Chapter 304 Crisis 4 lurks
"Oh, you guys are still awake? I was just afraid of disturbing you, so I asked the waiter to light some mosquito repellent incense for you."
"Boss, it seems the mosquitoes weren't driven away and have driven us away!"
"What are you saying? Our shop is honest and fair to all, young and old. Do we look like a shady business?"
"It doesn't look like it at first glance, but it feels like it once you live there!"
Wu Ziyan tugged at Chu Qiu's sleeve, and Chu Qiu put a knife to the boss's neck.
As expected, he wasn't a brave person; upon seeing the knife, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
"Heroine, have mercy! We know nothing!"
Their intelligence is also somewhat worrying; they said they didn't know anything before they even asked.
Wu Ziyan reached out and patted her cheek: "Then boss, just tell me what you know."
"Is this a remote town in Wei'an County?"
"Logically speaking, even half of it should be under the jurisdiction of the neighboring state or county. Whose hand can extend so far?"
The two remained silent, their eyes darting away.
Chu Qiu pressed his sword down again, and the two of them waved their hands repeatedly.
"We've also heard that your caravans are particularly wealthy."
"I was so blinded by greed that I thought of drugging you and taking your money!"
"And who told you that our caravan is rich?"
They dared not speak, but if they didn't, they felt that Chu Qiu's knife would really pierce their skin!
"It's Lady Lü, the mistress of Wei'an County! It's her; almost everyone in Zhou County reveres her as their master."
"Lu Xianjun? That's a strange name. Is it his nickname or his real name?"
"I have no idea about that. I only know that everyone calls her the Immortal Lord, but we've never seen her before!"
Xiao Yun'er didn't mention this person in the intelligence report, so he must be someone important.
Before, I never left the capital city. I never knew that once I went out to do business, I would find that these prefectures and counties were in such a chaotic state!
"So what was your original plan?"
The two exchanged another glance, wondering if the woman in front of them was guessing or genuinely clever.
How did they even know about their original plan?
But their plan had already failed in the womb, so they decided to keep quiet rather than reveal it.
But the other two men looked good, but they were quite ruthless!
His arm felt like it was being clamped by iron clamps, with Changsun Boyou and Fang Yuerong each holding one side, their eyes smiling.
There's a kind of feeling where, without her saying a word, you'll crush her shoulder.
"Ouch, it hurts! I told you! We were originally instructed to intercept you at the border."
"If you come to the store, we'll tamper with your food, but we still haven't succeeded, have we?"
"Hey, he's got malicious intentions, and now he thinks he's right!"
"So how do you communicate with that so-called immortal lord?"
"It's just a message sent by carrier pigeon, nothing special."
"Oh...then I'll trouble you to send her an urgent message via pigeon."
The letter said that several people met with misfortune upon entering the town, especially the short woman.
One of them, poisoned, is likely to die soon; two other people who look like foreigners are also seriously injured...
She had no choice but to pick up her pen and draft another letter, which she sent to her superiors that very night.
In order to get a good night's sleep, he had no choice but to tie up everyone in the shop.
They went back to their rooms, but didn't sleep until dawn. As soon as the rooster crowed outside, they all got up again.
Only Yue'er was confused; he was truly exhausted.
She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and when she woke up in the morning, she found that her young master was no longer in the room.
When I went downstairs, I found that they had already gathered in the hall and were surrounding several people who were tied up.
He squeezed next to Fang Yuerong: "Young Master, why are you up so early? What happened last night?"
"A few petty thieves tried to steal our goods, but we caught them red-handed."
"Oh……"
The letter had already been sent out, and after they left the town, the shop owner was still tied up in the shop.
It wasn't until other business people wanted to check into the hotel that they discovered they were tied up in the lobby.
However, the letter had already been sent by carrier pigeon, and Lord Lü would receive the news soon.
Sure enough, Lü Xianjun received the news in just half a day.
The more she looked at the information above, the more confused she became.
Could it be that besides their group, there are others targeting them?
And the description is so detailed: what short woman? That's the Fourth Prince!
Their target was Wu Ziyan, and after thinking about it, she realized that this would also be beneficial to her.
Even if she still comes to her Wei'an County alive, wouldn't she be able to easily take her head?
“Order those along the way to repeat themselves: do not interfere with those people.”
"If they really want to go to Xiaorong, the terrain is dangerous, but it's outside of Weian County."
"Go a little further into the valley, and we'll make sure they die there without anyone noticing!"
The servants received the order and drafted letters to be sent to various places.
Meanwhile, Lu Xianjun remained firmly in his high position, humming a little tune and drinking his wine in a nonchalant manner.
But she wasn't stupid; she still sent someone to verify the authenticity of the letter.
Anyway, she thought that no matter if it was true or false, once they got here, they would definitely not be able to leave!
As expected, Wu Ziyan and his group did not encounter any further danger along the way.
It can be said that even the fallen rocks and stagnant water on both sides of the road were cleared away, leaving it spotless.
The calmer it was, the more eerie it seemed to them.
Standing on that winding mountain road and looking into the distance, Wu Ziyan said.
"We'll probably reach the county town by tonight."
"The county town is so nice, with fine wine and delicious food." Qi Zexuan poked his head out of the carriage.
"And there are also assassins who kill, and gentle knives." Wu Ziyan turned around and smiled slightly.
Sure enough, by the time they reached the city gate, it was getting late and the gate was about to close.
But the soldiers above seemed to have spotted them and waved.
The people below the city stopped closing the city gates.
Someone whispered in the ear of the soldier above.
He pulled up the portrait and looked at Wen Die's description; it was the group of people he had been instructed to keep a close eye on.
In a city, the closing time is fixed, so the gates were open as long as they hadn't entered.
Wu Ziyan and Qi Zeyun exchanged glances, staring at the dark city gate as if it contained some abyss.
"Let's go. We'll have to go in sooner or later. I want to see what I'm capable of, that Immortal Lord Lü."
Hearing Wu Ziyan say this, Qi Zeyun had no choice.
They couldn't possibly just set up camp at this corner of the city, so they marched in through the city gate in a grand procession.
Hearing the city gate close, and looking ahead, Wei'an County was truly luxurious!
Merchants and travelers came and went in an endless stream, and pedestrians had not yet returned home. The streetlights were bright.
It looks like these shops will stay open very late, but don't most county towns have curfews?
