Early the next morning, Lin Chong and Yuan Qingfang, who planned to go out to have breakfast before going to Zhaoyun Tower, packed up and prepared to go out. However, they heard a noise before they could reach the door.
Lin Chong looked back curiously, and saw that the Tiandimen trio were rushing down from upstairs. It seemed that not only had they not eaten breakfast, but they had even put on their clothes in a hurry.
It was indeed early at this time, there were almost no customers downstairs, and the guys all looked at them sleepily, with obvious expressions on their faces. Could it be that something big had happened?
When the trio walked up to Lin Chong, he asked out of politeness: "Where are you guys going? We have found a carriage outside and are going to Zhaoyun Tower. We can give you a ride on the way."
Duanmuling was very surprised: "You already know?"
This time, even Lin Chong looked confused: "What do you know?"
"Stop pretending, if you don't know why you are going to Zhaoyun Tower?" Yanli was very sure that these two people were pretending to be stupid on purpose.
"...We really don't know anything. The reason why we plan to go to Zhaoyun Tower is just a temporary decision."
"Okay, don't waste time here, hurry up and let's talk as we walk." Liu Xingyan glared, and Duanmu Ling and Nanli immediately shut their mouths honestly.
Lin Chong shook his head. He was worthless. He was so worthless. He had lost the face of the entire Ming Dynasty. Two grown men were taught a lesson by a little woman and they didn't dare to say anything.
Lin Chong had originally found a coachman, but now that there were so many more people, it happened to save the price of hiring a coachman. Although it delayed others' time, he had to pay less.
Duanmuling and Yanli were naturally sent to the front to catch the carriage, and Lin Chong got into the carriage very consciously and found a place to sit.
Liu Xingyan glanced at him with disdain: "You are a grown man, do you feel embarrassed to be crowded in a carriage with two women?"
Lin Chong looked very magnanimous: "This is the carriage I rented with money, and it was originally meant for me to ride in. What am I sorry for, but some girls question the owner's character while sitting in the carriage kindly provided by others.
This approach is really sad.”
"You..." Although Liu Xingyan wanted to refute a few words, what he said was indeed correct, but she couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
"Because your words made me very shocked and sad, I originally planned to give you a ride for free, but now I have changed my mind. Everyone has to pay a fare of ten taels of silver. We only accept cash and no credit.
"
Liu Xingyan was simply shocked. She already knew the identity of the other party, but she didn't expect that the emperor would want to collect fares from them.
"Ten taels? Do you know how much a shabby car like yours can buy for ten taels?" Liu Xingyan looked unkind.
"One moment and another, now you are in a hurry, he is worth this price. Can the ordinary steamed buns and the steamed buns sold to you when you were about to starve to death have the same price?" Lin Chong calculated slowly.
Liu Xingyan didn't want to pay attention to him and turned her head away from him, but Lin Chong deliberately wanted to show affection in front of her, blinding the titanium alloy eyes of an older single woman.
During the commotion along the way, Lin Chong probably knew what was going on. It turned out that early this morning, they were awakened by a carrier pigeon carrying a message, and their spy near Zhaoyun Tower sent back the news.
"What? Someone attacked Zhaoyun Tower? Can you find out who it is?" Lin Chong was shocked.
Liu Xingyan's expression was serious: "We don't know yet. As soon as their people fought with us, they immediately retreated without having time to stop us and ask questions."
"See, you guys retreated as soon as they fought?" Lin Chong and Yuan Qingfang looked at each other, and both saw some bad guesses in each other's eyes. Lin Chong remembered Liu Xingyan's respect for Master Lin before, and couldn't help but replace her in advance.
Silence.
"What's your expression? Do you know something?" Lin Chong's expression naturally did not escape Liu Xingyan's eyes.
"No, no, I just have some speculations of my own. I don't have any real evidence yet. Even if I say it, it doesn't make sense. It will also affect your judgment." Lin Chong explained seriously.
"If they went to Zhaoyun Tower, what would it be for? Is someone else being targeted?" Yuan Qingfang interjected.
"I'm going to do a thorough investigation this time to see who is so bold and wants to arrest people under our noses at Tiandimen." Liu Xingyan snorted coldly.
"You haven't left anyone alive, so what's the use of checking?" Lin Chong complained silently. But it was obviously unwise to say this. Miss Liu was angry now, and she might do something impulsive.
He teamed up with the two drivers outside and left them dead in the wilderness.
After Lin Chong and Liu Xingyan fell silent, the carriage fell into a strangely quiet atmosphere. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and no one spoke. It remained like this until Zhaoyun Tower.
Although they were in a hurry, the situation has actually been stabilized. The people from Tiandimen ambushing here will naturally not suffer any big losses. Only one person in the entire Zhaoyun Tower was injured.
"It's that girl." Yuan Qingfang whispered to Lin Chong in a low voice. It seemed that this girl was their target this time.
"This shows that the other party already knows that she has a good relationship with Xia Qing. They are worried that she will reveal her secrets, so they want to get rid of the roots. We must let her cooperate with us as soon as possible to find out the truth of the matter!" Lin Chong's tone was serious, and he would be released if he continued to delay.
A person's life can be saved once or twice. People from Tiandimen can't always save her in such a timely manner.
After what happened this time, it was impossible for those who wanted to hide it from the Heaven and Earth Sect. Everyone could see that these people were targeting her. Even if she remained silent, she would be the one who would be hurt in the end.
After the trio asked clearly what happened, they immediately went straight to the girl's room. The madam followed them the whole time. First, they were grateful to the people at Tiandimen for their help this time, and then they complained about this person and didn't know what to do.
They always pick on their family members to do things, and if this continues, they won’t have to do business anymore.
Indeed, it was not just their family that was affected by this incident. This street was much deserted than usual. The girls were all listless. It was obvious that they had not rested well in the past few days.
"Maybe he didn't want to attack someone from your family, maybe he just happened to be passing by, right?" Lin Chong couldn't stand listening any more and couldn't help but interrupt the madam's complaint. This kind of thing can only be investigated in modern times.
But it is very strict, and they are not satisfied that they can operate reasonably, legally and legitimately.
