After leaving this place, they did not waste any time on the road.

There were occasionally a few inns along the way, and they hurried to the outskirts of the capital soon.

Li Shouzhong looked into the distance and said happily, "I'm on the outskirts of the capital, why don't we find an inn to rest in before entering the city?" ”

Ding Ling nodded when he saw this, "It's okay, you can also inquire about some of the situation in the capital, let's find out." ”

It's just that they have been looking around for a long time, and there is only one inn within a radius of a few miles.

"That's it, there's no other home."

Ding Ling looked around and just walked into the inn, but found that it was very lively inside.

"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, is it food or housing? I've got a great room for you! ”

The shopkeeper greeted them very warmly.

They found a corner and sat down, where they could also hear very well about the capital.

"Bring me two first-class rooms, and then I'll have one of the best dishes in the store."

Li Shouzhong spoke out about their needs.

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he began to get busy.

"I heard that the eldest lady of someone's family in the capital seems to marry the son of the Chu family, but she doesn't seem to be willing yet."

"Who said it wasn't, I heard that he has someone he likes."

"It seems that there will be some activities in the capital in a few days, I don't know how."

Li Shouzhong: While eating, they listened to the guests discuss gossip.

"Anyway, the imperial examination will be held in two days, who do you say will win the championship?"

One of the guests discussed it here.

"Needless to say, of course he is the first literati in the capital, he is very knowledgeable, and he will definitely be able to be the top student in high school."

"I heard that there is a person from outside the countryside this time, and he also took the exam, does he have to be compared with our talents?"

When Ding Ling heard this, he couldn't get angry.

I want to come forward and talk to him.

However, they must keep a low profile, otherwise they will get angry.

"Why is there only this inn in a few miles around the outskirts? I always feel unsure in my heart. ”

Zhou Wenshan whispered his thoughts to Ding Ling.

"There's something not quite right, but I can't say it, it feels weird anyway."

Ding Ling passed Zhou Wenshan's reminder.

I also felt something different in the air.

"Be careful, you have to be careful."

Zhou Wenshan said with concern.

"Good!"

Ding Ling replied with a smile.

The other side.

Several of Li Shouzhong's subordinates have never left.

They took the events of the previous assassins lightly.

So much so that they put their adults in danger.

If it weren't for Ding Ling.

I'm afraid that the adult in front of them now may be a corpse.

They looked at everyone with great vigilance.

"Boss Ding, this is a famous dish in our capital, we need to eat it while it's hot, you might as well try it."

Li Shouzhong introduced these dishes to Ding Ling one by one.

Ding Ling knew that these dishes were very expensive when he heard them.

I can't afford to eat it in general.

"Master Li is too polite, then I might as well be respectful."

Ding Ling tasted it after some polite words.

"When I arrive in the capital, I must enter the friendship of the landlords, you are welcome, just eat."

Li Shouzhong said.

"Well, it tastes really good, Wenshan, you can eat it too."

Ding Ling commented after eating.

Then he looked around.

There are too many people here to speak.

"It's not convenient to talk about matters here, let's go back to the room to discuss the next matters after eating."

Ding Ling reminded in a low voice.

He gestured around with his eyes.

Li Shouzhong and Zhou Wenshan understood her hint.

They all hurried to finish eating.

I went upstairs and rested.

"Master Li, I looked around just now, and most of the guests' eyes never left you."

Ding Ling watched Li Shouzhong turn around him.

I looked up and down.

"Well, it seems like that."

Ding Ling nodded.

"What's wrong with me? Is there something wrong with it? ”

Li Shouzhong opened his hand and turned around, but he didn't come up with a reason.

"Master Li's dress is too gorgeous, which makes people unconsciously pay attention to you, but in this current situation, I am afraid that you will encounter accidents if you dress like this."

"If there is another ambush, Master Li will be recognizable at a glance when he is dressed like this."

"It's better than this, if Lord Li doesn't dislike it, listen to me change into coarse linen clothes, so that it will be difficult to associate you with you if you encounter an assassin again."

Ding Ling said her thoughts.

"Bold, how can Lord Li wear civilian clothes, wouldn't it make people laugh!"

The subordinate pointed at Ding Ling.

How can their master wear coarse linen clothes, he is the son of a high-ranking servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Shouzhong saw Ding Ling's determined eyes.

Think about the previous assassinations.

also understood that Ding Ling was thinking about his safety.

"Okay, I'll change!"

Li Shouzhong instructed his subordinates to find coarse linen clothes for him.

Go back to your room and change it yourself.

After coming out, Ding Ling glanced at Li Shouzhong.

"Well, that's fine, and the hair will be more perfect if you get the same head shape that a civilian should have!"

Ding Ling boldly commented on Li Shouzhong's career.

"It feels awkward to wear this outfit, and I really can't get used to it."

Li Shouzhong said as he dragged his clothes back and forth.

After changing their clothes, they began to discuss things.

"Okay, there's no outsider here, let's sit down and talk."

Zhou Wenshan opened his mouth and asked everyone to sit down.

After some discussion, it was dark.

It's night.

They went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

The night is dark and the wind is high.

Just as everyone is asleep.

But outside the window, a scent came in.

Take a look.

It turned out that taking advantage of the dark night, several masked people entered the inn.

They blew the incense through the cracks in the window.

Dante Ling has a habit.

is to recognize the bed, she can't sleep well if she changes places.

She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

At this time, she also noticed that there was something wrong in the air.

By virtue of his position as a former surgeon.

It didn't take long to figure it out.

It's a vasher.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose.

"Wenshan, wake up, don't sleep, there's a fragrance."

Ding Ling's first reaction was to wake Zhou Wenshan up.

"What's the matter, Lingling, how did you wake up in the middle of the night without sleeping? Well? What does it smell like in the air? ”

Zhou Wenshan woke up in a daze.

I didn't hear the last word Ding Ling said to him.

"Let's hide quickly, there is a fragrance, quickly cover your mouth and nose, once you inhale too much, you will fall asleep."

Zhou Wenshan heard Ding Ling say this.

Cover your mouth and nose quickly.

Don't let too much incense enter your body.

After a while, the incense had already been blown.

The man in black gestured to the others with an OK gesture.

I thought that the people inside had fallen into his incense and fell asleep.

They left the door of the room without even entering.
