Chapter 52: The Inn Horror
There were unforeseen storms and clouds, and the sun was shining just now, and then it was drizzling again.
In the carriage, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, while Zhang Wei, a scholar in white, was a self-acquaintance, chatting with Liang Feiyan while enjoying the scenery outside the window.
"Miss Feiyan, thank you and Brother Jiang for your help, if you don't meet the two of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in this imperial examination in time!" Wang Wei said with a grateful look on his face.
"Brother Zhang, you are too polite, it's just a gesture!" Liang Feiyan smiled slightly.
Zhang Wei opened the curtain of the car and looked out the window in amazement, "It's the first time I've been to Bianjing, and I can't imagine that the scenery along the way is so beautiful! ’”
"Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to like Zhinan's poems too, I also like his poems, gentle and elegant, refreshing, reading his poems gives people an immersive feeling!" Liang Feiyan said with a little surprise.
"It turns out that Miss Feiyan also has research on poetry, but after my imperial examination, I will find a time for you and me to discuss together!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Along the way, Zhang Wei and Liang Feiyan had all smiles, while Jiang Yun kept silent all the time recuperating.
The rain slowly stopped, and then Jiang Yun opened his eyes, he looked at the sky outside the window, and asked the coachman.
"Handlebar type, how far is it from Bianjing, and there is a place to stay?"
"If you go back to Gongzi, this is still more than three hundred miles away from Bianjing, and about forty miles ahead is Nanchuan County, and we can get there before dark!" replied the coachman.
"Brother Jiang, you're awake! The scenery on this road is so beautiful, Brother Jiang has missed the beautiful scenery!" Zhang Wei said.
Jiang Yun said without a smile, "Jiang is a rough person, he doesn't know how to appreciate any beautiful scenery, but Brother Zhang is very knowledgeable, presumably this imperial examination will definitely be able to be named on the gold list!"
"With Brother Jiang's auspicious words, if you are lucky enough to be able to go to high school, you will never forget Jiang Yun's grace today!" Zhang Weiyan thanked.
The sky gradually darkened, and a bustling county town appeared ahead. The coachman hurried up and finally arrived in Nanchuan County before dark.
"Miss Childe, Nanchuan County has arrived!" said the coachman, stopping the carriage.
Jiang Yun and the three of them walked out of the carriage one after another, this is an ancient county town, full of antique buildings. Probably because of its proximity to the capital, it is very prosperous here, and people come and go endlessly.
Under the guidance of the coachman, Jiang Yun and his party came to a place called "Fulin Inn" to settle down.
"Little Er, prepare four upper rooms for me!"
"Qiqi several guest officials, because of the proximity to the imperial examination, there has been an endless stream of students who have recently entered Beijing to take the exam, so there is only one upper room and one ordinary lower room left in the store!" said the shopkeeper apologetically.
"Then two!" Jiang Yun said with a slight frown.
"The three of us live in the upper room, Yan'er, you can live in the lower room if you are wronged!" Jiang Yun continued.
Because the lower room is very small, that is, it is a little crowded for two people, and three people will definitely not be able to live, so Jiang Yun can only let Liang Feiyan live in the lower room.
"Oh, it's okay, Brother Jiang!" Liang Feiyan said with a little disappointment.
There were two beds in the upper room, Liang Feiyan originally thought that Jiang Yun would be with her, although this was rude, but she still had a little desire to be alone with Jiang Yun in her heart.
"Okay, it's not too early, let's rest early!" Jiang Yun said.
When parting, Jiang Yun took out a bell from his arms and handed it to Liang Feiyan, asking her to hang it on the door before going to bed at night, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Liang Feiyan, it is bound to shake the bell, and Jiang Yun will know it by then.
This bell was given by Jiang Yun's master Dugu Nanfeng, and as long as it was within a hundred zhang, Jiang Yun would hear it.
After arranging Liang Feiyan downstairs, Jiang Yun returned to the upper room upstairs.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Wei said, "Brother Jiang, you came just in time, there are two beds in this upper room, I just discussed with the coachman's eldest brother, you and him have one bed, and I will make up for one night on the ground!"
Jiang Yun did not object to Zhang Wei's suggestion, after all, Zhang Wei was incidental, and the house money was all paid by Jiang Yun, so it was already very good to let him have a place to live.
Perhaps a little tired, Jiang Yun went to bed early. And Zhang Wei pulled the coachman to chat all over the world, and chatted until the third watch, and the two fell asleep.
The breeze blew outside the window, and from time to time there was the sound of leaves, and the drizzle began to fall again.
Halfway through the fourth watch, the rain stopped at this time, and the wind outside had gradually calmed down. The coachman lay soundly asleep on his bed, making a small snoring sound.
Zhang Wei, who was asleep on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and an indifferent look appeared on his face. His right hand slowly reached into the sleeve of his left hand and drew a dagger that was more than a foot long.
Zhang Wei slowly turned his head and stared at Jiang Yun fiercely. Suddenly, he slapped the ground with one hand, and the whole person spun into the air.
A faint moonlight reflected from Zhang Wei's dagger. Just as Zhang Wei's dagger was about to stab Jiang Yun's throat, Jiang Yun's body moved violently towards the wall, and Zhang Wei's knife stabbed on the bed board.
As if in anticipation, Zhang Wei immediately changed his moves, he clenched the dagger fixed on the bed board, and his body quickly turned, towards Jiang Yun's head is a leg.
Jiang Yun slapped the bed board with one hand, and his body also rose into the air, Zhang Wei kicked the head of the bed again, only to hear a "click", and the head of the bed was kicked to pieces by Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei quickly pulled out the dagger, jumped up, and stabbed the dagger towards Jiang Yun's chest. Jiang Yun kicked the wall with his right foot, and his body flipped outward.
Zhang Wei's knife stabbed into the air again, he simply threw away the dagger in his hand, changed his hand to grasp, and a faint red light appeared in his hand. I saw his hands dancing rapidly, pushing forward violently, and a pale red dragon roared towards Jiang Yun with bursts of angry roars.
At this time, Jiang Yun had already grasped the cold jade flute in his hand, and he just wanted to put the jade flute to his mouth to play, only to feel a sound of breaking the sky behind him, and a long sword with a flash of cold light stabbed towards Jiang Yun's back.
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Yun's face, a blue light flashed under his feet, and his body turned into an afterimage and disappeared from Zhang Wei's sight.
Still in shock, Zhang Wei suddenly felt a pain in his chest, a cyan long sword passed through his chest, he looked back, and saw Jiang Yun looking at him indifferently.
After eliminating Zhang Wei, Jiang Yun didn't make a move immediately, he stared coldly at the "coachman", if Jiang Yun hadn't been on guard, he would have been poisoned tonight.
