Ren Xiaosu did not know who Chen Cheng wanted to bring him to meet, but he was interested in anything related to this group of bounty hunters.
There were still two more clues in the palace that had yet to be found, and they should all depend on this group of bounty hunters.
Ren Xiaosu felt that the reward for this mission would be very special. He had never done such a long mission in the past.
"Who are they?" Meg asked curiously. "I saw you running to their carriages earlier, so I thought you had your eyes on that little girl or that woman."
"You can't just say things like that." Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. "I have someone I like. You might get into trouble if you keep saying things like that."
"Then who are they?" Meg asked.
"Bounty hunters," Ren Xiaosu replied.
"Huh?" Meg looked at Ren Xiaosu, then turned to look at Chen Cheng's back. "Are they here to kill me?"
"If they were here to kill you, would I have let them live until now?" Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "Do you remember saying that you strapped a crossbow to shoot frogs when you were young?"
Meg said angrily, "I strapped a crossbow to it just for show. I didn't use it to shoot frogs. I didn't show you my love letter so that you could laugh at me in the future."
"Then why did you guys go to catch frogs?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Is this the time to talk about frogs? Let's talk about bounty hunters," Meg said angrily. "You mean, they are the group of people wanted by the Sorcerer Organization. It's very dangerous to hang out with them. The entire Sorcerer Organization is after them. If the Sorcerer Organization finds out that we're hanging out with them, we're done for."
"Even if you don't hang out with them, there will still be people who want to kill you. It was destined from the moment your little girlfriend secretly gave you money," Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly. "Don't worry, they're hiding it very well. As long as you don't tell anyone, they won't be exposed."
"Wait, I remember you asked about the bounty hunters before you left Yorkshire. Yes, you asked in my Wizard Tower. You met them then?" Meg asked suspiciously, "Where did you see them? What do you know about the arson the night before we left?"
"Ha? Really? " Ren Xiaosu said, "Maybe you remembered wrongly. Don't stray from the topic. Let's talk about bounty hunters now. Come with me tonight so that you don't get killed at the relay station alone."
"Oh," Megor answered. To be honest, he did not dare to be alone now. There were too many people who wanted to kill him along the way. He could only feel a little safer around Ren Xiaosu.
The relay station in Winston City was also more dilapidated than the one in Vaduz. Megor paid for the best rooms for him and Ren Xiaosu, but after entering, Ren Xiaosu could still smell a moldy smell. Ren Xiaosu also saw rat droppings on the floor. This room was obviously frequented by rats.
The quilt was full of holes, and the cups in the room were covered in dust. If you wanted to go to the toilet, you had to run 200 meters to the toilet in the backyard. The smell of the toilet was so strong that you couldn't even open your eyes.
It had to be said that the health conditions of the entire Wizard Nation were terrible. Although the guest houses in the Northwest were also dilapidated, they were not as bad as this.
This kind of city without a sewage system was really too far behind the Northwest.
Ren Xiaosu and Megor stayed on the first floor. At ten o 'clock at night, Ren Xiaosu and Megor quietly climbed out of the back window instead of going through the front door.
The relay station had wooden floors, and when someone walked through the corridor, it would make a creaking sound. If he and Megor left through the front door, the whole caravan would know that they had left.
But Ren Xiaosu did not know that about an hour after they left, someone tiptoed along the backyard and came to the window where he and Megor were staying.
Qian Weining sneaked in with his confidant, who was holding two thin nanmu tubes in his hand.
"Are you sure they're asleep?" Qian Weining asked in a low voice.
"Yes, our people have been watching the door for a long time. There's been no movement in the two rooms for an hour," the confidant said. "They must be asleep."
"That's good. Is the medicine ready?"
"Yes, Yao Bo just mixed it. The medicine in these two tubes is enough to make them sleep until tomorrow afternoon. We'll be long gone by then," the confidant said.
"Alright." Qian Weining smiled. "I trust you. Let's do it."
With that, the confidant lit the medicine in the nanmu tubes with a match. Then, he put his mouth on the other end of the nanmu tube and blew the smoke into Ren Xiaosu's room through the gap in the window.
The smoke did not have a pungent smell. Instead, it was fragrant. The people in the room only needed to breathe it once to quickly fall into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Qian Weining brought his people here for no other reason than to let Ren Xiaosu and Megor have a good sleep here and not follow the caravan anymore.
If Megor followed the caravan, they would be wiped out by the Tudors before they could even reach Ghent City.
Thinking of this, Qian Weining felt very angry. They clearly had a mission up north, but they hadn't even seen the target of the mission yet, and they were just taking the blame for someone else.
Then, the others would be fine, while they would suffer heavy losses. What was this?
After the confidant blew the smoke into the two rooms, Qian Weining and his confidant hid under the wall and waited quietly. He did not want anyone else to know about this, so he and his confidant had to do it themselves.
The weather in June was already very hot, and the nights were also stuffy. The mosquitoes in the backyard of the courier station were as big as coins, and Qian Weining and his confidant were bitten until their heads were full of blood bags.
Qian Weining asked, "How long will it take for the medicine to take effect?"
"It should have taken effect by now." The confidant said, "Sir, I'll go in and take a look."
"Okay, be careful," Qian Weining reminded him.
The confidant pushed open the window of the room and jumped in. However, as soon as he went in, he poked his head out again. "Sir, there's no one in the room!"
Qian Weining was shocked. He quickly jumped into the room to check, but found that no one had touched the bed in the room. It was obvious that they had quietly left the moment they entered the courier station.
The confidant ran to Megor's room to take a look, but found that Megor had disappeared as well.
Qian Weining immediately had a headache. Was it so difficult to get rid of Megor?
Ah?
"Sir, where do you think they could have gone?" The confidant asked doubtfully. "Megor doesn't know anyone from Winston's side."
"I know where they've gone." Qian Weining said coldly, "Didn't I tell you earlier that he's from the Norman family? He must have gone to exchange information with the Norman family's spy!"
"Then what should we do?" the confidant asked.
Qian Weining sighed and said, "Why don't we run away?"
