After a day's journey, the group decided to rest in the inn for a night before continuing their journey.

In the private room, Xia Nian said, "Everyone, now that we have arrived, we can't just look around. Yinyin and I discussed it on the way and came up with a solution."

Several people looked at them, and Meng Yin continued, "When we get to Tongqiu County, one of us will pretend to be Taozi and walk around the streets in a sneaky manner, so that they will think that Taozi has escaped."

Xia Nian said: "Well, they must think that Taozi escaped, and they must want to catch her back. Then they can catch the cicada while the oriole is waiting. Of course, this plan may not succeed."

Meng Yin said: "Whether it succeeds or not, we have to give it a try. What do you think?"

Pei Xuanxi said: "I think it's feasible. Yi An is a serious person and will definitely not relax so quickly. If he is really in Tongqiu County, he will definitely send people to keep an eye on him in the county."

Xu Zheng slammed the table and said, "Okay, let's do this! I'll pretend to be Taozi, and when they come to catch me, I'll just elbow them!"

Pei Xuanxi said helplessly: "A Zheng, I'm afraid you can't do it."

Xu Zheng asked in confusion: "Why?"

Meng Yin laughed and said, "Because there is a huge difference between you and Taozi in appearance. Taozi is half a head shorter than you. Yi'an went to so much trouble for Taozi. I guess those people are very familiar with her. If Azheng comes, she will be easily discovered."

Xu Zheng was immediately discouraged, and Pei Xuanxi was about to comfort her, but she immediately cheered up and said, "Then I'll be a thug. If I don't pry their teeth open, then all the decades of karate I've learned will be in vain!"

Pei Xuanxi praised: "Okay, I think it's good."

Xu Zheng laughed out loud: "Not bad, right? Hahaha!"

A frown crossed the faces of several people. Xun Yan smiled awkwardly and raised her hand hesitantly: "Let me do it. Miss Tao and I are quite similar."

Zhong Ziyi was startled and asked, "Miss Xun, are you okay?"

Xun Yan said: "I have no problem, as long as I can find Miss Tao."

Zhong Ziyi was about to say something, but Meng Yin interrupted, "It's okay. You don't need Xun Yan to come. I'll be fine. Aside from Xun Yan, Taozi and I look the same. When the time comes, Gu Ling will disguise me. I don't believe they will be able to tell the difference."

After saying that, she looked at Gu Ling with a smile, but found that Gu Ling had no intention of smiling at all.

Gu Ling said: "Ayin, let Qiao Yi go."

Meng Yin waved her hands and said, "Qiao Yi doesn't need to take action. With you guys behind me, will I still be in any danger?"

Gu Ling frowned, and just as he opened his mouth, Meng Yin covered it. Meng Yin smiled slyly: "It's settled then."

Gu Ling held her hand and was about to say something, but Meng Yin leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Come to my room tonight, don't say anything."

After these words were spoken, Gu Ling really shut up.

After the matter was settled, they quickly finished their meal and returned to their respective rooms.

Xiahou Yu, Xia Nian, Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng were husband and wife, so naturally they lived in one room. Since it was Zhong Ziyi who booked the room, he directly booked one room for Gu Ling and Meng Yin. Gu Ling was originally going to sneak into Meng Yin's room at night, but she took the initiative to ask him to do so, so he went openly.

When they got into the house, Gu Ling hugged her and lifted her chin to kiss her. Then he thought of what happened just now and said, "Ayin, you..."

"Stop talking, stop talking. With you protecting me, what do I have to fear?" Meng Yin smiled, wrapping her slender arms around his neck. "I know you won't let me get hurt. Besides, I also want to try the Soul Devouring Hall's disguise technique. Is it really that magical?"

Gu Ling pondered for a while and said, "If you want to try the disguise technique, you don't have to take risks."

Meng Yin said, "There's no danger there." She stood on tiptoe and gently touched his cheek.

Gu Ling was not so easily satisfied. He picked her up by the waist and fell on the couch. After a while, Meng Yin panted slightly and pretended to ask casually: "Gu Ling, let me ask you, if I suddenly left one day, what would you do?"

She hadn't thought much about this issue, but after seeing Chaomu City on the map, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Gu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Ayin, what do you mean? You want to leave? Where are you going? Why don't you take me with you?"

Meng Yin shook her head and stepped back a little, unconsciously dodging his gaze that seemed to see through her. However, Gu Ling put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms, and with his other hand he lifted her chin so that she could look at him.

Meng Yin had no choice but to say, "No, uh... I'm going to a place you can't go to, but I'm not dead, and nothing will happen to me. It's just that we... won't be able to see each other."

Gu Ling's expression darkened as soon as she said the word "leave". When he heard her say that they couldn't meet, his slightly opened lips trembled and his face turned pale.

"Ayin, where can't I go? What do you mean you're not dead, I'm not dead, but we can't meet?" He held her shoulders with both hands, "Ayin, do you... don't like me anymore?"

Meng Yin chuckled and said, "What? Why don't I like you anymore?"

Gu Ling said: "You just said that you don't want to meet me."

Meng Yin said: "What I mean is that I was forced to leave and we were forced not to meet."

Gu Ling was even more confused. He thought about all the reasons, but he couldn't think of any person, thing or event that could force them to separate.

"Why?" he asked, "Ayin, are you hiding something from me?"

Meng Yin subconsciously played with her hair and said, "No, I just had a sudden thought and wanted to ask."

"Really?" Gu Ling looked at her closely, "Whenever you feel guilty, you play with your hair."

Meng Yin was startled and said, "Oh my god, I didn't even notice it myself." Seeing Gu Ling's sullen face, she hurriedly said, "I really just wanted to ask suddenly. I just wanted to see how you would react if I left you, hahaha!"

Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Meng Yin held his face with both hands, shook it twice, touched his lips, and said with a smile: "Really."

Gu Ling leaned over and held her in his arms, holding the back of her head with one hand, holding her wrist with the other, and resting his head on the crook of her neck.

After waiting for a long while, Gu Ling didn't say anything. Meng Yin almost thought he was asleep, so she asked tentatively: "Gu Ling? Gu Ling?"

She wanted to sit up, but was held down by Gu Ling again.

"You're not asleep yet. Get up and go to bed quickly." Meng Yin said.

Gu Ling shook his head. Meng Yin felt a burst of hot air blowing on her neck, which made her feel a little itchy. She couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

Gu Ling seemed to have finally calmed down. He raised his head, his nose touching hers, and said in a light but serious tone, "Ayin, if you want to leave me, I will tie you to my side for the rest of your life."

Meng Yin looked at him steadily and sighed, "I never thought of leaving you."

Gu Ling picked her up and held her tightly without letting go.

Meng Yin raised her hand and stroked his back, feeling a little sore at the tip of her nose.

Gu Ling didn't know what she meant by leaving. If she really wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to stop her because she would be forced.

If she suddenly disappeared at that time, how sad would Gu Ling be? Would he go crazy? Meng Yin couldn't help thinking.

Gu Ling picked her up and walked towards the bed, saying, "Ayin, it's time to rest. You've been sitting in the carriage for two days. Are you tired?"

Meng Yin withdrew her thoughts and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Now that they haven't found Taozi yet, they shouldn't think about leaving so early.

Meng Yin yawned, and Gu Ling suddenly held her hand as she untied her belt. He said sullenly, "Ayin, don't separate from me."

Meng Yin coaxed, "Yeah, no."

After saying that, she kissed him again, and Gu Ling then let go of her hand and helped her take off her skirt.

When sleeping, Meng Yin kept thinking about finding Taozi and almost forgot about it, but Gu Ling held her tightly, as if she would run away secretly.

Meng Yin tried to pull her hand away, but he held her tighter. Meng Yin felt a little suffocated and said, "Gu Ling, you're holding me too tight. It makes me uncomfortable!"

Gu Ling relaxed a little, then turned her over so that she was facing him. He felt relieved only after resting his head on the top of her head.
