Chapter 293 - 293 Town
293 Town
Ning Yue brought Yun Duo and Baili to another city. When she arrived in this city, Ning Yue was shocked.
The people here were dressed in sari and veils and spoke pure English.
In Ning Yue’s memory, there didn’t seem to be such a country in ancient times. Where was this?
Ning Yue was about to take the opportunity to play for a while when Baili realized that the people following them had already arrived.
Her heart sank as she took Yun Duo and Baili to the inn.
“Seriously, you ruined my good mood. I still wanted to go out and play!” Ning Yue said.
After staying in the inn for two hours, Ning Yue thought for a long time and said to the Yun Duo, “Hiding isn’t a solution. Why don’t we take the initiative to attack?”
“But we don’t know where they’re hiding,” Yun Duo said in distress.
Ning Yue did not say anything else and asked Yun Duo to buy a few sets of local clothes to wear.
Baili and the other secret guards were also wearing local clothes. Otherwise, they would be too obvious.
Ning Yue swaggered onto the street. Women were vain. The first thing she did when she went out was go to the best rouge shop.
She was focused on choosing the goods. Meng Lang’s people had also discovered Ning Yue, but she was wearing a veil, so Meng Lang’s people were not sure.
After some thought, the group of people went forward and asked, “Miss, I don’t think we’ve seen you before.”
Ning Yue glanced at Meng Lang. “I’ve never seen you either.”
The man was speechless. “I mean, if you’re from out of town, I can introduce you to the best rouge in our shop.”
Ning Yue waved her hand. “No need. I’m not a foreigner.”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, that person couldn’t say anything else. He just stared at Ning Yue for a long time.
Ning Yue quickly browsed through the things in the shop. Occasionally, she would see some beautifully wrapped rouge and open it to smell it.
When that person realized that Ning Yue really wanted to buy something, he was a little relieved.
At night, Ning Yue and Yun Duo were still chatting and laughing on the way back to the inn. Unexpectedly, Yun Duo’s expression suddenly changed.
“Miss, someone is following us,” Yun Duo said.
Ning Yue did not say anything. She pulled Yun Duo and deliberately slowed down.
Yun Duo asked, “Miss, do you want me to deal with them?”
As she spoke, she took the dagger out of her bag.
“No need.” Ning Yue held Yun Duo’s hand and pretended to be chatting. “They’re not sure that we’re the person they’re looking for, so we’re still safe for now. Besides, there are many people on the road, so it’s not convenient for you to attack here. Let’s go back to the inn. If we want to attack, we’ll talk after we leave this city.”
The two of them discussed for a while. When the men in black were not paying attention, they walked into a small alley.
When the group realized that she was gone, they quickly chased after her.
Ning Yue and Yun Duo turned around and returned to the inn.
“Yun Duo, you’re quite familiar with this place. You brought me back to the inn not long after,” Ning Yue said to Yun Duo appreciatively.
“The Heir nurtured me according to the standards of an intelligence assassin. Information is my forte. Before coming to this city, I took the lead in obtaining information,” Yun Duo said.
So that was it. Ning Yue nodded. “Let’s travel through the night. If this group investigates the inn, we’ll be found quickly.”
Yun Duo nodded. She thought so too. She was about to persuade Ning Yue when Ning Yue suggested it herself.
When Meng Lang’s men realized that they had lost her, they immediately went to investigate the inn. It wasn’t easy for them to find out that some strangers had been to an inn.
In the end, when they searched, she ran away!
Meng Lang was furious. He grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, “Where are they?”
The shopkeeper trembled in fear. “Please spare me, hero. Please spare me!”
Meng Lang was speechless. The shopkeeper seemed to have gone crazy. Unable to get anything out of him, he kicked him hard.
“If you don’t tell me where those two women are, I’ll kill you!” With that, Meng Lang picked up a knife and held it to the shopkeeper’s neck.
“They’re out of the city!” the shopkeeper said.
“In that direction?” Meng Lang asked.
The shopkeeper pointed in the opposite direction of Ning Yue’s route. “I only saw them leave here in a carriage.”
Hearing this, Meng Lang threw the shopkeeper aside and left with his subordinates.
Yun Duo and Ning Yue set off for the next city and arrived at a small town.
