Chapter 156: Closed Doors
Zuo Nanzi has nothing to do, as Gongzi's guards, they do have a way to contact Gongzi, but Gongzi didn't tell them to report anything to him when he left.
Childe never sent a message to him, so they did not dare to bother him.
Zuo Yan took the paper that had been properly rolled, and then hugged his fists and said, "Yes, my subordinates will definitely convey it to the princess." β
Immediately, he bowed and retreated.
It's just that as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw two figures waiting outside the door, one of them with an anxious look on his face, it was Lixia who had just gone downstairs.
Behind her, there was Fu Yuan, who had no expression, and it was he who sent Fu Yuan to invite Lang Zhong with Lixia.
Seeing that there seemed to be something strange outside the door, Sheng Changning also walked over quickly, and as soon as Lixia saw her, his expression became more and more panicked and anxious.
"Princess, the shopkeeper doesn't allow the slaves and maids to go out, and not only that, but no one in the inn can go out......"
Lixia was about to cry, if he couldn't go out, how could he invite Lang Zhong and how could he treat Sister Bai Lu?
As if to confirm that what Lixia said was true, after she finished speaking, Fu Yuan, who was standing behind Lixia, nodded at Sheng Changning and Zuo Nan.
"How so?"
Sheng Changning frowned when she heard this, and suddenly thought of something, she asked again, "Could it be that something happened outside?" β
No matter where the inn is, there should be no reason to detain guests without authorization, either there is a warrant from the government, and it is necessary to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to investigate the case, or there is an accident outside.
These two speculations, for them who are now in a hurry, will undoubtedly do more harm than good.
However, judging from the looks and words of Sheng Changning and Lixia, it doesn't seem to be the former.
"Princess."
Zuo Nan, who had been watching for a while, also frowned slightly at this time, he clasped his fists at Sheng Changning, and he said, "My subordinates will take someone to visit first." β
Sheng Changning had no reason not to be, nodded, Zuo Nan and Fu Yuan explained a few words, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Fu Yuan, who stayed behind, stood by the door, his expression tense, "The subordinates were ordered to take care of the princess, and asked the princess to stay out less today." β
Sheng Changning bowed her head slightly to express her understanding, the situation does not look optimistic now, and she has never wanted to go out to play today.
Sheng Changning first went to the next room to see Bai Lu, the little girl was very sick, her face was pale like she had never seen before, and cold sweat was constantly breaking out on her forehead, even if she was still asleep, she was often unconsciously coughing.
With such a look, Sheng Changning couldn't help but be silent.
Female official Mo had been wiping the cold sweat on Bai Lu's forehead with a wet handkerchief that had been scalded in hot water, and when she saw Sheng Changning, she hurriedly covered the sadness in her eyes and got up to salute.
Sheng Changning raised his hand to signal her to get up, her eyebrows had been wrinkled since Fang Cai, and she never let go, Sheng Changning said calmly: "Looking at Bai Lu's situation, I want to call Langzhong immediately." β
"The princess is kind, which is the blessing of Bai Lu's girl." Female Officer Mo heard the self-blame contained in her words, and she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with relief.
Sheng Changning's mood was solemn, she didn't stay in the white dew room for long, and then turned around and went back to her own room.
When she left, she also left Lixia behind, and asked her to take care of Bai Lu with Female Officer Mo, "Female Officer Mo will always be a little careless alone, you can also help her." β
Lixia hesitated for a moment, but still responded.
Back in the room, Sheng Changning closed the door, and Fu Yuan by the door was still standing without squinting, his hand still resting on the unsheathed scabbard at his waist.
Although his face did not show anything abnormal, Sheng Changning still saw his nervousness, and the door closed.
Sheng Changning stopped in place and thought for a while, and then she suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly to the window.
Her room was on the third floor, and she had an excellent view of the inn, and if she lowered her eyes slightly, she could see the view of the long street in front of the inn.
Sheng Changning's fingertips unconsciously attached to the window coffin, and the texture of the wooden coffin was not as smooth and soft as the material in the palace, and it even felt a little sharpened and painful when stroked.
On the long street, the group of people carrying swords, all wearing patrol uniforms, came and went in a hurry, even if Sheng Changning was some distance away from them, he could see the condensation and urgency around them.
The officers and men were in a hurry, but they did not encounter any obstacles along the wayβthe pedestrians, small vendors, and merchants who came and went from the north to the south to buy and sell cloth were all nowhere to be found.
Even the fabric shop opposite the inn, which had been closed late, was closed.
At this time, on the long street, except for the slight collision of the scabbards of the officers and soldiers, and the sound of kicking steps, there was no sound on the side.
It is a prelude to a storm to come.
Sheng Changning's heart suddenly fell slowly, and her eyes followed those officers and soldiers, their steps were hurried, and before they reached the end of the long street, they turned into a remote alley.
Sheng Changning forced herself to calm down, she took a cup of Bai Kai, which was already cold, and began to think carefully while sipping her throat lightly.
Something big must have happened in Qiucheng now, which made the people in the city panic, the people were all closed, and even the officers and soldiers in the city were so ready to be dispatched, which must not be easily resolved.
Can......
What is it that makes them so aggressive?
Sheng Changning originally wanted to get the topographic map that Zuo Nan asked someone to draw tomorrow, and the group immediately set off for Jiangnan.
The plan had already been set, but they couldn't calculate this sudden situation, but if they had been trapped in Qiu Cheng, Sheng Chang Mu might have passed through Qiu Cheng during his northern tour......
At that time, not only will she not talk about it if she can't see Shen Yue, but I'm afraid that her own life will be in danger - Sheng Changmu has always been suspicious, and she is a little princess, and she dares to join Sheng Changqiong to deceive him, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not think that she has any different intentions......
Thinking of this, Sheng Changqiong only felt that her brain seemed to have turned into a piece of paste again.
Just as he was thinking worriedly, suddenly, the door outside was knocked a few times, three shallow and one heavy.
This kind of tapping and knocking method is a code that Zuo Nan told her when she was in Fufeng City before, which means......
Hide, it's dangerous!
Sheng Changning's pupils shrank, and she didn't have time to think about it, she hurriedly looked around.
Outside, the already silent street suddenly felt like a pebble had been dropped in the calm lake, and it suddenly rang out!
The sound of the sword spilled through the window, like a sharp sound, breaking through the clouds and pointing straight at the eardrums.
