Yan Ruyu took out a piece of paper with a portrait on it.

It's so lifelike that you can tell it's a great scholar at a glance.

"Do you know him?"

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and he hesitated but still did not deny it: "I have the impression that I came here to buy paper."

Gu Rongrong gave a short laugh: "Shopkeeper, don't tell secrets in front of people. Who do you belong to? Just tell me."

The shopkeeper forced a smile: "My boss's surname is Chen. He's either a local, or he sent me and I to manage the business. I don't know where I offended my wife..."

Yan Ruyu put the portrait away: "Business? How many orders can your store make in a day? How much does it make? How much is the rent? Is your boss stupid or crazy to let you do this kind of business?"

"Or are you saying that you don't care about apologizing and have other motives?"

Sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead.

Daru was a little uneasy today. For some reason, he always felt frightened.

Holding the news just received, I comforted myself that I must have not had a good rest these days. After today, I need to take a good rest.

As soon as I entered the paper shop, the boy who was cleaning the shop looked over.

There are three people in the store, two clerks, and a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper and one of the shopkeepers work together, and the other shopkeeper is recruited from the local area and knows nothing.

The person in front of me just doesn't know anything.

The scholar asked as if nothing had happened: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

"You're here, the shopkeeper and Xiao Li are behind." The boy put down what he was holding, "I'll take you there."

The scholar waved his hand: "No, I'll go by myself, you can do your work."

He was also a regular customer and had a good relationship with the shopkeeper. The little boy was not polite and left it to him.

The backyard was quite quiet, and there was a little movement in the wing, where they usually met and discussed.

The scholar didn't think much, and knocked on the door. Before there was an answer, he pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as he came in, he was stunned for a moment.

He knew everyone inside: the person sitting on the chair carelessly twisting the paper was Yan Ruyu; the person sitting opposite her was Huo Changhe, although his appearance was a little changed, he could still recognize it; the person standing on the side was the abbot.

Looking at the other side, the shopkeeper and the waiter were tied up.

The scholar opened his mouth, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and whatever he said at this moment seemed pale.

Yan Ruyu looked up at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "I didn't expect to see you here."

Da Ruxin said that he didn't know anything, but he clearly knew it, so he came here to block him.

The scholar smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Princess, they are not evil people, why don't they talk freely?"

Huo Changhe sneered, his eyes colder than ice: "You still have time to care about others? Why not take care of yourself first."

The scholar sighed, lifted up his robe and knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me, but I have no choice but to conceal my identity. I dare not disobey my master's instructions. However, my master has no ill intentions. I just don't want to cause any trouble to your lord. I am stupid and cannot do things properly." unfavorable."

Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is your master?"

The great scholar put his hand into his arms, and the abbot shouted from the side: "He wants to get a gun!"

Da Ru: "??"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Abbot: "Sorry, I said it wrong."

Da Ru took out a small cloth bag. The small cloth bag was dusty and inconspicuous, and it didn't seem to contain any money.

The scholar didn't take out the things, but offered them to him with both hands.

Huo Changhe took the small cloth bag and pinched it with his fingers, guessing what it was. However, when he opened the dough bag and saw the golden color inside, he was still stunned.

He guessed it was a token, but he didn't expect it to be this color.

This can only be used by the royal family.

Huo Changhe handed the token to Yan Ruyu. Yan Ruyu took out half of it and said in surprise: "Are you from the Sixth Prince?"

The scholar nodded: "Back to the princess, that's right."

Huo Changhe whispered: "The sixth prince's mother's concubine is named Chen."

The shopkeeper just said that the owner's surname is Chen.

"The two of them were deployed from other places," Da Ru took over. "On the night when the palace was sentenced to exile, the Sixth Prince ordered someone to go to the place closest to Youcheng with the letter. The shopkeeper and Xiao Li received Xin came here just to settle down and inquire about the situation secretly, so that if one day the prince is in trouble and needs them, they can help. "

Huo Changhe was stunned. Was it the night the prince was sentenced to exile? The Sixth Prince started making arrangements for him?

"Master said, although he is a low-key person with little say, he still has some loyal people under his command. The Chen family has also made some efforts in recent years. They are not afraid of the prince's jokes. The expenses of the master's house cannot be covered by just that salary. Enough? Thanks to the Chen family’s business, they often subsidize it.”

"Master said that the prince's safety is the most important thing. If the prince has trouble living here, let us help him. If the prince is so powerful that he can turn adversity into good times, then we can stay dormant without revealing our identity."

The scholar's eyes showed admiration: "The truth has been revealed by the master. The prince and the princess worked together, and not only were there no difficulties, but everything was settled smoothly, so we followed the master's instructions and did not reveal our identities."

Huo Changhe's heart was slightly shaken. Since the palace was convicted, he has seen too many people who are ungrateful and add insult to injury, but there are also many loyal people and people who value love and affection.

But as a prince, the sixth prince himself was not favored, but he secretly arranged these things for him. You know, these things may seem trivial, but they take a lot of effort and take great risks.

A small shop, a small information network, two or three people can be seen, but what is invisible is the efforts of more people behind it.

Not to mention how furious he would be once the emperor found out that his son was secretly working against him.

The Sixth Prince was already weak, and it was unclear whether he could withstand the Emperor's anger.

Huo Changhe remained silent as all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

Yan Ruyu was also extremely surprised and touched, but she was more rational than Huo Changhe.

Yan Ruyu asked: "The sixth prince gave you the token, so where did your cloth bag come from? Don't say you picked it up."

The abbot said: "It's the one with the pattern on it, don't pretend you can't remember it."

The scholar was stunned for a moment: "That one? That one is indeed mine, and it is indeed a long time ago."

Daru rolled up some of his sleeves, revealing his left forearm. There was a small cyan tattoo on the elbow.

There is only one hook, like a scorpion hook.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly and said nothing, waiting for Da Ru to explain himself.

"Me," Da Ru laughed to himself, "my father is Han and my mother is Miao. I grew up in the Miao border. I was not sensible when I was a child. I just felt that my parents talked little, especially my father, who hardly talked."

"Every Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year, he would look at a certain place. I asked him what he was looking at, but he didn't say anything."

"As I got older, I realized that he was homesick."

"He was taken by my mother and forced to stay in the Miao territory by using the love charm, not voluntarily."

"Then he decided to escape."
