After the guards and servants of Xijianlin followed up non-stop, they found that their master was driving with a carriage.

This carriage doesn't look like anything special, it's just the kind that couldn't be more ordinary.

But when these people thought of the fearful and painful gangsters they saw on the ground not long ago, based on the actual situation, it should be the people on this carriage. Based on this alone, they dare not underestimate them.

Xi Jianlin's personal servant rode forward and asked Xi Jianlin very intimately: "Master, are you thirsty, do you want some water or something to eat?"

Xi Jianlin waved his hand and refused.

At this time, Fu Zhenhong had already sat back in the carriage, and Xi Jianlin was so focused on the piece that Pan Jinlian taught him just now that he had no time to drink water or eat at all.

Wu Zhi glanced at the young man, then cast another look at Xi Jianlin, and said in a neutral tone: "We only agree that you can accompany him alone."

Xi Jianlin heard Wu Zhi's overtones, and he said to the valet who followed him, "Back back, stay with other people, and keep a distance of 500 meters."

This young man has been following Ximen Qing's side all the time, and he is also a master who is very good at observing words and expressions. After hearing what Xi Jianlin said, he didn't ask anything, so he retreated obediently, and let the team and the people in front of him follow what Xi Jianlin said. The carriage has always maintained a distance of about 500 meters.

Since the road ahead was covered with mountains and forests, in order not to make the carriage look bumpy, Wu Zhi slowed down the speed of the horse and controlled the direction so that he could move forward more smoothly.

In this way, the carriage traveled for half an hour.When we were about to turn over this mountain forest, the sky began to darken, and the originally clear sky gradually darkened.

A strong wind blew up all around, and the blowing branches whirled, and the dust on the ground was rolled up, forming a somewhat turbid wind and sand.

Obviously, this is a sign of heavy rain.

Wu Zhi looked up at the cloud-covered sky, and whispered to Fu Zhenhong in the carriage, "It's going to rain today, I'll speed up and reach the foot of the mountain as soon as possible."

Fu Zhenhong heard the words, lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the gray sky, and replied: "Okay."

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, there should be an inn where you can stay.

According to the map prepared by Fu Zhenhong from Wu Zhi, after passing this mountain forest, about a hundred kilometers ahead, is Shuilan County.

Shuilan County is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and the county lives up to its name.

There are also many rivers and streams in the county. The water is clean and clear, and the waves in the sun will emit sparkling brilliance.

In Shuilan County, most of the houses and pavilions are built on the water, or on both sides of the river.The entire Shuilan County gives people the feeling of small bridges and flowing water, which is quite a bit like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, although Wu Zhi speeded up his journey, it still didn't fall as fast as the rain.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, light rain began to fall.Because it was just the beginning, the rain was not heavy, but judging from the drowsy sky and the heavy thunder, it was not difficult to deduce that a storm was coming.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi saw an inn ahead, he held the reins tightly, and speeded up while wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

As for Xijianlin, as early as after the first thunder sounded, he returned to his team and sat in the carriage in order to avoid being chilled by the heavy rain.

At the entrance of the inn, Wu Zhi didn't come down immediately, but looked up at the name on the inn's plaque.

After seeing these words clearly, Wu Zhi pursed his lips slightly, and thought flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Fu Zhenhong also lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, followed Wu Zhi's line of sight, and paused slightly after seeing the big characters written on the inn's plaque.

On the vermilion plaque, there were three words written impartially—waiting for someone to come.

These three words are really weird as the name of an inn.

Wu Zhi looked back at Fu Zhenhong, lowered his eyes slightly, and asked his opinion: "Is this the only one?"

Although he wore a bamboo hat on his head, Wu Zhi's hair was still wet from the rain, and the silver mask was also stained with shiny and translucent raindrops.

Because of the slightly downcast movement, a few drops of rain still hung on his thick black eyelashes, which added a bit of clear but deep contradictory beauty to the dark pupils.

Fu Zhenhong took another look at the water mark on Wu Zhi's shoulder, and then replied, "Let's just go to this one."

Wu Zhi nodded: "Okay."

While they were talking, Xijianlin's team also arrived at the inn.

There were only two people, Wu Zhi and Fu Zhenhong, but there were about twenty people on Xijianlin's side.As soon as twenty or so of them arrived at the inn, there was a lot of commotion, and soon, a man walked out of the inn.

The man looked to be in his thirties, of medium height, with a jersey around his head and a tablecloth over his shoulders, dressed like a waiter in a shop.

Wu Zhi got off his horse, and said to the shop waiter who came up to them, "Stay in the shop."

The shop waiter responded with a smile: "Okay." Although he was responding to Wu Zhi, his eyes kept falling on Fu Zhenhong who got off the carriage.

A look of amazement appeared in the eyes of the waiter in the shop, followed by a more complicated emotion, like greed, obsession, and pity.

Wu Zhi's face under the mask sank, he used his body to block the waiter's gaze calmly, and said in a cold voice, "Lead the way."

The shop clerk then retracted his gaze, immediately turned his body, lowered his head, and made a gesture of inviting Wu Zhi to come in: "Two guest officers, please come in, someone is greeting you inside."

Wu Zhi put his lips next to Fu Zhenhong's ear, and reminded with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "There is something wrong with this store, please pay more attention."

Fu Zhenhong hummed lightly.

While Wu Zhi and Fu Zhenhong were talking in each other's ears, the shop waiter couldn't help but look up at Fu Zhenhong again.His eyes fell on Fu Zhenhong's flawless side face, the back molars moved, as if thirsty, he rolled his Adam's apple.

When Wu Zhi noticed his gaze and looked at him coldly, he lowered his head instantly.

Wu Zhi frowned slightly, his chin tightened, and he slightly reached out to hold Fu Zhenhong's hand, wrapping Fu Zhenhong's hand in his palm.

Fu Zhenhong felt the heat coming from his hand, and looked at Wu Zhi who was standing beside him, and Wu Zhi was staring at him with lowered eyes, their eyes met, Wu Zhi held Fu Zhenhong's hand tightly, and lowered his Said loudly: "Let's go, go in first."

Fu Zhenhong nodded.

After Wu Zhi and Fu Zhenhong stepped into the inn together, the waiter who had lowered his head raised his head again. He looked straight at Fu Zhenhong's back, with fierceness and greed in his eyes.

And this scene was seen by Xi Jianlin who was standing behind, his handsome brows were also frowned, and then he whispered something to the servant beside him.

The valet nodded, and then whispered Xi Jianlin's words to the others.

This "waiting for someone to come" inn has a large interior space, and the overall structure is surrounded by four sides.

There are two floors, the first floor is the dining table, and the second floor is the guest room.However, the middle of the second floor is empty, forming a quadrilateral with equal distances, and a fence is erected on it. You can stand on the aisle on the second floor and look down.

Before Fu Zhenhong, Wu Zhi, and Xi Jianlin came in, there were no other guests in the inn.After they came in, the originally deserted inn suddenly became lively.

At this time, the shop waiter who greeted Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi at the beginning came over, bowed slightly to Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi and said, "Both of you, please go to the counter and register for the guest room."

Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi looked at the counter when they heard the words.

Wu Zhi asked: "Where is your store manager?"

The shop waiter replied: "The two go over first, and the shop manager will come down soon."

Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi glanced at each other, then walked to the counter together.At this time, Wu Zhi still did not let go of Fu Zhenhong's hand.

Xi Jianlin, who randomly found a wooden stool and sat down, clicked his tongue lightly when he saw Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi's handshake, and then looked away, out of sight and out of mind.

After Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi walked to the counter, Wu Zhi let go of Fu Zhenhong's gesture.The two waited in front of the counter for another minute, and a male voice came from the direction of the second floor—"I kept you two waiting for a long time."

The voice sounded quite elegant, and the tone could be called gentle, but there was a feeling of sickness and weakness.

Fu Zhenhong, Wu Zhi, Xi Jianlin and the others all looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young gentleman walking down the steps from the second floor step by step.

The young man was thin and handsome, but his complexion was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun all year round, giving him a somewhat gloomy and dead feeling.

His lips were bloodless, and he was wearing a purple luxurious brocade robe, a pure white fox fur, his hair was tied up with a crown, and he was holding a pure white handkerchief in his hand.

Obviously, this weak-looking young man is the manager of this inn.

Xi Jianlin frowned, instinctively rejecting this man who made him look very uncomfortable.

The young man walked to the counter, and his eyes swept to Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi. When his eyes touched Fu Zhenhong, he paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "How many rooms do you two want?" When he said this, there was a faint smile on his face.

However, the smile that was supposed to be pleasant and courteous looked a bit weird because of his pale lips and lackluster face.

Wu Zhi said: "One room."

Hearing this, the young master glanced at Wu Zhi, then at Fu Zhenhong, and said, "It's raining heavily today, and the inn has plenty of rooms. You two can spend the price of one room and stay for two..."

Before the young man finished speaking, Wu Zhi interrupted him: "No need."

Seeing this, the young man stopped talking.

Soon according to what Wu Zhi said, rooms were arranged for Wu Zhi and Fu Zhenhong.

After the waiter in the store led Wu Zhi and Fu Zhenhong upstairs, Xi Jianlin waved to his personal servant, Xiao Jiu.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu immediately came to Xi Jianlin's side, leaned down and put her ear to Xi Jianlin: "Master, tell me."

Xi Jianlin said: "Go and book my room next to those two people just now." As for which two people they are, it is self-evident.

Xiao Jiu paused for a moment when he heard the words, then he glanced at Xi Jianlin, then nodded and said: "I will do as the master says."

Xi Jianlin nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go."

Looking at Xiao Jiu who moved swiftly, Xi Jianlin thought to himself that this young man was quite clever.

But Xiao Jiu thought, it seems that after his master lost his memory, not only his temperament changed, but his taste also changed.The object of liking has changed from a woman to a man, and is still a married man.

But Xiaojiu thought again, the husband of the Wu family is so beautiful, if you look at him a few more times, you will feel your heart beating faster, and it is normal for the master to take a fancy to him.
