Li Mumu, along with two female soldiers lent to her by Li Zhiyin, Su Mei and Su Lan, and Li Mingyu, set out from the capital together.

　　Li Mumu couldn't ride a horse, so she took a carriage with Su Mei and Su Lan, while Li Mingyu drove outside.

　　The four of them left the capital and their journey was relatively smooth and safe.

　　I didn't encounter any thieves or robbers.

　　As a result, when we were almost reaching Chong'an, it was already dark.

　　You have to pass through two more towns before you can enter Chong'an City.

　　Traveling overnight was bound to be dangerous, so Li Mingyu suggested that they rest for a night in the town ahead.

　　"We will reach the town ahead in half an hour." Li Mingyu said to Li Mumu in the carriage while driving.

　　"Okay." Li Mumu nodded.

　　She was anxious to find Gu Shangqing, but she didn't want to cause trouble.

　　After entering the town, I found an inn that was neither big nor small.

　　It's not the most luxurious in town, but it's not shabby either. It's quite standard and low-key.

　　After getting off the carriage, Su Mei whispered something in Li Mumu's ear.

　　The four of them entered the inn.

"Boss, I need three rooms." Li Mumu said.

　　The shopkeeper took out three keys and handed them to the three men.

　　The rooms for three people are next to each other.

　　Su Mei and Su Lan share a room, next to Li Mumu's room.

　　Li Mingyu's room is opposite Li Mumu's.

　　Originally, Su Mei and Su Lan wanted to share a room with Li Mumu.

　　But for some reason Li Mumu asked for three rooms.

　　The room was on the second floor. After going upstairs, Su Lan whispered to Li Mumu, "Madam Gu, why don't you and I stay in the same room? It's safer this way."

　　Li Mumu shook her head and whispered, "It is safer, but it also makes people more afraid to act."

　　It turned out that just now on the road, Li Mingyu and Su Meisu Lan both noticed that someone was following them.

　　Therefore, Li Mingyu felt that it would be dangerous if he continued on his journey.

　　But if they had said it while they were driving, the people following them would have heard it and alerted them.

　　That's why Li Mingyu didn't say anything, but just said that it was dangerous to walk at night.

　　Li Mingyu was the first to discover it, and after a while, Su Mei and Su Lan also discovered it.

　　The two of them exchanged glances and waited quietly to see when the other would make a move.

　　But until

　　After entering the town, we didn't see any action from the other side.

　　This is what Su Mei whispered in Li Mumu's ear when they just got off the carriage.

　　She thought that if Li Mumu knew there was danger, she would definitely stay in the same room with the two sisters.

　　Who knew that Li Mumu actually wanted a room of her own.

　　Su Mei and Su Lan naturally would not think that Li Mumu was going to live with one of them in the extra room.

　　Now after listening to Li Mumu's words, Su Meisu Lan realized that Li Mumu wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.

　　So Su Mei and Su Lan nodded, and Su Mei said, "Then we won't sleep tonight and take turns on duty."

　　Li Mingyu nodded, "I'll pay attention."

　　In fact, Li Mumu didn't quite understand why the other party didn't take action in the suburbs, but waited until they entered the town. Wouldn't that be more difficult to take action?

　　However, Li Mumu immediately thought that perhaps the other party wanted to knock her out directly in the room?

　　This way, there is no need to alarm Li Mingyu and Su Meisu Lan, and there is no need to take action.

　　Many of the plots in the ancient costume martial arts dramas she watched when she was young were like this.

　　Although he didn't know whether it would work in Daxi, Li Mumu decided to be careful.

　　Therefore, after entering the room, Li Mumu first opened the window a little, and then opened the door a crack.

　　This will not only allow Li Mingyu and Su Meisulan to hear her voice more clearly, but also serve as a ventilation function.

　　Unexpectedly, Li Mingyu and Su Meisu Lan thought the same as she did.

　　Li Mingyu also opened the door a little, and when he opened the door, he happened to meet Li Mumu.

　　Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Li Mumu had also thought of this.

　　Li Mumu couldn't help laughing and nodded to Li Mingyu again.

　　Li Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Gu was a smart person, and this trip would be much easier for him.

　　Just at this moment, there was a noise from the door of Su Meisu Lan's room next door.

　　Li Mumu and Li Mingyu turned their heads at the same time and saw that Su Meisu Lan's door was also slightly open.

　　The four of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

　　Seeing that they were all so alert, Li Mumu felt relieved.

　　She packed up her things, knowing that someone was following her and there was a high probability that they were going to do something bad to her, so Li Mumu naturally didn't dare to fall asleep.

　　Li Mumu first asked the innkeeper for a basin of water, using the excuse of washing up.

　　After returning to the house, I looked for

　　Put a piece of cloth in a basin and soak it with water.

　　She didn't even wring it out because she didn't know when the man would come.

　　In order to avoid people coming a long time later, or even late at night, and letting the wet cloth dry, Li Mumu did not wring it out. She kept the cloth wet and dripping, and put it aside.

　　Then he turned off the lights, lay down on the bed with his clothes on, and pretended to sleep.

　　But she kept her eyes open and kept her nerves tense, not missing the slightest sound.

　　Li Mumu didn't know how long she had been waiting, and her mind was highly concentrated the whole time.

　　I was obviously very tired from traveling continuously, but I still couldn't fall asleep. This feeling was very painful.

　　Finally, she heard a very faint sound coming from the window.

　　It was like the sound of window paper being gently pierced.

　　If the town was not close to the border and not prosperous, the people would all rest at home until dark and very few would go out for entertainment.

　　And there really isn't much place for entertainment in the town.

　　Li Mumu also deliberately chose an inn that was not on the main road of the town, so the surroundings were even quieter.

　　In addition, she was highly focused and did not miss any sound, so she noticed this extremely low sound.

　　Otherwise, the sound of piercing the window paper is too light, and it would be difficult to hear it unless you are highly concentrated.

　　Li Mumu hurriedly took the wet cloth that was hanging next to her.

　　The cloth is still wet now, although not as much as when it was first soaked in water, but if you wring it hard, you can still wring out some water.

　　Li Mumu covered her mouth and nose with a wet cloth to prevent the other party from inhaling smoke into her mouth and nose if he really blew it in.

　　Because she covered her mouth and nose with a wet cloth, Li Mumu didn't smell any strange odor.

　　But after a while, I heard someone climbing in through the window.

　　Li Mumu would not risk her own safety, and immediately shouted: "Mingyu! Sumei Sulan!"

　　Even if the other party retreated after hearing her voice, Li Mingyu and Su Meisu Lan would not be able to catch up with him.

　　Li Mingyu and Su Meisu Lan also reacted quickly, and the three of them were obviously paying close attention to the voice from her side.

　　As soon as the sound of the other party climbing through the window was heard, three people rushed in.

　　When Li Mumu spoke, Li Mingyu had already rushed in.

　　Su Meisu Lan was waiting under the window to prevent the other party from escaping.

　　The other person was dressed in black and covered his face with a black scarf.
