Chapter 84: Station
As soon as Yu Zhi stepped into the inn, something strange suddenly occurred in his heart.
He quickly covered up the strange look on his face and couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt that something was wrong about this place.
Yu Zhi stepped on the soil with his toes a few times and whispered: "Be careful, something is wrong here."
Ye Qinghuan nodded calmly and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Xiao Jingyao just said hello and did not come forward to greet him. This damn fate often arouses the other party's suspicion. Xiao Jingyao also knew that being too enthusiastic at this time would backfire on him.
A chance encounter or a nod of acquaintance is not considered acquaintance.
Yu Zhi and others walked into the lobby of the inn. It was clean, tidy, and even spotless.
Everything in the inn looked extremely clean, as if it had just been cleaned.
Soon, an old woman walked out from behind the counter. Her long, black and mottled hair was neatly combed on her head. Her rickety body seemed about to fall down at any moment.
"Young masters and ladies, there is only meager food in the mountains and fields."
The old woman put the stacks of food on the table and continued without squinting: "If this gentleman likes to drink, I have some home-brewed rice wine here. It's freezing out here, so drinking some can warm you up."
As soon as Lao Huang heard the wine, he instantly became energetic. He shook the empty wine gourd and said, "Wine, where is the wine? Give me a sip."
"I'm going to get it for you right now." The old woman left tremblingly to get the drink.
Yu Zhi withdrew his gaze, but said solemnly: "Be careful tonight. Something is wrong here."
After entering the hall, Yu Zhi looked around, and he was even more convinced that there was something abnormal here.
After listening to Yu Zhi's words, the girl looked around nervously, leaned towards Li Wantong, and held Li Wantong's hand tightly.
The other people also looked around.
"If something is wrong, why do we still stay here?" the girl asked, "otherwise we should leave quickly!"
Yu Zhi said with a smile: "Since something is wrong, you have to find out what is wrong. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you. You can't be stared at all the way and make yourself scared."
As soon as Yu Zhi walked into the inn, he found that the soil in front of the door was a little fresh, having just been dug out from underneath. Although it was covered with a layer of old soil and a layer of snow, it was extremely soft. The most crowded place should have been in front of the inn door.
Where you enter and exit, the soil on the ground has been trampled countless times, so it should be more solid.
It's okay, what are you doing to renovate the dirt on the ground in a snowy day?
This little anomaly may be due to over-knowledge.
After entering the hall, more small anomalies confirmed Yu Zhi's suspicion.
The neat table, the spotless beams, and even the door smell of the fresh smell of trees.
This inn looks simple and plain, but it is actually extremely ordinary.
And the strange thing is, how can there be such a neat inn in this wilderness? Is it possible that only an old woman can keep such a huge inn in order?
Whether Yu Zhi believes it or not, neither does anyone else.
Except for the girl, the others did not panic, but became more calm and calm. When walking in the rivers and lakes, they were afraid of accidents and attacks. Many masters died due to calculations and sneak attacks that were deliberate and unintentional.
Now that the other party has noticed something strange, the chance of a successful sneak attack has been reduced by half.
What surprised Yu Zhi was that Li Wantong didn't look panicked or surprised at all. Yu Zhi sighed in his heart, my Tong'er might have noticed it too. Alas, another missed opportunity to wipe... Bah, another missed opportunity to be a hero.
.
The old woman quickly fetched a pot of wine, and the spout was steaming. She must have heated the wine.
"Masters and ladies, the old lady has nothing to entertain you, so please use it slowly."
"The rooms upstairs are all empty. Young masters and ladies can stay wherever they like."
After saying that, the old woman left alone, probably to rest.
There was snow again outside the door, the wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were completely white, with no room for any other color.
In the hall, several people were sitting around the table, without taking a bite of the food on the table. Lao Huang looked at the pot of wine and touched his lees nose, as if he was addicted to alcohol.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest," Yu Zhi said.
"Tong'er, I will share a room with you tonight to protect your safety!"
Yu Zhitian shamelessly approached Li Wantong, as if he was doing it for Li Wantong's good.
The girl immediately stood in front of Li Wantong and shouted angrily: "Bah, you are such a scoundrel, you still want to take advantage of the young lady."
Immediately, the girl pushed Li Wantong to find a guest room downstairs.
"Tong'er, Tong'er." Yu Zhi stretched out his hands and shouted with a look of reluctance.
Li Wantong glanced at Yu Zhi unbearably, with a helpless expression. This guy was doing all these ridiculous things.
When Li Wantong and others entered the house, Yu Zhi secretly glanced outside the house and said calmly: "Old Huang, you go and guard Tong'er and the girl. Qing Huan and I will stay here. Something may happen tonight.
.”
"Master Xiao Yu, what about me?" Wang Dafu asked. He was the only one who was not assigned the task.
Yu Zhi looked at Wang Dafu, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Of course there is an important task for you?"
Wang Dafu suddenly felt excited, his smile looked malicious.
"No, no, no, with my old arms and legs, I'm afraid I can't bear the heavy responsibility!" Wang Dafu had already sensed the crisis and hurriedly begged for mercy. The implication was, I won't go, don't cheat me, Master, spare your life!
Yu Zhi also responded repeatedly: "No, no, no, I believe you!"
Immediately, Yu Zhi glanced at the guest room upstairs and whispered a few words in Wang Dafu's ear.
The guest room upstairs is where the four of Xiao Jingyao live.
After saying hello at the door of the inn, Xiao Jingyao never showed up again. This made Yu Zhi suspect that everything here had something to do with Xiao Jingyao.
...
In the guest room on the second floor, Wan'er was making tea for Xiao Jingyao.
After leaving Kyoto, Xiao Jingyao seemed to have changed into a different person. He didn't have to wear fine clothes, have fine food, or play the piano and drink tea. He was just a young man from a small family in Kyoto, traveling around and doing as the local customs do.
"Sir, tell me, did Yu Zhi notice anything strange here?" Wan'er asked.
Xiao Jingyao took a sip of tea and said, "If he can't find it, it means that Mrs. Qiu has misjudged the person."
"In case he really doesn't see it, should we remind him?"
Xiao Jingyao smiled and shook his head, "If he dies here, it means I have misjudged the person. The Great Chu Court does not need such useless people. Besides, hasn't he discovered it now?"
Xiao Jingyao looked at the flickering candlelight, and the firelight reflected on his face, revealing a proud look.
As Yu Zhi expected, Xiao Jingyao was indeed waiting for them, but everything here had nothing to do with Xiao Jingyao. He also wanted to see who was causing trouble here.
When Xiao Jingyao and others stepped into this place, he noticed something strange here.
The prince of Da Chu is not a drunkard, but a person who has an insight into the subtleties. Xiao Jingyao did not retreat. In his own words, if he really encountered an evil spirit on his way north, he should kill the traitors for Da Chu. If I, Xiao Jingyao, had turned a blind eye
, if you stay away from others, how can you expect others to see injustice on the road?
It has to be said that the integrity of Xiao Jingyao's thoughts and the grandness of his structure are by no means comparable to that of Yu Zhi.
