As he spoke, he took the pastry in front of him and started stuffing it into his mouth. Rong Zhen looked at Gu Yunru's gradually bloated and fat body, and shook his head helplessly. Gu Yunru looked at him with a hint of disgust on her face, and swallowed the pastry into her stomach in an instant.

"Do you dislike the fact that I'm fat? Tell me, do you dislike me?" Gu Yunru couldn't help but pull his arm and asked aggressively.

Shu'er quickly stood in front of the two and said, "Okay, okay, Aunt Yunru, Brother Rong just said a few words casually, you must not take it to heart. He just said a few words casually."

"He must have disliked me for a long time. Maybe he wants to find someone with a good figure and who eats less!" Gu Yunru muttered as she took another piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhuge Jinyu watched the two of them talking and laughing along the way, and felt a little envious of them. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Where's Wu Liang? Didn't you say they came out with you?"

Gu Yunru suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she always felt that someone was missing. It turned out that she had left Wu Liang behind. At the same time, Wu Liang was looking for the two people on the road not far away. He got separated from the two people because he was watching a monkey show.

I asked along the way to find out where the two people had gone, but I didn't expect that they were tricked into a nearby mountain valley. It would probably be difficult for them to get out now.

She pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "We got separated, but Brother Wu is so smart, he will definitely be able to find us." After saying that, she winked at Rong Zhen. She blamed him for not reminding her in time on the road just now, otherwise it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

"Forget it. The most important thing now is to find the emperor and Nangong. I don't know how they are doing now." Thinking of how the two of them resolutely jumped off the painting boat to commit suicide for love, I don't know how they are doing now, and whether their lives are in danger.

Gu Yunru touched his chin and looked at Zhuge Heshu in front of him. "The lake water goes all the way to Gaolan County, which is not far from us. Let's look downstream. Maybe Wei Shang has also led his troops to look downstream."

Rong Zhen nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. We must get ahead of the palace team, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Everyone agreed immediately and left the inn at dawn the next day.

At the same time, the killers pretending to be ordinary people had begun searching for the whereabouts of Yuan Ming and Nangong in the surrounding villages, asking from house to house with their portraits.

When they arrived at the door of an auntie, the auntie frowned and said, "These two young people look familiar, aren't they the new guests of Old Li's family?!"

Upon hearing this, the two assassins quickly took out some small change and put it in the aunt's hand, "Aunt, could you please tell me in detail where the old Li family is? Can you point me in the right direction?"

She thought about it carefully, looked at the two people in front of her and said, "But I don't recognize you, what are you looking for them for?" The aunt was still very vigilant, so the two took out some silver and said, "They are our family members, and we are looking for them everywhere."

"So that's how it is. Just walk up the mountain and turn right. You'll arrive after passing two houses."

"Thank you for your help."

The two killers looked at each other, then turned around and quickly killed the aunt. The aunt fell in a pool of blood without even having time to breathe.

Not long after the two killers left, Rong Zhen, Gu Yunru, Zhuge and others rushed to the vicinity of the village, only to find that the aunt had fallen in a pool of blood. Gu Yunru walked up to her and put his finger on her breath. The body temperature was not completely gone yet, and it seemed that she had died not long ago.

"This method is extremely skillful. It seems that this is a professionally trained killer." Gu Yunru could tell at a glance how much pain the aunt was in before she died. Shu'er took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the gang has already found us. We have to hurry up and get ahead of them."

"That's right, let's follow the footprints." Zhuge Jinyu suggested that everyone thought of a plan, so they followed the footsteps and began to walk downstream. Sure enough, they saw a big fire in a nearby house. When Gu Yunru saw this, he immediately took a wooden bucket to the creek and fetched a few buckets of water before he put out the fire.

After the four people's unremitting efforts, the fire was finally put out. Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen rushed in quickly. They did not see Yuan Ming and Nangong Ruowei, but found a pot of freshly brewed tea here. Could it be that someone just came? "This tea was just brewed, too. What happened?" Gu Yunru was very confused. There were no other bodies in the room. It seemed that they had evacuated before the killer came.

"It looks like someone has been here." Rong Zhen noticed something strange in the house, and at this moment, several men in black jumped out from the beams and stabbed at the few people with long swords in their hands. Rong Zhen grabbed Gu Yunru's hand and instantly blocked her in front of her. Due to the large amplitude of the movement, the wound he received a few days ago was torn open again.

"Ah..." Rong Zhen moaned in a low voice. With Zhuge Jinyu and Shu'er there, they quickly drove the black-clothed men out. But Zhuge Jinyu chased them for several kilometers, but he didn't expect that the black men were so skillful.

"Forget it, let's not chase them, lest we fall into someone else's trap." Zhuge Jinyu held Shu'er's hand and said, "Okay, then let's go back quickly."

When they returned to the hut, they found no trace of other people. Although some things were damaged by the fire, they still retained their original appearance.

"Could this be the place where they lived before?" Gu Yunru expressed her doubts while bandaging Rong Zhen's wound. Looking at his frowning face, she sat aside and asked, "How is it? Does it hurt?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, you won't die."

"I was just saying. You really scared me to death just now." Gu Yunru stroked his shoulder. At this time, Zhuge and Shu'er had returned. Seeing that they returned empty-handed, it seemed that they did not find the whereabouts of those men in black.

At this moment, Yuan Ming and Nangong Ruowei walked in side by side. It turned out that they took baskets to the mountain and picked some mushrooms and firewood, so they did not come back. Unexpectedly, when they came back, they saw the mess outside the yard, and there were several uninvited guests in the house.
