The shopkeeper walked outside the door, as if he remembered something, turned his head again, and smiled earnestly at Zhong Ling.

"If the two masters are in a hurry, we also have carriages in the store, and the storage can be sent from all over the world, go to the near of the amnesty cloud road, as long as one hundred taels of silver, Xia Ling is a little farther away, and get two hundred taels of silver, I think the two masters are so refreshing, the price is negotiable!"

After that, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he made a gesture and left, Zhong Ling took a sip and scolded: "I'm scared like this, and I don't forget to make money?" ”

"Why don't we rent a carriage, so we don't have to worry about it." Yu Ying proposed.

Zhong Ling shook his head: "No, this inn is mixed, and that Xiao Er has also seen us, if he really rents a carriage here, it will be easy to attract attention." ”

Yu Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Zhong Ling's eyes rolled, and an idea came to his heart: "I have an idea, why don't we tell Xiao Er, let's go to Xia Ling?" ”

Yu Ying comprehended her intentions and couldn't help laughing: "Little Wu, you are really a chicken thief." ”

"This is called not tired of deceit!"

Zhong Ling picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat into Yu Ying's bowl: "Eat quickly, I'm running around on the road in the coming day, and I don't know if I can eat meat." ”

The two couldn't bear the fatigue after dinner, and fell asleep on the bed, and in the second half of the night, there seemed to be a voice outside the door, Zhong Ling had always slept shallowly, and he woke up with only a little wind and grass, and raised his eyes to look out of the door.

A burly figure was reflected in the window paper, Zhong Ling took out a short dagger, and was about to get up, but the figure disappeared, and the footsteps disappeared into the corridor, Zhong Ling's eyebrows frowned slightly, it seemed that he was a person in this inn.

Early in the morning, Xiao Er came to deliver food.

Zhong Ling glanced at the porridge he sent, and couldn't help frowning: "Are you a fool?" The rice in this porridge is counted, what? Don't think you have enough money? ”

"Hey, where is this saying, the reason why this porridge is so thin is because our land is not good, there are no crops, these rice are sent from more than ten miles away, and they have been used up in the past few days, that's it, we still save it for you!" Xiao Er nodded and opened his mouth.

It didn't look like he was lying, this place didn't have a store in front of the village or a store in the back, so Zhong Ling didn't bother with him, and said, "Let me ask you, who were the people living in this store last night?" ”

"Oh, I said master, there are all kinds of people in our shop, there are those who have fled, and there are also those vicious robbers, let's just do business, and don't ask where those heroes come from, if this is asked, isn't it unpleasant?"

"That's it, you step aside, send some delicious food to the master at noon today, if you want these things again, take care of your skin!" Zhong Ling waved his hand.

Xiao Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, last night, we hunted a roe deer with the old Yang Tou who was doing miscellaneous things, and I will send all the meat on the legs to the master at noon today to try it!" ”

"Old Yang Tou?" Zhong Ling glanced at Xiao Er, and thought to himself, the person who stood outside the door last night also came in the middle of the night, could it be this old Yang Tou

Right?

So he asked, "How tall is the old Yang's head?" ”

"Old Yang Tou is in his fifties this year, and his body is only less than the shoulders of the second master!"

That's not right, last night the man was clearly a burly man, Zhong Ling lowered his head and thought about it, stood up and said, "I'll go with you and take a look at your carriages and horses." ”

"Little Wu, you haven't had breakfast yet!" Yu Ying spoke.

"Don't worry, come back and eat again!" Zhong Ling walked outside.

The shopkeeper bent down and walked down with Zhong Ling, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Oh, I said this master, our horses are fat and strong, and you are satisfied with your safekeeping!" ”

Zhong Ling followed him to the back kitchen, a few coolies were eating, eating wowotou, Zhong Ling glanced at the porridge in their bowls, although it was not thick, but in the end it was still much stronger than the one sent to their room.

The shopkeeper noticed Zhong Ling's sight, smiled a little weakly, scratched his head and said, "Master, if you want to rent our carriage, it's only fifty taels!" ”

"I'm going to Xia Ling." Zhong Ling looked back at him.

The shopkeeper smiled: "This price is negotiable!" ”

Zhong Ling walked around the kitchen, and some of those coolies were tall, but they were not as burly as yesterday's.

Zhong Ling pretended to turn around in the manger, turned around and asked Xiao Er, "There are only so many people in your store?" ”

"Everyone is here, don't look at the ones who don't look good, they work very hard, if they let them escort you to Xia Ling, you don't have to worry about it!"

Zhong Ling nodded, turned around and walked out, and Xiao Er hurriedly followed: "Master, what do you think?" ”

"Go back and discuss it with another master!" Zhong Ling walked out of the back kitchen.

A person walked over from outside the kitchen, his face looked fierce and tight, Zhong Ling couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, in terms of size, it looked about the same length as the shadow yesterday.

The visitor also saw Zhong Ling, and his eyes couldn't help but wander a little, but he quickly moved away and beckoned Xiao Er: "Two catties of beef!" ”

"Come on, a few masters, sit down for a while!" Xiao Er nodded in response, and the man turned around and walked out.

The shopkeeper put the sweat towel on his shoulder, and smiled at Zhong Ling: "Master, then you go back and think about it, don't worry, the price we give you is absolutely fair!" ”

Zhong Ling turned around and walked out, just as he saw the man walking to a round table, there were about ten people sitting around the round table, all of them burly, and a few of them were looking at Zhong Ling.

Far away, Zhong Ling could still hear their whispers.

"I said boss, this man really looks like a girl, yesterday they were in shabby clothes and couldn't see anything, now I look at it, this little face is really white!"

"No, if you want me to say, if you have so much money, you may not know where you earned your hard-earned money in person!"

More than a dozen people burst into laughter, Zhong Ling chuckled, stepped upstairs, and the man at the head touched his chin and looked

The line fell straight on Zhong Ling's body.

Seeing this, the little guy next to him hurriedly said: "Boss, when the money arrives, the brothers will tie him up and send him into your room!" ”

There was another burst of laughter, and suddenly a dart flew from the entrance, brushing the cheek of the man who spoke, and sinking into the wall behind him, leaving a corner outside.

The smile on the man's face froze, and he trembled and stretched out his hand to touch his face, felt the blood in his hand, and fell from the bench in fright.

The leader stood up and roared, "Who? Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

No one responded.

He turned around and tried to pull the dart out, but unfortunately it was too deep, and after trying a few times, he couldn't succeed, so he had to withdraw his hand.

Zhong Ling pushed open the door and walked in, Yu Ying was still waiting for her, and the porridge on the table was almost cold.

"Hurry up and eat." Yu Ying laid out the chopsticks for her.

Zhong Ling sat down and took a sip of porridge, and Yu Ying asked, "What did you see when you went down just now?" ”

"There are a few carriages in the backyard, but those thugs together can't beat me, I don't think it's hanging." Zhong Ling couldn't help frowning when he thought of those thugs.

Yu Ying laughed when she heard this: "Your skills are not comparable to ordinary people, you should have known that this would be the result, why go down and take a look for yourself?" ”

Zhong Ling thought about it, but decided to suppress last night's incident, so as not to make Yu Ying frightened.

After the two finished eating, Zhong Ling proposed to go down to observe the terrain, plan the route, and prepare for leaving, and it happened that the clothes on his body were also hidden, if someone asked, he said that he was a guy who helped at the inn.

After eating roe deer meat in the afternoon, I took a nap and was about to go out, when the shopkeeper came.

"You've been diligent enough this day." Yu Ying opened the door for him and couldn't help but joke.

The shopkeeper was a little panicked, wiped the sweat on his head and told the two: "Second master, there are people in the inn, you two must not go out now, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Zhong Ling couldn't help but be curious: "Who is it?" Scared you like this? ”

"It's the people of Xuanji Pavilion, since the Xuanji Pavilion has changed its master, I have to come to the inn every month, and I don't know what I want to do, every time I make people panic, now it's here again, the two masters are more to take care of, we have to go down to serve the group of masters!"

With that, he arched his hand and trotted downstairs again.

Zhong Ling's eyes were slightly gloomy, and Yu Ying beside him couldn't help but worry: "It's someone from Xuanji Pavilion, if you know about your and my escape, wouldn't Shen Gongzi and Huaining also know?" ”

"Looks like I can't get out today!" Zhong Ling sat back on the edge of the bed, feeling a little irritable in his heart, and it was not good for him to be a teacher.

Just thinking about countermeasures, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Yu Ying was standing by the door, just thinking that the shopkeeper was going and returning, and opened the door directly without thinking about it.

"There is another ......"

Before the words fell, a knife was put on his neck, and Yu Yingden gasped

A breath of cool air.

Zhong Ling raised her eyes and saw that it was the group of people who were sitting at the table today to arrange her, and now there were five of them, and the ones who came were not good.

Yu Ying was restrained by the man, unable to move at all, Zhong Ling quietly touched the dagger, and said coldly: "Dare to ask you, I don't know where we offended you, why bother to use the knife?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, take out all the valuable things, if you dare to resist, I will make you blood splashed on the spot!" The minion standing on Yu Ying's left side stared at Zhong Ling with round eyes and compared the knife in his hand to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling stood up straight: "The money can be given to you, let the people go!" ”

After that, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oh lords, it's our store's distinguished customers, you can't disturb their purity!"

The faces of the people in the room changed immediately, and before they spoke, the person directly put the knife on Zhong Ling's neck, lowered his voice and admonished: "Don't speak!" ”

Zhong Ling seized the opportunity, hit the man's waist and abdomen with his elbow, and snatched the knife in the man's hand.

"Let the people go, or I'm welcome!"

The group probably didn't expect Zhong Ling to have such good skills, and they were stunned for a while.

When he came back to his senses, Zhong Ling had already rushed up and slashed at the arm of the person behind Yu Ying, and the man let go of his hand with a painful cry.

Zhong Ling took Yu Ying and protected him behind him.
