As the carriage jolted, they soon reached an inn, and as it was getting dark, they decided to stay and rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How many guest officers are sharp, or do you stay in the hotel?" As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Er greeted him warmly.
"Staying in the hotel" Qing Huan raised his eyes and looked at the name of the inn "Tingxuan Inn", Bai Cang followed behind them in white clothes, and he had already worn a weak crown to cover the tiger's ears.
When the shopkeeper saw Qing Huan's blue eyes, the white blue eyes and white hair, he thought they were strange people, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
As soon as you enter the hotel, you will feel a burst of warm fragrance to your nose, there is a cool breeze outside in early autumn, but the inside is unusually warm, the inn is divided into two floors, elegant and bright, a few snow-white pear flowers are inserted in various vases at the corner, which is particularly eye-catching.
A particularly charming and moving voice came, "A few guest officers, please come in, if you want to eat something, just say that the little woman is far away"
When everyone looked up, they saw a beautiful woman dressed in pale pink, with a butterfly hairpin on her head, a wisp of green silk hanging down on her chest, and her eyes were like autumn waves, which was very moving.
"This is the proprietress of our inn," Xiao Er said busily.
"The proprietress is polite," Qing Huan hurriedly said loudly, secretly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect to meet such a beautiful and moving proprietress in such a remote place on the outskirts of the city.
When everyone was seated, the proprietress poured hot wine herself, and a pair of snow-white green jade hands showed a shining light, which was very moving.
"You must not have dinner yet, the small shop is full of food, and the price is affordable"
"What is the name of the proprietress?" Bai Cang held a celadon wine glass in his hand, and a pair of deep blue pupils looked at the proprietress writhing like a water snake with a pair of inquiring meanings.
"Little Girl's Peach Heart" But seeing the innkeeper smiling charmingly, a pair of eyes are very seductive.
"I'm so hungry, Miss" Cui Wei looked at Qing Huan's dissatisfied voice, they only ate some dry food they brought with them all the way, they were already hungry, Dieyu nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Er, come with a roast chicken, four taels of beef, a plate of peanuts, and a few side dishes in season," Qing Huan hurriedly ordered.
Bai Cang smiled lightly when he heard this, he knew that Qing Huan liked to eat peanuts very much.
"Okay," Xiao Er enthusiastically agreed, and turned around to go to the back kitchen.
"Wait a minute, then give you a hot pot of pear wine," the proprietress commanded again.
Xiao Er paused slightly, and then said loudly, "Okay"
The proprietress turned her head to look at everyone and said sweetly, "It is the good season of early autumn, the pear blossoms are blooming, the pears are fruitful, and the wine is sweet and moisturizing the lungs, which is the signature wine of our store.
When everyone heard this, they were all very comfortable, thinking that this proprietress was really good at business.
"Thank you, boss," Qing Huan said loudly, a pair of blue eyes full of gratitude.
"This girl is very beautiful with blue eyes, just like this silver-haired son, but the two are strangers?" asked the proprietress with some envy and confusion.
"Miss, so you guys are really a match made in heaven, but I'm not the only one who said that," Cui Wei seized the opportunity and snickered again.
"Eat your meal" Qing Huan sandwiched a large piece of braised beef into her bowl, and then turned to the innkeeper and said, "Sister Taoxin has won the prize, I just suffer from a different disease, and I was born with blue eyes, as for him, he is a cultivator, so he was born with a backbone" Qing Huan definitely didn't want to expose Bai Cang's identity, so as not to make everyone suspicious.
"I see, you guys have a meal quickly, I will ask Xiao Er to go upstairs and arrange a few excellent guest rooms for you" Taoxin looked at Dieyu, who was silently on the side and was only eating, and smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Sister Taoxin" Qing Huan said gratefully, a pair of sky-blue eyes were extremely simple, and the opposite of her was a white cang, frowning and contemplating, and there was no smile from beginning to end.
"Very good, then I'll go upstairs first" The proprietress twisted her waist and went up to the second floor elegantly.
"This pear wine is really delicious, sweet and refreshing," Dieyu suddenly muttered at the wine glass, even if she followed her parents to open a tavern and taste the world's fine wines, she couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
Qing Huan took a sip, only felt that the fragrance was fragrant, and immediately echoed, "I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful wine in this remote place."
"What are you thinking?" Qing Huan saw that Bai Cang on the side did not move his chopsticks, but only looked at the wine glass fixedly and pondered, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's hurry as soon as possible after resting for the night" Bai Cang suddenly spoke, but he stared at Qing Huan and said such a sentence.
Qing Huan was shocked, but seeing that except for the two of her, everyone else was complacent, so she didn't ask.
When the group was full of food and drink, they saw that Tao Xin was already on the second floor and said with a light smile, "Guest officers come with me, the private room has been arranged."
"This room is for you to live" The first peach heart pulled Qinghuan over, pushed the door open, but saw that the furnishings were simple, and there was a peach blossom picture hanging on the wall, which was very delicate and bright.
Then there are butterfly jade, emerald wisps, white cang, lined up, fortunately, the room is very similar, but also convenient.
It was late at night, everyone had washed and rested in their respective rooms, and the second floor of the inn was already silent.
But a candlelight strolled softly up the stairs to the second floor, and stopped straight at the door of the innermost room.
"Come in," a cold and pleasant voice came from inside, and the figure outside the door pushed open the door and walked in quietly.
"What is the purpose of your coming here, you and I are each profitable, and we should have nothing to do with each other" Bai Cang raised his eyes and lit the candlelight in the room, and looked up at the charming face under the candlelight in his hand, which was the innkeeper's lady.
"I know that your mana is profound, and I don't dare to make a little fox demon, I just want to beg you for a phantom elixir" The peach heart exited, but it contained a begging meaning.
"Don't you dare to make a time, what you said don't dare to make a time is to pour them down with pear wine?" Bai Cang's voice was sharp, and a pair of blue eyes were like cold swords out of the sheath, looking at her with frost.
"Do you think I don't know? That wine doesn't work right away, but it can make people unconscious for days, I understood as soon as I took the glass," Bai Cang approached step by step, but stood with his hands in his hands, as if he didn't bother to look at her.
"Do you know why you don't stop it?, but you also hide your selfishness, knowing that my wine must be solved by spending the knot, do you also want to see someone's knot in their previous life?"
Bai Cang heard this, but he didn't say anything, he just clenched his fists, his expression darkened a little, and it took a long time before he said loudly, "Taoxin, why are you doing this?"
Taoxin smiled coldly and said, "After thinking about it, you also heard from my brother, I went down to the Phantom Mountain to have an affair with a mortal, and now I just want to save his life."
Bai Cang turned around to look at the still charming and moving peach heart, but she sighed in her heart, now she has been generous and slender, and she is no longer the shy and young fox girl she saw in the fox mound five hundred years ago.
