The matchmaker didn't expect this group of people to be so vicious, they drew their swords and threatened them if they disagreed with each other, even though they were used to the market, they couldn't help being frightened for a moment.

The man behind him was about to step forward, but Hong Niang quickly stretched out her hand to hold him down, and with a forced smile pushed aside the long sword in front of her and said:

"Why should a strong man do this? The brother and sister are in the house, and the strong man can go and see."

The man in black glanced at her, turned around immediately, and strode towards the house next to the tea stall.

The matchmaker followed closely, feeling uneasy, but she knew that if she lied and said that she had taken the medicine, the group would be very suspicious and might not believe it. If they searched the house again at that time, they found the injured Lou Rong Rong and Rong, I am afraid that they have nothing to do with it, and they will also be implicated.

If you say it frankly, it will not be easy to be suspicious. As long as these people have seen the pair of brothers and sisters, they will naturally understand that they are not the people they are looking for.

Even so, she was still full of worry, and hurriedly followed behind the group of people, watching the man in black kick open the door.

The two people in the room seemed to be taken aback. The younger sister was resting on the bed, and the older brother was sitting by the bed to take care of them. He opened his arms to protect his younger sister, and looked at the person coming with vigilant eyes.

The matchmaker hurried out to smooth things over:

"Look, strong man, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The man in black glanced at Lou Rongrong's bulging chest, the facial features that were obviously feminine and feminine, and his body that was too thin for a man, and the suspicion in his eyes faded a bit:

"You mean, they were injured when they were robbed by bandits?"

The matchmaker nodded quickly:

"Exactly."

The man in black turned his head to look at Lou Rongrong and Chen Erhe, squinted his eyes, and suddenly asked:

"Who do you plan to find after arriving in Song City?"

Because they had passed with Lou Rongrong before, they told the matchmaker that there was a distant cousin in the city, and they were going to join that cousin in the city, so when asked this question, Chen Erhe subconsciously opened his mouth to answer.

However, before he had time to make a sound, Lou Rongrong behind him pinched him lightly from an angle invisible to others as a reminder, and turned to ask vigilantly:

"Who are you? Why are we telling you? Besides, we're not going to Songcheng, we're here!"

Only then did Chen Erhe's back feel cold and he woke up. The man in black was clearly trying to make a fool of himself. Fortunately, Lou Rongrong's quick response prevented him from falling into the other party's trap.

The man in black stared at Lou Rongrong for a while, then smiled and said:

"This little girl is so fierce, it's strange that her brother was not injured, but she was born in trouble."

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, so they could only laugh with embarrassment.

After he laughed a few times, Fang took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to Chen Erhe who was on guard all over, as if kindly saying:

"Since you have been attacked by bandits, there is no need to interrogate you. If you are shocked today, the ten taels of silver should be regarded as an apology."

Chen Erhe hurriedly took the money, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lou Rongrong.

Lou Rongrong showed doubts on his face, but when he glanced at the silver, his eyes revealed an urgent longing. After a long battle between heaven and man, he gritted his teeth, took the silver from Chen Erhe, and said firmly:

"This is what you want to give me, don't go back on your word!"

The man in black observed for a long time, but he didn't see Lou Rongrong's flaws, so he let the villain go, and led them away from the tea stand without saying anything.

After they left, the matchmaker quickly comforted the two:

"Good boy, I scare you. Once the world is not peaceful, ghosts and monsters from all walks of life will come to bully people, alas..."

Lou Rongrong raised a smiling face, handed the money to the matchmaker, and comforted:

"It doesn't matter, isn't there nothing wrong with it? I got ten taels of silver for nothing. We owed Sister Hong to save us earlier, but we haven't repaid it. If Sister Hong doesn't mind it, let's accept it as a thank you gift."

The matchmaker didn't expect that Lou Rongrong would give the money to herself after changing hands, so she quickly shied away:

"You child, what are you talking about? Take it back quickly. You brothers and sisters are helpless. It is the time when you are short of money. This money is just used for emergency. What can you do for me?"

However, Lou Rongrong insisted again and again, and in the end the matchmaker had no choice but to accept it. She only thought about going to the city tomorrow and using the money to buy some clothes and food for the siblings.

After the matchmaker left, Chen Erhe breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:

"Okay now, we should have fooled those people, right?"

Lou Rongrong calmly said:

"It's not time to relax yet. If you're out for a day, you have to worry about it for a day. It's better to go to the city as soon as possible."

The excitement in Chen Erhe's heart faded a little, and he let out an aggrieved oh.

During the few days when Lou Rongrong was recuperating at the matchmaker's house, the news that the entire food delivery team was wiped out in the fire was finally discovered by the team sent by Song Cheng.

Food and grass were robbed, and the entire camp was burned. Lou Rongrong's body was never found. Everyone thought that Lou Rongrong died in the fire together with the entire grain transportation team.

Since the beginning of this war, Fei Fusu, whose whereabouts are erratic and has never been seen in front of others, rushed to the scene for the first time without stopping. He didn't know how many days he hadn't rested, and the aura around him was as cold as ever ice.

The Songcheng Sergeant who was in charge of responding on the side didn't even dare to approach, always feeling that if he said a wrong sentence, he would be separated the next moment.

Fortunately, Fei Wusu didn't ask any questions at all. Since he got off his horse, he walked straight into the ruins left by the fire that burned the entire camp.

Sergeant Cao hurriedly followed behind him. There were already advance troops to find all the bodies that died in the fire and put them in the open space.

Fei Wusu looked over one by one, the expression on his face became colder by the inch.

Juncao knew the purpose of Fei Wusu's trip, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly said:

"These are not the corpses of Princess Tianlu at first glance. The princess is delicate and expensive, how could she live with these rough men? Maybe she has escaped long ago, I don't know..."

He was babbling on and on, but Fei Wusu didn't listen at all, he just looked at each corpse carefully, especially some of the thinner ones.

No one knew that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, who was always cold-faced and iron-blooded, was now beating like a drum, and his mind was extremely flustered. He could not hear all the sounds around him, and there were only charred corpses in front of him.

The moment he knew that something happened to Lou Rongrong's team, he had already lost his mind. At this moment, he was just holding on, and there was still a trace of luck that allowed him to rush here overnight.

He always felt that he was familiar with Lou Rongrong, but at this moment, in front of every unrecognizable corpse, he always felt that this one also resembled her, and that one also resembled her.

But I also feel that none of them can be her.
