Chapter 274: Fulong Inn
"Big brother!"
Liu Yahang, a young man in Jinyi, jumped down from the carriage and ran happily towards Ye Xing. Liu Nuoning and the middle-aged woman Qing Aunt followed behind the young man in Jinyi and also walked over.
"Well, let's go!" Ye Xing said with a slight smile.
Immediately, a group of people walked towards the city gate, preparing to enter the city.
There were a total of thirteen states in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhongyun Prefecture was one of them, adjacent to Chiyang Prefecture.
Zhongyun City is the main city of Zhongyun State. The city is extremely prosperous, with carriages and pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream.
"Here are the meat buns. Freshly baked meat buns cost only one penny each."
"Girl, this is all the best rouge and gouache..."
"This mask is so fun, how can I sell it?"
"Hey, boss, what are you selling?"
"Hehe, you haven't seen it before, right? This one is called Pa Mu Pi San, and you can listen to a lot of nice music. It came from Chiyang Prefecture, and it's very expensive."
"Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick, sweet and delicious candied haws on a stick, come and buy it!"
"If you pass by, don't miss it. The fur of the fourth-level monster Zi Fei Fox is intact..."
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, and there are shouts and bargaining sounds one after another.
It was already evening, and the setting sun hung in the sky, dyeing the fire clouds on the horizon red. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the streets and roofs, coating the pedestrians and tiles with a gorgeous golden light.
"Mr. Ye, Miss, it's getting late now. We have to find an inn first and then set off tomorrow." Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, said.
"Well, then let's find an inn." Ye Xing nodded.
"Hey, big brother, sister, look, there happens to be an inn over there, it's called Fu Inn. Sister, how do you pronounce that word?" The young man in Jinyi asked, pointing to the inn in front of him.
"That character is pronounced 'Long', which means prosperous long!" Liu Nuoning said with a slight smile.
"Oh, it turns out that the word "Long" is written like that." The young boy in Jinyi gestured with his fingers in the air, practicing how to write the word "Long" as he walked, "Fulong Inn!"
The group of four people immediately walked towards the nearest Fulong Inn.
There are square tables on the first floor of the inn. Many people gather around the wooden tables in twos and threes to eat wine, drink meat, and chat.
Ye Xing and Liu Nuoning randomly found an empty table and sat down, ordering some food to prepare for dinner.
The food served at this inn was very fast. After a while, the waiter came over with a wooden plate.
"Sir, your food is here, please use it slowly!" The waiter brought bowls of food on wooden plates to the table, and then left with the wooden plates.
"Haha, let's eat, let's eat, I'm so hungry." The young boy in Jinyi picked up his chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables.
"Wait!" Ye Xing suddenly stopped the young man in brocade clothes, looked at the plate of dishes, frowned, and said to Liu Nuoning: "Miss Nuoning, let me borrow your silver hairpin."
"My silver hairpin?" Liu Nuoning's beautiful eyes were puzzled. She didn't realize what Ye Xing wanted to do for a while, but she still took the silver hairpin from her hairpin and handed it to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing took Liu Nuoning's silver hairpin and fiddled with it a few times in the food.
Soon, I saw that the silver-white silver hairpin quickly turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Sure enough, it's poisonous!" Ye Xing said lightly. Ye Xing has long memorized the "Five Poison Heart Sutra" of the Five Poison Sect. In terms of using poisons, Ye Xing can be regarded as a master. But the other party's poisoning techniques are not very good.
Even though he was clever, he might be able to deceive many people, but he couldn't deceive Ye Xing's eyes. Just now, Ye Xing felt that there was something wrong with the food just at a glance.
"Poison." "Poison!"
"Food...why is the food poisonous?"
Liu Nuoning and the young boy in brocade clothes were all frightened for a moment, with frightened eyes. The middle-aged woman Qing Aunt's face changed drastically, her expression was wary, and she looked around.
"Miss Nuo Ning, have you offended someone? The other party wants to poison you until you die." Ye Xing said: "Although the method of poisoning is not very clever, the poison is very violent. You only need to take a small bite to kill you."
Put people to death.”
"Offend others? No, we have always behaved ourselves in the town and have never provoked others." Liu Nuoning's face turned pale and she murmured: "Madam? Aunt Qing, could it be Madam who wants to kill us?"
"Haha, miss, you are worrying too much." The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed, she put away the worry in her eyes, and quickly comforted: "We just have conflicts with the eldest lady, she doesn't have to kill us."
While everyone here was talking, the waiter from the inn over there quickly ran over.
"Sir, why don't you eat? What happened?" asked the waiter at the inn.
"This food is poisonous, how do you want us to eat it?" the young man in Jinyi said angrily.
"Oh? Really!" A mysterious cold light flashed in the eyes of the waiter at the inn. He quickly took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the young man in brocade into the heart.
The cold light of the dagger was brilliant and extremely sharp. The little boy's face turned pale with fright, and his big black eyes were full of fear.
"court death!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Ye Xing next to him, and with a 'clang' sound, the green-edged sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed, with a flash of green light, he slashed past as fast as the wind.
"Pfft!"
There was a scream, and a large amount of bright red blood spattered out. The waiter's entire arm was cut off by Ye Xing, including the dagger.
"Ah, kill someone!"
This sudden change frightened the surrounding guests, and they all fled the inn in horror.
Liu Nuoning and her younger brother Liu Yahang's faces were even more pale. The middle-aged woman Qing Auntie's eyes were solemn and she stayed close to the two siblings.
At this moment, the waiter in the shop was covering his broken arm with one hand and screaming, his face distorted and in great pain.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
Ye Xing looked indifferently, stepped on the chest of the waiter, and asked.
"I didn't expect that there is another master, I'm worried that I got caught up in it. Hehe, these two little bastards will definitely die." The pale face of the waiter in the shop smiled sinisterly, his mouth moved slightly, and a trace of black poisonous blood came from the corner of his mouth.
It overflowed. But he bit the poison sac between his teeth and committed suicide.
In fact, there is no need to ask, Ye Xing can probably guess who sent it. Based on what the little guy said before, it can be basically concluded that it was sent by the eldest lady Dong, who obviously wanted to wait until the siblings arrived at Jinlin.
Kill him before he reaches the Imperial City. After all, Liu Yahang is the first heir to the Liu family. If he successfully reaches the Golden Scale Imperial City, it may cause her a lot of trouble.
This Fulong Inn is just an ordinary inn, and most of the people who come here for food and accommodation are ordinary people. After this sudden assassination incident, many guests were scared away.
The body of the famous waiter lay on the ground, with bright red blood trickling down. There were half-eaten meals on the wooden tables, and they were still steaming hot, but the customers were gone.
Only the innkeeper was hiding under the table in fear and trembling. He was glanced at by Ye Xing's cold gaze, and he trembled and said tremblingly: "Guests, heroes! This... this
It's none of my business. I just recruited this waiter recently. I...I didn't know he was an assassin. Please forgive me, sir. Please forgive me..."
"Why are you panicking? I didn't say I wanted to kill you." Ye Xing said calmly: "You have a room here. Go and arrange two guest rooms for me."
"Yes, yes, I will arrange it right now." The innkeeper nodded quickly.
On the side, Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, glanced at Ye Xing and said hurriedly: "Mr. Ye, we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. We don't know how many people there are. I'm afraid this inn is not safe. Let's stay at Fengyun Inn."
Fengyun Inn is the number one inn in the Wulin Continent. Its power spreads across hundreds of countries and countless cities in the Wulin Continent. It is extremely powerful. Few people dare to cause trouble and kill people in Fengyun Inn. But this Fulong Inn is just a very ordinary hotel.
small inn, before
It was because it was close here and I didn't know there would be any danger, so I randomly found this inn to stay. Now that I was being assassinated one after another, the middle-aged woman Qing Aunt was also very panicked and immediately suggested that she go to the city to look for Xia Fengyun.
It would be safer to stay in an inn.
"No need to bother! Just live here." Ye Xing said lightly.
"But -" Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, couldn't help but become anxious.
"Don't worry, since I agreed, I will definitely protect the safety of their siblings." Ye Xing said: "If anyone wants to harm you, I will kill one of them, and I will kill both of them!"
