The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1057 - 648: Disguise and Camouflage (Third Update)

Chapter 1057: Chapter 648: Disguise and Camouflage (Third Update)

An Ning hesitated for a moment.

She also felt that rushing in impulsively wouldn’t solve anything.

It was better to settle everything first and then go once she was prepared.

After figuring it out, An Ning returned to the inn with Zhang Wenhe.

In the room, although Yan Jinyao was already lying on the bed, she hadn’t fallen asleep.

Seeing An Ning return, she quickly got up and said, "Boss."

"Did I wake you up?"

"No, I haven’t slept at all." Yan Jinyao said, putting on a coat as she rose.

The room had a faint candlelight.

Yan Jinyao went to make the candlelight brighter.

"How is it? What’s going on in Changmen County?" Yan Jinyao asked.

An Ning sat at the room’s dining table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "It’s an epidemic."

"No wonder." Yan Jinyao felt surprised but then relieved, "An epidemic certainly justifies sealing the city. But why not let people know? Is it to avoid causing panic?"

"It should be." An Ning nodded.

She had been deep in thought on the way back.

She was pondering.

Could Changmen County’s situation be the same as last time in Yuzhou City?!

Has the epidemic in Changmen County been reported to the imperial court, or are the people inside being treated or just waiting to die?!

"Tomorrow morning, you and Uncle Zhang will take Youyou to Wen County first." An Ning suddenly said.

"And you, are you not coming with us?" Yan Jinyao asked, somewhat excitedly.

"I’m going to Changmen County tomorrow to see the epidemic situation inside."

"Boss, I know your medical skills are excellent, but the epidemic is contagious. What if you get infected? If the epidemic is uncontrollable, people might die or fall into a coma. How will you treat yourself?!" Yan Jinyao grew more and more fearful.

"It’s not that exaggerated!" An Ning laughed, "An epidemic depends on one’s constitution. Generally, only those with weak health catch colds easily and get sick."

"But..."

"A healer’s compassion can’t ignore and overlook." An Ning interrupted Yan Jinyao’s words, her tone determined.

She suspected today upon hearing that Changmen County’s people weren’t coming out, that there might be an infectious disease inside the county.

In ancient times, with scarce medical aid, even a slightly severe flu could wipe out a whole city.

Only by sealing the city gates can the damage be minimized.

Therefore, An Ning simply wanted to confirm tonight. If the city was sealed due to disease, she couldn’t ignore it, but if it was for other reasons, she certainly wouldn’t meddle and cause trouble for herself.

...

The next day.

An Ning sent An Youyou and the others off.

An Youyou looked at An Ning longingly, "I don’t have a father, you can’t let me lose my mother too!"

An Ning couldn’t help but laugh, "Rest assured, I won’t let you become an orphan! You must be good and listen to Aunt Yao, understood?"

"And you must come to see me soon. I miss you terribly, wah wah wah..." Things were fine until then.

Upon speaking, An Youyou burst into tears.

And her crying came fiercely.

An Ning felt somewhat speechless, "Alright, I’ll finish my tasks and come to meet you in Wen County immediately."

An Youyou wiped her tears and snot, nodding.

An Ning turned to Yan Jinyao, instructing, "I’m entrusting Youyou to you, don’t let her overeat when you reach Wen County!"

"...wah wah wah, you don’t want me and you won’t let me eat meat..." As soon as An Youyou heard, she cried even harder.

An Ning was truly speechless.

She was seriously wondering whether meat was more important to An Youyou than she was!

An Ning didn’t pay further attention to An Youyou and said to Yan Jinyao, "When you reach Wen County, check out the house first. If it’s appropriate, feel free to buy it without consulting me. When I return, we’ll focus on the shop; other matters shouldn’t be delayed."

"Alright." Yan Jinyao nodded, "Boss, are you sure you don’t want Uncle Zhang to accompany you? It would be better if he stayed with you, otherwise, I won’t be reassured."

"It’s fine for Uncle Zhang to be with you, bringing Guan Yu is enough for me."

Guan Yu is also a top expert, one of the masters Zhang Wenhe helped her find in the martial world.

Originally, she planned to go alone.

Since it’s an infectious disease, the fewer people involved, the better.

But she was uncertain whether Changmen County’s epidemic lockdown was ordered by the imperial court or if it was the local official’s actions. If it was the latter due to selfishness for their official position, she might face danger, so having someone along ensured more safety.

"Alright, let’s go. I’ll come back and meet up with you once I’m done." An Ning urged them not to delay further and step on the road.

"Mother, please come back! Come back soon!" An Youyou shouted loudly, still with tears in her eyes.

"Surely, I’ll return soon." An Ning nodded and waved towards An Youyou.

Watching An Youyou rest her little head, staring at her with reluctance.

Her eyes were still somewhat red.

An Youyou, this little chubby girl, had the skill to get on her nerves every day, yet she would feel particularly attached when it was time to part.

She looked at the direction of the departing carriage for a long time before retracting her gaze.

An Ning turned to Guan Yu and said, "Wait for me a moment, I’m going to change clothes and disguise, then we’ll head to Changmen County."

"Yes." Guan Yu said respectfully.

An Ning went upstairs back to her room.

She changed into the set of men’s clothing she had prepared last night, put on a human skin mask, and even added a beard to herself.

She looked at herself in the copper mirror.

Except being somewhat petite, she didn’t differ much from a man.

Outside, a male appearance is more convenient and avoids many troubles.

And her appearance...

Though unlikely to encounter high officials in places like Changmen County, and generally aren’t recognized, she still wanted to avoid causing trouble in case someone did recognize her.

Once everything was ready.

An Ning went downstairs.

Walking to Guan Yu, who didn’t recognize her at all.

Looking at An Ning with a slightly bewildered expression, he examined her again and again.

Wondering that the inn clearly only had their group staying, since when did another male guest arrive.

"It’s me." An Ning said, somewhat speechless.

Guan Yu heard the familiar voice and took a while to react, "Miss..."

"From now on, call me Young Master." An Ning instructed him to change her title.

At the same time, she adjusted her throat to produce a husky, deep voice.

"Yes, Young Master." Guan Yu promptly responded respectfully, couldn’t help but exclaim, "I really couldn’t tell, your voice transformation makes you even more like a man. It’s better than all Disguise Techniques I’ve seen in the Jianghu!"

Guan Yu was merely twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Having lost both parents from a young age, he joined a Jianghu Sect and apprenticed, heard to have fought without regard for brotherly ties with another disciple, leading both to be expelled from the sect, later meeting Zhang Wenhe, who brought him to An Ning’s side, providing him a stable settlement.

Even if, currently hasn’t been fully settled yet.
