two months later.

Tang Xueyao and his party came to the base of Yuanjiang City.

Looking at the majestic city tower in front of her, Amela tightened her burden and whispered in Tang Xueyao's ear, "Miss, shall we settle here?"

"Well, this is the place that must be passed through on the way back to the capital from Sichuan. I want to try my luck." Tang Xueyao replied softly.

Counting the days, it has been more than a month since she left the capital, plus the day when Ning Han left, they have been separated for more than two months.

For more than two months, there was no news.

"We'll just wait here. If we can't wait, we'll continue heading south." Tang Xueyao touched Amei's haggard face due to the exhaustion of the journey, feeling a little distressed.

"Going to Shu?" Alan asked.

"No," Tang Xueyao shook her head, "Go and settle in one of our favorite places, and then open a Baicaotang."

"The prince..."

"Sometimes there must be something in fate, I don't force it." Tang Xueyao took the lead to enter the city gate, and the gentle voice was blown to Amei and Alan's ears by the wind, causing ripples in their hearts.

"Miss……"

"Let's go! Don't be dazed, find an inn to rest." Tang Xueyao turned her head and saw that they were still in a daze, she couldn't help laughing.

Perhaps in the eyes of ancient people, the idea that she does not want to be attached to a man is very strange.

But she is like this, never forced.

It's hers, and she will definitely come back after going around.If it's not hers, then she's gone for more than a month, that's enough.

The three masters and servants found an inn in Yuanjiang City, which was small in scale and better in cleanliness.

"Shunlai Inn" was hung on the door, which unexpectedly made peace with Tang Xueyao's idea.

Let everything go with the flow, what should come will come naturally.

Alan held Tang Xueyao who was about to go in, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, I feel that someone is following us."

Amei, who had been carefree all this time, also looked serious at this moment. She spontaneously stood behind Tang Xueyao, her body tensed.

Seeing them like this, Tang Xueyao couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She glanced around casually, but found no suspicious person.

The shop waiter just happened to pass by, saw the three of them, and immediately burst out laughing: "Hello, three, do you want to be a top player or stay in the shop?"

"Stay in the inn." Alan glanced back, and led the way into the inn. Tang Xueyao followed behind her, and Amei was in the rear.

After entering, Tang Xueyao looked around, and found that many guests were dining, and the tables looked flat and full of signs of use, not like a Jianghu inn.

But she believed in Amei and Alan, so she remained extremely vigilant.

"Two upper rooms, we eat in the room."

"Well, go up, the two rooms at the corner of the stairs, the one with the bamboo plaque on the door is empty."

After Tang Xueyao went up, she told them to put some of their luggage in a room and tuck it under the quilt, making it look like someone was sleeping inside.

The three of them ran to another room to rest.

For more than a month, they have lived in the inn like this.

Sometimes they laugh at themselves for being too nervous, because they have been peaceful.

But this time things are a little different.

After they went up, a dusty man in black clothes with a scabbard on his back followed in.

It's Song Kai.

He just arrived in Yuanjiang City, thinking that this is the only way to return to the capital from Shu, guessing that Tang Xueyao and his party are very likely to stay here, so he planned to come here to try his luck.

Not long after he set up a hotel and entered the room to rest, five or six menacing people came one after another, with either scabbards or scabbards behind them.

They were the killers sent by Jiang Tian to hunt down Tang Xueyao and Ning Han, but they didn't know that Tang Xueyao was resting in the bedroom.

They simply thought that this was the only way to go back to the capital from Sichuan, and they would definitely be able to catch Tang Xueyao or Ning Han here.

The innkeeper was a little scared when he saw that they looked unfriendly and they were all armed, and didn't want them to stay.

But they gave too much.

The innkeeper looked at the white banknotes, smiled so much that his teeth could not see his eyes, and warmly greeted them to stay in the inn.

They also happened to live around Tang Xueyao's bedroom.

However, they didn't know each other's existence, and they both thought they were ordinary residents.

The murderous night passed peacefully...

Early the next morning, Tang Xueyao took Amei and Alan to the gate of the city, and did not come back until evening, and happened to miss her again with the person who assassinated her.

night.

Tang Xueyao and Amei and Alan had dinner downstairs in the inn. Since they came back very late, all the diners had left, leaving only scattered guests staying in the inn.

As soon as they sat down to order, Song Kai glanced at them.

There are three masters and servants, the maidservant is quiet and moving, her appearance is beautiful...

Initially, it fits the emperor's description.

Moreover, most of the people who came to order food at this time were guests staying at the restaurant. If Tang Xueyao was waiting for Ning Han here, it was indeed possible to stay at the restaurant.

Remembering that the emperor said that he would talk to her when he was in doubt, and that Tang Xueyao's clever response was Tang Xueyao's advice, Song Kai stood up.

The waiter happened to be approaching them cautiously with the soup in his hands, he thought about it, approached unintentionally, and bumped into the waiter when he tilted his waist.

The waiter in the shop panicked, seeing that the hot soup was about to be poured on Tang Xueyao and the others, Song Kai scooped it up quickly, and the hot soup landed safely on his palm.

The waiter in the shop was relieved after a while, and complained with lingering fear: "Guests, please walk carefully, I almost spilled it on someone. This is hot soup just boiled."

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Song Kai apologized kindly, and put the soup on Tang Xueyao's table safely.

He pursed his lips and smiled at them again, with a shy expression: "I'm sorry, three ladies."

"It's okay." Tang Xueyao pressed Amei's hand that was about to move, shook her head and comforted: "You didn't get burned, did you?"

"No... hiss!" Song Kai smiled, suddenly took a breath, looked at his arm, shook it, and said with a simple smile: "It's okay, it's a small matter."

"Go and flush cold water quickly, it will be good if you get burnt." Tang Xueyao said with concern.

Understand medical skills?
Song Kai was simple and honest on the surface, thinking carefully in his heart.

No, this is not considered medical skills, let's try again.

"Miss, you are so kind. My surname is Song, how dare I ask the girl's name?" He opened his eyes wide and put on an innocent look.

Alan frowned, stood up and grabbed his arm, looked at him for a while, and said coldly: "It's not considered an injury, son, let's rush to the cold water."

"The girl has such a temper." Song Kai smiled, and took a few steps back: "I just want to get to know each other. It's not easy to walk in the rivers and lakes. It's even more admirable to see you three girls outside alone."

"No need." Amei stood up, stood in front of Tang Xueyao, and said displeasedly: "My young lady doesn't reveal her name easily, my lord, please."

Seeing this, Song Kai had no choice but to leave with a smile, and sat on the table behind them without saying a word.

But as long as Tang Xueyao raised her head, she could meet his eyes.

If he didn't look up, he would look at Tang Xueyao unscrupulously, and would just put on an innocent smile when Amei and Alan glared at her.
