They soon arrived at the next destination. The emperor felt that this place was also a place where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he thought there was nothing to inspect.

But Zhao Ji keenly noticed some problems.

"Master, don't you think the eyes of the pedestrians on the road are a little evasive? Many of them seem to be looking at us secretly? Is it because our clothes are different?"

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the people passing by.

After Zhao Ji's reminder, the emperor also noticed the abnormality of these people.

Looking closely, it seemed as if everyone was really looking at us.

After really discovering this matter, the emperor felt horrified.

"Why are they always looking at us?" The emperor frowned and moved closer to Zhao Ji.

"I'm afraid it's not our problem, it's theirs." Zhao Ji guessed what was going on after a quick glance.

Just as the emperor was looking around, Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Wang Wanru beside him.

And Xiao Xiazi, who tried her best to reduce her presence next to Wang Wanru.

It seems that with these two people around, this southern tour won’t be too boring.

The emperor looked around, turned around and said, "Since there is something fishy going on in this town, let's stay here for a while and see what happens."

Although the two of them pretended to be nonchalant, some passers-by still stared at them stealthily.

The emperor was a little timid because he was always being looked at furtively.

"Have all my guards been arranged?" The emperor came close to Zhao Ji and whispered.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "Master Huang, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly. After all, we don't have the time to reminisce about the good old days!"

After hearing what Zhao Ji said, the emperor immediately remembered the hardships in the mines and shuddered as he thought about it.

"Okay, let's go to this inn first!" They found an inn at random.

I thought that after entering the inn, the feeling of being stared at would be much less, but I still felt this way. When I looked closely, I saw that the waiter next to us and the guests in the inn were also secretly glancing at Zhao Ji and the emperor.

The emperor hid slightly behind Zhao Ji, and after being glanced at by Zhao Ji, he smiled sullenly.

Zhao Jize ignored these people and went straight to the shopkeeper and asked for four upper rooms.

Xiao Xia Zi on the side was a little surprised. There were four of them and they asked for four rooms. That meant that Zhao Ji arranged for Xiao Xia Zi to rest in the upper room.

You have to know that with Xiao Xia Zi's humble status, she shouldn't have lived in such a place, but should have lived in a cheap big bunk bed.

The emperor was also surprised for a moment, but he soon didn't take it to heart. After all, it was just a small matter to him.

The rooms for four people are adjacent to each other.

This was an arrangement Zhao Ji specifically requested, so that they could help each other if anything happened.

After all, such a strange situation in this town makes people have to be vigilant.

After settling down for a while, Zhao Ji came to the emperor's room, originally wanting to have a private chat with the emperor.

As soon as he came in, he saw Wang Wanru in the emperor's room. Zhao Ji was slightly stunned when he saw it, and then pretended not to see it and walked in.

As long as Zhao Ji is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

The most embarrassed person in the room now is the emperor. Originally, he and Wang Wanru had no plan to do anything but just have a serious chat.

As a result, after Zhao Ji came in, the atmosphere became awkward.

"I have some personal matters to discuss with you, young master. I'm afraid it's not convenient for Miss Wang to be around, so Miss Wang, could you please step aside for a while?"

Zhao Ji almost called her name, but there was nothing he could do. Strictly speaking, in this situation, when Zhao Ji came, Miss Wang should have left.

As a result, Zhao Ji had been in the room for most of the day, but Wang Wanru was just sitting there drinking tea, looking like she didn't want to leave.

This left Zhao Ji with no choice but to make it clear.

"Well, since you have something to say, I will take my leave first..."

No matter how thick-skinned Wang Wanru was, she couldn't resist Zhao Ji's open play.

As soon as she left, Zhao Ji said to the emperor: "No matter what food is sent to this inn tonight, don't eat it yet!"

The emperor was shocked when he saw the serious look on Zhao Ji's face. He obviously hadn't figured out the current situation yet.

"What? We can't even eat. Could it be that someone is trying to poison us? We haven't offended anyone here. Could this be a shady shop?"

As the emperor said this, his eyes secretly looked outside.

It was obvious that the emperor, who had no experience in the martial arts world, was somewhat helpless in the face of this situation.

"Since entering this town, all kinds of things have been very strange, including this inn, which seems to be strange everywhere. It is not impossible that they have tampered with the food they served tonight. I am not saying that they will definitely do that, but we should be careful!"

Zhao Ji broke the painting into pieces and poured it into the emperor's head. The emperor then nodded, but the panic on his face still did not disappear.

"If this is really the case, then let's go first and let the guards come and investigate the weirdness of this town!"

The emperor muttered these words quietly.

Zhao Ji heard this and looked at the emperor with a half-smile: "Your Majesty was planning to go on a southern tour, why do you act like it's none of your business? Aren't the people here your subjects?"

After hearing what Zhao Ji said, the emperor stopped talking for a moment.

As expected, the inn served a rich meal that night, including meat, vegetables and soup. It looked especially delicious and smelled very sweet.

Zhao Ji picked up the food twice with his chopsticks. The food looked very delicious, but Zhao Ji only picked it up twice.

However, Zhao Ji was also smart and took some food from inside and put it into the spittoon.

Then he asked the waiter to come in and clean up the food.

The emperor on the other side didn't move or touch anything because he was afraid. When the waiter came to collect the food, he asked the emperor puzzledly why he didn't eat.

The emperor forced an ugly smile and said, "I don't have much appetite today. I just want to rest early. Please prepare some bath water for me!"

Although the waiter thought this customer was a little strange, he didn't say anything. He took the untouched food out and asked the kitchen to boil water.

Zhao Ji only told the emperor about this matter, so Xiao Xia Zi and Wang Wanru still had the meal.

In fact, he arranged it this way on purpose, firstly to see whether the food was poisonous or not, and secondly to see the conditions of Wang Wanru and Xiao Xiazi.

The emperor was very nervous and tossed and turned in bed most of the night, unable to sleep because of hunger.

The emperor was so hungry, and remembered the hardships he had endured in the mine. After thinking for a moment, he finally got up and went to find Zhao Ji.
