Master Su San still didn't quite understand what Su Yao said, so he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean? What could possibly happen to us?"
It was not until Chen Dong looked at him that Master Su San realized the meaning of these words. He was a little bit incredulous. He knew that this time Su Rong was most likely ambushed, but he thought they were just going to rescue Su Rong. Could it be that he was also in danger
After all, he was an official. Even though he had never suffered any loss, he was very familiar with some things in the officialdom. Thinking of this, he said coldly: "How dare these people?!"
But even if that is the case, if the local government or the garrison were really the murderer of Su Rong, they should not be so bold. There are more than 20 Jinyiwei led by Chen Dong here!
"Not really?" Although Master Su San felt that this guess was a bit too far-fetched, he knew that Su Yao was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking. Since she said so, it must be possible. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
Chen Dong stood up and smiled when he saw this: "Don't worry, old man. This is just my and the fourth lady's speculation. We are just preparing for a rainy day. Things may not be that bad."
He paused for a moment and then said, "With us here, we will definitely not let anything go wrong for you two, otherwise I will not be able to face my master again."
The adult he was referring to here was naturally Song... Oh no, it was Xiao Heng now.
Master Su San felt a little worried and sighed. It would be great if Song Heng was here. For some reason, although Song Heng's reputation as a killer was widely known, he always felt confident as long as Song Heng was around.
After a moment of worrying, Master Su San hardened his heart and tried to suppress his anxiety. Instead, he urged Su Yao to eat: "You have to fill your stomach first to have energy."
He closed the door and followed Chen Dong out. Seeing Chen Dong walking downstairs, he could not help but call out to him: "Master Chen, you are well-informed. Is my Rong brother... "
Yan Cao looked at him and turned her head, saying to Su Yao with some emotion: "Miss, the Third Master has changed a lot."
The former Master Su San was never so down-to-earth and considerate. Yan Cao always thought he was scary and powerful at first.
Master Su San on the stairs had an anxious look on his face. Su Yao looked at him without any reaction until she accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure. Then her expression suddenly changed and she stood up.
Yancao was about to close the window, but when she saw her violent reaction, she was also startled: "What's wrong, girl?"
Su Yao frowned and stared outside for a while before shaking his head. He ordered sternly, "Go and ask Master Chen to come up."
Yan Cao had followed her for such a long time, and seeing her so serious, she immediately knew that something big had happened. Not daring to delay, she opened the door in a few steps, trotted down the stairs and called Chen Dong to come upstairs.
Chen Dong was still a little confused. When he went upstairs and saw Su Yao staring out the window, he thought it was where he had been standing before. He was a little confused: "Fourth Miss?"
"It seems that we should make preparations in advance." Su Yao waved his hand towards him, and waited until he walked to a place where he could see outside before saying, "I just saw someone staring at you."
This sentence immediately shocked Yan Cao, who was cleaning the table, into a cold sweat. Even Chen Dong's expression immediately became serious: "Is Fourth Miss right? I'll go take a look!"
"No!" Su Yao gently closed the window and tapped his fingers on the table: "This is at the post station. If I remember correctly, you Jinyiwei also have a guard post here, so you can receive the news, right?"
Chen Dong nodded. Seeing her looking at him, he suddenly understood what Su Yao meant. "They are just here to spy on us. They should be planning to keep an eye on us first."
"Yes!" Su Yao glanced at Yan Cao, asked Yan Cao to take out the map that had been put away, spread it out on the table for Chen Dong to see, and then asked softly: "If it is really as we guessed before, why do you think they are staring at us?"
Is there any need to say this? Chen Dong said without hesitation: "Of course, they will do everything they can to stop us from finding out the situation."
"Yes, but you are clearly the confidant of the emperor's eldest grandson, and we are also close to him. In that case, could we be bribed or easily give up investigating my brother?" Su Yao curled his lips sarcastically: "Generally speaking, if you tell a lie, you have to tell more lies to cover it up. And if you want to cover up something, you certainly won't hesitate to sacrifice a group of people, right?"
Chen Dong suddenly raised his head.
At the same time, outside the teahouse on the left side of the post station, an inconspicuous man appeared from the corner, sat in the middle of the crowd, pushed his companion, took the tea next to him, drank it all, and then wiped his mouth.
"Liang Mazi, how is it over there?" The tall man next to him threw a peanut into his mouth. There was a scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his forehead to his chin. He looked very scary, but he didn't care at all. He clicked his tongue and sneered: "Look, everyone in the village is well fed and well drunk. They have everything now. There's no need to talk about the boss and his men. They founded this village. They can marry seven or eight women and have endless gold and silver. We have nothing to say. But look at those people who escaped from outside the pass. Why can they also eat and drink well? We have to do all the hard work!"
He complained and pushed him fiercely: "We have to do a great job this time! If we can really get the whereabouts of the silver from them, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives! We have to be a leader, right?"
"You think too far ahead. You've already fallen for beauty before we even start dating!" Liang Mazi lived up to his name, with white pockmarks all over his nose. At this moment, he glared at his real companion strangely, "Hook, don't do anything bad. The boss said that we should just keep an eye on them and find out their situation. Don't do anything else. Otherwise, you might end up losing your life instead of getting any benefits!"
Hook rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, so what did you find out?"
"The Su family came here with the Jinyiwei. There are at least twenty-four people in the Jinyiwei group. The Su family also brought a lot of security guards. From my perspective, they all have good skills." Liang Mazi pulled him and motioned him to leave, while lowering his voice. Soon he disappeared.
As they turned the corner and disappeared, the people sitting at the table in the teahouse looked at each other and stood up. The one in the lead had a full beard.
