Chapter 016 One night at the hotel

……

In the Prancing Horse Hotel, Li Yang lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, looking at the roof, his eyes full of contemplation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

From Rivendell all the way to the Prancing Horse Hotel, passing through Fengyunding, Li Yang tried his best to restore the route Frodo had taken, but did not meet Frodo.

After talking with the innkeeper Baliman, Li Yang also learned that no hobbits had been to the hotel recently.

In other words, Frodo and his party have not yet arrived at the Prancing Horse Inn.

This further confirms Li Yang's previous conjecture, that is, the plot has just begun, and Frodo is still in Shire, and may be on his way to the Prancing Horse Hotel.

Or maybe the plot hasn't unfolded at all, and the Lord of the Rings isn't even in Frodo's hands, but in Bilbo's hands.

Everything is possible.

It's just that the odds of each possibility are different, and after Li Yang's analysis, he thinks that Frodo is more likely to be in Shire.

Once the analysis has come to a conclusion, the next step is to make a choice.

There are two options.

A. Stay at the Prancing Horse Hotel, wait here for the scriptures Frodo, wait for the rabbit, and save worry and effort.

B. Leave the Prancing Horse Hotel, arrive at the Shire, smash the Yellow Dragon, directly surrender the lair, and capture the scripture Frodo alive.

There are few options, but they are much more difficult than the multiple-choice questions on the test paper.

It stands to reason that Li Yang should choose A, but after weighing it twice, he chose B, and he recited a few words like a sutra in his mouth.

"Answering questions will not go over, first easy and then difficult to build confidence"

"I really won't choose B, the probability is not low"

- (For reference only: this paragraph is excerpted from "Winning Decision", the original author Bi Daqian) ......

Li Yang swore that he did not choose B because he believed in something, but he really thought it through.

Choosing A is indeed worry-free, but it is time-consuming, and there are two points at the same time, which have to make Li Yang worried.

First, the iron box is in the hands of the elves, and after a long time, if they break through the secret of crossing and invade the earth on a large scale, with the brutality shown by the elves in Li Yang's perspective, once they invade the earth, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the earth.

For the sake of the people of Li and the country, Li Yang can't choose A, which is a worry-saving but time-consuming choice.

Of course, this is a beautiful word, in fact, Li Yang is worried about the iron box.

Second, if you wait for Frodo at the Prancing Horse Hotel, it will not only be Frodo who will be waiting for you, but also the Wanderer, that is, Aragon.

In Li Yang's eyes, if the Lord of the Rings is compared to the otherworldly version of Journey to the West, and Frodo is a Tang monk who learns scriptures, then the future human emperor Aragorn is Sun Wukong.

Among the masters and apprentices, no, in the Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn is definitely the one with superior combat power.

The future human emperor, that's a joke!

Take a look at the plot.

Aragorn was ordained by Gandalf and waited at the Prancing Horse Inn for Frodo, who was the scribe, and then willingly took Frodo on his way.

Consider Aragon's record.

In the Prancing Horse Hotel, he successfully took away Frodo and other burdens from the hands of the Ring Spirit, and rescued Frodo, who was besieged by the Ring Spirit at the top of the wind and clouds, and also showed his skills in the Moria Tunnel, and after being abandoned by Frodo next, it was even more like a hanging.

Participated in the war between the two kingdoms of Rohan and Gondor and Sauron, and then it was even more domineering, shocking countless undead, and driving the undead to fight as if it were open, becoming a great magic weapon to repel Sauron's army, and finally successfully reached the top, crowned with glory, and achieved the emperor of men.

At this point, the Lord of the Rings trilogy ends.

If Li Yang chooses to stay at the Prancing Horse Inn, then when Frodo arrives, Aragorn will also come, and if he wants to obtain the Ring from Frodo, he will inevitably fight with Aragorn.

Don't make trouble, after knowing Aragorn's bravery, Li Yang still went to fight him, isn't that something wrong with his brain!

His goal is the Lord of the Rings, not battles, and once a battle occurs, the plot will become more and more uncontrollable.

Li Yang's battle with Aragorn was unforeseeable.

"If I fight with Aragorn and I lose, I won't get the Ring of the Ring, and I even have to worry about my life, and if Aragorn loses, I'm afraid the plot after the Lord of the Rings will have nothing to do with him, God knows what the plot will become at that time"

"If there is a butterfly effect and the plot changes greatly, then the advantage of my traverser will be gone!"

Li Yang casually picked up a piece of bread from the dinner plate at the bedside and ate it, making a slurred sound in his mouth as he ate.

"I'm not stupid enough to fight Aragorn!"

To sum up, Li Yang chose B.

Facts have proved that Li Yang has really thought it through.

The soft bread and a glass of milk on the plate, combined with the two, were originally a very ordinary meal, but Li Yang ate with relish.

He had never thought bread was so good.

From time travel to today, Li Yang has either eaten wild fruits or dried food looted before, in comparison, the combination of bread and milk is simply delicious in the world.

For a whole day, Li Yang didn't go anywhere, just stayed in his room, either eating or sleeping, and nourishing his spirits.

At night, Li Yang got up in good spirits.

"Alas! Since I came into this world, my biological clock has been completely disrupted, and I have dark circles under my eyes, how long will it take for this to go away......"

Li Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the mirror with one hand, touching his face with the other, and complaining to himself in the mirror.

At this time, there was a movement at the door, the voice was very low, obviously deliberately suppressed, but it was still accidentally heard by Li Yang.

"Someone!"

Li Yang's heart suddenly rose vigilant, and the first thing that came to mind was the elf, but he immediately denied it.

With the light body of an elf, it is too easy to get close to the room without making a sound, and those who can make such a mistake must be very strong.

The door didn't open, and everything was quiet.

Li Yang thought about it, and immediately understood the reason, turned off the lights in the house, and at the same time hid behind the curtains, and could see with the help of the moonlight.

Time passed slowly.

Ten minutes later, the room was still quiet, and no light leaked out of the crack in the door, it is estimated that the people outside thought that the people inside had fallen asleep, and a slender sharp knife passed through the crack in the door, and easily opened the locked door.

The door was gently pushed open, only halfway open, enough to accommodate people to enter, and then four people sneaked in one after another.

Just as Li Yang expected, these four people were all strong men with big shoulders and round waists, and as soon as they came in, they went straight to the big bed in the room.

The sharp knife used to pry the door before has become a murderous weapon this time, and the four people gathered around the bed, and the four sharp knives stabbed at the bed quilt together.

Puff puff!

The mattress was punctured.

The fluff flew all over the place.

It's a pity that Li Yang has already noticed it, and now he is not in bed, the wishes of the four of them were disappointed, and they were soon attacked.

The attack came from Li Yang, who also had a murderous weapon in his hand.

Li Yang lurked over, quickly approached the back of one of them, held the dagger back, and struck the back of the neck with the hard handle of the dagger.

This person's body was shocked, and then his eyes lost their luster and he was knocked unconscious, and at the same time, Li Yang and the other three people were awakened.

But Li Yang had already prepared, and after knocking out a person, the dagger flew out of his hand and directly used it as a dart, this time with the tip of the knife in front.

Burst!

The sound of something piercing was heard, followed by screams, and a man was stabbed in the abdomen, not fatally, but bleeding horribly.

The man was frightened, and he couldn't care about anything else, what kind of murder and gold, other accomplices, and counterattack Li Yang, he couldn't care about anything.

Hurriedly ripped off the mattress and covered his bleeding wounds, not even daring to pull out the knife, for fear that he would lose too much blood and die after pulling out the knife.

Barely holding back the speed of bleeding, he hurriedly ran out of the room, trying to hurry up to heal his injuries, but just after running two steps, he was shocked to find that there was one more person at the door.

Li yang.

The next moment, the room lit up.

The stunned man looked back and found that the other two had fallen to the ground at some point, and he was the only one standing in the room, but he was the only one closest to death.

The mattress wrapped around the wound had been soaked red with blood, blood was flowing from the floor, blood loss was increasing, and consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.

The wound must be treated quickly.

"Get out of the way!" He shouted hysterically as hard as he could, but when his voice came out, he seemed weak.

Under the persecution of death, he was fearless of Li Yang, who was guarding the door, and rushed towards the door, his steps a little vain.

Li Yang stood straight in front of the door, looking at it coldly, he didn't even have the intention of making a move, just moved his eyes down and looked at the gangster's weak steps.

"One step"

"Two Steps"

"Three Steps"

Just three steps, when the fourth step was taken, the gangster could no longer support it, and he fell to the floor, still frontal.

The dagger is still in the abdomen, and once it falls to the ground and the abdomen collides with the floor, the dagger will penetrate the abdomen completely.

In this era, it is estimated that only magic can save him.

At this moment, a foot appeared and pushed against his fallen body.

……

A few hours later, late at night, Li Yang was still in the Prancing Horse Hotel, still in that room, and there were four people lying on the floor next to him.

Li Yang sat on a chair, his clothes were neatly dressed, a long sword, a dagger, a bow and arrows, and even the horse was fed early, just outside.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Yang's calm face showed a hint of joy, and when he walked out, he saw that it was Baliman, the owner of the Prancing Horse Hotel.

"This is what you want," Baliman knew that Li Yang didn't understand his words, but he still said respectfully, and handed over a sealed envelope.

"Here's the rest of your money," Baliman handed over another money bag, which he had set up himself.

"No, it's all for you, it's just as compensation for you" Li Yang didn't take the money, but said a word in Chinese.

Too lazy to translate.

Li Yang nodded at Baliman, put away the envelope, ignored the money bag, and pointed to the closed room behind him.

Regardless of whether Baliman could understand it or not, he walked away from him.

The "guest" Baliman really didn't understand, but from Li Yang's actions, it seemed that this bag of money was gone.

"To yourself?"

Baliman subconsciously licked his shriveled lips, only to hear a loud neighing of horses outside, and it was no surprise that Li Yang had already ridden away, so he was sure that the money was for himself.

Baliman was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Putting the money bag into his pocket solemnly, Baliman, who made a lot of money, excitedly entered the state of work, anyway, he also went to the guest room, just tidy up the room.

So he entered the room.

When I saw the four people lying on the ground in the room, as well as the destroyed mattresses, the wounded, and the blood on the floor.

Baliman's face changed suddenly.

This time, he seemed to vaguely understand what Li Yang meant by giving him money.
