Chapter 96
Before Cui Hengyue could answer, the guy standing in front suddenly shouted: "Come here."

As soon as the words fell, a group of guys rushed out from all directions and surrounded her in an instant.

There are so many guys in a small inn, and the guys are so vigilant, it really doesn't look like an ordinary inn.

Cui Hengyue couldn't help guessing the identity of the man in black in her heart, it must not be easy.

After thinking about it, the man in black can sneak into the South Hall without a sound, and he can see the weak points of the Dizang Pavilion's defense. He is already very powerful, and it should not be a problem if he owns an extraordinary inn.

Now, King Chu's people haven't left Mingyang Town, so she shouldn't make any noise.

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue said to these people: "I have something important to ask Shopkeeper Sun, please pass it on to everyone."

The guys looked at each other, and finally one guy turned and left.

Not long after, the staff who left led a middle-aged man over: "Shopkeeper Sun, this is the little lady who said she wanted to see you."

Shopkeeper Sun wiped his eyes, looked carefully at Cui Hengyue's protruding eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Dare to ask this little lady, do we know each other?"

"I didn't know each other before, but now I do." Cui Hengyue said solemnly.

Shopkeeper Sun paused for a moment, then asked again: "What do you want me for, little lady?"

Cui Hengyue took out the jade pendant from her bosom and held it up with her hand.

Seeing the jade pendant, shopkeeper Sun's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly bent over and walked over: "Little lady, this way please."

As he spoke, he waved to the guys.

The guys left immediately.

Shopkeeper Sun led Cui Hengyue all the way into the main room in the backyard before he dared to ask, "Where did the jade pendant in the hands of the young lady come from?"

Cui Hengyue said indifferently: "I am your master's savior, before leaving, he gave me this jade pendant, and asked me to come to Fulai Inn in Mingyang Town to look for shopkeeper Sun.

"He said, no matter what I ask, shopkeeper Sun can do it."

After hearing these words, shopkeeper Sun immediately knelt down: "Young lady, please tell me if you have something to do, Sun will definitely die."

Cui Hengyue straightened her back, raised her head and said, "First prepare a table for me, and then prepare a room for me, prepare hot water and clean clothes."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now."

Shopkeeper Sun turned to leave, but was stopped by Cui Hengyue: "Wait—"

"What other orders do you have, little lady?" Shopkeeper Sun asked respectfully.

Cui Hengyue: "Don't leak out the matter of my living here, it's best that you and I know about it."

Shopkeeper Sun: "Don't worry, little lady, those guys just now are my confidantes, and they will never reveal that you have been here.

"As for your living here, I will not tell anyone else that you will live in this room from now on.

"When my master came to Mingyang Town, he also lived in this room. No one would come near this room except me."

Cui Hengyue showed a satisfied look: "Then there will be shopkeeper Laosun."

"Young lady, you are welcome. Please sit down for a while and drink some tea."

After Shopkeeper Sun exited the room, he explained to the guys just now, and then went to the kitchen.

Cui Hengyue stood up, paced slowly in the room, and looked at the furnishings in the room.

There are many calligraphy and paintings in the room, and they are all paintings of landscapes, flowers and plants. They are sketched with a few strokes, but they reveal a bit of elegance. It seems that the man in black who helped her is still an elegant person.

Wait, what is that?
Cui Hengyue walked quickly to the desk and stared at the paintings on the wall. The petals were as bright as jade and as light as silk. Under the moonlight, they were as beautiful as fairies in the fairy world.

"Epiphyllum."

Cui Hengyue read the words on the painting, suddenly a light flashed in her mind, it turned out that it was a short-lived epiphyllum.——
A certain village outside Mingyang Town.

Chen Linshen looked at the subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, and suppressed the anger in his eyes: "I've searched for it in a radius of a hundred miles? Didn't find it?"

Kneeling at the front, Song Mu replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the county king, we have searched all over a hundred miles, but we haven't found Cui Hengyue.

"Besides, we found that the King of Chu has called all his people back. Could it be that Cui Hengyue has already been captured by the King of Chu?"

At this time, a weak voice came from behind: "However, during the day, I saw someone holding a portrait of Cui Hengyue in the neighboring village asking around, saying that it was their young lady who came to Yunxuan Temple to offer incense, and accidentally got separated.

"I guess those people pretending to be civilians should belong to the King of Chu."

Chen Linshen looked at the speaker: "What's your name?"

"Gu Yuan."

Seeing that Chen Linshen became interested in a small guard, Song Mu felt jealous, turned back to stare at Gu Yuan and said, "How do you know that the portrait they are holding is the portrait of Cui Hengyue?

"If I remember correctly, you should have never met Cui Hengyue."

Gu Yuan lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The Commander remembers correctly, this subordinate has indeed never seen Cui Hengyue, but after this subordinate received the order, he secretly approached the people in Yunlin and saw the portrait of Cui Hengyue in their hands."

Pine: "."

Chen Linshen showed an expression of appreciation: "Gu Yuan, you have done a good job. From today onwards, you will be working in the main courtyard."

"Thank you king." Gu Yuan kowtowed excitedly.

Pine clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, Song Mu regained his indifferent expression, and let go of his fist: "Young King, we did not find Cui Hengyue, and Gu Yuan did not perform any meritorious service, so I am just transferring him to the main courtyard as an errand, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it."

The joy on Gu Yuan's face froze instantly.

The other guards didn't make a sound, but the expressions on their faces showed their position, and they refused to accept it.

Chen Linshen glanced around the crowd and said with a smile: "This statement is reasonable, so I will take back what I just said."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's face turned pale, and his expression was full of disappointment.

Chen Linshen glanced at Gu Yuan, and said casually: "However, if anyone can catch Cui Hengyue, I will give him an official position.

"Of course, if you work together to catch Cui Hengyue, you will all be given official positions."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes shot out light.

With an official status, not only the status will rise, but also an extra salary, and most importantly, the county king will value him.

Thinking of this, everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to catch Cui Hengyue."

Seeing the fighting spirit of the crowd, Chen Linshen was very satisfied, and continued: "The King of Chu summoned back the people who were on the bright side, but secretly sent people to search, which shows that the King of Chu has scruples, and Cui Hengyue must be very important to him.

"Feilong Canyon is the territory of the King of Chu, and the people of the King of Chu are most familiar with it, there may be other places that we haven't thought of.

"From now on, stop searching for Cui Hengyue, first find the people secretly sent out by the King of Chu, and keep an eye on them. Once they find Cui Hengyue, you will grab them."

The Yunxuan Temple was very quiet at night, and so was the South Hall. It seemed that Cui Hengyue's incident did not cause any disturbance.

When approaching Zi, two black shadows sprang out from the south and north courtyards of the Dizang Pavilion respectively. They carefully avoided the guards and walked all the way from the roof to the veranda.

"You came."

Su Biwen hid among the bushes outside the veranda, and was very excited to see another black shadow.

Li Bi'er nodded and looked towards the cliff, it was empty without a single guard.

"Since Cui Hengyue fell off the cliff, the guards here have withdrawn." Seeing her gaze, Su Biwen explained.

Li Bier looked away and looked at Su Biwen: "Where is the rope?"

"Here." Su Biwen took out the rope from a hidden bush.

Li Bier asked curiously, "When did you prepare?"

She clearly saw just now that he came out of the North Courtyard.

"After I discuss it with you during the day, I will have someone prepare it for me." Su Biwen's expression was tinged with pride.

Hearing this, Li Bier was shocked.

As far as she knew, the people Su Biwen wooed in the south hall were also fined to do self-reflection behind closed doors, but he just said that people would start preparations during the day, so it should be that Su Biwen was among the people who were not punished .

How many people did he win over in the South Hall?
