After crossing the city pass, the customs clearance document that Yi Xiaotian bought from the officials at a huge price came in handy.
Not only did the soldiers guarding the city not search their bodies and luggage like ordinary people, but when they saw the three customs clearance documents in Yi Xiaotian's hand, they directly created a separate team for them.
The three of them entered the city smoothly without much hindrance.
As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted by the bustling streets. People are coming and going on the streets, and there are also many vendors shouting and selling. There are many people in luxurious clothes and graceful postures walking through them. Such a class scene.
It is quite rare to see such a blending and harmonious scene in such an era.
As if he already knew the nearby route, Yi Xiaotian led the two men and a horse around in the alley, and soon arrived in front of an inn.
"We will stay here temporarily today. Lingqi and Zilong, you two can take a tour around after you have packed up your room. I will go find someone to collect information. When I return to my room before dark, I will
I will inform you of everything I have collected."
After entering the store, Yi Xiaotian whispered to the store owner. This rather old inn seemed to have few customers, but when the store owner led everyone up to the third floor, they were in front of the three doors at the end of the corridor.
, several people stopped to watch.
"Hmm... turns out there is a mystery in this inn?"
"Haha, a few distinguished guests were joking. The small shops are doing some shady business, and they can only really open their doors once every month--"
The shop owner seemed quite sophisticated, with a smile on his face. He was harmless to humans and animals, but Zhao Yunduo was on guard.
"Zilong, there are shops like this all over Jiangdong. They maintain the minimum expenses on weekdays. The most important thing is to make profits by colluding with officials, selling information, and doing inconvenient things during the day, so...
…”
Yi Xiaotian pushed open the door of the room. As expected, it was completely different from the old outside. Behind the three inconspicuous doors in front of him, the interior was actually quite luxuriously decorated. At first glance, it looked like something only found in some Tianzihao inns.
Some top-notch rooms.
"When you spend money, you buy services. Of course...such living conditions are just a fraction of the money I spent this time. It can be regarded as a complimentary service."
Yi Xiaotian explained this, while the store owner also echoed:
"Not only that, during these two days, as long as your distinguished guests have any needs, whether it is food, travel or special services, the shop will be able to provide it to you within its capabilities, then..."
"I'll just take my leave now."
When it comes to special services, Zhao Yun's expression can't help but be a little weird - for a general like him who has stayed in the military camp for most of his life and concentrates on security and military affairs, he has no idea about the darkness hidden under the lake.
Really not comfortable with it.
But on the other hand, Lu Lingqi adapted quickly.
She has been following Yi Xiaotian for these years and is well-informed. She has already chosen a room and started packing her things.
But when Zhao Yun saw Lu Lingqi in the room excitedly pulling out daggers one after another from her waist, his body still trembled involuntarily.
Yi Xiaotian was about to leave, and when Zhao Yun saw this, he asked uneasily:
"Sir! No...don't you need me to follow you?"
"Zilong, just have a good rest. It is not very convenient for two people to gather information. It is an unwritten rule to go alone. If you feel bored staying in the room, go to the wooden box in the ceremony.
Grab some gold and silver and go around the streets - but be careful not to take it lightly. Although Qichun seems not as heavily guarded as in Wuchang before, you still need to be on guard against others."
"This...this is not necessary. After all, it is sir's money."
When he heard what Lu Qinghou said, he quickly refused... It wasn't that he didn't want to go out for a walk, it was just that when a person like him who never spent money lavishly met a wealthy and exaggerated person like Yi Xiaotian,
The impact of the other party's consumption concept makes them somewhat timid.
"Just do whatever you want."
Yi Xiaotian tilted his head, not planning to say anything more.
As Yi Xiaotian walked down the stairs, calm was finally restored upstairs.
Zhao Yun stood at the top of the stairs for a long time, watching the disappearing figure of Mr. Lu without saying a word.
——
"Little sister...oh no...Lv...Miss Lu——"
Lu Lingqi was packing the rouge and gouache she bought for her sisters in the room, and at the same time took out a lot of weapons from the suitcase: long swords, short daggers, and of course her own sleeve crossbow.
When she looked up, she found Zhao Yun standing at the door with an embarrassed look. Seeing this, Lu Lingqi waved to him and motioned for him to come in and sit down.
Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, first put the spear next to the door frame, and then sat down at the table in the room quite cautiously.
Looking at the dazzling array of weapons on the table, Zhao Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva:
"Miss Lu..."
"Didn't I tell you to call me eldest sister?"
"Oh! Big...big sister!"
Zhao Yun trembled when he heard Lu Lingqi's deep voice, and hurriedly sat upright and said.
Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, Lu Lingqi frowned, but she actually felt quite complicated.
She had long heard that Liu Bei had a cavalry officer named Changshan Zhao Zilong. Back then, he was even as powerful as her father. Now her father has been arranged by her husband to go to a place outside the world to see such a prestigious person again.
There is quite a feeling of reliving the past.
But... Lu Lingqi was more disappointed with Zhao Yun.
This man... is not domineering at all - he does not have the pride of his father... He is obviously superb in martial arts, but his personality is so reserved. This kind of hidden feeling makes Lu Lingqi quite unhappy... Yes, she understands this
people, but I feel very unhappy with such people.
"So...you came to my place, do you have something to say?"
As one of the first beauties to follow Yi Xiaotian, Lu Lingqi has followed Yi Xiaotian all over the world for so many years, and has long since lost her immatureness - the irritable little lolita back then now has more of a mature charm and less of it.
A hint of youthful restlessness.
Perhaps it was because of being with soldiers and armor all year round that Lu Lingqi, who once had a sharp temperament, has now become more cold and straightforward. Of course... her body shape has not changed much.
This is why, now that Zhao Yun is looking at the woman in front of him, she is obviously petite, but she always puts great pressure on him.
After being in a daze for a while, Zhao Yun came back to his senses, only to find that Lu Lingqi's expression was even more sinister.
So he quickly expressed his doubts:
"Sir, he is not here right now... I... always have some doubts in my heart that I want to know... But I don't think sir will tell me easily, so..."
"So you think I'll tell you?"
Yes, Zhao Yun really wanted to get to know Lu Qinghou as a man - after only two short months of contact, he discovered the mysterious charm that exuded from him all the time.
This man is really too mysterious. However, he knows nothing about him. According to this trend, Zhao Yun feels that one day he will go crazy.
"Uh...this...actually...actually, I think eldest sister, you...you should talk better than sir?"
Zhao Yun scratched his head and just expressed his actual feelings:
"Although sir is always so humble and polite, and even so tolerant towards me, a person who obviously has a special status - but... you can't avoid the sense of alienation that you give me."
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Lu Lingqi raised her eyebrows and finally stopped what she was doing.
Maybe it was intuition, but Zhao Yun's feeling was not wrong at all.
