"The Lord wants to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief, but with a little trepidation in his heart, he changed into plain clothes and followed the team to a mansion.

Huang Li lowered her head tightly. When she arrived at this mansion, she had been blindfolded and could not see the road ahead. However, she could feel that the bluestone bricks underneath were the best in the city, which showed that the person was either rich or noble.

"You all should leave and leave her here alone."

"yes."

Hearing the voice of the maid behind her, she slowly took down the white cloth in front of her. Unexpectedly, it was Sima Bo. Young Master Sima and her young lady have always been sworn enemies. At the last tea picking party, Young Master Sima returned home disappointed. He must have hated the young lady very much. Would he use her to vent his anger again?

"Master Sima, why did you call me here?" Huang Li was so nervous that even her voice was trembling. Sima Bo was extremely fierce and ruthless. If he saw a man who was more handsome than him on the street, he would send people to cut his face and drive him out of the city. Although this incident was just a legend, how could what he did be foolproof?

There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Huang Li's heart trembled as she looked at him, fearing that something bad might happen to her. Sima Bo helped her up with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze. "Thank you for your hard work. According to my investigation, Lord Yan's death has nothing to do with you."

Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Sima Bo's greedy eyes, she felt even more anxious and uneasy.

"Thank you, sir, for clearing my name. I am willing to work like a slave for you." Huang Li looked at Sima Bo's ambiguous eyes and knew what he was thinking. It would be better to please him so that she could protect herself and leave this place after getting the pass.

"I heard that you betrayed your master?" Sima Bo looked at her with amusement. This little face was somewhat similar to Nangong Ruowei, but it was a pity that there was no good part of her. Even if there was a piece of fat meat, it was disfigured and he had no intention of eating it.

"Sir, don't listen to what others say. Huang Li is loyal to his young lady." She lowered her head humbly, vowing to defend the young lady's dignity to the death, but her behavior looked absurd in Sima Bo's eyes.

"Come on, there's no need to pretend in front of me. There is no one in this world who doesn't think about himself. But if you are willing to tell me where my young lady is, I will give you the pass disc."

"What..." Huang Li was surprised. Why did Sima Bo know what she wanted from Yan Bing? It turned out that everyone under him had already found out.

"Sir, you are truly a master at foresight. I am ashamed of myself."

Huang Li lowered his head alertly, and sure enough, he saw the servant beside him take out the disc.

Sima Bo waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. Sima Bo and Huang Li were the only ones left in the room. The atmosphere was very ambiguous, which made Huang Li feel a little uncomfortable. Sima Bo had some lustful thoughts about Huang Li, but he couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw her.

"Why do I feel that you and your young lady look so similar? Even though not 80%, you're still 30% similar."

Sima Bo wanted to reach out and touch her pretty face, but seeing the hostility in his eyes, he retracted his hand. "Although I don't know what you want Wen Die to do, if you can bring Nangong Ruowei to me, I will definitely reward you."

"Sir, that's easy for you to say. Miss Nangong has already figured out my plan. But given Miss Nangong's temper, she will definitely go and make suggestions to the Emperor. If you arrange your troops in advance and keep track of any movements in the palace, you will definitely be able to take him down."

Sima Bo nodded in sudden realization, clapped his hands in admiration, and said, "Ms. Huangli is really smart. In this case, please stay at home and take good care of your injuries. When I get Miss Nangong, I will naturally give you the document."

After saying that, he strode out with his head held high.

At this moment, Huangli showed a hint of sarcasm in his smile, but he quickly hid it deep in his heart.

The scene changed, Gu Yunru followed Wu Liang back to an inn. The owner of the inn was also a Zoroastrian, but there were no traces of flames on their arms. Recently, everyone has been checking whether there are pedestrians with brands on their arms, which is very dangerous.

"Why don't we think of a way to remove this mark, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to go out." Gu Yunru held a cup of tea and looked at the faces of the old doctor and Wu Liang. There didn't seem to be any indication of whether they could go out or not.

"Hey, it's okay if this old doctor doesn't go out, but aren't you going to meet the city lord? I still haven't seen what the city lord looks like." Gu Yunru pursed his lips and took a sip of tea. He was very interested in the city lord of Tao City. He sounded like he was in his seventies or eighties. In addition, he had a good relationship with the old doctor, so he naturally brought him into the ranks of the sixty-year-old.

“Here I come.”

Wu Liang suddenly said something that she was not mentally prepared for. Gu Yunru quickly brightened and widened her eyes, staring at the movement at the door. Time passed by minute by minute, but still no footsteps were heard.

"Sir, your face is here!"

It turned out that it was the waiter who brought the noodles. Gu Yunru looked at Wu Liang with embarrassment. This guy's nose was even sharper than that of a dog.

"Waiter, why are there no green onions in this noodles?" Gu Yunru likes to eat noodles with green onions, otherwise it is really hard to swallow.

The waiter smiled cleverly and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. This Taocheng doesn't produce chives, and no one has the habit of eating chives."

"I see." Gu Yunru nodded, and the waiter left, but she seemed to have eaten something hard, so she quickly spit it out. It turned out to be a fruit shell with a note wrapped inside. Gu Yunru was shocked by this operation. What if she swallowed it carelessly?

"Let me see it quickly." Wu Liang seemed particularly excited. He took the note, his hands shaking all the time. "The city lord will come over tonight at midnight. Let's make some preparations." Gu Yunru held her cheek with one hand and muttered, "Aren't you going to help me find someone? What do you want to see this city lord for?"

"I have something important to give him, but the old doctor and I have to go to an important place tonight, so please give him the thing in this cloth bag."

"Why me again?" Gu Yunru hated being a go-between, but the old doctor looked cheerful. He seemed to have noticed Gu Yunru's displeasure and was mocking her.
