Chapter 192: Encountering officers and soldiers at night
When we came down, it was getting dark. There were two lanterns at the door of the hotel. When I looked closer, I saw the words "Yu's Hotel" written on it. A waiter came out with a smile.
Su Ziji noticed, however, that the hotel looked quite new, no more than three years old, but the pier he walked through was obviously built for a few years.
I also thought that the river bank was very desolate except for the pier, so I couldn't help but ask the waiter.
The waiter glanced outside and then lowered his voice: "Hey, there was a demon on the river bank before. After this happened, who would dare to stay there at night?"
"Even if we build a hotel, it won't grow! That's why our boss built the hotel here. Although it's far away from the shore, it's next to the official road and there are a lot of tourists from mainland China."
"I see." Su Ziji nodded, but this plan was not bad.
"Husband, I've seen the room and it's quite clean. It's nighttime and since you're not feeling well, you should go and rest first. If anything happens at Uncle Fang's place, I'll be here." Ye Buhui walked over at this time and urged him.
Su Ziji hummed, it was a bit luxurious to live in a private house in this place. After all, there were many people, so some were left in the fleet, but there were also more than a dozen people who came with them, most of them scattered nearby.
Su Ziji and Fang Wenshao rented the best room, separated from each other by a low wall half a person's height, and with a small door for walking back and forth.
There are only two rooms in each place here, one outside and one bedroom.
There is not even an earthen stove. If you want hot water or food, you have to go to the front and ask for it from the waiter. Of course, hot water is provided for free, but eating requires extra money.
Ye Buhui was still busy outside. Su Ziji was now weak, but his mind was still thinking about the water demon and the Dragon Palace. He lay on the couch covered with new mattresses for almost half an hour before he felt comfortable.
As I fell asleep, an unusual sound came from the half-open wooden window of the bedroom.
A man jumped into the low wall like a flying swallow, followed by a strong smell of blood.
"Who?" Su Ziji was startled when he heard the sound. When he saw clearly that it was a person who came in, or a person covered in blood, his expression immediately turned cold.
I was too careless. I had martial arts skills and even learned Taoism, but I was not always vigilant.
However, being constantly vigilant can easily lead to neurasthenia, so Su Ziji pulled out the dagger that he never left his body with, jumped off the bed, and walked towards him.
"Chirp!" At this time, something jumped out of the low wall. The snow-white fur was stained with some embarrassment. When I took a closer look, I saw that it was the lost little fox!
"Xiao Bai!" Ye Buhui heard the voice and came in. He happened to see the little fox and was immediately surprised. Sure enough, Xiao Bai didn't run away on purpose. He must have accidentally fallen into the water at that time, and now he has recovered Baili -
He is a good fox who loves his master.
But then she saw the people on the ground and was frightened again.
"Who is this?!"
"I'm afraid I'm being chased here, so don't say anything and take Xiaobai inside first." Su Ziji pointed to the location inside and said.
"Xiao Bai, be good, don't scream." Ye Buhui's heart sank. He knew that he was just a weak woman and didn't have much force. If he didn't cause trouble at this moment, he would just help. He took two steps forward, bent down and picked up Xiao Bai.
Get to the back.
When his eyes fell on what looked like a broken chair leg against the wall, he picked it up and stood there, ready to give it to someone at any time.
"Surround this hotel. This guy is injured. He must not be able to run far. He might be inside!" From here, about two low walls away from the entrance of the hotel, someone shouted loudly, and at the same time, there was the neighing of war horses.
The sound can be heard clearly.
"If you are surnamed Qin, come out if you are sensible. If you don't come out, every one of the people in this hotel will be buried with you!"
"You are the son of a border guard. Your ancestors have been generals for generations, guarding the southwest. Are you now a coward?"
"Qin, come out and die!"
"This place is still far from the capital. Most of the people around you are dead. Even if you want to go to the capital to report the news, you can't escape. Come out and die!"
"Why? You won't come out? We are about to set a fire. The soldiers will listen to the order and prepare to set off rockets immediately!"
People outside were shouting with murderous intent.
Everyone in the hotel, including the boss, was afraid that they would hear the noise, but whoever dared to take the lead at this time was waiting for someone to go out first to test what was going on.
Su Ziji noticed that the man lying on the ground was struggling, and sneered, not knowing who he was mocking: "This is really treating people as idiots, shouting out the matter of silencing a murderer so openly, is it possible that the people in the hotel
After hearing this secret and witnessing this incident, can people let it go?"
It is clear that even if the people outside are not in the hotel, they will probably massacre the people in the hotel.
From the beginning, there was no intention to let the people inside out alive.
"Puff!" At this time, the people outside really started shooting arrows into the hotel. The arrows were filled with fire. If they landed in one place, flames would burst out.
"Get out of the house first." Su Ziji made a decision immediately.
But before he could go out, he heard a man's voice from far away, as if heading outside, with fear and uneasiness: "Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow! I am Zhang Xiucai from Ming'an Mansion, Ming'an Mansion."
The prefect of the mansion is my cousin..."
At this time, the arrow seemed to really stop.
Not to mention, when Zhang Xiucai saw the arrows stopped, his courage suddenly increased. He thought he was afraid of himself, so he changed his color and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? If you are a bandit, are you not afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers? If you are officers and soldiers, how can you
Dare to kill people at will?"
Su Ziji felt that someone was about to move nearby, and seemed to want to follow him out. He looked out through the gap in the window and vaguely saw firelight outside. It seemed that many people were holding torches.
"Ah!" Zhang Xiucai just said this, and those who were peeping nearby saw the cavalry slashing diagonally from the shoulder to the crotch. Zhang Xiucai screamed and fell to the ground, with blood splattering.
The people in the hotel were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, they just trembled.
"These unruly warriors, when I became a Jinshi, I had to give them some respect." Fang Wenshao was angry and scared at the same time, and suddenly he understood why his seniors hated warriors so much.
"Zhang Xiucai is finished." Su Ziji didn't even need to look at it to think of the fate of the scholar who thought he would be able to get out smoothly after signing up.
Because the "blood gourd" lying under his feet at the moment was a general wearing armor. Judging from the situation, his rank was not low. If such a person was hunted down, he knew that it must be something big.
"There's no way it's because of me, so you're pretending to be a conflict, right?"
"I just wanted to take a rest before going ashore. No one could react in such a short time."
"Whoosh——"
I just thought that at this moment, an arrow shot in from the outside and pierced the window of the room, and the flames suddenly burst out.
