It was indeed Huo Zhongmao's voice.

Huo Changhe broke the rope at the mouth of the bag: "Me."

Huo Zhongmao stood up, surprised and delighted: "Prince, Princess! Why are you? This is too dangerous!"

"I have to save you in danger, so how can I leave you alone?" Yan Ruyu waved her hand, "Come out first and then talk."

Huo Zhongmao's feet were tied, as were his hands, but he managed to loosen them a little.

Huo Changhe cut the rope and pulled him out. The three of them were about to leave when suddenly there were footsteps and voices outside.

Huo Changhe immediately protected Yan Ruyu behind him, holding the dagger in his hand, and looked coldly at the door.

Yan Ruyu leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Huo Changhe nodded.

Yan Ruyu pointed to the inner room and asked Huo Zhongmao to go in and hide first. She and Huo Changhe stood behind the door, one on the left and the other on the right.

The people who came were the two nursing homes.

"Didn't you say that you would lock this guy up for a few days? You also said that you would ask him if he knows any fragrant recipes."

"I asked, but he refused to tell. Even after being beaten, he refused to tell. Then he said that he would give him a few days to see his color. I heard that someone was coming in front of him."

"Who is it? Who else can we be afraid of? The Qian family has to think carefully about opposing us."

"He's not from the Qian family. I heard that he's from the capital."

"Hey, that's a really distinguished guest."

"Who knows if it's expensive or not? Besides, the boss also has a backer."

"Hey, Brother Li, do you know who the employer's backer is? Tell me, I promise not to spread the word."

"I don't know this either. I heard it from the housekeeper before..."

The two said, pushing the door open and entering.

When I saw the deflated cloth bag on the ground, before I could react, I felt a pain in the back of my head and fell into darkness.

……

There are indeed distinguished guests ahead.

As soon as Song Ping took out the East Palace token, not to mention the owner of the incense shop, all the owners rushed over and immediately invited him to the main hall and presented him as a guest.

The owner's surname is Zhou. He is in his forties, has a smiling face and shrewd eyes, and is a standard businessman.

Song Ping sat down boldly, took a few sips of tea, and said slowly, "Boss Zhou's business is good."

Boss Zhou handed over his hand and said: "I make a living with a small business, just to earn a living."

"Your Excellency has come a long way, so why not stay for a few more days? Although Xucheng is not as good as the capital, it is still a big city nearby. I will do my best to be a landlord."

Song Ping chuckled lightly and put down the tea cup: "Thank you very much, Boss Zhou, for your kindness. Boss Zhou, your business is not small. I heard that even the governor's office sold you to save face."

"How dare you? I'm just a businessman. How can I get any respect? It's the governor's wife's small Buddhist hall. I just order some Buddhist incense from time to time."

Song Ping took over and said, "It's not easy for Boss Zhou to manage the business of the governor's wife. I heard that you are also from the capital. Do you know anyone you know? Maybe I know you."

Boss Zhou waved his hands repeatedly: "Shame, shame, you are joking. I am not from the capital. I just live in my family. I have a distant relative in my family who has several acres of thin fields on the edge of the capital. I don't know why it was passed around. , became my great relative from the capital."

"Your Excellency is from the capital. Tell me, no matter how good Xu City is, can it be better than the emperor? If I had that ability, I would have gone to the capital to find a job."

Song Ping lowered his eyes and looked at the water in the tea cup, thinking that this guy was really impeccable in what he said. This information was really hard to find out.

"I see," Song Ping picked up the token, "I thought that Boss Zhou was also a member of His Royal Highness, and wanted to get closer to you."

Boss Zhou stood up: "How can I reach His Highness the Crown Prince? If that were the case, the ancestral graves would have been covered in smoke."

He stepped forward and took out a few banknotes he had prepared: "It's hard for you to come from afar, so I'll use this little money to buy some wine for everyone."

Song Ping declined: "No, no reward for no merit. Boss Zhou just needs to return my people to me."

"Your people?"

"Well," Song Ping smiled slightly, "Boss Zhou doesn't know yet? Your people captured my people."

"Where do you start talking about this? I'm going to ask and see who has such courage!"

He went outside, whispered a few words to his men, and then cursed loudly before returning to the house.

Song Pingping didn't change his expression and looked at him: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Your Excellency, please forgive me. I must accept this money, even if it is a shock to that brother."

Song Ping didn't speak or refuse this time. Boss Zhou put the banknote on the table.

Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps in the yard, and someone brought a long cloth bag.

Boss Zhou said with an apologetic smile: "When people come, please don't be the same as me. I will let them apologize to this brother."

Song Ping sipped his tea and almost choked when he looked up at the person entering the room.

The one in front is Huo Changhe, who has changed into the clothes of the body guard. Although he has changed his appearance, Song Ping saw him when he came here, so he naturally knows it.

Behind is Beibei, who has also changed his clothes, but the clothes don't fit a bit, but he is in the back with his head downcast and no one pays attention to him.

Song Ping didn't know where this song came from, so he stood up subconsciously and said nothing.

Huo Changhe and Beibei carried the cloth bag, turned around and left without even looking at them.

Song Ping was confused and confused.

In the midst of the chaos, Boss Zhou ordered someone to open the rope, and the face of the knocked unconscious person inside was revealed.

Song Ping took a look and saw that it was not Huo Zhongmao at all.

"..." What is this?

How to act?

The spice shop was big and there were many nursing homes. Boss Zhou didn't know all of these people. Song Ping stared at that face for a long time.

"Boss Zhou, what do you mean?"

"It's all my fault. Come here, wake this brother up and ask the doctor to take a look!"

The person who came in looked down and said in surprise: "Li Si'er?"

Boss Zhou's smile solidified: "What Li Si'er?"

"My boss, he...he is ours, his name is Li Si'er."

Boss Zhou: "!!"

Song Ping slapped the table and pushed the tea cup down, breaking it to the ground: "Boss Zhou, are you kidding me?!"

Huo Zhongmao had been sent out of the house, and Huo Changhe asked the secret guards to pick him up and take him back to his residence.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu took Beibei with them. The three of them were behind the shadow of the trees outside the yard. When they heard the chaos, Yan Ruyu said, "Let's go and find another place."

Returning to the place where the patrol team was patrolling, Huo Changhe calculated their time and route, and figured out where they were most heavily defended.

"Over there, let's go."

This courtyard is much more exquisite than the previous courtyard where Huo Zhongmao was housed, with several layers of defense outside.

All of them are guards with swords, many times stronger than the previous one.

"This is it, that's right," Huo Changhe whispered, "I don't know if Quandao's sister is here, but this courtyard must be unusual."

Beibei suddenly pointed in one direction: "Your Majesty, Princess, look over there."

Yan Ruyu followed his gaze and saw something looming in the corner on the other side of the courtyard door.
