Chapter 281: The Inn is suspicious
As for the eyeballs that can be made into evil beads, except for the pair of kingfish taken away by the falcon, I will give all the rest to the water swallows. These eyeballs are brought to the black market and can definitely be sold for a good price.
Of course, in addition to the eyeballs, a gratuity was given. Shui Yan and Liba Shan have repeatedly told them that they must contact them first next time there is such a good thing.
After bidding farewell to the swordsman and the killer, Gao and I went to find a beautiful place to bury the kingfish and a few of its guards. Although we had a holiday with this kingfish, in some ways, they were iron-clad.
After doing this, it was dark. Gao and I walked through the winding alleys, and as soon as we looked up, we arrived at the Penglai Inn. Vermilion gates, golden lanterns, and bustling guests.
"Yo! Isn't this Miss Lu! Why are you here again? Ah, this handsome boy is also here! Hurry up, please come inside!"
The shopkeeper who was crooked in front of the counter saw us, raised his eyebrows, and shook his handkerchief as if he had seen his relatives, twisting his waist step by step, and walked out on his knees. She looked at me and Gao gradually leaving, and took my arm and walked inside.
"Tell my sister, what have you been doing in the past few months? "I wish the shopkeeper to stick it in my ear.
I recalled her words, not because the businessman's clever words warmed my heart, but because I remembered a person. "Actually, the two of us are looking for someone. "I quickly thought about what I was going to say next, and I was ready to say it without leaks.
"Oh, who are you looking for? I went to the black market to buy helpers. I wish the shopkeeper lowered his voice, his pretty face was closer to me, and the fragrance of fat powder rushed into my nose.
I turned my head to look at Gao Yuanli, who was silent, and what we said certainly did not escape his ears. Sure enough, he nodded at me, as if affirming what I was doing, and I was slightly stunned. He is, knows what I'm going to say?
However, I didn't think about it so much, so I hurriedly turned my head and whispered: "Looking for the wise and martial Qi Jiuniang Qi Da Master! Is she still in the Penglai Inn?"
"Qi is in charge?" Zhu shopkeeper was a little confused, "What are you looking for her?"
I hugged her arm back, and said with a look of "admiration and shyness": "Of course I look for her because I worship her, and I want to follow her in the saddle before and after......!"
As I spoke, I turned my head and glanced at Gao Yuanli again: "What about my husband, right? I heard that Qi Da is a righteous man and likes to recruit talents. So, we went forward. ”
The shopkeeper nodded clearly, but the next moment she squinted and asked, "Is it? Then why didn't you say it that day at the Penglai Inn? She stayed here for a whole day and a night, and you have time to say it." ”
"Well...... Isn't it because I'm thin-skinned and want to make a good impression in front of her that I missed the opportunity? Good sister, tell me which room Qi Da Boss is in!" I simply hugged Zhu Lan's waist and strangled it tightly.
She couldn't stand it and uncovered my "paws" and took the key from behind the counter: "You guy, do something stupid." When people are there, they twist and pinch when they are there, and they come back to entangle when they are gone. ”
"What? she's gone, gone, floating islands to the shallow sea outside Qizhi?" I couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Niang, I deliberately pretended to be a "fan girl" who admired Qi Jiuniang and vowed to follow Qi Jiuniang, just to find out which room Qi Jiuniang was in. Unexpectedly, in exchange for the news that Qi Jiuniang had left.
I take a deep breath to adjust my mood: I'm not angry, I'm not crazy......
After a few quick silent recitations, I finally stabilized my emotions so that they were not too different from Fang Cai, and of course, the disappointment on my face was palpable. I don't want to hide my disappointment, anyway, in Zhu Lan's opinion, I am disappointed that I "can't join Qi Dangjia immediately".
"Yes! Let's go!" Zhu Lan dangled the key in front of my eyes, "Then do you still live in the hotel?"
I tilted my head, twisted my eyebrows and thought about it, and decided to break the casserole and ask in the end: "It depends on the situation whether you live in the store or not." I really want to find her, I want to join the Qi family's caravan!"
"You sister-in-law, you're going to find shelter. The Qi family's caravan has a very different style of acting, and its methods are neat and ruthless, and ordinary people can't afford to provoke it, so it is indeed a good place to avoid trouble. However, it is not certain that you will not be able to enter it. Zhu Lan looked me up and down, and glanced at Gao Yuanli a few more times, "With your husband's skills, he should be fine." ”
Hearing this, I turned my face to look at Gao Yuanli, who was standing on the side with a long sword in his hand, and he turned his face unnaturally, and a suspicious red glow appeared at the base of his ears.
Then, the shopkeeper continued: "As for you, it's hard to say. Your small body, your little hands, tsk, and the vase that will only point to the three-legged cat kung fu at a glance, it is difficult to enter the Qi family caravan. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" I clasped my hands around my chest and glared at Zhu Lan unconvinced, "My martial arts are not good, but I cook well! Yue Yun's Yue family caravan is fully recognized!"
Zhu Lan's fingers loosened, and the keychain fell to the ground with a thud: "You, you actually stayed on Yue Yun's boat?
Seeing her so shocked, it dawned on me that I had said the wrong thing. Nima really wanted to bite off her tongue, and I was quickly thinking about how to explain it, only to hear Gao Yanli say lightly: "I haven't been to the Yue family's boat." I met in the fish house, and the two of us used to work in the fish house. ”
"What is that?" Zhu Lan picked up the key.
I didn't expect Gao Yuanli's reaction to be quite fast, and I couldn't help but cast a "saved" look at him, and then said: "The fish house is a restaurant that specializes in making fish to eat. Yue Yun likes to eat fish and has listened to it there for a while. ”
"I see. Zhu Lan nodded, "I'll just say that the Yue family has always been known for being disciplined and keeping promises, which is why although they have the unimpressive status of pirates, their business is even better than any other. It can be said that it is the number one rival of the Qi family's caravan. However, their merchant ships never allowed women. ”
I nodded again and again: "Zhu shopkeeper, now you can tell us where Qi Dang's house is, right?"
"Gotta get it, old lady, I'm convinced of you. Zhu Lan crossed her hands on her hips, she was charming and beautiful, and she was full of charm, "During the few months that you have been away from the Penglai Inn, there has been new news from the guests who have come to stay that the floating island will be stationed in a sparsely populated shallow sea off the coast outside Qizhi City. ”
Zhu Lan stretched out his hand and put his arm around my shoulder: "From Qizhi to there, it will take five days to ride a horse. Everyone rushed over there to get the opportunity to meet earlier. Qi is in charge of the family, and they are the same. ”
"Thank you. I shook her hand and smiled harmlessly.
