252 Wooden Fish Sound
Zhang Haomin is just a lay disciple of Master Xuan, and inherited the Fulin Inn after the death of his parents, although the inn is not big, it is enough for a family of three to maintain daily expenses, and there is a slight surplus, which can be regarded as a medium-sized family.
And Hongcheng closed the city, originally a lot of outsiders who entered Hongcheng, could not get out of the city for a while, had to stay in Hongcheng, most of the guests of the Fulin Inn were low- and middle-income, and they were able to pay the room fee every day at the beginning, but who knew that a city was two or three months, most of the silver on those people was spent, and now they still can't get out of the city, although some people have temporarily found something to do, but it is only enough for the meal, and the room fee is in arrears, the inn has lost its source of income, and the remaining thousand taels of silver have been spent.
Now, the silver given to them by Yaxiang has solved their worries, and the couple is really grateful, so they don't have to sell the inn.
If it weren't for Yaxiang and their arrival, Zhang Haomin really wanted to sell the inn, and he couldn't bear to drive them away for the guests, because whoever stayed on the street at night would be arrested by the government, and as for selling the inn, he really couldn't care about how the new buyers treated those guests.
"Before you came, the government was still searching, and the inn was also searched, and I heard that someone entered Hongcheng through the south gate tonight." Zhang Haomin suddenly remembered what the officers and soldiers who searched said, although Zhang Haomin was honest, he didn't understand the world at all, otherwise, this inn would really not be able to open.
He also knew a few people in the government, and often spent some money to fix it, so those officers and soldiers didn't bother his inn much.
Yaxiang came in from the west city gate, and those places that were not guarded were actually traps, only the city gate was safer because it was guarded.
South City Gate, could it be the secret guards she sent? Yaxiang and Yu Qinghong glanced at each other, and Yu Qinghong also knew that the secret guards sent by Yaxiang were all secret guards trained by him, and if they were really discovered by those officials, then it would be time to go back to the furnace.
But Yaxiang thinks it's unlikely, there are more than a dozen of those secret guards, and it makes no sense that one of them entered the city, could it be Xu Yuancong? She sent a message that they had been ambushed near Hongcheng, killing and wounding several people, and were now stationed in a small mountain village.
"Miss......" Qinqi, poetry and painting wanted to say something, but it was not easy to say it in front of Zhang Haomin and his wife.
"It's not too early, sister-in-law, you husband and wife go and rest." Yaxiang said quietly, these two, although Zhang Haomin knows some kung fu, but that is to strengthen his body and be able to deal with three or five ordinary people, and his wife is a weak woman, plus a child, the child is already asleep, Yaxiang didn't see how old it was, and it was estimated that he was only a few years old.
So Masaka didn't want to scare them, and it was better not to let them know about some things.
Zhang Haomin and the others promised to leave, in the middle of the night, they were really sleepy, when will the days of fear come to an end?
"Cousin, go and rest." Seeing Zhang Haomin and his wife leaving, Yaxiang also urged, as for her, she has to go out for a while, she is not afraid that something will happen to those secret guards, she is a little worried about Xu Yuancong's kid, if he recklessly entered the city alone and went to see the prefect, it would be really troublesome.
Master Xuan said that the prefect was already another person, that was Long Lingtian, the former emperor of the Yuyao Kingdom, and the person who killed her father and the princess, the Yuyao Palace caught fire, and they were not burned to death, not only did he escape, but his son also escaped, and almost killed her.
A sharp light suddenly appeared in Yaxiang's eyes, if it was really the one who killed her parents, she would make him worse than dead, hum, death was too cheap for him after all.
Yu Qinghong just raised his head and saw the sharp light in Yaxiang's eyes, and shivered alive, thinking that he would rather offend the emperor than offend Yaxiang.
I wanted to say something, but I forgot about it, and when I walked into the room where I was resting, I remembered that he was trying to persuade Yaxiang not to take risks at night, why did he forget the light in her eyes?
When Yaxiang asked Yu Qinghong to rest early, he knew what she had in mind, saying that he had not lived in vain in the past thirty years, and he also learned a lot of Qimen gossip with his master, he knew that Yaxiang was extraordinary, but she turned out to be the queen, which he didn't expect, and before leaving, Master Duan told him and asked him to protect her all the way.
He had also seen the stars before, and when the news of the emperor's wedding came, the originally dim star in the sky slowly approached the emperor star and began to brighten.
Although it was a little dimer for a while after getting married, but now the Houxing is getting brighter and brighter, and it has returned to its place, which means that the emperor and queen are inseparable. After all, it can't hide the light of the back star.
Yaxiang turned out to be the queen, in fact, when Yu Qinghong heard the news, his mind was a little confused, and until now he actually hasn't digested the news.
Yu Qinghong knocked on the door of Yaxiang's room, and it was Qin Lai who opened it, as if there was still a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Qin saw that it was Yu Qinghong, put away the dissatisfaction on his face, joked, and showed a face of dissatisfaction in front of his master, so he was not punished?
Yu Qinghong had punished those disciples, but because he was dissatisfied with the rigor of his training, the amount of training that was punished had tripled, and Qin still remembered it vividly.
"Well, what about the palace master?" Yu Qinghong obviously didn't pay attention to Qin's expression, but was worried that Yaxiang would sneak out alone.
"The palace master went out with chess, and he didn't say where to go." The poet and painter also walked out when they heard the movement, they also wanted to go, but the palace master only brought chess, saying that she was better at light skills, and it seemed that they also had to practice light skills, otherwise they would be disgusted by the palace master.
"Just a moment before she went out?" Yu Qinghong has a black line, her movements are really fast, in fact, he himself was in a daze for a while, and when he came to his senses, he walked to Yaxiang's room, with Yaxiang's speed, he didn't know which street he had arrived?
"Well, it's almost time for a cup of tea." Qin is very strange, although the palace master only has a cup of tea to go out, but it is not short.
"Oh, rest well." The huge Hongcheng didn't know where they went, but he had seen Yaxiang's skills, and Yu Qinghong didn't want to go to find someone messily, so he had to go back to the room to rest.
Masaka and Chess were both dressed in black night clothes, wearing black cloaks and black veils, and headed for the prefect's mansion.
The prefect's mansion was heavily guarded, but it was not without loopholes, and in a sparsely guarded place, Yaka and Qi jumped into the prefect's mansion, which was a side courtyard and few people came.
As soon as they came in, the two of them heard the sound of a wooden fish knocking, and in the autumn night, the sound of the wooden fish seemed even more dull, and the person who was tapping seemed to be full of worries.
Suddenly, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, accompanied by a faint sigh of a woman.
