Chapter 218: Town Lantern
"Old man, you're pretty tough, huh?"
The stinky socks reached out and gave the shopkeeper a big hug, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "This time I happened to be passing by, and I have to leave tomorrow morning." Next time, next time, old man, I will stay with you for a little longer. ”
He also introduced to the shopkeeper: "You have to spend more money today, and you want three of the best rooms." This is my apprentice, how about it, right? ”
"Ouch, you've accepted all your apprentices, this is really an earth-shattering event."
The shopkeeper noticed the four of Hua Lan, he looked at Hua Lan up and down carefully, and kept smacking his lips, "Your apprentice is handsome, just like the person in the painting, no wonder you have always refused to accept apprentices, it turns out that your vision is so high?" ”
He was busy greeting the guys on the side: "Xiao Er, go and clean all the three best rooms, and then go to the Yutang Building to set a table and send it over. ”
"And this perk?"
How much silver does a table cost? The innkeeper wants to have a treat? Hua Lan was completely confused.
The young man quickly cleaned up the upper room, took the key and led a few people to the door of the three upper rooms in the southwest corner of the second floor.
He handed over the key to Master Stinky Socks, and said respectfully with a bright smile: "Master Stinky Socks, please take a hot shower and change into clean clothes first, it won't take much effort for Xiao Er to go to Yutang Tower." The banquet will be brought to you. The shopkeeper said, what else do you need, just ask, a small one is on call at any time. ”
"Alright."
The stinky sock master took the room key in his hand and waved his hand to the guy, "It's not a big deal, you can go and get busy first." ”
"Great!"
The young man was very clever, nodded and bowed and went downstairs.
As soon as Master Stinky Socks lifted the room key and was about to assign the room, Jin Se stepped forward with a smile, scooped the key out of his hand, easily fished it in his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Master Stinky Socks lives in one room with Hua San, Playboy and Spring Silkworm live in one room, and Jin Se lives in one room alone." ”
The original plan of the stinky socks was to live in one room by herself, and then Hua Lan Chun Silkworm and Jin Se were crowded in one room, and everything was moved to another room to be taken care of by Hua San. He didn't plan to live in a room with anyone, not to mention, he had quirks, and he couldn't close his eyes even if there was the slightest movement in the room.
But when he saw Jin Se's gentle and cold eyes, he kept his head and didn't open his mouth.
Everyone went back to their rooms to take a hot shower and changed their clothes refreshingly.
The food from Yutanglou was delivered, and the food was placed in the Hualan room, with a full twenty-eight dishes, and a large table was placed.
While eating in the room, two men came to the door of the inn, and the man handed over the horse to a young man, walked into the inn, and asked, "Are there four guests in your inn, three men and one woman?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet him: "Guest officer, are you looking for someone?" There were a lot of customers in our shop, but there were no three men and one woman. Excuse me, guest officer, are you staying in the hotel? ”
"There are no three men and one woman?"
Saudin's eyes turned pale, and his face immediately turned cold: "I saw their carriage parked in that shop, how can the shopkeeper lie?" ”
"Oh, it turns out that the guest officer is a friend of Master Stinky Socks. This is easy to say, this is easy to say. They only live in the three upper rooms in the southwest corner of the second floor, and the young man will take you up. ”
As soon as King Shou'an was talking in the lobby, the spring silkworm on the second floor heard it. She hurriedly came out of the room and greeted on the railing on the second floor: "Eldest son, my master is here." ”
King Shou'an took Tian Ji to the second floor with a cold face, and the spring silkworm moved the chair in a hurry, and everyone sat down again.
Of course, this time, the stinky sock master moved from the top position to the side, just opposite Hua Lan.
There are more unfamiliar faces on the table, and Queen Sheng An is so respectful that she even gave up the position of the head?
King Shou'an understood at once that this was an old man who could not be ignored.
Everyone had dinner, King Shou'an booked a room, and everyone rested early.
Hua Lan's original intention was to take advantage of the stinky socks when the master was still asleep, and quietly took Jin Se and the spring silkworms to leave the town quickly.
As soon as Jin Se arranged it, her plans were a little messed up.
Only then did Hua Lan realize that since the stinky sock master appeared, she Hua Lan had to be cautious and cautious in her words.
What she says will definitely be denied by Master Stinky Socks, but Master Stinky Socks can't be the master of Jinse.
She didn't dare to convince Jinse, if she broke this harmonious balance, there was a high probability that she would become more and more passive.
King Shou'an's gloomy face was dissipated The subtle atmosphere at the dinner table was dispersed, and no one made a sound, so the stinky sock master ate back to the room in great silence.
Hua Lan walked around the room and thought for a while, let the spring silkworm quietly observe the movement in Hua San's room, and went out to knock on the door of King Shou'an's room.
The night was deep, and the inn was full of paper lanterns, and no one noticed the special features of this paper lantern.
This is an oblong plain paper lantern, which does not look very conspicuous in the inn, and if you walk out of the inn, you will definitely find that these paper lanterns are a little weird.
In the dark night of the town, there is not a trace of starlight in the sky, not even the moonlight. Under the dark night sky, a lonely and cold town, there are these plain paper lanterns everywhere, some white, some gray, some gray, and some black.
The flames flickering in the lanterns were very different, there were cold green, there were dark blue, and there were dark fires after purple red.
The plain paper lantern that ushered in the inn was gray-white, and the flames inside faintly spit out a very peculiar flame, white and bright, without a trace of red flame.
This flame abruptly concludes the entire inn in the dark night town, looking at it from afar, like the mansion of the lord of the city god.
The reason why King Shou'an brought Tian Ji to find Empress Sheng'an was also for this.
There was a ghostly atmosphere in the town, and he arranged for the rest of the Praetorian Guard to be in a wooded area outside the townhouse. Smelling the scent of treading snow without a trace, I found the Welcome Inn.
When he saw the stinky socks master, he found that the old man's bones were strange, and the aura exuded from his whole body was extraordinary, so he didn't ask about the origin of the stinky socks master.
At this moment, as soon as there was a knock on the door, he went to the door and saw that it was Queen Sheng'an, and hurriedly opened the door.
Hua Lan stood outside the door but didn't enter, and this room of King Shou'an was next to Hua San's room.
She put her finger to her mouth and "shh King Shou'an understood and followed with light steps.
The two of them walked down the stairs to the lobby, and were just about to walk outside the inn, when a smelly sock appeared on the railing on the second floor.
He was very lazy and lay on the railing, and shouted to Hua Lan downstairs: "Apprentice, listening to Master's words, the town is not safe at night, so don't go out." ”
"Master, don't worry, we're just walking around, it'll be fine, your old man should rest early."
Hua Lan disagreed, but replied respectfully.
Seeing her say this, the stinky sock master shook his head, sighed, "Hey", and turned back to the room.
With King Shou'an here, what can happen?
Hua Lan didn't care, and left the inn with the front and back feet and King Shou'an.
At night, the town is full of eerie lights. The streets were eerily quiet, and there were not even figures jumping.
Hua Lan only thought about discussing with King Shou'an how to persuade Master Smelly Socks to give up the trip to Kunlun Mountain, and she didn't notice that the night in the town was very strange and unusual.
The two of them left the inn and strolled through the silent and dim streets.
The footsteps were light, but surprisingly loud, sinking into the night.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk......"
"Can you ask King Shou'an to help me tomorrow morning, stop the stinky socks Master, the road in Kunlun Mountain is difficult and unpredictable, I don't want to drag down the old man."
