Chapter 126: A Hun (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

With her disguise, hardly anybody could recognize her. Originally, she had planned to hire a horse-drawn carriage and get out of the city above board.

But unexpectedly, the city had been sealed up.

The Seventh Prince?

How did that Zhou Feiyu know she was in this border city? And he also sealed off the city to search for her, which got a lot of people involved.

Now that leaving this city in an aboveboard manner was no longer an option, she had no choice but to leave at night. If she tried to get out during daytime, other trouble might come to her apart from the two assassins.

She had the horsekeeper take her to the busiest street and find a large inn.

She had just checked in and hadn't gone upstairs yet when a group of soldiers flooded into the inn.

”Innkeeper, did you see a black-faced female with purple eyes come here?” the soldier leading the team yelled in a gruff voice. Almost all people in the inn could hear him.

The innkeeper, who seemed to be a sophisticated man, hurriedly walked up to him with a big smile.

”Sir, I've been standing behind the counter all day, but I didn't see anybody with a black face. If you don't believe me, I can have the bellman lead you upstairs to search the rooms. But would you please be so kind as to do it quietly so that my guests won't be scared?”

Upon these words, the innkeeper stealthily stuffed a big silver ingot into the soldier's hand.

The ferocious look on the soldier's face was replaced by a smile. He secretly put the silver ingot into his pocket and said, ”Now that you told me there was no such person here, I'll go and search another place. But if you see that black-faced woman, report immediately.”

”Yes, yes. I'll follow your order and keep an eye open. Once I see anyone with a black face, I'll report to you right away, Sir.”
