Twilight.

"Princess, we've been walking here for a day and a night, and the wind and snow outside are so heavy, let's find a place to live first."

I rubbed my eyebrows a little tiredly, and looked out of the carriage window where the curtain was opened, only to see a white expanse.

At this time, the wind and snow were in full bloom outside, and the moment I lifted the curtain, the wind mixed with the snowflakes like light feathers had already blown into the carriage, and fell on the hem of my skirt, I reached out and dusted it off, and a trace of coolness took the opportunity to drill into my heart from my fingertips.

I couldn't help frowning, and took a breath of hot air into my palm, and when the coolness faded a little, I put my eyes on a lantern hanging from the roof of the carriage, "Where have we been?" ”

When the horse lantern swayed from side to side with the bumps of the carriage, the evening girl beside me suddenly opened her mouth, "Back to the crown princess, now you have arrived at Jicheng on the border with Zheng Guo." ”

"Jicheng..."I muttered.

Seeing my thoughtful look, Wan'er continued, "Calculate the journey, if you are fast, you will be able to arrive in Jiangbei tomorrow!" ”

"Really? Tomorrow—" I paused, and finally relieved myself in the hopeful gazes of the two girls, "Well, let's find an inn to stay in tonight!" ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and there was a hint of relief between their eyebrows, and then they hurriedly informed the coachman.

In the end, on such a snowy journey, the coachman took us to grope left and right for a long time, and finally found a post house.

It's just that as soon as we got out of the carriage, we didn't even have time to cross the threshold when we heard a warm and high-pitched voice coming from inside, "Yo, what are you doing?" ”

What's the point?

I raised my eyebrows and looked at a slightly short and fat middle-aged uncle who came out of the dim light, a little speechless.

Let me ask, on such a snowy evening, what else can I do but come to the hotel?

Seeing that I didn't understand very well, Wan'er hurriedly leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Crown Princess, he is asking if we want to rest or change horses." ”

"Oh!" After she said this, I suddenly realized, and then turned my eyes to the uncle, and said with a smile, "Sir, we live in a hotel!" ”

"Staying in a hotel? It's good to stay at the hotel! A hint of cunning flashed in the middle-aged uncle's eyes, and he hurriedly made a "please" gesture towards us.

I'm not welcome, and I led a few guards behind me, Peach Heart and Wan'er to step into the door.

But after entering, the middle-aged uncle first stretched out his right hand, and deliberately pinched his index finger, middle finger and thumb in front of me, and then said with a twisted demeanor, "A few guest officers, it's easy to talk about staying in the hotel, but you have also seen it today, and my post house is actually overcrowded, but please rest assured, there are still guest rooms where you live, just look..."

With that, the uncle's fingers pinched again.

I understood and immediately looked at Peach Heart.

After Momoxin nodded at me, she handed the money bag into the hands of the middle-aged uncle, and said, "Here are ten taels of silver ingots!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the uncle's face suddenly sank, and he coldly threw the money bag back into Taoxin's hand, and said angrily, "You are here to ask for food?" ”

"How do you say that? Mr? I looked at Momoshin and finally landed on the money bag with ten silver ingots.

Could it be that he is too little? But ten taels of silver ingots can not be said to be a one-night stay, even three or four nights are enough for his small inn.

The uncle was very disdainful at this time, "I saw that you were all dressed brightly, but I didn't expect that you were also a bunch of poor ghosts!" You broken silver taels still want to live in my store? Let's go... There's no money to make any fools here! "Uncle is going to drive people away.

"You!" Tao Xin moved forward angrily, but fortunately, the steady evening stopped her in time.

I took the opportunity to look at the hall of the inn at this time, and now I saw no one here except us.

The table top and stool were even piled with a thick layer of dust, so it looked like no one had patronized it for a long time, but the uncle said that it was overcrowded?

I glanced at the uncle, and I immediately understood.

Lost in the wind and snow outside, he was afraid that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a windfall, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense here, the purpose was to raise the price!

But I should not say it at this time, after all, the coachman has worked hard to find this inn, and now I will go out to find the next one and not mention whether I can find it, as far as the snowstorm outside is concerned, I really can't bear to follow my tired group of people to follow me and then follow me to adventure.

So I didn't move, and smiled at the corners of my lips, "Sir, it's better to be like this, you can talk about it for the time being... How much does it cost to stay overnight? If we pay the starting price, we will live, if not, we will have to find another home. ”

"Hmph," the uncle let out a cold snort from his nose, and said very disdainfully, "It's not me who scares you, if you can find a serious place to live like me within a radius of ten miles, even if it is your ability!" ”

I sneered, okay... Listening to this tone, not only do you want to make a windfall, but also want to sit on the ground and raise the price, anyway, we are like a group of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered in his eyes at this time.

"How much does it cost to stay overnight, sir." I lifted my eyelids without smiling and looked directly at him.

The uncle was stunned for a moment, then raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, "At least this number!" ”

"Twenty taels? That's easy to say..."I looked behind me, and Mommy reached out to pull out her pocket.

The uncle opened his mouth coldly, "It's twenty gold!" ”

"What?" My fingers clenched.

You know, you say that you are in this kind of poor country, even if you live in the most prosperous inn in Jicheng for a night, it costs less than two taels of silver, and now this black-hearted shopkeeper actually asks me for twenty gold?

"Can you live? If you can't afford it, get out of here! Hugh wants to bother me to pick up other guests! ”

"It's... Sir, the price is a bit high! "It's just taking advantage of the fire!

Hearing me say this, the middle-aged uncle's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and he was about to bombard us out, "Go, a group of poor ghosts are really in vain!" ”

"Bold!" Taoxin's eyes turned red, and he raised his hand and said directly to the uncle's face, "You who make black money, you are not afraid of retribution!" ”

"What did you say?" The middle-aged uncle narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, I hurriedly pressed the emotional peach heart.

As the saying goes, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, after all, it is in someone else's territory, and it is better to try to avoid conflicts with him.

Thinking of this, I still said to the uncle, "This gentleman, this little girl in my family is still young and doesn't understand the rules, you have a lot of adults, but don't worry about her as a woman." ”

"Humph!" When the uncle saw me say this, his face softened a little.

Then he flicked his sleeves and waved his hand very impatiently, "If you want to live in the hotel, then hand over twenty gold, if not, then please!" ”

The uncle turned sideways and made a gesture of way towards the door.

But at this moment, a sharp knife flew in everyone's sight...

The blade slashed through Uncle Blackheart's neck by the way...

Then, a hoarse wail rang in his ears.

A lot of blood oozed from Uncle Blackheart's broken neck, and it hit the instep of his foot drop by drop, crackling.

The black-hearted uncle covered his neck, looked down in a daze, and immediately sat on the ground with his frightened legs limp and didn't react for a while.

And everyone was still immersed in the terrifying scene just now, and they didn't understand what was going on.

Suddenly, a very charming chuckle came from outside the door, "Oops, it's so bad!" ”

When I waited for the reputation, I felt as if my brain was starved of oxygen in an instant, and I forgot to breathe and had to stare at my eyes and freeze in place.

Why? It's because of the long figure that slowly stepped through the door, and for a moment even gave me an illusion, is he an immortal from the mountains?

At this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that the man is afraid that he can be a little more beautiful than the immortal family.

An inky hair is as long as smooth and smooth silk, slightly curled in a bun behind the head, the unusually slender and delicate eyebrows are slightly raised at this time, and a pair of obsidian-like deep eyes at the bottom are exuding the charm of seduction, and the magnificent lips under the bridge of the heroic nose are gently pursed, evoking a trace of bohemian smile.

Coupled with the lilac robe that was slightly dyed with wind and snow, reflecting Shengxue's skin, the whole person was like an immortal who appeared out of thin air in the snow.

"Almost, I'll kill you!" The fairy raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and then stepped in with long legs.

Still holding a sharp knife in his hand, he squatted down and looked at the black-hearted uncle with a smile, "You just... How much does it cost to stay overnight? ”

As he spoke, the sharp knife in the hand of the immortal family slashed at the black-hearted uncle's cheek.

The cold touch made the black-hearted uncle suddenly excited, and he was so frightened that he crawled back a few meters like waking up from a dream, and while screaming at the pig, he begged urgently, "Ancestors of chivalry, please spare the little one's life!" The small one is grateful when he is a cow and a horse! ”

I looked at him like a coward, and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

But he just smiled, but for some reason, the immortal family over there suddenly got up, paced to me, and began to look at me carefully.

I was given goosebumps by his eyes, and hurriedly laughed, "This... Knight-errant? Uh-hehe... What's wrong? ”

The immortal family didn't reply to my words, just stared at me for a long time, his thin lips opened lightly, and his very charming voice fell, "I like your face." ”

"Huh?" My back straightened, and I stared blankly at the peerless immortal family in front of me.

I was puzzled by his inexplicable words, what did this guy mean?

Before I could think about it, the immortal suddenly raised his hand and took a sachet from my waist.

"What is this doing?" I took a step back.

The fairy family gently hooked the corners of his lips, put the sachet close to the tip of his nose and sniffed, "I just think your spice is very unique, I like it very much." ”

"Really?" I laughed dryly, "In that case, I'll give it to you!" ”

The hand holding the sachet was slightly stunned for a moment.

I didn't care, I thought that a mere sachet was worthless anyway, let alone being taken by a strange man, even if I got it back, I wouldn't hang it again.

But for some reason, Momoshin behind me seemed to reach out and poke me.

I looked back and saw her frowning, and I didn't know what was wrong.

I opened my mouth to ask her.

At this time, a man in a strong suit behind the immortal family took out the saber in his hand and said to the immortal family in front of me, "Childe, don't talk nonsense with him, just kill him with a knife!" ”

"Shut up!" The fairy family withdrew the gaze placed on me, and took the sachet into his arms.

He glanced at the man in the suit coldly, "When will it be your turn to teach me how to do it?" ”

The man in the suit realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly bowed to the immortal family again, "The subordinate is guilty!" ”

The fairy family snorted coldly, and slowly walked in front of the black-hearted uncle, his voice was as cold as the cold wind blowing outside the door, "I remember asking you just now, how much is a night?" ”

The black-hearted uncle who almost went to hell for a long time was so frightened by this immortal family that he lost his soul at this moment, where did he dare to open his mouth to say how much it cost to stay for a night.

In order to save a small life, he knelt on the ground tremblingly and kept kowtowing to the immortal family, and his legs trembled more like chaff.

"Don't want money, don't want money, just ask all the chivalrous ancestors to let me live!"

"Ha..."The fairy family sighed, a trace of disgust was obviously crossed on his face, and then his slender fingers took a money bag from his sleeve and threw it on the black-hearted uncle, and raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough, enough..."The black-hearted uncle didn't dare to look at it, so he kowtowed to the fairy family.

It wasn't until he kowtowed to his head and broke the blood that the immortal family bypassed him expressionlessly and walked straight to the upstairs of the post house.

It's just halfway through that the immortal family suddenly remembered something and looked back at me.

Coldly dropped a sentence, "Gongsun and grandson!" ”

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.

The fairy family pursed his lips and smiled at me, and in an instant, everything around me lost its color...

Finally, a magnetic voice entered my ears.

"My name is Gongsun Zidu!"
