Chapter 294: Lure the snake out of the hole
Li Mumu took the two female soldiers lent to her by Li Zhiyin, Su Mei and Su Lan, and Li Mingyu, and the four of them set off from the capital together.
Li Mumu couldn't ride a horse, so he rode in a carriage with Su Mei and Su Lan, and Li Mingyu drove outside.
The four of them left the capital, and the journey was smooth and safe.
There were no thieves or thieves.
As a result, when we were about to reach Chong'an, it was already dark.
You have to pass through two more towns before you can enter Chong'an City.
Traveling overnight was inevitably dangerous, so Li Mingyu proposed to rest for the night in the town in front of him.
"In half an hour we will be in the town ahead." Li Mingyu said to Li Mumu in the carriage while driving the car.
"Okay." Li Mumu nodded.
She was in a hurry to find Gu Shangqing, but she didn't want to make trouble either.
I entered the town and found an inn that was not big or small.
It's not the most luxurious in town, but it's not humble either, it's a decent, low-key kind.
After getting out of the carriage, Su Mei whispered something in Li Mumu's ear.
The four of them entered the inn.
"The shopkeeper wants three rooms." Li Mu said.
The shopkeeper took out three keys and handed them to the three men.
The rooms of the three were next to each other.
Su Mei and Su Lan have a room, next to Li Mumu's room.
Li Mingyu's room was opposite Li Mumu.
Originally, Su Mei and Su Lan wanted to share a room with Li Mumu.
But for some reason, Li Mumu asked for three rooms.
The room was on the second floor, and after going upstairs, Su Lan asked Li Mumu in a low voice, "Mrs. Gu, why don't you want the two of me to be in the same room with you?" It's a little safer that way. ”
Li Mumu shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's safer, but it also makes people even more afraid to act." ”
It turned out that on the road just now, Li Mingyu and Su Mei Sulan both noticed that someone was following them.
Therefore, Li Mingyu felt that it would be dangerous if he continued to hurry.
But when they were driving, if they said it, they would be heard by the people who followed them, and they would be alarmed.
That's why Li Mingyu didn't say it, only said that it was dangerous to walk at night.
Li Mingyu was the first to find out, and after a while, Sumei Sulan also discovered it.
The two of them looked at each other, and they also waited quietly to see when the other party planned to make a move.
But until he entered the town, he did not wait for the other party's action.
When she just got off the carriage, Su Mei whispered in Li Mumu's ear that this was this.
She thought that Li Mumu knew that there was danger and would definitely share a room with the two sisters.
Who knew that Li Mumu actually wanted a room by himself.
In the extra room, Su Mei Sulan naturally didn't think that Li Mumu was going to live with one of them.
Now listening to Li Mumu's words, Sumei Sulan knows that Li Mumu is trying to lure the snake out of the hole.
So Su Mei Sulan nodded, and Su Mei said: "Then we won't sleep tonight and take turns on duty." ”
Li Mingyu nodded, "I'll pay attention." ”
In fact, Li Mumu didn't understand very well, why didn't the other party do it in the suburbs, and waited for them to enter the town, wouldn't it be even more difficult to do it?
However, Li Mumu thought of it after that, maybe the other party wanted to stun her directly in the room?
In this way, there is no need to alarm Li Mingyu and Sumei Sulan, so they don't have to do it.
The costume martial arts dramas she watched when she was a child have many plots like this.
Although I don't know if it is common to put it in Daxi, Li Mumu decided to be careful.
Therefore, after entering the room, Li Mumu first opened the window a little, and then opened the door a crack.
This not only allows Li Mingyu and Sumei Sulan to hear her voice more clearly, but also plays a role in ventilation.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyu and Su Mei Sulan actually went with her.
Li Mingyu also opened the door a little, and when he opened the door, he happened to meet Li Mumu.
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Li Mumu to think of this as well.
Li Mumu couldn't hold back his laughter, and nodded at Li Mingyu again.
Li Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Gu was a smart person, and his trip would be much easier.
At this time, the door of Sumei Sulan's room next to him also sounded.
Li Mumu and Li Mingyu turned their heads to look over at the same time, and saw that Sumei Sulan's door was also a little open.
The eyes of the four converged and they laughed at the same time.
Seeing that they were all so alert, Li Mumu was also relieved.
She cleaned up, knowing that someone was following, and it was very likely to be unfavorable to her, so Li Mumu naturally didn't dare to fall asleep.
Li Mumu first asked the innkeeper for a basin of water, and used the excuse to wash.
When I got back to the house, I found a cloth and put it in a basin to soak in water.
She didn't even wring it out, for she didn't know when the man would come.
In order to prevent people from coming after a long time, or even starting it late at night, the wet cloth became dry, so Li Mumu did not wring it out, kept the cloth wet and dripping, and put the cloth aside.
Then he turned off the lights, lay down on the bed with his clothes closed, and pretended to sleep.
But she kept her eyes open, tense her nerves and not letting go of the slightest sound.
Li Mumu didn't know how long he had been waiting, and his spirit had been highly concentrated.
Even though I was very tired from the continuous journey, I still couldn't sleep, and this feeling was very painful.
Finally, she heard a faint sound coming from the window.
It sounded like a gentle puncture of window paper.
If it weren't for the fact that the town was close to the border pass, it would not be prosperous, and the people would all rest at home until dark, and very few people would come out for recreation.
And there's really not much to do in the town.
And Li Mumu deliberately chose an inn that was not on the main road of the town, and the surroundings were even quieter.
Coupled with the fact that her mind was highly concentrated, she didn't let go of a little sound, and then she noticed this extremely low sound.
Otherwise, the sound of piercing the window paper is too soft, and it is really not easy to hear if it is not for a high degree of mental concentration.
Li Mumu hurriedly brought the wet cloth next to him.
The cloth is still wet, and although it is not as much as it was just after soaking in water at the beginning, if you twist it hard, you can still wring out a little water.
Li Mumu covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, lest the other party really blow a cigarette in and be sucked into his mouth and nose.
Because he covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, Li Mumu didn't smell anything unusual.
But after a while, I heard the sound of coming in through the window.
Li Mumu didn't risk his own safety, and immediately shouted: "Mingyu! Sumy Suran! ”
Even when the other party heard her voice and retreated, Li Mingyu and Sumei Sulan couldn't catch up with him.
Li Mingyu and Su Mei Sulan also reacted quickly, and the three of them were obviously paying full attention to the voice on her side.
As soon as the sound of the other party flipping through the window sounded, the three rushed in.
When Li Mumu spoke up, Li Mingyu had already rushed in.
Sumy Suran waited under the window to prevent the other party from escaping.
The other party was dressed in black and covered his face with a black scarf.
