The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Zheng Chi did not find Zhao Xi at Zhuang Mu's place, nor did he find any suspicious traces.

This seemed to be a businessman who met Wang Muzhi by coincidence and saved him.

After Wang Muzhi was rescued, it was natural for him to be grateful to others.

Zheng Chi deliberately made things difficult and tested them, pointing out in public that Wang Muzhi had robbed Zhuang Mu and his group's boat.

Zhuang Mu's expression changed and he looked at Wang Muzhi in surprise.

Wang Muzhi's face also changed. He could forcibly requisition other people's ships privately, but if Zheng Chi knew about it and went to Panjing to sue him, he would be in big trouble.

His expression was stiff, and he was just thinking about how to start, but Zhuang Mu said, "So this is the ship you requisitioned. It is my honor to serve you. I have already arranged a good room for you in the cabin. Please don't mind. I am going to Panjing this time, so please take good care of me along the way."

These words clearly told Zheng Chi that the two of them had already had an agreement, and Zhuang Mu would also go to Panjing with them.

Wang Muzhi didn't expect that this man was so perceptive, worthy of being a businessman. He immediately nodded happily: "Brother Zhuang, you are too serious. I am disturbing you, so please don't think I am troublesome."

The two of them were laughing and talking. Zheng Chi was not able to stop them from quarreling, and he was very unhappy. He sneered and said, "In that case, I wish you two a safe journey."

He left after saying that, but he did not relax his search throughout the town.

When Zhuang Mu and his companions boarded the ship, the armored guards conducted a thorough search but did not find Zhao Xi and Pei Shuo.

Zheng Chi was puzzled, could it be that the person was no longer in the town?

The two of them had naturally gone far away. When Xu Yao discovered that Zheng Chi was also here, he realized that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

She asked Zhuang Mu to perform a play with her, and then she took Pei Shuo in a carriage to Panjing by land.

She deliberately left traces of Yuan Qingzong in order to frame him. Unexpectedly, Yuan Qingzong's status in Beichen was completely different from that in Dazhou.

But Zheng Chi and Wang Muzhi had never gotten along well with each other, and Wang Muzhi deliberately made things difficult for Zheng Chi, demanding that Zheng Chi find the murderer and give him an explanation, otherwise he would report to the Queen Mother and let the Zheng family deal with him properly.

Zheng Chi watched the man board the boat and leave, but because of his words, he was delayed in investigating clues in Lanjiang Town.

Xu Yao and Pei Shuo drove the carriage away from here. Pei Shuo originally wanted to drive the carriage himself, but Xu Yao asked him to sit in the carriage and regulate his breathing.

"Just follow my mental method and practice with peace of mind. You just experienced a fierce battle, and your internal energy is a little unstable. Stay still."

Xu Yao is very sensible and knows when to use strong medicine and when to let him rest.

The two men drove the carriage for a whole day, but missed the place to rest because they were unfamiliar with the place.

As it was getting dark, the two men chose a suitable place to dismount and rest.

Xu Yao lit a fire and shot two wild rabbits while collecting firewood.

Pei Shuo took the two rabbits and cleaned them up, then grilled them on the fire. The aroma filled the air and Xu Yao was slightly surprised.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"In the past, I would go hunting in the mountains when I had nothing to do. Yanyan likes to eat the meat I roast, so..."

Speaking of this inadvertently, he shut up uncomfortably.

Seeing that he couldn't forget his old love, Xu Yao didn't mock him. "Love is voluntary, there is no regret after loving, no matter who you have loved, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Pei Shuo paused and said, "Master, don't worry. I have let it go now. What happened between her and me can only be said to be a matter of fate. We are not destined to be together."

According to some novels Xu Yao has read, at this time, the male protagonist will either be obsessed with Bai Yueguang and be a licker like a dog, or he will turn love into hatred and will never let the woman go.

But Pei Shuo's eyes were really calm, as if he had really let it go.

Xu Yao was afraid that his character would be twisted, so he comforted him, "A real man should be able to let go of what he has. If you like her and can't let her go, you can pursue her again when you have the chance. Don't twist your heart and do something mean and vicious. This is not the mind of a real man."

Pei Shuo was surprised and tried to explain, but he heard the sound of weapons clashing.

Xu Yao stood up hurriedly. There were a few people running down the hillside not far away in a panic.

Looking at the situation, could it be that he was being robbed?

Xu Yao was just thinking about whether to meddle in other people's business when she heard Zhao Xi shouting in her body, "Save them."

"you sure?"

"Save the people first, I'll explain to you later, quick!"

Just as the gangster was about to chop the woman in front of him with a knife, Xu Yao threw a dart and shot the gangster dead on the spot.

Xu Yao asked Pei Shuo to stay where he was, but Pei Shuo followed.

Seven or eight robbers ran down the hillside. They were just small fry. Xu Yao easily dealt with a few of them and left the rest to Pei Shuo.

She climbed up a few steps, looked down over the hillside, and found that there were still many robbers.

Xu Yao rushed over very quickly and killed all the robbers. Those people were saved and were surprised and happy.

After making sure there were no other robbers around, Xu Yao asked Zhao Xi, "Who is this person? Do you really want me to save him?"

Zhao Xi looked at the mother and daughter leaning against the carriage in a panic, with a complicated expression: "This is my brother-in-law's aunt."

Xu Yao was surprised: "Qin Feiyun's aunt?"

She looked carefully and saw that even though the mother and daughter looked disheveled, their clothes were made of Shu brocade silk, and the jewels on their heads were not worth a fortune, but they were not cheap either.

There seemed to be a family crest on the carriage, which showed that this was definitely not an ordinary family.

Pei Shuo recognized the family emblem and whispered in Xu Yao's ear, "They are from the Beichen Danyang Marquis family."

Xu Yao was full of curiosity and wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhao Xi, but the mother and daughter came forward to express their gratitude: "Thank you two heroes for saving us. If it weren't for you today, my family would have died tragically here."

Before Xu Yao could say anything, a woman came running over anxiously, holding a four or five-year-old boy. When the lady saw her son, she rushed over and hugged him. "Xun'er, Xun'er, are you okay?"

When Xun'er saw his mother, he threw himself into her arms and cried.

Xu Yao stepped aside and let these people clean up the mess themselves.

She returned to the fire and sat down. The rabbit meat was a little burnt. Pei Shuo took the rabbit meat off, removed the burnt part, and handed the rest to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao took it calmly, and while eating the meat he asked Pei Shuo: "What kind of family is this Marquis of Danyang?"

"The Marquis of Danyang is a civil official, and he is quite famous in Beichen. The Marquis of Danyang of this generation is only in his thirties. His wife has given birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son has been named the Crown Prince and is now studying in the academy."

As he said this, he looked at the mother and her two children and guessed, "Judging from their attire, they should be the female members of the Danyang Marquis' family. I just don't know if they are the Danyang Marquis's wife."
