Yuwenlin and his party entered Xinghewan before the city gates closed at dark and hastily found an inn to stay in.
"Boss, have you seen this person?" Jian Yun asked, holding the bounty order taken down from the bulletin board at the city gate.
"What? Are you bounty hunters from Yanyu Town?" The shopkeeper looked up while keeping the accounts, "Then you are late!"
"Has he been here?" Yu Wenlin jumped up, put his hands on the counter, and was about to fall in!
"I've never seen this person!" The shopkeeper raised his head again, dipped the tip of the brush in his mouth and twirled the tip of the brush. "I've never seen a living person like this, but many people are looking for him!"
"Are they all bounty hunters?" Xuanyue also moved forward and asked.
"We won't ask about your identity," the shopkeeper put down his brush, put his hands into his sleeves, leaned against the counter, and looked like he was ready to have a good chat. "But I recognize someone. He's a famous bounty hunter in Yanyu Town!"
"Have bounty hunters from Yanyu Town been here?" He frowned at the first sight.
"Yes! She came for a day, but left without finding it!" The shopkeeper wrinkled his nose. "If I had the ability to get the 100,000 taels of silver, I would go find it too!"
Feeling that they could not get any more useful information from the shopkeeper, everyone went to a table at the side of the lobby to wait for their meal.
"From what I heard, the young master definitely didn't go to Yanyu Town," Li said firmly, "otherwise, the bounty hunter wouldn't have come out to look for him!"
He nodded, "But according to the map of mountains and rivers, there are four roads heading south, and we have already taken two. The one in Yanyu Town doesn't look like it's the last one, so could it be?"
"Let's go straight to the fourth road tomorrow. Where does it lead to?" Yu Wenlin also leaned over to take a look at the map of mountains and rivers.
At a glance, he would point to a small town on the mountain and river map and say, "That's it, Yuhu Town!"
Shan Zimo hesitated for a moment, and heard the shouts of the pursuers behind him. Shan Zimo grabbed Shan Boyu's arm and said, "Girl, stand back!"
Hearing Shan Zimo's words, the girl on the second floor immediately flashed in. Shan Zimo's internal force was activated, and he flew into the air! He pulled Shan Boyu and jumped into the window on the second floor!
Shan Zimo quickly turned around and closed the window. Shan Boyu protected Shan Zimo behind him and gestured in a fake manner.
"Who are you?" Shan Zimo looked at the girl in front of him warily, and pulled Shan Boyu behind him, "Do you know who I am?"
"I know!" The girl sat down slowly in front of the Bailingtai and poured tea for the two of them. "I knew it from the moment you entered Yanyu Town!" After saying that, a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Who do you work for?" Shan Zimo still stood vigilantly by the window. On the one hand, he could hear the pursuit outside, and on the other hand, he was always ready to escape.
"Miss Yunfang! My name is Mu Zhizhi," the girl stood up and saluted, "I have been waiting for the young master here for a long time!"
"Where is this?" Shan Zimo discovered that this was not a singing house. He carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that the fragrance here was strong, as if it had fallen into rouge and powder.
"This is Huarong Pavilion, a place dedicated to buying rouge and powder." Mu Zhizhi pushed the filled teacup to the side of the two of them and made a gesture of invitation.
Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu finally let down their guard and sat down in front of the Bailing Terrace. "I've been here for so many days and I'm almost begging for food. Don't you plan to give me a meal?"
"That won't do!" Mu Zhizhi smiled and covered her face. "Sister Yunfang said that Yun Fei is dead, and you didn't complete your mission very well. It's better to let you suffer a little, so as to temper your temper!"
"Where did the mission fail?" Shan Zimo took a sip of tea. "Didn't Yun Fei find out? He is the third disciple of the Yunyin Sword Sect, and he specializes in doing dirty things for Yun Zhenyu. It's a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Mu Zhizhi still looked at Shan Zimo and smiled softly, full of charm.
"Forget it, Yun Zhenyu is dead anyway, so there is no need for him!" Shan Zimo felt a little regretful and remembered some things, which made a trace of sadness appear on his face.
"What a pity for the roster, isn't it?" Mu Zhizhi said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, young master. The roster is already in Miss Yunfang's hands!"
"How is it possible?" Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu said in unison, "Everyone who knew about it is dead, and Yujiawan has been burned to ruins. How did they find it?"
Mu Zhizhi smiled mysteriously, "It's not time for the young master to know yet. You will know it naturally in the future! Why not solve the trouble in front of you first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhizhi stood up, held her breath, and made a hushing gesture at her red lips.
At this time, there was a lot of noisy voices coming from downstairs.
"Don't make any noise, you two. I'll go down and take a look!" Mu Zhizhi slipped out through the slightly opened door, closed the door, and then there was the sound of brisk footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Young Master, is this credible?" Shan Boyu stood in front of the window and looked out through the gap.
"There is no other choice," Shan Zimo leaned back in his chair, "With our current strength, we are outnumbered and unsure of our military strength. We can only grow in a sneaky way."
"What a poor development?" Shan Boyu looked at him in confusion.
"Even if I can't beat him, can't I just hide?" Shan Zimo rolled his eyes speechlessly, and suddenly became serious, "Ms. Yunfang has actually got the roster, she really has some tricks up her sleeve!"
After an incense stick of time, the door of the room was opened, and Mu Zhizhi came back with a food box. Seeing the food in the food box neatly placed on the Bailing table, Shan Zimo and the others drooled!
"Too cruel!" Shan Zimo looked at the table full of delicacies and shook his head, saying, "Let us live by the wall. Smell it, we both stink!"
When Shan Zimo approached, Mu Zhizhi covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and pushed him away. "If Dao Sheng hadn't come back with the real bounty order, all the bounty hunters and constables in Yanyu Town would have come to catch you. I wouldn't have planned to drag you up! Maybe you would have wandered all the way to southern Xinjiang!"
Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu were really hungry, and they didn't care about their image and started to eat voraciously!
The two of them leaned back in their chairs, stroking their slightly bulging bellies, "Is everything downstairs settled?" Only then did Shan Zimo ask about what had just happened with satisfaction.
"It's no big deal," Mu Zhizhi said lightly, "Yanyu Town has been blocked now, people can only enter but not leave. We will also search every house, and we must make the 100,000 taels from you!" Mu Zhizhi smiled lightly and glanced at the leftovers on the table.
"No," Shan Zimo said seriously, "I've been delayed here for some time. If I can't find them, I'm afraid they will be very worried!"
"If I were to tell you," Mu Zhizhi's eyes were full of tenderness as she played with her handkerchief, "you'd better not look for them before the bounty is withdrawn!"
"Can this bounty be withdrawn?" Shan Zimo asked in surprise. Then he thought, "This bounty is strange. It's been so long since the Yunlan City incident, and now you're looking for me to settle the score?"
"It is indeed a little strange that this bounty order appears at this time," Mu Zhizhi said calmly, with a scent coming from her body, "but it is also plausible."
