When Jing Mo found Bai Ying, the latter was squatting in front of an inn with Shang Lu, researching which room was the cheapest to live in.

At that time, Bai Ying and Shang Lu had just finished their disguise, they were dressed in tattered mud, and passers-by subconsciously avoided them.

However, the person involved didn't care, as if he didn't realize it.

Shanglu was used to scrambling in the bottom heap since he was a child. Sometimes he had to avoid his enemies, and he hadn't done anything with no limit, let alone a mere disguise.

As for Bai Ying, she hated it at the beginning. She had suffered worse than this when she was marching and fighting, but since it was not necessary, she didn't want to make herself so dirty.

But soon Baiying discovered the benefits of such a "disguise".

Perhaps it was because her younger sister was too decisive, Linhua City, which was originally loosely managed, was under martial law, and there were teams of people on the street investigating one by one.

But what they investigated were only ordinary people. As for the beggars on the street, they all ignored them in disgust——

Although Bai Ying and Shang Lu did not intend to pretend to be beggars, they looked almost the same.

Thus, the danger of being immediately discovered and taken back to the palace was instantly reduced to a minimum.

In other words, Bai Ying's plan to leave the palace is basically half successful.

Now that she has obtained such convenience, Her Majesty the big-hearted Empress doesn't care about that little external problem.

As long as he can leave the palace successfully, all sacrifices are worth it.

Bai Ying was very satisfied with this.

Originally, Bai Ying and Shang Lu planned to leave Linhua City as soon as possible. After all, Linhua City is adjacent to the capital, and the closer they are, the higher the risk of being discovered. It is better to fly far away as soon as possible.

But before the two people who reached a consensus started to run away, Shang Lu's friend came to the door and asked Shang Lu to stay in Linhua City for another two days, and she would take them away when the time came.

Shanglu's friend is called Su Ye, but he doesn't look like Shanglu's previous dress of a commoner knight, but a light gauze shirt and a veil, and looks like he ran out of some flower street.

The only difference was that Su Ye had a gem-studded dagger pinned to his waist, but it looked more like an ornament than a weapon.

Bai Ying didn't like to judge people by their appearance, but she could feel the woman's contemptuous attitude, and it seemed that she was not only targeting her, but she was more restrained when facing Shanglu.

How could two people who are so different from each other become friends, and Shanglu seemed to trust her quite a bit.

Bai Ying was a little curious, but she didn't ask any further questions. All she was thinking about now was how to run away first, and she wasn't interested in the interpersonal relationships of people she met by chance.

Su Ye dropped a little bit of silver and told them to live in a nearby inn, then turned and left with a hasty footstep.

Shang Lu joyfully held the silver and waved towards Su Ye's back.

When Su Ye's back disappeared from sight, Shang Lu looked back at Bai Ying, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and let out a long sigh.

"Hey, it's a good thing she didn't notice you."

Shang Lu seemed relieved, Bai Ying was a little surprised by this attitude, and followed Shang Lu to explain a few words.

"Su Ye has that attitude towards everyone. Don't worry about it. It would be bad if she treated you with a pleasant face."

"Special status?" Bai Ying asked.

"I don't know too well. It seems to be someone from some organization. They release some messy tasks every day, and they also seduce people. Anyway, it's very troublesome. We'd better not get involved in it. If they notice, please go to the boss. Drinking tea is bad."

"You trust her very much," Bai Ying said.

"Well, identity is identity, and friends are friends. This is not a conflict." Shang Lu looked at it very openly, "Su Ye saved me before, she has a lot of ideas in doing things, and you can't go wrong if you listen to her. It's a life-threatening friendship, and she won't harm me."

Bai Ying nodded noncommittally.

"So let's go to that inn to stay first."

Shanglu patted Baiying on the shoulder very optimistically, and dragged her directly to the front of the inn.

"After two nights of rest, you can go wandering around the world."

Bai Ying was more interested in the last few words, and she was a little bit concerned about Shanglu's friend, so she nodded in response.

But after arriving at the inn, the problem came——

They don't have enough money to stay for two nights.

When the two of them left the palace, they took advantage of the chaos and made a sudden decision. Of course, they didn't remember to plan in advance what to bring.

As a result, they only had the little silver that Su Ye gave them just now.

The place Su Ye was pointing to was the largest inn in Linhua City. It was located in a bustling place, and the price was naturally quite high.

After being told the price slowly by the innkeeper, the two looked at each other for a while, then squatted in the corner silently, and began to count the silver.

Although Bai Ying has been fighting abroad for many years, she is not as pampered and pampered as ordinary royal princesses, but she has never worried about money. This is a novel experience.

So when counting the money, Bai Ying was even more involved than Shang Lu, and she didn't even notice the arrival of her best friend.

Just as Bai Ying followed Shang Lu, arguing with the shopkeeper about the price for a long time, Jing Mo walked up behind them.

"Boss, two upper rooms." A gentle voice sounded behind the two of them.

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, he wept with joy almost immediately, wishing he could rush up to hug Jing Mo and shout "good guy".

Different from Shang Lu's pure gratitude and joy, Bai Ying couldn't help her eyelids twitching the moment she heard Jing Mo's voice. She was so scared that she was so grateful, leaving only a guilty conscience.

Bai Ying was not at all surprised that Jing Mo could find her so quickly, nor was she surprised that she could see through her perfect disguise.

Not to mention the tacit understanding between the two childhood sweethearts since they were young, during the battle alone, when Bai Ying was separated from the team occasionally, Jing Mo was always the first to find her.

For a long time, Bai Ying never doubted that Jingmo had any special abilities about herself, which is one of the reasons why Jingmo was called "the magic stick" by her colleagues.

In other words, Jingmo may know Baiying better than she herself, and coupled with that evil "magic stick" ability, it will be a matter of time before she finds Baiying who has run away from home.

Although she left a letter early in the morning, and knew that Jing Mo could not really reprimand her, Bai Ying still couldn't help feeling guilty.

After all, it was me that my old friend came back to see, but I just left when she just came back.

Seeing the other party's pretended sad and wronged expression, Bai Ying felt even more guilty, so that she didn't dare to intervene in the next development.

"Aying is easy for me to find." Jing Mo complained half-truthfully, and immediately dispelled the suspicion of the shopkeeper and Shanglu.

"You guys know each other?" Shanglu asked curiously.

"Yes, I have known Ah Ying since we were young, but we were weak and went out to recuperate for a few years. I never thought that Ah Ying would disappear as soon as I came back. I have been looking for it for a long time."

Jing Mo covered his mouth and coughed twice, coupled with his pale face, he looked even more fragile.

Although Bai Ying knew that she was probably faking it, she still couldn't help becoming nervous, and even directly ignored the double contemptuous gazes, and directly grabbed Jing Mo's wrist.

Seeing Bai Ying's worried expression, Jing Mo quickly stopped teasing her, pressed Bai Ying's hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay."

Bai Ying stared at Jing Mo for a while, and then slowly relaxed.

On the other hand, Shanglu seems to have a special sense of trust in the word "friend". When he heard that this kind-hearted man met the "little brother" he just met, he immediately let go of the remaining guard.

"Thank you very much, but since we are friends, I will not be polite."

Shang Lu very naturally replaced the friendship, and then turned to urge the shopkeeper.

"boss?"

The gray-haired old shopkeeper twirled his beard, squinted his small eyes and looked at the three of them, looking at Shanglu, and then at Baiying and Jingmo who were leaning together.

At such an old age, the old shopkeeper is considered well-informed, so it is natural to see that Jing Mo is well-dressed and must have a good fortune.

As for the other two, they looked like young women of the right age, not such vulgar beggars on the surface.

It's just that the two dressed up like this on purpose, and he couldn't afford the money, so he naturally didn't say much, but since the business came, he had to confirm it again.

After going back and forth several times, the old shopkeeper finally opened his mouth slowly before Shang Lu urged him again.

"Two rooms?" The old shopkeeper stretched out two fingers and reconfirmed, "This girl doesn't seem to be able to pay for three rooms..."

Shanglu looked back at Baiying, then at Jingmo, and finally at the shopkeeper, with a dazed expression on his face as if he finally understood.

——That's right, now that they are dirty, it's normal for clean girls to dislike them.

Otherwise, let Shang Lu say it, in fact, one room is enough.

Shang Lu consciously discovered the truth, so he decided to take the initiative to smooth things over: "It's okay, the two of us can live together..."

As he said that, Shang Lu winked at Bai Ying vigorously, while trying to reach out to pull her.

However, with a smile on his face, Jing Mo put down two rooms of silver money on the counter, took Bai Ying with one hand, and with a light tug, he avoided Shanglu's hand.

"Only two rooms." Jing Mo said, his tone as gentle as ever, "Aying and I live in one room."

At this moment, Her Lady Queen, who was always majestic, dared not do anything except nod her head.
