Chapter 170: The Sleeper on a Rainy Night

I stiffened, suddenly woke up, got up and quickly put on my coat.

I followed the window to see what was going on outside.

The cool breeze and the rain blew a few strands of broken hair on my sideburns, and I squinted my eyes.

In the pouring rain, I saw the lady with the umbrella hurriedly running over.

Before she could reach the door, she heard a loud bang.

Originally, it was a simple wooden door with a few wooden nails, but it was not strong.

The gate of the courtyard was suddenly kicked away.

Inside the house, Treier pulled me by the hand and pulled me behind her, her hand gripping the lattice tightly.

I frowned, my eyes locked on the influx of people, and my face changed in an instant.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the house where we were staying.

Cui'er ran to open the door, and the little guy who was driving the car flashed in.

He reacted quickly, and the three of them were left in the room.

If something happens to me, these two people will naturally not survive, so the first reaction of the two of them must be to be with me.

When there is danger, they will be the first to stand in front of me.

"Girl, do you want to go out of the backyard right away?" Cui'er whispered.

"No, let's see the situation first." I shook my head and dismissed the idea, there was no reason to leave immediately, and besides, I hadn't even paid for the meal and the money for the hotel.

The most important thing, of course, is that I want to see it.

Who's coming? What to do?

Also, whether the innkeeper is safe or not.

I stared intently at the group of people who had walked into the courtyard and counted them, and there were more than a dozen of them.

One of them was visibly dressed differently from the others, and my eyes were focused on him.

The man was about twenty years old. Because of the rain, he wore a hat and a coat.

The rain curtain blocked part of the view, and it was not far away, and it was not possible to see his appearance clearly.

Judging from the way this person dresses and behaves, I probably have a little calculation in my heart.

First of all, it won't be from the government. The temperament on the body is not like it at all, and these people don't look like they have been trained, they are too loose.

Recognizing this, my nervousness slowed down slightly.

After all, the first possibility I had assumed before was what worried me the most now.

I haven't had a detailed understanding of the situation in the southwest, and the information I've received so far is all from the people I secretly sent out to communicate with Snow Eagle's command some time ago.

It was not an easy challenge for me to avoid the eyes and ears of the Qibei Yanagi family and Yun Chu in this level, but I completed it smoothly.

Based on this, I have enough confidence and confidence to embark on the trip to the southwest alone.

The news that my senior brother delivered from the Imperial City of the Land of Lakes. Everywhere they showed me their plan for the next step, and sooner or later there will be a dispute in this part of the southwest.

Qibei City, together with the southwest region, this big road, this line of people who come to stay in the middle of the night, my first reaction is naturally sent by the royal family of the Lake Kingdom.

Fortunately, their actions have relieved me of such a worry.

I lowered the curtain. The windows were closed, and at that moment, a thunderclap in the sky lit up the entire courtyard.

Moment. It was only for a moment that I saw the leader of the team who caught my attention, and my expression was stunned.

It was a face that looked familiar to the eye.

Where is it? Have I ever seen it?

I closed the window with my hand, frowning as I remembered when that face had appeared in my mind.

The facial features are not necessarily brilliant, and it stands to reason that such a face is the kind that will not be memorable.

So what's the reason for déjà vu?

I suppressed the question in my mind, frowned and thought about it, and since I couldn't find the answer for the time being, I went with my usual style.

It's best to wait and see what happens.

Cui'er leaned close to me, bumped my elbow lightly, and said, "Girl, the slave looks a little familiar with that person. “

My body moved. Turning his head to stare at Cui'er, he said, "Do you remember anything?" “

"Girl, don't you think he's a bit like a person, the one who lives in our backyard?"

My eyes froze. Daigo empowerment, sure enough, I have seen it.

The man named Wenzong who was with Jinhua.

I've been planning for the next trip for the past few days, and I haven't thought about things in the garden.

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and said, "It's still your quick reaction, I'm still wondering where I've seen such a face." “

"But after leaving the garden for a few days, I actually forgot about that stubble."

"Cui'er, looking at it this way, this person is likely to be Wenzong's elder brother."

I looked at Cui'er with a smile and said, "That's right, I still want to look for those people when I get to the southwest, I didn't expect to meet them here." “

"The timing isn't good, though." Cui'er scratched her head and said, "The girl still has something to do, this matter was originally planned to be the last in line, now it's better to try to avoid facing them head-on." “

"Look at the situation of those people entering the door, isn't it easy to think about." Cui'er pouted.

"However, it's not that we can avoid it if we say it's avoided, it's naturally best if people don't look for us, if people come to us for trouble." I don't hurry.

"That's not afraid." Cui'er said it with confidence.

"You don't know kung fu," I said with a funny look at her, "what are you going to do, if you fight, aren't you afraid?" “

"If you really fight, do you care if you run away or ......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The little guy was the first to rush over, his ears close to the door to listen to the movement.

I motioned for him to open the door.

It was the innkeeper who knocked on the door.

She walked in and said with an anxious expression: "Little boy, the gang that came tonight can't be provoked, you three stay in the house and don't come out." ”

"The old man and I will deal with them, even if we hear movement, stay there and don't come out."

I glanced at the eldest lady with gratitude in my eyes and said, "Don't worry, we won't cause trouble to the inn, just stay in this room, but you have to be careful." “

The eldest lady nodded, took the door and went out.

"Auntie." Cui'er went up to stop her at the door and asked, "Are the people who came just now staying or eating?" “

The eldest lady smiled bitterly: "I said I wanted to eat, I asked about the menu, and I was not satisfied, and the son's subordinates said that they wanted to eat dog meat, and they killed Ah Huang with one knife." ”

I looked up. He frowned at her and shook his head.

"Now let my old man cook in the stove."

"Serve them some wine and side dishes, and eat them first."

The eldest lady gave a few words of advice and withdrew.

I closed the door and said to Cui'er and the little girl: "You heard what Aunt Fang Cai said, stay in the house first and don't go out." ”

Cui'er sat down at the table, and the little servant waited by the door, and I looked down and took out the topographic map from my baggage, and looked at it carefully.

There was quite a lot of movement on the other side of the inn, and I could hear that the group of people were eating and drinking.

I glanced coldly through the crack in the window. I didn't hear what I was asking for, so I patiently looked down at my picture.

When I heard footsteps and rain in this direction, my hand grasped the soft sword at my waist.

The eldest lady quickly stopped in front of them, and said in a good voice: "This room is where my sick nephew lives, he came back from hunting in the mountains and broke his leg. After seeing the doctor, I lay down and recuperated. ”

"The injury was not light, so I had to stay in bed."

"Bad luck!" One of the gang shouted, "Go." Let's go, change rooms and live. ”

"The other rooms are empty, any one is enough."

"Young Master, where do you live?" One of the people in the entourage asked.

I pricked up my ears to listen to the voices outside, and the eldest young master in their mouths said in a gloomy tone: "That's the one." ”

Cui'er and I glanced at each other, and we didn't think that the other party had chosen the room next to us.

I listened to the people below persuade him: "There is a broken leg living next door, young master." ”

…… I sat at the table with Cui'er, speaking as low as I could.

"Girl, did you hear it, the big young master next door just now is so scary." Cui'er had palpitations.

The screams seemed to be still in my ears. The ruthlessness of his shot was really beyond my imagination.

It's just a sentence that makes him unhappy and makes him such a heavy hand, and I don't know what kind of mood those people are in under his hands.

It's a pity that there is never a shortage of vicious people in this world, and this kind of person can have a common language with the Night Star Soul.

I'm thinking. He treated his subordinates like this, and he didn't know how Wenzong treated him as an eldest brother when he was in that family.

Cui'er complained quietly, "As if that leg is not a human leg." “

She was really frightened, how many times had she seen something like that when she lived in the garden in Qibei.

I whispered: "You have to get used to it slowly, this time follow me to the southwest, anything can happen, not to mention seeing someone break a leg, what if someone kills someone in front of you?" “

Cui'er looked at me with horror in her eyes and asked, "Who wants to kill?" Is it a girl? ”

I smiled and nudged her arm and said, "It's just an analogy." ”

As soon as the words fell, my eyes became nervous, and Cui'er lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, what's the matter?" Could there be something wrong next door? ”

"No," I pondered for a moment, then shook my head to signal her to be quiet.

The sound of horses' hooves sounding suspicious in the distance.

To determine the direction of the sound, I simply got up from my seat.

After a few steps back and forth in the room, I slowly crouched down and fell to the ground with my ears pressed against the ground.

That's right!

There was the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, coming in the direction of the inn.

Strangely, it just slowed down, but there was no intention of stopping.

Cui'er and Xiaowu saw my expression, and the two of them stayed aside, not daring to come out, for fear of disturbing me.

After half a bang, I straightened up and patted the dust off my body.

The weather conditions were so bad, and the horses that passed by unexpectedly were in such a hurry.

I don't know who that group is.

The southwest has not yet arrived, and the situation seems to be quietly brewing changes.

It seems that there is no delay, and we will have to rush to the next stop early tomorrow morning.
