Chapter 549: Rain

Nothing happened overnight.

People who didn't keep watch on the roof all night may not feel that emotion, and the moment Li Qi came down from the roof, he was in a somewhat relaxed mood.

Many of the people who slept peacefully in the inn did not know that the boy had sat on the roof with a knife in his hand all night.

Back in his room, Li Qi put the remaining half pot of wine on the table, not that he couldn't drink it, but he didn't dare to drink more when he was on duty.

I washed my face with water, didn't eat breakfast, and fell asleep.

When chatting last night, Li Qi had already said that everyone would not go to the street or travel today, but only wait at the inn.

So early in the morning, as soon as Li Qi came back, Mr. Ye had already appeared on the roof.

He also carried a pot of wine in his hand, and sat cross-legged on the roof, his moon-white robe swaying lightly in the wind, like a fairy overlooking the world.

Chen Dawei and Ganggang went to meet the innkeeper according to Li Qi's instructions, gave compensation, and went to ask other guests to leave one by one, and also gave compensation.

Knowing that something might happen to the inn, the shopkeeper's face was very ugly, and he was obviously very scared.

Yu Jiuling patted the shopkeeper's shoulder and said with a smile.

"If your inn is destroyed, you should be happy, we will pay you more than just the price of an inn."

The shopkeeper paused for a moment and looked at Yu Jiuling with a puzzled expression.

Yu Jiuling smiled: "Believe me, you should be looking forward to any damage to your inn." ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked, "Will it really be compensated?" ”

In such troubled times, there are many times when you encounter robbers and hooligans, who will really compensate for the silver.

In such a world, the world is big, and if you have a knife in your hand, you dare to call it big.

Yu Jiuling said: "Do you think we look like unreasonable robbers and hooligans? ”

The shopkeeper wanted to say yes, but he didn't dare to say it.

He said in his heart, "Don't you know what you're doing?"

bought all the carriages of the Yuzhou pharmacists, and even if the Yuzhou pharmacists could buy medicinal materials, they would not have a car to transport them back.

Yu Jiuling knew what people were thinking when he saw the shopkeeper's face, and he didn't bother to explain.

The more than 100 pro-soldiers brought were divided into two groups, half of them in the backyard to protect the chariots, horses and medicinal herbs.

The other half is scattered around the inn, and there are also guards set up in the shadows.

After everything is arranged, just wait for the call to come to the door.

Li Qi slept until the afternoon, and when he woke up, he smelled some meat in his nose.

Li Qi sniffled, as if he had been pulled up by the fragrance, he sat up and looked around, and then he was happy.

It is rare to see such a well-behaved Yu Jiuling, who is making dumplings in the house like a little daughter-in-law.

There was a pot on the stove, and the water was already boiling and gurgling.

Li Qi got up and said, "What is the last sentence after nothing to be courteous?" ”

Yu Jiuling said: "There is nothing to be courteous, Yu Jiuling's love is more than real gold." ”

Li Qi sat down, looked at the table that was already cooked, and he pinched one and put it in his mouth.

Yu Jiuling said: "Hot ......"

When he said this word, in just a few moments, the dumplings had already turned hot in Li Qi's mouth several times.

"What's going on?"

Li Qi finally swallowed the dumplings, and he asked Yu Jiuling: "Isn't it that the back kitchen of this inn has been scared away?" ”

Yu Jiuling said: "How do you know...... Not to mention the chef, even the shopkeeper ran away with his daughter-in-law. ”

Li Qi laughed, and said in his heart that it would be good to run away, and it would be better to fight so as not to be injured by mistake.

The sword has no eyes, and civilians are not guilty.

Yu Jiuling said: "In order to find out the news of the Yuzhou Army this time, we can really count a lot of money." ”

He spoke while making dumplings, and said quickly: "So many people go south, and the food and clothing along the way is a lot of silver, and when I get here, buying a carriage is a lot of silver, buying so many carriages and houses, plus other expenses, I have a little pain in the money." ”

Li Qi put down the dumplings: "I don't seem to have missed anything, in what you said just now, after buying so many carriages, no."

Is there still a house? ”

Yu Jiuling sat up straight, looked at Li Qi and said seriously: "I can explain this ......"

Li Qi asked, "Where is the house?" ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Just ...... Now live in the house. ”

Li Qi raised his hand and rubbed his face, he asked, "So the shopkeeper and the chef are not scared away?" ”

Yu Jiuling nodded and said curtly: "No, they took the money and ran away, they didn't have any nostalgia at all, and they ran away......

He looked at Li Qi and whispered, "This is ...... It's all to blame on the shopkeeper, I said don't be afraid of breaking your inn house in a fight, and we are not in charge of paying you more, but only paying you more. ”

Li Qi nodded: "That's right." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "But he didn't believe it, he said that if you were beaten to death, who would I find to accompany you, and besides, you said that you would pay me more, but there was no evidence." ”

Yu Jiuling slapped the table with a snap: "What I said is tolerable, but Yu Jiuling can't bear it." ”

Li Qi smiled: "So you simply bought this inn?" ”

Yu Jiuling snorted: "I bought it...... In fact, it is more economical than really breaking it and paying him double, and we still left the house behind. ”

Li Qi pinched a dumpling and put it in his mouth, got up and washed his hands: "You dodge, I'll make dumplings for you to eat." ”

Yu Jiuling was a little puzzled: "You must be thinking about how to clean me up." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "You didn't make a mistake, I'll clean up what you do, this inn will be bought as soon as you buy it, and we will often come to buy medicinal materials in the future, and it will be much easier to settle down in this place, not only for us, but also for the people of Shen Yitang." ”

Li Qi said: "You are right, if it is broken, double the compensation to others, the inn is still someone else's, buy it directly, spend less money, but the inn is ours, so if you calculate it, you will make a profit without loss." ”

Yu Jiuling asked tentatively, "Are you really praising me?" ”

Li Qi said: "Really. ”

Yu Jiuling let out a long breath and said, "The heroes outside, it's okay, the boss didn't do anything, you don't have to wait to pull him away." ”

Li snorted.

Outside the door, Chen Dawei and Ganggang came in and sat down with a smile.

Li Qi asked, "Mr. Ye is still on it?" ”

Yu Jiuling nodded.

Li Qi looked up, there was a hole in the roof, it should be Mr. Ye who had removed two tiles, and a pair of eyes were exposed, and he was still looking there.

There seemed to be a look of disappointment in his eyes......

Not long after, Li Qi carried a plate of dumplings to the roof, and he handed the dumplings to Mr. Ye: "You personable person, you actually lie there and peek." ”

Mr. Ye said: "It's really out of grace, and I didn't wait for anything...... You're going to have a beating. ”

The two of them sat there looking into the distance, the sky was gloomy, and they didn't know when it would rain, and there was a bit of a depressing smell in the wind.

Because I was afraid that the medicinal herbs would be soaked in the rain, there was no one in the market, and they all went back to hide from the rain.

There was no one in the market, and the streets were empty.

Mr. Ye sighed: "On a rainy day, it is more compatible with eating dumplings." ”

Li Qi snorted.

The back of his hand was cold, and a large raindrop fell on his hand.

Not long after he and Mr. Ye returned to the room, the heavy rain was pouring down, and they soon looked out the window, but their vision was blocked by the rain curtain.

Li Qi stood at the window, holding his hands.

He looked out into the street.

"They're all back in place."

Li Qi exhaled slowly: "I'm afraid my friends are coming early." ”

About a moment later, a dark figure appeared on the street, it was a group of men with knives wearing hats and robes.

The group walked in silence, the rain crashing down on them, and the sound sounded like it hit a plantain leaf.

The rain flowed down their hats, forming a curtain of beads.

They came to a stop when they reached the outside of the inn, and no one moved, nor did they

People talk, silently like a group of sculptures that suddenly appeared.

At this time, the spring rain is no longer cold, but because these people came, because of the knife they were holding in their arms, the spring rain suddenly turned into winter rain.

They stood outside the inn and waited for about half a moment, waiting for someone, and then waiting for the military order.

A man came up from behind, and when he came, the people standing in the street were like waves of water parting, making way for him.

The man walked downstairs to the inn and looked up at the window.

The rain washed over his face, but he didn't even blink an eye.

Li Qi looked at him, he looked at Li Qi.

I thought they would attack, but after a while, the leader turned back and gave an order, and all the men with swords immediately retreated.

They came silently, and they retreated silently.

Ding Shengjia walked to the door of the inn alone, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Yu Jiuling looked at Li Qi, and Li Qi nodded: "Open the door." ”

Moments later, the living room.

After Ding Shengjia entered the door, he took off the hat and hung it on the hanger at the door, the coat on his body was still dripping, and he didn't go inside, as if he didn't want to wet the inn floor.

Li Qi came down from upstairs and pointed to the other side of the table: "Please take a seat." ”

Ding Shengjia shook his head: "Don't sit, you can't dirty the inn." ”

Li Qi said: "It's okay. ”

Ding Shengjia thought for a moment, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

He walked over to the table and sat down, his upper body still straight.

"You bought the inn?"

He asked.

Li Qi nodded: "After all, if you break someone else's things, you have to pay for it." ”

Ding Shengjia sighed: "Shen Yitang is really not short of money. ”

Li Qi sat down opposite Ding Shengjia and poured Ding Shengjia a cup of hot tea.

"Why did the general retreat?"

"How do you know I'm a general?"

Li Qi glanced at the hanger and said, "The hat is like an iron helmet, and the coat is like military armor." ”

Ding Shengjia's eyes showed a bit of appreciation.

He looked at the hot tea in front of him, but didn't drink it.

After a while, he asked Li Qi, "If you have such a vision, you must know that there will be strife, why do you still do it?" ”

Li Qi asked rhetorically: "The general is from Yuzhou?" ”

Ding Shengjia nodded: "I am." ”

Li Qi said: "I am from Jizhou."

Ding Shengjia said: "So? ”

Li Qi said: "So the general shouldn't ask." ”

Ding Shengjia asked, "You are also a soldier?" ”

Li Qi shook his head: "No." ”

Ding Shengjia said: "Inside and outside this inn, the guards are heavily guarded, whether it is the position of your people or their formation, they are all military formations. ”

Li Qi said: "They are soldiers. ”

Ding Shengjia frowned: "Soldiers are employed by businessmen, shame." ”

Li Qi smiled and didn't answer, just glanced at Ding Shengjia.

Ding Shengjia frowned again: "I am not employed by a businessman. ”

Li Qi still didn't speak.

After a while, Ding Shengjia got up: "If I give the order to attack, both will lose." ”

Li Qi snorted: "You care about the life and death of your soldiers, and I care too." ”

Ding Shengjia said: "My subordinates are all elites, and so are your people, and if you fight, many people will die." ”

Li Qi said: "General, please go back." ”

Ding Shengjia asked, "Return the carriage and horses." ”

Li Qi shook his head.

Ding Shengjia said: "Your people took advantage of the terrain to defend and took the lead, but how can you not go out of the city?" The land of the plains, your people, is no match for me. ”

Li Qi said: "Five or five." ”

Ding Shengjia was silent for a moment and looked at the knife he was holding in his arms.

Li Qi immediately understood.
