Chapter 66: Where We Don't Meet in Life (1)
Mu Shengbai and Mu Shengyun walked into an inn.
"Eh, two guest officers, do you need anything?" A junior who had just finished wiping the table saw the two of them coming in and hurriedly walked over, and put the long white scarf in his hand on his shoulder casually.
Mu Shengyun smiled, waved his hand, slowly walked to the counter, and said slowly, "We want to open two rooms." ”
The shopkeeper's hand with an abacus stopped when he heard the sound, looked at the two people in front of him, and showed a little embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, two guest officers, there is no room left, it's all full." ”
"Full?" Mu Shengyun frowned, "That's it, let's go to another inn and have a look." ”
After listening to him, the shopkeeper looked apologetically at them and turned away, and then calmly continued to make his unfinished calculations.
Mu Shengbai couldn't help but look back and saw that the shopkeeper had recovered the appearance he had just come in, and sighed lightly, "The second house is still full, alas." ”
Mu Shengyun looked at his somewhat depressed expression, and comfortingly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Shengbai, what's the sigh here, let's go to the next one to have a look." ”
Mu Shengbai reluctantly cheered up and said loudly: "Okay, okay, let's continue to look ahead." ”
The two of them soon arrived at another inn, and the result was exactly the same as before.
Mu Shengbai twitched the corners of his mouth, stood outside again, felt a little depressed wind blowing towards them, and said dejectedly: "How do you feel that their words and expressions are the same, it looks a little annoying." ”
Mu Shengyun shook his head a little helplessly, looking at the fact that there were still a lot of people walking on the road outside, "Probably because this auction will attract a lot of people, and the inn will be full of people." ”
Mu Shengbai shrugged, "I know, then let's continue to look for it, we can't have a place for us in the entire Fuling City." ”
Mu Shengyun naturally wouldn't refute it, but after looking for an afternoon, the result can be imagined, going in again and again, and being "kicked out" again and again.
It wasn't until he arrived at the last one that Mu Shengbai touched his head and looked up at the big four characters written, "Cloud Chasing Inn." ”
"The last one, no more, we will be outside drinking the northwest wind, with the earth as the bed and the sky as the quilt." Mu Shengbai looked at the inn in front of him with infinite emotion, and hurriedly pulled Mu Shengyun in.
"Shopkeeper, do you have two rooms?" As soon as Mu Shengbai came in, he shouted to the shopkeeper who was sorting out the account books in the distance.
When the shopkeeper came back to his senses, when he looked up, he saw that the two of them had arrived in front of them.
The shopkeeper frowned, thought for a while, as if he didn't remember, and then chose to give up, and asked Xiao Er, who was standing next to him, "Xiaoxi, are there any remaining guest rooms?" ”
Xiaoxi ran over, shook her head, and was about to speak.
Mu Shengbai knew at a glance that there was no, but he didn't want to hear the words of refusal, so he made a delicate face and said a little childishly: "Eh, don't say it yet, there are no two, and one can be fine." We've been looking for a long time. ”
Mu Shengyun stood next to him and didn't speak, just nodded in agreement, looking at Mu Shengbai with a smile in his eyes, he was still a child after all.
The shopkeeper said with a helpless expression, and shook his hand at them, "I'm sorry, two guest officers, this place is really full, and you also know that this Fuling City is going to hold an auction, and many people have booked rooms in advance a few days ago." ”
"Shopkeeper, otherwise, we will give you double the price, and let us live in the firewood room." Mu Shengbai didn't intend to give up like this, took out a piece of silver, put it on the table, and looked at the shopkeeper directly.
The shopkeeper frowned, looked at the shiny silver on the table, and swallowed his saliva, but in the end he could only shake his head and push the silver back, "Alas, guest officer, I can't accept this silver, we really don't have a guest room, and the firewood room is already occupied, I'm really sorry." ”
And Du Weizhen was also standing in this inn at this time, and recognized them at a glance, Mu Shengbai and they were talking to the shopkeeper about the guest room, and a trace of surprise crossed their eyes, these two people actually came.
"Wait, I'm willing to give up a room." A gentle voice interrupted their conversation.
Mu Shengbai turned his head in surprise and saw a handsome boy standing in front of them, with a pulse as warm as jade.
"What do you call Childe?"
"Contemptible surname Lin." Du Weizhen lowered his eyes slightly, it seemed that he did not recognize himself.
"Then what should you do Gongzi Lin?" Mu Shengbai looked at the boy in surprise and suspicion, it was a little abnormal for him to be so good to them in his life.
"It's okay, this is a friend's room, and he's leaving suddenly because of something, so it doesn't hurt to give it to you." Du Weizhen smiled lightly and explained.
Mu Shengbai raised his eyebrows, knowing that this person was really kind, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, with a grateful face, "I am really grateful, I Mu Shengbai owes you a favor." ”
"Brother Mu doesn't need to be polite." Du Weizhen waved his hand, and his gestures were full of dignity.
When Mu Shengyun saw this, he glanced at Mu Shengbai with a tacit understanding, this person's words and deeds are different from ordinary people, it seems that if there is no need, it is better to contact this person less, so as not to burn himself.
A few people smiled politely and dispersed.
At this time, the imperial city was a prosperous scene.
A study in the palace.
At this time, Du Chenliang was writing something with his pen and sleeves in a chic manner, when the knock on the door suddenly sounded, and he heard someone at the door asking to see him.
Du Chenliang didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was in the study, so no one would be bored at this time.
Where did he think that since someone was so uninteresting today, Du Chenliang couldn't help frowning, his eyes did not leave the words, slowly put down the brush in his hand, and said coldly: "Come in." ”
The subordinates outside hurriedly pushed open the door, walked in front of Du Chenliang, and knelt on the ground, "Second prince." ”
"Well, what's the urgency?" Du Chenliang didn't glance at the kneeling subordinate, but just lightly tapped his handwriting with his hand.
"Back to the second prince, the prince secretly left the palace yesterday." Subordinates report truthfully.
Du Chenliang's hand froze suddenly, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at his subordinates, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Stealing out of the palace?" ”
"Yes."
The smile on the corner of Du Chenliang's mouth instantly expanded, "Hahaha, God help me, Du Weizhen, you dare to leave the palace at this time, I really think that no one will move you!" ”
A bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and his subordinates, who had never looked up, felt the strong killing intent, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, quietly waiting for Du Chenliang's orders.
"You! Quickly lead someone to assassinate Du Weizhen, and don't expose it! This time, we must only succeed and not fail! ”
