As the owner of the cage asked, everyone suddenly increased their vigilance. Ban Zou and the other hidden guards even moved to Feng Yu Heng's side to protect him.
The owner of the cage was frightened by their stature and repeatedly shook his hand. "Not that. That's not. Don't misunderstand me. Someone entrusted me with a message for a girl surnamed Feng and left something to pass on."
Huang Quan coldly asked. "How do you know that our young miss's surname is Feng?"
That person looked at Xuan Tian Ming and said. "Two days ago, a group of people came here to buy horses. Right before leaving, one of the men gave me ten taels, telling me that a group of people would come to Xiao Zhou in a few days. The group will be led by men and women. Women are about 12 or 13 years old, and men wear masks made of gold." While saying this, he shouted to a worker in the cage. "Hurry up and bring the leftovers!"
Not long after, a young clerk ran carrying the bag in his hand to Feng Yu Heng. The owner of the cage said. “This is the bag left behind on that day. I didn't dare to open it, but it felt so soft. It should be a cloth."
Ban Zou received the bag, and Wang Chuan came forward to open it. He then makes an "ah" sound". When he handed it over for Feng Yu Heng to see it, he spoke in a trembling voice. “That's young master's clothes.”
Feng Yu Heng immediately recognized Zi Rui's clothes. Just before leaving, the boy was wearing this set of clothes. There were some bamboo leaves on the sleeves of his own embroidered clothes. Her embroidery was very ugly, and Zi Rui laughed at her. But no matter how much she laughed, she still happily wore these clothes.
Xuan Tian Ming reached out and held onto Feng Yu Heng's shoulder to comfort her. He then asked the owner of the cage. "Did that person live in Xiao Zhou?"
The owner shook his head. "I don't know about that. They just bought a horse here and left this money and package. As for whether they remained in Xiao Zhou or not, sir, look how big Xiao Zhou is. If they go somewhere else to rest in an inn, I won't know it!”
This guy is speaking honestly. Xuan Tian Ming nodded and did not continue asking, but the palace owner thought for a moment and asked. “Listening to a good master accent, you should be from the capital, right? The group two days ago did not seem to be from the capital. The accents they have, they should be people from the North." While saying this, he leaned forward and quietly said. "As I see it, they don't look like good people. Good sir, you really must be careful."
Feng Yu Heng anxiously asked. “Do you see if the group has children with them?” Saying this, he reached into her sleeve and took out a silver bar, handing it to her, "Answer any questions I have. Tell me the truth."
But the young officer at the side tilted his head and said hesitantly. "It looks like they have a big dog!"
“Large dog?” This question was asked by Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tian Ming simultaneously. This question frightened the young officer, and his face turned pale. He no longer dared to continue speaking.
The owner of the cage kicked him. "What are you afraid of! If they tell you to talk, talk! That group of people did not seem to be good people. Right now, these people before us seem like good people!" Actually, he doesn't care about things like good people. He only felt that Feng Yu Heng had given him more money than the previous group. He also noticed that although these people looked a little haggard and liked to travel, their attitude was good, and their clothing materials were of high quality. If he took good care of these customers, he would be able to make a huge profit.
His slick appearance was instantly seen by Xuan Tian Ming, but this was the type of person he was looking for. As long as there was money, he could get information from her. Originally, he was planning to go to the military camp, so he did not spend a lot of money, however, they had placed a large amount of gold, silver, and paper money inside Feng Yu Heng's room. There were five extremely full chests in Feng Yu Heng's storage containing gold and silver. Just counting the banknotes alone, it was worth a million taels of silver that could be spent freely.
Then Xuan Tian Ming looked at the owner of the cage and said. "As long as you're honest, there's a benefit."
The young officer was awakened by the owner's kick. Receiving Feng Yu Heng's silver bar, he smiled happily and immediately said. “The man carried a large cage and covered it with a black cloth. Sometimes there is a sound of movement from within. I've heard screams coming from underneath. People say that it is a big dog, but it does not sound like a dog. Instead, it sounds like... someone.”.
Feng Yu Heng's legs suddenly went limp, and he almost fell down. Xuan Tian Ming supported him and pulled him into his embrace.
They did not continue to ask, as the hidden guards focused on choosing a horse to set off immediately. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan went with Ban Zou to a nearby store to buy food. When they departed once again, Feng Yu Heng thought that he had planned to come to this Xiao Zhou many times. He had even opened a Herbal Clinic and trained around ten young nurses. Especially since the Yun Lu Academy was here, he had always wanted to come and greet principal Ye.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. When he finally came to Xiao Zhou, he had no chance to greet anyone. He had to hunt chasing towards the North.
The enemy was clearly trying to make them chase to the North, but he did not know where the end was. Unless they could catch up along the way, it was very likely that they would enter Qian Zhou. That way, they will be completely surrounded.
