Late at night, several people left the city in a carriage and completely abandoned the drug store.

Yichen's arm was inconvenient, so the driver was replaced by Yuhe. They bought a spacious carriage, Zhang Zinuo lay in it, and the rest of the people sat.

"Where are you sending me?" Zhang Zinuo asked weakly.

The person who answered was Yi Chen: "Take you to a place where you can be free."

Zhang Zinuo's eyes immediately showed a trace of contempt, as if he didn't believe Yi Chen's words at all.

At this time, Qin Nanxian said very seriously: "Have you met Shao Ziqing?"

Zhang Zinuo looked at Qin Nanxian, hesitating whether to say anything, and remained silent for a long time before spitting out: "He is a villain worse than a beast!"

The anger in his words was so obvious that Zhang Zinuo's whole appearance changed.

Jiang Zuiyao immediately asked: "Why did he arrest you?"

Zhang Zinuo didn't answer, and Yi Chen shook his head towards her, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

The carriage traveled north for countless days and nights. They had already left Rongguo. After a bumpy journey, they arrived at a small country - Biguo.

This is a small country bordering big countries. Due to constant disputes between big countries, it is not peaceful here.

"We're here." Yuhe replied outside.

Jiang Zuiyao lifted the car curtain and took a look. There was not even a sentry under the city gate, and no one was seen entering or leaving the city gate. The silence made people feel depressed.

Yi Chen said at this time: "After entering the city, be sure not to get lost. It's very chaotic here."

Jiang Zuiyao asked in confusion: "Is this the place where you said Zhang Zino can be free?"

Yi Chen nodded and said: "This country is very small, as small as two or three cities in the Rong Dynasty, but it has no one to rule it."

This was even more incredible. He frowned and said, "How is that possible? No matter how big or small a country is, there should always be a ruler."

Qin Nanxian said at this time: "This place is sandwiched between Rongguo and Qingguo. There have been constant disputes between the two countries, and this place has become a battlefield. Such a weak country will eventually be disintegrated under the fire of war. It's just that these two countries have not been the same in recent years.

Without the battle, this place would be considered quiet for a while, but the royal family no longer exists."

Yi Chen nodded and agreed: "That's right, there were also attempts to have someone revolt and rule, but they all failed."

Jiang Zuiyao asked curiously: "Why?"

Yi Chen replied: "This is a place for defectors from all over the world. Only the strong can survive. Do you think defectors will be willing to be controlled by others? Do you remember that I once told you that there are many strong martial arts people in this world?

You can fight hundreds of people. If there are such people, this place will be in chaos."

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao finally understood that this was not a country. To put it bluntly, it was a desolate place with internal and external troubles.

Yichen lifted the car curtain and said to Yuhe, "Let's enter the city."

The wheels of the carriage were turning, and the road was unobstructed. You could see many wanderers and many idle people standing on the street, all of them vigilant. Everyone was carrying weapons, and they didn't look like ordinary people at all.

Jiang Zuiyao put down the curtain and stopped looking. The carriage temporarily stopped at a certain place. Yichen and Qin Nanxian went out to find a place to stay, while Yuhe stayed.

After noon, the two came back. This time, Qin Nanxian drove to an old house. The place was very rough and the house was also very dilapidated. It looked like it had been there for decades, but the rent was not cheap.

Twenty taels of silver a month.

Yi Chen said very seriously at this time: "This place is not as good as Rongguo. There are hidden dangers everywhere. You must be careful. Yuhe, you are responsible for guarding Zhang Zinuo. Let's just wait and see what happens."

There was nothing in the rented house except tables, chairs and benches, so Yi Chen escorted Jiang Zuiyao to the street to buy some daily necessities.

On the way out, Jiang Zuiyao's face was covered with gauze. Many people who saw them looked at her a few times, their eyes filled with vigilance.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't dare to look too much, she just looked at the road ahead and walked forward.

After buying a few things, they realized that the things here were really expensive, several times the price in Kyoto. They didn't plan to live here permanently, so they only bought five or six things, which cost three to four taels of silver.

On the way back, I looked at the people dressed in different styles on the street, and everyone seemed not so friendly.

After returning to their residence, several people were eating the things Jiang Zuiyao bought. Zhang Zinuo, who had been unwilling to speak much, suddenly took the initiative to ask: "There are people from your Imperial City Department here, right?"

Such questions immediately made the four people's expressions become more reserved. It seemed that their identities had indeed been exposed.

Seeing that the four people were silent, Zhang Zinuo added, "You should have heard that the Qing Kingdom has lost its national seal, and it is now in this humble country."

When Jiang Zuiyao heard this, she was immediately shocked.

Lost the Great Seal?

This is a very important matter. Something as important as the national seal must be kept properly. How could it be lost?

At this time, Zhang Zinuo said again: "Whether it's for money or profit, many people want that treasure, so the country is very lively now, so you should be careful."

The implication of this was understood by the four people present. Zhang Zinuo was once the general protecting the country of Qing. They brought him into the city, which naturally attracted attention.

At this time, Qin Nanxian spoke: "We are not interested in the national seal."

Zhang Zinuo sneered and said: "Others don't think so. You are so loyal to the court that you are willing to risk your life? I advise you to leave as soon as you leave me here, otherwise you will cause trouble."

The four of them couldn't think of anything to eat, they just sat there looking at each other.

Later, Zhang Zinuo added: "But it's not easy to leave here. This place is easy to get in and difficult to get out. If you don't have some skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

Faced with Zhang Zinuo, who was usually taciturn, he suddenly said so many words today that Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but look at him.

Zhang Zinuo's eyes happened to fall on Jiang Zuiyao at this moment. His eyes turned cold and he said: "What's more, you have a woman who is powerless, which is even more of a burden."

When the word "burden" appeared, Jiang Zuiyao's heart couldn't help but tighten. This was what she cared about most.

None of the four people ignored him, but Zhang Zinuo continued: "Don't think that you are hiding it well. Within three days, everyone will know my existence, and you will also become a thorn in my side."

Yi Chen then said: "We sent you to this place, you should thank us."

Zhang Zinuo said: "That's why I tell you this."

Yi Chen smiled slightly at Zhang Zinuo: "Thank you for your kindness, but these are not things you should worry about. Take good care of your injuries. You will still have to suffer for a long time in the future."
