Chapter 118: Soaring Like a Meteor
When the store opened the door, the others had already retreated to the back of the lobby, observing the movement outside through a crack in the door. Coming in were two rough-looking men, both of whom were drenched in the rain and looked like they had come all the way. After entering, the two of them put the large box they were carrying on the ground, the box seemed to be very heavy, and they both breathed a sigh of relief when they put it down.
"Two guest officers, there are indeed no rooms in the shop, so I can only aggrieved the two of them to rest in the lobby." The boss gave them a smile.
The two guests waved their hands unconcernedly: "No problem, just get some food for our brothers." ”
The boss turned around to go to the kitchen as instructed, but suddenly remembered what Yifang asked him to ask, so he turned around and went back: "Did you see a girl when the two guest officers came over?" ”
"What girl?" The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then joked, "It's raining so hard that you can't even see the road clearly, and the store is still thinking about the little girl?" ”
The boss smiled shyly: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." ”
When the boss went to the kitchen, he was passing by the door that gathered everyone's attention, and shook his head gently towards the Yifang inside.
If they knocked on the door after going out for a while, it is very likely that they didn't see it. But Yifang was always vigilant in her heart, and the big box brought by these two guests made her feel a little crazy.
"Miss Dou, what are we going to do now?" Teng Ling still has the proprietress in his hand.
Yifang glanced at the proprietress and said, "Let's take her down and watch it first!" ”
At this moment, the two guests outside did not know what to say, and one of them seemed to be a little angry and kicked the box. He kicked the box very hard, and the direction of the kick changed a little, and the mouth of the box was just aimed at the Yifang women. In the crack between the mouth of the box, there was a white corner of clothes.
Yifang was shocked, when Chu Ruofang left, he was wearing white clothes. Could it be that these two people had bad intentions, and when they met Chu Ruo on the way, they robbed her and put her in this big box? Although he just had such an idea and was not sure, Yifang decided to take a look for himself. If it is not Chu Ruo, it must be other women in distress.
"Zili, there should be people in their box, let's find a chance to take a look." At this time, Tengling had already taken the proprietress to the upper room, leaving only Yifang and Zili, as well as the family who had not been affected by the sweat medicine.
"What about me?" The family was frightened and followed them closely.
"Go back to your room and rest, there's no danger now."
"But I'm afraid."
Yifang turned around and faced her seriously: "If you are afraid now, when you arrive at the palace of the king in the future, there will be times when you are afraid." ”
After leaving this sentence, Yifang and Zili didn't care about her anymore, and stared intently at the movements of the two people outside. The argument between the two seemed to continue, but after a while, they came to an agreement to carry the large box to the backyard together. This inn is not large, it is said to be a backyard, but in fact it is just a small open space, covered with some tiles to protect it from the wind and rain.
The two of them placed the box in the backyard to their liking, not much from the lobby, but separated by a door. If the door is closed, it will be difficult for the movement in the backyard to reach the lobby.
Yifang Kazuko took a long detour and tiptoed to the backyard. During this period, it took a lot of time, and the boss had already served food and wine to the two of them, and they were eating so well that they shouldn't notice this.
The box had a lock, but it wasn't locked, as if it had been deliberately opened. Yifang had a trace of doubt in his heart, but the person had already arrived here, if he didn't open it to see, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?
"Zili, you stay behind me, be careful not to let others approach." Yifang commanded, and reached for the lock.
The iron lock was cold in his hand, and Yifang was excited, and a trace of apprehension suddenly passed through his heart. She took the lock open and carefully lifted the box.
Sure enough, there was a woman lying on her side inside, she was facing away from Yifang, and she couldn't see her face, but fortunately, seeing that her figure was not Chu Ruo, Yifang breathed a sigh of relief. The woman estimated that she was also a poor person who had been taken captive by those two, and Yifang wanted to help her, so she reached out to wake her up.
But just as Yi Fang's hand touched the woman, she suddenly turned around, pulled out a short sword out of nowhere, and stabbed at Yi Fang.
"Yifang, be careful!" Zili was quick to leave her eyes, and quickly pulled her away, and threw a handful of medicinal powder at the woman with his backhand, blinding her eyes.
"How are you?" Zili hurriedly took a step back to protect Yifang.
"I'm fine." Yifang saw that even though the woman was blinded, she could still jump out of the box with ease, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Zili, quick, let's go to the lobby, everyone may be in danger." Yi Fang pulled Zi back from the original way, and explained to her, "This woman and those two guests are in a group, and they deliberately let this woman hide in the box, and the corner of her clothes is also deliberately exposed, just to attract the attention of others. The lock deliberately pretended to have forgotten to lock it, just because she wanted someone to come and check it, and the woman could subdue the person by surprise. ”
"Why are they doing this?" The child is incomprehensible.
"Of course, I want to kill people for money." Yifang sighed, "These two people are also the same as the boss and his wife, and now they have come together." ”
Hurried to the lobby, there was chaos in front of me. As Yifang expected, the two guests began to fight after they were full, and they had already fought with the boss. It's just unexpected that Teng Ling and the proprietress are also among them, and the five of them are fighting together, if they can't tell who they want to deal with.
Yifang knew that he couldn't distract Teng Ling's attention at this time, so he and Zi couldn't make a sound, just stood aside and quietly observed their battle situation. If they are one-on-one, they should not be Tengling's opponents. But now in the scuffle, the sword has no eyes, Teng Ling is bare-handed, although he is still neat, but he is a little struggling.
After a few people struggled for a while, Zili saw the opportunity to approach them, and repeated the old trick and sprinkled the medicine powder over. She deliberately avoided Tengling, but only hit one person, and the scene became even more chaotic.
The sweat medicine that the boss and his wife took in the food at night was only effective for an hour or two, and Qin Hong and the others gradually woke up, and when they heard the sound of fighting in the lobby, they all gathered here. In the end, it was the professionally trained escort team, even if there were still residual sequelae of sweat medicine on their bodies, they quickly subdued several people.
"I thought it was just a small shop on the way, but I didn't expect it to be a black shop." Qin Hong ordered someone to tie up the two guests, and walked to the boss and his wife, "There have been rumors of eating people in the forest next to it over the years, it must be your black shop, right?" ”
The boss and his wife lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, but looking at their expressions, they had already acquiesced in this matter.
"These two are with you, too?" Qin Hong pointed his sword at the two guests.
"If we're in a group, do we still need to fight?" The proprietress muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Early tomorrow morning, these people will be handed over to the government." After Qin Hong finished instructing his subordinates, he said to the family members and maidservants gathered in the hall, "Everyone go back and rest!" ”
"Wait." Yifang finally stood up, "Leader Qin, those two people also have a female accomplice, who was in the backyard just now, and now I don't know where to hide." If left unchecked, everyone may be in danger. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Hong's expression really became serious again, and he looked up and down the Yifang several times before sending people to look for them everywhere in the inn. The woman was very good at hiding, and she watched such a big commotion in the lobby that she would never show up even if her companion was caught. Because they couldn't find this woman, everyone didn't dare to go back to the room to rest, so they gathered in the lobby to rest for a while.
Just as everyone was drowsy, there was a violent knock on the door outside. It was clearly not like a guest, but like someone was trying to destroy the door. Yifang was also startled by this sound, and when he looked outside, the sky was already beginning to brighten.
"You two go open the door." Qin Hong used the tip of his knife to pick up the rope that tied the boss and his wife.
In the face of such a violent knock on the door, the boss and his wife couldn't help but be a little trembling, there were so many things happening tonight, no one knew who was outside. The boss and the proprietress exchanged glances, but after all, the boss stood up nervously and slowly moved towards the door.
But before he could move to the door, the door was knocked open by someone outside, and at once a dozen people with a dozen packages broke in. They had only their eyes exposed, and they all held long swords and knives in their hands, and as soon as they entered, they brandished their swords and slashed at the crowd. They attack people at sight, almost indiscriminately trying to put everyone to death.
Although Qin Hong had made preparations in advance, he didn't expect them to be so brutal, so his resistance was a beat slower. The two guests were still tied with ropes, and they couldn't take care of it at this time, so the two of them became two dust specks in the chaos, and they could only hide desperately to avoid being injured by mistake without an eye on the sword.
Yi Fang directed her family and maidservants to run to the backyard, and she remembered that there was a door in the backyard leading outside, and the carriage was also parked not far behind. Now is not the time to pretend to be stupid, when your life is in danger, these details are not taken care of.
"Leader Qin, let's go around and get into the carriage first, and then you get out and come over." Yifang shouted, and then hurriedly ran to the backyard with Zili and Tengling.
But as soon as they reached the backyard, they found a person in front of them, the woman who had jumped out of the box earlier.
