Chapter 41 Smooth entry into the city
A fight is over, but the two killers are dead, Rongjin is a little regretful, and he still wants to catch a live mouth to see who is so ignorant of life and death. She vaguely felt in her heart that it should be the crown prince, if she could catch her alive and go back, she would sue him in front of the emperor and frustrate his spirit.
Shen Yanzhi hurriedly stepped forward, put his hands on Rongjin's shoulders, turned left and right, his eyes moved from top to bottom, and he was relieved to see that there was no trace on his shirt except for some dust.
Rongjin was a little embarrassed, broke free gently, glanced at him, and whispered, "What are you doing?" So many people! β
"I'm not afraid you'll get hurt! Check and check to rest assured. Shen Yanzhi's eyes were full of anxiety, and when the woman released the secret weapon towards Rongjin, he pinched a cold sweat in his heart, but fortunately, she was safe and sound.
Rong Jin's face flushed, his heart beat hard, and he hurriedly tilted his head, avoiding his burning gaze.
Shen Yanzhi smiled.
He looked down at the two corpses lying on the ground, his face was cold, and he secretly said in his heart, This is what you sent to the door to find death, and you can't complain about me. Who else could be the mastermind of this assassination besides the prince in the palace? He couldn't be around for long, and the corners of Shen Yanzhi's mouth pulled up a smile, looking a little crazy.
Su Jin held his cheek with one hand, looked at Rongjin, and asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "How do you see that there is something wrong with this beggar?" β
Rong Jin put his hands behind his back, pretending to be profound: "His posture of holding the bowl is not quite right, and he doesn't often ask for food at first glance." β
Lu Weixin came out and felt that he had seen a lot, and said in surprise: "Is this posture of asking for food still exquisite?!" As he spoke, he also performed live, deliberately bending over and limping, "Look, is this posture right?" β
Lu Weixin looked strong, which was a little funny, which made Rongjin laugh out loud, and others couldn't help laughing.
Su Jin admired it in his heart, and he sighed: "There is no end to learning! I still need to learn more from Miss Li in the future! β
Seeing that these two people were so easily bluffed, Rong Jin couldn't help but be a little proud: "Call Master, what you have learned all your life will be taught!" β
Su Jin scratched his head, a little embarrassed, no matter how he said it, he was older than Rongjin, called a little girl master, how could he mix it after it was passed out.
Shen Yanzhi smiled dotingly, and gently flicked Rongjin's forehead, "Naughty!" Don't listen to her nonsense, you must have seen his hand, right? He has a thick cocoon on his hands, and at first glance he looks like a practitioner. β
Shen Yanzhi only remembered it later, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.
"That's right!" Rong Jin rubbed his forehead, glared at him, and explained: "Look at his smooth and white skin except for his face, where he looks like a begging for food." I don't have to do all the work. β
Lu Weixin said again: "It's a pity that they are all dead, and I can't ask anything, alas! He glanced at the corpse on the ground, the woman had a strange death, two long black blood stains hanging under her nostrils, and she looked a little disgusting. He couldn't help but say, "But what kind of poison did this woman eat, and her death was too ugly." β
Lu Weixin looked at Shen Yanzhi again, and looked left and right: "Brother Shen, are you too ostentatious, so you are worried about thieves." β
Shen Yanzhi nodded very cooperatively, making a melancholy look: "Yes! It's also troublesome to be too handsome. β
Everyone: "......"
Shen Yanzhi urged everyone to set off: "Let's go!" This Yizhou matter cannot be delayed. If the trip is delayed because of my handsomeness, it will not be good. β
Everyone: "......"
Three days later, the group came to the gate of Yizhou. The road was quite peaceful, they were on guard day and night, taking turns to keep vigil, but fortunately there were no more assassinations.
The gates of the city were tall and majestic, and there stood a line of guarded soldiers, who were checking the people entering and leaving the city one by one. Shen Yanzhi shouted to stop everyone: "Wait, don't show your identity first, the situation in the city is still unclear, let's enter the city as ordinary people first." β
Su Jin nodded in agreement, "Brother Shen is right, otherwise the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light." β
Others agreed.
"But if we don't reveal our identities, how can we enter the city?" Lu Weixin asked.
Rong Jin said: "This little thing is wrapped up in me." Wait here for me for half an hour. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Lu Weixin: "This- she won't steal it, will she?" β
Su Jin corrected: "We don't call stealing, this is called borrowing." When we're done with it, we'll return it. β
Lu Weixin muttered in his heart, not asking if he was stealing, why did he borrow it again.
In less than half an hour, Rong Jin came back with a bag of things, "Come on!" Good luck. There are exactly six of them, and there are six people in this baggage, and we can go in. β
The group entered the city without a hitch.
It's justβ
The appearance of this city is not quite the same as imagined!
The scene in the city was very depressed. The streets are covered with yellowing leaves, the streets are not a market, and the doors of every house are closed.
"This, Yizhou is a big city in the south! When did it become like this? Chen Li had been in Yizhou before, and the scene in front of him was far from the Yizhou he remembered, and he couldn't believe it.
Su Jin said: "This Yizhou is a prosperous place for border trade, this-"
Shen Yanzhi said lightly: "Find an inn first and rest your feet." Deliberate again. β
It is not a simple matter to find an inn, almost no shops in the market are open for business, and the group almost turned around the entire Yizhou before they found an inn, which even had a plaque demolished.
The store was deserted and empty, except for a middle-aged man napping on the counter.
Rongjin knocked on the table.
The shopkeeper was excited, and habitually wiped the corners of his mouth, but fortunately, he didn't leave saliva, and there were several sons and girls in brocade clothes standing in front of him.
"Shopkeeper, stay in the store." Rongjin took out the silver ingot, put it on the table, and made a crisp sound.
The shopkeeper's originally squinted eyes lit up, and the last time he met such a generous guest was a few months ago. "Yes! Arrange the best room for you now! β
Lu Weixin turned around roughly, and the tables and chairs were covered with dust, which showed that he had not been cleaned for a long time: "Shopkeeper, you have cleaned this inn, I wiped it casually, it was all dust." As he spoke, he raised his hands to show the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper shrugged his head and sighed: "Guest officer, you don't know, I haven't had a guest here for a long time." You're outsiders, aren't you? β
Su Jin said: "Can this be seen? β
"It's not a foreigner, who will run to Yizhou, look at the city gate, there is a queue to go out of the city every day."
The shopkeeper took out a large bunch of keys from the drawer and led everyone upstairs, only to find that the shopkeeper was inconvenient to walk.
So Rongjin asked: "Such a big inn, why don't you invite a shopkeeper to run errands?" β
"Hey, don't say it. Most of the people in Yizhou City have run out, and the taxes are so heavy that our people can't straighten their waists. When he mentioned this, he shook his head helplessly, his face full of sorrow.
