Pei Qian had the upper hand. With his ruthless moves, he already had complete control of the entire refugee camp! As long as he completed his mission safely, he would naturally be rewarded when he returned!

As for Du Yuanyi’s Du family…

“But why does Du Yuanyi have to do that?! He’s the Third Prince’s cousin!” Lin Suisui knew a little about the relationships in the capital.

Didn’t they say that they were cousins?!

Since they were cousins, they were the Third Prince’s backers! No matter how ruthless the Third Prince was, he wouldn’t really hurt his own people!

“The Third Princess Consort is from the Lu family, the same family the Empress Dowager is from! Moreover, the Third Prince and the Third Princess Consort are deeply in love. They’ve been married for more than two years. Although the Third Princess Consort hasn’t had a child until now, the Third Prince doesn’t have any concubines.”

Lu Ze’s tone was very carefree. In this quiet carriage, Lin Suisui actually heard a hint of coldness in his voice, making her hair stand on end.

The information revealed from his words was too complicated and terrifying!

“Let’s sleep!” Lin Suisui sighed. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand these things, but she didn’t want to think too much about it.

At least for now, the two of them had temporarily escaped from that cage, that battlefield, and that troublesome place! Now, they were Gu Erlang and Liu Niang, who were heading to the north.

As long as they didn’t blow their cover, anything else…

For the time being, they wanted to enjoy some peace!

Pei Qian wasn’t joking when he said that they would set off the next day. Although he had only informed them in the morning, there was no lack of smart people in the refugee camp. Many people knew about yesterday’s incident and had packed up early!

Although the unprepared people were in a hurry, they didn’t miss the time to set off. With Pei Qian’s order, the people from the refugee camp set off north again.

After they traveled north for a few more days, it was already impossible to go out to look for wild vegetables where they were stationed! Although the forest beside the camp was verdant, it was impossible to obtain a full harvest like before!

Just as everyone in the refugee camp was lamenting, Pei Qian ordered someone to send another piece of news.

They would probably pass by a large town tomorrow and stay there for a day. If there was anything they needed to add, they could buy it in the town.

This news was good news for many people in the refugee camp!

Most of the towns in the north were connected to trade routes. Basically, they could buy everything they needed in the town, such as food and warm clothes to ward off the cold!

There were many smart people in the refugee camp. At this point, as long as one wasn’t stupid or poor, they should know what was most important now.

What was most important now wasn’t scrimping or giving birth, but protecting the people in the family as much as possible!

If the people were gone, what use would the money have?!

Therefore, on the second day after they set up camp in the suburbs, many refugees entered the city early in the morning and tried to buy as many necessities as possible.

Although Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t set off for the city too early, they weren’t very late either. They entered the city just in time for brunch.

They actually didn’t lack anything, but thinking of what Lu Ze had told her, Lin Suisui decided to be more prepared. She wanted to buy two fur coats.

And shoes!

Shoes couldn’t be ignored!

Little White was sealed in the basket on Lu Ze’s back. When it heard the commotion outside, it wanted to poke its head out a few times, but Lin Suisui quickly pressed it back.

She didn’t dare to leave this little fellow alone now. If anything happened, it would be too late for her to regret it.

The two of them shopped at a few clothing shops, where they bought the boots and clothes they wanted. When they came out, Lin Suisui tugged at Lu Ze’s arm nervously.

Before she could speak, Lu Ze nodded at her knowingly, signaling to her that he already knew. The two men behind them had been behind them for a while.

“Are we going back now?!”

Lin Suisui asked Lu Ze in a low voice. They had already bought what they needed. It was fine to go back now.

“Didn’t you think that the roasted chicken in the restaurant we just ate tasted good? Why don’t we go back and buy a few more?!” Lu Ze didn’t agree to her suggestion. Instead, he pulled Lin Suisui in the direction of the restaurant where they had lunch previously.

Although Lin Suisui didn’t know why Lu Ze had arranged this, she didn’t ask further. She followed behind Lu Ze obediently and temporarily forgot about the people following them.

“Wait for me in the room later.” Lu Ze protected Lin Suisui and instructed her as he walked forward, “If I don’t come back, don’t open the door for anyone.”

Lin Suisui nodded. She understood that Lu Ze was planning to go out and catch those stalkers.

Lu Ze pulled Lin Suisui back to the restaurant. Under the attentive reception of the owner, he sent Lin Suisui to the private room on the second floor. At the same time, he watched as the waiter served tea and snacks before letting Little White out of the basket. After giving Lin Suisui a few more instructions, he turned around and left the private room with the basket on his back.

Lu Ze didn’t hide after he entered or left this restaurant.

Therefore, when he went out alone, he naturally didn’t escape the surveillance of those people. One of the stalkers stayed behind to monitor this restaurant, and the other stalkers chased after Lu Ze.

Lu Ze walked unhurriedly. He first entered a shop and chose some snacks and fruits. Then, he asked the shopkeeper to wrap them up. Next, he went to a condiment shop and bought some condiments.

When he passed by the blacksmith shop, Lu Ze seemed to have taken a fancy to a short knife inside. He stood at the entrance of the shop and exchanged pleasantries with the boss for a while before buying a short knife. He also chose a small medicinal pallas. After leaving the blacksmith shop, he continued to walk forward.

The town wasn’t big, and the street filled with shops wasn’t long. Before long, Lu Ze turned left and entered a quiet alley.

When the stalkers, who had been quietly following behind Lu Ze, saw him turn to the side, they couldn’t help but panic. Afraid that they would lose him, they quickly caught up with him.

However, when they went in, they were shocked to discover that Lu Ze had disappeared from the long alley.

Where was he?!
