There didn't seem to be any other guests at the inn, otherwise how could it be so quiet? Although the outside of the inn here is dilapidated, there is a lot of good things inside, there is a copper plate behind the door, and the windows are open on the roof, just to see the autumn moon.

Soon, the man brought another bowl of hot noodles, and Qing Ning quickly took it, asking him where his family lived and why he opened an inn here.

"I see that you are a destined person...... the man sat in front of her and smiled, and he was only halfway through the sentence before he was refuted by Xiao Jingyi.

"Oh? Aren't we? Xiao Jingyi blurted out the words, it was difficult to collect the water, he frowned, hooked his lips, and regretted it after speaking, how could this sound a little weird?

"Forgive me...... Not good for men. The man sat down from across from Qing Ning, and it seemed that he was going to have a long talk.

"Your Excellency is too worried, and you don't have a ...... for the feminine man" Before Xiao Jingyi finished speaking, Qing Ning raised his elbow and bumped him.

"He admires your demeanor and literary talent." Qing Ning said with a smile.

"If the girl really knows how to appreciate me, why don't you be my innkeeper? Stay here, Ji will wash your hands and make soup for you, how about it? As soon as the man's words fell, the sword lay straight across his neck, and in the night, the blade of the sword reflected a faint light against the candlelight, and the speed of the hand was so fast that it was too fast to react.

"Good swordsmanship." The man praised that for the first time in his life, someone dared to put a sword on his neck, and for the first time, he could not resist.

"Everyone who comes is a guest, but ...... If the guest is not good, don't blame the lower being polite. The man snapped his fingers, and suddenly there was a movement on the roof of the inn, and a group of men in black came in out of nowhere, rushed down and surrounded them.

"Why make such a fuss?" Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea.

This man has a lot of background, he is alone here, and he has so many dead soldiers, should he be in a big family? During the reign of the Yu Dynasty, he had heard of the seven major families, headed by the Bai family, and heard him call himself Ji, but he didn't know what the surname Ji was.

……

"This noodle is delicious!" Qing Ning excitedly pointed to the bowl of noodles in front of her, she saw that the man had no killing intent, so she leisurely ate the noodles on the side, this was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten since she fled!

"Really?! This noodle is my family's secret recipe, first use mutton as the soup base, boil for three or two hours, the soup is thick and delicious, and then boil the noodles with water, and then soak them in cold water, the noodles will be chewy in the mouth. The man began to gush on about his way of cooking.

"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" Qing Ning asked.

"Just call me Ji'an, the girl can taste the fish soup I made with her own hands tomorrow, and I will go fishing early tomorrow morning." Ji'an was a little excited, this inn had not welcomed diners for a long time, and it was rare to have guests today, and he knew how to taste it so well, so he geared up and wanted to do a great job.

"Very good! It's just that seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the two of us are already tired from running all the way, so let's take a rest. After Qingning said that, Ji'an instructed his subordinates to clean up the side room so that the guests could move in.

——

The inn is quite clean, there are three chrysanthemums in the vase on the case, and Mr. Wuliu's poems are hung on the wall.

After Qingning and Yu Qing rested, they saw Yu Qing turn his back and go to sleep, he seemed to be a little strange, could it be that he was angry?

"Why don't you sleep with me in your arms today?" Qing Ning asked.

So, Xiao Jingyi came back to his senses, hugged her, and rested his chin on the top of her head.

Isn't he angry because she and Ji'an have a good time?

Qing Ning hugged his waist and whispered, "Since following you, there is no one else in my heart." ”

With that, Yu Qing stretched out her hand and brushed the hair from her ear and kissed her cheek.

"Sleep." His deep voice whispered in her ear.

——

Early the next morning.

The cold sky blew on the window, the two covered the futon and hugged each other and slew, Qingning woke up smelling the fragrance, suddenly felt hungry, and got up to open the door.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Ji An coming out, and Ji An was stunned in place with the fish soup, staring at her with a straight gaze.

Qing Ning realized that she was not wearing a veil, and she felt a little uncomfortable touching her face.

"I've already guessed that the girl is a character beauty." Ji'an smiled, and he put the fish soup on the table and invited her to taste it.

Qing Ning saw that a few vegetable leaves floated in the plain white fish soup, so she hurriedly spooned a bowl and tasted it, but overnight, she was hungry and panicked.

"Very fresh! Great! Qing Ning exclaimed.

Ji An smiled and quickly asked her to drink a few more bowls.

Qingning also gave him enough face, but he was so hungry that he drank four bowls, and Ji An was very happy to see it.

Suddenly, Giang put a whistle in front of her and said, "If the girl has anything to do with me, blow the whistle." ”

Qing Ning looked at the whistle made of jade, the whole body was crystal clear, very exquisite, and the estimated price was extraordinary.

——

When leaving, Ji'an was quite reluctant.

Facing the autumn wind, Qingning put on a scarf, Xiao Jingyi handed her hand, and the two rode on their horses and continued all the way north.

They got closer and closer to the prosperous place of Cloud City, only to see that there were more horse teams transporting goods on the road, and there were more people fleeing.

Recently, the world has been declining, the taxes are heavy, and the border is harassed by the bandits, many slaves have escaped from the government, and the government has not done anything, so Pudding has to flee to the north, it is said that the further north it is, the more prosperous it becomes, even if the taxes are heavy, there are no bandits, there are no troubled people, and they can settle down.

"Heist !!!" There was a shout from the front, and Xiao Jingyi hurriedly rode away from the crowd.

In broad daylight, some people took advantage of the chaos to rob, and there was no order here.

Again, "Murder!" ”

Suddenly, the crowd fled in all directions, and people were panicked for a while.

There was the sound of horses' hooves ahead, it was the soldiers who were driving away the rogues, as early as some time ago, the rogues gathered and wanted to occupy this place, so Yuncheng immediately gathered soldiers and horses to drive away this group of barbarians.

The smoke in the city gradually rose, and the autumn wind blew it to the southeast.

"When is the end of this day?" Qing Ning closed his eyes and sighed, remembering the peace and worry when he was in Qingshui Village.

"I promise you that for the rest of your life, there will be no more fireworks."

……

"Save my child!!" The woman vowed to bring back the seven-year-old child, despite her husband's resistance.

The child chased after him, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he cried bitterly on the spot, shouting, "A-Niang, don't leave me!" Don't leave me! ”

"The child is young and walks very slowly! Leave him in a hurry! Then Lang Jun took his wife and ran, and the woman wiped her tears as she ran.

"What a ruthless man!" Pedestrians gather together to rush and curse others for their ruthlessness.

Although there was a fever and looting in the fleeing procession, they still loved to gather together, so as to avoid the loneliness and fear of one person when fleeing.

……

"How far is Jiangnan from here?"

"It's coming."
