When Gu Nanxuan said in a trembling voice that the silver was gone, everyone was shocked. Pang Ya didn't believe it, so she reached into Gu Nanxuan's arms and searched, but still found nothing.

The waiter's smiling face just now disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of contempt.

"I'm telling you guys you're just kidding me, right? You have no money but are still messing around here. Do you have nothing to do?

Seeing that you bought so much at once, you must be from other places! I am telling you the truth!

Each person can only take five catties of food out of the city. If you take more than five catties, you need a written order from the city lord."

The waiter said this with great relief, who asked them to play tricks on him!

Qu Qiuning and his companions did not believe it at all. They thought that the waiter was making up stories to get revenge on them. How could he not allow them to take rice out of the city?

"Haha, you don't believe it? Then go ask someone else. Goodbye."

The waiter angrily drove Qu Qiuning and the others out to avoid being seen by the boss and being accused of not doing his job.

Qu Qiuning and his companions asked several grain shops and got the same answer from all of them: large amounts of grain were not allowed to be taken out of the city, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed. The reason was to prevent enemy spies from hoarding large amounts of grain.

Qu Qiuning frowned. Her silver was stolen and she had no money to buy food. Although she had silver in her space, she couldn't take it out openly!

Even if we buy the food, how do we transport it? Should we go to the city lord? I guess we won't even see him, and we'll get beaten up.

Without food, how will the villagers of Gujia Village survive?

Qu Qiuning didn't expect that buying rice would be so troublesome.

"Let's go and get the silver back first." Qu Qiuning said to the dejected Gu Nanxuan and others.

"Sister Qiu Ning, you must be joking. I don't even know where I lost this money. How can I get it back?"

Pang Ya was very depressed. It was her brother who lost the silver, a full twenty-eight taels. How could she explain this to the villagers?

"Don't worry, we can find it. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to go together.

So, let's find an inn to eat something and settle Pang Ya and Xing Lan down, then we can go and get the silver back with peace of mind. Let's go."

Gu Nanxuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Since the money is gone, let's not eat this meal. It's more important to find the money."

Since the money concerns the lives of all the villagers, how could he have the mind to eat!

Qu Qiuning saw Gu Nanxuan's worry and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely get the money back for you, don't worry!"

Qu Qiuning looked indifferent. In fact, even if she couldn't find it back, the worst that could happen was that she could find a chance to take out some of the money she had looted from Qu Xiang's wealthy family.

Besides, she has two gold bars given by the leader of the Hidden Clan in her space, so what is she afraid of!

The current problem is how to transport the grain, which is a very tricky issue.

Qu Qiuning led a group of people to look for an inn on the street and came to the door of an inn called "Come and Enjoy the Bliss".

Qu Qiuning stopped and began to look at the inn carefully.

Several people thought that Qu Qiuning was just here to take a look. After all, this was a high-end luxurious restaurant and inn, and ordinary people like them could not afford to stay there.

But Qu Qiuning just walked in. Gu Nanxuan and the others were so scared that they didn't dare to move their feet. They were also very worried that Qu Qiuning would be thrown out.

Qu Qiuning didn't notice any movement behind him, so he turned around and looked at Pang Ya and the others in confusion.

"Why don't you leave? Come in and eat! Aren't you hungry?"

Fatty bit her lip. She was not hungry at all, she was just worried that Qu Qiuning didn't have the money to pay the bill.

"Sister Qiu Ning, we are not hungry. Let's go eat somewhere else."

Fatty forced a smile awkwardly.

Qu Qiuning saw Pang Ya's concerns, turned around and said, "If you are not hungry, then I will go in and eat. Xinglan, come on, sister will take you to eat delicious food."

After Qu Qiuning said this, Qu Xinglan immediately ran to Qu Qiuning and took Qu Qiuning's hand with a smile.

Cheng Yi also followed in. Wherever Qu Xinglan went, he had to go.

"Oh, I'm almost fainting from hunger. If I don't eat something, I'm going to die." Song Yanfeng also followed him in.

Fatty gritted her teeth and pulled Gu Nanxuan in. Gu Daniu and the others had no choice but to follow her in.

"Sir, may I ask how many people you are here?" The inn waiter came over with a smile. He did not show any disgust when he saw that Qu Qiuning and the others were wearing simple and old clothes.

Instead, the people sitting in the lobby eating looked at him with contempt.

"Three rooms, and a table of meat and vegetable dishes."

After Qu Qiuning finished speaking, he took out a certain amount of money from his sleeve and handed it to the waiter, "This is a deposit, and you will pay it off when you check out."

The waiter took the silver with a smile and asked, "Sir, do you want to eat in the guest room or in the lobby?"

"Lobby, please hurry up, little brother. We are all hungry."

"Okay, sir, please come this way." The waiter led Qu Qiuning and his group to a large round table in the middle of the lobby and sat down.

"Sir, please wait. I will serve you tea right away."

After the waiter finished speaking, he immediately went to make arrangements and soon came back with a teapot, pouring tea for Qu Qiuning and his group one by one.

"Sir, please have some tea first. The food will be here later."

Fatty picked up the teacup and drank from it in big gulps. Gu Nanxuan and the other two also picked up the teacups and poured the water into their mouths.

Only Cheng Yi and Song Yanfeng elegantly picked up the teacup, put it to their mouths, and took a sip.

In an inconspicuous corner of the lobby, an ordinary man was sitting at a square table.

Ever since Qu Qiuning and his group entered the inn, this man has never taken his eyes off Song Yanfeng.

When he saw Song Yanfeng drinking tea, with his little finger and ring finger hidden under the teacup, he was so excited.

When his master drank tea, he held the cup with three fingers, with the little finger and ring finger placed at the bottom of the cup, pointing towards the chest.

Although the master's skin is darker now, his figure and facial features remain the same.

Something must have happened to the master, which caused him to become like this.

He was Song Yanfeng's personal bodyguard at night. He lost contact with Song Yanfeng in the Desperate Jungle and was hunted down afterwards. He searched everywhere for his master but to no avail.

Today, seeing that my master is still alive, I can finally put my mind at ease.

In another corner, a very beautiful woman was sitting at a square table. She was wearing a white long dress with tightly tied cuffs. She had a pair of big eyes under her willow-shaped eyebrows and a small oval face. She looked playful and cute.

Her eyes were fixed on Song Yanfeng, and the more she looked, the more panicked she became.

She, Ji Miaoxuan, the granddaughter of the chief of the Spirit Clan, met Song Yanfeng once at a conference and since then she has vowed to marry Song Yanfeng.

After learning the news that Song Yanfeng's family was wiped out and Song Yanfeng disappeared without a trace, she hid it from her mother and secretly left the spirit tribe alone.

After much inquiry, I found nothing. I didn't expect to meet someone who looks very similar to Song Yanfeng today.
