Suddenly, the weather began to be overcast, and the gray clouds obscured the sun, and it began to rain in the city at any time. Ji Cha and Hong Chen quickened their pace and trotted to the Tianlin Inn, only to see that Ziyun City was even more generous than the one in Wuyun City, with golden tiles, red bricks and blue plaques, and two stone lions squatting in front of the door with teeth and claws. It was still morning, and many people were already in and out of it.

A guy came up with a smile on his face and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Ji Cha opened his mouth and said, "You don't have to eat, we came here at night, so let's rest first." ”

The guy asked again: "We have fourth-class rooms in our store, which one do you want to stay? one or two?"

"Bring me the best. Ji Cha replied without thinking, and pointed at Hong Chen again, "He, just arrange the most inferior one." Boil some bath water. ”

The guy made a gesture: "I'm sorry, guest officer, our guest room is relatively small, there is no bathtub, why don't you add two silver and replace it with a C-class room?"

Hong Chen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to change it, I don't take a bath." ”

Ji Cha turned his head and pinched his waist, saying, "You dare not take a bath? Take him to the backyard first, and just flush it with two basins of well water. In the summer, take a cold shower to cool off and be comfortable!"

The guy nodded: "Then there will be a first-class good room and a first-class room." ”

"Pay. Ji Cha poked Hongchen with his elbow again, "Come to the first floor at noon to eat fire." ”

Hong Chen untied the burden around his waist and paid the silver. The guy beckoned two maids to take Ji Cha upstairs to live, and he took Hong Chen to the backyard of the inn. On the way, the guy said to Hong Chen: "Little brother, your young lady treats you too badly, obviously she brought a lot of coils, and she refused to even pay two more silver for you to take a hot bath." ”

Hong Chen didn't explain, just laughed. But I was thinking in my heart that I and Ji Cha were pretending to be young ladies and subordinates, and we must pretend to be more like each other, so as not to be eye-catching, not to mention that Ji Cha was not stingy, and I invited myself to eat the whole banquet in Kyushu, and I don't know how much that meal costed.

After taking a shower in the backyard and drying himself, Hong Chen went to live in a guest room on the third floor with his buddy. Although it is the most simple guest room of the Tianlin Inn, it is also clean and tidy, the bedding is washed with new pulp, but the room is smaller, except for a bed, a table and a stool.

The guy made a pot of tea and put it on the table, closed the door and left. Hong Chen didn't drink tea, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep for a while, his mind was pure thinking about what had happened in the past few days, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world outside Taoyuan was really very interesting, but he didn't know when he would be able to find the knife, and then go back to Taoyuan to take the master out and taste the fire and roast duck.

I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't have enough energy in the end, Hong Chen thought about things, and gradually fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden sound of many people running over outside the door, Hong Chen woke up and opened his eyes, saw that the room was still dark, and heard that it was crackling and raining outside, sat up, his stomach growled, and he didn't know if it was noon, so he went to the first floor to take a look.

Walking out of the door, Hong Chen saw many people in yellow shirts and blue pants standing near the stairs, patted one of them on the shoulder curiously, and asked, "Big brother, what's the matter, everyone is around?"

The man turned his head and said, "There are people from the Imperial Sword Hall who are coming to see our elders, and the brothers are waiting to see." ”

Hong Chen asked again, "What is the Imperial Sword Hall, and who are you elders?"

The man glanced at Hong Chen up and down, chuckled, raised his head, and almost pointed his nostrils at Hong Chen, adding a bit of disdain in his tone: "I thought you were also a Jianghu person, but it turned out that you were a farmer who didn't understand anything." Go and go, stay honest, and don't make a mess. If you offend the adults of Edgeworth, you don't know how you don't have a head!"

Seeing that the man was very polite, Hong Chen couldn't help but ask the sentence "Why do I have no brains", squeezed through the crowd and walked down the stairs.

When he arrived on the first floor, Hong Chen glanced at the hall and saw that Ji Cha was sitting at a table by the door, with the blue dress he had to wear on his body, and his skin seemed to be whiter than before, and he couldn't help but think: "This ability to disguise and change appearance is really powerful, when I learn it, I will pretend to be a white-bearded old man, and I don't have to call everyone big brother." ”

Hong Chen walked over and sat down opposite Ji Cha. Ji Cha was eating the fire, looked up at Hong Chen, pushed the plate in front of him, and said, "I left you two fires, let's eat first." The guy surnamed Liu hasn't come yet, so he probably doesn't want to give us the bounty and slips away by himself. ”

"What is Edgeworth?"

Hong Chen said, picked up a fire and sent it to his mouth.

Ji Cha said while eating the fire, "You listened to the people of the Jianghe Gang?"

Hong Chen thought about it, those people in yellow shirts and blue pants were dressed like Zhang Zichai's subordinates in Dark Cloud City, and it was estimated that the people who dressed like this were all from the Jianghe Gang, so he nodded.

Ji Cha slowly swallowed the contents of his mouth before he said again: "The Imperial Sword Hall, like the Ziyi Wei I met before, is a thing under the jurisdiction of the Guiyi Division, and the people in it are all imperial eagle dogs. Compared to the Purple Guard, there are very few people in the Imperial Sword Hall, but most of them are elites. I don't know what the people from the Imperial Sword Hall are going to do when they come to the elders of the Jianghe Gang. ”

"Eighty percent of the people who came to Tianlin Inn were to eat, maybe they wanted to eat the best donkey meat. ”

Hong Chen had already eaten a big mouthful of the roast at this time, only to feel that the roasted skin was crispy and crispy, the donkey meat was fragrant and tender, and the salty fragrance had a hint of sweetness, which was really delicious. I couldn't help but think in my heart, even the donkey meat on the ground is so delicious, what should the dragon meat in the sky taste like?

"Are you like you, are you a gluttonous pig who only knows how to eat?" Ji Cha said, his head suddenly turned, looked at the door of the inn, and said in a low voice, "Here it is." ”

"Who's coming?"

Hong Chen was puzzled and also looked at the door.

But she saw a young woman dressed in gray and white clothes enter the inn, and many Jianghe gangs followed her nervously. The woman stepped on black boots with gold soles, a red ribbon around her waist, only half of the sleeves of her blouse, revealing her snow-white arms, her black hair hanging down her waist, and her facial features were also extremely beautiful, but a pair of eyes seemed to contain no emotion, and they were extremely cold.

But the most striking thing is her hands. On his right hand, he wore a pure white velvet glove, with slender fingers, but on his left hand, he wore a glove that seemed to be made of black black iron—not so much a glove as a steel claw, and all five fingertips gleamed with cold light.

Hong Chen was staring at the woman carefully, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, but it was Ji Cha who stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and then heard Ji Cha say: "What do you see? She is so good-looking, do you like her?"

"It's pretty good. "But I don't like her." ”

Ji Cha snorted: "You still don't like it, it turns out that nerds can also lie." ”

"I'm not a fool, and I'm not lying. Hong Chen added, "Her eyes are too fierce, like a python." I don't like pythons, there was once a python that ate three of my bamboo rats in one day, and two more than selling fish. ”

The first floor of the inn, which had been noisy, was also quiet at this time, and the diners all stared at the woman who came in, many of them showed very shocked looks, and some of them turned pale, and the fire in the hands of two of them fell to the ground.

Hong Chen asked Ji Cha, "Do you know who she is?"

Ji Cha shook his head: "I don't recognize it." But maybe there are people here who know and are afraid of her. ”

"The iron hand is ruthless to Hailan. Suddenly, a low voice sounded in the ears of the two of them, "In the 'Nine Swords Heavenly Guard' of the Imperial Sword Hall, she ranks seventh. ”

Ji Cha and Hong Chen saw that it was Liu Quan sitting beside them. Liu Quan's eyes were only fixed on the woman's back, and he continued to whisper, "I'm afraid there is no kindness for the Imperial Sword Hall to send her here. ”

"Brother Liu, eat the fire quickly. ”

Hong Chen hurriedly handed the last fire on the plate to Liu Quan.

"Thank you, Brother Black Tea. Liu Quan took the fire, but didn't eat it, but put it back on the plate, "I'm going to the official mansion here, and I've already seen Ying Hailan." In addition to this, another surprising news was learned. ”

"Why are you always startled?" Ji Cha glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid of 'amazing' at every turn, and his courage is smaller than that of a bamboo rat." ”

Liu Quan turned his face to look at Ji Cha and said seriously: "This matter is actually very important. The flower thief 'Zhong Huozi', who has committed many crimes in Yunzhou, has arrived in Ziyun City! Last night, he had already kidnapped the wife of their head in the 'Chasing Light Gate'! It is very likely that he is still hiding somewhere in Ziyun City. Miss Ji Chen, you must be careful!"
