Luo Lan took A Hong and A Cai on the road for nearly ten days, and finally arrived at a place called Ningluo City. Looking at the tall city gate, A Cai asked with some doubts road:
"Miss, do we really want to stay here? Are we going to go north?"
"I'm not leaving."
Luo Lan looked far away, looking at the city gate not far away and murmured:
"We have inquired along the way. This is the only way back to the capital from Ninggu Pagoda. As long as we wait here, we will definitely be able to wait for them. If we continue to move forward, it will be easy to take two forks."
Thinking of Leng Yu, she felt a little sad. It had been more than two months since he left her. She hadn't seen him for so long, and she didn't know how he was. Was he thinking about her all the time like she did?
After saying this, she whispered: "Let's go!" Then she strode forward towards the city gate.
A group of three people found a small but clean inn in Ningluo City. Looking at the big words "Rujia Inn" hanging on the front door, A Cai squinted his eyes and muttered:
"The name sounds pretty good, but I don't know if this place will really feel like home."
Ah Hong's face was gloomy, her eyes looked around alertly, and then she whispered:
"We are new here, and others may look unfamiliar to us, so we'd better be careful."
Luo Lan nodded solemnly, "Well, let's go in!"
After saying that, the group stepped into the door of Rujia Inn.
When the waiter saw a guest coming, he rushed over to greet him.
"Three girls, are you staying in a hotel or eating?"
Luo Lan glanced around here. The first floor was a restaurant with several tables of customers dining. It looked clean and bright.
She nodded and said:
"We will also stay in the hotel and have food. We will get two upper rooms and prepare some food to send to the rooms."
The waiter nodded hurriedly and said:
"Invite the three girls upstairs, and the food will be delivered later."
After saying that, he led the three of them to the stairs and shouted to the people above:
"There are three female guests, two upper rooms."
Someone above them responded, and the waiter asked them to come up on their own while he went to prepare food.
As soon as they went upstairs, a single man followed behind them. This man was dressed in black and holding a sword. It was Liu Wei who was sent by the emperor to hunt her down.
Behind him, four or five more men in black came in one after another. The faces of these people had expressions that made people afraid to approach them. The waiter in the shop quickly greeted them carefully.
Both groups of people chose to stay and dine here.
It's just that their purposes are different. One of them came to kill Luo Lan, and the others came to kill Luo Lan and Leng Yu.
Therefore, no matter which group of people, they are in fatal danger to Luo Lan. Fortunately, they have not recognized Luo Lan yet. They all guessed that this is the only way for Ning Guta to return to the capital, thinking that here Complete your tasks.
Since it was afternoon and it was getting late, these people had a simple meal downstairs and then went back to their rooms.
After traveling for so long, I could finally rest for a few days, so Luo Lan also lay down and went to sleep early.
This night was as calm as water...
Early the next morning, Luo Lan was going to take A Cai and A Hong to visit the city gate in the north. They were not sure when Leng Yu and the others would come back, so there would be nothing wrong if they went around every day.
Downstairs of Rujia Inn, there were many guests having breakfast. Luo Lan and the other three also found a seat by the window and sat down, asking the waiter to prepare food for them.
At this time, Liu Wei, who had just come down from upstairs, noticed these three women. The people who appeared here so early must be people staying here. Women staying in inns must have no choice but to go out.
After comprehensive consideration, Liu Wei came to the conclusion that there might be the person he was looking for among these women, but in order not to kill innocent people in vain, he decided to get close to them until he was sure that this was Shui Luolan.
So, he frowned and walked downstairs slowly, trying to find a reason to talk to them.
At this moment, the waiter passed by him with three bowls of porridge. He suddenly quickened his pace and accidentally bumped into the waiter. The waiter lost his footing and dropped the three bowls of porridge to the ground. Luo Lan, who was waiting not far away, saw this scene and glanced at Liu Wei with a frown. Liu Wei also looked up at her at this time.
The waiter said coldly and displeasedly:
"Why don't you watch the road, sir? This porridge is hot, what if it burns someone? Besides, those three girls are still waiting to eat."
Seeing that the waiter was blaming himself, Liu Wei was not annoyed, but said directly to the waiter:
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Please waiter, please serve three more bowls... No, it's four bowls of porridge. It will be charged to my account."
The waiter sighed helplessly, put away the bowl on the floor, and went to serve porridge again.
Liu Wei came straight to Luo Lan and the others, clasped his fists and bowed in salute:
"I'm really sorry for the three girls. I was reckless just now and made the three girls wait for a long time. I am ashamed of myself."
Seeing that he spoke so politely and didn't look like that evil man, Luo Lan shook his head and said:
"It's okay. It's best that Mr. Liu didn't get burned."
"How do you know my surname is Liu?"
Liu Wei pretended to be surprised and looked at her with surprise.
Luo Lan pursed her lips, shook her head and chuckled, "Mr. Liu just called himself Liu. What else could he be if his surname wasn't Liu?"
"What the girl said is absolutely true. Meeting her is fate. Do you dare to ask her her name?"
Luo Lan's brows tightened, feeling a little embarrassed. Ah Hong stood up and stood in front of him, looked at him coldly, and replied displeasedly:
"It is inconvenient for our young lady to reveal her name, Mr. Liu, please do it yourself."
Liu Wei was not angry, he hurriedly bowed to Ah Hong and clasped his fists:
"This girl has a bad temper, and she doesn't like to laugh. Women who don't like to laugh tend to age easily."
Ah Hong glared at him angrily, "Glib talk."
Liu Wei then grinned at her. He had been walking in the palace all year round. He was already a cold person, but in order to complete the task, he could only force a smile.
Liu Wei then sighed and shook his head, "Liu has been traveling around the world all year round. It's rare to see a few such outstanding and charming girls, so I said a few more words without any intention of offending. I hope that some of you will Girl, please don’t misunderstand Liu’s intention.”
Ah Hong wanted to say something more, but Luo Lan shook his head at her and motioned for her to sit down. Ah Hong then glared at him and sat back down in her seat.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wei bowed respectfully to Luo Lan and said:
"Dare I ask, girl, can I sit here? I don't have any other intentions. The accents of some of them are from the capital. Liu feels like meeting an old friend in a foreign country."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and chuckled, frowned slightly and shook her head, "I don't like to dine at the same table with strangers. It will be inconvenient. Mr. Liu, don't force others to do anything."
Seeing her firm tone, Liu Wei could only sigh regretfully, salute again with some embarrassment:
"Then I won't disturb you. Girls, please excuse me."
After saying these words, he sat at the seat closest to them, and when he raised his head, he could meet Luo Lan's eyes.
