Gu Fei nodded: “Okay, I got it, thank you very much today.”
The little beggar smiled at Gu Fei and ran away quickly.
Gu Fei walked into the alley, counted to the third house, stood at the door, and listened.
Then a woman inside said: “You can’t beat that girl, what are you doing, you didn’t get the money, and you came back with a bloody head, and I have to use the money to buy medicine for you!”
Then the man’s voice sounded: “What are you afraid of, it’s just a beating, I’m not dead yet. Don’t worry, I will go to that person tomorrow to ask for the reward.”
“That person is generous, seeing me like this, he will give more reward money.”
Gu Fei listened for a while and left quietly.
Back to the inn, waited until the middle of the night, and closed the door as usual.
Gu Fei returned to her room and sent Lian’er to sleep with Lanzhi.
She lay on the bed and took a nap for a while, listening to the night watch outside: “Dong! – Dong, Dong!”
Gu Fei knew it was the hour of Hai, which was eleven o’clock evening. She got up from the bed, took out a black hooded sweater from the space, put it on, put the hood on her head, and then slipped out of the room.
Walking to the side door, Gu Fei pulled the bolt, walked outside, and locked the side door with a lock.
Then she walked along the street to the west of the city.
There was no curfew in Ping’an City, and pedestrians could walk on the street at night.
But at this time, except for the patrol soldiers and the night watchmen, basically no one else was walking.
Those who were still walking on the street at this time were either in a hurry or not good people.
After walking for a while, Gu Fei suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
Gu Fei dodged to the side and hid behind a pillar. When the sound of horse hooves went away, she walked forward again.
Xiao Yu was riding on the horse, thinking about the figure he had just seen. No matter how he looked at it, the figure was very familiar.
He suddenly pulled the reins hard and got off the horse: “I have something to do, you two go back first.”
Shitou was shocked and got off the horse, and hurriedly told Zhuzi: “I will follow you, you go back first.”
Zhuzi looked at the two horses that had lost their owners and wanted to cry without tears.
Xiao Yu jumped onto the roof with a few leaps, and Shitou followed him onto the roof.
Xiao Yu frowned and lowered his voice: “Why are you following me? Didn’t I tell you to go back?”
Shitou had a bitter face: “Young Master, if I don’t follow you, I’m afraid I won’t live to see the sun tomorrow.”
Xiao Yu frowned and said nothing more. He crouched and walked quickly to the place where he met Gu Fei just now.
Soon, Xiao Yu saw Gu Fei.
She walked in the shadows on the street, her steps were urgent and fast.
Xiao Yu stared at the figure on the roadside and confirmed that it was Gu Fei without a doubt.
He didn’t know why, but he recognized her after just a glance.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to feel.
Did he misjudge her?
A girl wearing a strange nightgown in the middle of the night, couldn’t be taking a walk.
Shitou didn’t recognize Gu Fei.
He just didn’t understand why the prince would bother with this matter when she was just a thief in a nightgown.
Gu Fei quickly walked to the alley she had been to before.
She counted to the third house, stood at the door for a while, and put her ear to the door to listen carefully.
A man was snoring in the room.
Gu Fei pushed the door and bolted it from the inside.
She walked to the window and pulled the window. The window opened with a “creak”, which scared Gu Fei.
On the roof opposite, Xiao Yu watched Gu Fei tremble, he laughed inside his heart, but also felt anxious inexplicably.
