Despite her agitation, Yun Shang forced herself to calm down. She arranged the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, writing down all the matters needing attention, and wrote a letter for the butler to deliver to Ning Qian and Lady Hua Guo.
The mansion's secret guards were also very efficient. Within four hours, all the stores in the city had been plundered. But there were too many medicinal herbs, Yun Shang only put them in detoxifying and anti-toxic pills. She ordered the butler to prepare a carriage to send the rest of the herbs to the Ya clan. She and Qian Yin had decided to ride a horse and hurry to the Ya clan as fast as they could.
Yun Shang was also worried about the false news. Or if some enemies knew that they were going to the Ya clan, they will ambush them along the was. So she asked Ning Qian to mobilize all the power in the state of Xia to assist them secretly on the way.
When everything was ready, it was getting dark. Yun Shang left the city with Qian Yin, followed by forty secret guards. She galloped on her horse all day and night until she arrived at a small town. Qian Yin frowned and persuaded Yun Shang in a low voice who was about to set off again, "Your Highness, the Ya clan is still far away. If we don't have a good rest, we will be exhausted before reaching it. If someone wants to hurt us, I'm afraid we can't fight back."
Yun Shang kept silent for a long time. She knew that Qian Yin was right, so she nodded and found an inn to rest.
In order to move easily to the Ya clan, Yun Shang, who was wearing men's clothes, still caused a stir in this small town. Unwilling to show her face outside, Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to send all the things to the rooms.
Qian Yin went downstairs and soon went upstairs. With astonishment on her face, she said, "Your Highness, guess who I saw just now?"
"Who?" Yun Shang was reading the Ya clan's information carefully. Hearing Qian Yin's words, she didn't raise her head but just asked casually.
Qian Yin came to Yun Shang and said, "I just saw Liu Yinfeng here. Mister Liu's carriage passed. I recognized his attendant and his attendant also saw me. Mister Liu... Will we be okay? "
"Liu Yinfeng?" Yun Shang looked up and frowned, "what is he doing here?"
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Yun Shang beckoned Qian Yin to open the door. The secret guard hid behind the door and waited for the door to move. The door opened slowly. Yun Shang saw the man they were talking standing at the door and looking into the room with curiosity. As his eyes lit up, he stepped into the room.
Yun Shang beckoned her hidden guards to leave. She looked indifferently at the man who was walking towards her, and said nothing.
"What a nice coincidence, A Yun? Are we destined to meet here?" Liu Yinfeng smiled, with tenderness in his eyes.
Yun Shang tapped the table for three times with her right index finger and asked flatly, "why is Mister Liu here?" However, she was seriously considering the situation in her mind. What a coincidence! Isn't Liu Yinfeng in the Jin City? She had never heard that Xia Huanyu had sent him for any mission? Yun Shang kept silent for a while. Just now Qian Yin told her that the town seemed to be called Qi Lan Town. Yun Shang thought about the map of the state of Xia in her mind. Qi Lan town was kind of a town in the official roads, and there were many places he could go.
Liu Yinfeng smiled and said gently, "recently, the Liu clan is not peaceful. My adoptive father asked me to go back to our hometown to worship the ancestors. Where are you going?" Without waiting for Yun Shang's reply, Liu Yinfeng thought for a moment before he figured out, "are you going to the Ya clan?"
