The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

She came to her senses and remained silent. When she went to find Jiang Tongpan, his residence had already been sealed off and the house was deserted.

Occasionally a few yellow fallen leaves float by, stirring up dust that adds a bit of desolation.

"Nan Mengdu no longer exists, how could he still be in the Tongpan Mansion?" Ying Wugui reminded Meng Xuanhe, which made him think of this.

Yangzhou is located not far from the border between the two countries. Compared to the fall of Bianjing, Yangzhou seems to have fallen into the hands of Northern Liang early on.

Because they were located at the border, they all fell into the hands of Beiliang following the defeat at the border.

Not a single soldier was lost, and no trace of Beiliang was left in the city, so much so that Meng Xuanhe was still in a daze that the city had taken the name of Xie.

All the Nan Meng officials in Yangzhou have resigned. Meng Xuanhe has no connection with Jiang Tongpan, so he has nowhere to go.

"Then I have to stay in the inn for one day." Meng Xuanhe sighed. The summer evening breeze was cooler than she had imagined. At this time of day on ordinary days, Yangzhou City was still brightly lit, lively and peaceful.

But at this time the streets were silent. The moonlight shone on the cobblestone streets, casting a faint blue glow, which made people feel desolate.

There were a few places in the inn where dim candlelight was still flickering. On the way to the inn, I passed by the Zuixianju restaurant, and it seemed that this place had never changed.

Even the war had no impact on this restaurant at all, which surprised Meng Xuanhe.

"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel?" As soon as Meng Xuanhe and Ying Wugui walked in, the shopkeeper came to greet them immediately.

Meng Xuanhe took a quick look around the inn. It was fairly spacious, but there were only a few dim candles, which looked a little weird in the quiet night.

The shopkeeper was about fifty or sixty years old, which was already gray at the temples in this era. His old face looked a little gloomy, making it difficult to see his expression.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper did not say anything like “there is only one guest room”, so Meng Xuan and Ying Wugui were separated into two rooms.

"Madam Wei, you really don't want to live in the same room with me?" Ying Wugui suddenly blinked innocently, his eyes suddenly became wet, which made me feel pity for her.

"As a girl, you should be more reserved. Sir, please don't be too anxious."

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and smiled, trying to smooth things over by saying that after all, the price of one room and two rooms are not the same.

Meng Xuanhe put the key to the door into Ying Wugui's hand and pulled him upstairs by the back of his collar. Perhaps because the guests had gone to bed early, the inn was still silent even though there were not many rooms left.

"Madam Wei, this inn is very strange. Are you sure you don't want me to protect you?"

Meng Xuanhe had already pushed Ying Wugui to the door, but Ying Wugui was reluctant to go in and instead asked in a faint voice.

"Thanks, but it's not necessary." An ordinary woman might be fooled by Ying Wugui, but Meng Xuanhe would not.

Seeing that Ying Wugui didn't go in, she ignored him and went to open her own room.

How could a grown-up like him get lost?

Meng Xuanhe didn't care about Ying Wugui anymore. After washing up, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The running around in the past few days had left Meng Xuanhe with no chance to rest. She was worried all the time. When she finally got a good night's sleep, she naturally fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

The candlelight outside the house flickered in the evening breeze, and the elongated shadow swayed more and more on the screen. The shopkeeper suddenly appeared upstairs, talking to someone in the candlelight.

"Where are the things?" The person who spoke was a woman, with a cold and distant voice. She was wearing a red and black robe and a black gauze hat on her head, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Of course it is." The shopkeeper still had a smiling face and took out a warm green jade pendant from his sleeve.

It is engraved with a double-ringed swimming dragon, which is exquisite and delicate, and it can be seen at first glance that it is the best jade.

It was indeed doubtful that such a small shop or inn could have such things, but the woman did not say much and threw a purse to the shopkeeper. The purse was very heavy.

As soon as the shopkeeper opened it, he saw a glittering golden light inside that made people unable to take their eyes away.

"Boss, you can give me this jade pendant now." The woman coughed slightly, as if to remind the innkeeper who was only focused on his money bag.

"Don't worry, girl."

The shopkeeper smiled and handed over the treasure in his hand. Just as the woman in red and black was about to touch the jade pendant, a man in casual clothes suddenly appeared behind her.

He is not very tall and has an ordinary face. If he were buried in a crowd, no one would notice him.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary person had such extraordinary skills, and he stabbed the woman with the sword in his hand.

Without any hesitation, the sword struck her so fast and fiercely that it blew a chill in her ears. She subconsciously dodged to the side. If it weren't for her sensitivity from martial arts training, she would have died directly under the sword.

The woman immediately understood what this meant and felt a little depressed.

She paid a lot of money, but the shopkeeper still had evil intentions. He was not surprised to see the woman dodge past him, but started to fight with her.

The only thing that surprised him was that this woman could actually exchange some moves with him, which showed that his martial arts skills were extraordinary. He even had a little difficulty keeping up with her movements.

After a stick of incense, the man was quickly defeated.

The shopkeeper saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly placed the jade pendant on the stove. The woman gritted her teeth, she really couldn't bet with such an important item.

Upstairs, a child of about 17 or 18 years old who got up to use the toilet accidentally bumped into the corner of the table. In the middle of the night, the loud bang caused all the people in the dark corners of the inn to rush out and surround every guest room.

Many guests woke up after hearing the noise, and when they opened their eyes, they found a shining sword blade on their necks.

If you are not careful, your soul will go to the west, so no one dares to act rashly.

"What are you going to do?" the woman in the red and black dress said coldly, clenching the sword in her hand again and again, obviously preparing to save these innocent people in the inn.

"If you are willing to stop here, then everyone in this room will be fine. But unfortunately the noise they made disturbed others. I will never let them live."

The shopkeeper said quietly, blaming all the misfortunes on the woman.

The woman gritted her teeth, her fingers trembling slightly.

"From the moment we entered the store, I'm afraid the shopkeeper has already figured out what we were wearing and how much money we had."

Suddenly, a man's contemptuous voice came from the attic.

"Who?" The shopkeeper immediately raised his head vigilantly and looked into the attic.

"It turns out that there is an accomplice of yours among the guests. Unfortunately, you will never get this Qingyu Linlang Pendant."

The shopkeeper sneered. Anyone who could speak at this time must not be an ordinary person. There was only one possibility, that is, the woman in front of him was in collusion with him.

After saying this, the shopkeeper reached out and took out the jade pendant from his sleeve.

Unexpectedly, the sound that was originally in the attic had already reached his ears.

"Are you looking for this?"

The man was wearing a crimson-purple gown, which was clearly made of coarse cloth, but it looked unusually noble on him. His eyes were cold and indifferent, but they had an innocent and charming look.

He played with the jade pendant in his hand, threw it high up, and then caught it steadily.

A jade-green light flashed by, and the woman in the red and black robe looked at the jade pendant flying towards her. Before she could react, she had already grasped it firmly.

"Ying Wugui?" The woman came to her senses only after she took the Qingyu Linlang Pendant. She immediately recognized the person in front of her.

When she took off the hat that was covering her face, a familiar face suddenly appeared, and a moment of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.

"Miss Yan, how are you?"
