At the same time, the city gates were already under martial law. However, the wanted person was not Leng Hong Xiu, but rather a few of Feng You Ran's and Feng You Ran's underlings. The news had also reached the ninth prince's residence and Yun Ri Yang.
When she arrived at the city gate carrying her backpack, she found out that heavy soldiers were guarding the gate and couldn't get out at all.
It seemed that the palace had given the order for them to leave the city. Now that the nine gates were closed, if any civilians wanted to enter or leave the city, they would have to go to the capital to register their names, verify that they were indeed residents of the city, or find a reason to leave the city before they were allowed to leave the city. If they did not have a warrant to leave the city without permission, all the soldiers in the city would have the right to leave the city on the spot.
And this order must be carried out until the wanted criminals were caught on the notice board.
With this, Leng Hong Xiu was naturally anxious. Not to mention that she was not a resident of the city, she was not even from this world. How could she have a famous surname and be prepared in the capital city? If she was going to do business here, she also needed a witness. The only witness she could think of was Yun Ri Yang.
However, she had severely rejected Yun Ri Yang's offer to help and left the Ninth Marquis' Mansion. Now, no matter how thick-skinned someone was, they did not have the face to go back and ask for his proof. Furthermore, Yun Ri Yang did not want to leave this place.
The city wall was not an ordinary city wall. One could easily climb it just by running, jumping or climbing. The city wall was over ten meters tall and there were many soldiers guarding it. How could one climb over it?
If she was still living in Long Fortune Lane, she could find Big Cold Night to prove that she was a merchant that legally bought a house in this city. However, something had gone wrong with the house and someone had died, so perhaps Leng Da Leng was waiting to identify her? How could he do it? Although there were three other houses, they were all bought in secret just in case. Since they were bought in secret, no one knew who they were and no one could prove who they were.
By this count, she was already a complete black sheep. What should she do now?
Leng Hong Xiu stared at the row of wanted posters on the far wall. Although she didn't tell the commoners who these people were, only saying that they were bandits, Leng Hong Xiu clearly knew that they were Feng You Ran's group.
From the looks of it, the imperial court was intentionally hiding something from him. Leng Hong Xiu was no longer curious about Feng You Ran's identity, after all, she had been in the Sun City for so many days, so even though she had spent most of her time in the house, when she went out to familiarize herself with the environment, she could still hear some interesting conversations about the two kingdoms. Although they were just casual entertainment for commoners, it was enough for her to know that the royal family of the State of Yue was surnamed Feng.
It was hard to say whether this Feng You Ran was the son of a certain prince or even a prince, but regardless of his real identity, Leng Hong Xiu was just cursing in her heart. Damn it, if she had leaked it, then it would have been a waste to implicate her, but now, if she couldn't find Feng You Ran's treasure trove, then she wouldn't be able to leave the city in broad daylight, and it would be even more difficult for her to find Sen Luo.
Leng Hong Xiu clenched her fists so tightly that she almost broke them.
However, she knew that she couldn't force her way in alone, so she had to think long and hard about it. Luckily, she had put up a property in the residential district closest to the city gate, so she could only turn around and head there.
There were only two rooms in total, and the walls were not high, making them look simple and crude. However, the houses in this area, which were all like this, did not seem shabby. On the contrary, because they were all covered by the same houses, their safety was very high.
This house had been empty for many years before she bought it. It was said that the owner had moved back to his hometown a few years ago, and the Beijing house had always been sold on behalf of a distant relative. In the following few years, most people would have their own house, but they wouldn't have much money to buy another house.
Originally, she was just on guard against any unexpected situations. She did not expect that it would come in handy now. Leng Hong Xiu could not help but sigh in her heart. Now that she had bought four mansions, she had already used all three of them and finally no longer needed to use the last one.
He took out the key and unlocked the old lock on the courtyard door before pushing it open and entering. At the same time, he closed the door and walked towards the two rooms, halfway through which he felt a strong wind rushing towards him from behind. Leng Hong Xiu immediately tilted her head, dodged, and flexed her waist.
The person did not seem to expect that the person who came in would react so quickly, thinking that it was just an ordinary civilian who wanted to control her so that she would not discover them, but instead almost got injured by the short sword in her sleeve. Both of them took a step back and looked at each other, before Leng Hong Xiu could react in surprise, the person who had plotted against her had already cried out, "Miss Leng, Miss Leng, why are you here?"
Although Leng Hong Xiu's makeup was a bit ugly, it was still unable to conceal the beautiful silhouette of someone who knew her, not to mention that due to Feng You Ran's relationship with her, she had stared at Leng Hong Xiu for a long time. She remembered Leng Hong Xiu's men's and women's clothing vividly, so to see her in such a situation was to be feared and feared.
Just a moment ago, she was cursing this damned Feng You Ran, but now, she realised that the subordinate of the person she was cursing was pointing a sword at her in surprise. Since Mu Ru Yue was here, then Feng You Ran and the rest must be here as well.
"Hmph, I haven't asked you guys what you sneakily entered my house for, but you actually asked me!" Strange! Don't you think it's a little noisy? "Feng You Ran, get him out for me."
Hearing Leng Hong Xiu's voice, his heart was filled with joy and shock. He thought that the next time he would meet Leng Hong Xiu, he did not expect that after a few days, they would meet again, and fate was still on his side. Could it be that even the heavens were helping him out in the underworld?
Opening the door, she quickly came out to greet him. Her face was full of joy, "Miss Leng, it's really fated that we meet again!"
However, Leng Hong Xiu glared at him with an unhappy face, and said sarcastically, "It should be said that the world is really small, and we can meet people who drag us down wherever we go. The one surnamed Feng, what kind of big things did you do in the capital, and the news that it was so big, and wanted posters everywhere in the city?"
"Miss Leng, do you think we should go in and talk? Although this place is also very secluded, but in the eyes of the people around this place, this place has been deserted for many years.
He was already used to Leng Hong Xiu's cold attitude compared to the first time he had met her. Now that he had interacted with her a lot, he somewhat understood that she was just like this. Furthermore, she had saved his life, so he could not be bothered about Leng Hong Xiu's rudeness and disrespect.
However, towards his master's gentle and courteous attitude, Mu Ren felt a little unfair, "It's all because of you, I don't know who killed those people in Changyun Lane, but now the culprit is not captured, instead he wrongly accused my young master, hmph!"
Long Distance travel alley?
Feng You Ran quickly replied, "Miss Leng, it's alright. In fact, even if there is no matter what, someone has already set their eyes on me and wants to put me to death. No one can stop me from doing so, so let's not talk about this anymore. You don't have to come in and stay in the dark to be on your guard!"
Mu Ran knew that Feng You Ran was annoyed that he had offended Leng Hong Xiu with his words. Hearing that, he also angrily and silently walked towards a secluded corner of the courtyard.
No wonder there was no picture of her on the wall, and someone had actually placed the blame onto Feng You Ran's group. If that was the case, then Feng You Ran was trapped inside the Sun City and had somehow harmed him. With this being the case, how could Leng Hong Xiu continue to hate Feng You Ran?
One could tell that Feng You Ran and the rest had not been in the house for long. Just as they were about to leave the city, they realized that they were wanted. They had nowhere to hide for a while, so they found a place to hide.
"Where are the others?" He thought that he could at least see some of Feng You Ran's subordinates, but it turned out that he was the only one who met them.
"This place is too small, hiding from a group of people is not an option. The target is too big, how can we know if the soldiers in Sun City will search this place door to door?" So, in order to split up the target, they have hidden somewhere else, and there are only two people here, Mu Gongzi and I, and you, Miss Leng, when did you buy this house in the capital? Hearing the door open, Mu Gongzi and I were a little surprised, thinking that our real master had come back, but who would have thought that it would actually be you.
Once I enter this Sun City, I will buy four mansions. The place called Changyun Lane is for the outsiders, and the other three are for hiding, and this is one of them. I was just about to leave the city when I discovered the city gates, and since this place is the closest to the city gates and is also a normal commoner district, it is relatively inconspicuous.
After seeing Feng You Ran's surprised and admiring expression, Leng Hong Xiu was not the least bit moved. She said indifferently, "Based on the current situation, I'm afraid that you all won't be able to leave Sun City for a while. Although the house at Changyun Lane was exposed, I bought the other two places under a fake name, so you let your guard in. I told him where to go and let the rest of you know.
"Miss Leng, thank you. You saved You Ran once again."
Feng You Ran's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration for Leng Hong Xiu. He had not misjudged this woman in the slightest, and just her courage and fearless demeanor was enough for her to become a kingdom. If he could take her as his wife, then not only would Yue Lao be strong and peaceful, he believed that even if Rising Sun Nation decided to make a move on Yue Lao, they would also feel a little afraid.
Thus, whether it was in the country or in private, he wanted to marry Leng Hong Xiu as his wife. Any other woman would not have this kind of means and ability.
"I don't need you to thank me. After all, no matter what, I was the one who killed those people at Changyun Lane, so it's not your fault. Moreover, those people died after you came to find me, so the person who hid you in my house right now can be considered as compensation."
With regards to Feng You Ran's gratitude and respect, Leng Hong Xiu did not appreciate his kindness, but spoke the truth instead. Feng You Ran's impression of Leng Hong Xiu, who had the courage to take responsibility for the matter, was much better, so he continued after hearing Feng You Ran's words, "No matter what, I still have to thank you. You saved us twice, so no matter what request you give me in the future, I will agree to it."
Leng Hong Xiu didn't reply. She merely opened the door, gesturing for him to let Mu in. Feng You Ran immediately said softly, "Mu Rou, come in."
Mu Ren quickly emerged from the shadows and walked in quickly, "Young Master."
"Mu Jean, listen carefully. Miss Leng still has two properties in Sun City, she will tell you the location and location, and you will immediately contact our people and have them hide in these two houses. When the wind is slightly lighter, we will think of ways to leave the city one by one."
Mu Linger was pleasantly surprised by Feng You Ran's words. Then, she looked at her with suspicion. This woman was so kind-hearted, and she even offered them a place to stay. She shouldn't be planning any tricks, right?
Leng Hong Xiu only needed a glance at his eyes to understand what he was thinking. She said lightly, "The territory that you are standing on is also mine. If you don't want it, you can leave right now. I will not stop you."
"You …"
"Mu Ren — —" Feng You Ran was a little angry. At this time, Mu Rong Jun still dared to confront Leng Hong Xiu? Did he take his orders for granted?
"I am sorry, young master. Please enlighten me, Miss Leng." Mu Rong Jun knew that Feng You Ran had tolerated him to his limit. Although he really wanted to warn his master to be careful of this woman, he didn't dare to retort and forced himself to lower his head respectfully.
The most important thing was that during the crucial moment, Leng Hong Xiu ignored his attitude and went over to whisper a few words into his ear. After writing it down, Mu Rou nodded, "This subordinate will remember, this subordinate will go over now."
"Mu Rou, be careful. You must come back before midnight, regardless of whether you can contact those people or not." In the end, Feng You Ran was still a little worried for his personal bodyguard.
"I understand that Young Master Xie is concerned."
After reopening the door, the only people left in the room were Feng You Ran and Leng Hong Xiu.
At this time, Sen Luo who had been taken away by Feng Hong Xu had already arrived at a place five hundred miles away from Sun City.
