Xiao Chu lay on the bed and sighed, hoping that nothing would happen.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves resounded around the inn, with people's voices, horse neighing, and footsteps intertwined, mixed and noisy.
Xiao Chu was lying on the bed without any movement. It would be better not to act rashly before knowing the intention of the visitor.
Outside the inn, the person coming was a pair of officers and soldiers. The light of the torches flashed, reflecting on both sides of each person. This scene was a bit shocking.
The leader held his horse and looked at the inn in front of him, shouting: "Come on me."
The soldiers under his command responded in unison and instantly surrounded the entire inn.
"Master Commander, this is an inn, and it is an official inn. Even if the thief is brave, he may not dare to hide here."
The soldier commander shook his head and said, "It's important. Don't make any mistakes. If the thief is let go, we will move our heads and search for them!"
With the loud shout from the soldier commander, his soldiers quickly raised the torch and walked towards the inn carefully.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn was also awakened by the noisy sound outside, and quickly lit the oil lamp and panicked from the room to see what was going on.
"Dear soldiers, I wonder what happened? I'm sorry to come here in person." The shopkeeper saw that the person outside was actually a pair of officers and soldiers, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if he was not a bandit.
When the soldier commander saw the shopkeeper coming out, he raised his horse whip and shouted: "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
When the shopkeeper saw that the soldier commander had a bad tone, he quickly responded: "I am the shopkeeper here, Jun Ye, do you have any official duties?"
"Do you have a tall and thin person in blue clothes here? Or, have you seen this person pass by you?" The soldier commander asked the shopkeeper in a stern tone.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked thoughtful, then shook his head and said, "Report to Junjun, the villain has not seen it. As for me, it is impossible for me to have it. The small official here
The post and the idle people dare not come here to stay, so I would like to ask Jun Ye to take care of him."
The shopkeeper's face was full of a flattering smile. After speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the soldier commander.
The soldier commander took the small piece of broken silver in his hand and put it casually in his arms. His attitude was much more relaxed, saying, "Shopkeeper, are you sure there is really not?"
The shopkeeper nodded and continued, "I'm sure, Jun Ye, today all my inn come to the Chongming Mansion to participate in the poetry competition, and then some people on the way. Where can I have idle people?
”
The soldier leader thought for a while and wanted to turn the horse's head, but he stopped halfway and said, "Shopkeeper, it's important, I'll do some searching."
Then the soldier commander waved his hand and ordered: "Brothers, search for me! Be careful when searching, don't scare the students who are resting."
After the words came, all the soldiers were taken forward to conduct a search.
However, although the soldier commanded not to disturb the students who were resting, if they were not disturbed, how should they search?
Besides, everyone had already woken up with such a big noise outside the house. Seeing a group of soldiers moving wildly, they opened the door one by one to check, how could they sleep?
However, the group of soldiers did not rude to the students who were staying in the search.
In fact, in Daxia, this is an unwritten rule. As long as you are a scholar, you will be treated by some people wherever you go. Usually, no one is willing to make enemies with scholars, or even thieves who robbed their families.
, a scholar who will not be robbed and rush to the road.
After all, they don’t know which scholar will be in high school. If they make a grudge with them, it means that the scholars will be revenge after they become successful. As for the bandits, they do not rob the scholars. In addition to being afraid of revenge, there is another reason. You must know,
Since ancient times, studying has been a hard time. Not only did they not rob much money, they also had to take such a big risk, so naturally they would not do such stupid things.
Xiao Chu and Xiao Changan also walked out of the room and gave the room to them and others to search.
The entire search process lasted about a cup of tea before it was completed, but nothing unusual was found.
"Report to the commander, the brothers have searched all of them, and there is no one here."
Hearing this, the soldier commander nodded, then turned his head and shouted: "We will continue to chase forward and will surely capture the thief!"
"yes!"
After the words came, a noisy sound of riding a horse sounded. Under the leadership of the commander, a group of soldiers rushed to the distance, leaving only a little fire surging, and finally disappeared.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, and looking at the slowly disappearing torch, everyone in the inn breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was just studying hard on the books of sages, and they had never experienced this, and their good dreams were disturbed, and they immediately complained.
The shopkeeper turned around, looked at everyone, and said apologetically: "Everyone, I'm really embarrassed. I didn't expect this to happen. Let's do this, and everyone will be exempted from the tea and money tomorrow."
Everyone sighed and ignored the shopkeeper's words. After all, how much money can tea be? It's more practical to take the time to have a good night's sleep.
When Xiao Chu heard this, he smiled and thought to himself that the boss was also very stingy.
Mr. Ye Jinyu raised his head, glanced at the students, then raised his tone and said, "Everyone hurry up and go back to the room to rest. We will have to hurry up tomorrow, so everyone should hurry up and make up for their energy."
He chuckled in his heart, and looked at the direction where the soldier disappeared again. Even though he had excellent eyesight, he didn't see anything.
Xiao Chu sighed in his heart, feeling a little regretful and said to himself: It would be better if this golden finger had some night vision function.
Xiao Chu was helpless and laughed at himself, while also feeling embarrassed for his somewhat crappy golden fingers.
Then Xiao Chu did not delay and turned around and returned to the room.
One night passed quietly, and the pair of soldiers did not return, so everyone could only sleep for half a night, but if they looked closely, they could clearly see that everyone's eyebrows were hung under their eyebrows.
Focus on heavy dark circles.
After getting on the carriage, everyone marched towards Huaiyuan Provincial Capital again.
Despite the bumpy road, there were still people preparing to take a nap on the carriage. After all, the feeling of lack of energy was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
This time, Lu Yu and Xiao Chu on the carriage were very quiet, no longer the quarrels before, because Xiao Chu and Xiao Chu fell asleep in Xiao Chang'an's arms, and the slight snoring sounded in the carriage.
rise.
Lu Yu glanced at Xiao Chu who was sleeping in a deep mood and murmured: "I slept like a dead pig."
