Maid Lu and Liu Ruyan were shocked, Liu Ruyan did not say anything for a long while, and started to ponder about the man in white's identity and intentions.

Just by looking at his luxurious clothes, one could tell that he was a young master from a wealthy family. However, he did not know if he had connections with the Shangguan family.

Tonight's farce could not be blown up no matter what. Since Maid Lu did not say anything, and only said a few words and did not reveal herself, it was probably better than being trapped in this tavern.

”Young master, if you really want to report to an official, why don't you go tomorrow. It's already late, perhaps the Shangguan Family is already resting. Young master has a lot of capable people by his side, could it be that he's afraid of that thief running away?”

”We have to let them go. Even if this man is extremely daring, it would still be inappropriate for him to cause such a ruckus in the middle of the night. Young master, is it true?”

Liu Ruyan raised her hand and pulled down the reed hat on her head. Her voice was also lowered, making him sound like a weak man.

The surrounding people started to discuss, some pointing at Liu Ruyan, trying to guess her identity.

Zhuang Lu Sheng and Lin Xiaode turned their heads, and the two big and burly men looked at each other coldly, scaring those people into not daring to speak anymore.

He was speechless for a moment.

After a while, the man in white snorted coldly and said: ”This young brother is so low-key, wearing a reed hat and looking down, could it be that there is something shameful about him?”

”Young master is thinking too much. It's just that I don't want to add fuel to the fire when I'm outside.” Liu Ruyan could not help but frown, her intuition told him that this person was extremely troublesome to deal with. It was already midnight, so it would not be good to continue tangling with him.

He then threw down a sentence, ”I hope that young master can be merciful and forgive me. Don't make any more noise.”

With that, Liu Ruyan turned and returned to her room, and before leaving, she gave Maid Lu a meaningful glance.

Maid Lu and the two guards understood, and stopped at the fence for a while.

The man did not continue to make things difficult for the two bandits. He merely instructed the person beside him in a cold voice, ”Tie them up. It seems like this will continue for the time being.”

The shop owner heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to look at the fence on the second floor, but there were no traces of Liu Ruyan and the rest.

Only then did the onlookers disperse. Since the people involved had already stopped pursuing the matter, the onlookers naturally dispersed as well.

It was already very difficult to sleep, and after being made a ruckus by the man, Liu Ruyan did not sleep at all for the entire night.

To prevent herself from getting into unnecessary trouble, Maid Lu got up early the next morning and left the Li Mi County with Liu Ruyan.

Since they were going to look for Liu Yuanzhan, they couldn't stay too long in one place.

Since he wasn't out for a sightseeing trip, his pace naturally became much faster.

They rode for several days without stopping, day and night. Finally, they moved away from the capital.

At the same time, in the capital, the spy from the royal palace had also reported.

The night was as cold as water, a bright moon hung high in the sky and Lian Chengming sat in the secret room. It was dark inside with no lights, and only the moonlight outside the window could be seen, illuminating the entire secret room.

Lian Chengming was dressed in profound robes, as though he had blended into the night. He closed his eyes and sat on the bed, holding a string of buddhist beads, the entire room was deathly silent.
