Therefore, when the market opened the next day, Lu Qing placed Han Shuo at the post office. With a hundred coins in her pocket, she left with Xue Yan.

This place was close to Hu Dian, and many of the items sold in the market were all Hu Feng's. There were also many ordinary Hu Dian merchants. Under Xue Yan's suggestion, Lu Qing bought a few soft fur jackets, saying that it was winter at Yumen Pass, so these things were useful.

Subsequently, Lu Qing also bought some snacks for Han Shuo.

"You don't want to buy something for yourself?" Xue Yan looked at a jewelry store. Although they were all inferior items, there were still a few that could see through.

"He's still poor." Lu Qing curled her lips and continued walking forward.

She still had a little more than twenty cents left in her pocket, and she didn't want to waste it.

Xue Yan pulled her to a quiet corner and said, "If I could get a reward for you and Lord Ci Shi, you wouldn't be so short on money. However, this would also expose that you killed Shi …"

A hand suddenly covered Xue Yan's mouth. Lu Qing glared at him fiercely.

"Just pretend this never happened. I don't care about the reward. I just want to be safe and sound."

Xue Yan looked at the slender finger in front of him. Somehow, he remembered that Lu Qing had bitten his finger twice, so he also bit it.

It was very light, and he had only grinded it with his teeth.

Lu Qing was taken aback. She immediately retracted her hand, only to find that there was a slight bite mark and some water on her finger.

"Is it a dog?"

Lu Qing turned around and walked towards the busy city, but Xue Yan noticed that Lu Qing's originally white ears had turned red.

Xue Yan smiled, then followed Lu Qing and continued to go shopping with her.

It was almost noon. Xue Yan was about to take Lu Qing out for a good meal when he saw the street suddenly turn chaotic. A large group of soldiers rushed over from the street.

There was a man in the middle riding a big horse. He was very handsome.

Lu Qing couldn't help but praise him. This man was exactly like her back then. He looked around 30 years old, was handsome, and even had a touch of gentleness in him.

Xue Yan went up to welcome him.

"General."

Xue Yan bowed at the side of the street.

The man saw Xue Yan and his eyes lit up. He gave the order for the team to stop and he jumped down from the horse.

"Little brother Xue need not be so polite, are you able to return the favor by going to Longxi?"

Xue Yan glanced at Lu Qing and whispered in her ear.

That person also looked at Lu Qing from time to time with a surprised look in his eyes.

It's over, Lu Qing thought. This guy must have told this handsome old man.

As expected, Xue Yan quickly came to her side with a smile and told her that she was fine.

Lu Qing was brought back to the inn by Xue Yan with an ugly expression on her face. She hurriedly ate lunch and heard some noises outside. That old handsome guy had arrived.

On the way back to the inn, Xue Yan had already told her that this was the former Qin Province General Ci Shi and Pingxi, Zhang Mao. Right now, the Qin Province was in a state of chaos and had almost been occupied by the Hu people.

Lu Qing thought for a long time. She finally recalled that the surname of the Liang Country of the sixteen kingdoms was Zhang.

Xue Yan went out to welcome them. He called Lu Qing to come with him, and then the three of them went into the same room.

Zhang Mao sat while Xue Yan and Lu Qing stood.

"A person cannot look at himself. A mere weak girl can actually kill Shi Hu alone. I'm impressed!"

Zhang Mao smiled warmly and looked at Lu Qing admiringly.

"It was an accident that I killed Shi Hu. After killing him, I would not dare to believe it. However, I am afraid of bringing disaster upon myself. General, please be magnanimous and do not speak of this matter."
