Chapter 210: Crisis

"Brother Yang, we have already traveled a long way today, and it is getting late, let's find a place to rest!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, it's not at this moment! Let's go to the front inn first!"

The three of them rode horses for a while, found an inn, Xiao Er took the three of them to the stable to bolt the horses, Yang An always felt that something was wrong, it was not long after nightfall, it was time for dinner, the general inn was the most lively time at this time, and the people who stayed in the hotel should be too busy to be busy, but this stable had no other horses except for the three horses of Yang An, and the guest rooms were very quiet, and none of the houses were bright.

When they arrived at the lobby, it was empty, so Yang An asked, "Xiao Er, your inn is not small, why doesn't anyone come to eat and stay in the hotel?"

"You don't know, we are in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many guests on weekdays, and when it is cold on this day, there are even fewer people who travel long distances!"

"No, you're not remote here, and there is no other inn in the last thirty or forty miles!" Yang An saw that this little er's eyes flickered, and he expected that there must be deception.

"There are few people, there are few people, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er quickly changed the topic.

"Just stir-fry a few delicate side dishes, as long as you can eat to your heart's content!"

After Xiao Er left, Yang An and the others found a table casually, and Yang An said softly: "There is a problem with this shop, Ruyu, I will have to look at you later!"

"I know!"

"Otherwise, let's stop staying here after dinner!" Yuqu said.

"No, it's very dark at night, and it's dangerous to not be able to leave! Tonight, you two sleep in the same bed, and I'll stay at the door, there shouldn't be any problem!"

"It's good!"

Suddenly, someone outside the door was noisy and shouting, and Yang An looked at it from a distance, it was a group of officers and soldiers, but they were blocked out by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said: "I'm really sorry, a few officials, we are already full here!"

"Fart, how can it be full? All the rooms are dark, haven't you ever lived in a hotel as a grandfather?"

"It's really full, ladies and gentlemen, please go to another house to rest!" The shopkeeper was very polite on the surface, but in fact there was still some disdain in his tone.

Wen Ruyu said: "It's really strange, I've never seen anyone who dares to do business with officers and soldiers, and it's obviously not full, why does he say it's full!" Yang An motioned to her to stop making a noise and take a look first!

"Let me tell you, we are Prime Minister Jia's subordinates, even if we kill you, what can you do? If you know each other, vacate the room and cook a few dishes of wine and food, otherwise, you will be splashed with blood on the spot!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers were frightened, the shopkeeper suddenly softened and said: "Don't don't, don't don't, then I'll vacate our family's room, and you military masters must not be like villains!"

"It's good to get acquainted, arrange the room, and bring the wine and food to the room!" said several officers and soldiers who went upstairs directly.

Xiao Er brought up a bowl of shredded pork with green peppers and said, "Your dish!"

Yang An said: "It's really strange that you shopkeepers have business to come to the door but don't do it!"

Xiao Er said: "Guest officer, don't you know, these officers and soldiers are guests, they are all masters who don't give money after eating, and the shopkeeper is annoying them, if you want to live in a hotel, you can't lose anything by staying overnight, but they just want big fish and meat! How can you stand this?"

"I don't think you shopkeepers look like people who are afraid of things!

"As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that these people don't even pay attention to the county magistrate. Okay, guest officer, your food is going to be ready again, I'll serve it to you!"

After Xiao Er left, Wen Ruyu took the dish and sniffed it, and said, "The color is normal, the smell is normal, there should be no problem!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will use colorless and odorless poison?" asked Yuqu.

Wen Ruyu smiled and said: "There is absolutely no completely colorless and tasteless poison in the world, as long as it is a medicine, it has its unique smell and color, and it is generally said to be colorless and tasteless, but ordinary people can't find it, how can they hide it from me, a miracle doctor!"

Yang An also smiled and said, "Since our great doctor has said that it is not poisonous, even if it is really poisonous, you have to eat it, and if you die, you can only accept your fate!"

After eating, everyone went up the stairs to enter the room, and when they walked to the stairs, Yang An found that the shopkeeper was not lying, there were indeed people in those dark houses, and there were indeed people in every house!

After entering the room, Yang An took the bed quilt in his room to Youqu and Wen Ruyu's room, waited until the two of them fell asleep and covered the quilt for them, and said, "You two can sleep at ease!

At night, Yang An slept by the door, and heard the sound of rustling from time to time, but there was no big movement, it didn't seem to be aimed at Yang An and them, so he no longer doubted and fell asleep!

There was nothing to do all night, and when he got up the next day, Yang An was ready to ask Xiao Er to prepare breakfast for the second daughter, but no one came after calling for a long time, Yang An said in his heart, this inn Xiao Er is too lazy, hasn't it started so late?

Busy going upstairs and pushing open the other guest rooms, all of them were empty, Youqu and Wen Ruyu walked out and said, "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"

"No one is gone, the shopkeeper's junior second is gone, and the people in the guest room are gone!"

"Don't they even want their own shop?" Yuqu said.

"You mean, there were other people living in here yesterday?"

"Not only is it lived, but it's full!"

"But when we came, the lights were all black!" Wen Ruyu said puzzled.

"That's because they've been in ambush for a long time!"

"And what is their purpose?"

"I thought it was coming to deal with us, but now it doesn't seem to be!" As soon as Yang An finished speaking, he only heard the sound of Youqu's "ah", Yang An and Wen Ruyu immediately walked over, and looked at Youqu's eyes, only to see that the officers and soldiers yesterday were all dead in the house!

Wen Ruyu said: "It turns out that they are here to deal with these officers and soldiers!"

"Really?" Yang An didn't think so!

"You don't think so?"

"There were about thirty or forty people who were ambushed in the inn yesterday, and they were all good at the rivers and lakes, and these officers and soldiers were less than 10 people, isn't it overkill? In addition, when the officers and soldiers entered the door, the shopkeeper repeatedly blocked them, which made people even more suspicious, if it was against them, they would come in and stay, and the shopkeeper should not be able to ask for it!" Yang An said.

"And what do you mean?"

Yang An had already entered the house, and when he saw that these officers and soldiers were not injured, he said, "They should have been poisoned!

"It's true that they were poisoned, but it's not a strange poison, there is a small amount of arsenic in the wine, I guess they died unknowingly while drinking!"

"We need to be extra careful along the way!"

"You think it's aimed at us?"

"If you set a trap, is it the easiest for your prey to get in?"

"Of course!"

"Then who got in the hotel the easiest yesterday?"

"It's us!" Wen Ruyu also had to suspect that the enemy was targeting her.
