It was already evening when Li Mingyun returned to the inn.

The inn is brightly lit, and the beams and staircases are all red and yellow lanterns, shining on people's faces, which are unusually soft.

She was greeted upstairs by the innkeeper and came to the door of a side room.

On the side, Li Mingjia came out of another side room, saw that she was also there, and hurriedly looked away.

The maid Honglan said: "Third Miss, Sister Li'er said that the fourth lady has rested when she is unwell, so let you and the fourth lady eat by themselves, and you don't have to wait for them to come." ”

Li'er is the personal maid of the fourth lady Nie, who specializes in serving Nie's daily life, and she also came with her to take care of Nie's when she went to the capital this time.

Li Mingyun nodded.

The long journey is tiring for those who do not leave home.

"The fourth aunt should have a good rest, and it's not too late to leave in two days." She said.

No one responded to her.

Honglan didn't know if she was qualified to answer, so she could only look at Li Mingjia with a tense face.

Li Mingjia glared at her, and when she saw her cowering, she could only say one by one: "Yes." ”

After saying that, she wanted to bite off her tongue so that she wouldn't have to talk to Li Mingyun.

She really doesn't know what attitude she should have towards Li Mingyun now.

Friendly? She couldn't. Brutal? She couldn't do it either.

Last time Li Mingyun saved her mother, she should be grateful, but she can't say it, especially when she thinks of what happened before, she doesn't want to face Li Mingyun even more.

It's annoying! Why did things turn out like this!

Li Mingjia continued to keep his face strained.

Li Mingyun glanced at her, ignored her, and pushed the door into the wing.

A table of dishes has been set up on the table, with meat and vegetarian dishes, dazzling, and the style is also chic and beautiful.

Li Mingjia didn't care about anything, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Li Mingyun also sat down.

None of the servants dined with their masters, so only the two of them were left in this room.

The two ate in silence, each without looking at the other.

The atmosphere was dreary, and the slightest noise was infinitely amplified at this point, so that they could hear the quarrel coming from outside later.

"You kid, are you tired of being alive, and you dare to stare at your grandfather!"

"Look at what! Look at Lao Tzu again, you are looking for teeth all over the ground! ”

There was a clang, followed by wails one after another, mixed with the exclamations of several women.

Li Mingyun vaguely heard Qiuqing's voice among them, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to go out to see the situation.

"Don't go!" Li Mingjia called her, "These people are fighting downstairs, what are you going to do?" ”

She didn't hear any maids' voices, so she simply thought that Li Mingyun wanted to go out to see the excitement.

"I'll take a look." Li Mingyun said, and walked out of the wing room quickly.

Li Mingjia gritted her teeth, thought about it and still didn't go out.

Li Mingyun is not afraid, she is afraid!

The quarrels outside were getting worse, the fights were getting louder, and the clashing of tables and chairs.

Downstairs, originally full of friends, there were only a few people left at this time, and a group of vicious-looking people were beating a thin scholar, who was beaten to the point that his nose was bleeding and his forehead was red, but he still glared at them stubbornly.

Li Mingyun was relieved to see that Qiu Qing and the others were already hiding in the corner of the first floor.

This group of people didn't seem to beat the man until he bowed his head and admitted his mistake and never stopped, and kept punching and kicking him, and threw him into the women's pile.

"Ahh Spring Rain and Autumn Sunny hurriedly dodge.

At this moment, Xue Yan's figure flashed over and pushed the scholar away, and the scholar stumbled and was pushed to the ground.

"Who are you? Dare to meddle with your grandfather's business! The man at the head said, "I'm really impatient! ”

He saw that Xue Yan was thin and weak, no different from the scholar, so he ordered the people behind him to beat him together.

"Give it to me! If you can't beat him, I invite you to this drunken wind building in Yizhou! He said.

Zuifeng Building is the most expensive green building in Yizhou, and the women in it are also of the highest quality.

When those people heard this, they immediately nodded and looked at Xue Yan viciously.

"Brother, I'm sorry, today, don't want to get out of this inn!" One said.

Xue Yan glanced at them lightly, not wanting to talk to them.

This expression annoyed the men.

"Grandpa's, you are crawling all over the ground if Uncle Ben is going to beat you!" The leader said.

Several people rushed over at Xue Yan with their teeth and claws.

But in less than a moment, he was knocked to the ground by Xue Yan, and they all wailed and begged for mercy on the ground.

"......" Spring Rain was speechless.

I thought they were very powerful, but they couldn't even compare to Xue Guard's fingers.

She pouted.

"Don't get out of here!" She scolded, "Keep your eyes open in the future, who can mess with and who can't, see clearly!" ”

Those people should have been, supporting each other and fleeing.

The matter was settled, and the shopkeeper came out to thank him.

"Thank you, little brother." He said, "Those people are from Lianzhou, they have come to Yizhou recently, they are very rude, they have scared away a few tables of customers in the small shop, they carry knives with them, and I dare not speak out......

He complained to Xue Yan, and by the way, he complained to the only guest left.

"You can report to the officer."

Li Mingyun could only hear the guest's voice, but could not see anyone.

It was a middle-aged man with a mellow voice, and from the tone of his voice, he could feel that this person was gentle and polite.

She inexplicably became curious about the guest.

The shopkeeper is still talking about his difficulties.

"I can't help ...... either"

"Now that Governor Wei is too busy to take care of himself, where can he still control ordinary people like us......"

He wiped tears from his eyes as he spoke.

"Oh? Can't take care of yourself? The guest asked, "Where does this begin?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, and found that he had missed his mouth, and he was busy slapping himself.

"I've only heard that," he explained vaguely...... "and there's no definite news." ”

The guest didn't ask any further questions, just simply said "oh", and then drank tea by himself.

Li Mingyun walked down from the upper floor.

"Miss!"

Chunyu and Qiuqing saw Li Mingyun and waved at her happily.

The shopkeeper thanked him for two words and left, leaving only Li Mingyun and the others and the guest on the first floor.

"Escort Xue is so powerful, I don't know if you saw it, he single-handedly beat all the bad guys away!" Qiu Qing waved her arms excitedly.

Li Mingyun smiled.

"I see it." She said, then glancing to where the guest was.

As she expected, he was a middle-aged man, elegant and peaceful, warm as mellow tea.

The man was stunned when he saw her, then smiled kindly at her.

Li Mingyun also smiled in response, watching him become more and more kind.

"Little girl, come here." The guest said, beckoning to her.

Li Mingyun walked over with a smile, and Xue Yan and Chunyu also hurriedly followed.

Walked up to the guest, first gave a salute to show respect, and then, Li Mingyun stood dryly.

She didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to call the guest, and there was something strange in her heart.

This guest seems to know her, could it be that she is an old acquaintance of Yizhou?

"Little girl, do you remember me?" The guest asked kindly, looking at her gently.

Do you really know each other?

Does she know this person in Yizhou?

Li Mingyun thought about it hard, but he really didn't think about it, so he had to shake his head.

"I can't remember, but I feel like I know you." She said.

The guest laughed.

"You know me? But you can't remember it? ”

His face was elegant and peaceful, he smiled loudly, and his whole person was radiant and very dazzling.

Even better than her father.

Li Mingyun nodded shyly, not knowing what to answer, so he had to stand obediently.

The guest looked at her kindly.

"Elm Academy." He said, "I saw you there, and you stepped on me. ”

Li Mingyun suddenly realized.

Only then did she remember that she had met this middle-aged man at Elm Academy.

I only met once, and she actually said that she knew him......

Really...... Nonsense.

She explained awkwardly, "I looked at you with a kind face and felt that you were very kind. ”

The middle-aged man smiled.

"My surname is Lin, you can call me Uncle Lin." He said.

Li Mingyun obediently called "Uncle Lin".

"My name is Li Mingyun." She said.

She didn't know why she had introduced herself to this stranger, some things were just so inexplicable.
