The road to counterattack of the woman who traveled through time and space

Chapter 245 There Must Be a Secret Passage

"Which families are there and how many people are there?" Mu Ruixi asked anxiously.

The two soldiers lowered their heads and thought for a moment, then said to Mu Ruixi, "There are only three families and only seven people!"

"Yes, yes, the owner of this shop is a family, with servants, stewards, and cooks."

"The last one is selling food. Then there's the hunter couple."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and Mu Ruixi nodded.

The seven people from those three families are very likely to be plotting something bad in Shahe Town.

Mu Ruixi waved to the two soldiers and said, "Stand back."

"Since there is no problem with the two spies we sent out, then there must be something wrong with these seven people in Shahe Town." Wang Bo said in a deep voice after waiting for the soldiers to leave.

Mu Ruixi nodded: "I think so too, and Mr. Liu thinks so too."

"Mu Ruixi, what do you think? How could they be the murderer?" At this time, Zhang Shuhe spoke.

Mu Ruixi simply put the blame on Wang Bo. She felt that Zhang Shuhe was someone who would ask a lot of questions.

Mu Ruixi couldn't bear it anymore and decided to shut up.

Wang Bo heard the hidden meaning in Mu Ruixi's words. It was obvious that he wanted to give Zhang Shuhe an answer.

But Wang Bo couldn't refuse. After all, Zhang Shuhe was Prime Minister Liu's daughter. He couldn't ignore this matter like a princess, so Wang Bo said, "Miss Liu, do you remember what happened when we first arrived in Shahe Town?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Shuhe asked in confusion, then responded.

Wang Bo nodded and said, "That's right. When we first arrived in Shahe Town, we caused quite a stir. We moved a lot of firewood and even demolished people's houses. Don't you agree?"

Zhang Shuhe nodded slightly and let Wang Bo continue.

Wang Bo gave a bitter laugh and continued, "If you were from Shahe Town, what would you do? After all, we are also government officials of Shahe Town."

Zhang Shuhe pondered for a moment and then said, "Of course I have to have a fight with them. Why would they tear down someone's house for no reason?"

"That's right! That's the problem." Wang Bo applauded.

Zhang Shuhe has too many questions, but that doesn't mean she is a fool.

"So that's how it is. These people disappeared from Shahe Town without even looking at us." Zhang Shuhe suddenly realized.

After hearing what Wang Bo said, everyone present felt relieved.

At this moment, Sun Hai, the commander of the Cavalry Battalion, turned around and asked Mu Ruixi, "Princess, since they all disappeared in Shahe Town, how can we catch them?"

Mu Ruixi had thought of this a long time ago. As the saying goes, cut the grass at its roots. If they let it go today, they will definitely come back in the future.

Mu Ruixi whispered, "People from Shahe Town can disappear out of thin air. This means there must be a secret passage in Shahe Town."

"I'll go over and take a look." Sun Hai said quickly.

Mu Ruixi shrugged. "That won't work. Even if you find the secret passage, how can we catch them? We can't stay in Shahe Town. Once we leave, they will be back soon."

When Sun Hai heard Mu Ruixi say this, he knew what to do and hurriedly walked back.

Mu Ruixi racked her brains, but felt like her brain had short-circuited and she couldn't find a good way to solve the problem.

At this moment, Shi'an suddenly appeared in front of Mu Ruixi with a faint smile on his face, "What's the matter? You can't even handle such a simple thing?"

Mu Ruixi glared at Shi'an. If she was not Shi'an's opponent, she really wanted to slap Shi'an in the face.

"I wonder if the Imperial Master has any method to catch all those bandits in one fell swoop?" Wang Bo looked at Shi'an, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shian sneered: "This is not easy, you can leave here."

"Will everything be fine if we leave here?" Wang Bo frowned and thought for a while, but still didn't understand what was going on with this university scholar.

When Mu Ruixi heard this, her eyes lit up, "Yes, we just need to go out."

Wang Bo couldn't figure it out and looked at Mu Ruixi and Shi'an with embarrassment.

Mu Ruixi didn't hide it and said directly: "Oh, Mr. Wang, I thought you were quite smart before, why are you so confused this time?"

Wang Bo forced a smile and said, "Princess, I really don't understand this matter."

"Shi'an said that even if we leave, they will come back. They have stayed in this place for so long, they will not give up."

"Yes, if they can't get what they are looking for, they will come here immediately after we leave." Wang Bo agreed.

Mu Ruixi continued, "Yes, if we want to catch them, we can't leave. Lord Wang, don't you know this?"

Shi'an saw Mu Ruixi's smug look and the corners of his mouth twitched, but Mu Ruixi saw it.

Mu Ruixi was so happy that she forgot that Shi'an was her idea. She turned her face away embarrassedly.

After hearing Mu Ruixi's words, Wang Bo frowned and thought for a long time before he suddenly realized.

It is easy to say. Wang Bo only needs to lead the officials and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion to set off from Shahe Town in a dignified manner.

Let them think they are gone, but others attack at this time, leaving them defenseless.

Once the people from the Cavalry Battalion catch up with them, they will not be able to escape.

"It's indeed a good idea. In that case, I will take them away this afternoon. But do you want to stay?" Wang Bo suddenly thought of something.

Mu Ruixi immediately spoke up: "Mr. Liu, you two are already of high status now. If you continue to stay here, people will inevitably notice something. Why don't we stay here?"

"But..." Wang Bo hesitated to speak, but Mu Ruixi looked hesitant.

Zhang Shuhe directly blocked Wang Bo's words and said, "Oh, don't bother talking about it. We are not good-looking. Compared with your soldiers, we are far behind."

Wang Bo felt a little embarrassed when Zhang Shuhe said this so bluntly. "Ahem, but the princess is a noble person. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to explain to the Eighth Prince."

Mu Ruixi waved her hand. "Don't worry, I'm not a pushover either. Those people can't hurt us at all. What's more, we have shadow guards around us."

Wang Bo also knew that these two young ladies, a university scholar, and Gao Ting, the disobedient little brat, were determined to stay.

However, Wang Bo felt much more at ease when he thought about the shadow guard's presence.

But he had made up his mind not to rush on the journey, and when he came back, he would make sure Sun Hai was faster.
