The man in black stood up with the help of Zhang Liang's outstretched hand. Because he had been lying down for too long, his legs were a little numb, so Liu Feng also stepped forward to help him up.

As a result, when he helped the man in black to stand up, he accidentally pulled off his already torn sleeve. The torn sleeve fluttered on his arm, and Liu Feng paused in embarrassment.

Then, as if he saw something incredible, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and found that there seemed to be a totem tattoo on the arm of the man in black.

When he tried to see more clearly in disbelief again, the man in black, as if afraid of being discovered, quickly tore off the torn sleeve with his hands, wrapped it around his arm and tied a knot casually, as if to cover something.

He didn't notice that Liu Feng's hand froze when he reached for him, so he stood up and bowed to the county lady. "Greetings to the county lady Huide. The county lady has just read the letter. The master specifically reminded me not to disturb the county lady, but I didn't expect to disturb her anyway."

"I did not mean to do that. I should have arrived during the day, but I was not familiar with the route, so I was delayed until now. Please forgive me, my lady." After saying that, he bowed again.

Xiao Wan quickly called out and asked with concern, "I've read the letter. I appreciate your master's kindness. Is he doing well?"

"The master is fine and everything is going well. Thank you for your concern, County Lady." The man in black replied respectfully.

This county lady saved her master, which was equivalent to saving herself. He was only loyal to his master in his life. When his master was persecuted and thrown into Yuntai Town, he and several other guards almost went crazy.

Fortunately, the county lady saved her master, otherwise she would have to follow her master to serve in the underworld.

The reason he sent the gift this time was because he is the master's confidant.

If someone is replaced by someone they don't trust, it might cause trouble for the county lady and the master. After all, the master's identity is special, and he cannot interact too deeply with others until he has settled down.

"That's good, that's good. You must have come all the way here and it was hard. What happened today was indeed a misunderstanding. I'll have someone clean up a guest room for you so you can rest for a night before leaving." Xiao Wan saw that the man in black looked a little disheveled and wanted him to rest before going back.

"Thank you, County Master. I have a place to stay outside, and I can't leave my master for too long. I have to hurry back. Thank you for your kindness. When my master's business is over, I will come to see you in person."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan realized that since it was related to Xiao Da's safety, she could not force the man in black to stay here to rest.

Since Xiao Da chose not to let her find out about the gift, he must have his own difficulties. Besides, his subordinates also said that they could not leave him for too long. It seems that Xiao Da's situation is not very optimistic.

After the man in black left, Xiao Wan saw Liu Feng still standing there lost in thought, so she called out to him.

Liu Feng came to his senses and saw that the man in black had already left. He wanted to follow him, but it was too late. The man in black was quite skilled and had good martial arts skills. It would be difficult to catch up with him now, but the county lady seemed very friendly to him after reading the letter. Perhaps he could ask the county lady who this man's master was.

The tattoo on the black-clad man's arm looked very much like the mark of the Yilan Kingdom's secret guards.

Yilan Kingdom was not a big country like Yuan Dynasty, so secret guards only existed among the gentry and royal family. Ordinary gentry were not worthy of secret guards because they did not have the financial resources and ability.

Only the wealthy and powerful families have the financial resources to train secret guards.

The man in black who just left was also very skilled, but he did not come with any malicious intent, and he knew that the county lord would not hurt him after reading the letter and the gift.

Therefore, he was not afraid even if he was caught, and he didn't want to show his true strength in front of others.

If that man and his master were really from Yilan, how could they know Xiao Wan?

Could it be that the county princess has connections with the enemy country?

No, it's impossible. If the county lady really had connections with the Yilan Kingdom and found potatoes, a food that could save the stomachs of people all over the world, how could she report it to the Yuan Dynasty?

Besides, the county princess is noble and upright, has a good way to make money, lives a happy life, is valued by the emperor, and is loved by her own general. The county princess has no motive.

There was a civil war in Yilan before, their emperor was seriously ill, and the prince was persecuted and disappeared.

General Zhan Beiting of Yilan State attempted to launch a coup in order to put himself first.

He also colluded with merchants from the Yuan Dynasty in an attempt to support his nephew, the fifth prince of the Yuan Dynasty, to ascend to the throne.

Although the emperor did not attack the fifth prince, he was only holding back temporarily. Liu Feng had a feeling that the fifth prince would not end up well.

Later, the missing prince of Yilan Kingdom came back when Zhan Beiting launched a coup, and together with his confidants, he suppressed Zhan Beiting.
