Chapter 257: Ye Yu hears the sound of heartbroken (2)
The next day, Lin Yi and the others continued their journey. Xiao Lianqin disguised the three of them again. Lin Yi no longer rode in a carriage, but rode on horseback.
The rest of the trip was uneventful.
After traveling for several days, Lin Yi and three others entered the southern area.
But there are still several days to go from the South Campus.
Lin Yi's injuries are also getting better, and his skills continue to recover.
Now nearly sixty percent of his strength has been restored.
In the evening that day, Lin Yi and three others passed through a small town.
Lin Yi accompanied Su Qinghou to visit Du Qingwen's residence and passed through this town on the way.
Du Jingwen's mansion is about sixty miles away from this town.
After arriving in this town, Lin Yi also visited his old place again.
Lin Yi and the other three first went to a restaurant to have dinner. When they came out of the restaurant, it started to rain sparsely from the sky. Dusk also enveloped the small town.
The whole street was shrouded in mist and rain.
The wind mixed with the drizzle hit Lin Yi's face and fell on Lin Yi, making Lin Yi feel cool.
Today Lin Yi dressed up as a gentle scholar, while the little boy and Ma Peiling pretended to be followers.
Lin Yi walked slowly, with Ma Peiling and the little boy following Lin Yi. The small town in Jiangnan in the mist and rain was as beautiful as an ink painting. It made the three of them feel so comfortable.
After walking forward for more than ten feet, Lin Yi stopped in front of an inn.
There are three words written on the plaque of the inn: Youzi Township.
When Lin Yi saw these three words, he felt very warm.
When Lin Yi and Su Qinghou passed through this town, they stayed at this inn. The innkeeper was very excited when he found out about Su Qinghou's identity. Because Su Qinghou was the pride of the entire southern border, the innkeeper asked Su Qinghou to be the owner of his inn.
When inscribing the plaque, Su Qinghou took up his pen and wrote the three words "Youzi Township".
The inscription was written by Su Qinghou himself, which also brought great popularity to this inn.
Especially people from Jianghu who pass through this place will stay for one night in this inn named by Lord Su.
Zeng Xiaotong looked up at the plaque and said, "Young Master, I heard that the three characters on this plaque were written by Lord Su himself. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Lin Yi said: "It's absolutely true. We will stay here tonight in 'Youzi Township'."
Lin Yi walked into the inn, followed by the little boy and Ma Peiling.
The hall of the inn is very elegantly decorated, with many potted flowers and plants, and many landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.
Lin Yi walked up to the counter. The shopkeeper behind the counter was in his forties. His face looked a little swollen and he had a pair of bubble eyes.
Lin Yi still clearly remembers that the innkeeper was a fat and jovial man. People called him Shopkeeper Su. He was not the man he is now.
The shopkeeper greeted Lin Yi and said, "Master, are you staying here?"
Lin Yi said: "Yes. Shopkeeper, the layout of your inn is so elegant..."
The shopkeeper said: "Young master's accent doesn't sound like he's from the south?"
Lin Yi said: "I am from the north, and I passed by this town when I came to the south to visit relatives. It happened to be dark and it started to rain, so I came to stay at your place. Is Xiongtai the shopkeeper here?"
The man said: "Yes, I am the shopkeeper here, and my surname is Su."
Lin Yi said: "I heard that the name of your inn was inscribed by Lord Su back then?"
The shopkeeper said: "Yes. I really couldn't believe that the Marquis came to my inn to stay at the beginning. I was so happy that I asked the Marquis to rewrite the name of the inn for me, and the Marquis wrote down the three words 'Youzi Township'
Now. Since the Marquis inscribed the inscription, the business of my inn has improved a lot. I have always missed the Marquis in my heart. Unfortunately, the south courtyard was destroyed and the whereabouts of the Marquis are unknown."
After saying this, the shopkeeper sighed.
Lin Yi looked at the teapot on the cabinet and said, "I feel thirsty. Can I borrow a cup of tea?"
The shopkeeper said: "Of course."
The shopkeeper poured Lin Yi a cup of tea. Lin Yi picked up the tea bowl. Suddenly he pretended to shake his hand and the tea bowl fell on the counter. Tea splashed.
Two drops of tea flew towards the shopkeeper's face.
The shopkeeper's head tilted slightly, and the two drops of tea flew past the shopkeeper's face.
Lin Yi said in a panic: "My hands are shaking due to illness and I can't hold it steady. Please forgive me..."
The shopkeeper said: "Nothing's wrong, as long as I didn't burn the young master. Some tea splashed on the young master's face. I have a face towel here."
The shopkeeper said as he took out a folded square face towel from under the counter and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi suddenly took action, grabbing the shopkeeper's wrists with both hands like lightning.
The shopkeeper's hands immediately became unable to move.
The shopkeeper's expression also changed, and he said in shock: "Sir, why are you doing this?!"
Ma Peiling and the little boy did not expect the sudden change of things, and they were immediately alert. The clever little boy even flew towards the door and stood on the side of the door.
It not only prevents people from rushing in from outside, but also prevents people from blocking the door.
Lin Yi exerted force with both hands, and the face towel in the shopkeeper's hand fell on the counter. Lin Yi blew on the folded face towel, and the face towel turned up and unfolded, revealing a number of steel needles densely hidden inside.
It is conceivable that if the shopkeeper launched an attack, the countless hidden steel needles would hit Lin Yi like rain.
Being so close and caught off guard makes it really hard to avoid.
When Ma Peiling saw these steel needles, she immediately put her hand into her clothes and held it on the handle of the knife. She stared at the waiter who was leaning against the pillar next to her. At this moment, the waiter was smiling but not smiling.
The shopkeeper stared at Lin Yi and said, "How did King Lin find out?"
Lin Yi said: "It's very simple. I was the one who accompanied Mr. Hou to this inn back then. So I recognize the 'Shopkeeper Su'. Also, I deliberately dropped the tea bowl and two drops of tea splashed on your face. You subconsciously avoided those two drops.
I used my inner strength to drink the tea, how can ordinary people avoid it?"
The shopkeeper was speechless, his face looked even uglier than crying.
They took control of the inn. He learned some information from the shopkeeper Su, and then pretended to be the shopkeeper. However, he did not expect that he would be exposed.
Lin Yi said: "Who are you? Also, how do you know I am Lin Yi? How did you track me? If you tell the truth, I will let you go today."
The shopkeeper said: "I can't say!"
Lin Yi stared at the shopkeeper, his eyes began to make people shudder, Lin Yi said: "If I were you, I would say it!"
"If I were him, I wouldn't say anything." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. A woman's voice. Then a person came out of the stairs. This person had long hair and a silver face. It was Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang stood at the stairs. He looked at Lin Yi who was still holding the shopkeeper's hands and said: "Xiao Linzi, this brother came to me and offered to cooperate with me to kill you. He also boasted that he had a shadowless poison needle that could not be avoided by ghosts and gods. I
I'm still waiting to see you turned into a hedgehog, but you will see through it. You are too smart. To be honest, although you and I are enemies, you are the second person I have ever admired."
Lin Yi said: "The first one is Zao Wang. If it is Lin Tianshu, I will feel sick."
Qin Dingfang said: "It's the King of Tibet."
Lin Yi looked at the fake "Shopkeeper Su", then at Qin Dingfang and said: "Bei Mo, you can track me, it must be this person's credit, right?"
Qin Dingfang said: "Yes. He said that even if you change your appearance, even if you are three feet away from the ground, he can still catch you. I didn't expect that he really has this ability. It's just that his acting ability is a little worse, and his acting is bad.
