"According to Boss Jun's description, the place where the letter sent by the Horstus merchant was picked up was in the neighboring town, about seventy or eighty miles away from here, but it was only possible to get there by water. I asked the innkeeper just now, today's ships are all offshore, and if you want to go the fastest, you have to wait for tomorrow, and if you hurry up, you can arrive at noon. ”

In the simple inn, Yan Liwu spread out the map to indicate the route, and his expression was rubbed with a little regret.

It stands to reason that Wen Moqing is missing, and the most anxious person should be Yan Liwu, but after spending the first few days of pain and distraction, Yan Liwu quickly returned to normal, and even more energetic than before, and he couldn't find the slightest sense of frustration and panic at all. During the quarrel along the way, Bisheng also complained about it, thinking that Yan Liwu didn't care about Wen Moqing's life or death, but Ye Lingxi, who was standing outside, could see it clearly, and it was precisely because Yan Liwu cared too much about Wen Moqing, so he had this reaction.

The more critical the moment, the calmer the speech, which is diametrically opposed to Bisheng and most women.

Hosto's inn is slightly different from Dayuan, there are not so many choices for double numbers and public numbers, all rooms are narrow and simple, only allowing a bed, a table, and a chair.

In fact, none of the three of them could sleep peacefully that night, and Bi Sheng couldn't sleep well even in a hurry, all the way; Ye Ling Xi is active, always curious about new things, and most of the night is spent thinking about the various scenery and folk customs of Hosdu; Yan Li has long been accustomed to bad sleep, those hard porcelain pillows, wooden pillows made her almost wave goodbye to sleep, if there is no substitute for soft pillows, then she can only endure the pain in the back of her head until dawn.

When she closed her eyes, frowned, and forced herself to think about other things in order to suppress the irritability and anxiety in her heart, the most recollection of Yan Liwu was the soft pillow that Wen Moqing gave her when she was in Fenghuan Palace. She has always cherished that silent gift, because she was worried that it would be dirty and lost in the chaos, she specially handed it to Jun Wunian before coming to Hosto, and asked him to keep it. It was something that Wen Moqing gave her, although it was a little old, it was still more precious than anything in her heart, and she didn't know if Wen Moqing could understand this mood.

The hard pillow made it difficult for Yan Liwu to sleep, and when some bright light stained his vision red through his eyes and face, Yan Liwu quickly sensed that something was wrong.

The Hosdu Empire is not as prosperous at night as the Great Abyss, and it is rare to see people walking on the streets after beating the drums, at least at this time, who is lighting the fire in the night? Did you go out of the water? Or is there someone who is lighting a bonfire downstairs in the inn and watching the stars at night?

Awakened by his own absurd conjectures, he got up from the bed and held his breath to watch the fire reflected in the window.

The light was quiet, only slightly flickering, presumably the glow of torches, and there were quite a few torches, as if they were gathering around the inn. If it's a caravan or a group of lodging people, it's strange to look for an inn with torches instead of lanterns, and it's too quiet downstairs, if there are a lot of people, if not noisy, there should be some movement, right?

The suspicion became heavier and heavier, and Yan Liwu didn't want to guess in vain to delay the time, so he simply moved to the window lightly, only to open the window a little bit, and suddenly the cold arrow came all the time, and the window flew through the window and wiped Yan Liwu's cheeks, and nailed to the roof.

Yan Liwu gasped, closed the window without hesitation, and a few drops of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

As long as she deviated by half an inch just now, her little life would remain in the Hosdu Empire forever!

The roaring sound of cold arrows seemed to wake up Bi Sheng and Ye Ling Xi, and they heard the sound in the two houses next door, and they hurriedly shouted: "Don't open the window!" There's an ambush outside! ”

"Leave the worries! Don't move, I'll come here! In the neighboring room, Ling Xi responded anxiously, and at the same time as the cry sounded a chaotic footstep, at least twenty or so people were rushing upstairs through the narrow staircase, and there was a commotion outside the window, and a dozen iron arrows were fired through the window, and the tuk tuk tuk tuk was inserted into the window lattice.

There are pursuers outside the door, and there are ambushes downstairs, is this caught in an encirclement? It would be bad if both sides were besieged at the same time, and even if the three of them joined forces to meet the enemy without any gaps, they might not win.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a touch of joy flashed in his worried eyes. Quickly took the small oil pot filled with lamp oil and lifted the wooden cork, Yan Liwu moved to the window close to the left wall, and took advantage of the gap when the rain of arrows stopped and the second wave had not yet started, he pushed the window open, and a pot of lamp oil spilled out directly.

The sound of the oil splash sounding much more violent than when the lamp was lit, and in the blink of an eye, it provoked a scream of surprise. Yan Liwu roughly thought about what would happen if the torches in those people's hands were poured with lamp oil, and wanted to laugh a few times but didn't have the leisure time, after taking a look at it, she swallowed hard - fortunately, she didn't open the window recklessly just now, the small team of a dozen people downstairs was not so terrible, and the scary thing was that the ten hard bows, if they were facing each other, they would have to be worn into a sieve.

While the ambushers downstairs were in a mess by the lamp oil, Yan Liwei seized the opportunity to climb the window edge, turned over against the outer wall of the inn, kicked open the window of Ye Lingxi's room and got in.

Ye Ling Xi's room also did not escape the attack of the bow and arrow, and when the scarred window was kicked into the room by Yan Liwu and fell, Ye Ling Xi was raising the table with both hands and looking blankly, just to the stunned expression of Shang Yan Liwu.

“…… Ling Xi, what are you doing? ”

"Fighting, didn't someone rush up?" Shaking the table, Ye Ling Xi replied as a matter of course.

Yan Liwu was very reluctant to believe that her good sister had the weird idea of hitting people on the table, but unfortunately when the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, she could only acquiesce to Ye Lingxi's seemingly rough and terrible behavior - the door was knocked open from the outside in, and the person who rushed into the room first was originally quite complacent, but when he saw the situation in the house, his face was full of ashes, and he screamed and crashed into the accomplice behind him and flew out together.

Of course, there are also tables that fly out.

"Ling Xi, if you have time to buy a small and convenient weapon, I'll pay for it." Watching Ye Ling Xi rush to the door and pick up the loose table again, he felt like he wanted to cry without tears.

Ye Ling Xi rolled up his sleeves with one hand, and looked at a few enemies on the ground who were groaning in pain with a serious expression: "It's too troublesome, you can use whatever you have at hand, isn't it quite convenient?" If they are broken, we don't have to lose money. ”

He decided to remain silent.

I don't know if it's because I underestimated the strength of the three women, but the people who ambushed inside and outside the inn didn't have as many people as expected. In front, Ye Ling Xi waved the square table left and right to open the way, and there was Bi Sheng's long sword flying in the back to protect it, and the three of them quickly rushed out of the inn, but the outside was obviously not the same concept as the way out, and at the moment when the three of them jumped onto the street, another group of soldiers dressed in soft armor and neatly assembled poured out of the alley, quickly surrounding the three of them.

"Which one is the girl who is away from the worries? My adults are invited, and I hope that Miss Yan can come with us. Behind the crowd, a well-dressed middle-aged man bowed his hand, and although his words were polite, his tone was very tough.

Ye Ling Xi raised his eyebrows and slammed the table upright on the ground: "There is no salt girl here, only sugar girl, you are looking for the wrong person!" ”

Heavily deployed troops to carefully ambush, the other party must have figured out the identities of the three of them, and they will never stop easily. Yan Liwu understood that these people would definitely be entangled to the end, and he simply did not deny his identity, Huang Chengjian turned in his hand, and the sharp edge of Xue Liang reflected a delicate face: "Who is the adult of your family?" How come I don't remember that I still have friends in Hostus? ”

"Who is the adult of my family, Miss Yan will naturally know when I go with me. The lord has instructed that as long as Miss Yan is willing to appreciate her face and stop making trouble, we must not move the other friends who came with us, and I also asked a few people to put down their swords and not hurt the harmony. ”

"Fart, you did it first, aren't we allowed to fight back?" Ye Ling Xi Xing's eyes widened, and he squinted angrily, "I don't care what kind of goods your lord is, I want to see who let him invite himself, your Hosdu Empire's rude and unreasonable hospitality is not feasible in front of our Dayuan people!" ”

Ye Lingxi's personality is the most straightforward and uninhibited, knowing that strangers must not be trusted in a foreign country full of dangers, so he simply refused to even say more nonsense, and directly raised the table above his head and threw it horizontally.

Yan Li looked at the six roads with worried eyes, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he had to lower his voice and said: "There are people all around, and you will definitely not be able to get out if you break through, so you can only fight and take advantage of the chaos to walk on the road." ”

Bi Sheng looked up and saw that the surrounding houses were all about two people-high ceilings, and his suspicious eyes were undisguised: "Can I go up, can you two do it?" If you can't go up at that time, you will be exposing the flaws to the enemy. ”

With the current skills of worrying about words, although the light skills are not very good, it is still possible to jump on the roof, as for Ye Lingxi...... He glanced at the righteous sisters with a somewhat bitter face, and sighed silently.

The aunt and grandmother who said everything in the border barracks, fought with the table, scolded people to call Lao Tzu, and there was no problem in being rampant and domineering among a group of soldiers and brothers, but it was not so easy to jump on the roof, after all, Ye Ling Xi would be heavy fists and hard feet, and it was really more difficult for her to have a set of decent routines and light skills, which was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"Ling Xi, you follow me." Without a trace, he moved in front of Ye Ling Xi's body, and Yan Liwu protected him behind him as much as possible. Anyway, she is a "disciple" taught by Wen Moqing and Tong Ruchu herself, plus the original skills of this body, and now her skills are far above Ye Lingxi, and she has to devote three points of energy to protect if she really starts - in this excessive situation where even Wen Moqing can get into trouble, who knows what kind of threat the lurking in the crowd is? Let Ye Lingxi, who has nothing to do with it, encounter an accident, she can't do this kind of thing.

The middle-aged man saw that the three of them did not mean to be captured, and bowed slightly to the side, and immediately someone whispered strangely, and a row of bows and crossbows pointed straight at him, with the threat of death or surrender.

The tension was the most nervous, but suddenly there was a loud shout that broke the deadlock and made Yan Li's heart tremble, half of them were surprised that someone could help in the siege, and the other half was slightly frightened by the sound and almost dropped the Huang Cheng Sword.

"Miss Bisheng, Miss Yan, get out of the way!"

Several figures from far and near walked easily between the beams, and the moment they saw the faces of the people who came, Yan Liwu pulled Ye Ling Xi to the side quickly, and Bi Sheng also jumped to the roof, full of surprise and nowhere to hide.

"Brother Gongsun!"
