The name of the town here is Chonglou, and it is less than 30 miles away from Luoyang.

Therefore, most of the businessmen and pedestrians who come from the south to the north and want to go to Luoyang are willing to stop here, without him, it is not only cheap, but also gathers all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams.

Shen Guo and Dugu Nanqiao left the caravan to act alone, and Shen Guo told the Feng family's chief steward in advance, and told him that if they didn't come back early tomorrow morning, there would be no need to wait for them.

The night gradually came up, and the small array of lights was full of people.

Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao led the horses and walked among them, no different from others, they were like people coming and going, nothing special.

The main road is lined with inns and restaurants, and at night there are some small merchants and vendors, who always seem to sell everything.

Rao is Shen Qian, who has traveled through many places, was also a little surprised to see such a scene, Luoyang gave Shen a feeling that was quite different from Jinling, the capital of Southern Liang, and could even be said to be diametrically opposed.

"It's the first time I've come back to Luoyang, and the land of Gyeonggi is really different." Shen Jing led the horse and walked on the side.

Dugu Nanqiao walked side by side with Shen Jing, and when she heard this, she also followed: "I haven't been here in Luoyang for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be here??????????????? Gathered into a small town. ”

"Wasn't it here before?" Shen asked subconsciously.

"It used to be a small village, but it was a relatively large one. It was probably because people from the south and north stopped here that it changed over time. ”

The development of Chonglou Town was also related to the system implemented by the Great Wei Dynasty, because before that, the imperial court had ordered that no large towns should gather within 50 miles of Gyeonggi.

The origin of this system is related to a long-ago secret, and many people know about it today.

Walking among them, the conversations of the guests in the restaurants on both sides of the road can often be heard.

In fact, the two of them had already planned to leave the caravan and act alone, and as for the explanation to the Feng family steward, it was just a cover-up move.

The two walked through the crowd all the way, and after walking through the long alley, they found an inn where they stayed.

Because it was already night, there were many people who chose to settle here, and Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao also followed the crowd in.

Although the inn is not too luxurious, there are still quite a few rooms to choose from.

Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao waited for a while, and then it was their turn, and the middle-aged shopkeeper on the counter knew that there should be no silver when he saw that it was a group of young men and women and dressed plainly.

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at the two of them with a slightly impatient tone and said, "There are not many cheap guest rooms, five taels of silver a night, how many do you want?" ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper subconsciously attributed the two to the kind of people who didn't have much money, so he reacted like this.

Shen Guo felt a little ridiculous when he heard this, it was the first time he encountered this kind of thing when he walked the rivers and lakes.

Shen Guo didn't want to have anything to do with the shopkeeper, because they had seen all kinds of people, so they could divide people into three, six, nine and so on at a glance.

However, Dugu Nanqiao on the side couldn't stand this anger, she took out a gold ingot from her arms and put it on the table with anger.

The sound of gold falling on the table suddenly woke up the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Our best room, a... Two rooms. Dugu Nanqiao said.

And when the snobbish shopkeeper knew that Shen Guo and the two of them were going to live in the best room, he immediately changed to a smiling face, and even his tone was a lot kinder.

"It turned out to be two distinguished guests, and they didn't know Mount Tai with their eyes. There are also first-class rooms, so I'll take you two to have a look. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged shopkeeper called a guy to continue to handle the accommodation for other guests, while he lowered his body to meet Shen Jing and the two.

Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, Dugu Nanqiao felt more and more disgusted, but the shopkeeper himself would not feel so.

Shen Jing has seen a lot of people, so he doesn't feel strange about the shopkeeper's reaction, there are too many such people.

The middle-aged shopkeeper walked in front of him, and turned back to Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao from time to time and said, "Two distinguished guests, come with me, there are still a lot of first-class rooms in the small shop." However, in addition to the superior rooms, there is also a separate elegant courtyard in the store, which is ...... for guests."

The shopkeeper's meaning couldn't be more obvious, so before he could finish speaking, Dugu Nanqiao said impatiently: "What are you doing with so much nonsense, do you think we have no money?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, although he was scolded, he was not angry at all, but smiled, "Okay, I'll take the two of you over now." ”

There are only two inns in this kind of small courtyard, and there are few guests because of their high prices.

But this is the palm ??????????????? In order to highlight the difference between their own house and other people's homes, the small courtyard is always empty even if no one lives, and someone will clean it every day.

The shopkeeper smiled all the way and introduced Shen Guo to the two, Dugu Nanqiao didn't pay attention to half a sentence, and Shen Guo occasionally answered two sentences.

The two small courtyards were next to each other, and when they passed by the one in front, Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao even saw two guards standing guard outside the door.

Although the two guards were dressed in ordinary clothes and there was nothing special about them, Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao, who were keenly aware, still saw that they were not ordinary at a glance after seeing these two people.

Especially Shen Guo, seeing the appearance of those two people, it is clear that they are not the guards that ordinary people can have, and Dugu Nanqiao, who was born in the General's Mansion, even felt a sense of familiarity when he saw these two people.

Of course, Shen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao just walked by, and no one had any extra looks.

The shopkeeper seemed to be a little afraid when he passed by the door, and he didn't say anything more, and he led the two into the small courtyard before the shopkeeper spoke: "Two distinguished guests, there is another distinguished guest living next to them, and their identity is not ordinary. That guest's men are fierce, so don't you two get into a conflict with them. ”

Shen Guo said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, the two of us won't have any more trouble if we just stay for one night, and we don't have that ability." ”

The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this, he not only felt that Shen was good to talk to, but also felt that there would be no unnecessary losses.

After leading the two to the small courtyard, the shopkeeper quickly withdrew.

And after the shopkeeper left, Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao both frowned in unison, and the two of them obviously noticed something unusual.

After entering the room, Shen Jing simply made a trick and then spoke: "Are the two people outside the door from the palace?" ”

Dugu Nanqiao heard this: "Even if you are not a person in the palace, you must be the guard of the imperial court's family, and there should be no ordinary people next to you." ”

After Dugu Nanqiao finished speaking, Shen Jing followed: "My guess is similar to yours." Because when I passed by the door just now, I happened to notice an extremely unusual aura inside, it should be a master of the Grandmaster Realm, and his cultivation is not low. In order not to cause unnecessary accidents, we did not dare to investigate too closely. ”

Shen Kuang didn't expect to meet such a master in an inconspicuous inn, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

】

Lin Wanzhao said: "We just sleep peacefully, we don't have to worry about other inconsequential things." If we don't take the initiative to provoke them, the other party will not be troublesome. ”

Shen Guan nodded when he heard this, even if the other party did it at will, and the senior of the General's Mansion, there would be no problems.

The environment of the two elegant courtyards of the inn is really good, and there is a girl living on the other side, who is not very old.

There was only the girl's house and a maid in the room, but there were several people in the small courtyard outside the room, an old man and a few young people.

The old man had been meditating on the ground in the courtyard, but he opened his eyes when Shen Jing and the two passed by the door.

The old man frowned unconsciously, for at some point he seemed to feel the breath of another fellow practitioner, and that breath was so short that he was not sure.

Soon after, the old man instructed a young man beside him to go to the front hall and ask who lived next to him, while he himself turned and went in the direction of the room.

When he arrived at the door, the old man knocked lightly.

A knock was heard at the door, and a response was quickly heard from inside the door, "Come in." ”

??????????????? The old man pushed the door open, and above the round table in the center of the room, a richly dressed woman was sitting carefully. The maid beside him handed him some tools from time to time, and the maid answered the voice.

After seeing that it was the old man, the woman who had been concentrating on the female red stopped the detailed work in her hand, he looked at the old man and said softly: "Old Zhuang, but what's the matter?" ”

The old man named Zhuang Bei replied when he heard this: "Because I just noticed a trace of abnormality, I came to see if there was anything wrong with you." ”

The girl smiled when she heard this: "Let Zhuang Lao bother, Hua Rong and I have been in the room all the time, and nothing has happened." ”

Zhuang Beidao: "It's good if you're fine." There are also guests living in the courtyard next to us, so if Your Highness hears any changes in the future, you must immediately inform the old man. ”

The girl smiled: "Don't worry, Zhuang Lao, we will definitely inform you as soon as there is anything." ”

After that, Zhuang Bei didn't bother much anymore and slowly retreated.

And not long after he left, the people who went to the front hall to inquire about the guests of the small courtyard next to him also returned.

After seeing Zhuang Bei, the young man immediately said: "Zhuang Lao, the shopkeeper said that there is a young couple living next to him, and they are all in their twenty-four or five. ”

Zhuang Bei frowned unconsciously when he heard this, could it be that he was wrong to feel the truth?

Although the news was only a pair of young people, for the sake of safety, he still ordered everyone to cheer up and be fine, as long as they returned to the capital tomorrow.

Zhuang Bei released his consciousness to probe the two people in the courtyard next to him, and when Zhuang Bei released his divine sense, Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao felt it for the first time.

The two of them immediately took a breath and tried not to let Zhuang Bei notice anything.

And after such an investigation, Zhuang Bei did not find anything unusual from Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao.

However, Zhuang Bei did not slack off because of this, he had seen too many accidents, not to mention that the identity of the girl in the room was not ordinary.

And after this incident, it also made Shen Jing and Dugu Nanqiao more and more vigilant.

Allowing a strong man to be treated like this only shows that the person they want to protect has a very high status, and there is no room for accidents.
