Chapter 6: The Secret of Joy for a Girl Wandering in a Strange Cave (40)
Li Shulan motioned for Ao Lei to go to the inner room for time to take refuge, and Ao Lei understood and walked into the inner room.
Li Shulan opened the door, standing at the door was a guy from the inn, Li Shulan asked, "Little Er, do you have something wrong?"
"Li Gongzi, there is a young girl waiting in the hall downstairs, saying that she wants to see Mr. Lei for something, and she asks Mr. Lei to go down to see her as soon as possible. The shopkeeper said.
"What are you talking about, looking for Mr. Lei, are you looking for the wrong one?" Li Shulan thought that the shopkeeper had made a mistake.
"Li Gongzi, the guest downstairs is looking for me, please tell her the shopkeeper, I will go down soon!" Ao Lei's voice suddenly came from inside.
Li Shulan was stunned at first, but soon she understood that it was someone from the "Tianzhu Sect" who came to find Aolei.
"Okay, Xiao Er, you go down and tell that girl that Mr. Lei will be here soon, please wait!" Li Shulan said.
Xiao Er turned around and went downstairs after answering.
Li Shulan closed the door, and Ao Lei walked out of the room.
"Sister Aolei, how did you become 'Mr. Lei', were the people in the hall downstairs sent by Sect Master He to find you?" asked Li Shulan.
"It wasn't sent by Sect Master He, but Ao Lei asked them to come here to find me when they were in a hurry, and before I came, I asked them to say that they wanted to find 'Mr. Lei', so as soon as Xiao Er said, Ao Lei knew that it was my people waiting downstairs, and I was afraid that they had come to report something urgent!" Ao Lei said.
"So that's the case, it's good, Shulan disguised herself as a man and became 'Li Gongzi', and Sister Ao Lei became 'Mr. Lei', and we became 'brothers', great, 'Mr. Lei', please sit down and talk!"
Li Shulan said with a smile.
"Hehe, after you reminded me like this, it's really interesting, the two of us have become chic men, but. Ao Lei just said a name instead, but Sister Shulan is wearing a man's clothes, you are more like a dashing son, sister reminds you, don't let Brother Murong not recognize you!" Ao Lei said.
"How could it be? Brother Murong is here, Shulan will wear very beautiful women's clothes. Besides, he can recognize it by looking at a figure and listening to a voice, he won't be so stupid. Li Shulan said a little shyly.
"It seems that you and Brother Murong have a tacit understanding, how can you not recognize it, what a happy pair of handsome men and beautiful women!" Ao Lei said.
"Sister Aolei, go down to see your girl first, she's in the hall downstairs. I'm afraid I'm already waiting. Li Shulan said.
"Well, you wait for me here, I'll come back in a moment, maybe there's news about you, you should find out. Ao Lei said.
"Okay, Shulan is here to wait for her sister to come back. Li Shulan said.
Ori went downstairs.
Half an hour later, Ao Lei returned to the VIP room, and Ao Lei said, "Let Miss Shulan wait for a long time!"
"Sister Aolei is welcome. Did you get the news from that girl? Is it good news?" asked Li Shulan.
"Not good news, but not very bad news either. The one who came to the hall downstairs to find Ao Lei was an informant from the 'Tianzhu Sect', and he sent two important news, the first news was that a group of people of unknown origin seemed to have known that you lived in this 'Wangliu Pavilion', and some of them were watching outside the 'Wangliu Pavilion', and some people had already gone back to report it, and it was very likely that they had come to trouble you. You are already in danger, the second news is that the Metropolitan Governor and the Police Department have sent three people to investigate the secrets of the Xie Mansion, and the whereabouts of some of the passers-by are not clear, and the middle one is headed for the Xie Mansion and the Wangfu. Sister Shulan, do you understand? Sure enough, as I expected. Someone has really found out that you live here, but the bad thing is that who has discovered your whereabouts? Will someone come to besiege you after you go back and report it? We don't know any of this, you are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, this is a great danger, it seems that you must leave the 'Wangliu Pavilion' immediately!"
Li Shulan thought for a while and said, "Sister Aolei, you go first, I'll wait here and see who is coming!"
"Isn't it self-defeating that someone is coming to trouble you and you stay?" said Aolei.
Li Shulan approached Ao Lei and whispered her thoughts in her ear, Ao Lei listened and said with some worry: "This is too risky, isn't it? Ao Lei said.
"The more dangerous it is, the safer it is, if you are taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, they must not have imagined that Shulan would do that, Shulan knows herself and knows her opponent, there will be no danger, please rest assured, sister!" Li Shulan said very confidently.
"Okay, since you insist on doing that, you must be sure, you do it according to your plan, Ao Lei will send someone over to take care of you outside the 'Wangliu Pavilion', if you encounter danger, tell the shopkeeper or the shopkeeper to find Mr. Lei, I will send someone to support you soon!" Ao Lei said.
"Thank you, Sister Aolei, don't worry, there will be no danger, you go first!" Li Shulan said.
"Take care, remember to contact if you have something urgent, and remember the 'Mingli Pavilion' at the foot of Jingyuan Mountain!" Ao Lei reminded Li Shulan.
"Remember, you wait patiently for news, Shulan will not let you down!" Li Shulan said.
Ao Lei went down the stairs, Li Shulan looked at her back, and after she couldn't see Ao Lei's figure, she closed the door of the VIP room, and thought to herself: "Sister Ao Lei is a very outstanding woman, it's just that she has been snuggling up to Sect Master He, it's a pity, if she can be with a handsome and dashing knight, it would be great!"
At this time, it was very quiet in the VIP room, only Li Shulan was thinking alone, she thought: "The uninvited guest may be coming, the good ones don't come, the people who come are not good, I can find out that I live here, I must not be an ordinary person, I must be vigilant, I can't make mistakes, I have to prepare as soon as possible." ”
Li Shulan brought the shopkeeper to the second and let him enter the VIP room, after she closed the door, she took out a tael of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to take it, he felt that one or two silvers were too much, and he didn't know what "Li Gongzi" wanted him to do.
"Take, as long as you help me do two little things, you have been very thoughtful in the past few days, this silver is a reward for you, tomorrow morning, there will be a strong man in his 30s, pulling a rickshaw to the door of the 'Wangliu Pavilion' waiting, the man's surname is Xiao, you tell her, 'Li Gongzi' suddenly has an emergency, there is no way to go with him to visit, you let him tell you the address." Saying that I will look for your address, and then I will go to him, this is the first thing, and the second thing is, if this son is not in this VIP room for a while, if someone comes to me, you tell them the room number. Let them come up, I'll leave the door open, let them rest here, you don't have to say anything else to them, if they ask you about this son, you don't know, understand?" Li Shulan said.
"Don't worry, Li Gongzi, the little one will definitely do what you say, just. How can the little one tell you the address of the master Xiao who pulled the cart?" asked the shopkeeper.
"You don't need to look for Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi will come to you, you just need to remember Master Xiao's address, do you remember everything you said just now?" Li Shulan asked.
"Remember, Li Gongzi is very good to the little one, and the little one will definitely do his best to get things done for you, you don't have to worry about it at all!"
"Very well, Ben Gongzi believes in you. Go and get busy with you!" Li Shulan said.
The shopkeeper left, and Li Shulan closed the door. She walked into the room, the room was quiet, Li Shulan felt that she was going to leave here soon, the VIP room of this 'Wangliu Pavilion' left a good impression on her, and the shopkeeper and shopkeeper of the inn were very trustworthy. The secrecy was well done, the service was very attentive, and he believed that the people at the inn had not spread any news about her, and. She was wearing good makeup, but the news that she was living here was still known to outsiders, and that Aolei was able to find her, and that someone would soon find her, showed that it was very difficult for her actions to be completely secret.
Li Shulan decided to start taking action to deal with the uninvited guests who were about to come to the door to "visit".
After more than an hour, the shopkeeper was busy greeting guests in the hall on the first floor, at this time, two middle-aged men, a fat and a thin, walked in from outside the door, and the shopkeeper greeted him and asked politely: "Two distinguished guest officers, are you here to stay in the hotel? How about recommending a VIP room for you?"
The thin middle-aged man whispered to the shopkeeper: "Little Er, you come with me, my grandfather has something to ask you!"
The chubby middle-aged man glared at the shopkeeper with vicious eyes, and the shopkeeper looked at him with a fierce look, as if he heard him say: "If you kid is disobedient, I will kill you immediately!"
The shopkeeper had no choice but to follow the two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, to a corner of the hall.
"Little Er, if you answer honestly, you will be rewarded, and if you don't answer honestly, this brother will take you to the king of Yama to report at night!"
"This ...... I have something to say, don't force the little one so much, the little one is very scared, what do you want to ask, the little one knows everything...... I'll tell you everything!" said the shopkeeper in a trembling voice with a very frightened look, and after speaking, he quietly glanced at the thin man.
"Is there a young and dashing man living in the 'Wangliu Pavilion', who is very delicate, and has lived here for three or four days, and every day he goes out early and returns late, and a burly man comes to pull a cart to pick him up?" asked the thin man majestically.
"You're talking about 'Li Gongzi', I've been living in this shop for four days, he looks very handsome, like a beauty, but he is more free and easy than a beauty, every morning, there is a sturdy master who will pull a cart to wait for him, and then pull him away, and come back in the evening. The shopkeeper said.
"It should be him, which one does he live in?" the thin man continued to ask sternly.
"This guest officer, please forgive me! The inn has the rules of the inn, about the room where the guest stays, the little two can't say it to the stranger guest, forgive the little rudeness, can't tell you! Otherwise, the shopkeeper will not spare the small one. The shopkeeper said.
"Don't you say yes, then you have to see what this brother of Ben Ye has to do to you!" said the thin man in a strange manner.
As soon as the fat man heard what the thin man said, he immediately stretched out his right hand behind the shopkeeper and grabbed the two ribs of the shopkeeper with his five fingers, the shopkeeper was in unbearable pain, but he didn't dare to scream, for fear that the fat man would tear off his ribs.
"This ...... This lord, let it go...... Let go, the little one tells you that it is, let it go...... Let go!" "The shopkeeper was really scared this time.
"Tell me, if you make up a lie, there will be stewed ribs at this inn at night!" said the thin man.
"Then Li Gongzi lives in a VIP room on the second floor, two hours ago, he was still inside, maybe he is still there now!" said the shopkeeper.
"Okay, very good, you lead us there, but if that Li Gongzi is here, you should be careful when you speak, if you say it wrong, your little life will only live until tonight!" said the thin man.
"The little one understands, the little one says it's all true, and the little one will take you there!" said the shopkeeper with trepidation.
"Let's go!" the fat man pushed the shopkeeper to look up the stairs.
Walking up to the second floor, I arrived at the door of the innermost VIP room, only to see that the door was ajar, and it was quiet inside.
"It's this VIP room, and Li Gongzi lives in it!" said the shopkeeper.
"You call him, say that there is a customer coming, be polite!" the thin man said softly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper listened, nodded, and he politely shouted into the VIP room: "Li Gongzi, there is a distinguished guest looking for you!"
There was no one in there to answer.
"Keep calling, boy!" said the thin man in a soft and majestic voice.
"Gongzi Li, there are two distinguished guests who want to visit you, are you inside?" the shopkeeper shouted in a loud voice.
At this time, the door was all opened, and a guy walked out of it, holding a cloth for wiping tables and chairs in his hand, and said to the shopkeeper: "Brother, don't shout, Li Gongzi went out an hour ago, he asked the little one to help him clean the VIP room, saying that there may be a distinguished guest to visit, please have a distinguished guest to drink tea here, he will come back after a while, are these two distinguished guests?"
The shopkeeper looked at the guy standing at the entrance after opening the door, he was stunned at first, but after a closer look, he understood in his heart, and he responded in a little panic: "Yes, yes, this...... These two are distinguished guests, who came to visit Li Gongzi, and saw Li Gongzi before, but unfortunately they are leaving now, since Li Gongzi has orders, good brother, you come to entertain these two distinguished guests!"
"Two distinguished guests, please sit down, the younger one goes to wash his hands, and immediately makes tea for the distinguished guests!" said the fellow very warmly.
The thin man said to the fat man, "Brother, let's go in and have a look, and ask that guy, where did 'Li Gongzi' go!"
The fat man let go of the hand that was holding the shopkeeper and nodded to the thin man.
"Two guest officers, the little one has said everything that should be said, and everything that should be done has been done, you can go first, if the shopkeeper can't find the small one, he will eat the small one!" the shopkeeper requested.
The thin man pondered for a moment, and he felt that if the shopkeeper couldn't find the shopkeeper, it would be inconvenient to find here. So, he said to the shopkeeper: "You can go downstairs first, but if we want to know something, we will ask you, don't leave the inn, otherwise, you know what the result will be!"
"Understood, the little one is gone, good brother, treat these two guest officers well, they are good friends of Li Gongzi, brother, I will say goodbye first!" said the shopkeeper as he walked towards the stairs. (To be continued......)
