I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you protecting me." Xiao Minglou finally let go of the belt that he twisted into crumpled pickles, and thoughtfully flattened Qi Chang's skirt to make it look more ironed. Post a few points.

Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Chang with raised phoenix eyes: "Say something else, I was interrupted just now, since you have agreed to my terms, I will fulfill my promise."

Qi Chang lowered his head slightly and could still see a small section of his neck that was as white as a swan's neck. He was a little dazed, "What promise?"

Xiao Minglou took the opportunity to back away when he was flattening his clothes at the end, and sat down at the table not far away like a feather, with no ambiguity on his face: "Didn't you just ask?" Why did my enemy, Ms. Shi, send a group of assassins to die? If I say that these assassins are all used as stepping stones for others, what should you do?"

"You mean..." Qi Chang is not a dull person, his mind was not slow, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he frowned slightly, "They came here to die in order to facilitate something?"

"Why don't you guess more boldly, and directly say that you 'deserved to die' in order to fulfill some people's heroic feat of saving the beauty?" Xiao Minglou sneered, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes, "This trick can be said to be used You're going to die, but if you want to cheat a little girl's heart, this small trick is enough, let alone a fiancé couple, saving a beauty can save a justifiable name."

Xiao Minglou is used to speaking freely as he pleases, and he doesn't know how to write the word restraint when he speaks.

To a certain extent, Qi Chang is also such a person, but he is naturally reticent, rarely speaks, and he is not like Xiao Minglou who is not afraid of offending people when he speaks.And most of the time the only person who can make him speak is Xiao Minglou, but he can be rude to anyone, but he will always unconsciously hesitate to Xiao Minglou, so Xiao Minglou snatched his words first.

In fact, Qi Chang also thought so in his heart, just seeing that Shi Yueying could only see Zhang Jia Dalang's shy appearance in his eyes, he knew that this strategy of a hero to save the beauty was very good.

And Xiao Minglou almost didn't say clearly that the Zhang family was related to the Shi family's massacre. Otherwise, how could he explain that the assassin attacked the carriage as if he had crashed into evil, and even died instantly after being pierced by the sword energy? Could it stop him from heading straight for Shi Yueying without even looking at Xiao Minglou who was standing at the door of the car?

What's more, the timing of Zhang Bolin's appearance was so coincidental.

Xiao Minglou lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "I don't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world."

Qi Chang's eyes fell on his butterfly-like long eyelashes: "I don't believe it either."

Recruitment is not new, as long as it is useful.

A lady like Shi Yueying, who is a lady in the mortal world, rarely goes out, and the people she contacts are often her own family members, with a gentle and gentle temperament, and a simple mind that is easy to deceive.To be honest, even a little girl like Lan'er, who had to strengthen herself while fleeing, might be more wary than her.

But such a little girl also has an advantage, that is, she can listen to dissuasion and reason.Gentle and kind, they are accustomed to substituting the feelings of others, just as they are obviously afraid of Ah Chou in their hearts, but they obediently accept their father's arrangement, and comfort themselves by scolding the maid.

Therefore, as long as the evidence and reason are put in front of them, they can easily accept a certain conclusion.

"Is there any evidence for your inference?" Qi Chang asked thoughtfully.

"No." Xiao Minglou answered quickly, shook his head at Qi Chang first, and then smiled brightly, "Have you ever thought about why I urged you to leave quickly instead of suggesting that you wait for the Zhang family in Yucheng?"

Qi Chang frowned slightly, he shook his head, and at the same time looked at Xiao Minglou in a startled way - the matter of their departure actually concealed the handwriting of Xiao Minglou's guidance?

However, looking back at this moment, Qi Chang suddenly realized that since Xiao Minglou encouraged the two girls to go wandering around Yucheng, a seed of guilt had already been planted in their hearts.When they temporarily forget their hatred and pain, the more they immerse themselves in the scenery of Yucheng, the pain and obsession brought about by the bloody hatred will become more serious after waking up. The family avenged the Shi family.

Xiao Minglou never seemed to have considered what would happen if they passed by the Zhang family on the road, as if he had long expected that the Zhang family would take the initiative to come to the door.

Xiao Minglou, who seems to be doing nothing, has deep meaning in every step he takes lazily, making his pupils constrict and his breathing stagnate under careful thought.

Xiao Minglou didn't wait for Qi Chang to respond to him, so he asked himself a question and answered, "Because I know that the possibility of people behind the scenes choosing to attack Yucheng is very small. Anyone who lives in the inn will have the inn's mark on their body and will be protected accordingly."

That's right, Qi Chang remembered that he almost forgot that there were enchantments in the rooms of the Koi Inn.

I want to come to Yucheng not only the Koi Inn, but all the inns have similar protection methods, because Yucheng is located between the two worlds, and it is the place where there is a lot of people and there is a mix of fish and dragons. Invisible investigation and attention.

Qi Chang believes that those raindrops may be a form of interrogation, and no one can avoid all the rainwater in the rain city, even if they have an umbrella in their hands.

"So along the way, you are using Miss Shi to lure the snake out of the hole?" Qi Chang asked in a deep voice.

"This can be regarded as one aspect." Xiao Minglou twitched the corners of his mouth, and took a deep look at him, "Why, you found out that I took advantage of Ms. Shi, and felt that I was scheming, ruthless, and inconsistent, which greatly disappointed you? "

"No." Qi Chang quickly denied, speaking hastily and quickly, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood by Xiao Minglou, "I don't think it's wrong for you to do this, if the Zhang family brothers and the fourth-level Qi refining expert outside If I come directly to Yucheng to pick him up, then I will be even more powerless to protect Miss Shi."

Without the training along the way, Qi Chang would not be able to comprehend the meaning of the sword. In front of the Zhang family brothers and Gao Hong, he is just a warrior with brute strength.

But now, Qi Chang is not afraid even in the face of the fourth level of refining Qi. He doesn't know where the confidence comes from. He is confident and dares to fight Gao Hong!

Xiao Minglou propped his chin, looked at him sideways, his eyes glistened, and he said softly: "You are so cute, others will not misunderstand what I said, but you can trust me so much, There is no doubt at all."

Qi Chang met his gaze, his heart throbbed slightly, and he felt a little pain for no reason.

For some reason, a faint voice told him that there must have been a very sad story in Xiao Minglou's past, and he suffered from betrayal and distrust.

If a person has not experienced the most penetrating pain, it is absolutely impossible to have such cold eyes that seem to see through all the world.

Qi Chang grieved slightly, and blurted out: "No matter what happens, I will trust you."

The corners of Xiao Minglou's lips curled up slightly, and he didn't respond to his words, but his eyes were bright, and the brilliance in them was as bright as stars, as beautiful as two fine silver obsidian.

Seeing his expression like this, Qi Chang couldn't help but let go of the tension and depression in his heart, and a smile was unconsciously stained on his face.

"Now that the fish are caught, are you worried that they won't show their feet?" Xiao Minglou tapped his forehead with his pale fingertips, as if he was quite satisfied with his strategy.

He stretched out his other hand to the table, wanting to pour a cup of tea as usual in the inn, but when he glanced at the empty table in front of him, his eyes were blank for a moment: "Oh no, my tea tray is still on the carriage! And My luggage..."

Just now, he was only focused on getting in first to pick a good room, but he forgot that his luggage was still in the carriage.

Qi Chang was also slightly stunned, and then he suppressed a smile, but his eyes softened unconsciously.

This person is slick when he is cunning, and very cute when he is confused.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lan Er slammed on the door angrily: "Xiao Minglou! Xiao Minglou! Do you want your things? If you don't want them, I'll just throw them away!"

It turned out that Shi Yueying's master and servant, who had finished talking about the past, also boarded the treasure car. Lan Er even pinched her nose and brought Xiao Minglou's baggage with her, naturally including his precious celadon teapot and accessories porcelain cup.

Xiao Minglou was overjoyed, opened the door himself, took his burden from Lan Er with a smile on his face, and dragged her into the room, poured her a glass of water with his own small teapot, and warmly greeted her Thank you: "Thank you, Miss Lan'er."

This attitude is completely like a different person. Lan'er's whole body is stiff, her back feels cold, and she doesn't feel flattered at all. It would be more appropriate to say that it was mixed with fear.With her hands hanging on her knees, she dared not take the cup of tea that Xiao Minglou poured for her.

But the memories of all kinds of stumbles at Xiao Minglou in the past are so vivid. Looking at the smooth and moist porcelain cup, Lan Er subconsciously stretched out her hand tremblingly towards the delicate tea cup: "No...you're welcome, it's easy Forget it, I can't deserve a thank you from Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Minglou looked at her blushing face struggling to read the text, he chuckled, and teased her: "Didn't you call the door with a high air just now? Why did you suddenly become so gentle and polite? Miss Lan'er is like this, I'm sorry." I'm really not used to it."

Lan'er hurriedly shook her head to avoid Xiao Minglou's teasing gaze, feeling uncomfortable everywhere in her body.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to laugh at Xiao Minglou and Ah Chou, the two elders needed a weak woman to help with their luggage, but at this moment when the words came to her lips, she lost sight of Xiao Minglou's hearty and cheerful smile. In the end, he could only purse his lips, and swallowed the words back.

Others are so forthright and candid in pouring tea and thanking her, wouldn't she look petty if she still clings to a little thing?

"By the way, you don't know yet, we're going to Fog City to take a break later." Lan'er avoided her eyes and said without words, "The young master just saw our map, it really is that There is an error in the map, and we are already on the wrong path. But don’t worry, that Mr. Gao said that it will only take a day and a night to go to Wucheng by Wuyun treasure car, which is very convenient.”

The smile on Xiao Minglou's face had faded, but Lan'er was guilty and didn't dare to look at him very much, so she didn't realize that his expression at this time was a little unpredictable.

Xiao Minglou twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "Oh, really?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Qi Chang suddenly understood one more thing——Xiao Minglou didn't want them to go to Wucheng, and the map was deliberately made by Xiao Minglou to deviate General Zhao's route!

He wants everyone to avoid Fog City!

There must be something in the fog city, even Xiao Minglou finds it difficult.

Qi Chang really wanted to ask Xiao Minglou to prove this conjecture immediately, but Xiao Minglou didn't look at him, and turned to Lan'er and said: "Speaking of which, there is something that has troubled me for a long time, please ask Miss Lan'er to explain it to me. confused."

"You, you say." Lan'er said dryly.
