Chapter 186
"Yes, father!" The two young men answered and sat down beside He Gongfu.
These two people are handsome in appearance, they are really Jin Liu and Tourmaline dressed up as He Zuyan and He Zubo, but now they are not masters and servants, but brothers.
"Look, brother, there are quite a lot of people in this inn!" The one who spoke was Tourmaline, who was a few years older than Jin Liu, so she was naturally dressed as He Zuyan.
"Yeah, I didn't expect such a small inn to be so popular!" Jin Liu, dressed as He Zubo, looked around the lobby on the first floor of the inn and said.
"The two guest officers are right. There are indeed a lot of customers in this small shop today." The waiter took the key and came back just in time to hear what the two said, and said with a smile. "However, the small shop usually has a lot of customers. Please come here, and the small ones will take a few to the upstairs room."
He Nan nodded, exchanged glances with Jin Liu, helped He Gongfu up, and followed the waiter upstairs.
This inn has two floors, the first floor is the dining room, and the second floor is full of guest rooms. The waiter led the four people to the innermost part of the corridor before stopping. He opened the door with the key and let the four people go in and have a look. Seeing that they didn't show dissatisfaction, they said happily: "You guys rest first, the hot water will be brought up after a while, I wonder if the food will be placed below or brought up for you?"
"Send it up!" He Nan said, because they didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, they chose to appear in front of people as little as possible.
"Okay!" The waiter hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked out.
"Uncle, did you notice that the people who were dining in the hall just now were suspicious?" Jin Liu said to He Nan as soon as the waiter left.
He Nan also noticed it, nodded and said: "The closer you are to the capital, the more dangerous it is. We don't know who they are yet, so we'd better be careful."
"If that's the case, wouldn't this shop be in collusion with them, too?" Tourmaline said cautiously.
"I can't say for sure, or when the food arrives later, we don't want to eat it, let's just eat some dry food brought on the road!" He Nan frowned and said, turning to look at He Gongfu respectfully, "I'm afraid I will wrong my father today!"
"Whatever you are talking about, when you are away from home, you can do whatever you want, and it is not unusual now, this old man still understands the truth!" He Gongfu said.
Although they didn't encounter any danger along the way, they didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, they were not guarding against ordinary people. One was the emperor, the master of the world, and the other was Prince Duan, a member of the royal family with great power. Not to be dealt with.
"Guest officer, my servant has brought you hot water!" Just as he was speaking, a little woman's voice came from outside, and as soon as he got the consent of the person inside, he opened the door and walked in.
The door opened in response, and a young woman in her twenties, with a charming figure, a good face, and a pretty dress came in. This little woman looked weak, but she was not weak. A copper pot filled with hot water, with a relaxed look, said hello to the four people in the room, and asked with a smile where to put the water.
"Put one pot here, another pot in the next room, and the food will be delivered to this room in a while!" Although it was a delicate little woman who came in, He Nan, who was used to traveling around, did not relax her vigilance and said. .
"Yes!" The little woman agreed with a smile, put down a copper pot and went to another room, Jin Liu rolled her eyes when she saw this, and followed her back to the room over there.
"Do you want the servants to provide water for the young masters?" The little woman put down the copper pot and heard footsteps behind her, she turned around with a smile and looked at Jin Liu and Tourmaline who had just entered the door and asked.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jin Liu was about to say a few words to her, but when she saw this, she hurriedly thanked her with a smile, seeing her hands and feet diligently pouring hot water into the copper basin, she didn't care about the steam hitting her face, She smiled and asked, "Is this sister-in-law the proprietress of the store?"
Different from big shops, in such a small shop, the shopkeeper and his wife also have to come out to help. The little woman in front of me is pretty and charming, and the clothes on her body are not what ordinary women who have no money to go out to work can afford. Diligent, it can be seen that he is used to being a clerk, that's why Jin Liu asked this question.
"No!" The little woman put down the copper pot and went to pour cold water, "I work in the inn, and I have only been here for a while. If the man from the slave family is still there, there is no need for the slave family to come out to work like this. Although the slave family man I left some money, but my family was afraid of sitting on the mountain, so I came out to make a living!"
The words of the little woman explained very well why she had money to dress herself up, and why she had to come out to work, because her dead husband had left money for her, but she was afraid of sitting on nothing.
Jin Liu was not interested in this, but just wanted to open up the topic. Seeing that the woman had already poured the water, she hurriedly asked, seemingly unintentionally: "I saw that there are quite a few guests in the lobby of your inn, so the business of your inn must be certain. Not bad right!"
The little woman didn't urge them to wash up, but instead became interested in talking, she sat down opposite Jin Liu with her slender waist twisted, and said, "The business is good, it's just something that happened in the past two days, and all of a sudden there are so many The guests don’t know where they come from, and they don’t look like merchants. They only came on horseback but they didn’t have any goods.” He said in a mysterious way: “Since the two young masters asked, the servants Just to remind you two, when I came up to deliver water yesterday, I saw two guests who almost started to fight because it was suitable. Fortunately, they were stopped by their masters, but the slaves saw it for real. They have weapons, tsk tsk, the world is in chaos now, the two young masters don't mess with them, you are delicate skinned and tender, it would be bad if you get hurt!"
With weapons, or a gang?Jin Liu's heart arose, and seeing the little woman looking at her, she smiled indifferently, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me, but we are going to Beijing to join relatives, how dare we cause trouble on the road, Since my sister-in-law reminded me, we just need to be careful."
"That's great!" The little woman nodded coquettishly and said, "I just heard that the capital city is even more uneven!"
The little woman's casual words raised Jin Liu's heart even more, but the little woman didn't seem to want to continue, so she asked the two of them to wash up, and then got up and went out by herself.
"Miss, those two groups are not from the Emperor and Prince Duan, are they?" Tourmaline walked up to Jin Liu and asked in a low voice as soon as the door was closed.
Jin Liu raised her head and glanced at Tourmaline who was full of worry, but she was not sure. They didn't encounter anything along the way. They didn't expect that they were about to arrive in the capital, but something happened. Could it be that their going to Beijing was leaked?
Another point, since the two sides almost fought, it should be because they don't know the identity of the other party. If they are so careless, if they really fight, the leaders of both sides will reveal their identities even if they don't reveal their identities. No, No, they didn't fight after all, they just showed their weapons to make the opponent fearful.
For a moment, Jin Liu couldn't figure out what the origin of these two groups of people was, but she had a premonition that some of them must be targeting them. Based on this alone, they should be careful!
After washing up, Jin Liu told He Nan and He Gongfu about the call from the little woman, and they also became nervous, but the nervousness was the nervousness. Since they have already set their sights on them, even if they leave the inn now, It is also useless, the only plan for today is to stay the same and wait for tomorrow to make plans, but tonight, they will definitely do it, if they do it now on the road, they will not wait at the inn It's been so long.
Just after the sound of the ugly clock, when people were really sleeping most soundly, there was a sudden slight abnormal noise from the door of the room in the innermost corridor on the second floor of the inn, which did not attract the attention of other rooms, and the room dared not sleep with eyes closed Jin Liu suddenly opened his eyes, felt the tourmaline next to him move slightly, and hurriedly pressed her hand, signaling her not to move, while he watched intently and listened to the sound, and he really heard her put it on the ground at the door. Because of the creaking sound of the open door rubbing against the ground, she hastily pushed Tourmaline, signaling her to jump out of the window from the other side of the bed.
In order to take precautions, Jin Liu changed the position of the bed so that the back of the bed was facing the window at the back of the inn, and there was a torn bed sheet tightly tied to the foot of the bed hanging under the window.
Tourmaline was just hanging out of the window with the bed sheet pulled, the people outside seemed to have heard the commotion inside, and no longer cared about the sound of the copper basin, they pushed it away violently, seeing that Jin Liu had already climbed up the window, with a stride He rushed forward, split the gauze hanging on the bed with a sword, and stretched out his hand to grab Jin Liu, but when he was about to touch her, he suddenly let out a scream and retracted his hand again, Jin Liu looked at her. It was so true that the hand reaching out to her was hit by something flying outside the window, so she had to take it back, but she didn't have time to think about it at this time, grabbed the bed sheet under the window, turned over and jumped down, with her feet on her back. Stepping on the outer wall of the inn, he quickly climbed down along the sheets. When he was about to reach the ground, his body suddenly felt weightless, and he squatted down on the cold ground.
Although the place where she fell was not very high and the ground was covered with dirt, she still stared at Jin Liudun. She couldn't get up when she wanted to get up. Just when she saw that the person above was about to jump down and chase her, her wrist suddenly Being caught, she opened her mouth in fright and wanted to yell, but before she could make a sound, her mouth was covered, and the little woman who poured water for her before dinner appeared in front of her, didn't say anything, la followed her into the house.
As soon as Jin Liu entered the room, Tourmaline jumped up in panic and asked in a low voice, "Little...brother, are you alright?"
"It's okay, what about you?" The room was pitch black, and Jin Liu was still a little worried when she came in. Seeing that Tourmaline was here, she finally calmed down a little, and glanced at the little woman at the door, because she couldn't express her thanks, she could only lightly thank her. Lightly nodded.
The little woman didn't speak, she turned around and closed the door and went out. As soon as the door closed, the voice of her talking to someone came from outside. Hearing the noise, the person outside should be with the person who broke into Jinliu's room. Seeing the little woman The man pulled Jin Liu into the room, but he didn't know what the little woman did. The man didn't come in. After a while, there was the sound of fighting outside, and the shouts of other guests running for their lives. The outside suddenly became lively.
"Miss, are your grandpa and uncle alright?" Tourmaline asked tremblingly as she hugged Jin Liu's arm tightly.
"It's going to be okay, they're coming for me, I won't hurt them." Jin Liu patted Tourmaline's hand comfortingly and said, but his ears were paying attention to the movement outside.
Suddenly, the outside became quiet, and time passed slowly in such eerie silence. Jin Liu felt that it had been a long time, or maybe it was only a while, when the door suddenly opened, and a tall figure flashed in.
"Ah..." Tourmaline screamed in fright.
