The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus a few times and said with a smile: "Miss, the total is three to two or five coins."

Shangguan Ruoli took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the shopkeeper, "No need to look for it."

The shopkeeper took the silver and when his eyes fell on her palm, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he immediately returned to normal, "Thank you, miss. I will change the change into copper coins and reward the beggars."

"The shopkeeper is kind!" Shangguan Ruoli smiled faintly, then turned around and told Xue'e: "Take the snacks."

Xue'e didn't dare to be rude outside. She avoided the beggars who were devouring snacks in disgust and walked to the counter. She took the snacks and helped Shangguan Ruoli back to the sedan chair.

The waiter saw the shopkeeper looking at Shangguan Ruoli's back with strange eyes, and asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper, do you know the eldest lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion?"

The shopkeeper was surprised, "Is she Shangguan Ruoli?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes, she is blind. Are there any blind ladies in the capital?"

"Blind man..." The shopkeeper watched Shangguan Ruoli get on the sedan chair.

Yan Cui saw a group of beggars eagerly waiting for the shopkeeper to reward them with copper coins, and had no intention of following her to chase the sedan, so she stamped her feet anxiously.

He turned around and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by a beggar, "You are stupid, we can each share a lot of 1,500 copper coins!"

"Let me go!" Yan Cui struggled.

But the beggar just grabbed her and refused to let go, "If you continue to follow that sedan, the eldest lady will not give out any more charity. With this money, the people we dig out from the graves will have medicine!"

Yan Cui didn't want to explain to him, so she broke free from his hand. When she turned around, she saw that there was no shadow of the sedan on the street, so she hurriedly chased after him.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said to the waiter: "You give them some money."

As soon as he returned to the back hall, he hurried back to his room, clicked on the candlestick beside the bed, and a secret door opened on the wall behind the bed.

The shopkeeper quickly stepped in and the secret door closed automatically.

The shopkeeper took down the candle from the wall, held up the light, and walked down the long steps to the underground passage.

After walking another five or sixty steps, I stopped in front of a secret door and knocked several times quickly.

The secret door opened, and there were five or six men in the room, sitting around the table. When the shopkeeper came in, they all stood up.

A handsome middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood up and said anxiously: "Old Wei, is there any news?"

Mr. Wei nodded solemnly, "The Plum Blossom Order has appeared."

"Plum Blossom Order?" Several people looked surprised and enthusiastic.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar's eyes were bright and he said doubtfully: "You have the key to the exquisite box that can contain the Plum Blossom Order. The exquisite box cannot be opened by ordinary people, and there are hidden weapons and mechanisms inside."

"Could it be a lie?"

"Although the exquisite box is exquisite, there is always a locksmith who can open it."

"Have you ever identified the authenticity of the Plum Blossom Order?"

…

Everyone was asking questions, but their eyes were full of expectation.

Mr. Wei said anxiously: "She printed the pattern of the Plum Blossom Order on the palm of her hand, but did not take out the Plum Blossom Order."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar said: "She is very cautious..."

Mr. Wei interrupted him and said: "Her appearance is somewhat similar to that of the old Pavilion Master and his wife. She is Shangguan Ruoli, the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. But now is not the time to worry about her identity. It seems that she

dangerous."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked stern, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Where is it?"

Mr. Wei hurriedly said: "The bearer carried him into Tongluo Alley in front..."

Before he could finish speaking, everyone in the room disappeared, and Mr. Wei hurriedly chased him out.

…

In the remote Tongluo Alley, Shangguan Ruoli's sedan has been surrounded by six masked men in black.

The four bearers and the four maids had already fled in fear, leaving Shangguan Ruoli alone in the sedan.

Shangguan Ruoli did not expect that those servants would find someone to rescue her, otherwise the men in black would not let them go. They are all masters in identifying scents, although they are not as good as Shangguan Ruoli, but as the saying goes, it is difficult to use two fists

Against four enemies.

However, with Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue around, they were barely evenly matched. Shangguan Ruoli took out the dagger from his waist without haste. It looked like his martial arts skills and lack of blindness were going to be revealed today.

"Come on!" Six men in black swarmed forward, raised their swords and stabbed at the sedan window and door.

"Dang, Dang" several loud sounds of weapons clashing sounded, and several hidden weapons opened their swords.

Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue flashed out with a sword in hand and got into a fight with several men in black.

There are two people chasing the wind and Zhuyue, and the sedan has two windows and one door. The two of them are outnumbered, and there will always be a flaw.

A man in black spotted a flaw and thrust his sword through a window.

"Ah! Princess!" Zhuyue was so anxious that she called out the title she was calling Shangguan Ruoli in her heart. While she was distracted, she was hit by an assassin's sword on her shoulder, and she groaned in pain.

Shangguan Ruoli nimbly ducked sideways, and the sword with blue light thrust into the air against her cheek. She smelled the smell of poison.

Loudly remind Zhui Feng and Zhuyue: "Their swords are quenched with poison!"

Zhuyue looked stern, jumped a step away, took out the detoxification pill and threw it into his mouth.

During this gap, two men in black raised their swords and stabbed into the sedan through the window and the door.

It was too late for Zhui Feng and Mingyue to fly to rescue them. They screamed in their hearts that they would have failed in their duties this time. Even if King Xuan let them go, they would not be able to live anymore!

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind hit, and several assassins staggered back a few steps, looking frightened.

A black figure seemed to fall from the sky, and slapped two black-clothed assassins away with one palm, causing the assassins to hit the wall.

The brick wall collapsed with a roar, and the two assassins' eyes exploded after being thrown, and they vomited blood and died.

Damn it! That’s awesome! Shangguan Ruoli stared with envy and jealousy.

"Yuan Hao!" The remaining four assassins were shocked and backed away in fear.

Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue showed admiration in their eyes, cupped their fists and said, "Young Master Yuan!"

Huh! Look at this, Yuan Hao is still a figure in the world. Shangguan Ruoli is sweet and proud, how could he fall in love with a mediocre person?

The four assassins looked at each other. They were no match for Yuan Hao, let alone Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue.

So, I decisively turned around and tried to escape.

Yuan Hao sneered, stretched out his hands into claws, and several people were sucked back by the huge internal force.

Yuan Hao put his hands together, the four of them collided into a ball, their brains collapsed, and the scene was horrific.

Zhui Feng frowned and said, "Young Master Yuan, you should be kept alive."

"There is no such master around Xiao, so he belongs to the prince!" After Yuan Hao finished speaking, he opened the sedan curtain and saw Shangguan Ruoli putting away the dagger calmly. He stretched out his hand to pull her out without thinking.

"Young Master Yuan!" Zhuyue said to stop her, "If men and women are not close to each other, I'd better ask my subordinates to help the young lady."

Shangguan Ruoli was now glad that he was still blind. He reached out and grabbed Yuan Hao's hand and said, "Get out of here quickly."

Yuan Hao's ears were slightly red, and when he was about to retract his hand, he was grabbed by Shangguan Ruoli, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
