Although Tao Qiming was weak, he still managed to smile and said, "It's okay, Miss Su, we must find the master quickly."

He understood Ye Yunzi's anxiety and knew that only by finding his master as soon as possible could he resolve his current predicament.

Ye Yunzi looked at the vaguely visible city gate in the distance and said, "Let's go into the city first."

"According to the map, that should be Yuncheng, not far from Yangzhou. Resting for a day won't delay too much."

Ye Yunzi winked at Leng Xue, who nodded in agreement and turned his horse around to head towards Yuncheng.

The three of them successfully entered Yuncheng. Although the town was small, it was very popular and prosperous. They settled in a tavern and planned to replenish their energy.

"Waiter, bring up your best dishes and wine!" Tao Qiming ordered loudly.

Ye Yunzi brought enough silver with her before she set out, so she didn't have to be too frugal.

The three of them sat around the same table. Although Leng Xue was not used to this kind of occasion, she still sat down with Ye Yunzi's encouragement.

In order not to arouse suspicion, they dressed up as rich young men and their followers, with no distinction between master and servant.

Soon, the table was filled with steaming food and mellow wine.

Tao Qiming's eyes lit up, and he picked up his chopsticks impatiently and said, "Everyone, eat quickly, eat quickly..."

After saying that, he began to eat with big mouthfuls.

He had only been able to eat dry food these past few days and was almost starving. Now that he could finally have a good meal, how could he not eat a lot?

Ye Yunzi was also hungry, but she was used to chewing slowly. She picked up the chopsticks gently and slowly tasted each dish. After each bite, she would elegantly drink a sip of the soup.

She is as beautiful as a fairy and her skin is as white as snow. Just watching her eat is a pleasure.

Several onlookers were attracted by her beauty and locked their eyes on her, not hiding their greed.

Tao Qiming was busy enjoying his food and didn't notice anything unusual around him.

A sturdy man at the next table was more and more attracted to Ye Yunzi the more he looked at her. In his opinion, although Yuncheng was small, he had never seen a woman with such an outstanding temperament.

He stared at her for a long time, and finally stood up and walked towards Ye Yunzi. Leng Xue noticed the strange gaze and raised her head coldly.

The sturdy man came closer and said with a smile: "Little brother, is this your first time in Yuncheng?"

Tao Qiming put down his chopsticks and looked at the other person in confusion. They had never met before, so why did this person use such an intimate tone?

The sturdy man laughed and acted generously. He sat directly opposite them and took the initiative to pour wine for Tao Qiming.

"I think you guys are from outside the city, so I'm asking you something. Don't think I'm being nosy."

Tao Qiming frowned, thinking that this person was too noisy.

He glanced at the wine glass and felt unhappy. He didn't like others touching his things, especially the food or drinks he was eating, for fear that something might happen.

"What is your purpose?" Tao Qiming asked directly.

"No, no, I just want to introduce you to some good places in Yuncheng. This is your first time here!" The sturdy man said as he looked at Ye Yunzi out of the corner of his eye. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was a beauty.

Thinking of that pair of jade-like hands, his heart was stirred and he wanted to touch those hands to see if they were really that soft!

He deliberately said to Ye Yunzi: "Why don't you even pour wine for your young lady? Come, come..." As he said that, he reached out to take the wine jug and tried to touch Ye Yunzi's hand at the same time.

Ye Yunzi had already noticed the strong man's intention. She lowered her eyes slightly, but her other hand quietly grasped the poison hidden in her sleeve.

If the strong man dared to take action, she wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Just when the sturdy man's hand was about to touch Ye Yunzi, Leng Xue on the opposite side got a stern look in her eyes, quickly picked up the chopsticks and threw them hard.

The chopsticks were inserted into the table accurately, just a millimeter away from the strong man's hand, as if iron was piercing into wood.

The strong man was so frightened that his hands and legs were shaking. If the chopsticks had been a little off, his hands would have been broken.

Leng Xue didn't even raise her eyelids and said coldly: "Go away."

The strong man was so scared that he was shaking all over and fled the scene in a panic, fearing that he would lose his life if he was a step late.

The tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes quietly withdrew, not daring to look at them anymore. Originally, I thought these young people were just rich kids out for fun, but I didn't expect that the maid accompanying them was so skilled.

Ye Yunzi quietly put away the poison in her sleeve. It seemed that Leng Xue could handle these troubles alone.

Tao Qiming widened his eyes, looked at the wooden chopsticks stuck on the table in surprise, and exclaimed: "How amazing!"

Although he already knew that Leng Xue was a martial arts expert, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Leng Xue snorted and easily pulled the chopsticks out of the table without any damage. If it weren't for the small hole left on the table, everyone would have thought that the scene just now was a dream.

The three of them continued to eat quietly, and the diners around them also focused on their food, not daring to cast even a glance at them.

The frightened strong man fled from the tavern in a hurry, feeling terrified in his heart, fearing that someone might die here.

In a corner of the tavern, a few men were eating and chatting, occasionally glancing at where Ye Yunzi and others were, with an imperceptible chill in their eyes.

After the meal, Leng Xue threw down a silver ingot, enough to compensate for the damaged table.

The three of them stood up and prepared to leave. Just after they took a few steps, those who were hiding in the dark also stood up.

Just as they were about to step out of the tavern, Ye Yunzi caught sight of those people out of the corner of her eye, frowned, gently pulled Leng Xue's sleeve, and shook her head.

As soon as Leng Xue saw her expression, she knew that something was wrong and she might be in trouble.

Tao Qiming was still in the dark, stroking the horse happily, and turned around and called out, "Su'er, Leng'er, come quickly!"

This is a special name between them. In order to conceal their identities, everyone used pseudonyms.

Leng Xue nodded to Ye Yunzi, indicating that she understood the situation. The two walked towards Tao Qiming calmly, and Leng Xue planned to drive the car herself.

"Let me do it this time, Leng'er, you go in and have a rest." Tao Qiming took the initiative to suggest. After all, Leng Xue had been driving the car all the way, and he felt that she should be allowed to rest.

Ye Yunzi held Tao Qiming and said softly, "Get in the car first."

Tao Qiming was full of questions and didn't understand why Ye Yunzi was so nervous.

When the two got into the carriage, Ye Yunzi's face turned serious and she whispered, "Someone is following us."

"What?" Tao Qiming was shocked.

"How could this happen? We have changed our appearance, how could we still be recognized?"

He subconsciously touched his face to make sure there was no problem with the disguise.

Ye Yunzi frowned and said, "Maybe they have a special way to identify it, or maybe Leng Xue's actions just now were too conspicuous."

A maid with special skills is indeed likely to arouse suspicion from others.

Tao Qiming's face tightened and he asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"
