"Yes... the city envoy called us here. He said that dozens of exiles have settled here and asked us to come and check."

"If you want to take me away and say something rude, is this what your city envoy means?" Yan Ruyu asked in return.

"No, no, the girl misunderstood. We were just talking. We don't dare to be disrespectful to you."

Yan Ruyu didn't believe this. With the way these people behaved, she, if she had been another woman, would have been insulted by them.

"Take out all your badges, identity as a spy, and the like," Huo Changhe ordered.

Several people didn't know why, but they didn't dare to disobey and took out everything.

Huo Changhe picked one who was about the same height as him: "You, take off your outer clothes."

The man shivered and took off his clothes again.

Yan Ruyu picked up the waistband and said calmly: "We can't let blood stain this."

Those few people just vaguely understood what she meant, and she and Huo Changhe raised their swords in tacit agreement.

The smell of blood filled the entire alley.

Huo Changhe said: "You go back first, I will handle it."

Yan Ruyu nodded, turned around and walked back.

Entering the courtyard, he waved to the eldest lady who was standing at the door and looked around, and then went to see Yan Song.

Yan Song was drinking in the house. The messy things outside had no impact on him. The messier the better.

When Song Hu saw Yan Ruyu coming, he was about to stop him, but she kicked him away and pointed the tip of the knife. Song Hu immediately became scared.

At first, Song Hu wanted to follow Yan Song and bully the Huo family. It felt good to think that the royal family members who were originally aloof were now being driven away by them.

But along the way, he discovered that it was not what he imagined, especially Yan Ruyu. He didn't know why or when, but he had an unspeakable fear of Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu pushed the door open and entered the house. The door hit the wall with a clang, which startled Yan Song.

After seeing that it was her, Yan Song drank all the wine in the glass: "Why are you so crazy?"

Yan Ruyu looked cold: "Yan Song, let me make a deal with you."

Yan Song almost laughed angrily: "You? With me? Talking about a deal? Did I hear you correctly?"

"Of course not," Yan Ruyu put the blood-stained knife on the table, "To make a long story short, during this period, I don't care what method you use to keep this small temple safe. Like today, the city guards or people from the government are deliberately looking for trouble. Don't let it happen again."

Yan Song lowered his eyes and glanced at the knife on the table. When he saw the blood on the knife, his heart skipped a beat: "You..."

"Yan Song, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, it has nothing to do with me, but if you want to step on us and get to the top, that's impossible. This is my attitude. Do you understand?"

Yan Song stood up suddenly: "Yan Ruyu, I gave you face, didn't I?

Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some leverage over me. To tell you the truth, this time things are different from the past, and you can't handle it! "

"I just don't know you as well. Don't think you are so great. So what about King Zhennan? Aren't you afraid to show up now?"

Yan Song chuckled: "I don't care about your tricks and handles! When I get promoted and hold great power, I want to see who dares to talk nonsense."

Yan Ruyu pierced the tip of the knife into the table and leaned on the handle: "Gaosheng? Holding great power?

Yan Song, do you think I would let you live if something went wrong between us?

To tell you the truth, even if I die, I will keep you on my back. "

"Try it," Yan Song said with a sinister expression, "Let's see who of us dies first."

Before she finished speaking, Yan Ruyu held the handle of the knife in her hand, and the tip of the knife suddenly slipped forward, and the blade was pointed at Yan Song. He was completely unprepared, and a bloody gash was opened on his arm.

"You!" Yan Song screamed in pain. The moment he opened his mouth, Yan Ruyu threw something into his mouth.

Yan Song stopped crying in pain, put his hand on his throat, and stared at Yan Ruyu angrily: "What did you feed me?"

"I've finished what I said. As for whether to do it or not, it's up to you."

After Yan Ruyu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Yan Song picked up the wine glass and smashed it at her feet: "Yan Ruyu, what did you feed me!"

Yan Ruyu turned back and said, "You will know if you try it, right? I promise, if anything goes wrong between us, you will die first. Go to hell with Gao Sheng!"

Yan Song's eyes widened with anger and he almost wanted to burst into flames: "Yan Ruyu, there is a plague outside now, do you think you can escape it?"

Yan Ruyu turned around and walked up to him, holding the table with both hands, half-smiling but not smiling: "Yan Song, don't be so smart.

I'm talking about the city guards and the people from the yamen today. I am just telling you, not begging you. If you agree, you will be better off;

If you don't agree, the worst I can do is kill a few more people, and when the incident comes to light, who will be the unlucky one? "

Yan Song's expression suddenly changed.

Yan Ruyu wiped the blood from the tip of the knife: "Go and tell me that I killed the person and see if anyone believes it."

Yan Ruyu chuckled lightly and strode away.

Yan Song looked at her back and was so angry that his head wanted to burst into flames.

"Yan Ruyu!" Yan Song brushed the things on the table to the ground.

Damn it, why didn’t I just strangle her to death before?

Yan Ruyu didn't care whether Yan Song was angry or not, she was very happy anyway.

The plague will not come. If Yan Song can block other officers and soldiers, it will be easier. It is equivalent to a pure land for them.

Just take the opportunity to rest for a while.

Back in the house, the eldest lady took her to measure her. Yan Ruyu didn't have many sets of clothes, and the Yan family didn't prepare them for her. The only two sets were ready-made clothes she bought in a small town before, and they didn't fit well. .

The eldest lady measured carefully and not only made her outer clothes, but also made new ones inside and out.

"Mother, don't run out of cloth. It doesn't matter to me. I'll prepare some winter clothes for Heng'er."

"Don't worry, I know it well. You won't need much of such a big one."

Yan Ruyu naturally has a lot of inventory, but she just doesn't say so because she is afraid that she will not care about others.

Huo Changxu knocked on the door and came in: "Mom, sister-in-law, it seems like it's going to rain. I want to go out before it rains."

The eldest lady frowned: "What are you doing out there? Just stay here."

"I want to buy some medicinal materials to dispel cold or clear away heat," Huo Changxu replied, "It's better to have some medicinal materials on hand than none."

"You don't know medical skills, so why are you going to buy medicinal materials? The streets are so chaotic now, so don't add to the chaos," the eldest lady sighed, "Just go and stay with Tuotuo. He is so diligent, so you should learn from him. "

Huo Changxu: In your mind, I am not even as good as a fat guy, right?

"Sister-in-law, I..."

"Don't call you sister-in-law," the eldest lady said forcefully, "just be obedient and stay here, so that your sister-in-law can worry less."

"You don't have to worry about the medicinal materials. I have prepared them. I will bring them out when I need them.

Changxu, you and Huo Zhongmao make a book together. How many people are there in each family, how old they are, and what each person is good at. Remember them one by one.

I will be useful in the future. "

When Huo Changxu heard that there was something to do, he became excited and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The eldest lady watched Huo Changxu go out and sighed.

"Ruyu, thank you for your willingness to forgive this child regardless of past grudges."

"Mom, he is my husband's biological brother. He is willing to turn around after hitting a wall. I am willing to give him a chance. If it is someone else, that is another matter."

The eldest lady was startled, then laughed out loud: "Well said, I like your honesty.

You don’t know that I was in charge of the palace before. Needless to say about my own affairs, I had to attend this banquet and that meeting when I had nothing to do. I had false faces and words that were so convoluted that they could twist people’s intestines. Tie a knot. "

"I'm fine now. After leaving the capital, I feel like I'm living again, and living a meaningful life," the eldest lady sighed, "I feel now that this trip to exile may not necessarily be a disaster."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "Mother is wise."

She looked out the window at the horizon. The sky was overcast and rain was coming soon.
