Seeing Yuchi Chen's corpse hanging on the wall of the tower, Yun Ruo suddenly woke up from her dream and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yun Ruo Lu looked out of the window and saw that the sky was already starting to brighten up.

Yun Ruo Lu didn't know why she had such a strange dream. It was just that this dream made her feel a little afraid.

She didn't know why, but her heart was in chaos, and her heart was beating faster than she could control it.

In the past, if she dreamt that Yuchi Chen had died, she would definitely feel very at ease, even a sense of relief. But now, she actually didn't want Yuchi Chen to die.

However, in her heart, she still felt that Yuchi Xuan was more important to her than Yuchi Xuan. It was only because she couldn't be with Yuchi Xuan that she chose to accept him.

He had been thinking like this from the beginning, but things were slowly changing. Had she fallen in love with Yuchi Chen? How was this possible? The way Yuchi Chen had treated her in the past had caused her to hate him to the bones. How could she possibly fall in love with Yuchi Chen just because of that?!

Yun Ruo Lu felt a headache as she shrunk back into her blanket, allowing the darkness to surround her.

She did not want to think about it any longer. She had already left the capital, the world of Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan. Whether they lived or died, she should not care.

Yun Ruo Lu tried her best to calm down, but couldn't fall asleep anymore. Perhaps she was afraid of having that terrifying dream again, so she kept her eyes open until dawn.

When Jinxiu knocked on the door, Yun Ruo Lu came back to her senses.

When Jin Se entered, she noticed that Yun Ruo Lu did not seem to have just woken up. Furthermore, her expression was strange. She could not help but feel suspicious. She walked up to Yun Ruo Lu and asked: "Young master, what's wrong?"

"It's fine, we need to make some preparations. Let's go check on Ling Xiao's situation."

Yun Ruo Lu did not say anything. She had been thinking for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss.

Red Calyx suddenly told her to leave. Because of Meng Fei'er, she left without thinking. Right now, she didn't even know what the capital city looked like.

And the strange dream he had last night, was he hinting that something was going to happen?

Once again, Yun Ruo Lu thought of the soldier's letter. She had no idea what Yuchi Chen wanted to do.

His departure this time was smoother than usual. He didn't encounter any assassins or pursuers. Everything seemed too suspicious.

Yun Ruo Lu and Jin Se had breakfast at the inn and rushed to the pavilion outside the city to find Ling Xiao.

When they arrived, Ling Xiao was already waiting there. From the looks of it, everything was going smoothly.

Yun Ruo Lu walked into the pavilion. Without her asking, Ling Xiao happily took out an account book and passed it to Yun Ruo Lu: "Advisor Yun, look, you'll definitely be surprised!"

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had discovered some secret.

Without any hesitation, Yun Ruo Lu took it over and opened it. The number of people inside caused her to be stunned.

After flipping through a few pages, Yun Ruo Lu's eyes widened. This Tan Zhi County had actually embezzled over a million taels of silver. No wonder there were so many poor villages outside the Cloud City.

Not only that, but what surprised her even more was where the silver had gone to.

The night before yesterday, they had only moved 100,000 silver from the Tan Mansion, and there was still over 1,000,000 silver. The records in the books were that they were going to be used to withdraw troops to buy horses and forge weapons.

Furthermore, Yun Ruo Lu discovered that Tan Zhi County seemed to be working for someone, because behind every expense, there was a special symbol.

That mark seemed familiar to her, but she could not recall where she had seen it before.

"Advisor Yun, how is it? Can this really stop Tan Zhixian? "

Seeing the complicated look on Yun Ruo Lu's face, Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask curiously. He didn't really understand this account book, but he knew that there was quite a bit of information within it.

"Young master, this Tan Zhixian is too audacious. We must …"

Jinsi stood by Yun Ruo Lu's side and naturally saw the contents of the account book clearly. She was a little angry, but before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Yun Ruo Lu.

Yun Ruo Lu looked up at Ling Xiao, and said seriously: "You did well this time, and with this, we will be able to grasp Tan Zhi County's lifeline. Leave the rest of the matters to me, you and your brothers can go back and wait for further information. "

She did not tell Ling Xiao the whole truth, because she was afraid that this matter would involve more people and implicate them in the future.

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu say that she would be fine, Ling Xiao then calmed down and nodded, "Alright! Military Advisor, you go help yourself. My brothers and I will supervise the people of the Black Hawk Gang to prevent them from playing tricks on us again! "

Yun Ruo Lu had no objections, and asked Ling Xiao to leave without a word.

"Young master, are you going to look for Tan Zhixian yourself?"

After Ling Xiao left, Jin Se finally opened her mouth and continued the conversation.

Yun Ruo nodded her head, but didn't explain anything. This was because since Jinsi had seen it, she should have understood what was going on.

"A small county like this dares to enlist troops. There must be a powerful figure backing them up. Young Master, since we have decided to stay away from all this, why don't you just mind your own business? "

She had always felt that there was an unusual aura on Yun Ruo Lu's body. That aura was really worrisome.

"Jin'er, do you want to see all the civilians suffer?"

Yun Ruo Lu's tone was downcast. Such a tense recruitment meant that they were plotting a war. Although she had a premonition that the person behind Tan Zhi County was someone she knew, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Jin Se knew that it was useless to say anything more, so she could only shut her mouth and pout in grievance. She didn't have much ambition, so she didn't think that she could save the world. She only hoped that her young mistress could be safe.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that her tone was a bit too harsh, so she comforted softly, "Jin'er, don't worry. I know what to do. Everything will be fine."

"En, no matter what danger is in, Jin'er will always stay by Miss's side."

Jinther sniffed and gave Yunruo a silly smile, which made her feel extremely comforted.

Jin'er was someone who had been by her side without any regrets ever since she came to this world. She had suffered many punishments for her, and the relationship between them was no longer that of a master and a servant. They were like sisters that cared for each other.

"Silly girl, let's go. There's going to be a good show later!"

Yun Ruo tapped Jin Se on the head, then turned and walked out of the pavilion towards Tan Zhi County's mansion.

When Yun Ruo came to the Tan Mansion, the Tan Mansion had already been thrown into chaos. In these two consecutive days, the Tan Mansion had lost the two most important things, how could it not be a mess.

In the beginning, the guard at the entrance had blocked Yun Ruo You from entering, and did not let her in.

However, when Yun Ruo Lu stated her purpose for coming here, the guard at the entrance was immediately stupefied. He stumbled as he ran into the manor to report.

They probably had never met someone who dared to come knocking after stealing something.

This was the first time Yun Ruo had openly entered the Tan Residence with Jinsi. Not long after they had entered the courtyard, guards rushed out from all directions to surround the two of them.

Yun Ruo Lu did not mind and continued to walk forward, but the guards did not dare to act rashly.

Tan Zhixian heard that the man who stole the account book had come looking for him. He came running out from the backyard, and when he saw Yun Ruo, he was suddenly enlightened.

"It's you?" Where is it? If you hand it over, we can still spare your life! "

Yun Ruo Lu was not curious about how Tan Zhi County knew her. Tan Zhi County would naturally pay attention to anyone who could cause the Black Hawk Gang to betray her.

Yun Ruo Lu snorted, and laughed: "I'll give it to you here? I'm afraid that's not good! "

Tan Zhixian immediately understood the meaning behind those words. He immediately dismissed all the guards and brought Yun Ruo Lu to his study room for a private conversation.

He had clearly seen how Yun Ruo Lu had killed half of the Black Hawk Gang's men yesterday, so even if his men were here, he was afraid that it wouldn't have any effect.

Inside the study room, there were only Yun Ruo Lu and Tan Zhi Xia. Jin Se stood guard outside the door, so no one outside knew what they were talking about.

Tan Zhixian looked like a turtle, but in reality, he was very cunning and insidious.

Tan Zhi County sized up Yun Ruo Lu seriously. With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Since you dared to come find me after stealing my account book, you must have something to do with the matter of my bank account being stolen, right?"

"To be able to think of all these means that you are not stupid. Can you guess the purpose of my visit?"

Yun Ruo Lu did not deny it. Because the account book was in her hands, she did not believe Tan Zhi County would dare to ask her for more silver.

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu admit it, Tan Zhi County's face turned green. He said in an unfriendly tone: "I don't need the money you stole, but you have to return the account book to me!"

"Hehe, since the account book is in my hands, you don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me!"

"Then what do you want?"

Tan Zhixian was so anxious that he was sweating. For the sake of the account book, he had to obey orders.

"It's simple. You just have to tell me who ordered you to secretly recruit men to make weapons and I will return the account book to you!"

Yun Ruo Lu did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point and stated her conditions.

Tan Zhixian's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning and vigilance. He stared straight at Yun Ruo Lu and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Don't be afraid. I'm just a thief who took advantage of the rich to help the poor, a thief who killed people for their sake. Why are you being so nervous?"

After all, Tan Zhixian being so sensitive was not a good thing for her, because if she did, she would not be able to learn any more secrets.
