Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

The cause of the water leakage at the inn was quickly discovered and a notice was issued.

The above shows that the fire was caused by sparks that were stifled in the stove in the inn kitchen at night. They jumped onto the firewood and ignited at the first touch.

But An Jinshu sneered at this obviously deceptive notice. She recalled afterwards that she smelled the smell of rapeseed oil when she went out. The fire was not that simple. Maybe it was deliberately set.

And then Xi Ji's words confirmed the idea.

Xi Ji said that the two people traveling with her were not her friends at all, and that they wanted to harm her.

Although it was just a simple sentence, An Jinshu's living environment since she was a child had already made her imagine countless possibilities.

Afterwards, when Xi Ji went to identify the charred corpses, the bodies of those two people were not among those burned to death. Since they were not burned to death, why were they missing?

Perhaps he was afraid of being caught after setting the fire, so he escaped early.

Although he didn't know who Xi Ji was, An Jinshu felt strangely sympathetic to her, and his attitude towards her softened slightly.

The threesome turned into a foursome, and all of them were women. The target became more conspicuous, and An Jinshu had to find an escort for personal safety protection.

At least we have to get them to their destination safely.

Fortunately, they had plenty of money, and there were two or three escort agencies in the town. An Jinshu chose the coldest one because it was the cheapest, but the boss and the waiters inside were the strongest among them.

The most important thing is that other people's escort agencies send their men to leave, while the shopkeeper stays behind and continues to receive customers.

However, the owner of this escort agency said that they only take orders once every six months. For the safety and property of customers, the owner does not trust his subordinates to act alone, so he will personally take charge.

Although he earned less, he had a good reputation, and An Jinshu quickly finalized the deal after talking to him.

The group of eight people officially set off on the second day. The efficiency of the escort agency was very good. Considering that most of them were women, the manager specially prepared a carriage. An Jinshu was very satisfied with this, and he couldn't help but chat more with the manager of the escort agency on the way.

At the end of the conversation, we found out that his name was Li Bin, and his title changed from shopkeeper to Brother Li.

The owner of the escort agency also called her brother An instead of brother.

The group of people headed north like this. After walking for nearly ten days, they planned to stop in a town called Ju'an Town to replenish supplies.

When they first entered the town, they noticed something was wrong. The whole town was lifeless, and white silk ribbons were hung in front of every door.

Hanging white silk ribbons means that a family is mourning, but with white silk ribbons hanging from house to house, it can't be that every house in this town has died. It's really weird.

It was still daytime when An Jinshu and his party entered the town, but there was no one on the street. White silk was flying all over the street, and the smell of incense and candles lingered. As people walked along, they felt more and more chilled all over their bodies.

If it weren't for the white smoke coming out of the chimney, which indicated that there was someone at home, An Jinshu would have thought they had met a ghost in the clear day.

They stopped in front of a house and were about to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, the other person opened the door before they could knock.

It was an old woman. When she saw them, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then closed the door with a bang.

An Jinshu stepped forward and knocked on the door, explaining his purpose in a gentle tone: "Old man, we were just passing by. We came to town to replenish some supplies. Did something happen in your town? Is there anyone I can help with? ?”

After a moment of silence, the door opened again, and it was still the old man. She pointed into the distance and said: "You guys go to the inn on the street, you can stay there."

An Jinshu glanced at the street and wanted to ask something, but the old man closed the door again.

They didn't want to disturb her anymore, so they had no choice but to follow the direction she pointed to the inn.

As she said, the door of the inn opened as soon as she knocked, and there were many customers eating in the lobby.

Separated by a door, it was deserted outside, but it was so lively inside, which was strange.

They found a place to sit down, and An Jinshu waved to the waiter: "Here are some of your signature dishes. You are recommending two hard dishes."

The waiter smiled and said: "Sir, our fried spring goose and steamed mutton are both delicacies in the world. Do you want to try them?"

An Jinshu also smiled cheerfully and said: "Then let's do these two things, and hurry up, we have enough to eat and drink, and we have to go on the road."

"Got it!"

After a while, the waiter came up with tea. An Jinshu called him and asked casually: "Little brother, let me ask you what happened in this town? Why are there white silk hangings on the streets? Pedestrians walking around?”

Due to An Jinshu's cheerful attitude when ordering, the waiter was happy to return her favor. He threw the handkerchief on his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. Back then, our town's ancestors fled here, and they met a noble man who built it." This is the only way this town can settle down.”

"It's not a secret at all. The guest officer was visiting the south and the north. He didn't know that the word "Ju'an" in our town of Ju'an was taken from the noble man's name. Three days ago, there was a notice in the Yamen. His Majesty Bintian, for To show my gratitude and condolences, I hung white silk ribbons throughout the town, and it was forbidden to go to the market and shout about it. It lasted for three days, and it would be fine after three days."

An Jinshu was stunned. He said so much, but she only heard one sentence: Your Majesty Bintian.

Hong Li keenly noticed her confusion and immediately smiled at the waiter: "Sorry to trouble you."

The waiter didn't think much about it and retreated happily.

"Brother An, don't you know?" Li Bin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke up.

An Jinshu's eyes were filled with confusion: "What?"

"Hasn't Brother An heard about His Majesty's death? Wasn't the tea stall owner talking about this when we were drinking tea at the tea stall three days ago."

An Jinshu looked at Hong Li and then at Xi Ji and Ah Li. They didn't seem surprised, so she was the only one in the whole team who didn't know?

Ah Li reminded: "There was a vendor selling candy cakes that day. Brother, you went to buy candy cakes."

An Jinshu suddenly realized that she didn't know about it because she was greedy and went to buy candy cakes.

"But His Majesty's name is not Ju'an." An Jinshu said strangely.

Xi Ji raised her eyes and glanced at her, then lowered her head silently.

Customers at other tables nearby laughed out loud when they heard her question: "Who said that "Ju An" is the dead one? That's him!"

"Hahahaha." The people at the same table with him burst into laughter.

An Jinshu then realized that Emperor Yuan Chong was named Ju'an, and Ju'an did not refer to Emperor Yuan'an (the hero's father), but to the late Emperor (the hero's father's father).

Li Bin poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her, sighing: "Although I am rich and powerful, I cannot escape birth, old age, illness and death."

An Jinshu picked up the tea cup, her hands shaking slightly. Although she was at the end of her strength when she left the body of Emperor Chong of Shi Yuan Dynasty, she looked at him and felt that he could still hold on for two or three months.

Now that we heard the news of his death only nearly a month ago, it seems that he couldn't hold on after all.

I just don’t know if Gu Qingchen has woken up or if she has learned of her death?
