Litian County is the closest to Yukang Prefecture, and Jiang Qinyu and his companions only walked for half a day before entering Litian County.

"Sister-in-law, where should we go now?" Meng Tianze asked in a low voice.

His gaze was still vaguely looking back, and the One-Eyed King and his men were following them not far behind.

Jiang Qinyu looked forward and said, "Let's go to the largest inn here."

"Want to stay overnight again?" Meng Tianze's heart trembled. Staying in an inn requires money, and the largest inn must be the best. How expensive would it be for one night?

Jiang Qinyu soothed him, "We'll just open two rooms, shake off the tail behind us and leave the city. It won't cost too much money."

Compared to bringing the people behind him back to Dingshui Village and bringing disaster to everyone, what does spending a little more money matter?

"Okay, we'll follow your arrangements!" Meng Tianze thought about the people following him and had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Qinyu asked for directions and led her group straight to the largest inn in Litian County, Chongguang Inn.

As expected of a large inn, Jiang Qinyu and her companions' five carriages were quickly taken to the backyard and placed there.

At the front desk, no one turned their backs on them because they only booked two rooms. They just smiled and reminded them that if many people sleep in a crowded room, they need to ventilate the room, otherwise they will easily get sick.

Jiang Qinyu and others gathered together again, and not long after, Meng Tianze and Chen Shao also came in.

"What's going on? Are those people still following us?" Liu Erlang asked nervously.

Meng Tianze's face was solemn. "I followed you and booked a room on the second floor."

They had two inferior rooms and the second floor was for the middle-class rooms.

When everyone heard this, they felt a little heavier in their hearts. It seemed that those people had made up their minds to follow them.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Jiang Qinyu.

"Don't panic," Jiang Qinyu said calmly, "Let's do this... and then... "

After he explained his plan, the atmosphere in the room changed immediately.

The heaviness just now turned into eagerness to try, especially Chen Shao and Liu Yazi, the two guys seemed to be ready to fight.

"Let's get started without further ado!" Jiang Qinyu raised the corner of her lips. Want to follow them back to the village? Then give it a try!

……

The One-Eyed King had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Qinyu and the others' movements. After they checked into the room, he arranged for someone to keep an eye on the downstairs.

"Boss, they're out!" The person in charge of surveillance came to report quickly.

The One-Eyed King raised his chin to one of them and said, "Mouse, follow them and see."

The man called Rat immediately went out and followed Meng Tianze and Liu Erleng.

After a while, the stalker came back to report, "Boss, someone went out again..."

The One-Eyed King still sent someone to follow him.

Just like that, within a quarter of an hour, all the people around the One-Eyed King were sent out, even the stalkers were gone.

He could only stare downstairs by himself, and then found that Jiang Qinyu and others had stayed in the room without moving.

What the One-Eyed King didn't know was that while he was staring at Jiang Qinyu and the others, he was also being stared at by Jiang Qinyu and the others.

People have three urgent needs. When the one-eyed king went to the toilet, Jiang Qinyu and the others acted quickly. When the one-eyed king came back, it seemed that nothing had changed on Jiang Qinyu and the others' side.

An hour later, Meng Tianze and the others came back, and Lao Shu followed them back to the inn.

"What happened? What did they do?" the one-eyed king asked hurriedly.

The mouse scratched his head and said in surprise, "They didn't do anything. I just saw them going around the shops. Sometimes they would talk to the shopkeepers and ask about the prices."

"What on earth do they want to do?" The one-eyed king frowned and thought.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Boss, we haven't eaten anything all day, you see..."

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat!" The One-Eyed King scratched his hair in frustration, but he also knew his younger brother wouldn't work seriously if he wasn't full. "Tell the waiter to bring a few dishes to the room. After you finish eating, keep staring down there!"

"Thank you, boss!" Several younger brothers were overjoyed.

The inn's kitchen always wafted out delicious aromas, and they had been craving them for a long time.

On the other side, Jiang Qinyu and others took advantage of the time when they were eating to quickly unload the things in the carriage and hid them in the utility room of the inn.

After everyone returned to the room, Meng Tianze immediately asked again with concern: "Sister-in-law, can you really get everything to the city gate if you are left here alone?"

"Don't worry, Brother Meng. As long as you lead them all away, I will take care of the rest." Jiang Qinyu said confidently.

Just now, Meng Tianze and his companions went out and had already found a spot in a small alley near the city gate. Now Jiang Qinyu just needed to have someone deliver the things there and hand over the mule cart to the people from the mule and horse business.

"Okay then, we will divide into groups and go out to lure them all away. You will act according to the situation." Meng Tianze had no choice but to believe her at this moment.

Jiang Qinyu nodded and warned, "You should also be more careful and try to delay them. Just get rid of them and reach the city gate before leaving the city."

Everyone responded in unison and went their separate ways.

Jiang Qinyu took advantage of this time to quickly tidy up the space.

A quarter of an hour later, after making sure that the One-Eyed King and his men had all been lured away, Jiang Qinyu changed into women's clothes and came out of the house. She first checked out and then went to the backyard of the inn.

"Miss Jiang, right?" A waiter was standing guard at the door of the utility room.

Jiang Qinyu nodded and smiled, and stuffed a handful of copper coins into the other person's hand. "It's me, thank you, brother. Please use these copper coins to have a cup of tea."

"It's okay. There's no one in the backyard right now. Just do whatever you want to do. Call me if you have any problems." The shop assistant said cheerfully.

In those days, his monthly salary was only three hundred copper coins, and this girl paid dozens of copper coins at a time, so it was only natural for him to help by running errands.

"Thank you for your help in running the mule and horse business for us, brother. We really have an emergency at home, so we have to sell the carriage and go back quickly." Jiang Qinyu looked helpless.

"Well, who doesn't have trouble? Don't worry, Miss Jiang. I'll go and call for help from the brothers who are free in the store. The mule and horse market is only a short distance away from us."

Jiang Qinyu went with him to the mule and horse shop to sell all the carriages, got the receipts, and agreed with the people from the mule and horse shop where to hand over the newly bought mules. Only then did Jiang Qinyu return to the inn.

Jiang Qinyu sent the enthusiastic shop assistant away, entered the utility room of the inn, quickly put their things into the space, and left through the back door when no one was in the backyard.

Chongguang Inn was only two streets away from the location agreed upon with Meng Tianze and the others, and Jiang Qinyu arrived there in a short while.

As soon as she stood firm, someone from the mule and horse company came to hand over the mule cart.

"Oh, girl, you're really causing trouble. Couldn't you have just taken it away? Why did you make me run all this way?" The man complained while wiping his sweat.

Jiang Qinyu apologized, "I'm so sorry, my family has made an appointment with me here, and there are so many mule carts, I can't move them all at once, so I'm sorry to bother you, uncle."

After sending the mule and horse dealers away, Jiang Qinyu took out the things from the village and put them on the mule cart.

Five horse-drawn carriages were exchanged for twelve mule-drawn carts, each of which was equipped with a carriage so that things that were not afraid of falling or being exposed to the sun could be tied to the roof.

However, Jiang Qinyu couldn't do this job. After she finished everything she could, the sun was about to set.

Judging from the time, Meng Tianze and the others should be here, why haven’t they arrived yet?
