"How about sending the two guards back first?"

Jing Chunxi looked at Chongsan for advice. If there weren't enough horses, reducing the number of people would be the best solution.

July, however, explained, “Miss, September and I don’t ride horses.”

Although the secret guards were all skilled in martial arts, walking through the streets was still quite tiring. However, Jing Chunxi agreed to this suggestion. Practicing martial arts while away from home was not normal, so he thought it would be a good opportunity for them to practice their leg strength!

Ah Heng looked at them with a more and more profound look in his eyes. How did these six people suddenly appear? He had not noticed them at all. He was full of doubts. These people always seemed to appear inadvertently, yet they were not conspicuous.

Now after hearing what July said, he had vaguely understood: the people around the young lady were very powerful, and the young lady was able to subdue them, so she might be even more powerful.

With horses, the speed was much faster. In less than an hour, they had visited all the remaining houses and unloaded the food as planned.

Jing Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that he had unknowingly circled the city and was now entering the street where the Tao Mansion was located.

"stop!"

Jing Chunxi suddenly shouted and quickly reined in his horse. Jing Chunxi looked at Ah Heng. Only then did everyone realize that they had been too careless and almost let Ah Heng follow them into the house.

Xiao Man's expression instantly turned serious. He dismounted first and ordered Ah Heng, who was still on the horse, "Ah Heng, get off the horse quickly and go back."

He also reached out to Ah Heng, wanting to pull him off the horse. Seeing him so close to the young lady, Xiao Man felt uncomfortable.

Ah Heng frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Man's action. He shook his sleeves and said, "I will go down by myself."

After saying this, Ah Heng slowly dismounted. He didn't leave immediately, but waited for Jing Chunxi to dismount as well. Suddenly, he gently tugged at Jing Chunxi's sleeve. Jing Chunxi sensed something strange and couldn't help but look at him.

He reached into his neck and groped around, seemingly unintentionally, then suddenly said, "I've been running all day. Don't lose my pendant."

He took out a piece of black jade from his neck and gently waved it in front of Jing Chunxi's eyes. Ah Heng also touched it as if unintentionally.

Jing Chunxi's gaze froze. Ah Heng's black jade looked strangely familiar, as if it was exactly the same as the one on his chest.

At this time, she was very sure that Ah Heng's actions were intentional.

Jing Chunxi looked at Ah Heng again, and his eyes also glanced at the expression on Jing Chunxi's face. After confirming that Jing Chunxi's eyes were indeed fixed on the black jade, he lowered his head and put the black jade back into his chest as if nothing had happened. Then he patted his chest and said slowly: "Fortunately, it's not lost."

Jing Chunxi looked at him silently, without moving. Ah Heng slowly turned back to the horse's head and took out the bag of candy cakes. He said to Xiao Man in a voice that Jing Chunxi could hear: "My home is at the north gate, just two alleys away from your house. If you want to find me, just shout "little beggar" at the alley entrance a few times."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman suddenly reached out and grabbed him, causing Ah Heng's feet to almost leave the ground.

Xiao Man immediately realized something was amiss—how did this guy know so much? How did he know about their house at the north gate? Did he already know they were living in the Tao Mansion? Ah Heng's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, but he didn't let go.

Jing Chunxi heard every word Ah Heng said, knowing that it was meant for her. She reached out and patted Xiao Man's hand, signaling him to let go of Ah Heng and not allow him to make any more moves.

Jing Chunxi looked at Ah Heng with an unfathomable gaze and said, "The North Gate is still a bit far. I should have let you down earlier. You can ride your horse back to our house at the North Gate."

Seeing that Ah Heng didn't take the reins, but stared at his feet silently, as if waiting for something. Jing Chunxi thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Man and I will have dinner over there. You can bring mother and sister over to join us!"

Xiao Man was bewildered. Why would the young lady even think of coming over there for dinner? Even more perplexed was why the young lady was suddenly so polite to Ah Heng, inviting the entire family to dinner. He stared at Ah Heng intently, his eyes filled with vigilance, finally realizing this child was unusual.

Ah Heng looked at Jing Chunxi deeply and said, "Thank you, Miss. We will go."

He put the cakes back into the basket beside the horse's head, then climbed onto the horse. Only after the small figure had left did Jing Chunxi turn around and look around at them, saying, "Now you know why we had to enter through Chang'an Lane!"

Jing Chunxi is now very sure that when Ah Heng showed the black jade, she must have known that they had a relationship with the Tao family, and this was a test for her.

She has already thrown out the branch of goodwill, hoping that tonight will get the result that Tao Jin wants.

Jing Chunxi had a reason to speak so seriously to them. They were already very cautious in their comings and goings, and Ah Heng could tell what was going on.

There was no guarantee that other people besides Ah Heng would not become suspicious, so they all had to be extremely cautious.

Jing Chunxi asked Tang Shuang to dismount as well, and the two of them walked slowly towards Tao's residence. The others turned their horses around and went into the alley.
