Chapter 157: The Secret of Three Bridges

Zilan came at the right time to rescue Ren Xiao, who had no way out.

Sycamore reached out and picked up a wooden box from the wooden shelf next to him and threw it towards the door, and the wooden box smashed the deadbolt impartially.

"Come in yourself!" Sycamore's cold tone came out the door.

Wearing a golden hairpin, a bright red gown, and many blooming flowers on her clothes, Zilan was dressed as delicate as a bride to be married.

Zilan walked in cautiously, and saw that Wutong was forcing Ren Xiao in the corner, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she stood there at a loss.

"Just find a place to sit! I didn't expect you to come to the door so quickly. Wutong let go of Ren Xiao and walked towards Zilan. Now that the other party has sent it to the door, let's have fun with her. Zilan stood there motionless, and sat down without listening to Wutong's words.

"You can also see it, we are all the same, as a woman, I can't do anything to you, but there is a man over there, I just don't know if you really listen to me tonight?" Seeing that Zilan was still standing there motionless, Wutong didn't bother to speak, but changed the topic.

"Since the girl received the handkerchief, then the slave family will obey your orders tonight!" Zilan didn't dare to look into Wutong's eyes, and said with her head down. "Okay, then you can serve this son for me tonight, otherwise I won't be able to let you!"

Wutong's words surprised Ren Xiao, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, what's the matter with me, don't pull me in!" Wutong looked at Ren Xiao, his eyes were full of charm, and said, "Then do you want me to serve you personally?"

While the three of them were chatting awkwardly, there was a noise on the first floor. I vaguely heard the guy say: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is really no room, you better find other places!"

A familiar voice scolded: "You don't talk so much nonsense, the guest room is gone, what about the firewood room, the kitchen, and the stable? Ren Xiao heard this person's voice clearly, it was today that he went down and met Bai Jingtang. Speaking of which, Ren Xiao remembered the guy at the inn and said that the guest room was full, but he went upstairs and didn't find anyone else in the inn until now!

Ren Xiao opened the door a crack and saw Bai Jing, Tang Xiao, Silent and Qi Le standing downstairs. Ren Xiao turned his head and asked Zilan, "Did the three of them come with you?" Zilan shook her head: "I don't know either." ”

"And how did you know we were at this inn?"

"There's only one inn left in Three Bridges Town at the moment, so you can only come here. Zilan's tone didn't have much emotion, more of a mechanical answer, which made Ren Xiao a little uncomfortable. "Do you talk like this all the time?"

Zilan was speechless, not knowing how to answer this sentence, and finally held back for a long time and said: "I grew up in Yihong Mansion since I was a child, and no one told me how to speak, so I talk like this with those people." Zilan's words contained a trace of sincerity and helplessness.

Ren Xiao nodded, and then closed the door, it is estimated that the three people downstairs came with Zilan, but they don't know what their plans are. Ren Xiao walked to Zilan's side and looked at her carefully, unlike Wutong, Zilan seemed to have long been used to being looked at her like this, and there was no trace of reaction on her face. Wutong was unhappy: "Have you seen enough, is it good-looking?"

Ren Xiao hurriedly stopped his eyes wandering on Zilan's body and said, "You said that you grew up here, then do you understand the situation here?"

Obviously, Ren Xiao's several questions today are beyond the topics that Zilan is exposed to on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to answer them for a long time. Wutong said impatiently: "What kind of place is this? Who usually come here? Are there any suspicious people or things lately?"

Only then did Zilan react and replied, "This is Sanqiao Town, which existed hundreds of years ago. Legend has it that there are three bridges buried under the town of Sanqiao, which used to be the remains of the battle between the Central Plains and the Huns, but now there are a large number of Central Plains and Hun barbarians living here at the same time, and everyone gets along relatively well. ”

"Then whose jurisdiction does this belong to?Hun barbarians or the capital?" Ren Xiao continued to ask, he secretly felt that he could find clues that the Hun barbarians had infiltrated the Central Plains here.

"This place is not under anyone's jurisdiction, and the Hun barbarians and the capital are not under their control. ”

"Why?" Sycamore asked curiously. Zilan replied seriously, "Because I've heard that those who have been here will never be able to return here the second time, so even if someone finds out about it, they don't know where it is." ”

"There is such a miraculous thing, so don't you people here go out?"

"Of course there were people who went out, but after that they were never heard from again. They all said that this is not anywhere, it is a non-trivial area. ”

"Then who will maintain the law and order here?" Ren Xiao was very curious that since there was no one to govern, why could everyone live in peace and quiet for so long, was there really not a bad person.

"Although there are no official officials here, there are thugs, and if someone is a traitor, then everyone will ask thugs to teach this person a lesson. ”

"Aren't they just mercenaries?"

"The main thugs are the three people you met today, Bai Jing, Tang Xiao, Silent and Qi Lelu. ”

"It turns out that they are a gang, no wonder they are inseparable, and when they meet outsiders, they can work together to the outside world. Only then did Ren Xiao understand the identities of these three people, although it was difficult for him to understand the custom of hiring thugs here, but as an outsider, he could only look at it.

"By the way, then do you know if there has been a group of Hun barbarians coming in and out of here recently?" Since the situation here is unimaginable and difficult to accept, Ren Xiao simply inquired directly about what he wanted to know.

Just then, there was a fight downstairs, and it was clear that someone had fallen to the ground and smashed a table. Wutong made a silent gesture, and then lay down with Ren Xiao in the crack of the door to observe carefully. I saw a large number of Hun barbarians downstairs at some point, these Hun barbarians were fierce and vicious, obviously not locals, and they all had waist knives hanging from their waists.

It was Bai Jingtang and the three of them who clashed with them, and the two sides had already fought. Although Bai Jingtang's martial arts are not weak, the other party is better than many people, and soon the three of them will not be able to support it, and there will be dangers.

"It seems that your thugs are in trouble today!" Ren Xiao turned his head to Zilan and said. Zilan said worriedly: "I heard the old mother say that if there are no thugs in Sanqiao Town, then no one can stop the bad guys from committing crimes. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ren Xiao suddenly understood that he had just misunderstood the profession of a thug. They are not what they think, whoever gives money will help whomever they want, according to the meaning of Zilan's current sentence, they are actually the force to maintain the law and order of life here.

"Let's go down and help them!" Ren Xiao looked at Wutong. "I'm not going, I'm going to you, they just wanted to clean me up!" Sycamore scoffed, intending to stand by.

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Xiao had already pushed the door out.

"Stop!" a loud shout shook everyone downstairs, and everyone looked back at the pretentious teenager.

"Who are you? Don't meddle with things!" The leader of the group of Hun barbarians was a big man with a scar in the corner of his eye, and he was full of anger.

"You guys fight until I sleep, you want to fight out!" Ren Xiao jumped down from the second floor and stood on the table between the two sides. "You're the kid just now, it looks like Miss Zilan is here, right. Bai Jingtang was not afraid of the predicament just now, it seemed that this Zilan was the most important thing in his eyes.

"She's upstairs, but we're going to bed soon, so please don't disturb me!"

It can be seen that although Bai Jingtang's face is full of unwillingness, it is indeed Wutong who got the handkerchief, and he can only accept this indisputable fact.

"Little ghost, we also live here, what do we want to do is our freedom!These three people want us to give them a room, what is wrong with Lao Tzu not wanting to give him?" Ren Xiao also saw that there were many of them, so he had to face Bai Jingtang and them, and said: "Three heroes, I just heard the deeds of the three of them from Miss Zilan, and I admire them very much, but since people refuse to give up the house, I think there must be their reasons, if we force it, it will be difficult for some strong people." ”

Bai Jingtang saw that what Ren Xiao said made sense, just now he was indeed a little anxious to find the whereabouts of Miss Zilan, now that he had determined that she was here, he was relieved, so he took the lead in retreating and apologized: "I was reckless just now, and please forgive me!" The leader of the Hun barbarians did not appreciate it, and turned around and went up the stairs without saying a word.

After that, Bai Jingtang and the three of them stayed in the stable, intending to stare at Ren Xiao's room all night. This made Ren Xiao very uncomfortable, and it was very uncomfortable to be monitored like this.

"By the way, Miss Zilan, have you seen these Hun barbarians before just now?" Ren Xiao stopped the fight downstairs and went upstairs for a while. Wutong was very unhappy to see that Zilan had been standing there, and forcibly stuffed a stool for her, and Zilan sat down.

After trying to recall for a while, Zilan finally shook her head and said, "Although people come and go in Sanqiao Town every day, most of the people who have settled here are familiar to me. ”

Ren Xiao smiled slightly, "What I was waiting for is what you said! If I guessed correctly, this group of people is very likely to be the Hun barbarians who infiltrated the Central Plains, and they didn't come here to pass by, I think they have other purposes." ”
