Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Midnight Inn

The afternoon sun is warm but not warm, shining through the gaps in the leaves and falling on people's faces, comfortable and cozy.

Lu Zhaoling and his entourage had just settled lunch in the woods, and were packing their bags and preparing to continue their departure.

At this moment, a fat white pigeon appeared in view.

It hovered above everyone's heads for a while, landed firmly on Shen Fengjiu's shoulder, and pecked him twice in the face with his little red mouth.

Shen Fengjiu grabbed the pigeon in his hand, took the rolled letter paper from its paws, and reached out to send it to the sky.

The pigeon fluttered a few times and fell back on Shen Fengjiu's shoulder, its little head tilted back and forth, as if it didn't understand what was going on.

"Whose stupid pigeon is this?" Yang Che said with a smile.

The only one who can pass on the book to Shen Fengjiu Feige should be Shen Lingyan, right?

Lu Zhaoling guessed in his heart.

Shen Fengjiu didn't pay attention to the carrier pigeon that stopped on his shoulder, opened the letter and read it.

"Whose letter is it?" Lu Zhaoling asked tentatively.

"Master." Shen Fengjiu replied.

And so it was.

Lu Zhaoling quietly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

"Any news?" She asked again.

"Hurry us up."

"Sending a carrier pigeon to urge people? Is it something that matters? Lu Zhaoling was puzzled.

Shen Fengjiu didn't reply.

I don't know if this means nothing, or if there is something but it won't tell me......

Lu Zhaoling slandered.

But she knew that it was useless to ask again, so she stopped continuing to talk about herself.

Yang Che glanced at Shen Fengjiu strangely.

At first, Shen Fengjiu's attitude made Yang Che a little annoyed, and he always felt that he was too blind. But after getting along for a while, Yang Che noticed that Shen Fengjiu didn't seem to be the arrogant temperament that he thought he had, he just didn't care about everything in this world at all, and he was really detached from the world...... He doesn't talk to people often because he doesn't say it with disdain, but because he doesn't say anything he thinks is useless or necessary.

And most of the things seem to be classified by him as "it's useless to say".

It's mind-blowing......

Yang Che held his forehead.

"Is Shen Lingyan really Shen Fengjiu's master?" Yang Che asked Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling nodded, seemed to empathize with his doubts, and smiled at him: "Not only is it a master and apprentice, Shen Fengjiu was completely raised by Shen Lingyan. ”

How......

Yang Che glanced at Shen Fengjiu in disbelief.

"I think it's incredible, too." Lu Zhaoling smiled quietly at Yang Che.

Receiving Shen Lingyan's urging from hundreds of miles away, Lu Zhaoling also decided to speed up the trip. They came to a town at dusk, and instead of settling down as usual, they hurried out of the town after making a few additions.

Finally, in the dead of night, I rushed to a post house.

An Nian had fallen asleep in Yang Che's arms.

"Don't call him, he's a child, he must be tired after a day of traveling like this." Lu Zhaoling said to Yang Che.

"What a troublemaker." Yang Che grinned at An Nian, but still gently hugged him off the horse.

In the darkness of the night, they knocked on the door of the inn.

After a while, the door slowly opened from the inside, and behind it stood a sleepy-eyed little servant.

"Excuse me, stay in the hotel." Yang Che hugged An Nian and said.

The little guy rubbed his eyes and looked at the group of people in front of him, two men and one woman, both of whom looked quite young, and one of them was holding a child.

What a bunch of weirdos......

The little guy muttered in his heart.

"There is a town not far from here that does not live, and you run to this inn in the wilderness in the middle of the night, who are you?" He was clearly not very happy.

"We have some urgent matters to travel, and we have to bother in the middle of the night, I'm really sorry." Lu Zhaoling said politely.

The little guy looked at Lu Zhaoling with a displeased expression: "I see that your gang of people are acting suspiciously, so let's find another place!" "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

"Heyβ€”"

Lu Zhaoling was about to be anxious, but Yang Che grabbed in front of her and stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into the little guy with one hand: "This little brother, when you walk the rivers and lakes, you always have some involuntary feelings, can you be accommodating?" ”

The little guy checked it in his hand, held the silver, and his face finally softened: "It's about the same." ”

He opened the door and let the group into the house: "There are only two upstairs guest rooms, you can watch and live." ”

After saying that, he locked the door and slipped into a room to sleep.

2 rooms......

Lu Zhaoling looked at the few people in front of him with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Yang Che took the lead and said: "It's easy to do, you live in one room by yourself, and the three of us live in one." ”

The result was beyond Yang Che's expectations, and Shen Fengjiu spit out a word: "No." ”

Just dislike me like that?

In the past, Lu Zhaoling and Shen Fengjiu each had one room, and Yang Che took An Nian to live in one room, and Yang Che didn't feel anything, according to the character of Shen Fengjiu, a master of the world, it was common for him to be unwilling to live with others.

But tonight, this situation is still so simply refused?

"And what do you say? Could it be that you still want to live with Zhao Ling? Yang Che blurted out.

Shen Fengjiu glanced at him lightly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

After saying this, Yang Che also felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Fengjiu ignored him, sat down directly in an empty seat in the hall, and closed his eyes.

It seems that he is ready to meditate in this place......

"Then let's go upstairs first." Lu Zhaoling said to Shen Fengjiu.

Shen Fengjiu bowed slightly.

Yang Che walked to the stairs with Lu Zhaoling, and complained in his heart that he was talkative.

How could you be stupid and say such a thing?

He secretly glanced at Lu Zhaoling beside him, but he didn't see anything unusual.

In fact, he has always been very concerned about the relationship between Lu Zhaoling and Shen Fengjiu.

Although the two of them didn't talk much, he could clearly sense that there was a deep bond between the two, which he was far from reaching.

Alas.

Yang Che sighed lightly.

He didn't know exactly what he was struggling with.

Could it be that he ...... to Lu Zhaoling

"There's another one in front." Lu Zhaoling suddenly spoke to Yang Che, startling him.

"Huh? Oh......" Yang Che looked a little dumbfounded.

"It's inconvenient for you to hold An Nian, just live here, I'll take a look at the front." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Okay." Yang Che nodded.

When both of them entered the room, the lights in the hall were quietly extinguished by someone, and the whole post house fell into the darkness of the night.

I don't know how long it took.

The night was already thicker, and there seemed to be no moon outside the window, and there was not a trace of light through.

Two men crept out of a room on the first floor and cautiously made their way up the stairs.

Suddenly, one of them patted the person in front of him on the shoulder: "Hey, look, is there a person sitting over there?" ”

The man in front of him was excited, scolded his mother in a low voice, and looked carefully into the hall.

There was indeed a man sitting in the hall, with long hair scattered and motionless.

"Ouch, my mother-in-law, hey!" The man gasped and couldn't help but curse.

The other quickly covered his mouth: "You be quiet!" After saying that, he swallowed his saliva and continued, "What now? ”
