On the night when she returned to the inn, Su Huai had just struggled to climb out of the bathtub, put on her underwear, and turned her head to see a masked man sitting on her bed in silence.The man was dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold, and his mask was also mainly black, with golden patterns, looking very luxurious.

Su Huai immediately retreated behind the screen, poked her head while putting on her clothes, and asked, "Brother, did you go to the wrong room?"

The other party raised his hand, holding a white jade token in his hand, and his voice was colder than jade: "It's not wrong, I took the task and protect you."

"Are you from Qianji Pavilion?" Su Huai realized, is the efficiency so high?

"In the next thousand faces."

"Thousand-faced God Lord?" Come in person?Is Tianziling so easy to use?Yes, after all, it was bought with [-] gold.

"Well, I will protect you personally for a month." Thousand Faces God Lord stood up.

Su Huai found that Qianmian Shenjun was taller than Yuechen. It is conservatively estimated that it is 1.9 meters. It is better when sitting, and it is stronger when standing up. If you stand a little further, you can feel a sense of oppression, like lying on the side. A huge black wolf has been caught, ready to bite off anyone's neck at any time.

"Personal protection?" Su Huai stepped back: "Why close, you don't want to share a room with me, do you?"

"It's natural." Thousand Faces God Sovereign nodded as a matter of course.

"I refuse." Su Huai, like a little beast whose private territory has been violated, instantly frowned, and put on a defensive posture: "I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

God of Thousand Faces: "I can sleep on the ground."

"Not even on the ground, I can't sleep if you are in the room." Su Huai insisted on chasing people away.

God of Thousand Faces: "I can touch your sleeping point."

The point is can't sleep?The point is that I don't want to stay in the same room with you every day, brother!Su Huai was going crazy: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, you... um!!"

The Lord Thousand Faces raised his hand suddenly, and the oil lamp in the room was extinguished, instantly plunged into darkness.In the darkness, Su Huai felt a tall figure approaching him, wrapping his waist with one hand, covering his mouth with the other, leading him to a corner by the window.

Su Huai resisted and struggled desperately, using up all her breastfeeding strength, but the opponent's hands were like two iron tongs, clasping her, unable to move at all.

"Don't move, there's someone on the roof, coming this way." The cold voice sounded in Su Huai's ears, with a sense of warning, Su Huai could even feel the other party's mask rub against his earlobe.

Su Huai froze for a moment and didn't move, but Qianmian felt the person in his arms trembling slightly, as if trying to endure something.

Suddenly, darts came in through the window like raindrops of flames, illuminating the room, and then four men in black broke through the window and slashed at the two people in the corner with their knives.

Qianmian protected Su Huai behind him with one hand, grabbed the opponent's knife with the other hand, and chopped him down with his other hand. People kicked and flew out.

"Go!" Seeing that he was invincible, the man in black turned around and fled through the window, not wanting to fight.

Qianmian took a look, but did not catch up.

"Aren't you going to chase?" Su Huai's voice sounded weak.

"You can't chase, the opponent may not have only one group of people, if I go out rashly, you will be in danger."

Su Huai nodded, the fire in the room gradually went out, Qian Mian took out the fire pocket, and lit the oil lamp again.

Qian Mian turned back to look at Su Huai, Su Huai was just sitting in the corner in a daze, the corners of his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

"Are you afraid?" Qian Mian asked.

Are you scared?Su Huai thought for a while, he was afraid, but what he was afraid of was not the present, but the fear of returning to that unforgettable nightmare.

Su Huai covered her mouth, her throat felt tight, and her stomach felt sick, but she didn't spit out anything.

"What happened, are the two guests okay!" There was a knock on the door.

Su Huai opened the door, and the fragile expression on her face had been cleaned up: "A few thieves came here just now, and they have been chased away. They just broke the window in the shop. I will pay for the repair, please change the room for me."

"Hey, okay." Xiaoer nodded, turned around to arrange the room, Su Huai knocked on the door and went to the next door, Su Tong was heartless and already fast asleep, the sound of fighting just now didn't wake him up.

Changing to a new room, Qian Mian followed in again, Su Huai knew that she couldn't be driven away, so she simply asked, "Who is going to kill me?"

Qian Mian: "Ten steps, one kills the people in the building."

Su Huai: "That killer organization? Someone paid them to kill me?"

"Hmm." Qian Mian asked, "You really hate people touching you?"

Su Huai nodded: "I will recall some bad memories."

Qianmian didn't say much.When I went out, I asked Xiaoer for a set of bedding, and spread it on the floor.

"Hey, you really want to sleep here." The other party had just saved her once, and Su Huai couldn't say anything to chase him away, but the other party slept here, and he probably would have insomnia all night. Finally, Su Huai sighed: "Then put me to bed."

Qian Mian walked towards Su Huai, Su Huai lay down and closed her eyes, clutching the quilt, looking a little nervous.There seemed to be a great deal of restraint against the impending fingers.

The expected fingertip did not fall, Su Huai suddenly heard a chuckle.

Su Huai opened her eyes: "What are you laughing at?"

The other party's expression was hidden behind the mask, so I couldn't see clearly, but Su Huai always felt that there was a sense of playfulness in those eyes.

"Go to sleep." Qian Mian said, "If you really can't fall asleep, I won't be too late."

The night was quiet, and the coolness of the evening breeze came in through the window panes. The God of Thousand Faces, who could sell [-] gold for a single Tianzi order, was lying on the floor not far from him.The other party was sleeping very quietly, only the sound of long breathing could be heard.

The image of being suddenly held in the arms of the other party flashed in my mind, Su Huai thought, it seems that it has been a long, long time since I have had such close contact with someone.Thinking about the other party's embrace, it seems that it is different from the one in the nightmare, the smell, strength, and temperature are all different.Now this person, lying not far from him, is not as unbearable as he imagined.

Su Huai thought: even the world has changed, maybe he should come out of that shadow.

Su Huai didn't know when she fell asleep, but it was rare for her to have a dreamless night and sleep very deeply.

"Brother Huai, Brother Huai, are you up? I brought you breakfast!" Early the next morning, Su Tong knocked on the door of Su Huai's room with breakfast.

The door opened, and Su Tong was a little surprised: "Brother Huai woke up so early today!" After speaking, he realized that there was a man in black and a mask in front of him, who was much taller than Su Huai.

"He hasn't gotten up yet." The man dropped the words and closed the door again.

Su Huai hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, opened the door again, and called Su Tong who was still at the door, "Come in."

"Brother Huai, who is he?" Su Tong asked in a low voice.

"This is the God of Thousand Faces, who will protect me for a while." Su Huai explained.

"He is the owner of the Qianji Pavilion who sold [-] gold for one token." Su Tong's eyes lit up.

"Why, do you think his life is not worth 5 taels of gold?" Qian Mian looked at Su Tong.

Su Tong thought for a while: "That's right. But Brother Huai, have you encountered any danger recently? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"There is no danger for the time being, don't worry." Su Huai didn't talk to Su Tong about what happened last night: "If something happens to me, don't look for me, just protect yourself."

"But I also want to help you." Su Tong said dissatisfied.

"Well, when my hot pot restaurant opens, you can watch it for my brother. This is an important business. We can watch it if we don't eat meat in the future, huh?"

"Okay!" Su Tong nodded readily.

Opening a restaurant in the capital was not an easy task. From site selection to decoration, from land deeds to the employment and training of employees, and the purchase channels of ingredients, everything was a problem.However, compared to a bunch of inexplicable people and things in Jianghu, talking about business is much easier for Su Huai.

In addition, the few people before him appeared in the Wanguan Tower with King Ning, and anyone who was a little careful could find out, so they solved the most troublesome things with almost no trouble.The location was chosen in the busiest street in Fang City. The decoration was designed by Su Huai according to his favorite style. The table for eating hot pot was a bit special, so Su Huai went to a carpenter to make it for him.As for the staff, Su Huai personally trained them, fully combining the modern service concept and the people's sentiments of the Zhou Dynasty, so as to make guests feel at home.The accountant and the cook had a hard time finding a suitable candidate, but King Ning thought about Su Huai's mention that day, and sent the person to the store directly.

It took half a month for Su Huai's hot pot restaurant to open.

The killer from the ten-step-one-kill building missed a single hit, and he didn't show up again for the next few days.Qian Mian followed Su Huai all the time, but when he didn't want to be seen, even Su Huai couldn't find where he was hiding.

After the opening, there was a lot of turmoil. When he finally made a sample, his eyes were blurry from exhaustion. Fortunately, his body was very strong after practicing martial arts.

"Brother Huai, go back and rest." Su Tong brought a glass of water over and looked at Su Huai with some distress.

"I'll go back after reading the account book, you go back first, don't stay up late at a tall age." Su Huai took the water glass and put it beside her hand.

After Su Tong left, Su Huai put down the pen in his hand and thought: It's not a long-term solution to stay in the inn all the time. When the business in the inn stabilizes, it's time to buy a house in the capital.

The moon is as cool as water, and the evening breeze in autumn carries a quiet cinnamon fragrance.The streets were empty, except for the sporadic sound of night shifts.Counting the time, it was almost the curfew, so Su Huai quickened her pace.

When approaching the inn, there was a strange sound in the wind, as if some sharp weapon cut through the wind.Having had the experience of being assassinated once, it is not difficult for Su Huai to think that it is the group of people from the ten-step-one-kill-lou who came again.

"Ding ding ding!" Qian Mian appeared, threw a handful of stones in his hand, knocked down all the hidden weapons that flew in, and then supported Su Huai, jumped up to the roof: "Let's go!"
