.
He traveled far and wide, roaming across the borders of various countries, and would kill people at will as long as the other party offered a high price.
"I have already taken the money. I can help you kill someone." The assassin leader did not seem as overbearing and tyrannical as she had imagined. She did not expect that he would be so generous and willing to help her kill someone.
"Okay, I just happen to have someone I hate so much." Han Suche clenched his fists angrily and took him to a small place in the south, where her third uncle and aunt lived. She was raised by these two people since she was a child, but she suffered a lot. Her third uncle and aunt either beat or scolded her, and they wanted to sell her to a brothel.
"I never kill people who don't know martial arts." The assassin leader's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of charm, which made people want to study where this charm came from.
"My third uncle is not as simple as he seems. He used to do hard labor and was an executioner, so he has some martial arts skills. Besides, you can kill whoever you want, right? Since you have taken my money, help me kill him." Han Suche stood on a small hill and pointed to a corner of the village.
"good."
The man flew directly down the mountain, and Han Suche quickly found an opportunity to slip away. In the afternoon, Han Suche was already starving, and suddenly saw a carriage parked near the lawn. The carriage seemed very luxurious, and the wheels were not made of ordinary wood.
Especially the horse, whose hair was shiny black and translucent. It was not an ordinary horse. This kind of horse should be raised by the palace, but it was very valuable. If this horse was taken away, it would definitely be exchanged for a lot of money! "Yunru, I found some fruits nearby. I don't know if they are poisonous. Take a look." Shu'er climbed halfway up the mountain and brought back a bundle of fruits. It was a good harvest.
"Okay." Gu Yunru took off the silver hairpin on her head and checked whether these fruits were poisonous. Some of the fruits are hard to see in modern times. After thousands of years of changes, some fruits may have different shapes, but Gu Yunru still felt that they looked familiar.

"Don't eat the red ones, and give the white ones to the horses." Gu Yunru had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard a whoosh. The horse was actually ridden away by someone.
"Who is so bold as to steal our horses!" Shu'er was so angry that she jumped up and down and wanted to chase after him, but Gu Yunru quickly grabbed her hand.
"That horse is not an ordinary horse, it's Chi Dian." Gu Yunru smiled proudly, while Han Suche on the other side was feeling proud, but he didn't expect that the horse would suddenly turn back halfway through the run.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? I told you to run north, why are you running west now?!" Han Suche tried to communicate with the horse, but unexpectedly the horse ran back with its head held high and chest puffed out, and brought her directly to the owner of the carriage.
Rong Zhen sat under the shade of a tree, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, while Shu'er stood beside Gu Yunru, looking as if she was watching a good show.
