A car accident, our family of three crossed

At this time, Old Man Xin had already reached the outskirts of the city. After leaving the city, he took the official road and no longer tried to hide his whereabouts. He was soon spotted by several groups of people.

The groups of people followed Old Man Xin at a distance, neither too far nor too close, until he stopped to rest at an inn on the official road. The people who were following him had no choice but to disguise themselves and sneak into the inn.

As soon as Old Man Xin entered the inn, he ordered a table full of food and wine. Perhaps it was because he had been staying at the Hang family's house recently and his taste buds had been spoiled by Song Ning. Now, eating the food outside was as tasteless as chewing wax.

He spit it out after eating a few bites, shouting, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! What is this? It tastes so bad."

The waiter saw something was wrong and hurried over to check: "Sir, is there anything wrong?"

"I say, do you know how to cook? This is so awful." Old man Xin caught the waiter and started yelling at him. What he meant was nothing more than how awful the dishes cooked in the inn were and how such good ingredients were wasted.

How could the waiter tolerate the dishes cooked by his own inn being devalued like this? In addition, the old man seemed to be a bit of a rogue, so he immediately questioned: "I say, you old man, you said so much, you don't want to eat and drink for free, do you?"

However, the old man was not relenting: "Pah! Who do you think you are? Even dogs won't eat this stuff, and you still want to ask me for money? No way."

After saying that, he wanted to quit and leave, but how could the waiter let him leave the inn so easily? "Humph! If you don't give me money, don't even think about leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, several ferocious-looking men holding machetes jumped out from the backyard of the inn and blocked the door of the inn.

"I want to see who is so bold as to cause trouble on my territory." A pot-bellied man wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife came out from the backyard, shouting.

When the waiter saw the man coming, he ran up to him and complained, "Boss, this old man is causing trouble. He ordered a table of dishes and wanted to leave without paying."

"You can't let me say the food is bad? I can't even eat a bite, why should I pay?" Old man Xin was blocked by people in front and behind, not afraid at all, and even provoked: "What? Bullying an old man? I won't give you money, what do you want to do!"

"Humph! Damn old man, I think your life is coming to an end. Come on, tie up this ignorant old man for me."

How could the big-bellied shopkeeper bear such provocation? He gave an order and his men started to take action.

Seeing this, the group of people sitting in the corner of the inn could no longer sit still and hurriedly spoke up to stop them: "Wait a minute."

The leader of the group came out and said, "I'll pay the old gentleman's bill." He threw a silver ingot over and said, "I hope you won't make things difficult for the old gentleman."

As soon as the shopkeeper caught the flying silver, he felt his whole arm go numb. It seemed that he had met a tough opponent.

Old man Xin accepted the fact that others paid for him with peace of mind. He pushed aside the people blocking the door and walked out with a swagger.

The people in the inn looked at each other, and left the inn one after another. They followed Old Man Xin into a small forest and then lost him.

Openly, the group of people who had just paid the money for Old Man Xin were anxiously looking for people in the grove, while secretly there were still no less than two groups of people taking action. The groups did not interfere with each other and everything was peaceful for the time being.

"I said, are you annoying?"

The voice sounded overhead, and the leading man looked up suddenly, only to see the old man hanging upside down on the tree, swinging back and forth like a swing. Having experienced being drugged by the old man before, the man stepped back cautiously.

Old Man Xin fell from the tree. "You guys are really persistent. You've slept for three days and you still managed to find this place. I think you didn't get enough sleep!"

After saying that, he shook his hand, and the man instantly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He did a somersault backwards and jumped several meters away.

Thinking of this, the man felt ashamed. They had been tracking the old man all the way from the capital, but they didn't expect that he would knock them out with a handful of medicine and make them sleep for three whole days.

Fortunately, the place where the old man knocked them unconscious was not in the wilderness, but in a dilapidated temple, so they did not have to sleep in the wilderness, otherwise they would have been dead by now.

But when they woke up again, there was no trace of the old man. Although they had searched for him in many ways over the past few days, it was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they found this place today, this old man appeared out of thin air and appeared within their search range, which made him think more about whether this old man deliberately let them find him.

Retracting his thoughts, the man bowed to the old man and said, "We are only following orders. Please come back to the capital with us, old sir." As long as they could invite the old man back to the capital, their mission would be accomplished.

The old man leaned against the tree trunk, took out the wine flask from his waist and took a sip. He had put it on when he left the Hang family. "Forget it, I'm going to the capital this time anyway."

The man was surprised and happy when he heard this, but before he could be happy for a moment, the old man waved his hand and said, "I'll wait for you in the next town. Remember to come early to pay for the drinks." Before he finished speaking, the man had already walked away from them for quite a distance.

Seeing this, the subordinate asked the man, "Boss, what should we do? Should we chase him?"

The man shook his head: "It's useless. If he really wants to leave, we can't catch up with him."

"Hey, you're a good kid who knows your place." The old man's voice floated from afar, echoing in the grove, "Wipe your butts clean. I hate these flies buzzing around me the most."

Upon hearing this, the man winked at his men. They were not unaware of the people following them these days, but they just didn't want to cause any trouble, so they turned a blind eye.

Those people hiding in the dark had not yet reacted to being compared to flies, and suddenly felt the danger coming. In a flash, several groups of people started fighting.

In a short period of time, they had fought dozens of rounds. The group was dealing with multiple groups of people at the same time, but they were still not at a disadvantage.

The man didn't want to get too entangled with these people, so he showed a token and said in a loud voice: "We are under the command of the emperor to track down the whereabouts of the poison master. Anyone who dares to do bad things will be killed without mercy."

The other groups of people were a little wary when they saw them reveal their identities. It's not that they didn't know the other party's identities, but since the other party didn't reveal them, they pretended not to know.

But now, the other party has used the palace token as evidence to reveal his identity. If he dares to take any further action, it would be blatant opposition to the court.

Several groups of people looked at each other. They did not dare to act rashly without asking for permission. After thinking it over again and again, the first group of people left.

Seeing this, the other groups of people did not dare to act recklessly and left one after another...
