Chapter Ninety-Two: Foothold
"Brother Night, are we going to stay in a hotel?"
Lone Star nodded and said, "We have been on the road for several days in a row, sleeping in the open air, and today is this hour, so we should stop and prepare dry food, rest here for one night, recuperate our spirits, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow." ”
"Well, that's fine, Rou'er is really tired, it's time to rest. ”
Chu Rou'er pursed her lips and said playfully, "You must have a good night's sleep tonight." ”
"Huh. ”
Lone Star chuckled when he saw this, and the two of them stepped into the store at the same time, as for the horse, he had released it as early as when Lone Star entered the city, and at this time the two of them only had a few packages on them, and it was easy to walk all the way.
"Yo, guest officer, please come in. ”
At this time, Xiao Er in the store came over and cordially beckoned the two to sit down in front of an empty table, Xiao Er hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the two and asked, "Two guest officers, see what you need to order?"
Thinking that he and this girl hadn't had a full meal for a few days, Lone Star couldn't help but chuckle and said to Xiao Er: "Hmm, bring me all the signature dishes in your store, and then give us a few bowls of dry rice, and then come to a pot of sake casually, that's all, let's go." ”
"Do you want to serve all the signature dishes?"
Hearing this, Xiao Er glanced at the two of them up and down, and suddenly felt a little unsure.
Seeing this, Lone Star couldn't help but turn his mind slightly, and when he knew what he was afraid of, he immediately took out a silver ingot from his bosom and put it on the table, and said in an accentuated tone: "You heard it right, it's all." ”
Seeing the silver, Xiao Er suddenly didn't dare to slack off, and with a sneer, he ordered the kitchen to prepare, and after a while, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
After a few days of running, Lone Star was already hungry, and when he saw the hot meal at this moment, he suddenly devoured it regardless of his image, only to find that Chu Rouer had always just pursed her lips and looked at him with a light smile, and she had not moved her chopsticks.
"Uh, Rou'er, why don't you eat it?"
Lone Star asked with difficulty as he swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.
Chu Rou'er suddenly laughed: "Rou'er is not hungry, Rou'er likes to watch Big Brother Ye eat." ”
"If you are not hungry, how can anyone go all the time without eating. ”
Lone Star thought she was in a hurry, so she scolded on the spot, and then pulled her bowl over, handed it to her with a full of vegetables, and said softly: "Eat it quickly, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”
"Cut, bad people. ”
At this time, Xiao Yue sneered in his heart.
But Chu Rou'er shrugged her nose, and then tears dripped unconsciously.
"Hey, why are you crying?"
Seeing that she was crying for no reason, Lone Star panicked, hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and gently wiped away her tears with his cuffs.
"Well, was my tone too heavy just now?"
Lone Star thought about it for this only reason, and immediately apologized to Chu Rou'er: "Rou'er, it's Big Brother Ye's fault, Big Brother Night shouldn't yell at you, Big Brother Night can't make amends to you, don't cry, okay?"
Chu Rou'er shook her head at the moment, and it took a long time to stop her tears, and she sobbed: "Rou'er didn't mean to blame Brother Ye, it was Brother Night who was too good to Rou'er, and Rou'er was very moved." ”
"Silly girl, what's so touching about this?"
Knowing that she didn't cry because she was wronged, Lone Star suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm older than you, I should take good care of you, or I can't stand your big brother, don't cry, hurry up and eat." ”
Chu Rou'er nodded obediently, then picked up the chopsticks and ate them in small bites, after all, she was a girl, and she was born in a large family, and the etiquette and habits she received since she was a child made her eat very elegant and decent, and on the other hand, Lone Star, sat or didn't sit, ate or didn't eat, chewed things like a whirlwind, for fear of being robbed, after a meal, the rice residue was splashed all over her face, it was simply a starving ghost reincarnated, and she couldn't see a trace of chivalrous demeanor at all.
"Flutter~"
Seeing this, Chu Rou'er couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled: "Brother Night, you eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and gently helped him wipe the rice off his face, and then held his cheeks and looked at him quietly, looking distracted.
After three rounds of food and five flavors of wine, Lone Star finally stood up with a full burp, and when he met the playful gaze of Chu Rou'er on the other side, he suddenly shouted to the counter in embarrassment: "Little Er, settle the bill!"
Before the words fell, the shopkeeper trotted all the way over and asked, "Has the guest officer used it yet?"
"Hmm. ”
Lone Star nodded, casually threw the silver on the table to Xiao Er, and said, "In addition to the money for this meal, we are going to stay here for one night tonight, I wonder if there are any extra rooms in the store?"
"Yes, yes. ”
Xiao Er nodded hurriedly and said, "Dare to ask how many you want?"
"One!"
At this time, Chu Rou'er hurriedly replied, "It's enough to help us prepare an upper room." ”
Immediately, he glanced at Lone Star shyly and said softly, "I'm scared to sleep alone." ”
"Well, let's get one for us. ”
Lone Star shook his head helplessly, and ordered: "Go ahead, try to find a more spacious room, if the silver taels are not enough, you can tell me again." ”
"Enough, enough. ”
Xiao Er glanced at the two of them ambiguously, then stopped staying, turned around and walked away.
Suddenly, only him and Chu Rou'er were left staring at each other, seemingly idle.
At this moment, Lone Star suddenly felt a few unkind glances as if he was secretly looking at him.
"Strange, delusional?"
Lone Star cautiously stood up and looked around, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Night?"
Seeing this, Chu Rou'er asked with concern.
Lone Star shook his head and smiled, "It's okay. ”
At the same time, in the other direction.
"My lord, there is a clue, according to the report of the spies, His Highness Rou has now arrived in the Heavenly Desolate City. ”
In an unknown deep mansion in Luo'an City, a man dressed as a Confucian was bowing his waist and respectfully said to the middle-aged man sitting in front of him.
"So, they failed?"
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea lightly, and said without sadness or joy: "Is it Wang Dao or that Duan Xiaoqi who is with her?"
"Neither. ”
The Confucian man shook his head and said incomprehensibly: "There is only one young man who has never seen him before, and judging from the information sent back by the spies, His Highness Rou seems to be very dependent on this person. ”
"Oh, is there only one person?"
The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Have you found Nuharsen's body, and have you found out what the cause of death is?"
"The subordinates have sent people to inquire in many ways, but only the bodies of three people have been recovered, as for the other three, they have not been accounted for for a long time, and among the three people who have been found, one of them is full of scars, and he should have died in the scuffle, and the other person's wounds are on his hands and chest, and he was killed by a knife through the chest, and the last person was killed by a knife, but from the perspective of technique, it is more like suicide. ”
After a pause, the Confucian man looked at the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice
