Zhang Lu tied the horse to the horse stake at the entrance of the inn, and then entered the inn. This street is the most lively street market in Dongchang Province, and the waterways in Dongchang Province are convenient and developed, if it is in the past, this inn has already been overcrowded.

But now, Zhang Lu came in and didn't see more than one customer, not even the store. Zhang Lu first found a place to sit down and shouted, "Is there anyone?

After a while, a woman walked in from behind, and she saw that Zhang Lu was carrying a sword on her back, and her steps were somewhat hesitant.

A war made people so panicked, Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh. He got up, arched his hand at the woman, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just an ordinary guest, and you're the boss here?"

It was evident that the woman was still a little frightened, but she nodded timidly.

Zhang Zhen was also refreshed, and directly slapped five taels of silver on the table, and then said, "I'll stay in the hotel, give me a clean room, and then get some food."

Instead of taking the money, the woman said awkwardly, "It's okay to stay in a hotel, but it's okay to eat...... Don't dare to deceive the guest officer, now that the Yan army is going south, I don't know when it will hit Dongchang, and the chef in this store has already resigned.

Zhang Lu shook his head helplessly, who would have thought that the huge Dongchang Mansion would now even find a place to eat become a luxury.

It was a special time, and Zhang Lu had nothing to pick, so he could only say to the woman, "Just prepare something for me to eat."

The woman said, "There are only some steamed cakes in the shop, and if the guest wants them, I will go and give them hot for you." Now that filling his stomach is the right thing, Zhang Yan can only nod and say, "Then it will trouble the store."

The woman went up and took the money, and then she bowed, and went into the back kitchen. But it didn't take long for black smoke to come out of the direction of the back kitchen, and Zhang Lu thought it was on fire, so he hurriedly ran to the direction of the back kitchen.

As soon as Zhang Lu arrived at the door of the back kitchen, he pretended to be full of arms with the woman who had escaped, and the woman screamed and fell directly to the ground.

Looking at the woman's original white face, it was also blackened. Zhang Lu didn't care if the woman was injured, but hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?

The woman was not hit hard, but at the moment she was also frightened to the point that her hands and feet were weak, she tried a few times, but could not stand up, she said, "I don't know ......" Zhang Lu had no choice, directly hid his face and went into the kitchen, now the kitchen is full of black smoke, but fortunately it is not on fire, he searched inside a few times to find the stove, and found that the stove's air duct was tightly closed, and the chimney air duct partition was not opened.

If the air duct is not opened, the air inside the stove is not enough, and the firewood is not burned repeatedly, black smoke will be formed, and the chimney baffle is not opened, and these black smoke cannot be discharged, which spreads to the entire kitchen.

Zhang Lu hurriedly opened the air duct and chimney, the air in the furnace began to circulate, and the black smoke gradually dispersed.

He wiped his face and walked out of the kitchen, and said helplessly to the woman, "You really can't do any work like this.

This criticism is absolutely right, Zhang Lu would do what a corrupted noble son would do, and this woman would not do it.

When Zhang Lu said this, the woman bit her lip with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved. Zhang Lu was also helpless, so he sat directly opposite the woman, and said, "I said, eldest sister, why are you still wronged?

You said that you are an innkeeper, you can't do any work, and you can choke people to death if you make a fire, eldest sister, I just want to ask when the steamed cakes will be good?

I'm really hungry." The woman looked at Zhang Lu like this, but finally didn't hold back, and cried directly with a "wow".

Zhang Zhen is panicked now, and after two lives combined, he has no experience in coaxing women. He hurriedly waved his hand and said to the woman, "I said eldest sister, don't cry, I still feel wronged.

The woman wept even louder, and as she wept, she said, "Where am I going to do all this work? I was originally born in a big family, and after I got married, I opened this inn with my husband, and there are running halls, cooks, and bookkeepers in the store, where can I do it?

It's a pity that my husband died early, and he caught up with the Yan army to go south, and the people in the store ran away, and I couldn't help it!

It can be clearly felt that this woman really can't work, and she doesn't know how to spend these days, anyway, she is extremely aggrieved in her heart, as if she wants to vent all these grievances.

Zhang Lu scratched his ears and cheeks from the side, "Eldest sister, I beg you, don't cry." He repeated these two sentences, how could he persuade people to stop crying?

At this moment, I heard someone behind me shouting, "You thief! Hugh wants to hurt the embroidery girl, I'll fight with you!

Zhang Lu turned around and saw a man with a burden on his back, holding a wooden stick towards him.

Zhang Zhen only slightly turned his body, and the man's stick fell into the air. The man didn't expect that his stick would be missed, and the soles of his feet were unstable, so he fell directly to the ground.

However, it seemed that he was extremely worried about the woman, and he didn't care about the pain on his body, so he got up directly and protected the woman behind him, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiuniang, with me Lu Sanlang here, no one can hurt you!"

Seeing this man named Lu Sanlang, the woman stopped crying, she wanted to explain, but she choked so badly that her mouth opened several times, and she couldn't say a word.

Just now, this woman clearly said that her husband was dead, but why did a man appear in the blink of an eye? At this time, Zhang Zhen was interested, he had some bad taste, so he directly pulled out the Xuanyang Sword on his back, put on a fierce appearance, and asked Lu Sanlang, "Who are you?"

You came here to meddle with Lao Tzu's business?" Looking at the bright Xuanyang Sword, Lu Saburo swallowed his saliva, and he was a little more afraid, but he still protected the woman behind him.

Seeing that Lu Sanlang didn't reply, Zhang Zhen asked again, "Lao Tzu asked you!" Who are you?

Lu Sanlang still didn't reply, he just turned around and looked at the woman, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, embroidery, I'm here to pick you up."

The embroidery girl finally stopped choking, and there was a touch of affection in her eyes, her lips opened lightly, and she asked softly, "San Lang is here to pick me up?"

In this chaos, you actually came from Huaiqing Mansion to pick me up?" Lu Sanlang nodded very solemnly and said, "Xiuniang, I haven't married all these years, because my heart has long been occupied by you, this is a kind of torture for me, even if I know that your husband is dead, I didn't come first, I'm afraid that my appearance will disturb your life, but now that the Yan army is going south, Dongchang is too dangerous, how can I put you in danger?"

So I'm here to pick you up, I've missed you once, and I won't miss it again." Night rivers and lakes. (After reading it, remember to bookmark it for next time!)
