Across the Market

Chapter 128

Zhu Fu didn't answer Xie Tong's question directly, but said: "This is an inn. Most of the people who come in are staying there, and there are very few people eating. The inn originally makes money by providing accommodation, so it is inevitable that it will be less thoughtful in terms of food and drink." , I just saw Mr. Xie’s house is simple, but clean, so I think it’s not bad.”

"Then if Ms. Zhu runs this inn, what will she do?" Xie Tong stretched out his hand and ordered around the inn, "Not to mention board and lodging."

Zhu Fuwang didn't even glance, and replied directly: "If I were in the service industry, first of all, I would not choose to be here, and secondly, the indoor environment would not be designed like this. And then..." She thought for a while, and felt that There was no need for me to say so much to a stranger, so I shook my head and stopped talking.

Xie Tong glanced at her and said nothing.

After a while, the coachman was waiting at the door with his carriage.

This inn is not far from Zhu's house, but Zhu Fu felt that the time passed too slowly. She quietly opened a corner of the curtain on the side of the carriage, trying to get some air, but saw a person carrying a lantern not far away. come over.

Although it was a little far away, Zhu Fu still recognized that person, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Shen." Zhu Fu called to that person, waved at her again, and then sat down and said to Xie Tongdao, "Young Master Xie, you don't have to send me back, someone is here to pick me up."

Xie Tong lifted a corner of the curtain, saw the tall and tall man standing in the night, and immediately asked the driver to stop the carriage.

Zhu Fu jumped down, and Xie Tong also got off the carriage.

When Shen Yulou saw Zhu Fu, his face showed joy. When he saw Xie Tong again, he showed a trace of surprise on his face, but it was only a flash in the end. Then he thanked Xie Tong, and looked down to see that Zhu Fu was dressed a little thinly. , he gently grabbed her hand and put it in his palm to cover her.

At this moment, Zhu Fu only felt that his heart was very warm, but he let Shen Yulou hold his hand and did not withdraw it.

Xie Tong's eyes lightly fell on the tightly clenched hands of the two of them, he didn't speak, he just nodded slightly towards Shen Yulou, and he didn't turn back until he saw that the two had disappeared into the night.

In the middle of the night, Xie Tong was still writing at his desk. The kerosene lamp left on the desk was about to be burned out. He raised his eyes and looked out of the window. Just as he was about to put down his pen, an arrow shot out of the window.

The arrow was shot steadily on the wooden pillar in the room, and a piece of white paper was nailed to the arrow.

Xie Tong walked over steadily, pulled out the arrow gently, unfolded the white paper and glanced at it.

The night was dark, and the entire Songyang County was quiet and peaceful, except for a little starlight in a thatched cottage in the west of the city.Wei Ming was sitting on one side of the table. There were a few simple stir-fried vegetables on the table, and a wine jar was upside down at the corner of the table next to it.He was a little dizzy from drinking, as if he heard movement outside, struggling to get up to look, but before he could open his eyes, he heard someone calling his name.

Not calling him Wei Ming, but the name he no longer uses.

Wei Ming sobered up all of a sudden, he tried his best to open his eyes and looked at the man in black clothes standing in front of him, and he fell to the ground.

"I know, I just knew, you guys will find me sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect you to find out my whereabouts so soon." Wei Ming sat up on the legs of the bed, the panic just now was gone, and the expression on his face With a look of resignation, he sighed softly and said, "Forget it, since my fate is like this, Mr. Xie will escort me back to the capital."
