Wen Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled, "Buy? No matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it."

"Oh? Is this also what your peddler grandfather picked up when he was young?"

"OK."

Yinfu said, "Your grandfather's business is quite big. I thought he was just going around the streets in the surrounding villages."

"Not a big deal, it's just that he knew a caravan from foreign countries before, so there are many things he hasn't seen in Da Qi." Wen Qingcheng evaded the question.

Yinfu was not without experience in the martial arts world, and was skeptical about Wen Qingcheng's words, but since he had no other reasonable explanation, he had no choice but to believe her.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the soil was wet and slippery, and Yinfu was afraid of overturning the car, so he didn't dare to drive too fast. It was not until the end of the You hour that he arrived at Jiangling Prefecture.

Because of the rain, all the pedestrians on the road went home, and the streets were empty. Yin Fu rode his horse for a while in the city, and the horse could hardly move. Wen Qingcheng suggested: "Let's find an inn to rest, the horse can't run anymore. You will catch a cold outside."

Hidden Bat smiled and said, "If you don't close the curtains, you'll catch a cold. I see an inn ahead."

After walking a few steps, the carriage slowly stopped. Wen Qingcheng got off the carriage holding an umbrella. The waiter led the horse to the backyard. Wen Qingcheng held the umbrella high up for Yin Fu and said, "I don't need it. Go in quickly."

The two of them quickly ran into the inn. Since they didn't stay that late today, they could still order food in the inn. Yinfu ordered two bowls of mutton soup, which they took back to their room and ate while it was still hot.

Not long after finishing the meal, there was a knock on the door. "Miss Wen, it's me."

Wen Qingcheng opened the door, Yinfu asked the waiter to boil some water, and after sending the waiter away, Yinfu handed the hot water to Wen Qingcheng.

"Just give it a quick scrub. Don't use a bathtub. I'm afraid it won't be clean."

"Yes, I know. You should go to bed early as well. We still have to travel tomorrow."

After washing and changing into pajamas, Wen Qingcheng tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. She finally made it until late at night, when she could no longer lift her eyelids, and gradually fell asleep, but she still felt a trace of the outside world.

At two o'clock in the morning, Wen Qingcheng woke up from her dream. She dreamed that beans had become spirits and were catching people to eat. There was blood everywhere. Wen Qingcheng was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat and woke up with her heart pounding. She turned the pillow over and continued to sleep, but she felt chest tightness and couldn't fall asleep.

"Nothing will happen at home, right? Why do I always feel like something is going to happen?"

Wen Qingcheng muttered to herself, got up and opened a crack in the window. It was drizzling outside, and the rain hitting the screen window sounded like silkworms eating mulberry leaves. Wen Qingcheng lay on the bed with her eyes closed, not knowing whether she was asleep or not. It was not until dawn that she got up with soreness all over her body.

dong dong dong-

"Miss Wen, I've left breakfast at your door."

Yinfu had gotten up early and brought breakfast to Wen Qingcheng at the door. He watched Wen Qingcheng bring the meal into the house with his own eyes before he returned to his room with peace of mind.

After dinner, Wen Qingcheng began to pack up and took her belongings to prepare to check out. She had been traveling for two days now and was not even halfway there. Kyoto was still a long way away, and she couldn't wait to see Mo Jinghong.

She always felt uneasy these days. She would not feel at ease until she saw Mo Jinghong and confirmed that he was safe.

Wen Qingcheng came out of the room with her bag slung over her shoulder and saw Yinfu standing at the counter downstairs. Yinfu seemed to have sensed something and glanced in Wen Qingcheng's direction, then quickly went upstairs in two steps.

"Miss Wen, we can't leave."

"why?"

"I heard that the city gates are closed. People outside can't come in, and people inside are not allowed to go out."

"Wait a minute, let me check the map. We entered the city from the south gate. Let's see if there is an east gate, west gate, or north gate. We can go through other gates." Wen Qingcheng opened her bag and searched for a map inside.

Hidden Bat looked solemn, "Don't look for it anymore, it's useless, they are all sealed."

Wen Qingcheng was so annoyed that she wanted to fly to Mo Jinghong immediately. But now that the city gates were closed, did she have to stay here for a few days?

"No, why? Why did they suddenly close the city?"

Yinfu looked at Wen Qingcheng deeply and said, "It's nothing. Since you can't leave today, just stay here for a day. You stay in the room and have a good rest."

Wen Qingcheng saw that Yin Fu's expression was not right, so she asked solemnly: "Are you hiding something from me? What happened? I have the right to know!"

Yinfu motioned Wen Qingcheng to come into the house and talk. At this moment, Yinfu no longer had any taboos about the distinction between men and women, which made Wen Qingcheng feel even more uneasy.

Hidden Bat closed the door and whispered, "I'm telling you, don't be afraid."

Wen Qingcheng crossed her arms and nodded to let him continue. She was not a greenhouse flower that had never experienced any storms. She had experienced everything in her previous life and in the end of the world.

"I heard that the rebels have reached here." After saying this, Yinfu looked at Wen Qingcheng, only to see that Wen Qingcheng just frowned slightly and was not scared. Yinfu then felt relieved.

"How come there are rebels suddenly? Where do they come from? We didn't see any fighting along the way. How many people are there?" Wen Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh how unlucky she was to encounter such a thing.

"I'm not sure either. The situation in the court is in chaos, and there are powerful enemies all around. The court has sent its elite troops to deal with the foreign enemies, and the ambitious people in Da Qi have begun to act. I just heard from the people in the inn that the enemy has at least 80,000 people."

Wen Qingcheng's heart sank. The technology of the Great Qi Dynasty was backward, and the speed of information transmission was slow. These rebels came suddenly. If reinforcements did not arrive, the defense force of a city alone could not resist for long. If these people attacked, they could control their soldiers if they met a good general. If they were not strictly controlled, these people would definitely harm the people.

"Hidden Bat, we have to make plans early. There are 80,000 armed rebels here, and we can't fight them out with our courage alone. We are not sure when the reinforcements will arrive, so we should find a safe place to hide and wait for rescue."

"Miss Wen, give me the map."

Wen Qingcheng handed the map to Yinfu without saying anything. Yinfu placed the map flat on the table, scanned it for a while, and stopped his finger at a place along the river.

"what have you found?"

"The closest camp to Jiangling City is the Jiangnan Camp. I will write a few more secret letters and go to the city to find some carrier pigeons to send to Kyoto, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei Camps."

"There are rebels outside. How can the letter be delivered? What if it is intercepted..." Wen Qingcheng thought that the rebels must be smart. Wouldn't they shoot down the carrier pigeon when they see it?

Hidden Bat crossed his arms and said, "It's hard to say, but we can wait until late at night to release the letter. Sending the letter out always gives us a glimmer of hope."

Wen Qingcheng nodded, and Yinfu continued, "I'll go out for a while, find some carrier pigeons, and then go to the city gates to find out the situation and where there is a place to hide. Can you stay here alone?"

"I'm fine." Wen Qingcheng said firmly. Seeing that Yinfu was still a little worried, she continued, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in the room."

Yinfu felt slightly relieved. His master had ordered him and Yunpeng not to let Wen Qingcheng out of his sight. However, in the current situation, it might be inconvenient to take Wen Qingcheng out. During this special period, he couldn't care less.
