"Bang, bang!"

May 27, early morning. A sudden knock on the door broke the tranquility of the Ulju Inn in an instant.

However, in the dead of night, the Ulzhou Inn had already been snoring, so it did not respond to the dull knock on the door for a long time.

"Bang bang bang!"

The people outside the door still did not give up, and they were silent for a moment, and then knocked on the door again. It's just that this time the knock was much heavier than just now, and it seemed to be mixed with a little anxiety.

"Who?" Gradually, there was a sound of footsteps in the inn, and the guy who was woken up had a lazy and shrill voice, and complained impatiently, "In the middle of the night, who is 'mourning' outside?"

"Squeak!"

Before the words fell, the door of the inn had been slowly pulled open a crack, and a man with a cloak and sleepy eyes held a candlestick in his hand and looked out of the door angrily.

At this time, the streets of Ulju City were pitch black and empty. In front of the inn stood a few uninvited guests with swords and swords, which were out of place with the surrounding scene.

"You ......" The guy saw that the other party was outnumbered and armed with a sword, so the swear words that slipped to his lips were swallowed back into his stomach raw, and he only looked the group up and down with his eyes, and asked, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

"Man, we're going to stay in the hotel. ”

With an answer, the leader slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing a dignified and resolute face.

This person is Su He.

Standing behind Su He were Feng Tianba, Wu Chan and Li Haitang, and behind them were Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin, who had been disguised and dressed.

At this moment, Zhao Xin seemed to be in poor health, and was carefully supported by Liu Xunyi. Pale and depressed, she looked dying and crumbling and weak.

In fact, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Liu Xunyi and his party went out day and night for several days, and hurried away. Zhao Xin is a golden branch and jade leaf, her body is delicate, she can't bear the toss one after another, her state is getting worse, and now she is sick.

"Staying in the hotel?" the guy was stunned for a moment, looked at a few people again, and hesitated, "Look at a few people who look hurried and look suspicious, isn't it...... What did you do that was unseemly? We are a small business and we don't want to get into trouble......"

"Nonsense!" Feng Tianba reprimanded, "Which law says that you are not allowed to stay overnight in the middle of the night? ”

"Don't worry, we won't be less than the money we should give. Seeing that the guy wanted to argue with Feng Tianba, Su He hurriedly came forward to round the field, and at the same time handed a piece of silver to the guy, "Disturb late at night, it's ours, and the rest of the money should be invited to the little brother to drink." ”

Hearing this, the man took the silver suspiciously, weighed it a few times, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

"That's it! The person who came is a guest, a few people are invited!"

The man stuffed the silver into his arms, and then let Liu Xunyi and his party into the inn and sent them upstairs to rest.

"Bang, bang!"

When everything was arranged, and the delightful man returned to his room with the silver in his hand, there was another knock at the door.

"What day is it? Why do you knock on the door one after another in the middle of the night? and let people sleep!"

Although he was full of complaints, the guy had just gotten the benefits of Su He, so a trace of greed for the people outside the door rose again in his heart.

"Squeak!"

There was a soft sound, and the door was left and right. This time, there was only one person standing outside the inn, a strange man who looked like a man but not a man, a woman and not a woman.

Dressed in a peach blossom robe and carrying a peach blossom sword, a pair of charming eyes comparable to a fox demon shine in the moonlight, making people uncomfortable.

The person who came was Ding Qinghong.

"The guest officer is ......"

"Stay. ”

Ding Qinghong was not as polite as Su He, and before the guy finished speaking, he had already pushed open the door and walked towards the inn like a leisurely stroll.

"Guest, you are ......"

"Xiao Er, ask you a few people. Ding Qinghong looked around in the dim lobby, and then cast a sharp gaze on the guy who was caught off guard, and asked in a strange manner, "In the past one or two days, have there been any strange people staying overnight?"

"What kind of strange person?" seemed to be frightened by Ding Qinghong's momentum, and the guy who had just been flamboyant became a little stammering at the moment, "What is the guest officer staying in...... Or are you looking for someone?"

"I live in a hotel and I look for someone. Ding Qinghong walked up to the guy in a leisurely manner, gently held his chin with the scabbard, and asked again, "These people are men and women, neither acquaintances nor acquaintances in Ulju City, but also very frequent vendors, all of whom are fresh-faced. Among them, the woman has a beautiful appearance, gentle and dignified words and deeds, and is a beautiful girl. And the men's ...... Most of them were wounded. By the way, they carry blades with them, and at a glance they know that they are not good stubble. ”

"This ......"

In fact, as soon as Ding Qinghong opened his mouth, the guy thought of the uninvited guests who had just stayed there, but he didn't tell him directly, but wanted to get some benefits from Ding Qinghong, so he pretended to be ignorant and replied: "We open the door to do business, and there are so many guests coming and going every day, how can I remember clearly?"

"Don't rush, think slowly!"

Seeing that Ding Qinghong "didn't know the current affairs", the guy couldn't help but feel displeased, pretending to stretch his waist, yawning, and prevaricating: "I was woken up by you, and my head was a mess, and I really couldn't think of it." If...... Can the guest help me refresh myself, maybe ......"

As the guy spoke, he showed a "tacit" evil smile at Ding Qinghong.

Seeing this, Ding Qinghong's eyes quietly flashed with a hint of understanding, so he responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you refresh yourself!"

"Really?"

"Come, come here!"

"The guest officer doesn't have to break too much, give a little ......"

"Poof!"

"Snort. ”

"Ahh

Seeing Ding Qinghong happily agree, the guy was overjoyed. However, before he could stretch out his hand, Ding Qinghong actually pulled his sword out of the sheath with lightning speed, so that his sword fell, and instantly cut off the man's left ear, causing him to let out a scream like killing a pig.

"How?" Ding Qinghong's movements were completed in one go, and he put his sword into the sheath in the blink of an eye, and at the same time asked the heart-rending guy with a smile, "Are you awake now?"

"You ......"

"If you still can't remember, I can help you with one more lift. ”

"No...... No need ......"

The guy was so frightened by Ding Qinghong's cruelty that he trembled, and even his crotch couldn't help but be a little warmer, and he shook his head desperately like a rattle with his hands covering his ears: "I remember!

"Say it quickly!" Ding Qinghong's eyes were cold, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, "The lazy and slippery dog thing dares to calculate on my head, are you tired of it?"

"Uncle spares his life, the villain will never dare again......"

"You know who I'm looking for, don't you? Tell me where they are?" Ding Qinghong grabbed the guy by the collar and dragged him to him, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll cut your tongue." ”

"Say!" I said...... "The man was so frightened that he couldn't care about the pain in his ears anymore, and he stretched out his hand to the second floor with a trembling hand, "The villain doesn't know if they are the people the uncle is looking for......

Hearing this, a flash of excitement suddenly flashed in the depths of Ding Qinghong's eyes, and he looked up at the second floor in the direction of the guy's finger.

At this moment, in the dim and quiet corridor on the second floor, Liu Xunyi stood with his hands in his hands, silently watching everything that happened downstairs with an expressionless face.

Suddenly, the four eyes met, their eyes intertwined, and two completely different expressions gradually appeared on the faces of the two.

"Gonggong Ding, don't come to harm?" Liu Xunyi's expression was solemn, and there was a slight hint of temptation in his plain voice, "There is a turmoil in Yunya Town, Gonggong Ding is alive and dead, and there is no corpse, which is really worrying." ”

Ding Qinghong knocked the guy unconscious with his backhand, a treacherous smile appeared on his indifferent face, and said: "That day, Yunya Town was besieged on all sides, and the flames were soaring, I wanted to rescue the princess in the chaos, but I was unexpectedly besieged by countless black-clothed people, and I broke up after fighting. After that day, I went all the way north to inquire about the princess's news, and I couldn't sleep at night because I couldn't think about tea and dinner. Lord Liu, Lord Liu, can you make our family find it so hard?"

As for this, Ding Qinghong's face suddenly changed, pretending to be worried, and hurriedly said: "Where is the princess? Are you hurt? Are you frightened? I want to meet the princess ......?"

"No need!" Liu Xunyi refused, "The princess is tired from traveling and driving, and her body is unwell, and she has just fallen asleep. ”

"Feeling unwell?" Ding Qinghong said in surprise, "The princess is a daughter, why don't you take care of it? How can you make the princess sick?"

"The princess is just too tired, it's fine!"

Su He walked out of the guest room, stood side by side with Liu Xunyi, condescendingly, looked at Ding Qinghong with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, and asked, "When the accident happened in Yunya Town, where was Gonggong Ding?"

"As I said earlier, I was scattered by the man in black. ”

"Really?" Su He was quite skeptical of Ding Qinghong's explanation, "But we all lived in the North Street store that day, why didn't Su, General Sui, and Commander Feng see Your Excellency?"

"That night, I had unbearable abdominal pain, so I went to the toilet in the courtyard, but halfway through the Gonggong out, the North Street store was already full of people and fires. Ding Qinghong said the words that he had already been familiar with, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, "At that time, you were all blocked in the store by the men in black, and I fought with them outside, so I couldn't meet each other. ”

"In that case, how do you know if we are dead or alive?"

"The bad news of Yunya Town has spread far and wide, and the next day it has been spread to the whole world, and our family will ask the results of Yunya Town clearly as soon as we inquire a little. Ding Qinghong explained slowly, "It is rumored that Yunya Town only found the bodies of Tao Amu and Xu Guangsheng, and did not find the whereabouts of the king and princess of Hexi...... But I firmly believe that Princess Jiren has her own natural appearance, and nothing will happen. There is no news of the princess, but the best news. Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will go north to find the whereabouts of the princess, and even if I find Kazulin all the way, I will never give up. ”

At this point, Ding Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Fortunately, God treats me well, so let me find you here, which is a blessing in misfortune!"

Looking at Ding Qinghong's pretentious smile, Liu Xunyi and Su He couldn't help but glance at each other, and an indescribable meaning of thought appeared between their eyebrows.

It should be a good thing to reunite with Ding Qinghong, but Liu Xunyi and Su He felt a little strange vaguely, but they couldn't say what was strange for a while.
