The man's hand grabbed Shen Wantang so hard that it hurt a little.

"If you want to be safe and sound, just be honest and don't say or do anything rash." Cen Xiao leaned close to Shen Wantang's ear and responded in a low voice.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at the pass and confirmed that it was correct before letting the people in.

Back in the carriage, Shen Wantang's eyes were fixed on Cen Xiao, watching his expression change from smiling to gloomy.

"Didn't the prince stay here for other things?" Shen Wantang asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's getting late, so of course I have to stay overnight in Mo County." Cen Xiao responded coldly.

Shen Wantang didn't say anything else, just nodded, then took out the token that Ji Xunchuan gave her, looked at it, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"If you had taken out this token just now, even if the county magistrate had already gone to bed, he would have been caught and brought to you." Cen Xiao glanced at the token in Shen Wantang's hand and snorted coldly, "By then, I'm afraid Miss Shen won't be able to get anything out of him."

Shen Wantang frowned and asked timidly, "I don't have a clearance certificate..."

Cen Xiao was stunned. He didn't know why, but this time when he went out, his heart was always led by Shen Wantang.

He took out a small booklet from his wide sleeves and handed it to Shen Wantang: "From now on, your identity is the wife who is going to Hong County to visit her relatives."

Looking at the booklet handed to him by Cen Xiao, Shen Wantang thought for a long time before taking the booklet.

"You'd better keep your golden token well and don't let those illiterate and greedy people steal it." Cen Xiao snorted coldly, glanced at the token, then slowly closed his eyes and leaned aside to rest.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the inn.

"We only have two rooms here." Looking at the three people, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, two rooms are fine. After all, you are husband and wife." Then, the shopkeeper immediately made amends.

Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao looked at each other, but the deputy general beside them was holding back his laughter.

"Then we'll have two rooms. Thank you, boss." Shen Wantang came forward and smiled indifferently.

After the registration was completed, the waiter took the three of them upstairs.

"Our inn is the best inn in Mo County. We have everything you need. Just tell me what you want to eat and I will go to the kitchen to inform you." The waiter said enthusiastically.

After bringing the person to the place, the waiter left.

The three of them stood in front of the two rooms, stunned for a long time.

"Excuse me, both of you, for squeezing into each other." Finally, Shen Wantang handed the sign of one of the rooms to the deputy general, and then pushed the door and entered another room.

Looking at the sign in his hand, the deputy general seemed to be thinking about something.

Forget it. Now, this is all I can do.

Cen Xiao glanced at the deputy general with disdain, then pushed the door open and walked in.

In the room, Shen Wantang rested for a while and then came to the window.

By opening the window, I could clearly see the pedestrians on the road below and the entire street scene.

This Mo County is really far inferior to Qingshui Town. Now, people have already started to rush home and there are few vendors on the streets.

In just an incense stick of time, the street became quiet and no one was left.

The jurisdiction of Mo County is not small, so why is Qingshui Town the only one like this?

Shen Wantang seemed to be thinking about something.

There is no rush to answer this question. Let's go to the yamen tomorrow and take a look, and we'll have a general idea.

The next morning.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Shen Wantang was sleepy and got up and dressed.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Cen Xiao standing at the door with an impatient look on his face.

"Prince, is there something wrong?" Shen Wantang spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse as he just stood up.

"I happen to be free today, so I can accompany you to Mo County to investigate." Cen Xiao coughed twice, raised his eyebrows, and spoke slowly.

It was you who said you didn't care, and now you are the one who says you want to take care of it. You are the only one who can be called a good guy or a bad guy.

Seeing that Shen Wantang didn't speak for a long time, Cen Xiao glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Then Sir, please wait for me for a moment. I will change my clothes and then go with you." Shen Wantang said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Cen Xiao could respond, the door suddenly closed.

Just like when she was in Qingshui Town, Shen Wantang changed into men's clothes and hid a dagger in her sleeve.

When everything was ready, there was another knock on the door.

"This, what is this?" As soon as he opened the door, Shen Wantang stood there in a daze, looking at the woman next to Cen Xiao.

The woman slowly put away the round fan in front of her, blinked her eyes, and looked at Shen Wantang with a seductive gaze.

"Young General?" Shen Wantang exclaimed, looking at the deputy general in front of him in disbelief.

A man of eight feet tall, wearing girl's clothes and tying his hair into a bun, is really...

"How about it, Miss Shen, can I be called a beauty of the country and heaven?"

The deputy general was very satisfied with his attire, and even turned around to show his skirt to Shen Wantang.

An awkward smile remained on Shen Wantang's face, shocking her so much that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Cen Xiao didn't even want to look at them, and hurriedly looked at Shen Wantang: "There are three of us here. If all three of us leave, I'm afraid the store owner will get suspicious. We can only..."

Shen Wantang then nodded, forcing a decent smile and nodded:

"The young general is truly... stunningly beautiful."

After this compliment, the deputy general put on airs and imitated the noble ladies in the capital, taking small steps and twisting his waist as he slowly walked into the room.

When she turned back, her eyes rolled and she threw a seductive look, she put her hand on the door frame and pinched her throat: "I'm right here, I hope you can come back soon."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Cen Xiao's forehead was already covered with blue veins. He slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

It would take him a long time to heal from the scene he had just witnessed.

Shen Wantang finally laughed out loud and looked at Cen Xiao beside him: "I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting person beside the prince."

Cen Xiao remained silent and did not want to make any further arguments for the deputy general.

During the day, Mo County is just like Qingshui Town, with vendors hawking their wares and children chasing and playing on the roadside.

"It seems that this rebel army is not as our emperor said." Cen Xiao said bluntly.

Shen Wantang's heart tightened, and she glanced over with a cold look. Only then did Cen Xiao shut up in disappointment.

"Don't talk nonsense when you are out," she said warily.

The situation in Mo County has not been clarified yet, so the more you say, the more mistakes you will make.

The two of them randomly found a passerby and asked about the location of the county government office.

"The county government office. Just follow this road till the end. However, the county magistrate went to the city gate early this morning. If you want to find the county magistrate, it is better to go to the city gate." The old man pointed the way enthusiastically and then said something else.

"Excuse me, old man, why did the county magistrate go to the city gate?"
