Chapter 295 How much did they give? I'll give double!
The man in black stepped forward cautiously, took the box full of gold, opened it, took out an ingot at random and took a bite. After confirming that it was genuine gold,
He laughed triumphantly:

"If you don't believe me, go check it out. I, Wen Tianba, will never change my name or surname. People in Jianghu call me Master Wuhen, who walks without leaving any trace on the snow!"

Yun Shu: “…”

Although the current situation is really inappropriate, she still couldn't help but ask:
"Did you learn this name from Tiansheng Weekly?"

"how do you know?"

The man in black asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized:
"By the way, you are the one who runs Tiansheng Weekly, and you also wrote many of the stories in it."

"So you are really a gangster?"

The man opposite, who named himself "Mr. Wuhen", seemed too unreliable.

Yun Shu slowly frowned:
"Who told you to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Tang family to threaten me?"

"Your Highness, what you asked is really interesting."

The man in black sneered:

“I thought Your Highness could write those wonderful stories about the underworld, or at least understand the underworld.

In our line of work, once we receive an order from a customer, how can we just sell him out right away? "

"How much silver did they give you?"

Yun Shu casually took out a stack of banknotes:
"I'll give you double the amount."

"cough!"

With a box of gold in his arms, the man in black couldn't help but sway his gaze along with the swaying of the stack of silver bills in Yun Shu's hand:

"We are the most moral people in the underworld. If we have a precedent of betraying a customer, it will be difficult to take on such a job again.

If Your Highness really wants to know, you need to add a little more."

"three times."

Yun Shu threw all the banknotes in his hand away, and said in a light tone:
“Don’t be too greedy.”

"I know this. You can only make as much money as you can. Being too greedy will only lead you into the abyss!"

He had listened to every story in Tiansheng Weekly without missing a single one.

He picked up all the banknotes scattered on the ground and put them in his arms.
The man in black took out another envelope and threw it into Yun Shu's hand with his cleverness:
"Everything I know is here. As for Miss Tang..."

He turned around and shouted into the dilapidated temple,
The window facing Yunshu was quickly and roughly pushed open from the inside.

Another man in a black nightgown grabbed Tang Xinhua's arm and pulled her to the window.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Tang Xinhua, whose hands were tied and mouth was blocked, looked flustered when she saw Yun Shu.

She struggled to make a sound, as if she wanted to say something to Yun Shu.
But it could only make a series of humming sounds, and then the window was slammed shut again.

"How is it? I didn't lie, did I?"

The man in black raised his head:
"As long as Your Highness lets me go now, my people will naturally release Miss Tang in two sticks of incense!"

"You left with the gold and left your men here. It's obvious that you don't care about their lives.

How do I know that they won't hurt my people after you leave?"

"It's very simple."

The man in black patted the box in his arms:

"The reason why they are willing to stay here regardless of life or death is because they can no longer survive.

And I promised them that I would give some of the gold to their families.

In other words, they are dying for their families. You are the princess, and the young lady tied up inside is your cousin.

It would be fine if the person was innocent. Your Highness is kind and righteous. Considering that I have actually helped Your Highness, there is no need to go to such great lengths to retaliate against their family members.

But if something really happened to Miss Tang, it is possible that His Highness would be so angry that corpses would float thousands of miles away.
Their families will naturally not be able to escape by then."

He raised his chin and motioned Yun Shu to look at the envelope in her hand:
"I think Your Highness should also know that even if it is not us today, it will be someone else.

But others may not prepare everything that His Highness wants as thoughtfully as I do."

What does she want?

Yun Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and opened the envelope in his hand.

On the other side, the man in black saw that Yun Shu did not say anything to stop him, so he held the box and walked a little further.

After confirming that Yun Shu really wasn't looking at him, he quickly used his Qinggong skills and ran away.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is barely worthy of the title he gave himself, "Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace".

……

It must be said that the people the eldest prince found this time were unreliable in various ways.
But he unexpectedly kept his promise.

After two incense sticks, the men in the ruined temple put down the knife on Tang Xinhua's neck without even needing Yun Shu to remind them.

He walked out of the dilapidated temple and stood there without any resistance, waiting to be caught.

The reserve Dragon Shadow Guards who had been lurking in the dark before now really wanted to come forward and capture him.

But before they could get close, Yun Shu stopped them:

"Don't go near them, they've been in contact with smallpox patients."

smallpox?

The two reserve Dragon Shadow Guards' expressions changed.
If this is true, then Miss Tang is...

The two men hurriedly tried to apologize, but Yun Shu had no time to deal with them. He simply dismounted from his horse and headed towards the ruined temple.

"Your Highness!"

When the usually calm Ah Ku showed up this time, his tone fluctuated a little:

"Your Highness must not take any risks."

"I am wearing specially made gloves with a veil, so it's okay."

Although there is no smallpox in modern times, Yunshu has seen similar highly contagious diseases.
She knew how this thing was transmitted, so after taking proper precautions, she no longer felt that smallpox was so scary.

But the Dragon Shadow Guard’s first priority is to protect her absolute safety.

Seeing that Yunshu insisted on going into the ruined temple to save people, Ah Ku silently took out a mask and put it on his face:
"I will go and bring Miss Tang out right away."

Yun Shu: “…”

What a solid and tightly fitting copper mask!
She covered herself more tightly than she did, so there was really no problem in letting him go.

Yun Shu's mouth twitched, and he simply took off his gloves and handed them to him:

"That's all, go ahead."

"Yes."

As long as Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess does not take any risks herself, everything will be fine.

Ah Ku put on his gloves and entered the ruined temple. As expected, he saw two figures tied together under a pillar.
One of them is Tang Xinhua, and the other one...

There were still obvious traces of smallpox on his face that had not yet faded.
