As soon as Yu Zhi stepped into the inn, something strange suddenly occurred in his heart.
He quickly covered up the strange look on his face and couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt that something was wrong here.
Yu Zhi stepped on the soil with his toes a few times and whispered: "Be careful, something is wrong here."
Ye Qinghuan nodded calmly and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Xiao Jingyao just said hello and did not come to greet him. This damn fate often arouses suspicion from the other party. Xiao Jingyao also knew that being too enthusiastic at this time would backfire.
A chance encounter or a casual acquaintance is not considered acquaintance.
Yu Zhi and others walked into the lobby of the inn. It was clean, tidy, and even spotless.
Everything in the inn looked extremely clean, as if it had just been cleaned.
Soon, an old woman walked out from behind the counter. Her long, black and mottled hair was neatly combed on her head. Her rickety body seemed about to fall down at any moment.
"Young masters and ladies, there is only meager food in the mountains and fields."
The old woman put the stacks of food on the table and continued without squinting: "If this gentleman likes to drink, I have some home-brewed rice wine here. It's freezing in the weather, so drinking some can warm you up."
As soon as Lao Huang listened to the wine, he instantly became energetic. He shook the empty wine gourd and said, "Wine, where is the wine? Give me a sip."
"I'm going to get it for you right now." The old woman left tremblingly to get the drink.
Yu Zhi withdrew his gaze and said solemnly: "Be careful tonight. Something is wrong here."
After entering the hall, Yu Zhi looked around, and he was even more sure that something was abnormal here.
After hearing what Yu Zhi said, the girl looked around nervously, leaned towards Li Wantong, and held Li Wantong's hand tightly.
The other people also looked around.
"If something is wrong, why do we still stay here?" The girl asked, "Why don't we leave quickly!"
Yu Zhi smiled and said: "Since something is wrong, you have to find out what is wrong. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you. You can't be stared at all the way and make yourself scared."
As soon as Yu Zhi walked into the inn, he found that the soil in front of the door was a little fresh and had just been dug out from underneath. Although it was covered with a layer of old soil and a layer of snow, it was extremely soft. The front door of the inn should be the place where most people come in and out. The soil on the ground has been trampled countless times, so it should be more solid.
It's fine. What are you doing to renovate the dirt on the ground in a snowy day?
This little anomaly may be due to over-knowledge.
After entering the hall, more small anomalies confirmed Yu Zhi's suspicion.
The neat table, the spotless beams, and even the door smelled of the fresh smell of trees.
This inn looks simple and plain, but it is actually extremely ordinary.
And the strange thing is, how could there be such a neat inn in this wilderness? Is it possible that only an old woman can keep such a large inn in order?
Whether Yu Zhi believed it or not, neither did anyone else.
Except for the girl, the others did not panic, but became more calm and calm. When walking in the world, what you fear is accidents, what you fear is attacks and killings. Many masters have died due to calculations, or sneak attacks that were deliberate and unintentional.
Now that the abnormality has been noticed, the opponent's chance of a successful sneak attack has been reduced by half.
What surprised Yu Zhi was that Li Wantong didn't look panicked at all. Yu Zhi sighed in his heart, my Tong'er might have noticed it too. Alas, another missed opportunity... Bah, another missed opportunity to be a hero.
The old woman quickly fetched a pot of wine, and the spout was steaming. She must have heated the wine.
"Masters and ladies, the old lady has nothing to entertain you, so please use it with ease."
"The rooms upstairs are all empty. Young masters and ladies can stay wherever they like."
After saying that, the old woman left alone, probably to rest.
There was snow again outside the door, the wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were completely white, with no room for any other color.
In the hall, several people were sitting around the table, without even taking a bite of the food on the table. Lao Huang looked at the pot of wine and touched his lees nose, as if he was addicted to alcohol.
"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest." Yu Zhi said.
"Tong'er, I will share a room with you tonight to protect your safety!"
Yu Zhitian shamelessly approached Li Wantong, as if he was doing it for Li Wantong's good.
The girl immediately stood in front of Li Wantong and yelled angrily: "Bah, you are such a scoundrel, you still want to take advantage of the young lady."
Immediately, the girl pushed Li Wantong to find a guest room downstairs.
"Tong'er, Tong'er." Yu Zhi stretched out his hands and shouted with a look of reluctance.
Li Wantong couldn't bear to look at Yu Zhi, looking quite helpless. This guy is doing all these ridiculous things.
When Li Wantong and others entered the house, Yu Zhi secretly glanced outside the house and said calmly: "Old Huang, you go and guard Tong'er and the girl. Qing Huan and I will stay here. Something may happen tonight. .”
"Master Xiao Yu, what about me?" Wang Dafu asked. He was the only one who was not assigned the task.
Yu Zhi looked at Wang Dafu, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Of course there is an important task for you?"
Wang Dafu suddenly felt excited. This smile looked malicious.
"No, no, no, with my old arms and legs, I'm afraid it's hard for me to shoulder the heavy responsibility!" Wang Dafu had already sensed the crisis and hurriedly begged for mercy. The implication is, I won’t go, don’t cheat me, Master, spare your life!
Yu Zhi also responded repeatedly: "No, no, no, I believe you!"
Immediately, Yu Zhi glanced at the guest room upstairs and whispered a few words in Wang Dafu's ear.
The guest room upstairs is where Xiao Jingyao and the four of them live.
After saying hello at the door of the inn, Jamel Xiao never showed up again. This made Yu Zhi suspect that everything here was related to Xiao Jingyao.
...
In the guest room on the second floor, Wan'er was making tea for Xiao Jingyao.
After leaving Kyoto, Xiao Jingyao seemed to have changed into a different person. He didn't have to wear fine clothes or play the piano and drink tea. He was just a young man from a small family in Kyoto, traveling around and doing as the local customs did.
"Sir, tell me, did Yu Zhi notice anything strange here?" Wan'er asked.
Xiao Jingyao took a sip of tea and said, "If he can't find it, it means that Mrs. Qiu has misjudged the person."
"In case he really doesn't see it, should we remind him?"
Xiao Jingyao smiled and shook his head, "If he dies here, it means I have misjudged the person. The Great Chu Court does not need such useless people. Besides, hasn't he discovered it now?"
Xiao Jingyao looked at the flickering candlelight, and the firelight reflected on his face, revealing a proud look.
As Yu Zhi expected, Xiao Jingyao was indeed waiting for them, but everything here had nothing to do with Xiao Jingyao. He also wanted to see who was causing trouble here.
When Xiao Jingyao and others stepped into this place, he noticed something strange here.
The prince of Dachu is not a loser, but a person who has insight into the subtleties. Xiao Jingyao did not retreat. In his own words, if he really encountered an evil spirit on his way north, he would kill the traitor and traitor on behalf of Da Chu. If I, Xiao Jingyao, turn a blind eye and stay away, how can I expect others to see injustice on the road?
It has to be said that the integrity of Xiao Jingyao's thoughts and the grandness of his structure are by no means comparable to that of Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi will only think about things that have nothing to do with him and ignore them, not listening, not thinking, not knowing.
