The inn is an ordinary inn, but it is still a little different from the Guannai, there are very few people who visit relatives and friends in Daning, and those who live in the city will not have nothing to come to the inn, and the guests who can enter the inn are mostly merchants who go to the grassland, often dozens of hundreds of people, cars and horses are in groups, so the inns here are quite large, and the rooms will be much less than the exquisite and elegant inns in the Guannai, and there are more spacious courtyards.

Moreover, in order to separate the wagons of goods from different merchants, so as not to confuse the wagons or lose their belongings, the guest rooms and courtyards were mostly connected and separated by half-height adobe.

Gu Huai and Wei Laosan's residence, naturally it is also such a room, but the courtyard is much smaller, I heard that there are only two people who come to live, and the innkeeper is still a little reluctant, and he always feels that it is too cold to earn this money, but he can't stand Wei Laosan's body is too scary, and the innkeeper feels that if he doesn't open a room, the inn is afraid that there is a risk of being demolished, so he pinched his nose and let the two live.

Although the room is not big, it is also an independent courtyard, three houses with straw yellow blanks, two with sundries, there is a long row of stables next to the courtyard, the smell of horse manure is pungent, the only empty room is also a little dirty, the soil kang is empty and empty, there are only two dirty quilts, the only advantage is that it is large, and it is no problem to turn over on it.

But fortunately, Gu Huai and Wei Laosan are two men, although such an environment is harsh but can still live, Gu Huai may still be a little unaccustomed, as long as Wei Laosan sleeps and snores loudly, a broken earth kang seems to be more comfortable than the bed where the secret spy department sleeps, Gu Huai is even a little worried that the roof of this earthen house will be shaken down by his snoring.

After returning from Ning Wangfu's dinner, I ate in the inn, and there was nothing to eat in the kitchen of the inn, so I only brought a bowl of mutton steamed buns, and Wei Laosan, who sold vegetables and closed the stall, swallowed seven or eight while scolding, and finally snatched Gu Huai's unfinished half of the lamb leg from his stomach, saying that it was a supper.

The time has almost forwarded to October, the weather in the north is much colder, the wind is especially strong at night, the whistle eaves that blow over the roof make a "woo" sound, and the floating soil on the ground is blown up by the wind to fascinate people's eyes, so the few guests have returned to the room and fell asleep early.

On the second watch, this calm was broken, the inn that had been turned off was illuminated by the light of the torches, and a group of officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the inn, in order to prevent the wind and sand, they also put a thick face towel on their faces, and their eyes were murderous.

After asking about the residences of Gu Huai and Wei Laosan, except for the two officers and soldiers who were left to watch the shopkeeper and the accomplices of the inn, and the guests who came out when they heard the sound, the others rushed straight to Gu Huai's residence.

The separate courtyard was always suitable for arresting, and the only exits to the house were blocked, and people were left on the earthen walls, and then the rest broke down the door and rushed in with steel knives.

Just a moment later, a few officers and soldiers with blank faces walked out with torches, and they were clearly ready to cut down anyone they saw, but they didn't see anyone in the three rooms... He even stepped on horse manure full of feet.

Everyone's eyes focused on a tall officer wearing a lieutenant's uniform and carrying a saber, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyebrows and looked grim: "What do you see?" ”

"Boss, are we in the wrong room?"

"No, I inquired in advance, and just now I looked at the shopkeeper's register of guests, absolutely yes, it's this broken house! There's a futon in there! ”

The officer stopped the argument of his subordinates, and his eyes lit up: "Futon? ”

He immediately stepped into the bedroom, and several other soldiers followed, and under the light of the torches, the officer reached into the bed, and after a while, he said coldly: "It's still hot, I must have heard the movement and hidden, I haven't gone far yet, search for me!" ”

……

"My lord, what are they doing here?"

Under the earthen wall not far from the dilapidated house, Wei Laosan carried a broken sheep bone and looked at the murderous soldiers, while looking back blankly at Gu Huai.

"It's from King Ning's Mansion."

"Ning Wangfu?" Wei Laosan was even more puzzled, "I don't think these are good people... Didn't you say that you didn't do anything when you entered King Ning's Mansion? Then why do they look like this? ”

Gu Huai looked away: "I really didn't do anything." ”

"Huh?" Wei Laosan became alert, "Your lord, you tell the truth. ”

"I just found out that Princess Ning cuckolded King Ning, and then I planned to test Princess Ning."

"Shhh Test? What is this called nothing? Does Princess Naning want to kill people? ”

He was very sincere: "My lord, can you tell me before you do this kind of thing next time?" ”

"I know, I know," Gu Huai didn't reply, "I'll call you next time." ”

"That's not what I meant..."

"Silence!" Gu Huai raised his hand, "They found out that we didn't go far. ”

In the distance, those soldiers raised their torches and began to search in several directions, Wei Laosan pulled Gu Huai, the meaning was very clear, he was telling the chief officer to run quickly.

Gu Huai shook his head slightly.

Run? Where to run? These people don't have to think about it, they must have been sent by Princess Ning Shaning, who felt threatened, after all, he had not been in contact with anyone in the official face since he arrived in Daning.

Why is this mother's Princess Ning like a fried cat? I don't even talk about the rules of officialdom, even if I have a handle in my hand, but business can be discussed, right? It's not that you have to die and break the net, why make the scene so ugly?

But that's what Shanin did, and at night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, she sent someone to wipe her neck, which was the same as the previous secret spy department, which showed that either she was the kind of fool who didn't know how to grasp the degree of work, or she accidentally discovered that the importance of this matter was far greater than she imagined.

Could Princess Ning be a fool? Although beautiful women are a bit big-breasted and brainless, she really doesn't look like a little stupid.

That's the identity of that man...

"No need to look for it, I'll wait here for a long time."

The sudden sound frightened several soldiers like rabbits with arrows, jumped to the place where the sound came, raised a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, and saw Gu Huai coming out from behind an earthen wall, gently shaking the half-gnawed leg of mutton in his hand.

A soldier was born to the side of the guts: "Kill him!" ”

The officer was silent for a moment before speaking coldly, "Go away." ”

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers were stunned: "My lord..."

"Idiot, others have been waiting here for a long time, will they be afraid of you killing? Get lost! ”

A few people had the heart to persuade again, but the officer in front of him had a special identity, he was a person from the Naning Palace, and he was in control of the life and death of their Duoyan Sanwei, so they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only slowly retreat.

Gu Huai threw away his bones and clapped his hands gently: "The princess is really ice and snow smart... Under admiration tightly. ”

The officer lifted his hood, and sure enough, it was Sha Ning, the concubine of King Ning, she glanced at Gu Huai coldly, and suddenly smiled, like ice and snow melting:

"Let's talk?"
