Xu Xiuyi was in the private room, quietly waiting for the mysterious contact to appear.
Sister Ming did not tell her who the other party was, but only said that if the other party needed it, she would contact her and ask her to provide the other party with necessary assistance while ensuring her own safety.
Suddenly there were three long and two short knocks at the door.
Xu Xiuyi immediately ducked to the door and whispered: "Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky?"
A woman came from the door and hesitated for a moment... said in a low voice: "Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged men are everywhere..."
Xu Xiuyi almost laughed out loud, the code was correct.
Fortunately, Sister Ming came up with such a "refined" and "appropriate" code, which ordinary people simply can't match.
As soon as the door opened, a woman wearing a cloak stepped in.
After she took off her cloak, Xu Xiuyi took a closer look, and her pupils suddenly trembled: "The Crown Prince...the Crown Princess?!"
Ming Yueying took off her cloak, revealing her pale face. She nodded gently: "It's me."
Xu Xiuyi reacted and was about to salute, but Ming Yueying held her wrist: "There is no princess here, only the second lady of the Ming family."
Xu Xiuyi understood such a subtle hint immediately. She looked at Ming Yueying with a complicated expression: "You are... today."
She never thought that Sister Ming's contact person in the palace would be the Crown Princess.
She clearly remembered that the Crown Princess was imprisoned because she failed in plotting against Sister Ming.
Ming Yueying knew why Xu Xiuyi had such a strange expression. She twitched the corners of her lips quietly and bitterly: "I have an important letter here for Miss Xu to send to the eldest sister. Please be careful."
Xu Xiuyi took the letter from her and carefully put it into her sleeve without reading the content: "Yes, don't worry."
She accidentally caught a glimpse of the bruises on Ming Yueying's neck, her eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly asked: "Do you need my help?"
Ming Yueying shook her head gently: "Eldest sister said that each of us has our own battlefield and mission. You can't help me on my battlefield now. I will act by ear."
She was too stupid and confused before, but now, she wants to earn a new life and a new future for herself.
Xu Xiuyi nodded and said, "Second Miss, it's easy to go. If you need anything, please send someone to pass the message to me."
Ming Yueying nodded, put on her cloak and turned to leave.
Xu Xiuyi looked at her back and sighed deeply in her heart.
Although she is a married woman, since she accompanied Sister Ming to the black market last time, she has seen the darkest side of the world.
She forced herself to read some special books, gained a better understanding of men and women, and became more disgusted with marriage.
Look at what the current Crown Princess has become, a talented woman who was once famous in the capital, but has been ruined in the hands of the Crown Prince...
"Why is it that after a woman gets married, she can no longer control herself? Even her life is no longer her own." She murmured to herself.
But the maidservant who followed her could only remain silent.
Xu Xiuyi collected the letter, then cheered up and stood up: "Let's go, we have to change places, I have to deliver a letter to Sister Ming."
Xu Xiuyi got into the car with his personal maid, and the car arrived at a tea house, which was the property of the Red Blood Legion.
As soon as she got off the carriage, the man loading the goods beside her suddenly lost his balance and stumbled. A heavy box of tea in his hand bumped towards Xu Xiuyi.
Xu Xiuyi instinctively raised her palms to hold down the box, but a pair of long arms moved faster than her. She slapped the box and placed it firmly back on the loading carriage.
Behind him, a man laughed and scolded in a carefree manner: "Be careful, if you bump into a beauty, I will pay for it!"
The voice was unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar. She turned around and saw a mixed-race face with handsome and deep lines.
The man's silver-gray eyes were mysterious and enchanting. He wore a tight, silver exotic robe casually on his body, with a jade belt tied around his waist, revealing a sexy chest line.
Xu Xiuyi was stunned and subconsciously said: "It's you?!"
Silver Fox raised his eyebrows and looked down at her: "What, beauty, do you recognize me?"
Xu Xiuyi straightened her face instantly, took a step back, and said coldly: "I don't know, thank you for helping me, young master, but men and women don't kiss each other, so what you're doing is against the rules!"
With that said, she bowed politely, then led the maidservant to turn around and walk towards the tea shop.
Silver Fox looked at her appearance and touched his chin thoughtfully.
For some reason, he also thought she looked familiar. He had seen her somewhere...
"Master Yin, are you changing your taste? You wouldn't fall in love with a noble girl who is upright and upright, would you?" the partner beside him who was helping with the business said with a smile.
Silver Fox ignored his men. He glanced at the heavy tea box that required a grown man to carry carefully, and then remembered that the girl had stabilized the operation of the box with one hand just now.
He narrowed his silver-gray eyes and smiled strangely: "Interesting."
A well-behaved noblewoman can actually learn martial arts?
and……
With his ability to remember everything after all these years of working in intelligence, he believed that he must have seen this Central Plains girl somewhere!
Silver Fox simply followed him into the teahouse again.

At the same time, Northeastern Xinjiang
Ming Lanruo turned left and right in front of the mirror and took a look at the fine cloth shirt she was wearing.
After combing her bangs, the men's clothes fit her perfectly, plus Cang Qiao... OK, plus Qiao Yan did some simple modifications on her face.
The overly feminine beauty on her face disappeared, leaving only the heroic spirit of a teenager - she looked like a handsome boy in his teens.
Ming Lanruo was very satisfied with her attire. She turned around and looked at Qiao Yan with a smile behind her, who was packing up her disguise: "It turns out that my men's clothes can also look so good!"
Her facial features are cool and delicate, and she is always bright. Both Jing and He like to magnify the advantages of her appearance.
But I never thought that I could be so handsome in men's clothing. I really don't have any femininity at all.
Qiao Yan put away the things, raised his hand to hold her face, and smiled: "The little empress is very beautiful."
"Hey, what should you call me?"
Ming Lanruo slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes at him: "We are going to disguise ourselves as guards of the Tang Dynasty to escort property into the bandits' den in Changbai Mountain. Don't call me by the wrong name. You have to change your name!"
Qiao Yan said calmly: "Yes, Xiao Ming."
Xiao... Xiao... Xiao Ming...
Ming Lanruo was silent for a moment, why did this name remind her of Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Zhang?
It’s really a passer-by!
She originally wanted a nice name for the young master, but the guard... forget it, Xiao Ming will just be Xiao Ming.
Qiao Yan looked at her pursed lips, seeming a little unhappy, and stretched out his hand to straighten her clothes a little: "We are going into the mountains tonight. After entering the mountains, try not to leave my side."
Ming Lanruo nodded, knowing that he was worried about her, so she sighed: "After you enter the mountain, don't be so affectionate to me, otherwise people will think you are a broken sleeve."
Qiao Yan paused, looked at her and smiled: "Okay, Xiao Ming."
