"What! You've killed someone before." Shu'er looked at her curiously as if she had heard some explosive news.
"But the person I killed was a corrupt official, who committed heinous crimes. He had been plundering the people's wealth for years and raping women. He deserved death. I was just getting rid of the evil for the people, but I was accused of framing an official appointed by the court."
When Han Suche thought of this, the anger on his face became serious and the tears in his eyes faded away.
Gu Yunru didn't know why she suddenly felt distressed.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. I don't have anything to give you. Let's say goodbye when we get to the town ahead. You can go there and do some legitimate work. There's no war or corrupt officials there. It's just a little poor."
Walk another three kilometers and you will reach a civilian town bordering a foreign country. This town is relatively backward and generally doesn't cause any trouble, so it would be best to say goodbye there.
Han Suche looked at the attire of the men and knew at first glance that they were from wealthy and powerful families of Da Qi. Especially the piece of Hetian jade around the man's waist. The color was rich and crystal clear, and it was probably worth a lot of silver. Seeing this, he began to make calculations in his mind.
"Please, kind-hearted man, please take me with you. I don't want to go back. I will go wherever you go. I will serve you like a slave. Just please don't leave me behind." Han Suche's eyes were filled with tears. His sincere tone made Gu Yunru feel sad. He looked at Shu'er who was driving the horse. The two of them exchanged glances to decide whether to let him stay.
The carriage has arrived at the main street of this civilian town. You can see an endless stream of vendors shouting desperately. There are relatively few people here, but there are many people doing business, because there are often merchants passing by here who need to go to Da Qi. They may come from Persia or from the border.
"Although this place is a bit poor, at least there is an inn." Han Suche pulled the horse and looked very skilled at his work. Rong Zhen stared at him intently. Han Suche followed behind everyone respectfully like a servant.
Han Suche supported Rong Zhen and went to the inn to ask for a room. Gu Yunru looked at Shu'er's serious expression and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Are you doubting Han Suche's identity?"
Shu'er pulled Gu Yunru's arm and said suspiciously, "Of course I doubt his identity. He suddenly appeared and shamelessly followed us. Don't forget that he is the one who stole your purse and wanted to steal my Chidian. I guess he has his eyes on something again, so he shamelessly stays with us. We have to be on guard against this person."
Shu'er thought that keeping Han Su Che by her side was like leaving an invisible bomb behind, and she didn't know when it would explode. It was too dangerous to take her along.
"That makes sense. Let's just wait and see what happens. After all, he's quite pitiful."
Gu Yunru didn't want to drive them away so openly as to seem too cold-blooded, so she asked for three rooms, one for Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru, one for Shu'er, and one for Han Suche alone.
When the rooms were divided, Han Suche was extremely surprised, because Gu Yunru was dressed as a man, and she thought there was some unspeakable secret between him and the young master. After careful inquiry, she found out that she and Shu'er were actually girls! As the sun set, the number of people on the street gradually decreased. Han Suche was tired after working hard for others all day, and wanted to lie down on the bed to have a good rest, but suddenly she heard a strong wind blowing at the door, and she immediately jumped up from the bed in shock.
"who!"
Han Suche shouted cleverly. She had not had a good night's sleep since she was sold, and the shadow in her heart has not disappeared until now.
"It's me."
A man wearing a black cape and a silver mask, holding a sword, walked in. It was the assassin leader. Why did he follow here? Han Suche looked at him warily, pointed at his nose and said, "Don't come over here again. If you come over again, I will call for help!"
For some reason, ever since they met in the grove, this man was always nowhere to be seen, but sometimes he would suddenly appear, as if he knew where she was.
"Tell me, did you know I was here because you followed me all the way?" Han Suche was alert, but he couldn't see the man's expression, so he could only guess.
"I didn't follow you, but I helped you kill your relatives, and you ran away without even saying thank you. I've never met anyone like you." The man's voice was low, hoarse, and full of magnetic charm, but at this moment, Han Suche's heart was pounding when he heard it. Did this man have to remind him?
"If you just want to say thank you, that's very simple. Can't I just say it directly?" Han Suche got out of the bed reluctantly, thinking that this man would not hurt him in the short term.
"Thank you, that's enough. And why do you always follow me? There is no grudge between us. Besides, I don't know you." Han Suche was telling the truth. The man still stood there motionless, like a paper man, which scared people.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you're interested in learning martial arts from me?"
"Martial arts? Forget it. I know nothing about that. It's better for me to learn more about the technical skills at hand so that I won't starve to death in the future war."
As he spoke, he snorted lazily and touched his stomach. He had not been hungry since he set out with a group of mysterious people. He could also have food to eat by following this group of people, so why not?

As for the man in black, she didn't even know his ID card, so how could she blindly become his disciple and learn from him?
"You've decided not to go with me, haven't you?"
The man in black's tone seemed to contain a warning. Han Suche refused to give in and said, "Yes, I won't go with you. How many times do you want me to say it?"
After saying that, she winked at him. When she heard footsteps coming from the door, she quickly opened the window and said, "Go away quickly. If others know that I am with you, they will definitely doubt my identity!"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It was Shu'er who opened the door. Seeing that the room was empty, she was still sitting on the chair and talking to herself, no one knew what she was saying.
"Ms. Han, it's so late and you're still awake? Who are you talking to?" Shu'er looked around the room curiously and didn't see any extra people. It was just interesting to see her holding the teapot and talking to herself.
"I'm drinking tea and reciting poetry. What's wrong? Miss Shu'er, are you interested in joining me?" Han Suche raised his eyebrows at her and generously invited her to join.
