Chapter 197 Can we now enter the city openly and legitimately?
Yin Rou was still thinking about Xia Mo's affairs, but after a while, she lost interest in thinking about them.
Then I saw...
Xia Mo looked at Yin Rou and asked sincerely, "With your personality, Sister Yin, are you really willing to live a life of ignominy? Don't you want to retaliate? Also, are you really unwilling to take care of the mentally challenged Young Master Cao?"
When Xia Mo announced the name of Young Master Cao, Yin Rou stared in shock and disbelief, feeling a sense of suffocation, as if something had exploded in her mind, and she felt dizzy.
How did Xia Mo know about her background?!
After suppressing her shock and astonishment, Yin Rou gritted her teeth, looked at Xia Mo, and then at the tall, handsome, and undeniable Huangfu Qian beside her.
With a flick of his finger, Xia Mo created a divine shield to conceal the secrets of heaven, enveloping the three people within it.
Actually, she didn't need to lift a finger, but if she did, no one would notice that she had made any subtle moves.
"Sister Yin, do you know why Young Master Cao is mentally challenged?" Xia Mo asked.
It's clear that Yin Rou cares a lot about Young Master Cao.
Yin Rou gritted her teeth, suppressing her surging emotions, and remained silent. However, the veins on her forehead and her tightly clenched hands had already betrayed her turbulent state of mind.
“As long as Young Master Cao agrees to suppress you like that person, crush you into the dust, and make you wish you were dead, he won’t be stupid. Moreover, he can lead Cao Yun to the top,” Xia Mo continued.
Huangfu Qian glanced around. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that Xia Mo had shielded the heavenly secrets of this place.
Yin Rou stared intently at Xia Mo. It seemed that Xia Mo wasn't as innocent and harmless as she appeared! She had misjudged her once again!
Xia Mo sighed and asked sincerely again, "Looking at Young Master Cao's choice, are you really planning to abandon him?"
When helping Lin Fengzhi regain his luck, a lot of time was wasted because of Lin Fengzhi's lack of competitiveness.
Therefore, what she needs to do now is to arouse Yin Rou's desire to fight, even if it's just hatred for those who harmed her.
"I……"
When Yin Rou opened her mouth, it was immediately apparent that her voice was terribly hoarse, and her suppressed emotions were betrayed along with it.
“Sister Yin,” Xia Mo took out a wooden plaque carved with intricate patterns and handed it over.
Yin Rou gritted her teeth, not wanting to reveal her emotions, and refused to speak again, but still reached out and took the wooden sign that Xia Mo handed over.
The wooden sign had the word "water" on it, and judging from the design, it didn't look like a simple object.
"I've joined forces with King Jiang, who rose through the ranks based on his military achievements. This is a token given to me by King Jiang, which allows me to command hundreds of skilled men to work for me, no matter where I am," Xia Mo chuckled, glancing secretly at Huangfu Qian.
After the initial shock, Yin Rou's hand holding the token trembled slightly.
"If Sister Yin wants to get revenge, I can help you. I'll disguise myself as a maid and follow you around. Together, we'll give all those vile women to this person," Xia Mo said, making a beheading gesture while still wearing a lively and playful smile, as if she were talking about something to play, not murder.
Yin Rou suddenly shivered; this was truly the end of summer!
"Don't be afraid, Sister Yin. I couldn't stand by and watch, so I'm helping you," Xia Mo blinked her clear, bright eyes and looked at Yin Rou.
Yin Rou lowered her head again, looked at the wooden token in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go back to Lingzhou Prefecture first. I need to see it with my own eyes before I can make a judgment."
As Yin Rou finished speaking, a look of resignation to her fate appeared on her face.
She didn't believe what others said; she wanted to see for herself.
Xia Mo smiled happily at Huangfu Qian.
As long as Yin Rou is willing to cooperate, it will be quick to reclaim the luck that was stolen.
whee.
Once she regains Yin Rou's luck, she will go home, reunite with her family, and stay for a while.
“Let’s go then, Sister Yin. I’ll have to trouble you to get some sleep,” Xia Mo said.
Yin Rou immediately looked at Xia Mo warily.
"Don't worry, I just need to use some covert methods to get to Lingzhou Prefecture quickly. And this channel... is related to Prince Jiang, so it can't be known by anyone other than Prince Jiang's confidants. That's why I had to let you sleep for a while," Xia Mo said with a smile.
Her actions were somewhat of a test, a test of Yin Rou's trust in her, and also a test of whether Yin Rou would make a decision because of the hatred in her heart.
After staring at Xia Mo for a while, Yin Rou nodded: "Okay!"
I was even happier at the end of summer.
Xia Mo smiled brightly, like the sun. Yin Rou's heart sank for no reason. She was worried that Xia Mo was lying to her. But the next moment, before she could say anything, everything went black and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Let's go," Xia Mo said, putting her arm around Yin Rou and leading her to a less crowded area.
“The distance to Lingzhou Prefecture is different from the distance to Anping County,” Huangfu Qian reminded him.
"Thanks to you, I used over a thousand catties of jade. Now, my abilities have become a little stronger," Xia Mo said, playfully winking at Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian nodded.
* * *
Less than two hours later—
The three of them were already standing in the deserted suburbs outside Lingzhou City.
Xia Mo reached out and woke Yin Rou up.
Yin Rou suddenly opened her eyes, looked around hesitantly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were only the three of them around.
Xia Mo said, "Sister Yin, we have arrived at Lingzhou Prefecture."
"I was unconscious for three days and three nights?" Yin Rou asked in surprise, considering the distance between the two places.
But she clearly felt that she had only been unconscious for a short while.
"No, you were only unconscious for about two hours," Xia Mo replied in a clear and crisp voice.
"Thump thump thump..."
Yin Rou reached out and covered her wildly beating heart, but she was still shocked, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape as she looked at Xia Mo.
"Are you curious? But I can't tell you," Xia Mo said with a grin.
Yin Rou looked around and confirmed once again that it was indeed Lingzhou Prefecture City!
"You... before, you... took me away from Lingzhou Prefecture like this, right?" Yin Rou asked, still unable to believe it.
“Hmm,” Xia Mo said, looking at Huangfu Qian.
Xia Mo took out a bunch of disguised small jars and began to disguise them.
Soon, Xia Mo transformed into an ordinary-looking maid.
"Do you want to... come with me?" Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian and chuckled mischievously.
If Huangfu Qian were to stay with them and beside Yin Rou, then Huangfu Qian would have to disguise herself as a maid.
Huangfu Qian also disguised himself as an ordinary-looking person. He lowered his voice and said, "I am now the steward hired by Miss Yin, in charge of external affairs."
Looking at the two people in disguise, Yin Rou's heart trembled slightly, and she asked, "Am I... going back to Lingzhou Prefecture like this?"
If she enters the city looking like this, she'll definitely be discovered and arrested.
“Yes,” Xia Mo nodded, then looked at Huangfu Qian, who was disguised as a manager, with a grin.
"Manager Huang?" Xia Mo, disguised as a maid, blinked at Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian sent out a signal.
About half an hour later, a large group of people carrying carriages and luggage appeared in front of Huangfu Qian and his group.
"Manager Huang, Miss Yin," the steward leading the carriage bowed to Huangfu Qian.
Yin Rou stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
“This is our current team,” Xia Mo explained simply.
Yin Rou's heart began to pound uncontrollably once again.
"Now, can we enter the city openly and legitimately?" Xia Mo pressed.
Excited, Yin Rou nodded vigorously, her heart inexplicably surging with passion.
