I survived as a female assassin

Xin Youran first went to the entrance of the alley to look at the place where the little one often played in the mud. When she didn't see her, she walked to the gate of their yard and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, someone came to open the door. It was Aunt Li again who opened the door a crack and looked at the person knocking before opening the door.

"Hello, Aunt Li, please pass this letter to Tong Wan, and this small cloth bag to the little one. I won't go in."

"Excuse me."

Although Aunt Li's face was full of vigilance, she remembered that the young lady had specifically instructed that if Xin Youran came, she could be led directly to the main hall without reporting.

She took the thing Xin Youran handed over with a little hesitation, looked at her, and then nodded.

Seeing this, Xin Youran grinned and said, "Thank you, Aunt Li. I'll be leaving first."

"goodbye!"

Maybe never see each other again.

Xin Youran walked slowly, step by step, towards the entrance of the alley. Mu Yuan said he would wait for her there.

At this moment, her legs felt like they were filled with lead. Why was this damn Leng Yue biting her so tightly?

Wouldn’t it be better to just pretend that Blood Shadow is dead?

When she slowly moved to the entrance of the alley, she did not see Mu Yuan.

Maybe he was saying his final goodbye like her. People are all made of flesh and blood. Although Mu Yuan looks cold-hearted, he must have feelings.

*

Mu Yuan changed into Doctor Liu's clothes, put on a conical hat and carried a bag, looking very different from the elegant young man he had just been.

Before leaving, he looked back at the entire room. Nothing was left behind except a few money bags that the secret guards had just handed over, neatly placed on the table.

There was a note written by him under the purse, and the handwriting was completely different from the one in Xin Youran's letter.

A great favor is not thanked, and will be repaid a hundredfold in the future.

"Go check if Blood Shadow can read."

The secret guards received the order and soon began to act.

The information we received previously did not mention Blood Shadow.

After saying that, Mu Yuan walked straight out of the yard. Following his previous agreement with Xin Youran, he arrived at the entrance of the alley, only to find her squatting on the side of the road. She had found a willow branch from somewhere and was fiddling with something on the ground, muttering to herself, "Hehehe, Brother Yi, why are you in such a hurry to move things? Is it going to rain?"

Mu Yuan:......

"gone."

Xin Youran hadn't been waiting here for too long. When she looked up, she saw the person in this outfit appear in front of her. If she hadn't heard Mu Yuan's voice, she really wouldn't have recognized him.

But why does this hat look so familiar?

She couldn't help but think of the night when she teased Jin Dakun...

"What are you dawdling for? Do you want to say goodbye to Doctor Liu and the others face to face?"

Xin Youran: ...

She stood up suddenly, and her feet felt numb because of the suddenness. She subconsciously grabbed Mu Yuan beside her.

When she recovered, she realized that Mu Yuan's eyes were like a knife. Following the direction of his gaze, she realized that in a moment of panic, she grabbed him casually and actually grabbed his butt...

Oh my god, isn't this a definite dirty grope? She quickly let go, "Sorry, my feet are numb, my feet are numb, hehe."

Mu Yuan ignored her and cleared his throat awkwardly, "Which direction are you going next, my lady?"

They were at a crossroads, and it was indeed time to make a decision.

It was really a mistake. She still didn't know which direction to go to the capital. There wasn't even a map. It would be better for her to leave the vicinity of her master's house first.

"How about this? Let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide. If you win, we go south, and if I win, we go north. How about that?"

Mu Yuan looked at her as if she was a fool, then turned and walked north.

"It's so boring!"

Xin Youran followed him while complaining, "Mu Yuan, shouldn't we buy some food and drinks for the journey?"

"Fortunately, I still have a tael of silver here for our journey, but don't worry, everything will be fine once we reach the capital!"

Mu Yuan, who had been walking in front of him, stopped when he heard the word "capital" and asked, "Are you going to the capital?"

Xin Youran's eyes were a little evasive, and she said with a smile, "Yes, since we are going to escape, why don't we go to a big city with a lot of people? Wouldn't it be more convenient to hide there?"

Mu Yuan pretended not to care and continued walking forward. As soon as he heard the word "capital", he already knew what Xin Youran was planning.

If the two of them walked straight from here to the capital without stopping, it would take three days to reach the capital.

If you take into account the time for rest, meals, or any accidents that occur along the way, it will take at least seven days to reach the capital.

Time is running out, so he might have to move faster.

"Hey, hey, wait a moment, I'll go over there and ask for directions."

After Xin Youran finished speaking, she ran towards the shop over there. The main reason was that she saw a stall selling buns. It was almost lunchtime and she was really hungry.

She had already smelled the fragrance of these steaming buns!

"Boss, how much are these buns?"

"Meat ones are three cents each, and vegetarian ones are one cent. Would you like meat or vegetarian ones, young lady?"

Uh, she remembered that the five cents that Mu Yuan earned from collecting and selling firewood was still with her.

That was probably firewood that people collected with great effort and carried back to sell. Five cents could only buy one meat bun and two vegetarian buns...

It seems that she can buy a lot of buns with the penny she has!

"Boss, six meat buns and six vegetarian buns, please."

Our main theme is "Everything goes smoothly", doesn't it sound auspicious?

"Got it!"

When the boss heard that a wealthy customer had come, he quickly put the hot buns into Xin Youran's bag.

"Here, young lady, it's twenty-four coins."

Xin Youran counted the money and handed it to the man selling buns. "Here you go."

The moment she got the big meat buns, she picked one up and started showing off. She took a bite and the taste was just as she imagined!

The skin is soft, the meat inside is rich, tender and juicy, fragrant but not greasy, this fresh meat bun is really amazing!

Xin Youran ate several mouthfuls before she remembered what she was doing. She immediately turned back and asked the man at the bun shop, "By the way, which direction is the capital?"

Seeing Xin Youran buying so many buns and asking for directions, the uncle bluntly said, "Have you seen that man wearing a bamboo hat? Keep going in his direction. In about an hour, you'll see an inn. You can stop by to rest and ask for directions."

Um, the man wearing the bamboo hat is Mu Yuan...

"Thank you very much."

After thanking her, Xin Youran ran towards Mu Yuan with a dozen big buns in her hands.

After finally catching up with him, he asked, "Mu Yuan, didn't I just ask you to wait for me? Why did you leave on your own?"

"Come on, come on, try the meat buns from this bun shop! They're really delicious!"

Xin Youran took out a meat bun and handed it to Mu Yuan as she walked. Mu Yuan was forced to stop and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
