Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Mysterious Person!
About an hour later, Wu Yue, Sandezi, and Rong Xiang'er, without anyone following, quietly left the palace and rushed to the Yuelai Inn near the gate of Jingshi.
Today's moon is not very round, faintly visible, around the moon, there seems to be a thin layer of fog, with the intention of blocking the moon. The original starry spots are also gone at this moment, replaced by the faint darkness.
Wu Yue, who came to the city gate, looked up at the moon that was gradually hidden behind the dark clouds, and couldn't help but have a very special feeling in his heart. I vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen tonight.
"Childe, let's go quickly." Sandezi walked quickly to Wu Yue's side and said in a low voice.
Wu Yue nodded, glanced at Rong Xiang'er, motioned for her to follow, and strode to the door of the inn.
Seeing this, Sandezi was one step ahead of Wu Yue, came to the door of the inn, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the building that had been closed.
"Bang bang bang!" As Sandezi knocked on the door of the building hard, the lamp of the hall next to it was lit. Then a voice came out.
"Who?"
"Slightly squinting is here to stay." Sandezi avoided the sound of his's neck, tried to make his voice lower, and responded in a deep voice.
"Wait, I'll open the door for you right away!" Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of shoes pulling in the hall where the lamp was held.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a cloak gently pushed the door open. I looked up and looked outside.
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to disturb you." Sandezi said with a smiling face.
"It's okay, let's come in." The middle-aged man said, got out of the way, and made a gesture of "please" towards Wu Yue.
Wu Yue smiled and nodded, and strode in.
At this moment, the main hall of the inn has been cleaned up, and the stools that were originally placed have been detained on the dining table at this moment.
"Well, I'm sorry." The middle-aged man saw Wu Yue staring at the buttoned stools, smiled embarrassedly, and was about to bring a chair to Wu Yue, but was stopped by Wu Yue.
"Shopkeeper, no. We will be for the night, and tomorrow when the gates are opened, we will go out of the city. ”
"You'd better arrange for two upper rooms." Wu Yue said with a gentle low smile.
"Uh-huh." When the middle-aged man saw Wu Yue dressed in satin, he had no tendency to bully at all, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Wu Yue in his heart.
The shopkeeper walked quickly to the counter, took out two keys, and handed them to Sandezi beside Wu Yue.
"Well, on the east side of the second floor, there are two upper rooms, next to each other. If you don't like it, go to bed there tonight. The middle-aged man turned his face with a smile, looked at Wu Yue, and said.
Wu Yue nodded, turned sideways, beckoned Rong Xiang'er behind him, and took money for the shopkeeper.
Rong Xiang'er stepped forward shyly, took out a silver ingot from her arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled and took it with both hands, "When you check out tomorrow, I will refund the excess room money to you." ”
Wu Yue waved his hand towards the shopkeeper and strode towards the second floor. Seeing this, Sandezi hurriedly took a step ahead of Wu Yue and stepped on the second floor.
The shopkeeper's eyes stared straight at the figure of Wu Yue who was gradually disappearing, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed into a slit.
After a few minutes, the shopkeeper snorted coldly, "I hope you can be more interesting and don't meddle in things." Otherwise, even if you have three heads and six arms, I am afraid that you will be chopped into meat sauce! ”
Yuelai Inn is a time-honored brand that has existed in Beijing for more than 100 years. Therefore, the configuration of the upper room is still very high in Wu Yue's opinion. Pine double bed, superb mahogany furnishings, deep red floors. It looks classy!
Sandezi entered the room, and after inspecting it, he walked out slowly. In the huge upper room, only Wu Yue and Rong Xianger were left.
Wu Yueping lay on the big bed, while Rong Xiang'er blushed and stood aside.
Wu Yue didn't have the heart to care about her at the moment, but was full of thoughts about the things above the court.
About half an hour later, sleepiness directly hit Wu Yue, causing him to yawn and slowly close his eyes.
Rong Xiang'er, who was guarding the side, saw that Wu Yue had closed his eyes, so he stepped to the candlestick next to him, raised his hand and gently blew out the candle, and then retreated to the big bed, slowly sat on the wooden stool, wrapped his arms around his body, and slowly closed his eyes.
In the middle of the night, a slight and fragmentary footsteps came, which made Sandezi, who was sleeping with his heart, sit up suddenly, tiptoe to the window facing the street, gently opened it, and looked out.
At this time, there were about a dozen people around the door of Yuelai Inn. I saw that they were all wearing large hats, and under the not very bright moonlight, they could only see a rough outline.
Sandezi covered the window slightly, slowly came to the corner of the wall near Wu Yue's room, raised his hand and gently buckled it twice.
Wu Yue opened his eyes under Rong Xiang'er's nudge. Rong Xiang'er looked serious, and took advantage of the faint moonlight to raise her hand and point to the location of the window.
Wu Yue's spirit was shocked, he hurriedly got up, slowly came to the window, gently opened a gap in it, and looked out.
After a moment, Wu Yue slowly got up and sat down on the seat against the window. His eyes looked straight in the direction of the door.
"Just by looking at the figures of these people, you can't see anything at all. If Li Dong is here, he can roughly deduce the identities of these people. Wu Yue said silently in his heart.
"Xiang'er, is Guard Li back?" Wu Yue turned his face sideways, looked at Rong Xiang'er, lowered his voice, and said.
Rong Xiang'er shook her head, "According to the time calculation, he should be back." ”
Wu Yue nodded. At this moment, the faint light of a candle swayed in the lobby of the inn. Immediately afterward, the door was opened. Immediately after, a series of subtle footsteps came.
"It should be the group of people who were gathered around and entered the lobby." Wu Yue said silently in his heart, stood up slowly, quietly came to the window near the lobby, and gently opened the window a crack.
One of the people with the big hat muttered a few words to the shopkeeper in a low voice, and then the shopkeeper bowed respectfully to one of the people with the hat, strode back to the counter, and took out a few keys.
Seeing this, Wu Yue hurriedly closed the window.
"Looking at the look of the shopkeeper, among the people in the big hat, there is one person's identity, which must be unusual. But who is this man? After Wu Yue closed the window, he walked lightly, returned to the big bed, and lay down.
At this moment, Wu Yue was no longer sleepy, his eyes were staring straight at the ceiling facing the big bed, and he silently guessed the identity of the person who came.
