Liu Yu sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, stared at the driver's back, and suddenly asked tentatively:

"Brother, are you from Quanxing County?"

"Yes, ma'am." The driver's voice was hoarse, like the sound of pulling a bellows. Liu Yu had never heard this voice before.

"Then you should be very familiar with Quanxing County! How many towns and villages are there in your county? Do you know where the environment is good? I want to take my family there for a trip."

The groom answered several places fluently, introduced the landscapes and talked about their characteristics, with yearning in his voice.

He looks exactly like a native of Quanxing County, and there is no flaw at all.

Liu Yu was worried, so he asked the driver his name, where he lived, and how many people were in his family.

"My name is Ma Da. I live in Majia Village outside the city. There are 54 people in my family. I have three brothers and five sisters..."

Hearing the driver's mumbling, there was no flaw at all, he was just a typical villager.

This person's acting skills are either so good that she can't tell the authenticity, or there is really nothing wrong with him.

Her reason told her that it should be the latter.

But her feeling told her that there was something wrong with both drivers.

She thanked him and didn't ask any more questions. She lowered the curtain and went back into the carriage.

Liu Yu didn't see that just after she lowered the curtain, the driver smiled and his hands, which were holding the reins, were trembling.

His Yu'er, he finally sees you again. Don't worry, this time I will definitely take you away from Chen Zhihe's clutches.

You probably don't know it yet! Chen Zhihe is a complete hypocrite. On the surface, he seems to be a righteous gentleman who serves the people, the emperor, and justice.

In fact, he is an ungrateful person who even betrays his mentor.

Is this the kind of person you want? No, that's because you don't know his true face.

Liu Yu didn't know that the coachman was Prince Qi, and she had no idea what he was thinking.

After returning to the car, Liu Yu told Mr. Chen Sanye about the conversation he had just had with the coachman.

Mr. Chen San did not find anything wrong, he said: "Don't worry about him for now, when we get to the inn, we will send the car and the people back to the government office."

He did not lower his voice when he said this, so Li Qi, who was driving the car outside, naturally heard it.

A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. If you want to send us off, it depends on whether you, Chen Zhihe, have the ability to do so.

Half a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped in front of the only inn in Quanxing County. Liu Yu booked the entire second floor. With their combined efforts, they lifted Uncle Chen off the carriage and walked into the inn.

"Wait a minute." When the innkeeper saw them carrying in a dead-looking Mr. Chen, he hurriedly stopped them.

"Our inn is for the living. If you want to house the dead, we won't allow that."

Liu Yu stepped forward and smiled apologetically: "Boss, my elder brother is just injured."

The shopkeeper took a look at the people they were carrying, who looked like four corpses, motionless, and he obviously didn't believe it.

"Ma'am, don't joke with me. Even if they are not dead yet, they are breathing out more air than they are breathing in. I'm afraid they won't survive tonight. We really can't keep people like them in our inn."

"If one of your people dies in our inn and our boss finds out, my job as innkeeper will be over."

Liu Yu's smile turned cold. Under normal circumstances, she would have turned around and left. However, she just learned from the driver that this was the only inn in the whole Quanxing County, so she had to stay there today no matter what.

"I told you when I paid the bill just now that there would be two injured people living in it. You agreed to it yourself."

Liu Yu apologized in his heart and started to make trouble.

"My eldest brother is still angry, so it can only be regarded as a heavy punishment. If you unilaterally regret it, you will have to pay me three times the price."

"Oh." The shopkeeper laughed angrily: "Our inn has been open for decades, and today is the first time we encounter people looking for trouble." After saying that, he winked at the waiter, who quickly ran out and ran back in with a group of thugs a little while later.

"If you behave yourself today, I will return your money. If you dare to cause trouble in Zizhong again, I don't mind letting a few more of you go out lying down."

Master Chen Wu and Feng Mo immediately drew their weapons and stood in front of Liu Yu and Master Chen San.

The shopkeeper looked at them with contempt. There were only two people who could fight. They had so many thugs on their side, so how could they be afraid?

If they disagree on something, they will start fighting.

Both Chen Wuye and Feng Mo have seen bloody battles, so they are not afraid of these muscular brutes in front of them.

They have been hiding for a day and a night.

Just when the situation was about to break out, Li Qi, who had been following Liu Yu and the others in, stood up.

He smiled apologetically to the shopkeeper:

"Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan, this is a misunderstanding. They are all our friends. Could you please let them stay for a night for my sake?"

"I was wondering who it was! It turned out to be Ma Da!" The shopkeeper looked at Li Qi, then at Liu Yu, then patted Li Qi on the shoulder and laughed:

"That's fine. If it were someone else, I wouldn't necessarily give him face. It was you who helped me send my mother to the pharmacy when she was ill last time..."

Finally, considering that Li Qi and the shopkeeper had saved their lives, they were allowed to stay in the inn for three days. If those people were not dead after three days, they could continue to stay.

If someone dies, you have to move out immediately.

If they were better, they would have set off long ago and would not have stayed in Quanxing County and stayed at Shizi Inn.

But for now, they have to stay here for one night.

It would take two months to get south just by walking.

I must buy the things I need for the journey tomorrow.

After sending Mr. Chen San to the guest room on the second floor, Liu Yu pondered for a while, said something to Mr. Chen San, and went downstairs again.

As expected, Martha was still downstairs and had not left.

"Thank you, Ma Da." Liu Yu took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his purse and handed it to the groom.

The groom took the silver from Liu Yu without any hesitation and put on an extremely flattering smile:

"Thank you for the reward, madam. This is what I should do. The two masters and the two ladies are all seriously injured. Madam, do you need to find a doctor? I am familiar with the doctors at Chunyi Hall and can guide you."

You must find a doctor, but most of the shops are closed.

With an acquaintance like Marda, I don’t have to worry about going to a bad place.

"Okay, but I have to talk to my husband." Guyu was taking care of Limei, Master Chen Wu was taking care of Yao, and Feng Mo was sent out to investigate the situation. She was the only one who was free.

Li Qi's face froze, but in an instant, he returned to his simple and honest smile of a country boy;

"Okay, I'll wait for the lady downstairs."

Liu Yu returned soon, but he was followed by Chen Xiyao and Qin Ke.

As if he didn't care at all about being disturbed, he enthusiastically led Liu Yu and the others out of the inn.
