Du Lizhen struggled to get up: "Who is kneeling to you! I just...just suddenly have a pain in my leg for some reason!"
No one responded.
She looked up and saw that Shui Linglong and her servant were already walking towards the door of the inn, with no intention of paying any attention to her.
Leng Lanzhi really didn't have the time to pay attention to Du Lizhen. It was still early and she planned to find a place to stay first and wait until everything was settled before going outside for a walk.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist.
The warm breath of the big hand instantly penetrated Leng Lanzhi's wrist. She was stunned for a moment, but before asking any questions, Gu Zhan pulled her aside.
Leng Lanzhi's feet were unsteady and he fell into a hard embrace.
The man had a familiar cold fragrance on his body and behaved politely. Although he helped her in time due to the sudden incident, he did not go beyond the distance. His two strong hands only held her arm weakly.
Leng Lanzhi hurriedly took a few steps back and withdrew from the man's arms.
At the same time, the door of the inn was suddenly kicked open. The door was kicked with a huge force, and the whole door seemed to be kicked away.
At this time, a low voice came from beside me: "Miss, please forgive me."
A group of officers and soldiers wearing armor rushed into the inn, menacingly and with great momentum.
The leader said loudly: "Where is the shopkeeper? Prepare ten rooms for the military master!"
The shopkeeper bent forward and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, there are only four rooms left in the shop, and they are all taken by the customers over there."
The leading officers and soldiers first took a look at Boss Du and others, and found that the other party was just an ordinary caravan, so they smiled coldly and picked up the shopkeeper's collar: "You're blind! What kind of help are you doing? Are you worthy of competing for a room with us?"
The shopkeeper suddenly turned pale with fright: "The officer is right, he is right!"
The leading officer and soldier snorted and threw the man aside with satisfaction.
Everyone in the Du family was not happy. Du Lizhen said dissatisfied: "Hey, why are you like this? Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?"
The leading officer and soldier sneered: "First come, first served?"
The dozen or so officers and soldiers behind him also burst out laughing.
Du Lizhen was frightened by them, and Boss Du also reacted. He quickly grabbed Du Lizhen and signaled her to stop talking nonsense.
As the saying goes, the people will not fight with the officials. These people look like ruffians at first sight. Once provoked, there is no guarantee that they will not be stained with fishy blood.
Boss Du could only laugh: "Masters, please!"
The leading officer and soldier snorted with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it."
Du Lizhen never expected that the retribution would come so quickly. Not long ago, she was complacent about driving that annoying woman out, but now it was her turn.
She glared at Shui Linglong fiercely.
Although the other person's expression was calm, she felt a sense of gloating about his misfortune.
Boss Du didn't want to cause trouble, so he urged his people to leave the inn.
Although the caravan has more than twenty guards, the number of officers and soldiers is only ten. However, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, otherwise the people will not end well.
Du Lizhen didn't have to look away from Shui Linglong until she left the inn.
Leng Lanzhi did not look at Du Lizhen, she frowned at the officers and soldiers.
How is this behavior different from that of a bandit?
The leading officers and soldiers noticed Leng Lanzhi's gaze and turned their heads to look over with a fierce expression. However, they were stunned when they saw that face, and a deep look of surprise filled their eyes.
But soon, the surprise turned into confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Leng Lanzhi said calmly: "As officials, you should work for the people, instead of using your power to bully others and prey on the people."
The officer and soldier seemed to have heard half of a joke. He raised his head and laughed loudly: "You said that I am bullying others? I am a prey to the common people?"
As he spoke, he threw a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper, "Am I using my power to bully others and prey on the common people?"
The shopkeeper was sweating: "No! No!"
As he said that, the shopkeeper held up the broken silver in his hands, bent down and came to the officer and soldier, and presented the broken silver with both hands: "Our store respects the officers the most, how can we accept your money? The officers will take the money back." Come on, don’t let the villain lose his life.”
The leading officer and soldier smiled proudly: "Look."
Immediately his expression changed and he said with a cold face: "There have been two thieves in the town recently, a man and a woman. They formed a team to commit crimes. I think you two are quite suspicious..."
He suddenly waved his hand: "Search me!"
The shopkeeper glanced at Leng Lanzhi and the others with some sympathy in his eyes, but did not dare to say anything more.
Leng Lanzhi made no move, looking at the officer and soldier with cold eyes.
Soon, two officers and soldiers came to Leng Lanzhi and stretched out their hands to touch her body.
The next moment, the two of them turned into human kites and flew upside down.
boom!
boom!
As the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, everyone in the inn was stunned.
After reacting, a group of officers and soldiers gathered around: "You are so bold and unruly!"
Leng Lanzhi's back was straight, and there was no trace of nervousness on her beautiful face. She took out a sign: "You are the ones who are bold!"
Seeing the waist badge, the expressions of the leading officers and soldiers changed: "Xie family?"
Leng Lanzhi put away his badge and said indifferently: "That's right."
The Xie family is one of the last four most famous families in contemporary times. Mrs. Xie is an outstanding woman born in the Xie family.
Those who are eligible to possess the Xie family's waistband are all the top-ranked children in the Xie family.
The most famous women in the Xie family today, in addition to the well-known Mrs. Xie, are also the two young ladies of the Xie family——
Miss Xie, who is known as a talented woman, and Miss Xie San, who is known as the second most beautiful woman in the world.
Leng Lanzhi had a beautiful appearance and a noble temperament. All the officers and soldiers subconsciously regarded her as one of the two young ladies of the Xie family, and they immediately showed great respect to her.
After all, the Xie family is the head of the four great families, so the current prime minister's surname is Xie.
The expressions of all the officers and soldiers suddenly changed. The leading officer bent down and apologized with a smile: "I didn't know it was Miss Xie earlier. I offended you so much. Please forgive me, Miss Xie."
Leng Lanzhi did not correct the officer's cognitive error. After all, she took out the Xie family's jade pendant just to borrow the Xie family's name.
As the head of the four great families, the Xie family's name is very useful everywhere.
Without revealing her identity, only the identity of the Xie family can ensure a smooth journey for her.
And this waist badge was given to her by Mrs. Xie.
The officer and soldier asked again: "I wonder what Miss Xie's grand prize came to Yiliu Town for?"
Leng Lanzhi looked at him expressionlessly: "Do I still need to report my whereabouts to you?"
The officer and soldier quickly shook his head: "No, no... no need."
Leng Lanzhi handed the shopkeeper a piece of broken silver: "Give me two rooms."
The expressions of all the officers and soldiers suddenly became very exciting, but they did not dare to say anything.
Not long after, the shopkeeper opened the room.
Leng Lanzhi took the room number, but did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the officers and soldiers and asked, "Don't you also want to stay in a hotel?"
The leading officer and soldier could only take out one ingot of silver: "Two rooms, shopkeeper."
Then he explained to Leng Lanzhi: "Don't get me wrong, Miss Xie. We usually pay for accommodation and meals. Just now it was just because that girl spoke so unpleasantly, that's why I deliberately made her angry."
Leng Lan was noncommittal.
Outside the inn.
Du Shuzhen couldn't bear to say: "Father, mother, do we really not care about Miss Shui and the others?"
Before Boss Du could say anything, Du Lizhen said disdainfully: "We took them all the way, but they don't want to be grateful, but they dare to show that attitude! I want to see how they can get to Tianhai City without us. !”
A caravan guy smiled and echoed: "In my opinion, they can't even find a place to stay tonight!"
At this time, a window on the second floor of the inn opened from inside, revealing Leng Lanzhi's face.
