"Which Zhou Gongzi?" Bai Ruozhu feigned ignorance and asked.
The guard smiled apologetically and said, "You'll know once you go there."
It's said one shouldn't hit a smiling face, let alone the other party being a government soldier; she wasn't foolish enough to expose her identity because of this. After a quick thought, she nodded and agreed.
As they walked along the road, Jianqi said with some concern, "Master, that Zhou Gongzi doesn't seem to have good intentions. Why don't I go distract him later, and you escape the city first?"
Bai Ruozhu shook her head and whispered, "No need for that. If he wanted to harm us, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble or wait until now."
"Then what does he want?" Jianqi asked.
Bai Ruozhu laughed, "I'm a merchant now, naturally he wants to talk business with me."
Jianqi felt there was more to her words; the business talk surely wasn't as simple as it appeared.
