Chapter 370: Unlocking the bell requires tying the bell

The matter with the horse bandits was solved, all the hostages were rescued, and Xia Tan'er was found safe and sound, almost a complete victory. All the heavy burdens on everyone's hearts were suddenly lifted, and they happily returned to the city and returned to Linzhen before nightfall.

Because she was in a good mood, Xia Tan'er looked at the night market in the nearby town and felt that it was very lively.

"Someone is coming."

"master."

"Go ahead, except for those on duty, everyone can have a good time in the night market today."

"Thank you, Master."

"Go down."

"Yes, Master."

The men left happily. Xia Tan'er lifted the curtain of the carriage and took another look outside, then asked the coachman to go to the inn.

It wasn't that Xia Tan'er didn't want to go down and play together, it was just that she was too tired today and the two people in the carriage hadn't said a word since they found her until now. They each stayed in silence in the corner.

Forget about Dong Lingjiu, he has always been melancholic, so it's not strange to stay silent. But Feng Muchi, a talkative man, is like this, which is really wrong.

Xia Tan'er clearly knew why they were like this.

The person who tied the bell must also be untied, and some window paper must be pierced.

She also figured it out along the way, and she had to explain it clearly to the two of them. Otherwise, this thing would be like a barb in their hearts for a long time, which would be bad for all three of them. Not to mention that Feng Muchi still trusted her so much.

So it’s better to choose a day than to hit it, let’s do it today.

The carriage drove slowly until it stopped in front of the inn.

Feng Muchi jumped out of the carriage first and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he waited for Xia Tan'er where he was. Seeing Xia Tan'er getting ready to get off, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, although she remained silent as before.

"I'm hungry. Let's go have dinner first. Uncle Nine Emperors Feng Muchi, do you have anything else to do next?"

Both men shook their heads and fell silent again.

"Then let's eat together and talk about anything later."

The two nodded at the same time. Seeing Xia Tan'er take the first step, they both turned their heads and glanced at each other.

"Uncle Nine Emperors, what do you mean by Tan'er's words? Do you want to explain it to us two?"

"I have never thought through Tan'er's thoughts. She has always hidden such a big secret in her heart. It must be very hard for her to go to all the trouble to hide it from us."

Dong Lingjiu felt more distressed than confused.

Thinking of how Xia Tan'er had tried all kinds of ways to hide this secret these days, even so, whenever she met someone who needed to save her life, even if there was a possibility of being exposed, she would still take out the secret inside without hesitation. Something that can cure illnesses and save lives.

This shows how gentle Xia Tan'er's heart is.

"When she wants to say something, she will say it naturally. There is no need to force her."

"I feel the same way. It is the responsibility of us two grown men to protect Tan'er. Once the secret of the wrist is leaked, I'm afraid Tan'er will not be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life."

Feng Muchi restrained his past playfulness and looked serious.

"To be honest, Uncle Nine Emperors, based on the past performance of you and me, there is a reason why Tan'er didn't tell us. To blame us for what we did to her, we really can't afford Tan'er's trust."

One ignored Xia Tan'er in front of everyone, and the other tried his best to kill Xia Tan'er. If they were Xia Tan'er, how could they tell them such a big secret.
