Compared to other places, the climate of Chang Yao County was much more unstable. Moreover, it was close to the border. If the yellow sand blew against the wind, it would truly be fatal.    

Zhou Qu was alright. After all, he was someone who had stayed on the battlefield before. He had seen the kind of weather before, so he was worried about Lee Wanning.    

However, Lee Wanning kept saying that she was fine. This made Zhou Qu want to stop the army, so he had to temporarily put it aside.    

Not many people in the imperial court knew that Lee Wanning had come to Chang Yao Country. After all, they couldn't let anyone else know about the army that was hidden here.    

Zhou Qu was naturally aware of this fact. Before going to Yao County, he only spoke to the city guardian and said that he was going there to inspect it. He didn't say that it was Empress Dowager's carriage.    

After arriving at Changyao County, Lee Wanning was used to seeing the bustle of other places. When she saw the desolation of this place, her expression couldn't help but change. After a long while, she looked at the box of Zhou Qu and said, "The land here is usually very barren, isn't it?"    

Zhou Qu nodded and said, "The land here usually doesn't grow much, so people here usually sell things from outside the country to survive. But there are a lot of people here, and a robust man needs to support at least five or six people. So, this is why it has never been a good place to develop."    

Lee Wanning nodded and looked ahead. "How much longer?" Would you like to rest for the night first? "    

Zhou Qu looked at the route and said, "It should still be half a day and the sky is getting dark. Why don't we take a rest?"    

There were very few people here, and the people who opened the tavern were not many either. Zhou Qu's men searched around for a long time before finally finding a decent tavern.    

When Lee Wanning first entered, she had already felt that something wasn't right.    

This inn was a little strange.    

A woman should be helping a man in such a barren place, but there was no woman in the inn. There were only a few able-bodied men, and when Lee Wanning entered, she could feel their gazes on her.    

Lee Wanning was dressed the most plainly and did not wear any jewelry. The only thing in her bag was Zhou Huai's corpse.    

Lee Wanning looked at Zhou Qu, "Here..." It seems a little strange. "    

Lee Wanning tried her best to control her voice. When she heard her words, Zhou Qu just nodded his head. Then, he said in a low voice, "I will have someone take turns watching tonight."    

Lee Wanning thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. If it was just any ordinary shop owner, it would be bad if they were scared. How about this, you let four people sleep in one room and take turns sleeping."    

"What about you?"    

Hearing Zhou Qu's words, Lee Wanning's expression froze for a moment. She continued, "It's alright. You'll protect me if anything happens, right?"    

Zhou Qu looked at her and nodded, "I will."    

At night, the entire inn was silent.    

When Lee Wanning closed her eyes, she could hear the sound of the wind blowing outside the window. The sound made Lee Wanning feel flustered.    

She got up from the bed and just as she got up, she heard a soft sound coming from outside the door.    

It was as if something had fallen onto the ground with a "pa" sound. It was not very loud, but it was loud enough for Lee Wanning to hear it clearly.    

Lee Wanning's eyes looked out and it was pitch black outside.    

She lit up the candle on the table. When she saw the light inside the house, the sound outside immediately stopped.    

The more Lee Wanning thought about it, the more she felt it wasn't simple. Just when she was thinking about how to notify Zhou Qu in the next room, she heard a soft voice.    

"Are you awake?"    

"I think she's awake, that woman."    

Lee Wanning's heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice. When she wanted to continue listening, that person also continued, "That woman has nothing to fear. Even the men in this room want to get rid of her first!"    

Hearing this, Lee Wanning's expression changed. She rolled her eyes and opened the door.    

Those people were hiding somewhere.    

Lee Wanning pretended to be calm and walked out. She sat at the door and started crying.    

Zhou Qu, who was in the next room, heard the miserable voice. Just as he was about to get up, he realized that there seemed to be something in the corner …    

His eyesight was extremely good. What he could see clearly was the slightly reflecting sword at that place. This person …    

Zhou Qu's eyes narrowed slightly.    

After crying for a while, Lee Wanning suddenly started to mutter to herself in a language that no one could understand.    

Can they understand?    

He was learning English.    

She didn't want to do anything, she just wanted Zhou Qu to wake up and not let him know what she was doing. So, she pretended to be sleepwalking as she mumbled to herself.    

After talking for a while, Lee Wanning turned around and walked back inside. She didn't forget to close the door even after she left.    

After all this was done, Lee Wanning lay on her bed. She could obviously feel the surroundings, which finally quieted down.    

Zhou Qu had been tense the entire time. He squinted his eyes slightly, but he could still see that the light of the blade was still there beside him.    

However, just as Lee Wanning's voice faded away, those people also slowly backed away.    

"Boss, our family's pot is about to fall to the ground! I have no choice. Even if I don't kill them, I have to go in and steal two items! "    

Several men were in the kitchen beside the lobby. One of them couldn't help but ask.    

The leader looked at him and said, "Third brother, I understand your feelings, but what you need to know is, whose family is the best right now? But this …" Not everyone can do it. "    

That person was already around fifty years old. His face was filled with vicissitudes and his eyes were filled with fatigue.    

When those people came in, he had already wanted to ruthlessly kill them and earn a good sum of money.    

But in the end, he still couldn't defend himself.    

After all, they were all decent people. It would be really difficult for them to commit murder and arson in one fell swoop.    

Thinking this, the leader waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's disperse!"    

"Then boss, our home …"    

"I know that there are old and young people in your family, but who here isn't like this? I still have a little money here, take it! "    

"No, how can I let you be responsible for this? I'll think of a way myself! "    

Everyone dispersed after he finished speaking.    

The next day, as soon as Lee Wanning got up, she saw Zhou Qu standing at her door. The way he looked as if no one was allowed in, made the people below tremble in fear.    

Lee Wanning walked up and whispered after looking at Zhou Qu, "How much money do we have left in the bag?"    

"Don't worry, that's enough."    

Lee Wanning nodded and said, "Leave enough silver and give me the rest."    

Zhou Qu looked at Lee Wanning strangely, but he didn't say anything. He just followed Lee Wanning's instructions and handed the silver taels over to her.    

Lee Wanning slowly walked towards the counter.    

When he saw Lee Wanning, the person behind the counter was stunned for a moment. Then, he slowly asked, "Madam, do you need any instructions?"    

Lee Wanning looked around and said, "As the only passable inn here, the environment inside your shop is a little shabby. Last night, I didn't sleep well."    

He was just about to say that he couldn't even afford to eat anymore, where did he get the money to decorate? Moreover, in this kind of place, there weren't many people coming from it all the time, no matter how well it was done, it was useless.    

However, what no one expected was that Lee Wanning slowly extended her hand and placed the silver on the counter.    

"Just treat it as me investing this money in your store. I'll come back in a year. If it's still the same, then I'll have to repay the money."    

Hearing this, the eyes of the gloomy-looking person suddenly lit up.    

Lee Wanning looked behind her and said, "Let's go!"    

Zhou Qu followed behind her.    

"I don't understand."    

When she heard what Zhou Qu said, Lee Wanning couldn't help but turn around and look at him.    

Zhou Qu said, "Last night, if it wasn't for us being on guard, he might have tried to kill us. Now … Yet you still gave them the money. What did that mean? "    

Lee Wanning looked ahead and said, "Zhou Qu, people's hearts are hard to predict. As long as he can control it in the end, that's good. I also want this kind of kindness, to be able to properly protect it. "    

Zhou Qu looked at Lee Wanning and whispered, "The Empress is kind."    

Lee Wanning shook her head and said, "A kind-hearted person. If possible, no one would want to become a bad person."    

Zhou Qu laughed. "That's true."    

The two of them smiled at each other and continued to the barracks.    

At this moment, Aa Tia was in Princess Changle's room.    

Princess Changle acted as if she didn't hear anything as she continued drawing the pictures in her hands.    

Aa Tia frowned and looked at her, "Princess, this matter..." Aren't you surprised? "    

Princess Changle slowly put down her brush and said, "To be honest, I'm not surprised at all. Crown Prince …" A long time ago, I regained my memories. "
