Chapter 103: Water Cloud Residence
At this time, most of the wine shops and teahouses in Chengbeifang City have long been closed, except for a few lights swaying in the wind, there are few people to be seen. The carriage of the Vientiane tribe drove quickly through the cold streets and came to a corner that was only two streets away from the north gate.
An ugly-looking old man stood at the corner of the street with a lantern in his hand, bent over to look at the stone building archway not far away, and heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually getting bigger, and his face showed a trace of happiness.
When Jian Yu and the others were waiting in the south of the city, the guard of the Vientiane tribe had already explained clearly, and the store also cleaned the inn, and the hunchbacked old man was the doorman of the inn, and he was specially present to wait.
After half an hour, the convoy finally came to the end of the street, and everyone got off the carriage one after another, and Yun Ruowu and Jian Mingyue stepped out of the carriage one after the other. A few feet away, Jian Yu was talking to the old man.
"Uncle Wu, this subordinate of mine has already made it clear to you," Jian Yu looked calm, and the corners of his eyes carefully looked at the dark corners of the surroundings, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he had a good conversation with the hunchbacked old man in front of him.
"My lord..."Wu Laohan looked up and down the clothes of the young man in front of him, wearing a light ink robe, he really couldn't see the appearance of an official, and he really couldn't think of why he called the guards behind him subordinates. Adults can rest assured, the small shop is absolutely safe, and the people who can live here are all Qingyuan people, who have been farming here for generations. β
At this time, the old man at the door of the inn didn't dare to ask more, after all, he was able to get unimpeded in Qingyuan City after dark, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Senior Brother Yu still hasn't gone in?" Yun Ruowu walked over quickly, taking advantage of the light in the cold wind, he glanced at the old man beside him, and was so frightened that he hurriedly twisted his head to the side, and Wu Laohan's extremely ugly face was frightened.
Yun Ruowu panicked, hurriedly held the sword Shenyue on the side, and kept waving his right hand.
Jian Mingyue patted Yun Ruowu's shoulder, not noticing Wu Laohan's appearance, and asked in surprise, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Wasn't it okay just now? β
"Alright, don't waste it here." Jian Yu already understood why Yun Ruowu was suddenly like this, and glared at Jian Shenyue, "Hurry up and enter the inn, didn't you just make a fuss about finding a place to rest?" β
"Yes, yes, yes" Wu Laohan didn't care, and shouted to Xiao Er at the door, "Quickly take a few objective people to the prepared wing room and boil hot water." β
"Well, don't worry when you're old." The two sturdy little guys at the door of the inn rushed out very energetically, their eyes were extremely sharp, and they could see that Yun Ruowu and the others were the real masters in the faint light. Immediately greet him.
Jian Shenyue nodded, and helped Yun Ruowu to hurriedly walk into the inn with the guards who carried the salute on the side.
"Uncle Wu, don't be surprised. My junior brother, heβ" Jian Yu explained embarrassedly, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to Wu Laohan as a gift of reparation.
"It's okay, the shopkeeper can take me in because he values my terrifying face." Wu Laohan didn't go to his heart, pushed away the ingot of silver handed over by Jian Yu with both hands, and led the way in front, "My lord, please inside, although our Shui Yunju is simple, it has everything." β
"Good, good, good." Although Jian Yu said three "good" in his mouth, his footsteps were very slow, Wu Laohan had already walked to the door of the inn, his eyes still kept sweeping the dark places around him, and only after making sure that there was no potential danger did he move his steps to follow. "Shui Yunju, a good name, presumably the store must be an elegant person."
