At this mont, Shang Ruyi’s pupils suddenly turned black, like a clear and bright lake suddenly becoming a bottomless abyss, no longer clear, leaving only depth and darkness.
But even so, one could feel her gaze was intense, fervently staring downward.
Especially at the person blocking Song Shiyuan.
That person, although dressed in clothes that revealed nothing of their identity or origin, had a petite figure exuding a sense of delicacy and grace, clearly a woman, and her face was covered with a veil.
The kind of palm-sized cotton fabric, tied behind the ears with two cotton strings, a very convenient veil.
Being suddenly blocked, Song Shiyuan was sowhat surprised and was about to bow his head to ask when he saw the woman raise her hand and present a bundle to him with both hands.
Song Shiyuan’s body stiffened, his eyes widening abruptly.
In the next mont, he imdiately dismounted and, as soon as he reached out, the woman, as if on guard, imdiately stepped back, retreating to a place where Song Shiyuan could not reach her, then once again raised her hands to offer the bundle to him.
This move clearly had an obvious intention.
Just deliver the item, don’t ask about its origin.
And the things inside that bundle—
Shang Ruyi held her breath, staring at that bundle fixedly, although it was about the size of a pillow, it was very light, the woman’s slender arms maneuvered it effortlessly, and she said a few words to Song Shiyuan, who frowned, looked at her, and then at the bundle.
Finally, he reached out and accepted it.
But when he took the bundle, he was clearly a bit hesitant, his gaze flickering slightly as he looked up towards the second floor of the inn where Shang Ruyi was.
And that woman, seed also very perceptive, as she saw him look up, she also turned her head to look over.
eting the scrutinizing gaze of Shang Ruyi behind the window.
Imdiately, she was like a startled deer, turned and ran, Song Shiyuan instinctively moved to grab her, but the bundle in his hands hindered him, and a few Imperial Guard soldiers nearby seed to sense sothing was happening, walked over and blocked him just right.
The woman had already run several ters away.
"Miss!"
Seeing this situation, Tushere’s eyes widened imdiately, clenching his fist as if he wished to jump out of the window, and Shang Ruyi’s eyes narrowed slightly, quickly saying, "Go!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure shot out of the private room like an arrow.
It was Wo Xue.
Her speed was extrely fast, Tushere heard the sound of her descending the stairs in the blink of an eye, hurriedly shouted a low "wait for ", and also leapt out.
Seeing them both leave, Shang Ruyi paused for a mont, looked out through the window again.
Then, she also left the private room.
Just as all three of them left the inn, and the sudden clamor gradually subsided, a low, amused voice ca from the neighboring private room, where there was a constant calling for wine and dishes: "Waiter, the bill, please."
But this voice did not stop Wo Xue’s swift footsteps; in an instant, she had rushed out of the inn, watching as that slender figure was about to blend into the bustling crowd at the city gate, she dashed forward and grabbed the woman’s arm!
"Halt!"
"Ah!"
The woman, caught off guard, let out a startled low cry, turned her head, revealing eyes filled with terror and confusion, instinctively trying to struggle free of Wo Xue’s grip, but Wo Xue held her and wouldn’t let go, gripping her wrist with force, regardless of the woman’s struggles, too evasive to escape.
Quickly following Wo Xue out of the inn, Tushere also dashed forward, grabbing the woman’s other hand, saying, "Thinking you could run?"
The woman, unable to escape their grasp, could only keep shouting, "What do you want?"
"What do we want? You tell us what we want!"
As he spoke, Tushere reached out, grabbing the veil covering the woman’s face, pulling forcefully, breaking the two cotton strings with a snap, revealing a face that was both unfamiliar and mundane.
It was a young girl in her twenties, with rough skin and an expression of fear.
Seeing this unfamiliar face, Wo Xue and Tushere were a bit puzzled, but they understood in their hearts that today they ca here to ’lie in wait’, for soone who had presumably never appeared before, whom they could not possibly have seen, so an unfamiliar face was not surprising.
