Chapter 1024, Ma Chao

Ma Teng stopped reading the memorial and walked away angrily.

The eunuch followed closely behind, trotting with his head down, a treacherous light flashed in his eyes.

This night, it seemed to be calm, but there was an undercurrent surging in the dark.

The next day.

When Xiao Zijin woke up, the sun had just risen.

Today, I didn't hear Luan Leshan making any noise early in the morning.

When she went out to the yard, she didn't see Ma Chao who usually practiced marksmanship in the yard.

"Where are people? Where did they all go?"

When Xiao Zijin came to the lobby, he saw Ah Yi busy alone, and did not see Luan Leshan.

There are not many guests in the inn now, only four or five at a glance.

This is much worse than the previous passenger flow.

Everything today seems to be different from the past, and it is a hint that something is about to happen.

Ah Yi saw Xiao Zijin speak proactively: "What would Miss Xiao want to eat in the morning? I'll let the kitchen prepare it now."

He had a service smile on his face.

"Ma Chao and Luan Leshan? Are they not in the inn now?" Xiao Zijin couldn't help asking.

They would always be here at this time in the past, why did they go out so early today?

Ah Yi smiled and replied: "I'm afraid the young master and the shopkeeper won't be back in the morning. They need to deal with some things."

He just explained it roughly, but didn't go into details.

Maybe he felt that Xiao Zijin didn't need to know so much, or maybe he didn't feel comfortable letting her know more.

"Oh, that's it. I'll eat those in the morning. Then I'll go back to the yard and wait for you to continue working."

Xiao Zijin turned around and went back to the courtyard, her intuition told her that it was safer to stay in the inn at this time.

After all, she had appeared in this town with Ma Chao now, and if she was left alone, she might become the target of attack.

There is no need for her to go out and accept these unnecessary troubles.

After eating breakfast alone, she suddenly remembered the eagle, and she didn't know how she was doing.

Luan Leshan should treat it well, after all, he is the one who wants to leave.

Xiao Zijin went to Ah Yi and took the black yellow eagle to the yard.

It was no longer in a cage, but stood on a bird stand with its feet tied by thin iron chains.

Xiao Zijin seemed to be in good spirits, so he tried to reach out and touch it.

As a result, before it touched her, it was about to peck her with its mouth.

Xiao Zijin's reaction was fairly quick, and he narrowly escaped.

"As expected, you are still so unpopular with me. You won't touch me unless you are allowed. You seem to be a curiosity to someone? Let me tell you, if you don't bow to me today, I will deprive you of your breakfast."

She began to wrestle with an eagle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound from the lobby.

Xiao Zijin couldn't help turning his head to look, and suddenly became vigilant.

Her first instinct was to look for a weapon.

There was no one in her room, so she entered Ma Chao's room.

Unexpectedly, there was a short sword on the table in Ma Chao's room.

She didn't have time to think too much, and quickly picked up the dagger and rushed into the lobby.

There were more than a dozen people rushing into the lobby at the same time, only Ah Yi and two other people were fighting with them.

Xiao Zijin joined the battle without hesitation.

Ah Yi was a little surprised when she saw her appear: "Miss Xiao! Just go in and avoid here and leave it to us."

He didn't know this woman's skill, but judging from her appearance and figure alone, she didn't seem like a person who knew martial arts.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Xiao Zijin went to help another waiter after finishing speaking.
