Chapter 280: It turned out to be a black shop

At night, Rong Yan didn't sleep peacefully, as if there was always something blowing hot air next to her ears and constantly talking to herself, which made her so upset, you must know that drunk people like to sleep quietly rather than being surrounded by a group of whining people.

The buzzing in my head was the result of a hangover from last night.

Rong Yan sat up, rubbed her head, let out a long sigh, and stretched her waist widely.

Thinking of the uncomfortable conditions of the night, his heart suddenly moved, and he put his hand on his face, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately the veil he used to cover this trouble-inducing face was still on his face.

"Girl, girl, are you awake?" At the door was Xiao Er's voice. Rong Yan smoothed her hair out before going over to open the door, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Er quickly glanced into the room, Rong Yan looked at him, there was no trace of a smile on his face, "What's the matter, hurry up." ”

"Ah, that's right, it's already the third pole of the day, but the little ones have not seen the girl come downstairs, so the shopkeeper told the little ones to come up and see you."

Rong Yan smiled faintly, her expression was much more relaxed, and she was kind to the other party.

"You've seen people, so you don't have to stay longer." She closed the door as she spoke, Xiao Er was stunned, smiled and nodded, "Yes, you continue to rest, if you need anything, just ask." ”

Rong Yan nodded, such a dedicated and loving little second brother is really getting rarer and rarer.

After reclosing the door, Rong Yan meditated, she had been ruined by the unfortunate court life for too long, her body was not as good as before, these days she often felt dizzy and palpitations, chest tightness and shortness of breath, I don't know if something is going to happen.

After meditating for most of the day, I felt refreshed and in good spirits.

Putting her baggage away, she checked her things again, walked to the door of the room, and came back again, telling a thing and putting it in her arms. Opened the door and left.

Downstairs, she ate a bite to eat, and then she went out into the street. After that, you will probably be staying here for a while, so it is essential to understand the surroundings. She should be familiar with the environment so that she can live here in the future.

She had barely left the inn when two people flashed into her room, the shopkeeper of the inn and the talking young man who had come to knock on the door in the morning.

The two of them entered the room, sneakily checked the baggage stored in the room carefully, found nothing valuable, and opened the small box that Rong Yan brought with him to see, but after hitting a few times, he didn't open it.

The iron lock on the top of the small box is really a very reliable iron general, honestly put it in the upper and lower lids of the box, so that people can only look from the outside, but they can't open it to see what is inside.

The guy billed for a long time, but he couldn't open it, so he had to look at the shopkeeper in frustration, "Shopkeeper, this box is really weird, I tried several tricks, but I couldn't open it." ”

The shopkeeper groaned slightly, and immediately decided, "Unload the base." ”

The young man's eyes lit up suddenly, "Okay." ”

It was too late, but it was too soon, and the young man took out the knife he had brought with him, and removed the base of the wooden box, which was gray and abrupt, just a neatly folded piece of paper.

"If you see it, you're out of luck."

The young man unfolded the note and read it aloud. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard, "Unlucky? Hmph, I'm going to see how you got us out of luck. ”

The young man was also depressed, "Shopkeeper, it seems that the girl is not small, but I didn't expect this girl to be a poor ghost, and she didn't have any good things." A bag looks quite large, and it is full of changes of clothes. ”

The shopkeeper glanced at him, "After seeing the change of clothes of other girls, you are still not satisfied?" ”

The young man scratched his head, "You can only see, you can't touch, you can't get on, what's the point?" ”

The shopkeeper knocked him on the head, "Look at your beautiful boy, you have to wait for the ladder to be faced." Come on. As he spoke, his face changed, and he heard the sound of walking on the stairs outside, and the young man hurriedly reinstalled the base of the wooden box, "It's her, the sound of this girl's footsteps, it's very solid." ”

The shopkeeper opened the window, and the master and servant climbed out of the window. Falling to the ground silently, the young man cleverly jumped out of the window and then closed the window.

Before they left, Rong Yan entered the door.

As soon as she stepped into one foot, her figure stopped, for the slightest change in the room could not escape her eyes, and her face was slightly cold, and there was an imperceptible edge in her eyes that were exposed beyond the veil.

Walking into the bedroom, the first thing to check was not the small package with the purse hidden, but the small wooden box. Really! A slight smile appeared on the corner of Rong Yan's mouth. Her fingers kept rubbing back and forth under the wooden box, and she saw that the seal of the wooden box was intact, and there was no sign of the iron cable being opened, so she turned her attention to the bottom of the wooden box.

As she expected, at the bottom of the wooden box, her fingers were pricked by the frizzy wooden thorns, and she turned the wooden box over, only to find that the bottom had been opened, and it was obvious that this technique was very unskillful.

"Hmph." She chuckled, threw the small wooden box on the bed, sat down and poured a cup of tea, and drank it without hesitation, she did not expect that the people in this shop would have the courage to poison the guests who stayed here.

She put the wooden box back in place, and after thinking about it, she always felt that it was inappropriate, so she moved her fingers slightly, opened the lock, took out the strange note inside, smiled slightly, raised her fingers, and tore it to shreds.

Knowing this, Rong Yan already knew how many catties and taels the people in this store had, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, so she could only be more cautious.

She turned around and went downstairs again, and after a while, she carried a pot of wine and a box of fragrant meals back to the bedroom, and when she went upstairs, Xiao Er happened to be opposite her, and when she saw her, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, smiled kindly, and made a way for her to come out.

What a drunkard!

Xiao Er thought so in his heart, and at the same time received the information from the shopkeeper over there. Nodded silently.

Until the night falls, and everything is silent. All the guests have fallen asleep, the inn has also hung up the closing sign, Rong Yan's room is also pitch black, she put out the lights and candles when she drank until the time of the night tonight, but she did not lie down with clothes to sleep, but continued to sit at the table, pour herself a drink, so comfortable.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hallway, but it didn't stop at the door of her room. Rong Yan's ears moved, she thought about it, pinched a porcelain bottle tightly in her hand, and came to her bed silently. Leaning his shoulders against the wall, he looked at his bed for a long time.

It was as if there was a flower blooming on the bed.

But apparently, the room was quiet, so quiet that no sound could be heard. The rustle of the branches outside the window, the wind blowing through the leaves, everything remains in this silence.

*********************************

"Your Highness." Outside the door, a subordinate was announcing the progress of the matter. Li Xi was pondering a thorough strategic strategy that he had not been able to study in the past few days in the study, and when he heard his voice, he let out a low "hmm".

The subordinate outside the door walked in and knelt down on one knee, "Fourth Highness, the woman you want us to find is probably in trouble tonight." ”

"How?" Li Shi raised his head, he was always so alert about her news, and people who came deeply felt that what Miss Lisa said was really right.

"Back to Your Highness, that girl lives in a black shop."

"Black shop?" Li Shi's eyebrows tightened imperceptibly.

The subordinate continued to reply to the truth, "It is indeed a black shop, Fourth Highness, you have been to that shop before, do you think that the people and things there are very strange?" ”

Li Xian frowned and thought for a while, "No, the last time I went, it was in the dark of night, and besides, I went in disguise, and of course I didn't want to see the other people in the store." ”

The subordinate nodded, "Yes, Your Highness's Ninety-Five Noble Body, it is already dangerous enough to enter that kind of place, and your subordinates sincerely advise you to be cautious, Dabao is about to ascend the throne, at this time, you must not make any mistakes." ”

Li Shi walked over and helped this heartfelt subordinate up, and said in a sincere tone, "You are very right, Tuli Arsenic, I was indeed seduced by that girl, but you also know that even the male eagle hovering on the grassland is indispensable to find a female eagle to accompany him for life, not to mention me, Tuli Arsenic, have you forgotten that His Royal Highness is still a young man with strong blood." ”

Tuli Arsenic frowned, looked at Li Shi, and only heard Li Shi say jokingly, "If I'm not mistaken, Tuli Arsenic, are you going to marry your seventh concubine next month?" ”

Tulli Arsenic's face turned red, and the lady had to admit this fact, and her words were a little embarrassed, "This...... Ahem, well, I still bother His Highness to remember. ”

"I don't care how many wives I marry, you just need to do your best for this grassland." After speaking, Li Xian squinted at him, Tuli Arsenic nodded, and knelt down on one knee again, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will always assist Your Highness with all their hearts." ”

"No, you don't just want to help me, you want to protect the safety of the entire grassland people."

"No, in the eyes of his subordinates, only His Highness can bring a happy life to the people of the grassland, so there is no doubt that protecting His Highness is equivalent to protecting the people of the entire grassland." He said it more seriously.

Li Xian smiled, it was a truly comfortable smile, he helped him up with both hands, and a little light flashed in his eyes, "So, now, please escort me, the patron saint of the grassland people, to that black shop!" ”
