If Qi Yu wanted to leave, Bi Su could only follow her decision. Bi Su suggested that they should first settle at the nearest small town, Gao Zhen, before thinking of a plan.

Qi Yu agreed.

After walking for more than ten miles on the snowy road, they had finally reached Little Gao Town. Qi Yu was as tired as a dog!

Xu Rouzhi's body was weak. Even if the snowy road was hard to walk, it wasn't enough to tire him out to walk this far, right? — — As she collapsed in front of the first restaurant at the entrance of the town, Qi Yu was no longer able to walk.

The owner of the noodle house came out from the rear hall. When he saw Qi Yu and Bi Su, he was startled, and said: "Ladies, today is New Year's Eve, and our noodle house is not doing business today.

"Ah …" Qi Yu's face was bitter, it can't be, it took so much effort to sit down, yet they want to kick them out again?

Bi Su quickly asked: "Then can I ask sister-in-law, is there an inn nearby? Are there any other noodle houses? "

"Of course there is an inn. It's just that it's New Year's Eve today, so the fee will be higher!"

"Fee..." Bi Su immediately fished out her bag, then raised her head and looked at Qi Yu with an awkward expression.

No money?

Qi Yu was stunned. She had to come out in a hurry, so she did not bring any money. Oh, that's not right. It's not that she came out in a hurry, it's because after the matter with Xu’s Medical Center, she and Bi Su had been penniless ever since!

The living expenses in the Ji City were all paid for by Feng Qingmo.

Bi Su supported Qi Yu: "Miss, let's go first!"

"Let's just take a break and leave after a while, okay, Lady Boss?" Qi Yu looked at the female owner of the noodle house pitifully.

How could anyone refuse such a small request? Especially for those who opened the door to do business, they would try their best to not offend anyone!

She even provided two bowls of hot soup to Qi Yu and Bi Su. Presumably, she had also seen Bi Su's predicament just now, and guessed that Qi Yu and Bi Su did not have any money, so she gave them hot soup to warm their stomachs.

"Thank you, Lady Boss!" Qi Yu gratefully carried the noodle soup over. Uh, to enjoy all kinds of supplies in the Palace while transmigrating, she had never experienced such an awkward situation before!

Bi Su quietly poured half a bowl of soup into Qi Yu's bowl. Qi Yu waved her hand: "Enough, enough."

Bi Su was a martial arts practitioner, and normally did rough work, which used up a lot of her energy, so she should at least eat more than her!

Qi Yu transferred the bowl in front of Bi Su to her and took half a bowl of soup to dry.

Bi Su was startled, and silently took the bowl of soup that Qi Yu gave him and drank it.

She could drink more, but if Qi Yu got tired, she would just carry him on her back and leave.

Seeing that, the female owner of the noodle shop silently brought out a plate of beef for them. When Qi Yu saw it, her eyes lit up!

However, no matter how hungry you are, you can't just eat someone else's food for free! Qi Yu looked at Bi Su's head. There were no jewelry, and she touched her head, yes, there were none too.

Touching her ear, she took off the two gold leaf earrings she wore and shoved them into the hands of the noodle shop's mistress, "Lady Boss, can you accept this as money for a meal? Can you let us sit a little longer? "

In any case, she didn't like wearing this thing. This noodle shop owner was in a good mood, so she decided to use it to pay for her food!

The snow-covered road was more than a dozen li deep and shallow. She was truly too tired to walk anymore!

The owner of the noodle shop returned the earrings to Qi Yu and said sternly: "Ladies, please do not be like this. The two of us will be packing up and will have to go back to the village to celebrate the new year with the elderly. After a while, the two young ladies will go to the inn to sleep. I'm afraid that these two golden leaves will be enough to pay for the room for ten days to half a month! "

"Since we're going to eat elder sister-in-law for free, how can we be so embarrassed …" Bi Su's face was slightly red, she was already regretting drinking her soup for nothing, she and the Young Miss are not beggars!

The owner of the noodle store smiled. "The noodle store will open again in a few days. When that happens, the two ladies can come and support us!"

Qi Yu coughed dryly. Although the other party would not accept it, she could not just eat the other party's beef for free! Taking advantage of the moment when the noodle shop hostess turned around to get a rag, she hid her earpiece behind a jar of vinegar on the table. "En, alright. Thank you, boss!"

When they cleaned up the table later, the Lady Boss would take the earring and let them pay for it!

Just as sshe was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. Her heart tensed up: "Bi Su, is there something wrong?"

Bi Su immediately stood up and protected Qi Yu behind him. Seeing that, the owner of the noodle house became nervous and rushed to the door to take a look, saying: "A group of people is heading towards the small town!"

"What kind of person?" Qi Yu asked.

"A bunch of men, like the Shangguan Family …"

A member of the Shangguan Family! Could it be that the imperial government had caught an assassin and brought him to this small town?

It was too late to go through the door. The owner of the noodle store retreated, and the sounds of footsteps came from outside as well. Someone else instructed in a deep voice, "Look for them carefully, from house to house!"

Whose voice was this?

Bi Su was startled!

Qi Yu also recognized it, Lu Ming! That was Lu Ming's voice!

Damn, why was Lu Ming at Little Gao Town?

"Let's go!" Qi Yu whispered. She did not want to meet anyone from the Prince Qi Palace again.

Bi Su immediately supported Qi Yu up and anxiously asked the owner of the noodle shop: "Shopkeeper Sister-in-law, where is the back door?"

The master of the noodle store was also stunned, the man had also brought out the curtains. Before she could even understand what was going on, Bi Su had anxiously pulled Qi Yu up and rushed in!

The inner room of the noodle shop was the kitchen, and beyond the kitchen was a small courtyard. On the left and right were the firewood huts. The firewood huts were filled to the brim with firewood. Bi Su immediately hid Qi Yu in the woodshed and whispered: "Miss, you hide here for a while, I will go out to check the situation."

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly!" Qi Yu immediately waved her hand towards Bi Su.

Bi Su looked at Qi Yu, turned and walked out of the woodshed, and closed the door behind him. With a "shua" sound, she flew into the air and disappeared from Qi Yu's field of vision.

Lying inside the firewood, Qi Yu finally understood. It must be because after hearing about Chu Yizhao's accident, Chu Yixuan or Lu Ming had also rushed to the scene to take a look! They must have seen the dress, so they guessed she had been there!

So, was that why Lu Ming had appeared in the small town? Were they looking for her? Had he been following her and Bi Su's footprints?

Qi Yu felt her scalp go numb, she felt that she and Bi Su were going to die this time!

If Chu Yixuan thought that she was going to help Chu Yizhao, would he kill her?

Squatting on the rooftop, with the cover of the eaves, Bi Su quietly sized up the row of Palace bodyguards on the street. Hmm, although there weren't many of them, they were all the more trustworthy bodyguards beside Chu Yixuan!

The guards of the Prince Qi Manor were all looking around, who knew what kind of people they were looking for. Lu Ming was standing guard by the side of a horse carriage, so he guessed that the person inside the carriage was Chu Yixuan!

Why would the Emperor and the rest appear here? Bi Su frowned, puzzled.

Chu Yixuan pointed to the carriage curtain and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. It was New Year's Eve, and many of the shops had closed for business, with only a few stores open for business. There were two inns, three restaurants and a noodle shop.

The guards of the Prince Qi Palace started searching from the noodle house, family after family. None of them found any trace of Qi Yu.

After searching, the guard returned to the carriage and reported, "Your Royal Highness, the open doors of the shops have been searched. The rest of the shops are locked from the outside, so there shouldn't be anyone inside."

Chu Yixuan could not help but frown slightly. Lu Ming asked in confusion: "Why is there no one here? Those two sets of footprints clearly entered this town! "

The guard replied, "The two inns, three inns, and the entrance to a noodle shop are all filled with footprints. It's hard to tell which shop they entered."

Lu Ming frowned: "Have you looked for every single room in the inn?"

"Yes, I did. The shopkeeper also said that the guest who came to stay for the night was a man and not the person we were looking for."

Lu Ming slightly lifted the carriage's curtain. "Your Highness, look …"

Chu Yixuan squinted his eyes and turned to look at the first noodle house, "Let's talk after we return to the noodle house."

If those two rows of footprints were really her and Bi Su, then they would still be in this town. Her body was weak. It was such a cold day, and after walking so far into the town and seeing the first noodle shop, she was sure to come in and eat some noodles to replenish her strength.

He immediately turned the horse around and returned to the noodle shop. Chu Yixuan got off the carriage and slowly walked in.

The master of the noodle store was carrying his luggage and was about to leave, but seeing that Lu Ming had returned, he was shocked!

Looking at the young man by Lu Ming's side who was crippled, but wearing a luxurious fur coat, although his face was pale, it could not conceal the noble temperament that caused others to be unable to resist him.

Presumably, this was either a scion of the Shangguan family or a disciple of a wealthy family. The male owner of the noodle shop hurried forward and bowed respectfully, "Young master, do you want to eat noodles? "The store has been closed …"

Lu Ming waved his hand, "We don't eat noodles, we are here to look for people."

The male owner of the noodle store pretended to be calm and said, "May I know who Young Noble is looking for? "It's the new year, so most of the town's businessmen have gone home for New Year's Eve. Maybe …"

Lu Ming cast his gaze at the nervous mistress of the hall. He believed that a woman's mentality was not as good as a man's, it would be better to start from a woman, maybe he would gain something from it. Thus, his face darkened and he asked the owner of the noodle shop, "A lady and a servant just passed by this town. The two girls are as beautiful as flowers, and their target is very eye-catching. This female owner shouldn't have missed that, right?"

The owner of the noodle store turned even paler!

Just now, these people had already asked around about the two girls. She said that she had never seen them before, so why did she come to ask now? Could it be that those two girls had done something to offend this young master?

When he saw the mistress of the pavilion, she did not speak, causing Lu Ming to immediately guess what had happened. Presumably, the wangfei and Bi Su had really appeared here before! His face immediately darkened. "Those two girls are very important. If someone intentionally conceals their whereabouts, it will bring disaster upon himself!"

"This... "This …" The owner of the noodle store was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Chu Yixuan, who was at the side, had already noticed the two sets of footprints in the water under one of the tables. It was obvious that the snow on top of the boots had melted into water inside the shop, hence there were two sets of footprints in the water.

Even though the surface of the table had been wiped, one could still see the traces of oil on the bottom of the two bowls when they walked closer.

He slowly took out the earring and coldly glanced at the owner and his wife: "Speak, where is the owner of this earring?"
