When they walked out of Mingyue Restaurant, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the weather in the city of Salo turned cool, the night fell, the sky was full of stars, and the light wind blew from the north, through the quiet desert, and then hit the Sharo Lake outside the city, and swept in the city gate that was not closed all night, bringing a touch of coolness and a little dampness, bringing a completely different flavor to this scorching desert.

The long street is brightly lit, there is no curfew in Salo City, every cool night, the city seems to really come alive, there is no heat and impetuousness of the day, only a body of refreshment and the pursuit of nightlife, especially in the West City, countless lights are hung on the bars of wine shops on several long streets, and the brilliance of the stars is suppressed a lot, the pride of men when drinking, the soft voice of women when singing, and the tactful stay when silk and bamboo are playing, mixed into a unique intoxicating long tune of Sharo, so that these camel caravan merchants who have just drunk a cup of thorn wine have a slight smoke。

"Even though I've been here many times, the night in Salo City is still so charming, even in Darong, I can't find a second city like this. ”

Gao Shen covered his forehead lightly, his eyes were misty, as the second-in-command of this camel team, he had been to Shaluo City no less than ten times, and he had indescribable feelings for this place, just now at the wine table, after he drank too much, he was also a little annoyed and scolded the stupidity of the city lord of Shaluo City.

"To involve such a city in the flames of war is a crime at all!"

Standing on the long street, with the soft breeze blowing on his slightly hot face, Su Qi began to gradually understand the meaning of this sentence.

In this world full of struggles, the city of Shaluo is like a pearl that is not stained with dust, and the approach of the city lord and the ten great cultivators behind him is like a carver who carves it with a clumsy technique, once the pen is put down, the beauty of the past is gone forever.

"The next time I come, I don't know what it's like here. Song Zhi held his head with both hands, this guy's alcohol was surprisingly good, and the thorn wine was strong, but after a cup of stomach, his face did not turn red at all, if it wasn't for the faint smell of alcohol on his body, he couldn't tell that he had drunk at all.

Nangong Mo stood beside Su Qi, with a distance of about an arm's length, Chen Chuchu had a very poor amount of alcohol, and was hugging Nangong Mo at this time, half-paralyzed on her body, Nangong Mo quietly looked at the lights that were flickering in the distance, and her tone was abrupt, "The world is up and down, and it is empty in the blink of an eye, and the next time I come, I may already be a person." ”

"At least, I won't be there. ”

Chu Dong stroked his beard lightly, glanced at the street, his eyes shrank slightly, and lowered his voice, but there was still a sense of oppression that was difficult to refuse, which was the bearing that the main person had cultivated after decades, "It's late at night, the situation in Shaluo City is unstable now, it's not appropriate to stay outside for more, let's go back to the inn." ”

Chu Dong's words were orders, and the group immediately quickened their pace and walked towards the inn at the end of the street.

Su Qi followed last, and before turning around, he quickly glanced at the street.

Suddenly my heart was slightly shocked.

A few soldiers in armor walked quickly through the street, judging from the style, it should be the city guard of Sharo City, although the city has always pursued neutrality, but there is still a group of more than 1,000 city guards, who are only responsible for maintaining order in the city on weekdays, patrolling every day, and occasionally dealing with some disputes.

But at this time, these people were in a hurry, fully armed, as if they were in a hurry to do something, and at a glance they knew that something big had happened somewhere in the city.

No wonder Chu Dong was in a hurry to get back to the inn, it was obvious that he didn't want to get into any trouble.

Although Su Qi was extremely curious about what was happening, he couldn't leave the team without permission, and could only temporarily suppress his desire to explore.

For convenience, when entering the city, the inn is chosen at the end of the same street as Mingyue Restaurant, which happens to be next to the north city, the distance to the merchant square is very close, and you can also walk directly through the two streets when leaving the city, pass through the west city gate, and then go south.

The inn is called Homecoming, it is opened after the return of the Sharo people who are wandering outside, the price is not too expensive, but it is far better than the ordinary inn conditions, when the camel team runs the business, this kind of accommodation, The cost of eating and drinking is borne by the camel caravan, a lot of things, naturally can be saved, as in the past, the camel team generally lives in the inn in the north city, where the price is cheap, there are both large shops, there are small single rooms, it is very suitable for camel merchants to stay, and this time I chose the homecoming inn that is not cheap, in addition to because it is the last time, Chu Dong decided to treat everyone generously, perhaps the name of this inn also has a big reason.

Although Chu Dong's ancestors were from the Northern Jin Dynasty, he himself grew up in the Darong Empire, and it was difficult for camel merchants to sleep in the open air, in fact, it was difficult to have a particularly strong sense of belonging to a certain place, but people were old and nostalgic, and Chu Dong, who planned to retreat behind the scenes, naturally remembered the past of living in Darong when he was a child, so he decided to live in a small city in Darong after going back this time, and he also had a nostalgia for this desert for life, so when he saw the signboard of the word "homecoming", he decisively decided to live here.

This made the group very happy, after eating the wind and sand in the desert for many days, it is a rare blessing to be able to live in this kind of inn of high grade, although it is a room for two people, but compared to the previous conditions, it is still a day and a place.

Xiao Er, who had returned to his hometown, had been waiting at the door of the store, and when he saw a few people returning from a distance, he quickly stepped forward, and he smelled the smell of wine on everyone's body, so he cleverly asked if he needed hot water and sobering tea.

It's still early.

Except for Chu Dong, who was old and decided to go upstairs to rest, the rest of the strong men decided to drink tea on the first floor of the inn, play a few rounds of Shaluo City's unique sand cards, Gao Shen took Song Zhi and went to the courtyard behind the inn to check the goods and camels, which is a habit that a camel merchant must have.

And Chen Chuchu was already drunk, muttering something vaguely in his mouth, his face was red, Nangong Mo had no choice but to support her, and carefully went upstairs to the room, Su Qi looked at the backs of the two, touched the necklace in his arms, hesitated for a long time, and decided to find another opportunity to give this gift tomorrow.

After all, giving gifts is also about picking the atmosphere, how can anyone give jewelry to the person they like when there is a drunk next to them?

Zhao Ming and the Yuan brothers were already noisily sitting around drinking tea and playing cards, this kind of sand card was played in groups of three, and six people happened to form two groups, but Gao Shen and Song Zhi went to check the goods first, and Su Qi had to wait for them to come back and play.

There were not many people in the inn, Su Qi calculated the time, and it would take at least half a pillar of incense to check the goods, he simply pulled a bench and sat behind Zhao Ming, intending to steal the way to play this sand card, so as not to show his stuffing for a while, but as soon as he sat down, a cold and indifferent voice came from his ears.

"Go up to the second floor, the third room on the left. ”
