The old shopkeeper wanted to rub the girl's head, but he noticed that his palm was dusty. In the end, he gave up the idea and just held the girl's hand, looking left and right:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"No, I'm not that fragile, Dad."

Although Xiao Yun'er's arms were as slender as newborn willow branches, she still used them to make a strong gesture.

With Xiao Yuner's help.

The shopkeeper quickly reclaimed the small piece of farmland in his backyard.

It's noon now.

Before doing it instead.

This should be the busiest time for the kitchen.

But now it’s so boring that I don’t even have to keep the stove on for long.

The few tables of guests only came to eat some beef and drink some rice wine, so Xiao Yun'er had even less time.

"Boss, give me two ounces of beef and a pot of wine."

A female voice sounded.

Xiao Yuner raised her head slightly, and just when she was thinking whether she could get busy for a while, she quickly put her head down again.

"Hello, sir!"

Because Daddy has already gone over with the things.

It's really quiet now.

So Xiao Yuner picked up a wooden stick and squatted by the small pond in the backyard, gently shaking the calm water surface.

She raised her head and looked at the mountains not far away.

Her pouting mouth, like that of a little goldfish, highlights the disappointment in her eyes.

"Brother Lin, why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

The soft whispers merged into a sadness that only the girl herself understood.

She turned around and saw a set of blue shirt hanging in the boudoir facing the pond.

It is exactly the same as the one Xiao Yuner gave to Lin Li.

"Maybe I'm too busy."

The girl was half squatting, poking the water surface with the wooden stick in her hand.

Although I can say words of self-comfort, I can't hide my emotions.

Look at the little fish in the pond, they are all in pairs.

Xiao Yuner felt inexplicably aggrieved and wanted to cry.

This inn is far away from the hustle and bustle, and there are almost no households around it.

There is no mother, and father has to run the inn.

From childhood to adulthood, it has always been her brother Lin who has taken care of her.

Even though it's never been said explicitly.

But that young man in blue is indeed the whole world in Xiao Yuner’s interpersonal relationships.

Except for the last time when Lin Li ran over in a hurry.

Xiao Yun'er hasn't seen Lin Li for almost ten days.

This has long broken the longest record in the girl's memory.

So even though Xiao Yuner kept telling her to be more mature and considerate, she still couldn't help but let her wild thoughts run wild.

"Why don't I sneak up the mountain and see what Brother Lin is doing..."

But Brother Lin didn't seem happy to go up the mountain alone.

It is said that there are a lot of reptiles, birds and animals on that mountain.

But there is obviously no danger in this place.

And I have been a good boy for almost ten days.

It's time to get a little naughty!

That’s it!

Xiao Yuner threw the wooden stick into the pond, stood up and was about to slip out through the back door when she heard the sound of broken ceramics suddenly coming from inside the inn.

Bang!

What followed was a series of noise.

Xiao Yun'er's eyes suddenly widened, and the thought of looking for her brother was instantly thrown out of her mind.

She ran to the hall, thinking only about what had happened in the inn.

……

"Hey, shopkeeper, is this the amount of business you usually have?"

The woman with her face covered with a veil was fiddling with the beef that had just been served on the table, and she called out to the shopkeeper who was about to go back and continue fiddling with the wooden box.

The latter showed a very simple smile and said:

"Just recently, business was pretty good before."

The woman nodded thoughtfully, without disturbing the shopkeeper, and lowered her head to drink.

But the wine glass has just been picked up.

The side door was kicked open by an armored horse.

Amid the sound of heavy footsteps.

A general in black armor walked slowly into the hall. He glanced at everyone present with cold eyes and said in a cold voice:

"A few days ago, a woman here went to the market in town and bought a lot of cloth. Where is that woman now?"

As he spoke, he clenched the halberd in his hand, ready to attack and kill at any time.

Behind the tall and strong visitor in black armor, there was a fully armed team.

However, the team of seven or eight people was like a dark cloud.

The shopkeeper had seen many horse thieves and bandits, but he had never seen such murderous soldiers. He was so scared that he was speechless.

"Kill them all, search this place, and then burn it down!"

The general made a split-second decision with little patience.

The eyes hidden under the visor only took a quick glance and then he fixed his sight on the target. He changed his grip from holding the halberd to raising it and threw it at the old shopkeeper.

If the powerful and heavy iron weapon hits the target accurately, the old shopkeeper will not be able to survive.

Ding--

A close call.

The halberd weighing more than thirty pounds actually deviated in mid-air, brushed past the shopkeeper's body, and smashed heavily into the wine cabinet.

Most people would have been frightened silly and couldn't hear the crisp sound.

But a general who has experienced many battles cannot be unaware of this.

So he turned around and looked at the woman who was holding two pieces of beef:

"Taoist, are you going to make an enemy of the royal family?"

Done.

The soldiers who were on high alert also rushed in.

They surrounded the woman, and the only emotion was murderous.

"What I saw were just bandits, killing ordinary people. How can they be royal?"

The woman stood up slowly. She looked extremely fragile in front of the group of tall and strong soldiers.

But the moment she took off her veil, a surge of momentum suddenly surged, and for a moment, she was in no way inferior to the heavy cavalry on the battlefield.

"Chu Jiangli?"

The black-armored general's tone changed slightly.

"You recognize me. That makes it easy. You can go away and I'll pretend nothing happened. How about that?"

I was clearly just invited to go up the mountain to help Xiao Li.

Chu Jiangli never thought that he would meet the Youqi again at the foot of the mountain.

They are the best lackeys in the world as they only obey the royal orders.

The man in black armor did not respond, but silently grasped the long sword at his waist.

"If it's a ghost cavalry army, it might be a little harder to deal with, but eight people definitely can't beat me. Think it through."

Chu Jiangli raised his hand slightly.

"Who said there are only eight of us?"

The general sneered.

In an instant.

There was dust flying outside the door.

"General!"

A uniform war cry rang out from outside the door.

Chu Jiangli suddenly felt helpless and ridiculous.

I just said that a ghost cavalry army might cause trouble.

This guy actually presented a complete march.

This is really a difficult situation.

They can't keep themselves.

But at the same time, it would be extremely difficult for Chu Jiangli to keep this inn.

The deadlock persisted.

And when Chu Jiangli was thinking about how to break the deadlock.

"If there is no special incident, the government and the people will not interfere in the affairs of the underworld. This is a rule that was established a long time ago."

A faint smile suddenly came.

Chu Jiangli, who knew the owner of the voice, smiled and shook his head, then looked at the general whose atmosphere was becoming increasingly heavy, and said:

"My people are here to help me, are you really not going to leave?"

soon.

A young man in a wheelchair slowly leaned out from the back door of the inn:

"Aunt Chu, why do you always get into trouble wherever you go?"

For some reason, Lin Li, who came out from the kitchen, shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"Who told me that I'm pretty?"

35. Are they really that similar?

The ghost riders surrounded the inn.

In many cases in the past, this has meant immediate success.

No one can withstand the charge of the Ghost Cavalry.

But Lin Li was not afraid at all. He just put his hands on the wheel and looked at the commander who came here with a relaxed look.
