Chapter 263: Three Bends
It was late at night, the lights in the inn were dimmed a lot, everyone might have rested, and the upstairs and downstairs seemed unusually deserted.
Li Ding walked in front with light steps, and found that Liu Li behind him did not make a sound when she advanced, as if her feet were not touching the ground at all.
When she arrived at the staircase, seeing that Li Ding was in a hurry, Liu Li suddenly said, "Are you going to leave?" Although I said that as long as you go out of this door, it doesn't matter to me where you go, but I still have to give you another piece of advice......
Li Ding was about to listen carefully, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, he turned his head to look, and found that it was Zhang Shopkeeper and Father Jin, it turned out that these two people had been waiting there, but Wang Lei was missing.
As soon as he saw Li Ding, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately raised his head and smiled: "How about Lei Gongzi, Boss Liu cooks by himself, but what treasures have you eaten?"
"Shopkeeper Zhang, Boss Liu's cooking skills are the best in the world, no matter what you do, presumably Lei Gongzi will definitely be happy. On the side, Daddy Jin came up and said.
"It's fine. Li Ding replied calmly, looking at Daddy Jin below, although his expression did not change, his heart was mixed.
Here, Liu Li said with a smile: "It's late at night, since Shopkeeper Zhang is still waiting here, let's lead Lei Gongzi to rest." ”
"Well, yes, it's not early, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, and I should rest. Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and said, "Young Master Lei, our guest room is below." ”
"However, it seems that the three of you live in one room with Shopkeeper Zhang, how about Lei Gongzi and my old man live in one room?" Seeing Li Ding coming down, Father Jin spoke.
"It's okay, Mr. Lei. You don't know how loud Wang Lei's snoring is, or you will live in a room with Jin Ye tonight. Shopkeeper Zhang also immediately agreed. After all, today he thinks that if he hadn't met Daddy Jin, he might not have been able to keep Li Ding.
Li Ding sighed lightly. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Li said again: "I was just about to say that Lei Gongzi has just arrived, in fact, the three bends are not as peaceful as imagined, with my experience, it is best not to act alone, and it is the best choice to go together." ”
"Yes, have a good night's rest, and let's go on the road together tomorrow morning, Lei Gongzi. Daddy Jin said without losing any time.
Maybe the shopkeeper couldn't hear anything. Li Ding heard something from the words of the two, and said with a piercing look in his eyes: "Okay, but I'll still live with Shopkeeper Zhang and them, so I won't bother Daddy Jin." ”
After speaking, Li Ding signaled to the shopkeeper Zhang, who immediately smiled and bowed to Liu Li and Daddy Jin, and led Li Ding to the direction of the guest room.
When Li Ding and Shopkeeper Zhang walked into the aisle, Liu Li suddenly shook her figure, and instantly appeared in front of Daddy Jin and whispered with a gloomy face: "Old Jin." Dare to be close to my guest, do you seem to have forgotten what I said? ”
The corners of Daddy Jin's mouth twitched, and he said, "Boss Liu, but I told you this." I'm just a little curious about what this young man is all about. ”
"Hugh asks more, you just have to remember one thing. Everything about Lei Gongzi will be rotten in your stomach from this moment on. It's best to pretend that you haven't seen this person and never mention it to anyone again. Otherwise, don't blame my men for being ruthless. Liu Li's voice was extremely cruel, making people shudder to hear it.
"That'...... Between you and me?" asked Daddy Jin with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Cut it by half, and you should be satisfied. By the way, if you encounter such strange things in the future, remember to notify me as soon as possible. Liu Li said coldly.
"Definitely, definitely, then I'll go to rest too, so I won't bother Boss Liu. Daddy Kim looked happy and turned to leave.
Liu Li also turned to go upstairs, but a smile quickly appeared on her originally gloomy face, which seemed meaningful.
On the other side, Li Ding had already followed the shopkeeper into the room, and he heard a burst of snoring like thunder outside the house, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt Wang Lei's snoring sound even more shocking.
However, Li Ding didn't mind, seeing that Wang Lei was sleeping on a bunk, he went straight to another bunk, but was pulled by the shopkeeper Zhang and said, "Lei Gongzi still sleeps on the bed, I'll sleep on the bunk." ”
Li Ding waved his hand, lay down directly on the ground, closed his eyes and stopped talking, the shopkeeper Zhang was helpless, and after standing and rubbing his hands a few times, he had to walk to the side of the bed and lie down in a wide coat.
In fact, how could Li Ding fall asleep at this time, he just wanted to calm down and sort out his thoughts, after all, what happened just now was too unexpected, obviously his identity had been exposed, but he didn't expect Liu Li to let him go.
Li Ding traveled all the way, it can be described as dangerous step by step, because Lei Mu's dual vitality is too special, he will choose to disperse the wood attribute vitality. But judging from the fact that there is no mention of his Lei Mu Shuangyuan Qi on the wanted warrant, only the royal family should know this, so how did Liu Li know about this and see through his identity accordingly?
The more Li Ding thought about it, the more confused he became, and after thinking about it for a long time, except for the link of Daddy Jin, he couldn't think of what was wrong there, he just felt that these two people were unfathomable, especially Liu Li, who was so calm when he saw through his identity, coupled with the strength of Ming's state of mind, this woman was really too powerful.
Time flies, and it is already dawn in a blink of an eye, and Li Ding doesn't know when he fell asleep, so he sat up almost at the same time as Wang Lei.
Seeing Li Ding beside him, Wang Lei was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Lei, what realm are you, do you really dare to fight with the Imperial Spirit Realm?"
Li Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wang, don't listen to the nonsense of the father surnamed Jin, if I really have that ability, I won't be scared to pee my pants when I pass the Jade Dragon Pass." ”
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Ding was mindful of his words yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Lei, I was wrong yesterday, it must be as the shopkeeper Zhang said, you must have your reasons, as a brother, I will apologize to you first." ”
Li Ding was about to explain, but suddenly the door opened, and the shopkeeper Zhang walked in and said: "It seems that Lei Gongzi doesn't know the name of Jin Ye, since he said this, I don't think it will be groundless, but Lei Gongzi doesn't want to say it, I don't think you need to ask, Brother Wang." ”
"Yes, yes. Wang Lei immediately nodded and said: "Look at me, I have committed a taboo again, Brother Lei doesn't want to say that there must be a reason, but it is really an honor to know a young talent like Brother Lei." ”
Hearing this, Li Ding couldn't help but shake his head. Wang Lei has a straightforward temperament, this is a world that respects the strong, Li Ding naturally knows Wang Lei's thoughts, and the shopkeeper Zhang obviously has the intention of flattering, so he simply doesn't explain it anymore.
At this time, Li Ding noticed that the shopkeeper Zhang was going to wash his face, and he felt that the shopkeeper Zhang was currying favor, and after a few words of greetings again, the three of them freshened up and went downstairs for breakfast.
While eating, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe stepped forward and said to Li Ding: "I've seen Lei Gongzi, our big boss has some things for Lei Gongzi and the two distinguished guests to accept." ”
Li Ding saw that this person was the owner of the inn, and when he saw him hand him a yellow brocade box, he hurriedly reached out and took it, but before he opened it, he smelled a faint fragrance.
"It's an elixir!" Next to him, Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly spoke, and took a bag from the innkeeper's hand.
Li Ding was stunned, knowing that the nose of the alchemist would never be wrong, but he didn't know why Liu Li wanted to give him the pill.
Seeing that Wang Lei also took a bag, Li Ding asked suspiciously, "Did your big boss say anything?"
"The big boss and Jin Ye left early, and before leaving, he said that he must hand over the things to you. Saying that, the innkeeper turned to the shopkeeper Zhang and said: "In addition, Jin Ye told the two distinguished guests to take care of Lei Gongzi on the way, and there is no other explanation." After the boss finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.
These words made Shopkeeper Zhang and Wang Lei stunned, and quickly opened the bag in their hands.
The shopkeeper took out a pair of short chopsticks from the bag, the whole body was black like iron, the color was not good-looking, but it was carved with exquisite patterns. What Wang Lei took out was a jade bottle, and there was no need to guess that it should also contain pills.
When the two of them saw the things in their hands, they were all happy and excited, although Li Ding didn't know what the chopsticks represented and what kind of elixir they were, but seeing the expressions of the two, they also knew that it must be of great use.
Li Ding also slowly opened the box in his hand, only to feel a strong wisp of danxiang overflowing from it, and there was a translucent jade bottle in the middle of the box, which could be seen at a glance to contain several red pills.
"It's ...... Five Grades Hui Yuan Dan!" Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly stretched out his head and said with wide eyes.
Li Ding was also taken aback, but he heard Wang Lei say even more surprised: "It's really fake, it can't really be the Hui Yuan Pill, it's an elixir for Ming Mind Cultivators to restore their vitality, such a bottle...... To say the least, it's worth a million gold coins!"
"At least a million!" Li Ding's heart jumped, and he couldn't understand what Liu Li wanted, but not to mention, this elixir was an indispensable thing for him at the moment, and maybe it would come in handy at some point.
Thinking of this, Li Ding was not polite, and secretly included the elixir in the Fire God Spirit Ring.
After eating, the three of them immediately packed up and went on the road, Li Ding found out that the inn was actually built next to a military camp, it turned out that the so-called post station actually referred to the military camp, and the inn was just for ordinary merchants to stay, and he was only blamed for thinking too much about things last night, and he didn't notice this at all.
The three bends outside the Jade Dragon Pass actually refer to a canyon mountain road between the mountains, and there are just three big bends. Each big bend has a military camp stationed, one is to play the role of a town guard, but also as a post station supporting inn to serve the passing merchants.
Being able to open the inn next to the barracks, Li Ding couldn't help but suspect that Liu Li had some kind of connection with the army for a while. is also glad that he did not go on the road alone, otherwise in this territory full of officers and soldiers, I don't know what accidents will happen.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it. On the next journey, Shopkeeper Zhang and Wang Lei were more enthusiastic about Li Ding than before, and they took care of them all along the way, which made Li Ding feel a little embarrassed.
However, with a shopkeeper all the way, the journey went very smoothly, and just as another day was about to pass, the carriage finally walked out of the mountains.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a majestic city appeared on the plain ahead.
