"Let's find an inn to rest in first, and then we'll wander around tomorrow morning. After glancing at the sky, Qing Yi proposed.
In fact, the two of them were still twenty miles away from the center of the Nanjia jurisdiction, so they couldn't get there before dark, and the higher they went, the higher the cost, so it was naturally best to find a place to stay for one night, as is generally the case with people.
There were many inns on both sides of the road, and it didn't take long for the two to find an inn where the family was no more and no less. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a well-dressed fellow.
"Two guest officers, please," greeted the two warmly, and the innkeeper invited the two inside.
After entering the door, Lin Xuanzhong was a little restrained, and everything was normal in Qingyi. Following the guy, the two walked over to a small square table and sat down.
"What do the two guests need?" As soon as the two of them sat down, the man asked very politely, without any intention of despising them because they were dressed ordinarily.
At the same time, the others in the inn saw that there were new guests seated, some of them gave a brief look, and then quickly turned their gaze back, and some continued to eat theirs.
After looking around at the situation in the inn, Lin Xuanzhong found that the others didn't pay attention to him and Qingyi at all, so he naturally gradually relaxed.
"Two catties of beef and donkey meat, ordinary water and wine also come for two catties, and other shops can look at fried a few side dishes. "Qingyi's way of speaking is very generous, and there is no feeling of being born in a different place at all.
Seeing that Qing Yi's behavior was so natural, Lin Xuanzhong was deeply touched, and he was a little envious of Qing Yi's communication skills, thinking in his heart how good it would be if he could be like Qing Yi one day.
"Okay," after Qingyi said his needs very briskly, the innkeeper also responded very slowly. After briefly telling the two to wait for a while, the innkeeper turned around and walked directly to the back hall.
"Are you going to stay here at night?" It was not early now, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark after dinner, so Lin Xuanzhong wanted to ask about the night's accommodation.
"The cost of accommodation in the inn here should be about the same, Uncle Shi said that everything is very fair in the city that never sleeps, so you don't have to worry," said with a smile, Qing Yi continued: "Qingfeng, if you come, you will be safe, don't be so restrained." Although the city that never sleeps is chaotic, as long as the rules are not broken, everything is fine. ”
"I know," glancing around again, the people at the tables next to him were talking and laughing, thinking about Qingyi's words, Lin Xuanzhong nodded.
"Maybe before dark, Uncle Shi and they can also arrive," Lin Xuanzhong wanted to chat with Qing Yi when he had nothing to do.
"It's very likely, we took a long detour to see the Sword Emperor Cliff before, and the convoy was close to the main road, and their speed to the main road would not be slower than ours, maybe they could really get there. ”
"When they get to the city, shall we join them?"
"Not for the time being, Uncle Shi said that those robbers may still come to find trouble, so you'd better not be with the people of the mercenary team. ”
When it comes to those robbers, now that I think about it, Lin Xuanzhong regrets it a little, if he had known that there would be trouble, it would have been better to kill them all at that time. Of course, the most regrettable thing is that he suddenly fell into an illusion, otherwise he might be able to stop Ye Long and them by making a timely move at that time.
Thinking of Ye Long and the faces of the man in black, Lin Xuanzhong felt a sense of resentment. However, now that the realm is back to normal, even if you meet them in the city that never sleeps, you can't do anything with the two of them, but you may be in danger yourself. If this was taken into account, Lin Xuanzhong would be able to figure out why the middle-aged team leader didn't let him go with the team, everything was for the sake of caution.
In this kind of unfamiliar place, you need to be vigilant at all times, and sure enough, the martial arts world is not suitable for the weak to survive. It's not okay to hate the physique, otherwise once you become a strong person, you may not need to live so carefully. Secretly sighed, Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi talked about the convergence of the two sides again.
It didn't take long for the innkeeper to bring all the food and drinks. Two plates of cooked meat, four side dishes, and two pots of wine are enough for two people. After a brief look at the food, a burst of aroma came to his face, and Lin Xuanzhong suddenly salivated.
It's been a long time since I left the ghost city and slept on the road, and now I feel really special to sit at the table and eat.
With Qingyi, you don't have to be polite, pick up the chopsticks and Lin Xuanzhong tastes them. If you come, you will be safe, and you don't need to check whether there is any problem with the food in the inn.
Qing Yi, who was sitting opposite, saw that Lin Xuanzhong had already picked up chopsticks without saying a word, smiled and ate with Lin Xuanzhong.
The craftsmanship of the inn chef is not bad, the food is particularly fragrant, and the two of them eat with relish.
"I heard that someone killed hundreds of robbers a hundred miles north of the city yesterday!"
"I didn't hear that this had spread in the city in the morning, and it was true. ”
"One person can kill two hundred people in a short period of time, and there are no casualties on his side, how high is that person's realm. ”
"No, you can only blame those robbers who are blind and don't want to be messed with. ”
"Indeed, it's a great pleasure. ”
After Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi gradually shifted their attention to eating, the sound of the people at the table next to them talking came into their ears. It was not difficult to hear that they were discussing the attack on the convoy yesterday, and the two of them stopped in unison, looked at each other, and then looked at the table next to them.
The four guests who were talking were dressed in no particular way, and they couldn't tell whether they were from the city or outsiders, but for Lin Xuanzhong and the others, the topic they discussed was more attractive.
"Sacrificing so many people at once, I'm afraid it will be a big blow to that bandit gang. ”
"There are quite a few strongholds of those robbers in the city, and I don't know who is unlucky this time. "Like a few people on the matter, when they talked about the casualties of the robbers, their faces were happy. It is based on this that Lin Xuanzhong and the others do not need to be guarded when listening to their discussions.
"I've heard some specific information, and it's said that the man who shot it was only in his twenties!" said one man, startled, as if he didn't even believe what he was saying.
"How is it possible, Lao Tzu has lived for so many years, and he has never seen a twenty-year-old sixth-order martial cultivator with his own eyes. ”
"Shh," the person next to him immediately made a silent gesture, and then said with a cautious face: "Be quiet, don't let others hear." ”
"Oh", the person who spoke rudely just now reacted immediately, and looked around with some concern. In fact, no matter where you openly talk about the strong, it is a kind of avoidance, so you can generally only say good things. Anyway, the four of them were very happy that Lin Xuanzhong had killed so many bandits.
Throughout the ages, robbers have always been a despised martial arts group, because there are many ways to eat in the world, but they are used to robbing homes and houses, and they have always done all the evil things, and ordinary people will be ashamed of the robbers' behavior.
Now the area where the inn is located is a constant location for various mercenary teams in the city that never sleeps, in fact, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't have to worry about robbers coming to find trouble. However, it is better to be careful, because the way of bandits in general is not bright.
During the heated discussion of yesterday's facts, Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi kept eating.
Seeing that a few people said that they were extremely powerful, Lin Xuanzhong thought that it was because of the effect of the pill, and the food in his mouth gradually became unpleasant, but fortunately, it did not affect his normal eating.
Not long after, the two of them heard someone around them discussing the strange movement of the fierce beasts in the mountains. It sounded like it had been more than a day since the news of the beast's movements came, which surprised the two of them again, they didn't expect the news in the city that never sleeps to be so well-informed. Fortunately, they were just discussing, and no one mentioned the specific situation, obviously not knowing the reason for the beast's abnormal movement.
Looking back now, the picture of the black Jiao's crossing of the catastrophe at that time is still vivid, and the frightening picture of the thunder and lightning hitting the black Jiao's body, Lin Xuanzhong will never forget it for the rest of his life. In any case, the details of the beast's anomaly are known only to the members of the two mercenary teams.
Now those people are discussing so fiercely, and all kinds of speculations are more exciting than Zhang Qi's guesses at the beginning, Lin Xuanzhong can't help but want to interject a few sentences and tell them the real situation. Fortunately, the negation in Qingyi's eyes made Lin Xuanzhong dispel his thoughts in time.
After eating a meal for nearly half an hour, the whole process was not boring at all, and the fierce words of those people made Lin Xuanzhong feel like listening to a story, and Lin Xuanzhong would not forget the sentences or words that some people said.
"What is the first in the ages, what has ever been, what a peerless genius, amazing. Those high-end terms all touted Lin Xuanzhong to the sky, Lin Xuanzhong had a strong feeling that their words were indeed rare to see in the ages, but he didn't expect a little thing to be said by them so expressively, even Lin Xuanzhong, who was the person concerned, had an unreal feeling.
If it was based on an analogy, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't imagine what earth-shattering words they would use to describe the picture of the Black Jiao's crossing if these people knew some of the specific circumstances of the beast's movements. In any case, the more those people talked, the more enjoyable they became, and both of them had just finished eating, and then looking at the wine and food on their table, they were probably too engaged in talking or listening, and many people didn't even bother to eat.
Having said that, it was the first time Lin Xuanzhong had seen such a person, in order to talk about other people's affairs, he delayed his own affairs, and he was in high spirits from beginning to end.
In addition, Lin Xuanzhong also heard some news about the war in the south, and it seemed that many countries were going to war. It's just that many people in the inn have a negative attitude towards the news that the war is about to break out, so there is less talk about this matter, and Lin Xuanzhong can't listen to it.
