One had to say, the person who'd done it was not only cautious, but also knowledgeable and experienced.

The branches, leaves and flowers of the oleander are all highly toxic.

But in Situ Xi's vomit, Nona had only found the leaf. In other words, this person had only eaten the leaf for Situ Xi.

She had seen many things that ate even the bark of the trees on the way back, and the number of people that ate the Guan Yin dirt was even more numerous. This person had only chosen the leaves for Situ Xi to eat, in a way, this proved that this person was indeed one of the guards.

And it was only Leaves, even if she was accidentally seen by others, it wouldn't arouse their suspicion.

After all, on the way back, when there was no food, the leaves became the best choice.

"I've disturbed the Prefect for the past few days!"

Lil 'White took the lead and nodded towards the millions of men and the Prefect before striding out with his head held high.

Behind him was a couple. The man was carrying a wrapped up child that looked similar to Situ Xi, while the woman was silently lowering her head and leading a three or four-year-old boy. They went out the door and quickly got into the carriage …

"Nona, thank you."

They had finally left the city. Situ Xi feebly opened her eyes, trying her best to form a brilliant smile.

Even though he had been unconscious, his consciousness had always been clear, so he knew everything that Jiu Niang and the others had done. He never would have thought that the person who saved his life in the end would be this girl he met by chance.

"No need to thank me, I'm not helping out for nothing."

Jiu Niang shook her head and shrugged.

Yes, he didn't save her for nothing, there was a price to pay.

She was responsible for ensuring that Situ Xi was still alive, and for Whitey to obediently acknowledge her as his master after completing the mission, she had earned quite a bit. After all, it was not easy to find an expert like Situ Xi these days, and it was even more difficult to guarantee that he would obediently listen to her.

Originally, Little White had planned to have Ninth Mother follow them back, so that they could take care of Situ Xi along the way. But then …

Currently, there were only four guards left. It was unclear who was the good one and who was the bad one. Continuing on the road was undoubtedly a risk, so … Lil 'White entrusted Situ Xi to Jiu Niang. As for the rest of the matters, it was already left up to Lil' White. Jiu Niang only brought Situ Xi back home overnight.

Therefore, she did not know what Whitey was going to do next. Naturally, she also did not think that other than a few guards, there was also a couple with them.

If Nona and Min'er were to see it, they would definitely recognize it …

"Heh heh, that's right …" But you … "Forget it, no matter what, if it wasn't for you this time, I might have died a long time ago."

As Situ Xi thought about how the guard had sold himself out in order to save him, she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. But no matter what, if it wasn't for Nona, he definitely wouldn't have heard of it this time.

Furthermore … He also believed that the Dark Guard was willing to do this.

"Nonsense, what do you mean by 'don't die'? Go and live well. Otherwise, where else can I find such an expert?" Nona frowned in dissatisfaction. She glared at Situ Xi, her heart aching for him. He was so young and yet he was nearly hollowed out. Who knew how much suffering he had suffered until now.

However, now was not the time to sigh with emotion. "Alright, cut the crap. It's time for us to set off."

Yes, this is not a place to stay for long.

Although she didn't know what Lil 'White was planning, but …

After all, it couldn't be real, it couldn't be fake.

Situ Xi was currently here. Although her residence was considered to be hidden and not many people knew about it, … After all, there were quite a few people who had followed Xu Tianyi to find him. If those people on the road found out that something was amiss, they would have returned …

For the sake of safety, it was best to avoid them.

She wasn't the King Kong woman. If she really came back on the way, he wouldn't have the ability to deal with so many people.

As for him, he also impolitely placed the greater half of the weight on her body. Fortunately, he was only a thin youth, and if he had grown a bit stronger, then he would probably have crushed her in that instant.

"Min Er has left!"

She was going to support Situ Xi on one side and call out to Min Er on the other.

Nona suddenly felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was it that when she teleported through the other party, she used all sorts of powerful techniques, causing wind and water to spring up, while she … Let's not talk about it. Saying too much would only result in tears …

Look at yourself, sick, little...

This won't do. Once this calamity is over, she must find a beautiful place to buy a hundred and eighty mu of land and live a leisurely life as a landlady. Otherwise … Otherwise, he really would have wasted his time in this world... Right, it's settled then …

Jiu Niang, who had never thought about what she would do in her future, suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

But...

Forget it, that was a matter of the future. Right now, it was imperative that they quickly move to a safe place.

However, what Nona did not know was that not long after they left, there was a group of people rushing over. However, they did not enter through the main entrance. With a light leap, they entered.

There were four or five men in black, and after searching for a while, they were unable to find anything.

"Mistress, there's no one here!"

"Mistress, there isn't any here either!"

"Mistress, I've searched everywhere, inside and out."

The man in black quickly went to report to his family members in a year. If Jiu Niang was here at this moment, she would have recognized him immediately. Who else could this person be other than Situ Jin? In just a short month's time, Situ Jin had become very thin and dark. He did not look like a noble young master at all, but his pair of sharp eyes were still as bright as ever.

"Not here? Didn't you say she bought the house? "

Situ Jin had been worried about Jiu Niang along the way. She was just a little girl, and there was no one around to protect her. He didn't know if anything would happen to her, so he had planned to look for her the moment he was done with his business. He did not expect that a brocade city would find out that his original house had been bought by Nona. Because he did not want to return to the capital, he had taken over the house in the brocade city.

He had no other choice, so he gave an extremely high price to the granny broker to deal with.

Such a price was more than enough to buy ten houses. He hadn't intended to sell them, but he had just been putting on an act. He hadn't thought that they would actually sell them. Today, when they entered Jincheng City, they originally wanted to rest, but the granny broker told them that the house was already sold. Looking at the five thousand taels of silver, his first reaction was to meet a big enemy.

It was only after checking that he found out that the big shot was none other than the one he had been worried about everyday, Nona.

"This... "This … Maybe she has something to take care of when she goes out …"

The guards were a little scared by Situ Jin's stare, they quickly found an excuse to explain.

In his heart, he complained to Nona several times. You said that you just had to buy a house, but why did you have to buy a house from your master?

Furthermore, it's fine if you buy it, but he isn't there yet …

"Is that so?" The corner of his mouth twitched as he sneered. Situ Jin glanced at the guard unhappily. It seemed like he had been too easy to talk to these guys. These guys were getting more and more out of hand. Not only did they dare to disobey his orders, they couldn't even find a single person.

It was one thing if he couldn't find one, but he still dared to find an excuse.

"Yes, yes!"

Facing Situ Jin's smiling yet not smiling face, the guard was so scared that he hurriedly nodded his head.

He didn't know why, but all the hair on his body stood up.

"In that case, let's wait for her return."

A trace of a cold smile flashed across his eyes. Situ Jin pushed the door open and walked to the window. He casually leaned against the chair and slowly closed his eyes.

When the others saw this, they also began to find a place to sit down and rest.

Although they didn't know what Situ Jin was thinking, but they were very tired along the way. They were almost at the capital, so it was time for them to take a break.

Others might not be aware of this, but they were well aware of this situation. On the surface, it seemed as if the men responsible for protecting Situ Xi had suffered a great loss, but in truth, if they hadn't been secretly protecting her, then she probably wouldn't have been able to leave her mansion alive.

"Mistress, we have investigated thoroughly. Young Master Xi's men have just left the city early in the morning."

After an unknown amount of time, a black-clothed person quietly appeared in front of Situ Jin, bowed to him in a formal manner, and reported the information that he had received.

They had been protecting Situ Xi in secret the entire time, but now there were a large number of ambushes not too far away from Jincheng City. In order to give Situ Xi's group more time to escape, they had no choice but to stay behind and take care of those ambushing Situ Xi.

Fortunately, Situ Xi had left behind a secret signal for them along the way. They followed the signal all the way to Jincheng City.

"Out of the city?"

Situ Jin who was lying on the chair with his eyes closed suddenly sat up, as if he was asleep. His sharp eyes fell on the guard.

Immediately, the guard trembled in alarm.

In just a short period of one month, his master had become even more powerful. Just this single glance was enough to make people tremble in fear.

"Yes, yes …" "But …"

The guard quickly regained his senses and quickly nodded his head, but … However, he looked at Situ Jin as if he wanted to say something.

"Speak!"

Situ Jin glanced at him and snapped coldly.

The guard was shocked and immediately continued: "But … "Those people are indeed Young Master Xi, but they don't have the signal that Young Master Xi left behind."

That's right. Along the way, other than Situ Xi, no one else knew that there were people following them in the dark.

They had also followed the secret code left behind by Situ Xi.

He had indeed heard that someone had left the city. Moreover, he was certain that they were Situ Xi's men, but there wasn't a secret signal left behind by Situ Xi.

"Is that so?"

Staring at the guard expressionlessly, Situ Jin furrowed his brows.

Lowering his head, one hand supporting his chin, he seemed to be deep in thought.

According to Situ Xi's group's speed, they had arrived at Jincheng City a few days earlier, but they were quite a few days late. In other words, something must have happened while they were gone, and this matter was definitely related to Situ Xi …

Then...

A light flashed. Situ Jin seemed to have thought of something.

Suddenly, he stood up, "Get up, it's time to go!"

Although the guards didn't know what was going on, they still obediently followed after seeing that Situ Jin had left.

But...

After taking two steps, Situ Jin turned back and fished in his sleeves. Finally, he placed the five thousand taels of silver he received from the granny broker in the most conspicuous place in the hall. Then, he walked out with big strides.
