She pulled her hand out of Cen Xiao's hand, but her frown remained on her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Shen Wantang staggered to the couch, turned his head, and lowered his eyes in a hint.

Cen Xiao understood instantly, just nodded, and then turned and left.

Shen Wantang took out the pills that she had prepared to relieve the pain from her luggage, took one, and then fell asleep on the bed.

The sun rose quickly and soon it was already noon.

Perhaps it was because of the snoring coming from the deputy general's room, or because of what happened to Shen Wantang just now, but Cen Xiao felt confused and uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the first thing I saw was the stewed chicken held high. The proprietress smiled brightly and said enthusiastically: "Didn't that young man say he wanted to eat chicken? Well, I stewed the chicken, how about it!"

After traveling in a hurry for dozens of days, this is the first time I smell such a fragrance.

Cen Xiao's eyes flickered, but he still looked calm: "Wait a moment, I'll go wake them up."

The proprietress nodded repeatedly, turned around and walked downstairs: "Then I'll wait for you three downstairs!"

Arriving in front of the deputy general's door, Cen Xiao knocked on the door and said sternly, "The boss lady has stewed chicken. If you are late, it will be gone."

After leaving a few words, he walked towards Shen Wantang's room.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened. He couldn't even see who was coming in. He only saw a shadow running out and going straight downstairs.

The deputy general was looking forward to it. He sat at the table and looked at the proprietress eagerly: "Madam, where is the chicken?"

In front of Shen Wantang's room, Cen Xiao hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"The boss lady has prepared lunch." Cen Xiao cleared his throat and said loudly.

But there was no response in the room for a long time, and Cen Xiao couldn't help but frown.

"Shen Wantang!"

He clenched his fist and knocked on the door, the sound was much louder.

The two were separated by only a door.

On the bed in the room, Shen Wantang's hands were tied tightly, a piece of white cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and the hemp rope around her neck was tied tightly, making her unable to make a sound.

His eyes were bloodshot and two lines of tears slowly fell.

The man behind him became stronger and held the reins tightly - today, Shen Wantang would definitely die!

boom!

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Cen Xiaoliu rushed over. He kicked up the stool beside him, and with a sweep of his leg, the stool flew towards the man in black.

In order to dodge, the man in black loosened his grip and Shen Wantang fell down. He rolled to the side, gathered all his strength in his legs, and kicked the man in black hard.

Cen Xiao rushed forward and instantly, the two of them started fighting.

The deputy general downstairs was very hungry, but the people upstairs were reluctant to come down.

He became anxious and suddenly stood up and ran upstairs.

As soon as I reached the second floor, a loud noise echoed in my ears. I saw the wall was suddenly broken open, and a man flew out and landed at the feet of the deputy general.

The deputy general reacted very quickly and suddenly stepped on the man in black.

"Oh my God! What are you doing? Are you going to destroy my shop?" The proprietress was shocked. Her shrill voice echoed in the inn, and she ran upstairs in small steps.

The deputy general leaned over and was about to take off the mask of the man in black, but the man in black who was struggling just now was dead.

After taking off the mask, a hint of blood slowly emerged from all seven orifices.

The deputy general stood up and shook his head helplessly.

"Oh!!"

The proprietress who came hurriedly saw the man in black lying on the ground at a glance. She screamed in fright and stamped her feet in anxiety.

"You you! What are you doing?" The proprietress's face turned red and her voice began to tremble with anxiety.

Cen Xiao turned around and went to the room.

Shen Wantang was lying on the bed, his face pale and bloodless.

Cen Xiao hurried forward and freed her hands that were bound behind her back, with a cold look on his face: "Are you okay?"

Shen Wantang no longer had the strength to speak and just shook his head.

"Don't worry, this matter will not affect you at all. We will definitely handle it." The deputy general explained hurriedly and leaned over to start searching the man in black.

"People are dead, what's the point of saying all this! Oh my God, I'm so unlucky! How could I run into people like you!" The proprietress cried, and she didn't stop complaining.

The only people who can commit suicide by taking poison are the dead.

Since he is a death warrior, naturally no token of trust can be found on him.

But the deputy general has his own way.

He forcibly stripped the black-clad man of his clothes, handed them to the proprietress, and asked, "Do you know where I can buy this dress?"

"Oh! You filthy bastard! Get out of my way!" There was another scream that seemed to burst the eardrums, but this time, the proprietress's hands also began to slap the deputy general.

The deputy general sighed helplessly and rubbed his chest with his other hand.

But after a moment he took his hand out, spread out his palm, and a piece of silver lay quietly in his palm.

In an instant, the proprietress stopped worrying and took the money back without saying a word.

He glanced at the clothes in the deputy general's hand with disgust, and thought for a moment: "Ordinary people like us naturally wouldn't use this kind of material, but the dark pattern on this dress looks like it came from a ready-made clothing shop in Hong County."

Hong County?

The deputy general's eyes darkened.

After dealing with the bodies of the dead soldiers, the deputy general went to Shen Wantang's room.

After resting for a while and taking some pills, Shen Wantang's complexion improved a lot.

"Hong County?" Cen Xiao's eyes darkened and he looked at the deputy general sinisterly.

Shen Wantang's heart tightened and his hands clenched involuntarily.

"Now that many people know that we are going to Hong County, I am afraid that various forces may send people to assassinate us." The deputy general analyzed.

Seeing that Shen Wantang looked unhappy, Cen Xiao waved his hand and signaled the deputy general to leave.

"What does the prince think?" Shen Wantang asked softly.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Everyone knows how skilled Miss Shen is. Isn't it a bit overestimating her abilities to send a small minion like this to deal with you?"

This is exactly what Shen Wantang was thinking.

But now General Shen is in Hong County. If this assassin is really from Hong County, I am afraid that General Shen will be in a bad situation...

Shen Wantang's heart tightened: "How long will it take from here to Hong County?"

"One day." Cen Xiao said without hesitation.

"Let's leave early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid something might happen in Hong County." Shen Wantang had a bad feeling in his heart.

Cen Xiao didn't ask any more questions, just nodded. He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes covered the unspeakable emotions in his eyes.

After resting for a night in the inn, the proprietress was terrified all night.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was getting light, the three of them prepared to set off.

"Finally, we've sent these ancestors away!"
