I survived as a female assassin

It was both dangerous and a rare opportunity. The news that Blood Shadow was not dead made someone anxious.

I’m afraid you’re not anxious enough, because if you’re anxious you’ll reveal your flaws.

"Two guests, please go upstairs."

The waiter was quite flexible and greeted Xin Youran with a smile again.

Xin Youran thought Mu Yuan was unhappy with her arbitrary decision, so she pulled him to follow the waiter.

After the waiter led them into the room, he politely asked, "Would you two like to eat anything?"

Speaking of food, Mu Yuan hasn't eaten much all day, and he didn't eat the buns she bought. Now she has to reward him well and take care of his mood.

"Bring two of your signature dishes, two servings of white rice, a pot of tea, and some hot water."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter said this and left the room, considerately closing the door.

At this time, Mu Yuan put the bag on the table, first looked at the position of the window, stuck his head out to take a look, then closed the window, took off his hat, and sat down on the chair.

Xin Youran thought this person was quite cautious, and suddenly thought of something, "Mu Yuan, is there something wrong with this inn?"

Mu Yuan glanced at Xin Youran. Why did this woman keep moving closer to him when she was talking?

He stood up in a panic for a moment, "I don't know."

A top assassin wouldn't be so vigilant, right?

She must have been testing him by asking this.

"Then why are you so nervous about closing the window? There's a bamboo forest outside. Only by opening the window can you smell the fresh bamboo."

Seeing Xin Youran was about to open the window, Mu Yuan quickly diverted her attention, "You need to stay in a hotel and eat. Do you have enough money on you?"

After hearing what Mu Yuan said, it really reminded her. Then she put all the silver she had on the table and began to count the copper coins.

"When I was registering with the shopkeeper downstairs just now, I saw the menu. A serving of braised beef in soy sauce is only forty coins. I only ordered two signature dishes, so at most it would cost a hundred coins."

"I paid 500 coins for the hotel, and now I have less than 400 coins left, which is enough for me to live on."

Mu Yuan nodded casually. He didn't care about the money at all. He just found an excuse to prevent Xin Youran from opening the window.

If they really encounter someone who wants to assassinate them, this window will be a breakthrough.

After only half an incense stick of time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Xin Youran said as she walked to the door and opened it.

The waiter came in with a tray and placed the food on the table. He then explained to Xin Youran, "My dear guests, hot water requires extra payment."

Xin Youran: ...

Are you afraid that she can't even afford the hot water?

"Just do it, no need to waste time talking!"

"Okay, I'll bring you hot water right away. I won't disturb you two from resting."

He said that between this man and woman, the woman should be the one who has the final say in the family. Judging from the man's clothes, he seems to have no status!

It's so pitiful that as a man he doesn't even have the right to speak. In today's world, his wife must be a powerful person.

After Xin Youran saw the people walk away, she spoke up, "Before we went upstairs, there were six tables of people downstairs, and three of them had knives on them."

"It's very likely that they're coming for me."

"If they come and kill me, you'll just have to hide."

"Then I'll lure them out, and you can find a chance to escape."

"If you can escape, don't look back. Hurry to the capital without stopping."

"This is all the money we have left after paying for the food and hot water at this inn. Take it and use it on your way to the capital."

Mu Yuan looked at Xin Youran's serious analysis, as if he didn't know this person anymore. Yes, this is what Blood Shadow should look like.

But her words were all about his consideration...

Why was she so nice to him when she had plenty of opportunities to kill him and complete the mission?

Thinking back on these days, despite being a chatterbox, she was very caring towards him. Whenever she made something delicious, she would think of him and even picked wild flowers for him...

Thinking of this, he quickly opened his bag and carefully took out the bottle of wild flowers. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Xin Youran was completely baffled by his actions. "No, we're running for our lives. Why are you bringing it with you?"

"Did you remember everything I told you?"

As he said this, he put all the money into his bag and said, "Remember to buy food when you are hungry. Don't worry about whether it is clean or not. The most important thing is to eat enough."

Mu Yuan looked at the vase of wild flowers and placed it on the windowsill. He turned his back to Xin Youran and said suddenly, "You won't die."

The secret guards under his command are all top-notch masters, and even the people from [Falling Rain] have few who can be their match.

"Wha, what?"

His voice was so soft that Xin Youran thought she had misheard.

Mu Yuan turned around and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he sat down on the chair and started eating elegantly with his chopsticks.

Xin Youran: ...

Only then did she turn her attention to the food on the table. There was indeed a plate of stuffed beef, the meat slices looked fat and lean, and the color was attractive. Another plate was tiger skin green peppers, which looked very appetizing. There was also a side dish of refreshing dried radish, which should be a gift. There were two bowls of rice. This bowl was much larger than the one she used to eat at home, and it was quite substantial.

Looking at the steam coming out of the teapot filled with tea, I wonder what kind of tea it is and how it tastes.

She quickly poured two cups of tea and handed one to Mu Yuan.

It was black tea, and it smelled of wood. Looking at the tea, she suddenly remembered that when such scenes often appeared in TV dramas, something usually went wrong.

"Wait a minute, Mu Yuan, there's no poison in this food and tea, right?"

"You'd better not eat it yet. Let me try it first."

Mu Yuan:......

If there was anything wrong with this inn, the secret guards would have warned them the moment they set foot here.

Is she too nervous? She's said she won't die...

"Sit down and eat."

"We're all going to die anyway, so why not have a good meal?"

After hearing what Mu Yuan said, Xin Youran suddenly realized!

That’s the truth!

At a time like this, she might as well just lie down, so she picked up her chopsticks and ate a large piece of stuffed beef.

Well, it's pretty good. The flavor of the spices does not cover the flavor of the beef. The beef flavor is very strong, the meat contains tendons, and the meat slices are red and white. It is tender and refreshing when you put it in your mouth, not hard or dry!

It is really a great dish to go with wine, and it deserves to be the signature dish of their inn.

The tiger skin green peppers are also very tasty, soft, glutinous, salty and fragrant. Take a bite and then eat a few mouthfuls of rice. It’s absolutely delicious!

"Mu Yuan, you're quite conscious. If we had known earlier, we would have ordered more dishes and spent all the money. The food in this inn is really good."

Mu Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
