Chapter 257 Lou Yexue's Goal Achieved
Hearing Lou Yexue directly call out Zhai Yun's name, he looked at Zhai Yun carefully in disbelief.
Impossible! Even if Feng Chenyi came, Zhai Yun wouldn't recognize this dazzling white-clad man. What's his background?
Looking at Yan Nanheng's shocked expression, Zhai Yun was equally puzzled. But when she thought of him as someone who could communicate with the yin and yang, she understood that he couldn't see through a mere disguise technique.
How could they possibly be worthy of such extraordinary power!
Zhai Yun slowly turned around and looked at Lou Yexue, whose eyes were calm and whose white clothes were as white as snow. His jade-like face was like a work of art, which would shatter at the slightest touch, like a mirage.
Zhai Yun wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. Yan Nanheng, whose mind was filled with a million questions, stared blankly: "You...you..."
He really didn't want to admit that Lou Yexue had seen through his disguise so easily. In short, he couldn't admit it himself that Zhai Yun was indeed Young Master Rui.
Lou Yexue patted her pockets in a distant and indifferent manner: "We've been out for too long and we don't have enough money. Could you help us find a place to stay?"
He completely ignored the surprise in Zhai Yun and Yan Nanheng's eyes, as if this was nothing out of the ordinary, and that Zhai Yun and Yan Nanheng's overreaction was due to their limited knowledge.
Not enough money? If Zhai Yun remembered correctly, the black markets in Fengling City and Songbai City, which are located at the border of the four kingdoms, all belonged to him, and they contained rare treasures and medicines.
Zhai Yun's expression of surprise deepened at this moment; the sable fur coat he was wearing seemed to be priceless.
Yan Nanheng pulled Zhai Yun away. He felt from the bottom of his heart that this group of people were not simple. Their lack of money was just an excuse. People who could see through his disguise could not be stumped by a small county government office.
In short, his motives are impure!
Zhai Yun stopped, no matter how hard Yan Nanheng tried, he couldn't pull her up an inch. Yan Nanheng looked utterly hopeless. She really was just like her senior brother, a stubborn fool. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it.
Zhai Yun's thinking was rather simple. Since she was going to find Lou Yexue anyway, and Lou Yexue had taken the initiative to come to her, why wouldn't she accept? After thinking it over, Zhai Yun said, "Go to Hongfu Inn, find the manager, and put the bill for room number one in the top tier on your tab!"
To avoid trouble, Zhai Yun paid a thousand taels of silver for the room as soon as she checked in and instructed the innkeeper not to disturb her unless necessary.
With this thousand taels, plus Lou Yexue and her group, they could easily eat and stay for ten to fifteen days.
After giving the instructions not to linger, Zhai Yun led Yan Nanheng to inquire along the way and headed towards Lotus Lane.
As Ruan Ziyan watched Zhai Yun and Yan Nanheng disappear, a look of worry appeared in her eyes: "City Lord, it seems that Young Master Rui does not believe what we said."
Lou Yexue lightly tapped and pinched with her slender fingertips, calculating that Zhai Yun was not in danger on her journey, and then stopped.
A cold aura permeated Zhou Shen. "If she believed that, she wouldn't be Zhai Yun."
He deliberately planned to meet her. He calculated that she would go to prison, so they went into the city. When the yamen runners accused him of some fabricated crime, he did not resist.
This descent down the mountain was arduous and full of twists and turns. After searching high and low, we finally discovered that the most likely person was someone we had met from the very beginning, someone with a circular mark on his palm.
The mark appeared suddenly, revealing memories that were unfamiliar even to him. Those memories were vague, but he could clearly understand that he needed to find someone.
Find someone you used to know, and once you find her, take her back with you.
Lou Yexue watched as the light of the mark gradually faded away after Zhai Yun left. This memory mark would light up when it encountered someone related to it.
Actually, it had lit up before, but at that time, he didn't know why. It wasn't until he risked backlash and desperately tried to peek into the memories within the mark that this little bit of it was revealed.
What truly made Lou Yexue decide to return to find Zhai Yun was some rumors he heard in Xuanyuan Kingdom: that the Prince Rui of Fengli Kingdom had been ambushed at Yixiantian.
King Rui, who had already passed away, was rescued by Zhai Yun alone from the military camp of hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Xuanyuan Kingdom, and later came back to life!
In his memory, the person he was looking for had this ability.
Lou Yexue brushed the dust off his white clothes, thinking that as long as the goal was achieved, that was enough.
When Zhai Yun and Yan Nanheng found Lotus Lane, Qi Nuo also received the news and met up with them. Along the way, Zhai Yun thought about many possibilities, wondering if the person who killed Consort Chen had already noticed.
They deliberately set an ambush, hoping they would never return, but everything went smoothly along the way.
As soon as they arrived at the door, Qi Nuo reported, "Young Master, I have received information that Fu Yiming, a disciple of the Grand Preceptor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, is also in Yanping Town and seems to be temporarily staying in this area."
Zhai Yun, who had been puzzled, now understood that the person in the courtyard was undoubtedly Fu Yiming.
Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng, one on each side, kicked open the courtyard gate and rushed into the courtyard. The small courtyard was completely empty, except that the door behind them was closed after they entered.
The men who closed the door were plainclothes men who had been hiding behind it beforehand. They were well-trained and clearly not ordinary people.
Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng shielded Zhai Yun in the middle, and Qi Nuo warned, "Make your master come out!"
As soon as Qi Nuo finished speaking, a man dressed in light blue clothes flew down from the flower stand. Zhai Yun looked closely and saw that it was Fu Yiming, who was there to greet Xuan Yuanche's bride.
Yan Nanheng couldn't help but sigh, "Qi Nuo's information was really accurate. He really was just playing tricks!"
Zhai Yun brushed aside Qi Nuo and stepped forward. Her gaze towards Fu Yiming became inquisitive. Since the three of them were still in disguise, Zhai Yun could only say, "You really have plenty of free time, coming here to meddle in other people's business!"
It is against the rules for the envoy not to return to the capital in time to report back and instead to linger in Fengli Kingdom!
Zhai Yun was certain that Lian'er had been taken away by him, after all, only he and his master had this ability in the world.
Fu Yiming looked at the three people in front of him with some surprise in his eyes. These three were unfamiliar faces and there was something strange about them.
As early as when Zhai Yun led Qi Nuo out of the Prince Rui's mansion and rode in the carriage of the Grand Preceptor of Fengli Kingdom out of the city, he received news from his spies who were monitoring every move of the Prince Rui's mansion.
As luck would have it, many years ago, the Xuanyuan Kingdom had been exposed to a shocking scandal from the Fengli Kingdom. At that time, the Xuanyuan Kingdom even sent spies to investigate the whole story.
Consort Chen, who was once the most beloved concubine and had made a vow to be with Emperor Xing'an for life, was murdered on her way out of the palace, and the Second Prince Feng Chenyi disappeared without a trace!
It's true that Lian'er was taken away by his orders, but he didn't want to wait for these three unfamiliar faces.
Fu Yiming opened his fan with a "whoosh" and waved it intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes swept over the three of them, and his voice was still polite: "Since Young Master Rui has come in person, why not show yourself?"
Qi Nuo became wary, her eyes filled with suspicion as she looked at Fu Yiming: "If you want to find my young master, you should go to the capital."
