Chapter 282: On Fire (Zhongxue Night's Dream and Clan Bijia 2)
This is a small town called Quartz, which originally comforted them to get here from the previous town in only half a day, and the remaining half a day to reach the next big city to stay.
Now you can only stay in Quartz Town, the guards rode horses to book an inn in advance, there are not many people staying in a town like this, there are only three or four inns, and the conditions are very limited, but in any case, it is stronger than sleeping in the open air.
The inn where they stayed was in the town that had just entered the town, an ordinary two-story building, downstairs is the dining hall, upstairs is the accommodation room, a total of ten, the area is not bad, the layout is very simple, a round table in the small hall, a bed against the wall, a screen next to the bed to separate the washing area, that's all.
The whole inn is only comfortable for a group of them to stay, Yun Mu only took Yun Ruo and Yun Tai on this trip, accounting for two rooms, and there are eight rooms left.
After staying at the inn, I had dinner, washed up, and went back to the room to rest, which was calm.
Until the second half of the night, Shu Xin slept so well that Zhengxiang was woken up by Yan Er: "Miss, wake up quickly, it's on fire." ”
"What? Fire? Shu Xin's dull brain woke up in an instant, got up and got out of bed.
The two opened the door, and the others had already gotten up, billowing smoke rushed up from the first floor with the firelight, there was only one staircase from the second floor to the first floor, and the stairs were already burning, but this was not a big problem for people who knew martial arts, Yan'er was comfortable, Xiao'er was with Qiu'er, and Baili Rin Ye did not let go of this opportunity to take Nangong Lan to perform light skills before the others.
Shu Xin found out that the four little guys who took care of Nangong Lan were also good at martial arts.
A group of people stood on the street and looked at the burning inn in front of them, and the number of people who looked at it comfortably jumped and exclaimed: "What about the three of them?" "It's not still in the inn, is it?
"They're not in the room." Xu Shan replied.
"Not in the room?" Shu Xin was even more surprised.
"They left the room not long after they fell asleep."
"Left?" Shu Xin thought a little broken. What should Yun Mu do if she leaves her mission? Yun Mu is not here, how can she help him?
And, what's the matter with leaving without saying a word? Shu Xin was a little angry, faintly sad.
The fire attracted attention. Someone got up and rang the gong to call for someone to put out the fire, and the officials also hurried over. Soon there was a circle of people outside the inn, and they retreated to the side, and people carried buckets to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong until the inn was almost burned, and the fire was not extinguished.
Before the fire was about to be extinguished, Yun Mu, Yun Ruo, and Yun Tai came back one after another.
Shu Xin looked at Yun Mu who "flew" down from the night sky, and was stunned, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "Where have you been?" The tone is natural and skillful, with concern and concern.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry and left." Yun Mu glanced at Shu Xin and replied naturally.
Xu is questions and answers between the two of them felt too natural and skillful, but the two of them were not familiar with that at all, Nangong Lan couldn't help but look at Yun Mu twice.
Yun Mu didn't notice Nangong Lan's eyes, he stared at the burned inn and frowned slightly. Thinking about whether this fire was aimed at him or Shu Xin and others.
He didn't know what it was like to go to Nancheng. Today, he also knew the identities of these people who traveled with Shuxin, and he couldn't figure out why Shuxin was with Nangong Lan, Baili Linye, Luo Zihong, and other big names who had caused a sensation, and they still looked so familiar.
Recently, he has been so busy that he has no intention of paying attention to the things that are comfortable, and he doesn't want to be comfortable...... He felt that comfort was becoming more and more unsimple and mysterious.
After the fire was extinguished, the official came to inquire about the situation, and Xu Shan was responsible for answering.
The official didn't know what to say about this group of unlucky travelers, and after asking a few questions routinely, he comforted them and said a few words to change to an inn.
The officer was just about to leave. The three officials who entered the inn to check the situation quickly walked out, saying that the body of the innkeeper had been found in the inn's underground wine cellar.
Now the people who put out the fire and were about to leave stayed to watch the excitement, and it is a rare event for such a small town to happen.
The innkeeper's family hurried to the inn after receiving the news and saw the inn burned to the ground with only an empty shelf. Hearing the news of the innkeeper's murder again, he burst into tears outside the inn.
Quartz Town is a small town under Dian County, and it takes about two and a half hours to take a carriage from Quartz Town to Dian County, and only five officials are stationed here.
After the fire was extinguished, the captain of the government hurried over. There was a murder in the town and he was still the owner of the inn at the entrance of the town, and the inn was burned. This matter must be reported to the county government immediately and someone will be sent to deal with it.
A servant was sent to the county to spread the news, and the captain of the yayster led the other three to temporarily seal off the inn.
Tonight, only Shu Xin and others will stay in this inn. Now that such a thing had happened, they became the most suspicious people, and after sealing the scene, the captain of the government rushed towards them under the gaze of everyone.
Before he got close, he was stopped by Xu Shan, I don't know what Xu Shan said to the captain of the officer, the captain of the officer changed his face in an instant, nodded and left, and dispersed the crowd watching the excitement.
Xu Shan sent people to another inn, and when they arrived at the new inn, everyone didn't say much, and they went back to their rooms to rest, just experienced such a thing, and slept very unsteadily in the second half of the night.
This fire came too strangely, they secretly had Xue Zijing with a secret guard to protect it, if it was an accident, this fire should have been discovered as soon as it burned, so as to extinguish it. If it is man-made, who can set fire to it under Xue Zijing's nose?
Shu Xin already had a general understanding of the people around Nangong Lan, and naturally knew how high Xue Zijing's martial arts were.
The next day it rained and the air was unusually fresh, and they all got up early in the morning, but they were not able to set off until a little after the morning.
The carriage had been destroyed by a fire the previous night, but the luggage had been brought back to the house, and the inn was too small to have enough stables, and the horses were unloaded and locked up in another place, and were not affected.
After breakfast, when the market opened, Xu Shan took people to rent a carriage, because there were eight to rent at once, and the town was too small to find a carriage, so it took some time.
The rented carriage was only to the next city, and the fifth day of the trip had just begun, so they had to buy a carriage, but the carriage in Quartz Town was too simple, and there was not so much stock at the car dealership, so they had to go to the next big city to buy it.
Out of Quartz Town, they entered the next county, there are a total of twelve states in the Shuiyao Kingdom, there are ten counties under one state, and there are ten counties under one county, and they are about to enter the main county town of Hongdu County, "Hongdu City".
Shu Xin sat in a carriage with Nangong Lan today, and the two chatted, chatting and chatting about last night.
"Daddy, do you say this fire is aimed at us or Yun Mu?"
A sharp light flashed in Nangong Lan's eyes and said, "It's aimed at us." ”
"For us!" Shu Xin was shocked: "Isn't Uncle Xue secretly protecting?" can set fire to his eyelids, wouldn't the other party be very powerful? (To be continued......)
