Yan Ruyu came out of Luo's house and didn't rush back home. The carriage moved slowly on the street.

When passing by a teahouse, I saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door. People entering and leaving the teahouse all stopped to take a look.

Yan Ruyu asked Linlang to park the carriage aside and lifted the curtain to look upstairs.

At this time, Beibei, dressed as the wealthy businessman "Li Lin", was meeting with the second butler of the Qiu family.

The second butler had no intention of meeting Li Lin. The name was too unfamiliar. Mainly, the Qiu family was wealthy and powerful, so he looked down on ordinary people.

But I heard that Li Lin came from outside the Great Wall and was good at trade, so I met him only then.

This sight was amazing. Li Lin was dressed elegantly, and the gems on his boots alone almost blinded his eyes.

The second housekeeper Jing Luoshan, not caring whether Li Lin's name was real or not, smiled and bowed, saying, "Brother Li, nice to meet you."

Beibei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, nice to meet you."

The second butler originally had the surname Li, but later he followed Aunt Su to do things. He made Aunt Su happy after several attempts. After Aunt Su persuaded him, the master of the Qiu family gave him the surname Qiu.

"Brother Li, where are you from? What do you want to see me for?"

Beibei looked around and said, "Why don't we find a place to talk?"

The second butler suggested going to a teahouse, and Beibei happily went there. Before he even finished a pot of tea, he explained his purpose.

The second housekeeper thought he had misheard: "You want to buy cloth? There are many cloth shops in Youcheng, how..."

Beibei waved her hand: "Of course there are many cloth shops, but I have seen them, they are all too fancy and expensive. Brother Qiu, you know I am going to the outside of the Great Wall. Those barbarians don't care whether it looks good or not, as long as it is thick and strong."

He changed the subject and complimented, "I have heard of Brother Qiu's name in Shencheng. You are the head of the trade association. Some important matters need your approval. That is why I came to Youcheng from Shencheng."

"Brother Qiu, please give me this favor and help me find this kind of cloth in the city."

As Beibei spoke, he pushed over a purse that was bulging and quite heavy.

The second butler was so flattered by the praise that he became carried away, and when he saw the money bag, he became even more delighted.

"As long as I can do it, I will make sure it's done. How much cloth do you want and what's the price?"

Beibei made a hand gesture, and the second butler almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

My heart was pounding with laughter in my chest.

He did a quick calculation and figured out that if he resold the cloth he had collected from the Cheng family, he could make nearly two thousand taels without moving the place he was in!

Even if he gave Aunt Su one thousand taels, he could still make a few hundred taels of profit.

This is such a fat sheep!

The second housekeeper calculated quickly in his mind, but his expression remained calm: "Although the price is not too high, the cloth you want is not a fashionable pattern, so it is not impossible to make it."

"Oh, I knew I would go no wrong by finding Brother Qiu!"

Beibei clapped her thigh happily and poured him more tea.

Beibei was in a hurry and the second butler also wanted to get the money quickly, so the two sides hit it off and took quick action.

Yan Ruyu was sitting in the carriage and saw Beibei leaving the teahouse and heading to the gate of Qiu Mansion with the second butler.

"Let's go." Yan Ruyu ordered.

It's done.

When they returned to the mansion, Huo Changhe had not returned yet, so Song Ping came to report: "Princess, the prince is leaving and asked me to report to you that the prince has gone to Shenyuan Temple."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay."

Shenyuan Temple, Hou Bulai has an appointment with a mysterious person today, and the time is set in the evening. Huo Changhe goes there early to make arrangements.

Kongming also returned to the temple. He saw many familiar faces, and several managers in the temple had not "changed", but he knew that everything was different.

These people are Huo Changhe's men on the surface, but in fact they are all Huo Changhe's men.

He didn't want to care about these things. He returned to his yard. Everything was still the same as before, except that no one had lived there for many days and the house was cold and deserted.

Just as he was about to clean, he turned around and saw a figure projected in from outside the door. He was startled and quickly looked back.

"Your Majesty? Why are you…"

Huo Changhe stepped in: "I have something to do tonight, and I need to do it here."

Kong Ming didn't dare to say more, he knew that Huo Changhe had more to say.

"Kongming, you have escaped death, all because of the princess's kindness. She allowed you to return to the temple. You can stay in the temple, but it must be a normal temple."

Kong Ming lowered his head even more: "Yes."

"Be quiet for two days, then find two suitable places in the back mountain. When the time comes, come back and bury the body of the monk in the cave."

Kong Ming looked up in surprise. Huo Changhe looked at him coldly, "What is that thing in the cave in the back mountain? I don't need to tell you. It is a place that harms people and we must not leave it there."

Kong Ming's heart trembled: "Yes."

"Finding his grave is a good deed for you."

Kongming clasped his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude.

Huo Changhe said no more and turned to leave.

The secret guard stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, since I arrived at the temple, nothing unusual has happened, and no one has come to the back mountain."

None of the contact persons showed up.

Huo Changhe tapped the edge of the table with his fingers. "It's been a long time, and no one has come yet. I'm afraid we've been exposed. Once tonight's incident is over, we'll follow the original plan, destroy what needs to be destroyed, and evacuate in an orderly manner."

"Yes."

As the sky gradually darkened, the temple was hidden in the mountains and forests, as if it was gradually falling asleep.

Hou Bulai was so nervous in the small gatehouse at the back door that his palms were sweating.

One of his old friends, due to his family's poverty, had to become a monk in the temple and was responsible for guarding the back door.

It was not until now that Hou Bulai realized how thoroughly the mysterious man understood him, and he felt a little suspicious.

The mysterious man knows him so well, could he have known that he has taken refuge with the Prince of Zhennan's Palace? Will he come tonight?

But his mind was in a state of confusion and he didn't dare to run or talk nonsense. He knew very well that if he didn't cooperate, he would be beaten to death as soon as he walked out of the door.

Death is the only option left, so one can only carefully follow the path marked by the Prince of Zhennan.

As I was daydreaming, I suddenly saw a shadow reflected on the window.

He was startled, his voice trembling a little: "Who?"

The shadow outside the window did not move, the voice was low and hoarse, and there was a unique feeling that was hard to describe.

"Hou Bulai, how is the thing I asked you to do going?"

Hou Bulai listened carefully, trying to tell from his voice whether he was a man or a woman. This was also one of the tasks assigned to him by the King of Zhennan.

"It's settled. That group of people was robbed by Feng Damazi. There were two large carts full of stuff, all good stuff."

As Hou Bulai spoke, he took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "This is as we agreed before, a reward of one thousand taels."

He looked at the shadow and pursed his lips slightly: "How can I give it to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew through the window paper with a "swish".

A flying cat flew into the house and snatched the banknote away.

Hou Bulai was so frightened that he could not help but scream "Ah!", and then he looked more closely and found that his hand was empty.

Besides being frightened, he also secretly thought that something was wrong. The Prince of Zhennan told him to observe this person as much as possible to see if he had any special features.

Now, let alone observing each other face to face, they don’t even match up!
