Back at the inn, Jiang Wanwan greeted the waiter and the innkeeper who were sweeping the floor.
When the waiter saw Jiang Wanwan return, his eyes lit up. He quickly put down his work, walked to her side, and said with a low voice and a smile, "Madam, you're finally back! You have no idea how worried your husband was when he didn't see you at the inn. He kept asking me how many times I knew the location of Black Wind Stronghold. If you hadn't come back, he probably would have found Black Wind Stronghold overnight and wiped it out."
"My husband? Is he in a hurry?" Jiang Wanwan asked in confusion.
She had already left him a note, so how could he not have seen it? Otherwise, why would he be so worried about her? Jiang Wanwan muttered to herself.
"Your husband is very anxious, he's pacing around in circles." The waiter grinned and said, "Madam, please lead your horse to the back, and I'll open the back door for you right away."
After saying that, the waiter went back into the inn, and a short while later, he opened the back door of the inn.
After Jiang Wanwan drove the carriage into the stables in the backyard, the waiter looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Madam, didn't you go to fetch something? Where is it? Did you fail to fetch it?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded quickly and replied to the waiter, "Yes, yes, we rushed back as soon as we couldn't find the place."
“Madam, you did the right thing. If you can’t find the place, you should come back quickly to avoid failing to get back before sunset.” The waiter took the reins from Jiang Wanwan and tied the horse to the stable.
"Madam, will you need the carriage again tomorrow? If you will, I won't untie the cart yet."
Jiang Wanwan said with a smile, "Untie it. If you can't find the place, just don't go. I'm too lazy to make another trip tomorrow."
She bought up all the fish maw from Linhai Village, so there was no need for her to make another trip.
Besides, she had more important things to do in Anhuai County, and buying fish maw to increase her online store balance was just a side thing.
After thanking the waiter, Jiang Wanwan strode through the backyard and returned to the second floor of the inn.
"Squeak~"
Jiang Wanwan pushed open the door and immediately saw Qi Zhao.
Qi Zhao was sitting at the tea table, dozing off with one hand propping up his head. Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on the door. At the same time, his right hand grabbed the sword that was on the tea table.
Upon realizing it was Jiang Wanwan, his eyes instantly softened and became urgent.
Qi Zhao suddenly stood up and strode towards her, looking Jiang Wanwan up and down. He asked anxiously, "Where did you go? Are you hurt? Do you know how dangerous it is to go out alone? Do you know how rampant bandits are in Anhuai County? It's extremely dangerous for a young girl like you to go out like this!"
As he spoke, a surge of anger welled up in Qi Zhao's heart, and his voice involuntarily rose considerably.
He had kept watch at the residence of Deputy General Liu all night. When he returned to the inn early this morning, he found that Jiang Wanwan was not there. He was extremely worried, thinking that she had been captured by bandits.
Finally, he found a note she had left for him on the tea table, which confirmed that she had not been captured by bandits.
But he was still very worried about her going out alone as a young girl, fearing that she would be captured by bandits.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, I finally felt relieved after a long day of tension.
