Chapter 14: Strange Sounds in the Night
Zi Xiaonuo's willow whip danced wildly, surrounding his body, forming a defensive wall, and strangled towards the man in black.
Seeing this, Emperor Qitian endured the pain, jumped off the one-horned rhino, and went neck and neck with Zi Xiaonuo. A black cyclone was released in her palm, wanting to give her a chance.
The man in black was already in a weak position, but now that Emperor Qitian had joined, he had no intention of fighting again at this moment. He poured spiritual power into the sword, and burst out with a wave of cross sword qi, knocking back the two people who were chasing and turning around and fleeing.
"Don't chase it!"
Seeing that Zi Xiaonuo was angry and wanted to pursue, Emperor Qitian stretched out his hand to stop him.
The figure of the man in black quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and the group of robbers were like ashes, and willow branches broke through the ground one by one, nailing them all to death.
After doing this, Zi Xiaonuo squirted out a mouthful of purple liquid, and his face was a little pale.
"Are you alright, Queen?"
Emperor Qitian's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him. If it weren't for Zi Xiaonuo's secret transmission before, he would not have angered the man in black, but he didn't expect that forcing the other party to retreat would make her suffer a heavy blow.
"I'm fine! I'll be able to recover after a few days of rest. ”
Emperor Qitian helped her up to the one-horned rhinoceros and climbed up himself, and several people marched towards the town again.
The rest of the road is quite safe, except for the higher return rate, there is no other abnormality.
When passing by the Yuelai Station, Emperor Qitian also glanced back inside, and most of them were new faces. Although I didn't see the shopkeeper, I guess he was replaced.
He didn't choose this inn, as the saying goes, out of sight is clean, he has been working here for many years, and it is really difficult to swallow these foods.
Passing by the center of town, there is a sign with many notices pasted on it, one of which is very large and can be seen from afar.
"Brother, look over there?" Kui pointed to the sign on the notice.
Emperor Qitian turned his head and glanced at it, but he was not surprised!
"Who is this person? He looks good, much more handsome than you!"
"But the character is not good! I have been raised for thirteen years, and I don't know how to repay him! I also tried to take revenge. ”
Zi Xiaonuo also looked at it curiously, and bombarded a burst of comments.
Emperor Qitian shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't explain. The notice depicted him as he was, and it was written that he repaid his kindness with resentment, colluded with outsiders to do things in food, and wanted to discredit Yuelai Station.
The bounty is also noted below, and as long as someone provides a useful clue, there will be a reward of 100 gold coins. This is a lot of money for ordinary people.
"Let's go, there's a restaurant in front, let's go get some food." Emperor Qitian rode a unicorn and walked towards the restaurant.
"Liu's Restaurant"
Zi Xiaonuo smelled the aroma of wine and looked up at a plaque hanging at the door of the restaurant.
This restaurant is also a rare two-story pavilion in Qishi Town, which was originally on an equal footing with Yuelai Station, but over the years, business has been bleak a lot.
Seeing that some guests were coming, and they also rode a one-horned rhino, the three juniors hurriedly walked out of the restaurant and greeted each other with smiling faces.
"The three guest officers, please, our store has excellent aged wine, to ensure that the guest officers are satisfied!" one of the juniors greeted.
Emperor Qitian and the others jumped off their mounts, and the other junior saw that it was inconvenient for Kui to walk, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The last junior took their mounts down to feed, and the service was much better than that of Yuelai Station.
After entering, the aroma of the wine is more intense, and the layout is also atmospheric, but unfortunately there are not many people, only a few diners, and they are not wealthy people.
Di Qitian found a random place to sit down, picked up the menu on the bamboo slips, and ordered a few specialties here.
"A few guest officers, why don't you come to some of the old daughters of the small shop? The taste is delicious and mellow, and the quality and quantity are absolutely guaranteed. ”
"Let's try the oldest daughter of the three altars first!"
Zi Xiaonuo smashed her mouth, and Xiao Er was stunned for a while, so that she didn't reply to what she said in time.
"Little Er, can't do business anymore? The queen asked you to take the oldest daughter of the three altars. Emperor Qitian reminded helplessly.
"I'm sorry, officer! ”
At this moment, Xiao Er reacted, smiled apologetically at Emperor Qitian, and ran to prepare wine and food.
A few people didn't wait long, Xiao Er took three jars of wine, the color of the altar seal was dull, and it was indeed as Xiao Er said, some years.
Zi Xiaonuo couldn't wait to open a jar, and a burst of sweet wine fragrance came to his face.
"What are you looking at me for, I can't open it?" Seeing Emperor Qitian and the two looking at him, Zi Xiaonuo said.
It's also ashamed to say that Di Qitian has been working at Yuelai Station for four years, and he has never drunk fine wine. Even if some customers still have some leftover wine after checkout, it will not be their turn.
After all, this is the second time in my life that I have drunk.
Smelling the aroma of wine, he also opened an altar, and now he is no longer the oppressed miscellaneous servant, the altar seal is thrown away, and the wine jar is poured into his mouth.
"Good wine!"
The wine is delicious, sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless.
This meal was eaten for more than an hour, and six empty altars were placed on the ground, three of which turned out to be Zi Xiaonuo's masterpieces.
Emperor Qitian was also curious about this, thinking to himself, her body was definitely not ordinary.
"Little Er, is there still an upper room here?"
Seeing Kui Yu drunk and lying on the table, Emperor Qitian planned to rest here for one night.
"Yes! It's just this wine money?" Xiao Er trotted over and poked his fingers.
Seeing this, Emperor Qitian was not angry, took out the storage bag from Kui Yu's body, and settled the account.
"Come with me, officer. ”
After collecting the money, the shopkeeper diligently picked up Kui Yu and walked towards one of the doors of the restaurant.
Zi Xiaonuo drank a lot, but she was not drunk, and the two walked with Xiao Er. Through this door, there is a passage behind it, connecting seven or eight rooms.
"Little Er, let's open three rooms! preferably adjoining rooms. Emperor Qitian said.
"A few guest officers, the rooms are there, but they all happen to be staggered!" said the shopkeeper embarrassedly.
"Since you don't have one, feel free!"
The reason why Emperor Qitian wanted an adjoining room was also because everyone could take care of each other in case of emergency.
But come to think of it, in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, it is estimated that few people dare to fight their idea, so they don't care anymore.
"I'll choose this one!" Zi Xiaonuo walked to the far room, which was relatively well-lit, and closed the door after entering.
After Emperor Qitian asked Xiao Er to settle down, he chose a room in the middle, and there was only one room between them.
After a day of running, he was indeed tired, and it didn't take long for Emperor Qitian to fall asleep. The vortex in the body instinctively rotates, absorbing the spiritual power of the outside world.
The damaged meridians are also slowly recovering, and Zhengxiang, who was originally asleep, suddenly heard a noisy and strange sound from next door.
Emperor Qitian opened his eyes in a daze, and glanced out the window, there were still stars twinkling.
"Uh-huh~"
The strange voice came into his ears again, and Di Qitian cursed in his heart, who is so lacking in virtue, shouting so loudly in the middle of the night.
