Chapter 222: The First Signs

Rongcheng, a fairly prosperous town, heard the cries of selling as soon as you entered the city, and it is rare to maintain this peace here in this time of war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was already late, and she wanted to continue to hurry according to Xia Zimo's intentions, but Cangqi didn't allow it, Xia Zimo had no choice but to give up, and she was also thinking that she could gather some people from Baicaotang here to protect their safety on the next journey...... After all, there are only Cang Qi and her, if it happens today, she is afraid that she will really die in his hands.

Although she has always maintained her identity as the head of the Baicao Hall and looks down on those rats, she has to admit that sometimes there are too many ants to bite the elephant......

For her own safety, and in order not to worry Cangqi anymore, she had to be cautious, after all, her body was not the same as before......

In the past, even if she walked alone in the rivers and lakes, she would not be afraid of anything, because she knew that if she encountered a group beating, even if she couldn't beat it, it would be absolutely no problem to escape. But now, she can only exert the skills of the past thirty percent, that is, the level of ordinary masters, and there is still something not enough to see when she meets those real masters.

It's not her humility, it's a reality she has to face......

chose an ordinary inconspicuous inn at random, for her own safety, her peerless face had to be covered, fortunately, it is now autumn, the weather is getting colder, and it is nothing for people who walk the rivers and lakes to wear a hat. However, even so, her figure and her temperament can't be completely covered......

No matter how she looks at it, she is still a beautiful woman, but, fortunately. It's not so outrageous......

Cang Qi, who was holding her hand, made a black outfit and held a sword in his hand. handsome and cold; Duanmu Li on his side is not bad, dressed in brocade clothes. has a luxurious bearing, and at first glance he is a person who has been in a high position for a long time; And that Ying Shi is also a black power suit, less cold than Cangqi, more calm and introverted, his face is a little more ordinary than the other three, not very eye-catching.

The tacit understanding of the four people who tried their best to keep a low profile all concealed their gorgeous personalities, but even so, the battle of these four people was so shocked that the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him personally. Ask how you can help.

Cang Qi glared at the shopkeeper with great dissatisfaction, they all came to his inn, what else could they do, and immediately threw him a piece of silver, and said, "An upper room." ”

"One?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised, why did these four people only need one?

The corners of Xia Zimo's mouth, hidden under the hood, couldn't help but hook up a chuckle, Cang Qi ...... It's so cute. Maybe it wasn't the right word at this point, but for a moment she really didn't know what else she could say.

One, he only booked her room. And if he wants to guard her, he naturally doesn't need to book another room.

Duanmu Li's face is not so good-looking, Cangqi dares to ......

With a cold snort, Ying Shibu also handed over the silver tael, and said lightly: "Four upper rooms." ”

Duanmu Li glanced approvingly. is worthy of the person who has been with him all the year round, and this thing has been done......

Cang Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say anything. He is the prince of Jin, and he is willing to sleep in one room and watch another, which is also his family's business, and it is not his turn to take care of it.

And just now, he clearly felt Zi Mo's dissatisfaction with Ying Shi's behavior. The hand in his palm had tightened visibly tight, if he hadn't known her well enough. Maybe he will misunderstand something because of this, but he knows clearly, Zi Mo was distressed just now, and he felt sorry for the silver two...... She hates others for wasting it the most.

He would never remind Duanmu Li of this, looking at the somewhat proud man, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Xia Zimo wanted to speak, but Cang Qi hurriedly squeezed her hand, and said coldly to the shopkeeper, "Don't lead the way yet?" ”

Palm was busy wiping cold sweat, and the aura of those people was so overwhelming that he almost couldn't breathe, looking at the two heavy pieces of silver lying on the palms of his hands, and secretly complained.

If this kind of thing happened to other bosses, he might be happy and couldn't find North immediately, but he ...... He's just an innkeeper, and these two ingots of silver are about half a month's income for him...... At the moment, I felt that the silver was even heavier......

"Could it be that you don't have enough money?" Duanmu Li also found out that the shopkeeper was wrong, and stared at the innkeeper very unhappily.

The shopkeeper was like a mang, a spirit, busy holding his mind, holding the two ingots of silver tightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, he could see that he had to do this business if he didn't do it today.

The room is not gorgeous or even a little simple, but it is quite tidy, everything is new, although Xia Zimo is a particular person, but when there are conditions, seeing that the shopkeeper is honest, he didn't think about embarrassing him, so he nodded. Cang Qi didn't say much when he saw that Zi Mo was willing, but he still had a cold face and asked the boss to send some food and hot water in.

Duanmu Li saw such a humble inn, frowned a little and stayed. Ying Shi glanced at Duanmu Li apologetically, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say......

The dignified King of Jin, from the moment he was born, what is not the best, how can he ever suffer such hardship? But......

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Duanmu Li, you can go back tomorrow." At this time, Xia Zimo said lightly.

"Zi Mo, I'm ......" Duanmu Li hurriedly said: "Didn't Zi Mo promise me?" ”

"The affairs of the capital can't tolerate a little fork, or you are more relieved to keep an eye on me personally." Xia Zimo was indifferent, and seemed to be a little concerned.

Duanmu Li's heart was warm and then cold, did she really care about him or for those two? When I had a question in my heart, I inevitably brought a little bit on my face: "I said, you don't have to worry about things over there, Zi Mo might as well take care of his body more when he is free." ”

Xia Zimo was blocked by a sentence, and her heart was depressed, it was rare for her to care about him once, and he treated him like this? glanced at Duanmu Li and said no more.

In other words, the three white-clothed men who had been following Xia Zimo and the others were secretly complaining at this time, and in order to prevent the four of them from finding out, they used light skills all the way, and they almost collapsed when they arrived in Rongcheng.

They have been looking for an opportunity to rob Xia Zimo away, but will these people be too strict? Why didn't Cang Qi let go of the hand holding the woman?

What would happen if the Lord knew about this, and didn't know what would happen?

When they heard that the Lord had the three of them go out together just to rob a woman back, their expressions were as wonderful as they could. Their cold-blooded and ruthless lord who didn't know what was going on in the world would actually send three of their four protectors for a while?

If it weren't for Zhuo Lie's mission, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be just the three of them who came this time......

The lord also specifically said that the woman was not allowed to hurt a single hair, and if she hurt one, they would be killed...... This is definitely not a joke, their "inhuman" lord can definitely do that, and they can still feel the cold.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shudder. Busy regained some strength, and followed the four people from a distance, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.

Seeing that the four of them chose a not very good inn, their eyes flashed and they retreated, and when they reappeared, they were full of anger, and the most absolutely important thing was that they were discussing the verses of whoever and who, and the words of those who were in the house, and looking at the washed white clothes, they were definitely those scholars from poor families.

The three of them entered the inn, and as long as they had three lower rooms, it could be seen that the economy was indeed a little difficult.

The shopkeeper was a kind-hearted person, seeing that the poor trio still did not forget to recite poems and study hard when they were poor, and remembered their son who was also studying hard in the cold window, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Three sons, where is this going?" ”

"In times of war, as scholars, we should serve our country, and the three of us want to go to Liberty City together to see what we can do?" One of them showed a little sadness, and he was a little more heroic when he mentioned his country.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look sideways, and the smile on his face became more and more kind......

"If the three sons don't dislike it, today's accommodation should be invited by the little old man."

"Old man......" The other person hurriedly shirked it, a few reluctance flashed on his face, and said: "I am bent on gaining fame and want to serve the country, how can I be greedy for my father-in-law's money at this time?" ”

"This ...... Don't shirk the three sons...... As a member of Xuanyuan Country, he should serve Xuanyuan Country, Xiao Lao'er is old and can't go to the battlefield, at this time, I see the three, can the three of them fulfill this wish for Xiao Lao'er? ”

"Uncle, it's easy to talk about this, but this cost can't be saved." The next person looked grateful, but the persistence in his eyes was equally distinct. "At the moment of national crisis, it is the right thing to serve the country...... How can we be greedy for my husband's money because of this? ”

"Three sons, this matter is settled." The three of them ordered the cheapest room, but the shopkeeper brought the three of them to the upper room, he pushed open the door and said, "I will bring hot water for the three sons in a while." ”

Without waiting for the three of them to refuse, they hurriedly left.

The trio is entangled......

"This ...... How can this be? ”

"This old man is really a man of temperament."

"Alas! We will understand the kindness of the old man, if we shirk it again, I am afraid it will cause the old man to be unhappy. ”

Over there, the shopkeeper went down the stairs, and his heart was a little more comfortable, he had just gotten so much silver for nothing, and now he was exempted from the fees of three poor scholars, and it could be regarded as a report and a report.

He has always been an honest innkeeper, and he has always felt that one sentence is quite right: "Contentment and happiness are the best way." Lowered his eyes to hide the fleeting essence under his eyes, and then looked up again with that honest appearance.

Xia Zimo listened to the conversation of the few people outside just now, looked at Duanmu Li meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect that there are such patriotic people in your Xuanyuan Kingdom?" ”

What do you say...... That's called a deserve to fight!

What do you call Xuanyuan Kingdom? What do you mean by unexpected? Is he so bad in Xuanyuan? Think about it, which of those hundreds of thousands of soldiers is not willing to throw their heads and spill blood for his Xuanyuan country? If those people are not patriotic, how can he Xuanyuan Kingdom have been among the great powers for hundreds of years?

He said angrily: "It is a blessing for my country that I have such people in Xuanyuan. (To be continued.) )
