When I returned to the room, the room had been cleaned up again, but looking at the rearranged tables and chairs, it seemed that the fight just now had also spread here. Fortunately, I took Xiao Linzi downstairs, otherwise it would really have been... Passively involved in it.

Xiao Linzi naturally noticed the difference in the tables and chairs in the room. Seeing that the young master was not displeased, he didn't say much and helped Ning Xiao sleep, then lay down on the bed next to him.

Early the next morning, Ning Xiao declined the shopkeeper's invitation and left the inn towards Jizhou Mansion.

"Sir, wouldn't it be very convenient if we go to Jizhou Mansion with them?"

Ning Xiao sat on his horse, looking at the chaos in Jizhou Prefecture, and sighed. ,

"Xiao Linzi, do you know who those people are?"

Seeing Xiao Linzi shaking his head, Ning Xiao continued.

"The few people we saw in the lobby that day were normal guards, but the officers and soldiers the shopkeeper called for last night were not ordinary officers and soldiers. They were people in the army. Your young master, I could tell at a glance. , so they are soldiers.

And we are now in Jizhou Prefecture. If the army can be dispatched here, whose army is it? At this point, have you thought of anything? What is the purpose of our coming to Jizhou Prefecture? "

Xiao Linzi also suddenly realized it at this time, but he frowned again.

"Sir, since we are here to handle this matter, wouldn't it be easier to find the barracks if we go with those people?"

"What you said makes sense, but I don't want to expose myself, your young master. Since we are here to investigate, we naturally need to act in secret. It is better to act quietly. We have met them prematurely and have It’s not necessarily a good thing.”

The master and the servant chatted while walking. At noon, the master and the servant came to a river. Ning Xiao looked at the scene around him and found that it was not bad. It was very suitable for a spring outing. At this time, the grass beside the river was already somewhat cold-resistant. Weeds sprouted up.

"We will eat here today. You are ready to eat. Sir, I will go to the river to see if there are any fish. Maybe we can also drink fish soup!"

Naturally, Xiao Linzi took down the cooking supplies from horseback and arranged them. Ning Xiao went to the river to take a look and found that there were not many fish in the river in spring, but Ning Xiao still caught two. It's just a fish, but it's not big. One fish only weighs more than a pound, but it's enough to make some fish soup. ,

Carrying two fish back and giving them to Xiao Linzi to handle, Ning Xiao stood up and looked at the small woods not far away. He sighed in his heart. He didn't know who was following the two of them and didn't show up. Ning Xiao never bothered to pay attention. them.

These two people had been staying nearby since last winter when they were in Zhuangzi, neither approaching nor leaving. Ning Xiao wanted to talk to them several times, but finally held back.

He had a hunch that these two people knew his identity, and he also thought of their origins, but he couldn't figure out why the original owner didn't show up when he came home last year, leaving him to die of cold and hunger in the thatched hut. .

Ning Xiao actually didn't want to expose the two people who were following him, just for this reason, because if he knew the reason, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task given to him by the original owner, so in order to successfully complete this task, he could only Pretending not to know.

Xiao Linzi learned how to make fish soup from Chen Dalang's mother, Sister-in-law Chen. At that time, Xiao Linzi didn't want to learn, so it was Sister-in-law Chen who held his ear.

"Don't even think about it. You often go out with the young master. If you don't learn some cooking skills, when you go outside and the young master wants to eat, you haven't learned how to serve him well."

In this way, Xiao Linzi began to learn cooking skills from Sister-in-law Chen last winter. Unexpectedly, this boy was quite talented in cooking. The food he cooked made Ning Xiao very happy. From then on, a In winter, Xiao Linzi always stayed in the kitchen and learned cooking skills.

"Well, Xiao Linzi, this fish soup is very well made and very delicious."

Xiao Linzi was very happy when he heard Ning Xiao's praise and said.

"Sir, when we get to Jizhou Prefecture, we will rent a small courtyard, and then I will cook more delicious food for you."

After lunch, the two were on the road again. In the evening of the same day, the master and the servant rushed to Jizhou City. Due to the delay in their journey, by the time they arrived at Jizhou City, the city gate had already been closed.

"Okay, let's rest in this small forest outside the city for the night!"

Not long after the two entered the grove, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Ning Xiao looked towards the way he came and saw an army riding quickly towards the gate of Jizhou Mansion. .

"Sir, it's the shopkeeper and the waiter!"

Ning Xiao naturally saw it and nodded.

"Well, I guess their mission has been completed and they are back."

Sure enough, the group of people arrived at the city gate, said a few words to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the city gate opened, and the group of people quickly disappeared at the city gate.

Early on the next morning, the master and the servant packed up before dawn and rode towards the city gate. At this time, there were many people staying overnight in the woods, all of whom came here. It was late and we couldn't enter the city, so we stayed in the woods.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were already many nearby villagers bringing things to sell in the city, and the queue was already long. Xiao Linzi was smarter and bribed the officers and soldiers guarding the city with some broken silver, so Ning Xiao and Xiao Linzi and the two entered the city smoothly.

After all, it is the core of a prefecture. The entire Jizhou Prefecture looks like a decadent city, but this Jizhou Prefecture is still very good. The streets are very clean and tidy, with many shops. The clothes of the people on the streets are much better than those in other counties.

"Sir, should we stay in an inn or rent a small courtyard?"

Ning Xiao thought for a while, and realized that he came here this time to check out some unknown things about King An, so it would probably take a long time. Not to mention the inconvenience of staying in an inn, it would also cost a lot of money.

"Today we'll go to the inn first. After you settle down, you can go find the Yahang here and let's rent a yard."

Hearing that the young master had made arrangements, Xiao Linzi said no more. The two of them walked along the street and finally saw a pretty good inn, Cyclamen.

"Haha, young master, this is a good name, we will be immortals if we live in it!"

Ning Xiao smiled and remembered what the senior in the space once said. If his mission points reached 100, he would be able to cultivate immortality. By then, he might also be able to become an immortal.

I don’t know how many points I will get after completing this mission, but I still remember that I already have forty-five points.
