Chapter 153

"I'll go check out, you sit here and wait. Saying that, Qing Yi had already gotten up and walked towards the counter of the inn.

Nodding at Qingyi, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but glance at the guests at the surrounding tables, because it was getting late and late, and there were more and more people coming to the inn to eat, and most of the tables in the hall were full of people. It seems that because of the influence of those people, the newcomers are talking about the strange movement of the fierce beast and the attack on Lin Xuanzhong yesterday.

Sometimes, two people who have never known each other have to talk to each other through a few tables, and the inn is very lively. A little haze in his heart was gradually washed away, and in such an environment, Lin Xuanzhong knew that he didn't have time to sigh.

"We'll stay here at night," and before he knew it, Qingyi had already settled out.

In response, since Qingyi had already booked a room, Lin Xuanzhong, who was a little drunk, wanted to rest in the room for a night. He hadn't slept well since he left the station, and Lin Xuanzhong was still not used to that kind of life of sleeping in the open. Now that he finally has a guest room to live in, Lin Xuanzhong is naturally a little impatient.

Led by an inn guy, the two found a clean room on the second floor. Open the door, the room is not big, well furnished, and there is everything you need for two people. After the innkeeper briefly explained a few words and left, Lin Xuanzhong followed behind Qingyi and put the burden and long sword he was carrying on the table, and then sat down at the table to rest.

It was not early outside, and Qingyi lit a few oil lamps with a candle, and the room gradually became brighter. followed Qing Yi to open the window again, and the originally quiet room immediately became lively, and all kinds of sounds outside the window poured into the house, and I don't know how many were walking downstairs.

If you look at it in terms of sound, the city that never sleeps is really more lively at night than during the day. Following the voice, Lin Xuanzhong turned his head to look out, the sky was already dark, but the other places outside the window were not as dark as he imagined, but there were many different kinds of brilliance.

Attracted by the scene outside, Lin Xuanzhong got up to take a look at the window.

"Is it noisy?" At this time, after Qing Yi looked at the scene outside the window, he turned around and saw Lin Xuanzhong coming over and said, "If it's noisy, I'll close the window!"

"Don't be noisy, I'm here to see the situation outside," shaking his head embarrassedly, Lin Xuanzhong directly said his intentions.

"Except for people, they are still people," after saying with some emotion, Qing Yi skimmed Lin Xuanzhong and walked towards the table.

Thinking that Qing Yi was describing the situation outside, Lin Xuanzhong did not respond, but walked towards the window more quickly. With his hands on the windowsill, the colorful lights spilled in front of him, and when he looked into the street, sure enough, the streets were full of pedestrians on both sides. In the middle of the road, a convoy of mercenaries passed by, and people came and went.

Under the colorful lights, the clothes of those people became bright. Regardless of men, women, and children, Lin Xuanzhong seemed to be very happy when he saw the faces of the people walking from below.

I remember that there were not so many pedestrians on the street when I came during the day, and I don't know where so many people came out of the night, and then looked at the mercenary team that had already walked away, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but think that maybe the middle-aged team leader had already arrived in the city that never sleeps.

I haven't seen red tears for two days, and I really miss it. I hope they have a smooth journey, and after thinking about it briefly in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong's attention returned to the street scene below, everything was so prosperous. Compared with the boring mercenary life, it is still lively in the city that never sleeps.

Originally, he wanted to rest early, but after seeing the street scene below, he remembered the characteristics of the city that never sleeps, day and night, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go out for a walk immediately.

After this idea came up all of a sudden, Lin Xuanzhong immediately turned around and wanted to ask Qing Yi what he meant. As a result, Lin Xuanzhong, who had just turned around, happened to fall on a window of the inn opposite, and a slender woman was also standing in front of the window, but what surprised Lin Xuanzhong was that the woman was staring at him. Looking at each other, from a distance, Lin Xuanzhong still noticed that the other party seemed to be smiling at him, but unfortunately he couldn't see it really.

After a moment, the woman glanced away, and Lin Xuanzhong also stopped staring at the other party's face, but just now he suddenly saw that the woman had a feeling of seeing Qinglan. Thinking of Qinglan, I inevitably felt a sense of melancholy. Fortunately, he had arrived in the city that never sleeped, and his return was just around the corner, and Lin Xuanzhong felt that he would be able to go back soon to find out the news. Thinking like this, Lin Xuanzhong gradually calmed down.

"Shall we go out for a walk?" already got along well with Qing Yi, and the two were about the same age, so Lin Xuanzhong completely regarded Qing Yi as a friend, and after a long time, Lin Xuanzhong, who turned around, naturally had something to say.

"If you want to go out for a walk, of course you can, just put everything here anyway. ”

Unexpectedly, Qingyi agreed so happily, Lin Xuanzhong immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and have a look." ”

I had actually rested when I was eating just now, and now I just want to go, and I don't have anything to clean up. After locking the door, the two walked down the walkway outside the door towards the stairs.

Before they reached the top of the stairs, there was a commotion in the hall below, and the sound of slamming tables, and out of curiosity, the two of them involuntarily quickened their pace.

Not long after, when he went down to the middle of the stairs, Lin Xuanzhong saw two groups of people below arguing, and there was a guy from the inn among them.

There were still many guests in the hall, some of them sat at their original tables and chatted and laughed with their companions, and some stood in the hall, and they kept looking at the two sides of the dispute, as if they were watching the excitement.

At the feet of the standing guests, glasses and bowls of wine and food were scattered all over the floor, apparently because of the quarrel between the two sides of the dispute. After a brief observation of the situation, Lin Xuanzhong's gaze returned to the two sides of the dispute. There were five people on one side, both men and women, who looked like ordinary mercenaries from their clothes, and they all looked a little embarrassed.

On the other side, the eight people were flamboyant and brightly dressed, not like ordinary mercenaries, because they were still some distance away, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't see the specific strength of those people, and could only guess that the five people were obviously much weaker than the other party's eight people, because their faces and expressions were very embarrassing, and they were obviously the ones who were being bullied.

On the other hand, the eight people opposite, all of them looked much more natural, and a few of them were smiling. Two of them, whose facial features were originally extremely uncoordinated, looked even more obscene after laughing, and they were not good people at first glance. Judging from the faces and expressions of the two parties, the five people must be the one who was bullied, of course, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think of why the two sides had a dispute.

To Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, the ordinary inn guy stood in the middle of the two groups of people, but he looked calm at the moment, not afraid that the two people would suddenly hurt him, but the five people seemed to be very afraid of the inn guys, and now that the inn was sandwiched in the middle, they didn't dare to make any action at all.

When Lin Xuanzhong was puzzled, the innkeeper said loudly: "I don't care which of you started this matter first, since you damaged the tables and chairs of the inn and affected the inn's business, then you are jointly responsible for the loss of the inn, I don't know if you can agree?"

"We don't have an opinion," the fat man, who was the shortest of the eight people, was fat, and his face was swollen with too much flesh in response to the inn guy directly, and then he turned his eyes to look at the other five people: "I just don't know if they have any opinions?" After speaking, this person's eyes flickered, and he quickly looked at the two women among the five people, looking very obscene.

"This matter was provoked by a few of them first and lightly by my junior sister, why do you still want us to be responsible?" Standing at the front of the five, a man in his early thirties frowned and questioned the man.

"The inn has the rules of the inn, and those tables and chairs were destroyed during a dispute between the two of you, and everyone in the inn can attest to it. If they really cause trouble, you can go outside the inn to resolve the conflict, and our inn will naturally not be nosy, but you just make trouble inside the inn, and it will affect the inn's business?"

Seemingly dissatisfied with the man's questioning, the innkeeper ruthlessly used the facts to make the man and his companions understand that whoever was at fault was responsible.

After one of them, the tall man who originally wanted to confront the eight people turned pale and looked at the ground helplessly.

Although it is true that the eight people on the other side deliberately found fault first, but what the innkeeper said is the truth, I am afraid that if they do not agree to the inn's compensation request, it will be difficult for the five people to leave here.

Behind this person, his companions, two men and two women, looked younger, about the same as Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi. When the innkeepers were held accountable, several people were a little overwhelmed, and it seemed that they couldn't meet the innkeepers' demands at all.

"How much jade do you want?" asked the youngest woman standing behind her after a little flustered.

"The cost of the table and chair is ten pieces of jade, and there are thirty-two pieces of jade for the meals ordered by other guests, and twenty pieces of jade for delaying the inn's business, a total of sixty-two pieces of jade. Seeing that the five people were willing to admit the account, the innkeeper immediately pointed out all the compensation items in turn.

When the innkeepers kept quoting, the faces of the five people became more and more ugly, and in the end they were a little nervous and scared.

No matter how stupid their brains were, Lin Xuanzhong could see that they simply didn't have enough jade to pay for them.

On the other side, the eight people looked as usual, as if they didn't care about that bit of jade at all. And because they saw the other party's predicament, the eight of them were still happy, as if they wanted to see that the other party did not have enough jade.

"Counting your food money, it's a total of thirty-six pieces of jade," after calculating the specific cost, the innkeeper looked at the eight people on the other side and said, "The fee you need to pay is forty-two pieces of jade." At this point, the innkeeper waited for both sides to pay.
