CHAPTER XVI
Dongfang Du shook his head with a chuckle, Xiao Hei wanted to carry her and Dongfang Lingwu, how could he catch up with the dark clouds, "Xiao Hei, do you see the night wind in front, if you can catch up, I will give you good forage to eat tonight, drive~" Xiao Hei hissed and chased hard towards the night wind. The weather was cold, the cold wind gusted, and the three people and two horses galloped towards Jinzhou City.
Not long after Wu Mingxing and the others left, they came to the tea shed, and one of them glanced at the tea shed on the side of the road and asked, "Boss, do you want to rest here?" Wu Mingxing pulled the reins hard, stopped the horse, and the people behind also stopped the horse, Wu Mingxing glanced in the direction of Jinzhou City, thinking that there was no danger on the way, so he turned back to his subordinates and said: "Rest here for a while, and then set off in a quarter of an hour." ”
"Brother Du, this is already the boundary of Jinzhou." Dark Cloud waited for Dongfang Du to catch up with him, pointed to the boundary monument, and said with a smile. The three of them had no trouble all the way, and finally arrived at the boundary of Jinzhou, and saw that the sky was dark, and it should be the time to pass the unitary time.
"Although we have reached the boundary of Jinzhou, we can ......" Dongfang Lingwu glanced around, "This place is deserted, and the weather is cold, we won't sleep in the wilderness, right?" He frowned, knowing that he was going to sleep in the wilderness, it was better to come by carriage, at least he could sleep in the carriage.
"There is a small town thirty miles ahead, Ling Wu, don't worry." Dongfang Du circled Dongfang Lingwu, turned his head sideways and said in relief, and after speaking, he turned his head to Dark Cloud and said, "Yun'er, let's continue to move forward, we will spend the night in the town in front of us tonight." ”
"Hmm" Darkcloud nodded, tugged on the reins, turned the horse's head, and continued on his way.
After traveling about thirty miles, I really saw a small town - Liangyu Town. The name of the town is good jade, naturally it is a good place to produce good jade, because of this, this town is rich, it is dark but the lights are bright, and there are many pedestrians on the road. The three of them got off the horse in front of the town plaque, led the horse into the town, it was already dark, and Dongfang Du planned to find an inn to settle down before coming out to stroll around. Thinking that the inns were almost the same, he found one at random, and was standing at the door to look at it, and the shopkeepers greeted him warmly.
"A few guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" As soon as Xiao Er saw a guest standing at the door of the inn, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and Xiao Er led the horses of Dongfang Du and the three of them to the backyard, and Xiao Er enthusiastically took the three of them inside. Entering the inn, Dongfang Du glanced at it casually, and there were many people sitting in the lobby, all kinds of people, drinking wine, eating and chatting.
Dongfang Du frowned, thinking that there were dragons and snakes in this place, and there were two girls around him who had never seen much of the world, so he was afraid that it would cause trouble. After thinking about it, someone in the lobby looked over with squints. I guessed that the other inns were similar, thinking that it would be better to open a few rooms quickly, and when the time came, I would have dinner in the room, and nothing should happen if I didn't stay in the lobby, so I walked quickly to the counter. "The shopkeeper wants three upper rooms." Dongfang Du walked quickly to the counter and said directly to the shopkeeper who was bowing his head to keep accounts.
The shopkeeper stopped his pen and looked up, looked at Dongfang, and then at the two women beside him, thinking that the young man was young but glamorous, and he could bring two girls by his side. Seeing that one of the women was still masked, I couldn't help but think about it, imagining what the face would look like behind the scarf.
Dongfang Du saw that the shopkeeper had been staring at Dongfang Lingwu fugue, took a step forward to protect Dongfang Lingwu behind him, and said with a cold face: "Shopkeeper, open three upper rooms." ”
Suddenly a murderous face appeared, the shopkeeper was so frightened that the pen fell, came back to his senses, and smiled at Dongfang with a flattering face, "The little one will see if there is a room first, the guest officer, etc." As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper looked down at the room registration book, and found that there were only two upper rooms left, swallowed his saliva, his voice trembled, and said fearfully: "Guest officer, no... There are no three upper rooms, only two remain......"
"Only two? Are there any other rooms? Dongfang Du still had a cold face, and his eyes flashed with cold light, so frightened that the innkeeper didn't dare to look at Dongfang Lingwu again.
"There's... Yes, there are ordinary guest rooms empty...... "I don't know why, the shopkeeper always feels that there is an inexplicable air pressure that overwhelms him, and he can't even speak."
"Then open two upper rooms, one ordinary."
"Okay... ...... shopkeeper wiped his forehead, but he didn't expect that he would sweat in this winter, "I don't know if the guest officer's name is ......"
"Ling Du" Dongfang Du didn't even think about it, so he reported this name.
Dongfang Lingwu was protected by Dongfang Du, and when he heard Dongfang Du calling himself Ling Du, an indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, which seemed to be throbbing, and it seemed to be something else. In the Eastern Qianguo, the royal family is surnamed Dongfang. Before the age of 20, men are all single words, and on the day of their 20th birthday, they will be given a two-character name, and the two-character name will only be used by those who are close to them, 'If it is when the emperor's brother is 20 years old, the father and the emperor give the word Ling, how good it would be'......
When Dark Cloud heard that her brother Du actually called himself Ling Du, she glanced at Dongfang Du in a daze, and then looked at Dongfang Lingwu, but found that Dongfang Lingwu was staring at Dongfang Du affectionately, and it didn't seem that there was sister and brother affection in her eyes, Dark Cloud pretended not to see the feelings in Dongfang Lingwu's eyes, but focused on the name Ling Du.
'It must be that my surname is not good, so Brother Du doesn't use my surname...... But... But why didn't Brother Du use the surname of Concubine Xian Niangniang...... ' Dark Cloud began to complain about his surname, completely forgetting that his surname was given by the emperor, and only their secret guards in the world would have the surname Dark, and the common people didn't know that there were people in the world who would have the surname Dark.
"It turned out to be Ling Gongzi", the shopkeeper registered his name, and hurriedly said to Xiao Er: "Fugui, hurry up and take Ling Gongzi and the two girls beside him to the guest room." "When Dongfang Du followed Xiao Er upstairs, the shopkeeper exhaled heavily, 'I finally feel relaxed......
The inn's junior Erfugui took the three of Dongfang Du to the upper room first, "Childe, Miss, this room is the upper room next door, and the one at the end of the corridor is an ordinary room." Xiao Er raised his hand and pointed to the guest room next door and the one at the end of the corridor, "If Childe and Miss have any orders, just shout Xiao" After speaking, he arched his hand and retreated.
"Yun'er, you live in this upper room" Dongfang Du pointed to the upper room in front of him, then turned his head to Dongfang Ling Wu and said, "Ling Wu, you live in the next room, and I live in the one at the end of the corridor." ”
"Du, how can you ......" 'How do you let a subordinate live in the upper room' Dongfang Lingwu asked puzzledly, thinking that it was inappropriate to say that the dark cloud was a subordinate to his face, so he hid the latter sentence.
Dongfang Du didn't fail to hear the meaning of her words, but just smiled and said: "Outside, there is only a distinction between men and women, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. After speaking, he looked at the dark cloud, and saw that the dark cloud lowered his head slightly and did not speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yun'er, Yun'er" Dongfang Du called lightly twice, and when Dark Cloud heard Dongfang Du shouting his name, he came back to his senses and looked up at Dongfang Du with a complicated look. Seeing the eyes of the dark clouds, Dongfang Du couldn't help but take two steps back, his heart was beating faster, he was scared and unbelievable.
'Impossible, impossible! I must have read it wrong! Dongfang Du silently told himself in his heart, thinking that his reaction was too intense, Dongfang Du took a deep breath and smiled shallowly, wanting to hide his panic with a smile.
"You... You first... Advanced room look... Check it out, I'...... I'll go to my room and have a look," but the words were paused, and no matter how much I took a deep breath, I still couldn't calm my heart. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly to the end of the corridor, took two steps and thought that Dongfang Lingwu's burden was still on his body, so he hurriedly took it off, walked back and stuffed it to Dongfang Lingwu, turned his head and walked towards the ordinary guest room, his steps staggering.
Dongfang Lingwu watched Dongfang Du stumble, he didn't know what was wrong with him, and after thinking about it, he didn't find anything special happening, shook his head, turned his head and said to Dark Cloud: "Dark Cloud, you can also enter the room, tired all the way, have a good rest." After saying that, he took his baggage and went to the next room.
"Hmm" Dark Cloud turned his head to Dongfang Ling Wu and nodded, and then his gaze fell on the room at the end of the corridor.
