Chapter Eighty-Three: The Bait Howling Azure Gibbon
Chiyan Country, Qile City
Lin Xu and Zhuqin hurried non-stop and finally came to Qile City, which was the place where they braved the spirit to enter the kingdom of the court.
When the prosperity was not there, now it seems a little lonely, although a few shops are open, but there are few people who patronize, they walked into an inn, ready to stay here tonight, the shopkeeper was lazy lying on the counter, saw them enter the store first stunned, and then immediately greeted with a smile.
"Are you two staying in the hotel?"
"Well, prepare two upper rooms. Lin Xu looked around, the store was small but clean.
"Two?" The shopkeeper looked at them suspiciously, Zhu Qin was a little embarrassed, and turned his face away.
The shopkeeper was walking in front, and Lin Xu asked casually, "Why is Qile City so deserted." ”
"It's good, we'll all have to leave in ten days. "The inn is basically unoccupied, and the shopkeeper picked two rooms next to each other for them.
"From here to the past, there is the Chaoguo, and we will follow this road to the former defensive city of the Chaoguo, Qingyue City. Lin Xu said and pointed out on the map that although Zhuqin was a princess of the dynasty, she didn't know this, and she was a little ashamed in her heart.
The door opened suddenly, and the shopkeeper walked in with a smile on his face, putting a pot of tea on the table, "Where are you two going?"
Lin Xu deliberately blocked the map and let him out. After the shopkeeper left, Lin Xu checked the tea and found nothing, maybe he was suspicious. After the discussion, the two went back to their houses to rest.
When he was drowsy, Lin Xu heard some noises from the room next to him, and sat up suddenly, could it be that someone entered Zhuqin's room, he quickly got up and pushed open the door a little, and sure enough, there was a person squatting by the door, but it was none other than Zhuqin.
She made a shushing gesture and pointed downstairs, and Lin Xu also came out quietly, and the two listened attentively.
Two men's voices came from downstairs, one of which was the voice of the shopkeeper, "How is it, is there any news?"
"The hostess will be back in a few days. Another voice sounded deep and deep, "Do you have any guests today?"
"Yes. The shopkeeper's answer surprised the man a little, and he paused and asked, "How many people?"
"Two, a man and a woman. ”
"Two?" the man hesitated for a moment, and the shopkeeper asked, "What's wrong." ”
The proprietress said that there might be a group of people going to the country, but it was three men and three women. The man lowered his voice and asked, "Where did they go?"
"I didn't ask, I took the map, and it seemed that I was traveling far away. The shopkeeper added, "They each live in an upper room, and the woman is really beautiful." ”
Zhuqin's appearance will attract attention wherever he goes, and it seems that he will be more low-key in the future.
"Tomorrow I will find a way to hold them back, and I will ask clearly. After saying that, the two chatted a few more words and went back to the house.
After it was pitch black downstairs, Lin Xu retreated to the room, and Zhu Qin also retreated, and the two of them passed the news in words.
'Looks like we're going to have a show tomorrow.' What Zhuqin said was exactly what Lin Su thought.
'This proprietress must be an acquaintance. ’
'Could it be a chuckle?'
Most likely, if so, we might as well wait for her to come, for the matter of the new city has not yet been clarified. ’
Make up your mind and just wait for the dawn. As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Xu got up to prepare, and when he came downstairs, there was an old man standing at the counter, calculating something.
"The guest officer got up really early. "The voice is so deep, I can't imagine it will be an old man.
"Hurry up. Lin Xu didn't say much, took out his money bag and prepared to settle the bill.
The old man's movements were slow, obviously delaying time, and Lin Xu was not in a hurry to urge him, just stood in place and watched.
"You see, when you're old, where has this ledger gone. The old man smiled awkwardly, turned around and shouted inside, "Xiao Er, where did you put the account book yesterday." ”
The shopkeeper ran out panting, and took out a ledger from under the cabinet, "Didn't I tell you, down there." Then he raised his head and asked Lin Xu with a smile: "The guest officer slept well yesterday, let's eat something and leave." ”
Zhu Qin just walked down and glanced at Lin Xu, the two sat in the store, and Xiao Er brought two bowls of hot tea and a few plates of pastries.
It is also unusual for such a place to have pastries, and the two did not question it and ate it.
'Tea and pastries were no problem. Lin Xu sent a message to Zhuqin.
While they were eating, the old man stood at the counter and asked, "Two guest officers, is the food delicious?"
"Not bad. ”
"You're in business?"
"Sort of. Lin Xu gave Zhu Qin a look, she naturally understood, and secretly tested the old man's thoughts.
"It doesn't look like it, what kind of business is it?" the old man asked unhurriedly.
"Spirit animal trafficking. This will not be too obvious and allow the old man to ponder carefully, sure enough, Zhu Qintan heard the old man's thoughts, he had already guessed that the two of them would use force, and I am afraid that they also have some spiritual power.
"That's big business. The old man pretended to say, approaching them step by step, and suddenly a gust of palm wind hit, almost lifting the table, but fortunately, Lin Xu suppressed it.
The old man had already become suspicious of Lin Xu, although the two of them were silent on the surface, but the table kept shaking, it seemed that the two had already competed, and when Zhu Qin picked up the tea bowl and a plate of pastries, the table was suddenly torn apart.
"What a strong spiritual power. Admire, admire, admire. The old man changed his expression just now and praised him.
Lin Xu smiled and said nothing, it seemed that the other party had taken the bait.
"To tell you the truth, I was also an animal trainer, but I injured my leg when I was young, but not long ago I heard that there was a roaring azure gibbon on the edge of Qile City. I don't know if the two of you are interested. "This old man is very cunning, the Howling Sky Green Gibbon is the same as the jade-faced roar, they are both spirit beasts that animal trainers flock to, if Lin Xu is not right, his identity will inevitably be suspected, and if he does, the plan of this trip will be disrupted.
Lin Xu thought for a while, and said with an embarrassed face: "Of course it would be good if you could find the Xiaotian green gibbon, but the younger brother is not good at learning, and I am afraid that I will lose my life if I don't get the spirit beast." ”
Seeing that he politely refused, the old man threw out the temptation again, "I tried the little brother's kung fu just now, it is definitely not ordinary, not to mention that I also have an animal tamer here, if we join forces, we will definitely win a big victory." ”
If it continues to resign, I am afraid that it will seem blunt, and Lin Xu also said excitedly: "If this is the case, it will be counted as a junior brother." ”
The old man smiled contentedly when he saw him fall into the trap, but none of this escaped Zhuqin's eyes.
"Then the little brother will go with me to meet the animal trainer after eating?"
"Okay, let's go together. ”
On the way, Zhu Qin told Lin Xu about the matter in a nian word, there was no animal tamer at all, the old man just wanted to take them to the mansion and trap them inside.
When they arrived at a big house, the old man went to knock on the door, and after saying something, the door opened by itself, and the three of them walked in, and in the huge courtyard, there were flowers and plants, and they were often taken care of, but the three of them did not see the servants along the way.
Walking into the main hall, the old man asked Lin Xu and the others to wait here, and he went to invite the master. Lin Xu and Zhu Qin stood next to the chairs, throwing something on it with both hands.
And the old man went around the back hall to the secret room on the side, and saw that the two were still standing motionless, and he smiled evilly, and turned the mechanism of the dungeon, and the ground suddenly cracked, and the two of them fell, so fast that they did not hear their cries of surprise.
