The waiter waited for nearly half an hour, but saw no movement from the upper room where the man who had rewarded him with silver.

After knocking on the door several times, he finally pushed it open to find out what was going on, but found that the person was gone.

Tian Yu returned to the market again, and this time she began to search for the person who had followed her before.

If the other party lost him, he would most likely choose to sit back and wait. As for how he would find him, Tian Yu already had a guess.

If there is any distinguishing feature about me other than my body shape, it must be the money I spend.

The silver in this world has its own standard, with the place of issuance marked on it, making it easier to identify.

Tian Yu spent a lot of money along the way.

After changing his clothes, Tian Yu started chatting with the herbal medicine vendor again.

Although she changed her clothes, her purpose was just to verify whether the man followed her because he saw her generosity and wanted money or for other purposes.

If someone is still following you after you change your clothes, it means that this person did not just have some random idea.

It was almost evening and Tian Yu stood up with a bag of herbs.

About two hundred meters away from her, the stalker was chatting with a vendor.

Tian Yu curled the corners of his mouth and walked towards the inn where he was staying.

Her act of changing clothes had already alerted the other party, who distanced himself from her but still followed her.

It seems that he is very determined.

After entering the inn, Tian Yu went straight into the room and began to sit in meditation.

The southwest had just experienced a bandit suppression campaign, and the curfew time was much earlier than in Beijing. The voices outside the window had begun to fade away.

Tian Yu opened her eyes at this time, and she felt that someone had been standing at her door for a long time.

She didn't move and continued to sit.

The person outside the door seemed to have been listening to the noise inside and had not taken any action.

Suddenly, a noise came from inside the house, as if it was the sound of a window opening.

The man frowned and planned to break into the house, but he remained patient.

Tian Yu calculated the time. The person who was following him was really patient. Both of them knew that the other had discovered him, but he was reluctant to take action.

He didn't move, and Tian Yu didn't move either.

Then, a wisp of green smoke slowly floated into Tian Yu's house.

Tian Yu curled the corners of his mouth. This method was quite consistent with the costume dramas he had watched.

After a while, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the house.

The person outside the door finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the other party had pretended to open the window to deceive him.

He slowly opened the door and entered the house.

The room was pitch black at this moment. He moved his ears but did not hear any breathing sound.

"No!" As soon as this thought came to his mind, a huge force hit his neck.

Behind him, Tian Yu, with his mouth and nose covered with a wet cloth, slowly put away the bloody sword that was still unsheathed.

"Little guy, knockout drug?"

Dragging the man, Tian Yu tied the knot skillfully.

The man didn't have much stuff on him, so Tian Yu confiscated his knockout drug and pulled out his weapon.

After thinking for a while, she pried open his mouth.

There was indeed poison hidden inside.

This made Tian Yu laugh. Sometimes TV dramas really do have that effect.

As the man slowly opened his eyes, Tian Yu was sitting leisurely opposite him.

"Are you awake?"

The other person's mouth was blocked, and Tian Yu was not going to give him a chance to speak.

"Let me guess." Tian Yu looked at him and smiled creepily.

"There are calluses on my hands and feet, too."

"The clothes don't look like they've been around much."

"Your weapon doesn't have a standard pattern on it, but judging by the marks on the handle, it looks like a new one. It doesn't appear to be something you usually use."

"The rebellion in the southwest has just been quelled, so the supervision is naturally stricter. It is not easy to get knockout drugs. He hid poison in his mouth. It seems that he is tight-lipped and not afraid of death."

"He has a straight body, and he doesn't show any vulgarity when he's following people. He was able to find me through money, so it seems like he has a strong backer."

Tian Yu expressed his speculations one after another, while also observing the other party's expression.

"But I think if the princess wants to send someone to look for me, she won't do it at this time."

"If I were her, I would definitely wait until I saw the results or achieved my goal before killing her to silence her."

"What did General Chen tell you?"

Tian Yu looked at the man and asked the last question with a smile on his face.

The eldest princess can see the changes in Chen Shengjing, so how can her father not see it?

Ever since Tian Yu came to her, everything has been going too smoothly, whether it was taking over the affairs of the mansion, getting close to the eldest princess, or learning the eldest princess's secrets, all of this was instigated by General Chen.

Tian Yu has always had a neutral opinion of this man. He is an out-and-out politician. How could such a person care so much about his daughter?

He has more than one daughter, and although there is family affection, in such a family, everyone should be tied together by interests, and a politician's love and dedication are not unconditional.

All the characteristics of the person who was following me combined made him look more like a soldier or a death warrior who had received long-term training.

Just think about it, the reason why Tian Yu came to the southwest was because she listened to General Chen's words and then met the princess. She had been away from home for so long, it was impossible for the general's mansion not to notice something was wrong.

Tian Yu didn't know what General Chen's purpose was, but just by looking at the fact that this man drugged him, he knew that General Chen wanted him.

Tian Yu had already finished his brainstorming and was looking at the tied man calmly.

Even the news about the alchemist was told to him by General Chen.

In fact, he could have just kidnapped the man directly at that time, but why did he bring him to Shangjing to be dealt with by himself?

Lushui River, southwest hinterland...

"Forget it," Tian Yu stood up, "It would be useless if I killed you now."

She knew from her perception that many people were gathering towards the inn where she was staying.

Now it seems that since I came to Jing, I have become a chess piece.

The two players playing chess are always the Princess and General Chen.

What the two of them had to do was to guide her step by step, making Tian Yu think that she was discovering the process by herself, but in fact she was leading her to the southwest.

Now Tian Yu began to suspect that the reason why she did not find Qiu Niang on the banks of the Lushui River was not because she did not show up, but because her initial route was wrong.

After leaving the house, Madam Li would of course know. If Madam Li knew, General Chen would also know.

Whether Qiu Niang was present on the banks of the Lu River should perhaps be decided by General Chen, who was about to arrive at the river.

Did the princess lie in this matter?

"This copy is so complicated..." Tian Yu sighed in his heart.

To these shrewd politicians, becoming a pawn is Tian Yu's only chance to get involved.
