step by step

The sky had already darkened, and the big red lantern beside the inn's plaque was emitting a dark red light.In the wilderness, this inn is strange.Xingkong glanced at the dark inn door uncomfortably, feeling a little hairy in his heart.He didn't go in, he just yelled loudly at the door: "The shopkeeper!"

A thin old man hurried out with a candlestick in his hand.Seeing the gorgeously dressed group of people at the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became more humble: "Several guests, the younger one is the shopkeeper of this inn. Look at the sky, how many of you are planning to stay in the inn? "

Xingkong responded.For some reason, he always felt that there was an indescribable sense of disobedience in this inn, which instantly raised his vigilance to the highest level.He didn't believe that with the keenness of the two women in the car, they didn't feel anything unusual, but no one had spoken up until now, obviously they didn't intend to share the news with him.

He was a little annoyed at the bottom of his heart, and responded indiscriminately.Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak again, he turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage, and the two Fu Shisang, who moved stiffly, got down, expressionlessly performing the duties of the coachman to the extreme.

Shi Sangbi Kongzhu got out of the car first, looked up at the dim inn, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, at this time, if you don't rush to escape, why are you thinking about opening an inn here?" ?”

"Escape? There is no way to escape." The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, and the tangled expression really convinced people who didn't know the truth.He seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly patted his head, and said with a smile: "Look at my foolish old man! Guest officers please come in quickly, the little old man has lost his manners. There is no rule of letting guests stand at the door and talk . Please forgive me from a few guests."

Shi Sang smiled faintly: "It's okay." Inadvertently, he and Kong Zhu looked at each other, and both of them smiled slightly.

The shopkeeper led the way, and Shi and Sang followed him to the assigned room.But Xing Kong didn't follow them, he untied the rope on the horse, and drove the horse to the stable behind the inn.

"Shopkeeper, you said just now that there is no way to escape, what did you mean? You can't even have the plague in the magic city where His Majesty lives?" Shi Sang tempted unhurriedly.

The shopkeeper didn't turn his head back: "That's not true! Our Majesty, now that we can't protect ourselves, how can we still care about the lives of ordinary people like us!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Could it be that the black wolf riders stationed in the capital city are all food?" Shi Sang asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper stopped in a room at the end of the second floor, opened the door and turned around to explain: "Hey! Those adults riding the black wolf are also infected with the plague, not only them, even the palace seems to have died a lot People, His Majesty ordered the gates of the imperial city to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter. It is said that the corpses thrown from the palace to the outside of the city every day have piled up into a mountain!"

Shi Sang glanced at the thoughtful Kong Zhu, and had a general understanding of the situation in the devil's capital in his heart.Seeing the shopkeeper walking to the next room, Shi Sang immediately stopped him and said, "Hey, one room is enough."

"One?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and hurriedly explained: "We don't do that kind of thing that makes money in the world! We won't deliberately raise the price, you two, please rest assured."

"One room is enough for the two of us, we don't need two rooms." Shi Sang emphasized again: "By the way, after that guy came just now, you can open another room for him, just next door to us. .”

The shopkeeper nodded.The two entered the room, and Shi Sang closed the door.Kong Zhu waved his hands and placed an enchantment around the sound insulation, and said with an ugly face: "I hate being threatened!"

"Will you live or die with the emperor?" Shi Sang had already noticed that her emotions were wrong, turned to face her, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Then just kill him."

"No. But that's two different things. Are they so sure that I will go back to save that bastard because of his risk alone?" Kong Zhu frowned tightly, looking impatient.Her eyes slowly fell on Shi Sang.Shi Sang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and rubbed Kong Zhu's hair fiercely: "We have a natal contract, if something happens to you, what do you think I can do? Even if I want to attack him , and won’t do it so obviously. Maybe they don’t know that you have a bad relationship. After all, as a son of man, if a normal person encounters such a situation, he will naturally lose his sense of proportion immediately.”

She still kept those few threats firmly in her heart.Kong Zhu snorted coldly, turned his eyes away, and said unwillingly: "I still don't know which force is behind him. When I find out everything that needs to be figured out, I will definitely tear him into pieces!" A trace of bloody and vicious resentment flashed across her pupils, and no one who heard or saw this scene would think that she was joking.

The emotions in my heart have been suppressed for too long, too long.Once it broke out completely, even she herself didn't know what crazy things she could do.The more it is time to face the result, the more difficult it is to control one's emotions.What's more, at this time, when I originally thought that the goal could be achieved immediately, so many mistakes happened, which made everything more complicated.

As a result of the big prophecy, she saw her hopeless future and knew that she was defeated by fate.But she was still not reconciled, but she still lost her greatest advantage, and she lost her army of 50 and the city of False Creek that she had carefully planned to occupy.

She could feel that her emotions had reached the verge of collapse, but she still calmly compressed her emotions again, suppressing them severely, and doubling the harm.She is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself.After decades of forbearance, the bottom of my heart has long been rotten and covered with cobwebs.

She had no choice and had no choice.Since ancient times, she has been successful and defeated, and she doesn't want to fail.I don't feel like I'm going to fail either.

Shi Sang gently hugged her shoulders, hoping to pass on some of his warmth to her.She has been smooth sailing since she was a child, with extraordinary talent, she has what she wants, no matter inside the clan or outside, she has never suffered any setbacks.Her living environment is much more noble than that of a noble princess like Kongzhu.She is the true pride of heaven, and the world looks up to her.And the proud son of heaven held in the palm of everyone's hands, only in Kong Zhu, he tasted the feeling of not getting what he asked for.

Since then, it has been out of control.

Kong Zhu stretched out his hand and touched his eye sockets, it was dry as expected.She calmly pushed Shi Sang away, and at the same time pushed away the warmth she gave: "Xingkong should have returned, let's go down to eat first."

Shi Sang lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

The shopkeeper brought out side dishes, which were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, and there was nothing unusual about them.Kong Zhu tasted a few mouthfuls in silence, then put down his chopsticks in a lack of interest, Shi Sang persuaded him a few times, Kong Zhu reluctantly took two more mouthfuls of rice, without any appetite at all.

Shi Sang sighed, the sex on the side was unclear, so he took a look at the sullen-looking two people, and feasted on them.Almost all the dishes on the table went into his stomach.

She said viciously: "Are you reincarnated by a starving ghost? Are you afraid that you will be reincarnated soon? Remember to reincarnate this time in a place without the two of us, otherwise you will be reincarnated by us in the next life and the next life." The two continue to squeeze."

The chopsticks in Xing Kong's hands fell to the table with a "clack", and he asked in horror: "There is poison in the food?!" He was already half-convinced when he said the words, there are too many weird things about this restaurant, He was on guard early in the morning.Even when eating, I saw the two of them moving their chopsticks before they dared to eat.The plates he picked up were all picked up by Shi Sang and his wife.I didn't expect him to be so cautious, but he was still hit.

Shi Sang glanced at him, and said calmly: "Otherwise, the two of us have been hungry for a whole day, why didn't we move our chopsticks? Hurry up and eat it, it's specially reserved for you, it won't be good if it gets cold."

Poisonous vegetables?Reserved for him?Xingkong's handsome face was flushed with anger, and he stood up "crazyly", pointing at Shisang with a trembling index finger, as if he would rush up immediately in the next moment, raising the knife and dropping it.If it weren't for my lack of strength... Xing Kong took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked with the last hope: "Are you lying to me? In fact, there is no It’s not poisonous, right? If it’s really poisonous, the two of you obviously took a few mouthfuls just now…”

Shi Sang wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, glanced at him casually, and said with a sneer, "Yeah. I'm just lying to you. I really believe it. So stupid."

Xingkong took a deep breath, and secretly calculated the strength comparison between the two sides.In the end, I had to come to the conclusion decadently that even if they all died together, the probability of their success was no more than [-]%.He suppressed his anger and sat down angrily, but he didn't dare to move his chopsticks anymore.

Shi Sang didn't miss the corners of Kong Zhu's slightly hooked lips just now, leaned close to her, and jokingly said: "I heard that in ancient times, there were kings and princes who played tricks on the princes. Pulling out the beard, playing around with a nihilistic strong man, I wonder if the beauty is satisfied?"

Xingkong took a few more sips of water, stared at the ground expressionlessly, pretending he didn't hear anything.

Kong Zhu pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "Yes."

Shi Sang chuckled lightly: "That would not have been a waste of my painstaking efforts."

The words were vague, Kong Zhu understood, and quietly glanced at the second floor.The vague sense of prying eyes saw her looking for it, and quickly disappeared.Only then did Kong Zhu pick up the cup, and slowly sipped the tea in the cup.

Shi Sang raised his voice and shouted: "The shopkeeper!"

The thin figure ran over from the counter in a panic, with sleepy eyes in his eyes: "Guest officers, what's the matter with calling me a little old man?"

Seeing his funny look, Shi Sang couldn't help smiling, and asked, "Do you have any wine here? Bring me some wine."

The shopkeeper looked happy, and replied repeatedly: "Of course, of course, the best peach blossom stuffed osmanthus stuffed, no matter how many customers there are, it will definitely be enough!"

The shopkeeper was about to go down to get some wine, when Shi Sang asked casually, "Are there any other guests staying in this store besides our group?"

"There is another one on the second floor. It was here two days ago." The shopkeeper gave a vague introduction and left.

Kong Zhu nodded lightly between his eyebrows, "It seems that he is not from the same group, those people should have taught him to say those words." In this world, how can normal people stay here and open an inn.Although there are many fleeing people coming and going, who knows who will be infected with the plague. Although they can earn more money, they still have to spend their lives.

The shopkeeper didn't know anything about their temptation, and the words he said were just flat, as if they were just narrated according to the original plan.He didn't even use this to collect more money, and the reason he found out in a panic almost made Shi Sang laugh.

If you don't make money in troubled times, then you don't close the door, you don't flee, what are you doing here to open an inn.

"It startled the snake after hitting the grass, and they should make some moves next, right?" Xing Kong was still staring at the table in a daze.Shi Sang glanced at his profile inadvertently, and a thought-provoking ripple quickly flashed in his eyes.
