Chapter 13: The First Meeting
The wind bustled outside the Yumen Inn all night, but it happened to cover up some of the small thoughts that began to float in the inn.
Han Li's arrival brought a lot of talking points to the people in the Jade Gate Inn, and of course, it also added a lot of excitement to the next situation.
It was definitely not just Sima Jingling who made up her mind about Han Li. The wind bustled outside the Yumen Inn all night, but it happened to cover up some of the small thoughts that began to float in the inn.
Han Li's arrival brought a lot of talking points to the people in the Jade Gate Inn, and of course, it also added a lot of excitement to the next situation.
It was definitely not just Sima Jingling who made up her mind about Han Li. The downstairs glanced upstairs with a sense of feeling, but saw only a tightly closed window.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, leaving the slightly strange feeling in his heart behind, and focused on Liu Rushi, who greeted him with a smile on his face.
Liu Ru twisted his waist slightly, shook a fan in his hand and slowly walked out of the back hall, and when he saw the visitor, his eyes lit up, and he laughed in his mouth:
"Yo, isn't this Han Gongzi, why are you here at this time?"
Han Gongzi nodded and nodded towards Liu Rus,
"Shopkeeper Liu is good, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Liu Ru smiled, hurriedly picked up a pot of wine and sat on the side of Han Gongzi, and asked the guy to go to the kitchen to hot soup porridge and serve it to Han Gongzi.
Han Gongzi sat down with Liu Ruyi's kindness, looked at the few people in Boss Meng's caravan who were still in the lobby, turned his head to Liu Rushi and said:
"Shopkeeper Liu seems to be going to be big this time, I seem to have seen a lot of acquaintances with you."
"Where did Han Gongzi say this?" Liu Ru covered her lips with a fan, smiled lightly, and said to Han Gongzi,
"What is there here for me, Liu Ru, who can better understand than Han Gongzi?"
Han Gongzi raised his eyes to look at Liu Rus, then lowered his head and took a sip of the hot porridge that the guy had just served, feeling that the coldness brought by the harsh wind he had just experienced was dispelled by this bowl of hot porridge.
He no longer cared about the tentative or surprised gazes of the people around him, and just drank the bowl of porridge in front of him quietly.
Liu Ru quietly looked at Han Gongzi's expression, his eyes rolled for a moment, and he smiled and said tentatively to Han Gongzi:
"Although it has been a long time since you have come to my Liu Ru is Jade Gate Inn in person, the things that should be kept are still retained, so Han Gongzi is still the same as before?"
Han Gongzi nodded, and then prepared to go upstairs to rest.
As soon as he stood up and walked upstairs, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Sima Jingling's room again.
He paused at his feet and asked Liu Rushi:
"Someone lived in that Tianzi room?"
Liu Ru rolled her eyes, covered her lips and smiled, and said very exaggerated and natural:
"This person who lives in the Tianzi room is a distinguished guest. Han Gongzi, you are too late, otherwise I can introduce you to each other. ”
"After today, there will be tomorrow, and this is not a hurry." Han Gongzi raised his feet again and continued to walk upstairs, and said to Liu Ru behind him as he walked,
"I am also familiar with Shopkeeper Liu, and I believe that Shopkeeper Liu knows it in his heart.
Since Shopkeeper Liu arranged this distinguished guest in the Tianzi room, then I, Han, naturally don't need to say anything.
By the way, the caravan with me this time was delayed due to the weather. However, at their speed, it should arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest, so I asked Shopkeeper Liu to work a lot and work hard. ”
"That's natural, please rest assured Han Gongzi." Liu Ru smiled, and after answering Han Gongzi's words, he didn't say anything more, and followed Han Gongzi and sent Han Gongzi to the room he had left in the Yumen Inn.
After Han Gongzi entered the door, he bowed his head slightly to show respect, and then left.
When Liu Ru passed by Sima Jingling's room, she hooked her lips slightly and smiled, then swayed back to the inn lobby, talked and laughed with the people who were still in the lobby a few more times, and then slowly returned to the back hall.
After Sima Jingling bathed herself, she put on a robe and sat on the side, drinking a pot of tea that Qiulan had changed for her.
She watched Apo standing by the window, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking, so she raised her head and beckoned him to come over.
Apo glanced up at Sima Jingling, and then walked over and sat down beside Sima Jingling.
"Ah Ling......" He called Sima Jingling very quietly, and his tone seemed to be a little dazed, and he seemed to be a little frightened.
Sima Jingling drank tea with her hand, and then noticed that something was wrong with Ah Pu.
Apo had never shown his panic on his face as much as he did now, and it was so obvious.
Sima Jingling frowned, covered her hand on Apu's hand, and found that Apu's hand was very cold, and her palms were full of cold sweat.
She thought about it, and could only attribute this anomaly to the person he had just seen entering the inn.
"You know that person just now?" Sima Jingling asked.
Apo nodded, and shook his head again,
"I know, but I don't know."
Sima Jingling raised her eyebrows puzzled.
The company took a few long breaths to relax himself.
He sat next to Sima Jingling, and after feeling Sima Jingling's breath, his mood was much more stable than just now.
He thought about it, and for a while he didn't know how to talk about it, and finally decided to tell everything he knew.
"This person, if I'm not mistaken, is my brother, Wei Lan's right-hand man, Han Li."
"Your brother?" Sima Jingling was a little surprised, and then recalled the last time Ah Pu told her about her brother, she chuckled lightly, and naturally sighed,
"Yours, brother, do have some skills. In just a few days, your brother's power is really everywhere. ”
Apo lowered his head and didn't respond, but his fists were still clenched for a moment.
Sima Jingling glanced at Ah Pu, then raised her head, as if she hadn't found anything, and asked casually:
"If you know who this person is, why don't you talk about not knowing him?"
Ah Cheng closed his eyes, suppressed the scarlet picture that suddenly appeared in front of him, and said with some difficulty in his throat: "Because, before my father died, I never saw him in person.
And on the day my father died, all I could see was a man with blood on his face. ”
Sima Jingling looked at Ah Pu sharply, and found that Ah Pu was trembling all over, as if the anger and hatred that had been suppressed all over her body for a long time were about to explode like this.
Sima Jingling immediately hugged Apu, and slowly stroked Apu's back and the top of her head with her own hands to calm Apu's emotions.
