I traveled through time with my best friend.

Pei Zhijin looked over and said, "Bring him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Jiang Xue was brought in. Although Jiang Xue's clothes were wet and her hair was messy, Pei Zhijin recognized her at a glance.

"Miss Jiang?" Pei Zhijin was surprised.

When Jiang Xue saw Pei Zhijin here, she didn't care about anything else and immediately ran over and said, "Master Pei, it's great that you are here. Something happened at Lai Fu Inn. Hurry up and take people to rescue Zhu Feng."

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue who appeared here, his eyes flashed with surprise. Before he could speak, Jiang Xue said again: "What are you still standing there for? If you are late, someone will die."

Pei Zhijin retracted his gaze, looked at Wenchuan and said, "Go and take a look."

Jiang Xue immediately said, "I'll lead the way."

Zhu Feng and the woman in red were equally powerful. Although the woman in red was blind, her hearing was very sensitive. As long as Zhu Feng moved slightly, the woman in red could hear it.

Zhu Feng quickly picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and threw it towards the woman in red. The woman in red tilted her head slightly, then slightly moved to the side. The dagger brushed past him and then got stuck in the window.

Zhu Feng frowned, gathered his internal energy in his palms, and sent a fierce palm wind towards the woman in red.

Just as the bamboo wind was about to hit the woman in red, she only smiled eerily.

The next second, Zhu Feng's throat was clamped by the woman in red.

"Hmph, you are overestimating your capabilities."

Then he flicked his hand, and Zhu Feng flew out of the window. Jiang Xue had just walked downstairs of the inn when she saw Zhu Feng flying out of the window.

"Zhu Feng!" Jiang Xue shouted in panic.

Wenchuan quickly used his Qinggong skills to fly out and catch Zhufeng.

"Zhu Feng, how are you?" Jiang Xue walked quickly forward to check on Zhu Feng's condition.

Pei Zhijin looked up and saw a flash of red, and then he immediately said in a sharp voice: "Wenchuan."

Wenchuan immediately gave Zhufeng to Jiang Xue, and went forward to chase the woman in red.

Zhu Feng was seriously injured. Jiang Xue quickly took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Zhu Feng's mouth. "Close your eyes and regulate your breathing first."

Zhu Feng nodded weakly and then closed his eyes.

Pei Zhijin watched Jiang Xue throw away the umbrella in her hand, and then tilted the umbrella slightly.

After ordering someone to carry Zhu Feng to the inn, Jiang Xue looked at Zhu Feng and saw that he was fine before looking at Pei Zhijin and said, "Thank you, Lord Pei, for tonight. Why is Lord Pei in Anren County?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue with deep eyes and said, "Should I be the one asking Miss Jiang this?"

Jiang Xue had nothing to hide, so she said directly: "I'm going to Anzhou to visit my grandmother. I'm passing through Anren County, and the road has collapsed, so I have to stay here for a few days."

Pei Zhijin replied calmly, "Yeah." Wenchuan came back, his whole body so wet that it could probably fill two basins with water.

"My lord, I lost him."

"Can you see the man's appearance clearly?"

"No, it was too dark and the woman ran very fast."

Jiang Xue said from the side: "That woman is blind."

Pei Zhijin raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xue and said, "Send Miss Jiang back to rest."

"Master Pei, you must catch that woman. The murder that happened a year ago is definitely related to that woman."

"Wenchuan." Pei Zhijin looked at Wenchuan.

Wen Chuan immediately said to Jiang Xue respectfully, "Miss Jiang, let's go."

Jiang Xue then helped Zhu Feng leave.

As soon as she left the house, Jiang Xue asked Xiang Wenchuan, "Where does your parents live?"

"An inn near the government office."

"Then I'll live there too." Jiang Xue helped Zhu Feng get into the carriage without saying a word.

Wenchuan's mouth twitched, and he teased in his heart: "This Miss Jiang is really timid."

After Jiang Xue left, Pei Zhijin called the shopkeeper to find out what happened. The shopkeeper did not dare to hide anything and could only tell him the truth.

He said nervously and fearfully: "My Lord, I was wrong. I really have no other choice."

“Why don’t you report it to the police?”

"It's useless to report it. The He family is so powerful in Anren County."

Pei Zhijin frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to think. How could a businessman be so powerful in Anren County? There must be someone supporting him behind the scenes.

Seeing Pei Zhijin didn't say anything, the shopkeeper whispered, "Sir, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around."

Pei Zhijin came to his senses, stood up and walked out. It seemed that the water in Anren County was very deep.

After this, Zhu Feng was seriously injured and could not move, so Jiang Xue had to stay in Anren County. She thought that as long as Zhu Feng's injury got better, she would leave immediately.

Pei Zhijin not only had to investigate the treasure map, but also had to look for disaster relief money. Now that a woman in red had appeared, he became very busy.

Jiang Xue calmed down and thought, Pei Zhijin was always there every time she got into trouble, could it be that she and Pei Zhijin were in conflict?

Pei Zhijin's suspicion of Jiang Xue deepened. He suspected that Jiang Xue came to Anren County at the behest of King Cheng.

The two were suspicious of each other, but they didn't say it. Jiang Xue thought that it was safer to stay with Pei Zhijin, at least she wouldn't be scared.

In the evening, Jiang Xue brought the side dishes and porridge made in the kitchen to Pei Zhijin to thank him for saving her.

I never thought that as soon as I walked to the door, I heard something I shouldn't have heard.

Wen Yu's voice rang out from inside, "Sir, those assassins were sent by the Queen Mother."

"What has King Cheng done recently?"

"Prince Cheng seems to be very calm recently and has been staying in the capital. However, after you left, Prince Cheng claimed to be ill and has not attended court for several days."

Pei Zhijin held a folding fan in his hand and tapped the table slowly. There was no expression on his handsome face. He said lightly: "King Cheng is thoughtful. I guess if he doesn't make any moves, then he will make some moves. How is the He family's investigation going?"

Wen Chuan said from the side: "The He family acts in secret, and no connection with the capital has been found yet."

"Keep checking."

"Yes."

Wen Yu suddenly said, "Sir, regarding the treasure map, I have heard that the most famous assassin organization in the martial arts world is the assassins in Fengyun Tower. Among them, there is a killer named Qing Ye who ranks first and has never failed in any mission he has ever carried out."

"And his Qinggong is the most powerful one. I think he is the only one who can move around the palace so easily."

"Fengyun Tower?" Pei Zhijin repeated, recalling that he was pulled back to his childhood. His father was chased by the people in Fengyun Tower and finally fell off a cliff, leaving no trace of his body.

"Sir? Sir? What's wrong with you?" Wen Yu waved his hand in front of Pei Zhijin.

Pei Zhijin came back to his senses, sat up straight, his eyes reddened, and said in a cold voice, "Let's put aside the matter of Fengyun Tower for now, and find the silver first."

"Yes."

Jiang Xue frowned as she listened at the door. She really didn't expect Pei Zhijin to have so many things to deal with. Suddenly, a mosquito dangled in front of Jiang Xue.

"Snapped!"

Pei Zhijin looked towards the door with sharp eyes. Wen Yu and Wen Chuan immediately became alert. Wen Yu quickly drew out his sword and opened the door.

Jiang Xue was standing at the door with a smile on her face, "Hello!"

Wen Yu: “…”
