Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Storm and the Fog (1)

The sun gradually set to the west, and Yu Zijin, Lin Xiao and Shi Yi stepped on the point where the sun and the moon took over, and stepped into the gate of the Luoxia County Inn.

"Xiao'er, come to the three upper rooms, and a few more plates of signature side dishes!"

"Miss, subordinates don't have to ......" Seeing that Yu Zijin actually counted himself in, he was a little surprised, but after all, he had lived in an environment of respect and humility since he was a child, so he naturally felt that this was too much for his subordinates, so he spoke out to stop it.

"What the hell, Miss Ben still has this money." Before Shi Yi finished speaking, Yu Zijin patted his chest and put on a look of "follow me to eat meat", interrupting Shi Yi's words.

Shi Yi looked at Yu Zijin's behavior, and couldn't help but have a black line on his face, he wanted to justify, he didn't refuse her kindness because he felt that Yu Zijin had no money, but after receiving the signal from his master's eyes, he held back his words in his stomach and stood aside silently.

"Then there will be Lao Jin'er to support us." Lin Xiao took the opportunity to tease.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Yu Zijin didn't push back, and directly took over the stalk.

After a full meal, the three of them prepared to go to the guest room to rest. But he never thought that before he walked a few steps upstairs, Yu Zijin suddenly felt that there seemed to be a strange gaze locking on him, "Who?" Yu Zijin put away his smile and glanced around vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly, looked around but didn't find any suspicious people.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too sensitive." Yu Zijin didn't even feel Lin Xiao, who had deep internal strength, just now...... It should be your own delusion. How could someone stare at me, when I was tired from running around today, and my body was a little unwell.

Lin Xiao doesn't think so, this is an extraordinary time, and you can't take extraordinary things lightly. However, due to the fear that Yu Zijin was worried and thought too much, he no longer dwelled on this topic on the surface, and at the same time acquiescing, while Yu Zijin was not paying attention, he glanced at Shi Yi on the side, Shi Yi received Lin Xiao's eye signal, jumped down the steps with his sword, and carried out an expanded range of inspections.

"I'm right next door, if there's anything, call me." The two had already walked to the door of the guest room on the second floor, and because Lin Xiao was still worried about Yu Zijin's safety, they told him again.

"Okay, don't worry." Yu Zijin smiled and waved at Lin Xiao, and then walked into the guest room.

Seeing Yu Zijin's appearance, he just said a perfunctory sentence, and he didn't seem to take it to heart. Lin Xiao couldn't help her, sighed helplessly, and when she saw Shi Yi coming back, she silently walked into the guest room next door.

The first night away from home, it didn't seem to be a good night's sleep, Yu Zijin rolled around in bed for a long time, and still couldn't fall asleep.

"Who!" It's that feeling again, Yu Zijin has a big alarm bell in his heart.

Knock Knock Knock –

"Jin'er?" Lin Xiao rushed over when he heard the sound.

After Yu Zijin tidied up his clothes, he went to open the door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao looked at Yu Zijin worriedly, since she entered this inn, she had done this twice, and Shi Yi, who had just gone to investigate, did not find anything, there must be a demon when something goes wrong.

"I always feel like someone is watching me." Yu Zijin also frowned and pondered, thinking that it was his own delusion, but it was obvious that this delusion could not appear twice in a row at once. Since it's not an illusion, then it's really possible that someone is playing tricks.

"Can you sense which direction the other person is in?" Lin Xiaodao, if neither he nor Shi Yi can detect the existence of the other party, then the starting point of the matter can only start from Yu Zijin.

"No, I don't know why, it stands to reason that I don't know martial arts, and I shouldn't react more than you, but ......" Yu Zijin couldn't tell what was going on for a while, maybe it could be attributed to an intuition, but he couldn't find the source.

"In this way, I will carry the bedding and sleep on the soft couch, and if anything happens at night, I can respond in time." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiao proposed this best solution at present.

We are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, and if the other side makes any moves, it is very likely that we will be caught off guard. Besides, this matter is obviously aimed at Yu Zijin, although Yu Zijin is playful and often causes trouble, but he will not provoke such a mysterious and unpredictable person, even Lin Xiao can't feel his existence. Who is it, and what is the purpose......

Although it is not good for lonely men and widows to live in the same room, but now the situation is special, if someone is really troublesome, with Yu Zijin's three-legged cat kung fu, there may be something wrong, so when Lin Xiao proposed to move over, Yu Zijin did not do much to object, "Okay." ”

The strange thing is that it seems that he is afraid of Lin Xiao, or for other reasons, after Lin Xiao moved over, that feeling no longer appeared, and Yu Zijin slept peacefully until the next morning.

"Master?" Seeing Lin Xiao coming out of Yu Zijin's room early in the morning, Shi Yi was stunned.

"Is the carriage ready?" Lin Xiao didn't care and slowly walked downstairs.

"Everything was arranged. Master, Prince Lin An has arrived in Yancheng. ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiao didn't seem to be interested in what Shi Yi said, but when she saw Yu Zijin who was yawning towards her, her face was more playful, "Have you slept enough?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Zijin was sleepy-eyed and replied vaguely.

"Listen to the boss, out of the inn turn right, walk to about 100 steps and there is a small shop, where the sugar fried chestnuts are the most delicious." When she heard the boss talking about this matter yesterday, Lin Xiao thought of Yu Zijin, who has always liked to taste food, and she would be very interested.

"Eh, but really?" Hearing the fried chestnuts with sugar, Yu Zijin's eyes lit up instantly.

"Naturally, what are you lying about?" Seeming to be very satisfied with Yu Zijin's reaction, Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"We happen to be passing by when we're out of town, why don't we stop and buy one?"

"Whatever you want." Lin Xiao pretended not to care.

The three of them packed their bags and continued their journey.

on the carriage.

Yu Zijin put the oil-paper bag containing the sugar-fried chestnuts he had just bought on the table, then took out a plate from the cabinet, and began to peel the sugar-fried chestnuts in the paper bag and put them on the plate on the side.

"Huh?" Just after peeling the chestnuts in the oily paper bag, packing and processing the remaining paper bags, and preparing to eat the chestnut meat on the plate, Yu Zijin was confused. Obviously, he has just peeled it for a long time, how can he get this little chestnut meat out of the plate.

As if thinking of something, Yu Zijin turned his head to look at Lin Xiao. I saw Lin Xiao chewing chestnut meat in his mouth, and he was still holding a piece in his hand, and he was about to put it in his mouth, when he saw Yu Zijin turn his head and look at him angrily, the whole person froze, and he looked dazed.

"Lin Xiao! Give me back the fried chestnuts with sugar! Seeing Lin Xiao's innocent look, Yu Zijin instantly went violent.

"Don't you like to eat chestnut shells? I saw that it was too wasteful, so I helped you solve the chestnut meat. Lin Xiao's justification was justified.

"Which eye did you see that I like to eat chestnut shells!"

"I saw it in both eyes. You just peeled the chestnuts and threw the chestnut meat on the plate......" Lin Xiao's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was overwhelmed by Yu Zijin's questioning, and the few words he spit out didn't come out at the end.

"I am, I am ......" Seeing Lin Xiao's aggrieved appearance of being forcibly occupied by bullies, Yu Zijin was even more angry and couldn't organize words for a while.

Lin Xiao looked at Yu Zijin with an unpredictable expression in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled with a treacherous victory.

In fact, the reason why Lin Xiao wanted to tease the little girl was largely because Yu Zijin had become extremely tense after yesterday's mysterious incident, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. This is not a good thing, people are in a state of mental tension for a long time, and it is easy to receive external stimuli and lose control.

When you don't know what the other party's intentions are, you can only protect yourself to resist the attack from time to time. Although the process was a little "despicable", it did have the effect of relaxing her.

At noon, the horse stopped on the side of the road to rest, Lin Xiao stood under the shade of the tree and explained something to Shi Yi, Yu Zijin saw a small stream not far away, so he left the carriage and took the kettle to the stream next to it to catch some water.

Unexpectedly, just after receiving a pot and about to turn back and walk towards the carriage, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass beside him, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of two black shadows flashing one after the other.

"Lin Xiao!" Yu Zijin held the kettle nervously, if she didn't feel wrong, before the black shadow flashed, the feeling of being stared at came again.

Hearing Yu Zijin's call, Lin Xiao's expression changed, and he quickly came to Yu Zijin's side, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the mysterious man, two dark shadows just flashed from here." Seeing Lin Xiao coming to his side, Yu Zijin exhaled deeply, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Lin Xiao followed what Yu Zijin pointed at, frowning slightly, and there were obvious traces of people passing by in the grass in front of him...... His eyes motioned for Shi Yi to go and check.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shi Yi returned to Lin Xiao's side, "There are traces of a fight ahead, and there is no trace of anyone." ”

If someone fights, it means that there may be two different forces hidden around Yu Zijin. Although it is not known what the purpose of the two sides is, judging from the current situation, the participation of the two sides is temporarily better than the hostility of a single force. I only hope that they can involve each other, and in this way, they can also reduce the danger around Yu Zijin.

Even so, it doesn't mean that Lin Xiao and others can relax their vigilance, the other party is too hidden, and they can't act rashly until they don't know the details.

"From now on, don't get too far away from me, you know?" Everything that happened in front of her was too weird, Lin Xiao had to be on guard, looked at Yu Zijin who was standing quietly aside, and said solemnly.

"Hmm." Yu Zijin was also a little stunned, and his right eyelid jumped suddenly.

Since then, during the day, Lin Xiao has followed Yu Zijin inseparably, and at night, he slept on the soft couch next to Yu Zijin's bed.

However, it seems that the troublemaker has restrained a lot since the last time Yu Zijin saw the dark shadow in the grass, and there has been no similar situation in a few days. In the end, three days later, the group arrived at their destination, Yancheng.

Because the lord of Tianji Pavilion will come to Yancheng to occupy the so-called common people in the world after half a month, today's Yancheng can be regarded as very lively, with people coming and going, and there is an endless stream. On the streets, there are tall and strong men with big knives and beards, rich children who swagger through the city with a group of domestic servants, and martial arts families who travel together in uniform clothes.

After entering the city, Shi Yi drove the carriage and left first, while Yu Zijin and Lin Xiao got out of the car and walked around.

"Why, I'm not afraid today, but I'm bold again?" Lin Xiao saw Yu Zijin stop in front of a small stall, fiddling with the small bell on the stall, and couldn't help but joke.

"No, I'm calling cherishing life, you know?" A few days ago, due to the troubles of the man in black, Yu Zijin was terrified, and for twelve hours a day, except for Gong, he didn't dare to leave Lin Xiao two meters away. was ridiculed by Lin Xiao today, but he was not to be outdone, and he refuted it with confidence.

"Eh, it's a good house, let's go, I'll treat you to a good meal." Yu Zijin turned his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately dragged Lin Xiao towards Yipinju.

Lin Xiao let her pull and shook her head helplessly. He also knew that last time Yu Zijin won the fight, and he didn't need to spend money to eat in Yipinju, but at this time, he said "sanctimoniously" that he was invited to dinner, this little girl......
