Why it is necessary to go back to the Ghost Palace overnight, in fact, Bai Feifei has his own considerations in his heart.Whether it is far or not, it is said that it is not close, even if it is galloping on horseback, it will take a day and a night.If something really happened there, if you contact someone to respond, it is inevitable that you will not be able to quench your thirst for a long time.

After returning to the Palace of Ghosts, Bai Feifei informed Ruyi of her whereabouts, and asked her to select a few capable palace ladies to set off in the evening in half a day, waiting for an opportunity outside Qingdie Valley.

After explaining the affairs of the past few days, Bai Feifei took a rest.Walking in the rivers and lakes, there is no road that can be foolproof.Even though her heart was full of doubts, she still told herself to recharge her batteries. According to her experience, thinking too much before leaving could easily lead to mistakes.

Early the next morning, when Bai Feifei left the valley, he found that Shen Lang was already waiting in the forest.

He was still wearing yesterday's white clothes, as if he had just washed his face in a nearby stream, with a refreshing smile on his face, handsome features, ready to break into the girl's dream at any time.

He saw Bai Feifei at a glance, and quickly walked up to her, waving to her as he walked.

Bai Feifei got off his horse, frowned and said to him, "Didn't it be a good thing to meet at the gate of Fenyang City? Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to come to Ghost Valley?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm an idler."

Bai Feifei sized him up again, and hesitated, "Did you...didn't go back last night? You've been waiting here all this time?"

Shen Lang didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The whirlwind was tied to a tree behind him, and was busy nibbling a piece of grass with his head down.

Bai Feifei also squinted his eyes and smiled: "I have no intention of interfering with your willingness to sleep in the wild. But going to Qingdie Valley is considered a long trip. If you don't go back to Renyi Villa to prepare, do you have enough money?"

Shen Lang didn't expect her to say that at first, so he was stunned, but quickly regained his composure: "I never thought about it. However, I am willing to sell myself to the palace lord, as a cow or a horse in exchange for travel expenses, and I hope the palace lord will make it happen." .”

Bai Feifei was amused by him.Shaking his head and ignoring Shen Lang, he got on his horse and rushed to the agreed place.

There was nothing wrong along the way, and after waiting for half a stick of incense at the gate of the city, Wang Lianhua came over slowly, yawning.

Seeing this, Shen Lang joked: "Brother Wang went on an outing, why didn't he bring a few servants to serve him?"

Wang Lianhua was obviously absent-minded, as if she hadn't woken up, she said: "Brother Lao Chen is concerned, I know that we are here for business. Let's go."

Before setting off, Bai Feifei thought that the three of them would get together and the journey would not be peaceful, but he didn't expect to come to the nearest place to Qingdie Valley and the last small place they passed before arriving at Qingdie Valley without many twists and turns. town.

It was getting late and it was inconvenient to travel, so the three decided to spend the night in the town.If we leave early tomorrow morning, we will be able to reach Qingdie Valley before noon.

Although the town of Sparrow is small and well-equipped, it actually runs an inn.There are not many rooms, but there are fewer guests. The three of Bai Feifei asked for three rooms, and gave some extra money to ask the proprietress to clean the inside and outside of the guest room, and ordered her to prepare a table of meals.

The three of them went back to their rooms to freshen up briefly, and after getting rid of the dust all over their bodies, they went out to eat in the front hall.

There are only the boss and the proprietress in the store. The boss cooks four simple side dishes by himself.The three of them were a little hungry after a day of driving, and when they saw the hot food, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Bai Feifei took a piece of food with his chopsticks, brought it to his mouth, and suddenly put it back into the bowl, sighing: "I thought it would be difficult to eat this dish with you two men."

Wang Lianhua just swallowed the food in her mouth, and said with a smile: "Then you should eat a few more mouthfuls, don't disappoint the good food that the boss has worked so hard to cook."

He knocked on the edge of the table and raised his voice to call the boss over: "Shopkeeper, bring me a jug of the best wine you have here."

The boss is a man who has passed his forties, with a simple and honest face, and he must have done a good job in farm work when there is no business.Steadily carrying a small wine jar to their table, the boss enthusiastically promoted his own fermented rice: "Our wine is good and has a lot of stamina! The guests who came here in the past praised the wine as good, and they even put a label on it when they left. Take the pot back!"

Shen Lang took the wine jar from the boss, and took the opportunity to say: "Really, after we taste it, if it's really good, we will naturally buy some to take away."

The boss smiled and went back to the back kitchen.

"It's a pity for these few dishes." Shen Lang filled his glass with wine and took a sip, "But the boss is not bragging, the wine is indeed very good."

He drank two cups in a row and fell unconscious on the table.

Wang Lianhua pushed his shoulder and called him a few times: "Brother Shen? Shen Lang?" Seeing that Shen Lang didn't move, she smiled, "Look, Shen Lang's drinking capacity is only that small."

As soon as the words fell, he also fell down on the table and fell asleep.

Bai Feifei secretly scolded the two of them for hiding away, and originally wanted to call the boss to help send the two of them back to the room, but after thinking about it, why bother?

Therefore, after the boss and the proprietress hid for a while and came out, what they saw was three people fainted on the table, one of the men was still holding the wine glass loosely in his hand, and the residual wine in the glass spilled on the ground leaving a small wet mark .

"My lady, these people don't look like rich people. Ouch!"

The proprietress gave the boss a fist, "I've been in business for so long and I'm still so blind. Their swords can be exchanged for money. Besides, it's the poor who can afford good swords."

They discussed desperately how much the jade pendant on Wang Lianhua's body was worth, what price Shen Lang's horse could sell for, and how much they could earn in total... The proprietress suddenly felt a shudder down her spine, and turned her head away. Look, those three people who had been fascinated by them sat up straight!

Bai Feifei looked at the boss and his wife who were ashen-faced with fright, and said to Wang Lianhua: "I never thought that you, an expert among liars, will meet your colleagues one day."

"It's just a little low-level Mongolian sweat medicine," Wang Lianhua said in a disdainful tone, "I wanted to hear who the two of them were entrusted with and what their purpose was, but now it seems that they are just two thieves. Dare to do it, are you crazy about money?"

The proprietress thought it was the first time she saw someone who could still be sober after drinking and eating, so she begged for mercy tremblingly: "Three knights, we... how dare we have evil thoughts, everything is a misunderstanding!"

Shen Lang said: "Since it's a misunderstanding, please ask the proprietress to explain."

The facts are solid, and the boss and his wife have nothing to explain.The couple looked at each other, and there was one meaning in their eyes: walking is the best policy!

Before the two of them ran to the door, Shen Lang had already stepped in front of them and closed the door.Turning around, Shen Lang said with a smile: "Boss, the food and drink are cold, if you don't go and warm it up for us, where are you going?"

Seeing that today's affairs could not be improved, the boss was not sure whether Shen Lang was serious or joking, so he had to go back to the back kitchen with a bitter face and start cooking again.

Shen Lang returned to the table, pulled aside a chair next to him, and motioned for the proprietress to come and sit.The proprietress is a woman who doesn't understand martial arts, she was frightened when she saw Shen Lang's move just now, she didn't dare to run anymore, she sat down tremblingly.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money when you open a black shop in such a small town?" Wang Lianhua asked with great interest, "Not many people come here all year round, right?"

"No, no, it's not a black shop! We're doing serious business!" The proprietress hurriedly defended.

"Is that true, serious businessmen will put medicine in the food, so as to stun the guests so that they can rob property?"

The proprietress was speechless.

Wang Lianhua stopped teasing her, and asked sinisterly: "I don't see any attractive places in this small town, but looking at the rooms in your inn, it seems that people always come to stay. Is that right?"

Seeing the proprietress's eyes rolling around, she muttered and refused to speak loudly, Wang Lianhua said again: "You answered well, maybe we won't pursue today's matter. If there is something to hide—" He picked up a cup , flicked it lightly in front of the proprietress, and dense cracks appeared on the cup instantly, "Then your heads will soon be the same as this cup."
