"..." He Li realized that he had slipped his tongue, paused, and changed his words, "No, no. Then tonight, please arrange two rooms."

When he left the palace this time, he planned not to follow the officialdom, and the less people knew about his whereabouts, the better.

The waiter in the shop suddenly said: "Young master has friends, just now I was still thinking, Young master ordered so many dishes by himself, I am afraid I can't finish them..."

Before he finished speaking, the waiter in the shop saw a strange man walking up to him, with a tall and straight figure, with a serious face, which seemed to be a warning.

The waiter in the shop has seen countless people, and at a glance, he knows that this person is not easy to mess with, and he walks steadily, and seems to have martial arts.He swallowed, feeling uncomfortable being stared at by this man, and found an excuse to leave: "Well... the back kitchen dishes should be ready, I'll serve them to you two."

Shi Qi has the expressionless face that all guards have, awe-inspiring and normal, and it is not easy for others to get close to.But like Su Yu, he is used to such a decent appearance, and he can't change it for a while when he is out of the house.

Shi Qi waited until He Li opened his mouth before gently pulling the stool away and sitting down.The well-behaved sitting posture doesn't look like coming to eat, but like being punished.

He said softly: "Young Master, everything has been done."

He Li nodded: "That's good."

Seventeen hesitated to speak, but said, "But..."

He Li said: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Seventeen said: "The beggar is a bit strange. After I gave him the silver, he didn't say thank you, but followed me all the way. I was worried that he had something wrong in his heart. But you don't have to worry, I will deal with it."

He Li wondered: "Why do beggars do this? Could it be that they don't have enough money?"

Seventeen said: "The beggar must have become greedy. Prime Minister Yuan is indeed right. Leaking money will attract villains to worry about."

He Li pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked around the Fuyuan store. The furnishings here are old, and the tables and chairs are missing arms and legs, and few of them are intact.He said: "We came all the way, and what we saw outside was prosperous, and the clothes of the people were quite exquisite. It's just that this store has a sense of inexplicable reason. The shopkeeper and the waiter are both obedient and obedient, giving people the feeling Not very comfortable."

Seventeen said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will pay more attention."

**

After Heli and Shiqi finished their meal, the waiter said that no guest officials had stayed in for a long time, and the room was covered with dust, so they had to go upstairs to clean it first.

The shopkeeper was afraid that the two of them would wait for a long time, so he took them to the stable.There were no other horses in the stables, except for the two horses that He Li brought. Under the dim oil lamp, they flicked their long tails and closed their eyes slightly.

When the shopkeeper saw the horse, his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help admiring: "This is Ben Xiao, a top-notch horse."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stepped forward and stroked the horse's back.

He Li was unhappy, but he didn't stop him.

The shopkeeper touched it for a long time, got his hands on the horse hair, and even made the horse upset, and threw a hoof at him.After the shopkeeper suffered from the pain, he felt that he had lost his composure, and quickly withdrew his hand, but his round eyes still glanced at the horse from time to time.

The shopkeeper wiped his hands on his body, and smiled, the flesh on his face squeezed together, showing unspeakable horror in the dim night, but the shopkeeper didn't realize it, and leaned against his face with the oil lamp, slamming himself His face enlarged in a circle, and even the compliments in his mouth sounded quite disgusting: "When I first met you, I felt that you have an extraordinary bearing. You are either rich or expensive. I am even more sure when I see the horses you use. Ben Xiao The price of one such good horse is worth the food and drink of our ordinary people for a year. Now that I am lucky enough to see it, and to touch it again, it makes people feel like they have been tainted with wealth."

The horses used for the trip were sent by Yuan Zhimi, and He Li didn't know how valuable they were.He looked greedily into the shopkeeper's eyes, and thought to himself, this Yuan Zhimi was thoughtful about parting, and told Shi Qi to be careful when going out, but he himself was negligent, and got two galloping horses. No, it was recognized by the store.

In fact, as soon as he entered the Fuyuan store, He Li felt that the waiter and the shopkeeper seemed to be in the wrong place. He always watched him secretly and whispered secretly.The cunning in the eyes of these two people, like two sharp blades, made people have to be on guard.

He Li didn't want to stay with him any longer, so he gave Shi Qi a look, Shi Qi immediately stepped forward, blocked the shopkeeper's erratic eyes, and said coldly: "It's getting late, we want to rest, please lead the way. "

The shopkeeper restrained his expression, and hurriedly said: "Yes, this way please."

The two rooms to stay in were adjacent to each other, with candle lamps lit, the dim light came out from the unclosed doorway, and it appeared clearly in the dark corridor.

The shopkeeper stopped at the entrance and said, "I won't disturb the two of you resting, please do what you want."

Shi Qi touched the door with his hand, but did not push it open, sniffed, and asked, "Have you lit incense?"

With the door closed, the scent was not obvious, but through the gap in the door, Shi Qi could still smell it.

The shopkeeper explained: "It has been raining for the past few days, and the bedding has also been damp. Light some incense to remove the smell."

Shi Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then pushed the shopkeeper: "You open the door."

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he didn't move for a long time. He asked, "Guest officer, why is this?"

Shi Qi didn't answer, and He Li was touched by Shi Qi, and also sensed that something was wrong, and stood a step away, with a dignified expression and a little defensiveness.

The shopkeeper said again: "The small shop is for serious business, and will not follow crooked ways. Please rest assured, both of you, I promise that there will never be any problems in my Fuyuan shop."

The shopkeeper patted his chest as he spoke, with an air of righteousness and dignity, but the people in front of him didn't buy it.

Shi Qi stood in front of He Li, staring coldly at the shopkeeper who wanted to argue again.

After all, the shopkeeper is a person who knows people's colors, knowing that they have made their attitude clear and will not compromise, so he wiped the cold sweat from his brow, took it easy, and said: "Then... that's fine."

Pushing open the door, the shopkeeper took a deep breath, went in and turned around, nothing happened, backed out, and was about to say a few words, Shi Qi pointed to the side and said: "There is another room."

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Guests, this incense is really ordinary. I've smelled it just now. No, it's safe and sound. Our small shop is doing business, how can we kill for money!"

Shi Qi ignored his words and said sharply, "Go in."

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely, and secretly looked downstairs, but he didn't find the waiter.

Seventeen said: "Since there is no problem, why do you hesitate?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Guest officer, I'm just thinking too much. I was just wondering if Xiao Er went to boil hot water for you after cleaning the room. There is absolutely no other intention, absolutely no other intention..."

In desperation, the shopkeeper pushed the door open.

However, the next moment, the shopkeeper suddenly collapsed on the ground. At the same time, as if he had been greatly frightened, he pointed at the door with trembling fingers, and said intermittently: "Sun...sun...sun..."

Spit out three words, not a sentence.

It's not like the shopkeeper is pretending.

He Li and Seventeen looked at each other, and rushed to the door.
