Chapter 11
The leaves of the vine are black, and the pattern of each leaf has a little light gold, so if you look for it carefully, it is still very conspicuous in the mountains and fields full of withered vines and weeds in early winter, so she walked faster, scanning many places. , If you don't find it, you will quickly pass by.

Unknowingly, he walked a little farther.

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Zhan and his guard Yin Yi just found a place with the back of the sun, ready to eat some dry food before continuing on the road.

"Someone!"

Yin Yi frowned, drew out his dagger and carefully pushed aside a clump of tree branches to look, only to see a woman in white walking closer and closer, scanning left and right as she walked, as if she was looking for something.

Seeing that the guard was not moving, Chu Zhan pushed away and took a look, but just in time saw a girl bent down, as if she was pulling a clump of vines.

"Bamboo, there are still here."

The girl's voice was soft, but clear as an oriole.

Gu Ruoyao had no idea that there were two people looking at them not far away. She called out from a distance, then stood up and continued to search around.

Looking from a distance, Chu Zhan saw a young girl approaching gracefully. Although she was combing her hairpins, her eyes were as quiet as ink, and her complexion was indifferent.A white dress fluttered with the wind, and her hair fluttered in the breeze, like a fairy under the moon who wanted to ride the wind and fly away.

On the other side of the mountain, a young man who looked like a family far away agreed and walked this way.

"Let's go!" Chu Zhan withdrew his gaze, pulled away for a while, and the two let go of the branches, and quietly retreated from the side.

Gu Ruoyao seemed to have sensed something, she glanced at the empty place, and then looked away suspiciously.

"Miss!" Vanilla followed behind the bamboo knot, looking for it worriedly.

"We'll leave after digging this clump," Gu Ruoyao didn't intend to delay here any longer, "Is your foot feeling better?"

"It's ready, but it felt a little numb at first." Vanilla looked at the bamboo cut thing curiously, "Miss, what is this?"

A mass of jet black, with thorns!

"Good stuff!" Gu Ruoyao smiled.

Seeing that the bamboo joints had been cut, he told him, "Remember these places." It's best to ask the bamboo joints to bring some people around to look for them. The more things there are, the better.

Bamboo nodded and answered seriously.

Some guards saw that Zhujie was carrying a lot of things, so they came to help, and quickly packed up the cut vines, and made a clean basket to put them in.

After a few people packed up their things, the sun had already set to the west.

In order to get to the post station before dark, everyone had to speed up their journey. The carriage galloped all the way. Gu Ruoyao couldn't read at all, so she could only endure in the carriage. Fortunately, she finally arrived at the post station just before dark.

Gu Ruoyao's master and servant got out of the carriage in a daze, but after walking two steps, Xiangcai couldn't help but her complexion changed, and she ran to the side of the tree and vomited.

Although Gu Ruoyao's complexion was pale and she felt her stomach rolling, it was still within the tolerable range.

It’s just that I’ve suffered enough in the afternoon, so I made up my mind not to delay the trip in the future, so as not to ask for trouble like today.

"Damn it, maidservant." Vanilla ran over in a small step.I am very sorry for my disrespectful behavior in front of the lady and everyone.

"It's okay, eat this." Gu Ruoyao took out a Jasper pill from her purse, and gave one to Vanilla.

Vanilla still felt a little nauseous, but the pills melted in the mouth, and there was a clear and sweet taste. Instantly, I felt a lot clearer and more energetic.

"Thank you, Miss." With bright eyes, Vanilla helped Gu Ruoyao to walk towards the gate of the post station again.

At this time, Xiaoer was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the two coming, he graciously welcomed them in.

"Come three guest rooms, one upper room." Zhu Jie took out a silver coin and placed it on the counter.

"it is good"

"and many more!"

Before Xiaoer finished speaking, he was interrupted by a soft drink.

After the words were finished, a little maid rushed in, "We want two rooms above, and three guest rooms." The little maid took out a silver ingot and put it in the child's arms.

"This guest officer," Xiao'er glanced at Gu Ruoyao and the others, and smiled wryly, "This guest officer, we only have one room, and, moreover, the lady has already made an appointment just now."

The little maid frowned, "Can you pay?" Don't think she didn't see it, the money is still on the counter!
Xiao Er looked at the silver on the counter and hesitated to speak,
"That means you haven't paid yet? Why are you hesitating if you haven't paid?" The little maid glanced at Gu Ruoyao and the others disdainfully, "What? You still want to compete with us for a room? Our lady came from the official post." The little maid rolled her eyes.

Obviously, he looked down on Gu Ruoyao and other guests at the resident station.

Gu Ruoyao smiled, and when she turned her head, she saw that the child's face remained unchanged, and she also wanted the silver in her arms, and put it on the counter with a "bang".

Official Post Official Post!The official station is amazing!Isn't it going to be exchanged for our place, hum!

"I'm really sorry, the guest in the upper room has already been booked. If you want, please come early next time." Before the little maid could react, he took a few steps forward, signaling Gu Ruoyao and others to follow the mountain.

Naturally, Gu Ruoyao would not be polite with the little girl, but she didn't want to make a scene too stiff, so she nodded at the little girl, passed her and followed Xiao Er's footsteps.

Vanilla glanced at the little maid expressionlessly, and followed her to catch up with the young lady.

"You, you——" the little maid pointed at them and was very angry.

Obviously, I can't figure it out, why these people are not polite when I moved out that my lady is the official lady?

"Let's go, let's go too." Zhu Jie smiled and shook off the burden, and greeted the guards, but in a flash, everyone hurried away, leaving only the little maidservant messy in the wind.

"Hmph! You wait!" The little maid blushed and stomped her feet and ran out.

At this moment, a window on the second floor of the inn slammed shut.

"Your Highness, it's her." Yin Yi was standing behind Chu Zhan just now, and this "she" naturally refers to Gu Ruoyao who I just met at noon.

"This is the only foothold from here to Huaining, so it's not surprising to see it." Chu Zhan took a sip of tea, and quickly put the dispute downstairs that wasn't a dispute just now, "But we can find out who Who wrote the letter?"

Yin Yi straightened his face, "I found out, the person who wrote the secret letter was Gu Mingru, the former county magistrate of Huaining County."

"Former magistrate?" Chu Zhan frowned.

"Yes, the former county magistrate, because he died in an accident half a month ago." Yinyi emphasized the word "accident".

"Tell me, what kind of accident was it?" Chu Zhan asked with great interest.

"It is said that it was a neighborhood dispute. One family felt that Gu Mingru had taken money from another family, which caused his family's vegetable field to be occupied and the government ignored it. The anger in the dispute was nothing more than stabbing Gu Mingru with a knife. Gu Mingru was seriously injured and died. .”

"So, for some reason, the former county magistrate of Huaining first found out that someone in Dingzhou, thousands of miles away, was secretly setting up troops, and within a few days after writing a letter to the capital, he died unexpectedly because of a neighborhood dispute?" Chu Zhan seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Looking at Yinyi, "Do you believe it?"

 In the daily request for tickets, I am infinitely grateful.
