"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to know how you knew those two envoys. What are they escorting? "

Yun Ruo Lu turned around, although she looked small and skinny, the aura of an expert coming from her made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The brawny man scratched his head, looking somewhat honest and honest. "It was a friend's introduction, but it wasn't really anything much. It was just a box the size of a palm. It was said to be a congratulatory gift for the emperor." I've always been in charge of those two ambassadors, and I'm only responsible for their safety. But this morning, when they came in together, they found the thing was gone, and it was lying on my head. How can I not be angry?

"Haven't you seen what's inside the box?"

Yun Ruo Lu did not give up and continued to ask. She got some clues from this. These two ambassadors wanted to capture him, so they didn't bring any army to protect him. However, they did not want to attract attention, so they only got one person to escort them.

However, the more it was like this, the more important the item inside the box was.

"No, how could I see such an important thing?"

The brawny man said angrily, as if feeling wronged and wronged.

"How could that be lost? Have you met any strange people lately? "

Yun Ruo Lu asked doubtfully, thinking that maybe someone had already set their eyes on them, and was just looking for a good opportunity to make a move. After arriving at the capital, the two envoys would definitely relax their vigilance.

The brawny man touched his chin as he started to recall carefully. He seemed to have thought of something important, as he slapped his head and cried out loudly.

"What's wrong? Have you thought of something? "

The sturdy man nodded and said, "Last night, when I came back from the outside, I found that my door was locked, but after entering the room, I found that the window was opened. At that time, I thought that I forgot to close the door before I left, and now that I think about it, someone has come to my room! "

Just as the sturdy man finished speaking, Yun Ruo Lu ran over to the window to take a look.

Opening the window, he saw a remote alleyway. On the other side of the alleyway, there was a slums. The buildings there looked very dilapidated, and the people living inside were all commoners.

There should not be such a place in the Imperial City, but what was strange was that it did exist within the Imperial City, moreover, it had a history of over a hundred years.

The people living in the slums were all peasants without any status. Almost all of them could be compared to slaves. Compared to slaves, the only thing they had was freedom.

Those Dalits had always lived in the Dalit district and had never dared to come out and cause trouble, and their main source of life was from begging.

In the Imperial City, you could often see women with tattered clothes, elderly people, and children begging around with broken bowls in their hands. They were often pushed down to the ground in disgust, and they were even injured by a fast horse, but no one had ever extended a helping hand to them.

Yun Ruo You looked at the slums for a long time, and a smirk appeared on her face as she muttered to herself, "Perhaps … I know where the things you lost are. "

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. The sturdy man followed closely behind her and said loudly, "Bring me with you. I want to see which reckless bastard dares to steal my things."

The two of them arrived at the slums. The road was narrow, with broken houses on both sides.

After entering the slums, he could see people sleeping on the grass everywhere. The clothes they wore were very simple, some were even tattered to the point that they couldn't be covered.

There were also women crying while hugging sick children. When they saw the two uninvited guests, Yun Ruo Ran and the strong man, they gave them complicated looks.

There were those who hated him, those who were vigilant, those who were envious, and those who were afraid.

Among them, a few brazen beggars surrounded them and held their hands together as they begged, "Two sirs, please do us a favor and give us some money."

"This master, we haven't eaten for a few days. Give us something to eat."

"Masters, my child is going to die soon. Please do good and save my child." The sound of a woman crying could be heard. Anyone who heard it would feel heartbroken.

Yun Ruo Lu touched her waist, wanting to help the sick child, but was stopped by the strong man beside her.

"Now is not the time, don't miss the important matter."

The brawny man said angrily to the beggars beside him, "If you don't want to die, then scram!"

That loud roar scared everyone and they instantly opened up a path.

Yun Ruo Lu observed the situation on both sides as she walked. There were at least a thousand people in this slum. If she had really taken out the money just now, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

These people would definitely swarm over. For these people, dealing with them was indeed troublesome.

"Are you sure we can find what we lost here?"

The man asked Yun Ruo Lu doubtfully. People in the slums were either old, weak, sick, sick, or widowed. None of them knew martial arts. If they wanted to steal from right under his nose, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens.

"I'm not sure, but my intuition tells me that I can find some clues here."

Yun Ruo Lu said with some uncertainty. After all, she didn't understand the situation, so she directly relied on her own speculations to search for clues.

The two of them walked around the slums, not noticing anything.

Not to mention seeing valuable items, he didn't even see a complete bowl.

"Young master, it seems like the item isn't here. Let's look elsewhere and not waste time here." Furthermore, you are not an official, so why do you have to go through all this effort to curry favor with me? "

After walking for a while, the strong man wanted to give up. Not only was the slums dirty, but they also stank so much that it was impossible to stay in the slums for long.

The brawny man's words weren't unreasonable. It was better to have less trouble, so why did she have to deal with this troublesome matter? She was only interested in what they had lost at first, wondering who would dare to set eyes on what the Emperor had lost.

The reason why Yun Ruo You came to the Slum District to search for items wasn't because these commoners had the ability to steal from her, but because she felt that this was a good place to hide her.

Before this moment, she had never imagined that she would step foot into this place.

Just as Yun Ruo Lu was about to give up, a black shadow flashed past them. It was so fast that no one was able to catch a glimpse of it.

Yun Ruo Lu and the burly man felt someone behind them at the same time. It wasn't because they could see, but because they felt a strong wind blow past their backs, giving them a very strange feeling.

The two of them turned around at the same time, but that strong wind once again circled behind them like a bolt of lightning.

After going back and forth a few times, they weren't even able to clearly see what the other party was.

The two of them could only stand back to back in vigilance. A black shadow quickly flashed past their eyes. Yun Ruo Lu immediately grabbed the opportunity and rapidly chased after them.

That person's Qing Gong was extremely good. It took Yun Ruo Lu a lot of effort before she managed to catch up with him in the forest.

"Who are you? Let's see where you can run to now! "

After Yun Ruo Lu caught up to that person, they began to fight. The one who came was a masked man in black. Not only was he skilled in lightness, his martial arts was also top-notch.

After exchanging a few blows with him, Yun Ruo Lu realised that she was not his match.

One had to know that with the help of the red calyx, her martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds. Compared to her previous self, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. However, compared to the man in front of him, it was nothing.

Fortunately, that person didn't kill her and only left after injuring her.

Yun Ruo You used her Zhen Qi to protect her body. Her injuries were not serious, but what surprised her was that there was actually such a top tier expert hidden in the capital. It was just too terrifying.

"Young master, are you alright? Your speed is way too fast. I really can't keep up."

At this moment, the sturdy man finally caught up with them, gasping for breath while lying on a tree trunk.

"Let's go back. It seems like we won't be able to get that thing back. The two envoys should think of another way as soon as possible!"

Yun Ruo Lu tidied up her messy clothes, and left without a care for the strong man's words.

After returning to the city, Yun Ruo went back to the palace after buying the things she needed. It was just that the unexpected gain today had caused her heart to once again be unable to calm down.

When Yun Ruo Lu passed by the backyard, she met Zi Xin, who was admiring the flowers. Zi Xin had already chosen a congratulatory gift for Yuchi Xuan. Naturally, she had plenty of time to do something carefree and leisurely.

Upon seeing Zi Xin, Yun Ruo Lu didn't avoid her, but stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine!"

Zi Xin turned around and saw Yun Ruo Lu. She smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite, Guard Yun. Why are you here when you're not serving by the prince's side?"

Yun Ruo went back to her room and told the truth, "Your subordinate hasn't seen your highness for a few days!"

As Yuchi Xuan's secondary concubine, it was impossible for Zixin to not know that Yuchi Xuan had avoided her presence. The reason she asked this question was simply to embarrass her.

"Oh ~ I almost forgot about this matter. You are no longer a popular person in front of the prince, so you naturally don't have to follow him."

"Hehe …" If there's nothing else, this subordinate will take his leave first! "

Yun Ruo laughed dryly, she could faintly feel a trace of hostility and jealousy in Zi Xin's words.

"Wait a minute, what's that thing in your hand?"

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was trying to avoid it on purpose, Zi Xin's sharp eyes noticed the item in her hands.

"It's nothing, just some ordinary items."

Yun Ruo Lu passed the items to Zixin, indicating for her to inspect them as she pleased. She wasn't worried about anything bad, so naturally, she wasn't afraid of her shadow.

Zi Xin didn't try to make things difficult for Yun Ruo Lu since she was just a guard after all. It would be disrespectful of her to do so, so she waved her hand and smiled, "Since it's nothing, you can do what you want. Your highness has been very busy recently, if there's anything you need you can come and find me directly. "

Yun Ruo Lu knew what Zi Xin meant, but she still had something very important to do, so she didn't want to be entangled with Zi Xin anymore. She nodded and left.
