Qiu Lan's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, as if she was puzzled.

She glanced in the direction of Apu, and saw that Apu shook her head at her for some reason, so she still opened her mouth to ask Sima Jingling what was going on.

Sima Jingling sighed and was about to say something when she heard a knock on her door.

Qiulan glanced at Sima Jingling, and was about to get up and open the door, but Sima Jingling pressed the teacup in her hand.

Qiulan was a little surprised, not understanding what Sima Jingling meant by doing this.

But it had become her instinct to listen to Sima Jingling's words, so she continued to sit upright and did not move.

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Ru outside the door seemed to have said a few small words to the people behind her, and then said to Sima Jingling and the others in the door in a very soft tone:

"Convenient for guests? I have some things that I need to tell you. ”

Sima Jingling raised her head and asked Qiulan to open the door.

Qiulan bowed slightly, stood up and moved her steps to answer Liu Ru in the room.

The moment the door was opened, Sima Jingling seemed to have seen Han Li's figure flashing by, but she didn't pay much attention to it, but lowered her head and collected all the thoughts in her eyes.

She felt that Ah Pu behind her seemed to move, as if she had moved a little away from herself, and moved a little further back, and her figure happened to be hidden by the curtain hanging from behind.

The corners of Sima Jingling's mouth curled slightly, thinking in her heart that this sudden accident might be a good opportunity to severely defeat Han Li and his party, causing Wei Lan a little trouble, and thus avenging Ah Cheng a little.

Liu Ru was greeted by Qiulan and sat in front of Sima Jingling.

She looked at Sima Jingling, who was sitting lazily at the table and drinking tea, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry to disturb you. However, I have to come here to inform your guests. ”

Sima Jingling nodded, her tone was not hurried and there was no frustration that was offended or neglected: "Shopkeeper Liu is serious, this is all for the sake of our guests' net worth, why are you embarrassed?"

I just saw that Han Gongzi was a little anxious to discuss some things with Shopkeeper Liu, I think it should have something to do with what we found on the way to wander around, right? ”

"Your guests are really sharp." Liu Ru sighed, "Han Gongzi also said that in order not to worry too much about you, I won't tell you in detail, but now, even if I don't say anything, the guest has figured everything out." ”

Sima Jingling smiled, and then motioned to Qiulan to bring Liu Ru a cup of tea.

"Shopkeeper Liu first drink tea to moisten his throat, and then slowly tell me what he wants to say."

Liu Ru raised her eyebrows, seeing that Sima Jinglin looked calm and calm, and there was no abnormal change, so she was not in a hurry.

She tasted the tea brought from many places according to the caravans, and tried to brew tea herself according to the way the people of the Southern Imperial Kingdom drank tea, but this taste was really not complimentary.

Until—

Liu Ru took a sip of the tea handed over by Sima Jingling, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

It's unexpectedly delicious.

Liu Ru seemed to have a very interesting new gadget, and kept sipping tea in small sips.

When Sima Jingling saw Liu Ru like this, she said to Liu Ru with a smile:

"This tea can be said to be the best tea in the world, and only with me can I drink such high-quality tea.

If Shopkeeper Liu still wants to drink this kind of tea in the future, he can send someone to contact me, but I don't mind giving some of it to Shopkeeper Liu. ”

"Huh!" Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "I Liu Ru understands the kindness of your guests, regardless of such a good thing, it is too wasteful to give me Liu Ru is it."

The tea is really good tea, and I would like to thank you again for your kindness. ”

Sima Jingling smiled, but still motioned to Qiulan to divide some of the tea leaves in the luggage, wrapped them and gave them to Liu Rusi.

Liu did not refuse.

After she accepted the bag of tea, she put down the teacup with some unfinished thoughts and began to get down to business.

She was sitting precariously, looking at Sima Jingling's eyes that seemed to have seen through everything, and suddenly asked:

"Your Excellency, what speculation do you have about what I said?"

Sima Jingling didn't hide it, and replied generously: "I don't know the specifics, but I have a little feeling about the general matter."

Speaking of which, this is indeed the first time I have come to the territory of Beiaoguo, and I don't know much about the customs of Beiaoguo. But since I want to come here, I must also find out some information, for example, several well-known horse bandits in Beiao. ”

Liu Ru opened her mouth slightly, and then sent an admiring look to Sima Jingling.

Sima Jingling chuckled lightly and continued: "This is actually not a difficult matter, and Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have to look at me like this.

When I went out today to see Han Gongzi's performance and reaction, I could probably see that there should be horse bandits stepping nearby.

But what I'm more curious about now is, why did the Jade Gate Inn, which has not seen horse bandits appear for a long time, has a horse bandit again? ”

Hearing Sima Jingling's inquiry, Liu Ruye's face couldn't help but stiffen.

She looked at Sima Jingling with a smile but kept staring at her with a sworn look, and smiled helplessly,

"I haven't actually told anyone about this, and it's strange to say, and I don't know where I got the news about the horse bandits. But I, Liu Ru, think about it, and this is the only reason that can attract them. ”

As he spoke, Liu Ru slowly raised his head and met Sima Jingling's gaze.

Sima Jingling realized something, and then immediately looked at Qiulan.

Qiu Lan bowed, and slowly withdrew from the room, guarding the door.

When Sima Jingling saw that the door was closed tightly and Qiulan's figure was guarding the door, she asked Liu Rus:

"Why?"

Liu Ru closed his eyes, and seemed to have made a lot of determination,

"A piece of news that all Beiao people want to get, it is said that if you get this clue, you can get the 'Treasure of the Desert'."

"Treasures of the desert?" Sima Jingling raised her eyebrows, and a touch of surprise flashed in her originally dignified eyes,

"There are many legends in the world, whether they are true or false, and this source can be said to be unpredictable.

However, since someone has already made a tour, it means that there is a definite news that has been released. In addition, the horse thief appeared around the Jade Gate Inn......

Shopkeeper Liu, your Jade Gate Inn, it's really not simple! ”
