Chapter 67 Yuxi Tower

Chu Rong'er stepped out of the hospital and walked in front of the old elm tree to think about it, there was definitely something strange about donating medicine.

The evening breeze blows comfortably. Hop on horseback and look through the roster, and drive the horse to Xu Dalang's house in Weichuan Town.

Different from the ancient kiln village, Xujiacha looks rich as a whole, with only a few thatched houses, and the avenue into the alley is paved with green bricks, and the horse's hooves step on it, and the sound of clattering loudly.

In the afterglow of the setting sun against the wall, five or six old men with white beards were clustered around.

Dismount and walk to the base of the wall.

"General!"

"Alas, the sixth army eats cannons, and Pegasus is quite an elephant, so he earns him a son for nothing!"

Watching chess is silent and true gentlemen, but where can these old grandfathers accept this gushing chess move?

Chu Rong'er asked for directions, the old man pointed his finger, said a pass, listened confusedly, and saw that the old man turned around and stared at the chessboard again, so he got on the horse and touched it himself. Compared with those tender-headed babies, guiding the way is 1510's enthusiasm.

Chu Rong'er asked a few old ladies who were cooking with salaries, and after a few circles, she finally found Xu Dalang's portal.

Entering the door, a maid brought a pot of freshly pickled green cabbage stalks, and the white and tender noodles were served on the table steaming.

After eating, Chu Rong'er directly picked out and asked about the medicinal materials in detail.

Xu Dalang was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes twice, touched his head, and still told the truth truthfully. It is true that the matter of sending the medicine was not done on his own initiative, but the medicine sent by the innkeeper of Sumu Town, and five hundred copper coins as a reward.

Chu Rong'er's lips moved slightly, she blinked, and stopped talking, when Sister Feiyan left the Chu Mansion, she seemed to have gone to that inn, this is no coincidence, she will definitely be able to find out the clues of the snake hub.

Chu Rong'er took advantage of the moonlight to rise, rushed to Sumu Town, and went straight to the inn.

"Yuxi Building" three large ink-colored characters engraved on the plaque on the second floor, as usual, has not changed at all, but the business is not as busy as usual. The shopkeepers inside are all acquaintances, so just greet them directly when they enter the door.

As soon as he entered the building, Xiao Er glanced at him in surprise, and walked over to greet him: "Miss Chu, it's getting late, what do you have to say?"

"Stay in the hotel, bring me a room, hot water will be delivered later." ”

"This..."Xiao Erhu was suspicious and hadn't finished speaking.

Shopkeeper Xue stepped forward with a smile, "Miss Chu, it's awkward with the master, I'll go to the house with you to reconcile and reconcile for you, after all, the relationship between father and daughter is not good!"

"Uncle Xue, you are too careful, Rong'er is just tired of living in the house, and wants to play tricks in this Yuxi Tower for a few days. ”

Chu Rong'er took out the broken silver and put it on the wooden counter, and Shopkeeper Xue hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it into her hand.

"Miss Chu, don't accept cashiers, you can stay for a few days if you want to. ”

"Why?" Chu Rong'er frowned and was puzzled.

Shopkeeper Xue smiled, "Business has to be taken care of by Master Chu often, and the girl will stay for a few days, how can there be any reason to collect money?"

Chu Rong'er was no longer polite, put the broken silver in her bag, changed her left hand to carry Chengshuang, and followed Xiao Er to the third floor.

Chu Rong'er casually resigned from Xiao Er, and Chengshuang threw it on the table and said with emotion: "This Yuxi Tower will definitely leak flaws, sooner or later, you have to keep an eye on it at night." ”

Pushing open the half-covered window and looking at the first floor, there was nothing unusual, Chu Rong'er sighed helplessly, she couldn't sit still, she felt a smoldering fire in her chest, and she felt uncomfortable. But there is no ingenious way, so I can only press the anxiety in my heart and wait quietly.

Chu Rong'er was lying on the table and touched the carving marks on the sheath of Chengshuang's sword, and the sound of Xiao Er delivering water came from outside the door, she opened the door to receive hot water, washed her face, and felt much more comfortable on her body, and the fatigue of running around was also reduced a lot.

In the middle of the night, Chu Rong'er couldn't sit still, opened the window, kicked on the corner of the eaves, and rushed to the roof of the "Yuxi Tower".

It's cold from above, but the view is wide. She was half-squatting and patrolling the bottom of the building, and suddenly a small black shadow jumped by, Chu Rong'er tightened the scabbard in her hand, and flashed with a meow, it turned out to be a wild cat, which startled her for a while.

If this "Yuxi Tower" is really connected with the snake hub, it must be the first choice to touch the dark at night, so as not to be targeted by Xu Chonghuan's secret guards and encounter accidents.

In the backyard, the door creaks open.

Chu Rong'er couldn't see it clearly, she closed her eyes, shook her head, and suddenly opened her eyes, and a woman in black armor entered the corridor on the second floor with a knife.

Chu Rong'er resisted the wind on the soles of her feet, lightly touched her feet, and flew to the roof of the building on the east side to continue peeking.

The backs of the two lights stood opposite each other, and Chu Rong'er walked sideways, with a barbed foot, and approached gently from the corridor on the second floor.

The sound of the soles of the feet was completely dispelled with the force in the chest.

Chu Rong'er dipped her fingers in some saliva and poked open the layer of window paper.

As expected, Shopkeeper Xue bowed his hand and reported the situation to a woman. Sneaky in the middle of the night, there must be nothing good about it. Now shoot and catch that woman, you will definitely get it. Message to the Serpent Hub. Chu Rong'er had just taken a side step and was already discovered by the woman.

"Who?"

Chu Rong'er slipped into the house quickly, and Shopkeeper Xue was stunned.

"Miss Chu!"

Chu Rong'er didn't talk nonsense anymore, she directly picked up her sword, and stabbed the woman in the forehead with a cross-step momentum.

The woman didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately drew her knife to catch a move.

"Miss Chu, what is there to say, why bother to meet each other with a sword, I hurt my body, how should I explain to Master Chu?"

"Hmph! she can't hurt me. ”

In the blink of an eye, the sword had been fighting for four or five rounds, and the shopkeeper Xue saw that the two of them were holding their swords, one turned over and kicked the hilt and handle of the sword with his two toes, kicking the two of them to regain their momentum and hold the sword in their hands.

"Stop!"

The woman directly put away the knife, Chu Rong'er squinted at it, if she came out with the sword again, it would be unkind, Chengshuang threw it aside, and fed her right fist.

The woman bowed her head sideways and smashed her right fist into the air.

The woman took a step back and shouted, "Miss Chu, why are you so aggressive?"

"I'm aggressive, joke! You're justified as a thief!"

"You ......"

The woman's face was horizontal, and her nostrils were bulging and she exhaled two vicious breaths.

"Take me to the snake hub, I will not embarrass you, otherwise, it is impossible for you to slip out from under my nose. If you don't believe me, you can try. ”

"Serpent, how do I know about them?"

"Don't fill me with garlic, if there is no basis, can I mess around? Mingren doesn't say secret words, if you bring it, I will go with you immediately, if you don't bring it, the frost on my waist has been resting long enough. ”

"Miss Chu, don't be embarrassed by Miss Guan, she is in a hurry, she just arrived here, and she will continue to set off tomorrow to escort a batch of wine and wild goods to Nanhua County!"

"Haha, Uncle Xue, just a few jars of wine and a few pheasants and game, do you need to supply them from our Qingzhou, besides, does this need to be escorted, and it is not a gold ingot and silver treasure of the imperial court, who will be eyeing this business, this lie ......"

Shopkeeper Xue immediately made a look, and Guan Yanrou immediately understood.

"Miss Chu, the goods are still in the backyard! I have been doing business with Uncle Xue for many years, and I have rested in Yuxi Tower halfway. ”

"Hmph, hum......" Chu Rong'er sneered a few times.

"Uncle Xue, I have already gone to Carpenter Zhang's house and Xu Dalang's house in Weichuan Town to supply medicine, and it is already clear that Sister Feiyan also stopped here when she went to Nanzhao, could all this be a coincidence?"

Shopkeeper Xue was silent.

Chu Rong'er smiled lightly: "Uncle Xue, Miss Guan, please be relieved, I went to the snake hub just to find out the news, and I have no other intentions, although the court ordered the arrest of the snake hub, but the kindness of the snake hub, the people all see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts." Although the little woman is dull, she can still distinguish between right and wrong in front of the big things, so take me to the snake hub!"

Guan Yanrou ignored it indifferently, walked to the table and sat on the wooden chair, a small flying knife was thrown out, and the gray core on the lamp flame was sharpened, and the light swayed and gradually became brighter.
