They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 311 Encountering a Thief

I'm only temporarily tasked with monitoring; if anything unusual happens, I'll take immediate action.

But apart from the people assigned above who were monitoring them.

As they entered the city, they were also preyed upon by various petty thieves.

They each requested a room, and that evening they all gathered in Qi Zeyun's room for a meeting.

Her room was the largest, just big enough to accommodate them all.

The group sat around the large round table, completely oblivious to the tea and jokes they were used to.

Everyone was listening to Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan analyze the situation in their country.

Logically speaking, the men should stay away; matters of state are none of their concern.

But in the end, they were allowed to stay. When it came to the crucial points, they were even able to offer their own ideas and express their own opinions.

“It seems that my sister’s and my power are being eroded by King Hui.”

"Hey, wait a minute? Isn't Your Majesty of Xiao Rong just the two of you? Then where did this Prince Hui come from?"

Wu Ziyan was completely baffled. This was a new force, and she hadn't done any background checks on it. She was panicking!

"She is the daughter of my mother's younger sister, so my sister and I have to call her 'elder sister'."

"Wait, does that mean your aunt's children are older than yours? And you, the eldest sister, want to sit on the throne?"

"She hid it so well before, but now that she sees Qi Zexuan and me both dead, she's starting to show her true colors!"

The two siblings spoke of Prince Hui with gritted teeth.

It seems they really didn't expect her to be the bad guy behind the scenes.

"Aren't we worried about being overheard talking about these things here?"

"There might be more than one ear, but don't worry, they won't escape."

The two of them had separated earlier to confirm whether their forces had submitted to King Hui.

But they've followed them for so many years, how could they easily turn against them?

Although some defected along the way, the core power was still in the hands of the two of them.

Sure enough, the people they sent to eavesdrop outside were killed before they could even hear anything.

However, they failed to notice the petty thieves on the third route.

These are pickpockets who are used to stealing from this area, and some patrol officers even turn a blind eye to them.

Qi Zexuan never expected that they would be the ones stealing from them.

After discussing the matter, they each returned to their own rooms.

Despite remaining vigilant, I inexplicably fell into a deep sleep in the end.

When I woke up the next morning, good heavens, all the valuable packages and my personal identification card in the room were gone.

That's truly something, done without anyone noticing.

Those who stole the goods took only the gold and silver from the bag.

All the remaining useless documents were thrown into the alley.

In the morning, there are people specifically responsible for cleaning the streets, and they just sweep it away as garbage.

They found some things missing from each room early in the morning, and Wu Ziyan rummaged through the packages.

Their identity cards were all gone. Losing some money wasn't a big deal, but those documents were extremely important.

With a worried look on her face, Qi Zeyun knocked on the door of the next room and looked at her.

"Boss Qi, we are truly at a loss now. We could have used the name of the Wu Dynasty delegation to go directly to the main city."

"Now look what's happened, all our identity cards and name tags have been lost overnight!"

Hearing this, Qi Zeyun's face darkened. I thought only the business in my room had been robbed.

I never expected that even such an important document would be lost.

It seems we have to stay here for now and can't go to the main city.

For now, all we can do is go out and ask their subordinates for help to find any name cards or documents that haven't been damaged yet!

"Who dared to steal from us? Now that I've caught him, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

Qi Zexuan also came out of the room, cursing.

It seems that none of them escaped unscathed, and most importantly, they slept soundly last night.

Several people even had some pleasant dreams.

"Your country's drug technology is truly advanced! It can be done without leaving any trace. I'm truly impressed!"

“This must have been premeditated, a gang crime. It wouldn’t be possible for a petty thief to steal from each of us.”

"What are you waiting for? Go out and find them, and get those things back quickly! Otherwise, we can still head back now."

Leaving a foreign country without a name tag is considered illegal immigration, and if caught, the offender will be deported.

The most serious cases could be punished with the death penalty.

At this point, Wu Ziyan could only look to Changsun Boyou, hoping that they could at least use their skills to make them look like locals.

Changsun Boyu also looked troubled: "We're almost out of materials. I'll go out with Yue Rong to buy some later."

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours; that's exactly the situation they're in now.

However, it is rather dangerous to let two men go out shopping in a foreign country.

Fortunately, Changsun Bo was tall and slender, and resembled a woman.

But in Wu Ziyan's eyes, these two were walking targets. They were so good-looking, what if someone took a liking to them?

"Then you two should bring your face masks when you go out, just in case, since you're in a foreign country."

"Is the boss worried about the two of us?"

"I'm worried, so worried."

But following him would be of no use; instead, he would only become a burden to both of them.

However, Chu Yu had to protect Qi Zeyun and the other person's safety, so she couldn't leave at all.

The two wore masks, which was a slight disguise, but their demeanor was truly otherworldly.

Wu Ziyan watched them leave from the doorway, and I still felt a little uneasy.

Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun are going out again today.

Since they couldn't return to the main city anytime soon, they still needed to contact their other scattered forces.

The roles will still be assigned to Chu Yu, Qi Zexuan, and Qi Zeyun, but actually, one person can also play the role.

Wu Ziyan waited for them at the post station, but during the wait, he was filled with anxiety.

I'm always worried that something bad is going to happen.

Chu Qiu stood beside her, his eyes filled with vigilance, and most importantly, they were not disguised at all.

Almost every time someone passes by while they eat, they glance at them.

Perhaps it's because they are too fair-skinned, or perhaps they are more refined-looking than us.

"Chu Qiu, don't stand there, you're too conspicuous."

He sat down, and even while sitting down, his hand almost never left his sword.

Wu Ziyan rested her chin on her hands: "If I had known, the two of us should have gone out. That list of theirs..."

Are you worried about the two of them?

“This is a foreign country. Although the language is spoken in this city on the border between the two countries, Fang Yuerong knows a little bit.”

"But, after all, they are two men, and Xiao Rong's situation has become so chaotic."
