At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

After washing his hands, Yu Yunxin lowered her head to shake off the water on her hands. Nangong Lin immediately took Yu Yunxin's hands and helped her wipe them dry with a handkerchief. Wuming stared at the intimate posture of the two people in front of him and immediately stopped. He picked up the little tiger cub, jumped up, and left quickly like a flying bird.

In the kitchen of the village, Nangong Lin was concentrating on cutting venison with skillful and neat techniques. Yu Yunxin on the side was busy cleaning the venison intestines and carefully mixing the cut venison with various seasonings. This warm and harmonious scene happened to be witnessed by Qiu Shuang and Er Hu. Qiu Shuang wanted to help, but was stopped by Er Hu, who smiled and said, "Look, our prince and princess get along so well! If you go and intervene at this time, wouldn't it be too much of a hindrance to the prince and princess' affairs?" Qiu Shuang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and no longer insisted on going to help.

"These are what we servants should do. Do you have the nerve to let the prince and princess do these rough work?" Qiu Shuang said to Erhu with a smile while busy with the work in her hands.

Erhu replied disapprovingly: "You don't understand, these two people are enjoying it. Didn't you see the princess cutting meat while looking at the prince? The prince is the same, they enjoy the process. Why are you making trouble? Go over there and wash some vegetables. The brothers will have to hurry on their way after they have eaten!" After saying that, he took Qiu Shuang to the vegetable garden on the side.

After washing the vegetables, Qiu Shuang began to pack up the carriage. She carefully wiped the inside and outside of the carriage and sorted out the items in the carriage to make everything in order. Then, she came to the carriage of the prince and the princess and cleaned it carefully. She cleaned every corner carefully and smoked some incense on the carriage to make the whole carriage full of fresh and pleasant air. Finally, she arranged the carriage to be comfortable and warm, so that people could sit on it or lie on it to rest. In this way, when traveling at night, everyone can enjoy a comfortable environment in the carriage and recover their strength better.

Before nightfall, everyone was ready. Wuming held the little tiger and sat by the campfire, eating the roasted deer intestines in his hands, and at the same time, he did not forget to feed some to the little tiger. While eating, he muttered: "Senior sister, your cooking skills are really good! This deer intestine is really delicious."

"Children, don't eat too much venison. It's hard to digest. Okay, let's go to the carriage and have a rest." Nangong Lin watched Wuming eating the deer intestine with relish, and he couldn't help but pick up a deer intestine and taste it.

Yu Yunxin saw Wuming eating deer intestines, and Nangong Lin ate more than Wuming, and she couldn't help feeling a little unfair. It was too cruel for an adult to bully a child like this. However, she didn't say anything, but just looked at them silently, then got on the carriage and prepared to rest.

Yu Yunxin has always been a person with a regular work and rest schedule. She will never reverse her day and night schedule. She will definitely sleep and rest at night. Nangong Lin is doing the same now. After a little tidying up, the two of them got on the carriage. When Yu Yunxin was about to close her eyes and rest, she saw Nangong Lin reaching out his hand as if he wanted to touch something. She suddenly jumped up nervously and shouted, "Oh no! My period..." Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly jumped off the carriage to find Qiu Shuang.

Li Ma and Qiu Shuang arranged everything for women to pay attention to and how to deal with their menstrual period. In addition, they also thoughtfully prepared a lot of related sanitary products for her, of course, the Yue Shuan specially made by Zhulin Village. Tonight, Yun Xin had no choice but to spend the night in Qiu Shuang's carriage. Nangong Lin could only sleep alone in his carriage, feeling helpless.

Although there were a few rains along the way, the journey was generally smooth. After five days and five nights of travel, the group finally arrived at a small mountain village 20 miles outside Qizhou City in the middle of the night.

"Master Gong, we will reach Qizhou City in another twenty miles!" Erhu reported to Nangong Lin outside the carriage.

Nangong Lin jumped off the carriage, carefully observed the surrounding terrain and said, "Everyone, take a short rest here. Tomorrow I will send someone to Qizhou City to get some information, and then decide on the next course of action. In addition, make sure to find out whether Nangong Rui has arrived in Qizhou City."

"Brother-in-law, aren't we going to Ninghe County, Lushan to find our master?" Wuming also jumped down and asked.

"Your master is a martial arts master, why are you in such a hurry? We need to do things in Qizhou first, and then we can go to find your master. There is no rush. Go back and rest quickly, because we have to go into the city tomorrow." Nangong Lin urged Wuming to rest.

Wuming nodded and returned to the carriage.

After watching Wuming enter the carriage, Nangong Lin turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods.

A moment later, more than fifty secret guards jumped down from the tree. They knelt on one knee, saluted respectfully to Nangong Lin, and said in unison: "Master!"

"Get up." Nangong Lin waved his hand. "We have arrived at Qizhou City. Should we take action in Ningcheng?"

A leader of the secret guards stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, we have sent people to sneak into Ningcheng, but we have not found a suitable opportunity to take action yet."

Nangong Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Well, don't act rashly for now. You should hide your identities and ambush in Qizhou City first. This is the identity registration arranged for you. Those useless dog officials in Qizhou will not find you, and it will be convenient for me to act in the future."

As he spoke, Nangong Lin threw a box in his hand to the leader.

The chief took the box, opened it and saw that it was filled with various identity documents and household registration certificates.

"Thank you, my lord!" said the leader gratefully.

"Okay, make arrangements as soon as possible and report any situation in time." Nangong Lin instructed.

"Yes, sir!" the secret guards responded in unison.

Afterwards, the leader led everyone away quickly and disappeared into the woods.

After these people left Nangong Lin, they quickly changed into black clothes, put on masks, and flew into the woods. At this time, they heard a bell jingle, and it was the Black and White Impermanence flying towards them, and another one was Meng Po.

"Although you are not secret guards, could you please be a little lighter on the chains in your hands?" Nangong Lin complained to the two of them speechlessly.

"I have already told Lao Hei and Lao Bai to keep their voices down." Meng Po turned around and glared at the two people behind her.

"Who is in charge of the ghost market in Qizhou?" Nangong Lin suddenly asked.

"My lord, it is Hei Laoliu who is looking after the place there, but he has not been in contact with our ghost market in the suburbs of Beijing for more than a year. I don't know if something went wrong." Meng Po answered respectfully.

Black and White Impermanence continued, "Last year, there was news that the Qizhou prefect did not believe in evil and often sent secret scouts to the ghost market to investigate. Could it be related to this incident? Would you like to go and take a look, my Lord?"

"I want to go to the Ghost Market to inquire about the news of Qizhou City. Don't let Hei Laoliu be too indulgent. The Ghost Market provides a way out for some people, not for Hei Laoliu." When Nangong Lin heard this, his face darkened and he said with some displeasure.

"Hei Laoliu is just like that. He likes to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, but he also makes the ghost market of his master so chaotic. I will go and see him later and ask him where the profits of the ghost market this year went." Meng Po frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. She knew that Hei Laoliu's behavior had aroused the disgust of many people. If it was not stopped, it would affect the order and reputation of the entire ghost market.

Nangong Lin nodded, indicating his agreement with Meng Po's approach. He knew that Meng Po was steady and measured, and would definitely handle this matter well. At the same time, he also hoped that through this incident, Hei Laoliu would realize his mistakes and stop doing whatever he wanted. After all, the existence of the ghost market was one of the important ways for some low-level people to survive, and it must not be destroyed.

"It seems that both the black and white sides of Qizhou are not peaceful! Why didn't you report the matter of the ghost market in Qizhou to me in time?" Nangong Lin asked sternly with anger rising. His eyes were full of dissatisfaction and doubt, as if he wanted to penetrate the heart of the person in front of him.

"We were careless for a moment. Because Qizhou is a place that is neither north nor south, we did not take it seriously." Meng Po did not dare to be negligent and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake. He knew that his dereliction of duty might bring serious consequences, but at this moment he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes, hoping to be forgiven.

"Okay, lead the way to Qizhou Ghost Market." Nangong Lin ordered in a cold tone. The anger in his heart had not subsided, but now it was more important to understand the situation and solve the problem.

The ghost market in Qizhou is located on the hillside of Shili Mountain outside Qizhou City. It is also a mass grave and is often called Fengdu Ghost City. Due to its eerie atmosphere, no one dares to approach this place late at night.

When they arrived at the Ghost Market, Hei Wuchang suddenly became alert: "Master, something is wrong! This is the Yin and Yang world, there should be Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guarding it, why can't we see a single person now?" His voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness, as if he had sensed some potential danger.

After a while, a coffin was seen being carried into Xiaoyaoju by four men in black.

"Strange, when does the ghost market need to carry coffins in?" Bai Wuchang looked at Meng Po in confusion. Meng Po frowned and said to Bai Wuchang, "Change your white clothes and let's sneak in and take a look."

After that, she led everyone and sneaked into the ghost market.

They carefully observed the situation around them and saw a few guards at the door wearing black veils and crescent-shaped badges hanging around their waists.

"My lord, these people are actually from Yueling Pavilion!" Bai Wuchang asked in a low voice in surprise.

Meng Po turned around and gave him a gesture to keep quiet, indicating that he should keep quiet.

"Watch out, everyone. Only people holding the Yin-Yang Order can enter Xiaoyao Residence. No outsiders are allowed to sneak in." A man who looked like a leader ordered coldly.

The outskirts of the ghost market seemed unusually deserted, with only a few people patrolling.

"Boss, is our Pavilion Master too cautious? A few days ago, the one-armed Old Eight from the Ghost Market sent a pigeon to have their people keep an eye on Yueling Pavilion. I didn't expect that the Ghost Market in Qizhou is now owned by our Yueling Pavilion. This Black Old Six is ​​really powerful. He actually has 500,000 taels of silver in the treasury. Now it all belongs to our Yueling Pavilion." said one of the patrolmen.

"This Xiaoyaoju is a den of money. You see, all the rich and powerful people in Qizhou come to Xiaoyaoju to play. Not to mention that it has only been half a year and it has brought a lot of money to my Yueling Pavilion." One of them replied, "We brothers have to watch carefully. Tomorrow we will go to the village to find a few women to earn money for Xiaoyaoju."

"Brother, these girls in the village are not as valuable as the concubines sent by the prefect's son. The village girls are too rough, and the girls in the city are more beautiful."

"What do you know? Young ladies in the city usually come from big families. If you bring them here, they will be discovered. Give up these ideas and just find some good-looking country girls."

"Yes! But you can't only eat meat and not vegetables, you have to try vegetables and radishes occasionally, right? Besides, although this country girl is rough, she has her own flavor!" another person answered with a smile.

"Haha, you are right, everyone has their own preferences! Among us grown men, who doesn't like a pretty girl?" someone else echoed.

"Hehe, let's go to the village tomorrow and pick out a few good-looking girls. Then we'll see which one suits our taste better." Someone suggested.

"Okay, that's settled!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a man suddenly emerged from the darkness, his eyes were cold and deep, with a sharp sword in his hand. He stood there quietly, like a ghost.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the territory of Yueling Pavilion!" the captain of the patrol team shouted vigilantly.

"You shameless people actually dare to seize other people's property. This is extremely despicable!" the man shouted angrily.

"Hmph, who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business! Get out of here if you know what's good for you, or don't blame us for being rude!" The patrol captain responded fearlessly.

The man sneered and said, "You evil guys, today is the day you die!" As he said that, he flashed and rushed towards the patrol members like lightning.

Swords flashed and blood splattered everywhere. The patrol members fell in a pool of blood before they even had time to react.

The man gently wiped the sword and then disappeared into the night.

At this time, the captain of the patrol team looked at everything happening in front of him in horror, his heart filled with fear and despair.

"Who... who is this? How can he be so powerful?" he muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

"Master, what should we do now?" Meng Po looked at the people coming in and out of Xiaoyaoju, and then looked at the coffins in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little troubled. They couldn't rush in rashly, because that would alert the enemy, and they might even be discovered and put in danger.

Nangong Lin stared at Xiaoyaoju with cold eyes. He knew that the current situation was very difficult, but he would never give up easily. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Grab the Yin-Yang Order of the person in the coffin, and let's pretend to be the person in the coffin and go in to take a look."

Although this plan was risky, it was the only feasible way at the moment. The four of them looked at each other and decided to follow Nangong Lin's instructions. They quietly went around to the four coffins outside Xiaoyao Residence and waited for the coffin bearers to leave. When there was no one around, the four of them quickly took action, knocked out the people inside, and changed into the appearance of four young masters in the city.
