"Yes, I'm suspicious of him. However, there is no need to deliberately prevent it. Everyone has their own secrets, and even to trusted companions, they don't say them casually. Besides, how long have we known each other? I think it's almost time, and I should choose to leave."
Ning Yue smiled and looked at Dihu, so that he couldn't say the name that came to his lips.
Dihu nodded again, and then asked, "Then, if he really has that strength, why would he wait for us to save him and not escape by himself?" ”
"Sneak attack, one-on-one may be enough. But in a head-to-head confrontation, with fewer enemies and more enemies, I'm afraid it won't work. If you expose your strength, if you fail, you will lose all opportunities. Besides, I'm just saying that there is something suspicious about him, and I haven't confirmed that it was the arrow he shot. At least, no matter day or night, on him, I didn't feel the fluctuation of the aura that was not weak. ”
"Okay. I won't tell anyone about it, but I'll keep an eye on him. Perhaps, he has no malicious intentions, but we can't be without a sense of precaution. ”
……
Five days later, it was a day of joy for the caravan, who had left the Desert Gate Pass and arrived in their first town. Originally, this horse drinking station was just a relatively remote town, but because of its proximity to the water source, caravans often chose to stop here on the nearby trade routes, and it gradually became a bustling and bustling town.
Ditong's caravan had just entered the town, and someone had already greeted him, but it was the shopkeeper of the inn on the side. Judging from the familiarity of the conversation between the two, they must have been familiar with each other for a long time.
Soon, more men came out of the inn and helped to bring the caravan into the backyard of the inn, feeding the horses and unloading the goods.
From Dihu's mouth, he learned that a small part of the goods transported this time were sent to this drinking horse post. It's not an informal deal, it's just a request for help from someone you know.
Soon night fell, and after packing up, everyone had dinner, and after exchanging a few glances with several guards in the corner, they walked out of the inn with a grin. Seeing their appearance, Ditong just told him that he would have to hurry tomorrow and not play too late.
Enjoying the tea that he hadn't been able to taste for several days, Ning Yue glanced at the more than ten people and wondered, "What are they going to do?" ”
In this regard, Di Hu grinned and said, "Of course I went to have fun." Don't look at this drinking horse post is not big, because it receives caravans all the year round, they are all lonely and rich lords on the road, so there are many places for recreation. Qinglou wine shop, gambling bath, everything. I think a few of them are like that, they should go to the Qinglou. In the past, I may have been able to bear it, but along the way, accompanied by a few women, I could only look at it but not touch it, and I must have been uncomfortable for a long time. ”
Hearing this, Meng Ye, who was helping Ning Yue fill the teacup on the side, suddenly trembled, and quickly lowered his head, as if he was a little resistant to this topic.
Not noticing his changes, Ning Yue said again: "Why, don't you go with you?" ”
With an embarrassed face, Di Hu glanced to the side, got closer and muttered softly: "My dad can watch over there, he doesn't care about other people, but if I'm ...... He must have been angry. ”
"I see, it's not that I don't want to go, but I don't dare to go." Ning Yue shook his head and smiled, and suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that the five women who were traveling with him came to Di Tong together, whispering something, the latter nodded immediately, but raised his hand again, and it landed on his side.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Yue hurriedly got up and asked, and walked to Di Tong.
A woman wanted to answer, but saw that Ditong seemed to be about to reply, and hurriedly shrank back.
"The drinking water is barely enough along the way, and the washing water is as frugal as possible, we big men may have nothing to do with it, but they are women after all, they love to be clean, and they haven't bathed for a long time. I just heard from the guy in the store that there is a big communal bath on the street in front of me, so come and tell me if you can go there. ”
Ditton smiled, took out a few silver coins from his bosom and slapped them on the table.
"If the little brother Ning Yue is okay at night, take them with you. It's not a quiet town either, and if they walk the streets on their own, they're likely to cause unnecessary trouble. So ......"
"Understood. Coincidentally, I was also going to call the guys in the store to prepare a bucket of hot water for a bath, but now it is more enjoyable to go directly to the bath. ”
Ning Yue didn't pick up the silver coins auctioned by Di Tong, and he didn't have any money on him, and on the frontier of all nations, the Snow Dragon Empire, as one of the strongest empires, minted coins were recognized except for the territory of several hostile empires.
"Meng Ye, don't clean up, let's go together. And Dihu, I see you're okay, let's go. Oh no, go back to your room and bring a change of clothes. ”
Dihu smiled and got up, looking casual. However, Meng Ye suddenly looked surprised, and nodded again and again, as if he was very excited about this.
The inn is not far from the big bath, but the five women walking together are still too conspicuous, and some people sigh and point along the way, which also makes Ning Yue understand why Di Tong must take them out with him. However, those people were only muttering to the side after all, and no one had come up recklessly to stand in the way.
The person who can appear in this horse drinking post must not be alone, and before the strength of the forces behind it is clearly understood, reckless action is likely to cause huge trouble. They know it in their hearts.
"The large bath has ten copper coins per person, divided into men and women, and there are also shared baths. The private room has five silver coins, and it is no problem to accommodate six or seven people. ”
At the door of the bathhouse, the hosts greeted Ning Yue and them unusually.
"Of course, it's a shared bath!"
Ditton shouted excitedly, and couldn't wait to find ten copper coins from his clothes. However, before the hand was handed out, it was stopped by Ning Yue.
"Are you stupid? I think it's all men who think the same thing as you, and there won't be women. ”
As soon as these words came out, the five women all sneered, and even Meng Ye also smiled slightly.
Then, Ning Yue glanced at the costumes of the people entering and exiting the bath, and finally handed out six silver coins.
"Give them a single room for the five of them, and for the three of us, the big bath will be enough."
The women who come in and out here don't look like people to be messed with, and some of them are even as fierce as men between their eyebrows. Let the five women in the caravan and those women go to a bath, Ning Yue thought about it or forget it, who knows if there will be any unexpected conflicts at that time.
He knew that these five women would not cause trouble, but it was impossible to say whether the other women would take the initiative to stir up trouble.
"That Lord Ning Yue, there's no need to be so expensive, just an ordinary bath." One of the women hurriedly shook her head, as she had thought that silver coins were valuable.
"It's okay, it's not easy for you to follow all the way. I can still afford to pay for it. ”
Ning Yue smiled and made a look to signal the entertainer to collect money to arrange.
Who knows, he suddenly felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and when he looked back, he saw Meng Ye standing aside with his head down, looking like he wanted to say something.
Seeing this, Dihu teased: "What's the matter, don't you want to be with them?" ”
"Of course not!"
Meng Ye hurriedly retorted, put aside his face, and muttered in a low voice, "That...... I'm not used to being with other people, can I do the same...... Get a private room? ”
"Isn't it? It's all men, and you're still shy? Di Hu grinned, leaned over to Meng Ye's side, and attached it to his ear.
"Don't worry, even if there is something unspeakable, everyone is a man, and they won't say it casually."
The next moment, his face was pushed away by Ning Yue's raised hand.
"To be honest, I'm not used to it. It's better to open two private rooms, and the three of us together, it may be too spacious, but it's also more comfortable. ”
Immediately afterward, he handed out a few more silver coins and threw them to the host.
Looking at Ning Yue, and then at Meng Ye's appearance with his head down, Di Hu suddenly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm still not with you, you like a single room, just go." ”
"What do you think?" Ning Yue snorted, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"No, no, no, you're thinking too much. In the big bath, a group of people from all over the world get together and chat, which is actually very interesting. People, a lot of them are like this, there are some words hidden in the heart in the face of acquaintances, but in the face of strangers, they can't stop all of a sudden. ”
With a big grin, Dihu left ten copper coins behind and walked into the bath alone.
"Inexplicable."
Ning Yue shrugged his shoulders, since Di Hu was unwilling, he naturally wouldn't force it, so he had to greet Meng Ye again.
"Let's go."
"That, with Lord Ning Yue?"
Meng Ye muttered, still keeping his head down, as if his shoulders were still trembling slightly.
"Isn't it? You don't want to either? Ning Yue was stunned.
"No, no, no, how could it be? That's good, too. ”
After a while, after saying goodbye to the five women, Ning Yue took Meng Ye to the single room they had chartered, even if it was just a dressing room, he could also feel a trace of the heat brought by the steaming mist, which was very comfortable in winter.
"If you think about it, it's been a long time since I arrived at the border gate, and I haven't taken a shower."
"Huh? Lord Ning Yue is saying, border pass? ”
Ning Yue nodded, suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "That's right, I didn't tell you where I came from." ”
"Actually, Lord Ning Yue doesn't say it, and I can see that you and the caravan are not all the way at all. This time, it should just be a step by the way. They have a kind of respect for Director Ditong and a kind of awe for you. ”
Meng Ye muttered, and suddenly, his face turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head.
"That-Lord Ning Yue, why did you suddenly undress?"
"Huh?"
The action stopped, and Ning Yue was surprised: "Are you still wearing clothes in the shower?" ”
"Of course not. It's just, before you take it off, say hello, right? Meng Ye shook his head again and again, but he didn't dare to look at Ning Yue's side again.
Ning Yue smiled helplessly and said, "Isn't it?" Even if people in some places are not used to bathing together in a large bath, there are just the two of us here, and you are still shy? ”
"I haven't bathed with anyone since I was 10 years old. So...... So, Lord Ningyue, I'd better go inside. ”
Leaving these words, Meng Ye rushed to the compartment inside in a panic and instantly closed the door.
"Is it necessary? It's like a little girl. ”
Ning Yue smiled again, unimpressed.
When he entered the innermost bathroom, he saw Meng Ye, who was huddled in the corner with his back to the door, and he was still draped in a bath towel, covering most of his body. However, judging from the parts that could not be fully blocked, his skin was very white, and it could even be said to make the woman feel jealous.
"That...... Lord Ning Yue, don't lean over, okay? ”
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Meng Ye trembled again, and his voice was fragmented.
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you like. I have a quid pro quo, though. ”
"What?"
Suddenly, Meng Ye's face flushed.
