Zhao Renjie and the others sat down to eat breakfast, and set off to Yangzhou, where the smiling Yan Luo walked with them all the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info came to the gate of Yangzhou City, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate stopped the four of them.

"Where did you come from? Is there a pass? The leader asked.

"What? Need a pass to get into town? Which rule is this? Zhao Yu asked.

"Recently, the Yangzhou area is not peaceful, there are bandits infested, the prefect has set a rule, all in and out of Yangzhou City, all checked." The leading officer explained.

Zhao Renjie listened to it and understood in his heart that this was a closed door given to him by the Yangzhou prefect.

"This official, a few of us are traders, we just came from other places, I don't know the situation in Yangzhou, please be accommodating, there is a bit of broken silver here, brothers buy a pot of wine to drink." Zhao Renjie stepped forward and said, and gave two taels of silver.

"Count your senses, let's go in!" The leader took the silver, glanced at Zhao Renjie, and said lightly.

Zhao Renjie and the four entered Yangzhou City, wandering around the street for a while, Yangzhou City, which was lively and prosperous in the past, has now become a miasma. Those scoundrels harassed the common people everywhere, and the common people did not dare to do business on the streets during the day. The shops on both sides of the street are either closed, while others are deserted.

"Uncle Shi, should we find an inn to settle down first?" Zhao Renjie asked the smiling Yan Luo beside him.

"Alright! If you're new to the city and don't understand the situation, it's better to be careful. Smiling Yama said.

The four of them came to the most prosperous crossroads, and saw that a "Xinglong Inn" was doing brisk business, so they walked in.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Zhao Renjie and others coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "A few guest officers, are you going to stay in the hotel or not?" ”

"Of course, it's a storekeeper, find two clean and spacious rooms, we have to stay for a few days." Smiling Yama said.

"Great! Xibao, take the guests upstairs to the private room, brew the best Longjing tea, and don't wait for a few guest officials. Hello, lead the horses to the backyard to feed. After the shopkeeper finished his instructions, he was busy entertaining the other guests.

"Uncle Shi, I have a hunch that there is something wrong with this inn." Zhao Renjie said.

"What's going on? Do you think the shopkeeper is suspicious? Smiling Yama asked.

"I can't tell. It's just that the business of other shops in Yangzhou is cold, and they dare not open the door, but this inn is doing business with great fanfare, and the business is very good, and those scoundrels do not dare to harass, there must be a problem with the shopkeeper here, maybe it is the master with a background. Zhao Renjie said.

"The young master is right, I don't feel right either." Zhao Yu said.

"Everyone should eat, sleep when they should sleep, don't reveal their identity, with me, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods don't dare to mess around." Smiling Yama said.

There is a smiling Yan Luo pressing the formation, of course Zhao Renjie is relieved, but he still has an extra heart and tells Zhao Yu to pay attention to the horses in the backyard.

"A few guest officers, I've kept you waiting, this is the best Longjing tea, just brewed, please taste it." Xibao came up with tea and said with a smile.

"Man, you sit down for a drink, too, I want to ask you about someone." Smiling Yama said.

Xibao didn't dare to look at the sharp eyes of the smiling Yama, and said, "Drink!" I am a subordinate, and I dare not be lazy. ”

"How about a cup of tea? And don't waste time. The smiling Yama said, and grabbed Xibao's wrist.

Xibao wanted to break free, but it took a lot of effort, and the smiling Yan Luo let go of his hand, and Xibao fell on all fours.

Zhao Renjie didn't know what the smiling Yan Luo was doing this? But he believes that an old-timer who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades must have his reason.

Ying'er was cautious, and after Xibao left, she used a silver needle to test the poison and make sure that there was no problem, so everyone slowly tasted the tea.

After drinking tea, Xibao brought food again, and Ying'er took the opportunity to test the poison again.

Everyone was full of food and drink, and the smiling Yan Luo whispered to Zhao Renjie and the others: "In the second half of the night, everyone should be smart and beware of sneak attacks." ”

"Uncle Shi, are the four of us living in the same room?" Ying'er asked.

"No need, the three of you live in one room, I like to be quiet and live in one room." Smiling Yama said.

Zhao Renjie knew what Smiling Yan Luo was thinking, and he completely agreed with this arrangement.

In the evening, the smiling Yan Luo went to the room early to rest, and Zhao Renjie discussed it with Ying'er and Zhao Yu and decided to take turns on duty.

At ten o'clock in the evening, another group of people came to the inn, dressed in rivers and lakes, with a sword at his waist, led by a bearded man with a scar on his face.

"Who is this man? He is like the Scarface of the Four Seas Inn, but Scarface is dead, will he be a twin brother again? Impossible! Physiognomy can be similar, but this scar is real, and it can't be exactly the same. Zhao Renjie suspected that Scarface was not dead.

"Otherwise, I'll go over and say hello and see if he recognizes us." Zhao Yu said,

Zhao Renjie felt that he could give it a try, he said two words, and Zhao Yu walked over generously.

"Brothers, don't come unharmed?" Zhao Yu said with a smile.

Scarface glanced at Zhao Yu and asked, "Who are you?" I've never seen you. ”

"Big brother doesn't remember, at an inn, we met." Zhao Yu reminded.

Scarface thought about it carefully, but still couldn't think of it,

Zhao Yu returned to Zhao Renjie and shook his head.

"Whoever they are? What is the purpose of coming here? As long as everyone is vigilant, there will be no chaos. Zhao Renjie said.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Renjie and the three came to the room, Zhao Renjie slept on the bed, and Ying'er and Zhao Yu took turns on duty.

At the fourth watch, the lights in the inn went out and people were sleeping, and it was silent.

Suddenly, countless officers and soldiers came outside the inn, lighting lanterns and torches, making a fuss.

"What's going on? Could it be coming for us? But how did those officers and soldiers know who we were? Maybe it's for these Jianghu guests, let's take a look first. Zhao Renjie pondered in his heart.

The smiling Yama was woken up, he went to the window and looked at the officers and soldiers, there were dozens of them.
