Seeing a motorcade in the distance, the waiter quickly ran to the shopkeeper to report the news.
"It's so unbecoming to be so flustered. Just calm down for a while, just like you usually do, and don't let them see your flaws."
The shopkeeper sat calmly in front of the counter and said slowly, looking like an ordinary innkeeper.
The waiter couldn't help but admire the boss's calmness. He also suppressed the throbbing in his heart and tried to maintain a calm expression.
The motorcade in the distance is getting closer and closer. Under the setting sun, a carriage is coming from a distance. The carriage is pulled by two red-haired colts. Red-haired colts are not cheap and cannot be raised by ordinary people, but here they are used to pull the carriage.
, it can be seen that the people in the carriage definitely come from wealthy families.
The entire carriage is made of ebony wood. This kind of wood is both light and strong, and also very beautiful. A small piece can be sold for a sky-high price, but the entire carriage is made of it. Not to mention the inlaid inlays on the carriage.
The exquisite jades all reveal a luxurious atmosphere.
However, no matter how luxurious it is, it is only luxury in the eyes of ordinary people. These things are not worth mentioning to warriors. This is why the other party dares to ride such a luxurious carriage openly. Obviously, those who have the ability can rob it.
, look down upon these things. Those who value these things cannot afford to snatch them.
Because there were several horsemen around the carriage, guarding the carriage firmly in the middle. The people on the horses all had long swords at their waists, were dressed in fancy clothes, and scanned the surroundings with a pair of falcon-like eyes.
At the front is an old man. His face has a vicissitudes of life, and time has left indelible marks on his face.
At this time, I saw an inn ahead.
He slowed down his horse, fell behind, kept pace with the carriage, and walked towards the inside of the carriage:
"Miss, there is an inn ahead, let's rest there."
A clear and sweet voice came from the carriage, with some complaints.
"Uncle Liu, didn't I tell you everything? You just have to make the decision along the way. There is no need to ask for my opinion."
Liu Yongyi smiled bitterly. Although the young lady doesn't care about these red tapes, he has been a servant in the Wu family for his whole life. He still knows what to do and what not to do. The young lady may not care, but he must do it. This is a matter of attitude.
Now that he had received permission from Miss Wu, Liu Yongyi rushed to the inn with the first few riders.
As soon as he got off the horse, Liu Yongyi's loud voice rang out.
"Boss, do you have ten rooms?"
The shopkeeper greeted me with a smile on his face. "Yes, yes, of course."
"If you go to other inns, they may not have so many vacancies, but our inn doesn't have much else, it just has a lot of rooms."
"That's good. The other rooms don't matter, but there is one that is the best guest room here for me to use. It should be kept clean and there is no dust at all. It is for our young lady."
"Okay, sir, do you have any other instructions?"
The shopkeeper's smile became even wider.
"Furthermore, feed these horses well. They are all top-quality horses and use the best feed you have here."
While he was talking, the carriage had already caught up behind him. Liu Yongyi stopped talking nonsense with him and hurried to the carriage and helped a young girl out.
The girl had a delicate face and slender figure, and looked extremely fragile. When she saw this inn, she frowned slightly, making her particularly endearing.
Seeing her like this, Liu Yongyi was a little puzzled and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Ling shook his head and whispered: "I can't tell what's going on. I just have an uneasy feeling. I always feel that the inn is a little weird, but I can't tell what's wrong."
"Then we won't go to this inn." Liu Yongyi quickly suggested.
"Forget it, all this is just my feeling after all. We have been traveling for so many days, and you are all tired from traveling and traveling. It's time to take a rest. If you missed this one, I don't know where the next inn is." The girl Wu Ling shook her head and refused.
Soon, everyone in the Wu family checked into the inn.
In the room, Wu Ling was always restless, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She always felt that there was something strange about this inn from the inside out, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.
What exactly is wrong?
She suddenly thought, yes, it was quiet, everything was too quiet.
She suddenly realized that something was wrong. An ordinary inn, even if there were few people, should not be so quiet. For example, the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen and the shouts of the waiter were mixed together, making it very noisy.
But in this inn, everything was so quiet and silent. The dishes were served one after another, as if they had been prepared and waiting for them.
By the way, food!
She suddenly felt weak.
No, this food is poisonous!
Fortunately, she was prepared. She took out a pill from the Sumeru Ring and swallowed it. This was a genuine detoxification pill. Although it was only a first-grade pill, it was enough to detoxify some unsavory poisons.
As soon as the elixir entered her abdomen, it immediately turned into a stream of heat that flowed through her limbs and bones. As the heat flowed through, Wu Ling's weakness gradually disappeared. After a while, she finally regained some strength.
No, I must tell Uncle Liu now that there is something wrong with this inn.
Thinking of this, she quickly got up and ran out staggeringly.
Bang!
Just as she was about to open the door, the door was violently kicked open by someone from the outside.
"Miss Wu, where are you going?"
Outside, a group of people walked in and surrounded Wu Ling. The leader was the shopkeeper. Different from Wu Ling's earthy complexion, he still had a smiling expression.
In his hands, Liu Yongyi's body was limp, like a dead dog being carried by the shopkeeper's hand.
The other people in the convoy were also tied up tightly and piled aside.
"boom!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came.
Liu Yongyi, the shopkeeper, was still on the ground and spat: "At this level, if you dare to imitate others and walk around in the world, you will really live like a dog at your age."
Liu Yongyi was humiliated by him and his face turned red. It was indeed his negligence this time. Although the lady said something was wrong with the inn, he didn't actually take it to heart at the time. If she had been more cautious, this result might not have been the case.
"Who sent you here? It shouldn't be from the original shopkeeper here, right?"
Wu Ling looked directly at the shopkeeper, as if she wanted to see the answer from the other person's eyes. After the initial panic, she gradually calmed down. The other party had laid such a big plot, but did not kill him. It was obvious that he had a plan. She herself has nothing worthy of plotting, so everything is obvious.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper's words proved her suspicion.
"You should have guessed it, right? Besides the young master of the Wang family, who else has trouble with your Wu family?"
"As expected, it's him. He's really going to any lengths for Baiyang Order, and he's not afraid of others making them laugh."
Wu Ling sneered.
I've been busy with exams lately, so there may be less updates.
