Zu Zhenlin and the others entered the city smoothly and found a luxury inn called Su Yu, because the four of them had to stay permanently, so that Li Cao could recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and he had been too hard recently, so Zhao Ting chose this one intimately, so that everyone could rest comfortably. Zhao Ting even more generously asked for the Tianzihao courtyard of the inn, which cost fifty taels of silver a day.

The four of them followed the shopkeeper's corridor and entered a spacious and quiet courtyard. The corner of the yard is covered with fine bamboo, and there is a delicate and unique rockery, there is flowing water gurgling out of the mountain, injected into the pool at the foot of the mountain, the pool is full of blue and white water lotus, between the lotus leaves from time to time swim colorful carp, there is also aura in the water, although it is not rich, there is no obvious improvement in practice, but in this place, always absorb the aura, but can temper the body, play the effect of removing illness and prolonging life.

The shopkeeper sent the four of them to the courtyard and said respectfully: "If the guest officer has something, he only needs to gently pull the pendant hanging in the room, and there will be a clever maid to come and obey the order." Of course, if you feel troublesome and delay time, we can send two maids to live in the courtyard and be ready to be sent at any time, I don't know what the guest officer thinks?"

"No, if there's something going on, we'll call someone. Zhao Ting refused.

"Okay, then I won't bother. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned and left.

The four of them picked out their rooms, then walked into them and began to clean up. Of course, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao still live together, in order to facilitate their care, in case they go on a business trip.

The decoration in the room is simple and chic, and it does not look rich and gorgeous, but this is just the surface, and when you look closely, you will find that there is a hidden mystery. The tables, chairs and beds in the room are all made of ink fragrant wood, the wood texture is like jade, the texture is delicate, the biggest feature is that it exudes a faint fragrance over the years, and has the effect of concentrating and calming down. Moreover, the porcelain used is perfectly shaped, the glaze is soft and shiny, crystal clear, and it is definitely from a famous kiln. The calligraphy and painting in the room have their own unique charm, and they must be painted and written by everyone, which is of great value. This courtyard costs dozens of taels a day, and it is really worth it for those wealthy officials.

The four of them settled down, there was nothing to do, they just practiced every day, of course, they would not take it lightly, because there was a poisonous snake hidden in the secret that could be shot at any time. Although he got rid of him temporarily, I believe that he will soon find the trail and chase him all the way.

The deceased is like this, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The innkeeper is diligent and thoughtful, and every day before serving the food, she will come to ask the four people if they have any dishes they want to eat. If not, they will also take the initiative to recommend it, and after communication, they will notify the chef to start cooking. There are a variety of dishes for three meals a day, which are famous in the world and have local characteristics. Of course, there is also a supper, on call, no matter how late you can, it is very convenient, it costs money, and it is a lot of money, the natural inn wants to please, I just hope that the guests can stay for a few more days, after all, no one dislikes the money they earn.

The maids will also come to the courtyard to clean once a day, clean up the dirty clothes and take them to wash, they are very fine, every corner is not let go, meticulous.

These subordinates are so attentive, naturally there are rules of the inn, but Zhao Ting's reward is also indispensable, each maid and junior got a tael of silver, of course, this is not to encourage them to be more attentive, but to entrust them with one thing, in order to let them focus on completing it, that is, when someone comes to inquire about the four people, come to inform the situation in time, and don't alarm the people, if they do, Zhao Ting will also be rewarded. In the face of a heavy reward several times their monthly money, how can these servants not covet and care?

The scorching sun was in the sky and the weather was hot, Zu Zhenlin, Li Cao and Zhao Ting drank tea and rested in the water pavilion, and Leng Xue rested alone in the house. Although the four of them have been together for a long time, Leng Xue is reluctant to chat together when she has nothing to do because of her cold and withdrawn temperament, and only gets together when they discuss plans. Zhao Ting knew her senior sister's temper, and she was a little helpless in her heart, so she decided to take her time when Teacher Lin Song wanted to change Leng Xue's idea. It is also because she understands the temperament of Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao, and knows that the two are kind and open-minded and will not be careful, so she will take Leng Xue with her on this trip. Of course, when Zhao Ting got along with the three of them, she apologized many times and asked the two to take care of them. Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao didn't care, reassuring her.

A handsome little second ran into the courtyard with a smile on his face, and came to Zu Zhenlin and the three of them, panting slightly, "Miss Zhao, someone just came to the store to inquire about your situation." ”

When Zhao Ting heard this, her heart moved, and she asked, "Is the person still here?"

Xiao Er shook his head and said, "It's not there, that person just asked a few words when he was drinking, and then left in a hurry." ”

Zhao Ting asked, "What does that person look like?"

Xiao Er replied: "That person is about forty years old and obese. Oh, by the way, he's got a beard on his face. ”

When Zhao Ting heard this, she frowned slightly, and said to herself in her heart, could it be that after Hu Tu changed his appearance, he personally came to check on him, and then vetoed his own idea, when the situation was unclear, Hu Tu would not take such a risk.

Seeing that Zhao Ting didn't speak, Xiao Er couldn't help but whisper: "Since I got Miss Zhao's orders, I ran to the front of the store to guard when I was fine, just thinking about doing something for the girl, we can't be sorry for the heavy reward you gave, aren't we?

Zhao Ting smiled slightly, understood the meaning of his words, took out a tael of silver, and said: "It's really hard for you, next time if that person comes again, help me drag him down, I will have a heavy reward." Of course, this time is still hard for you, help me see if anyone else comes to us. ”

Xiao Er saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, sure enough, it was Miss Gongzi from a rich and noble family, she was generous, and she didn't work hard in vain, she took the silver with both hands, and said respectfully: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, I will keep an eye on you, and I will never let go of any clues." ”

Zhao Ting smiled: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

Xiao Er won the reward, his attitude was more deferential, and he said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's my honor to do things for you." If not, I'll step back and leave them resting. ”

Zhao Ting said: "No, you go and do your business." ”

Xiao Er bowed again, then turned to leave.

When the others walked out of the courtyard, Zu Zhenlin said: "It seems that our brother Hu is really persevering, we have gone to such great lengths, but we still let him find it, he doesn't plan to let us go." ”

Zhao Ting said with a smile: "He practices the same kind of exercise as me, so he naturally knows the value of this strange fruit in my hand, how can he give it up so easily?"

Li Cao worried: "Now that he has found us, and he is in the dark, we are in the light, it is not easy to deal with it, we have to be more careful." ”

Zhao Ting said: "It's okay, in this city, he doesn't dare to mess around." I chose to come to this city because of the strength of its guards, the strict laws under its rule, all private fights are prohibited in the city, and if anyone dares to violate it, it will be abolished at least and lose their lives at worst, unless the strength is stronger than the defenders in the city. I don't think he is so powerful, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get to this Zhaoyang City. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being careful, from today onwards, we will start to take turns to keep vigil, Li Cao, you still have peace of mind to recuperate, don't worry about anything else, just leave it to the three of us. ”

Li Cao nodded helplessly.

Zu Zhenlin said: "It's really difficult for him to hide in the shadows all the time, we still have to find him out." ”

Zhao Ting nodded yes, "That's what I plan, Hu Tu will definitely find someone to investigate our situation, when the time comes, let's not startle the snake, quietly find his hiding place, and then we hide, and wait for him to get out of the city, find an opportunity to take revenge." ”

Zu Zhenlin was a little guilty: "But how can we hide under the noses of others and not let him find out?"

Zhao Ting smiled, "This is going to trouble Senior Sister Leng Xue, Senior Sister She has unique skills, her disguise technique can be said to be ingenious, without the slightest flaw, and when we find Hu Tu, we will change our appearance and hide from the world." ”

Zu Zhenlin smiled: "It seems that you have a plan." ”

Zhao Ting said in a deep voice: "Hmph, since the opponent is despicable and shameless, and he hurts people behind his back, how can he be easily let go? There are many buildings in the city, and the crowd is mixed, and when Li Cao's injury is healed, we will not attract attention, and at that time it is conducive to us to hide, and we are insatiable and unrepentant to give us this opportunity for revenge, and we should not let it go easily. ”

Zu Zhenlin also hated Hu Tu's despicability and ruthlessness very much, "Don't worry, if you catch Hu Tu this time, you will definitely not let him go." ”

Li Cao reminded: "Nonsense is cunning, and we must not be careless." ”

Zhao Ting agreed: "Yes, let's be careful. ”

After the three of them agreed, they began to prepare.

---

As the sun sets, the afterglow falls on the water, sparkling and glittering with gold. Lin Xi stood in the pavilion, holding on to the railing, staring at the pool in a daze.

A charming woman walked into the pavilion, looked at Lin Xi's back, her eyes were a little dazed, but after a while, she returned to normal, and said, "It looks like your body is fine, why don't you want to live?"

When Lin Xi heard the woman's voice, he didn't turn around, and said helplessly: "What's the use of not being alive?"

The charming woman walked up to Lin Xi, handed him a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "It's useless, but if you want to die, you can't die like this." Why don't you let my sister help you and let you experience what it's like to be a man?"

Lin Xi turned his head to look at this former partner and asked, "Sister Liu, are you so happy?"

When Liu Yan heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Let's talk about being happy or unhappy like this, it's a day when we're comfortable." ”

Lin Xi didn't speak again, but his face was full of bitterness.

Liu Yan continued: "Okay, anyway, there are no more days, just bear with it, since you are here, you have to do something." ”

Lin Xi nodded, still not speaking.

Liu Yan leaned into Lin Xi's ear, blew lightly, and said temptingly: "You really don't need my sister to help you? ”

Lin Xi was unmoved, and calmly took a sip of wine.

Yoo-yeon stopped teasing him and turned to leave.
