Chapter 106 Red Jade Ring 13
"This is an old map from 20 years ago that I found after searching in Bookstore for a long time. It's not unusual for 20 years to bring down the prosperity." Ji Henian replied.

"But...it's too strange to fall so fast." Han Chu frowned slightly, and his intuition told him that this place was not simple.

Lingyao didn't speak, there was a weirdness everywhere, originally she didn't want to eat and sleep in the open, but now in such a dilapidated town, she didn't know if she could find an inn.

"Hey, you guys, are you looking for an inn?" Out of nowhere came a man in coarse clothes, holding a hoe, as if he had just come back from the ground.

"It's getting dark. If you are looking for an inn, go south. There is an inn there. It is the only place where you can stay." The man said, "It takes one to ride a fast horse from this town to the nearest village. time, and there are often wild wolves on the way, I advise you, you should stay here!"

After speaking, he walked past them with a hoe, not even waiting for their answer.

He passed by Lingyao, but Lingyao said: "Brother, did you just come back from going to the field?"

"Otherwise?!" The man felt confused, "I'm going to kill the chicken with my hoe!"

After finishing speaking, there was a "cut", as if he had just said something nonsense.

"Since he told us, let's go to the so-called inn, and we can't hurry up and down, otherwise we will spend a lot of energy when we meet the wild wolf he mentioned." Ji Henian said, "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the south. Tian Yao and Han Chu looked at each other in blank dismay and followed.

Lingyao looked back and saw that the man turned a corner and disappeared, so he ignored him and followed the large army.

The so-called inn didn't even have a plaque. If the waiter at the inn hadn't seen them wandering around in this area, seeing them unfamiliar, and came over to ask, they wouldn't even know it was an inn.

"Guests don't know, our place is poor, and ordinary inns and teahouses can't continue to open, so my boss has some money to open such an inn, so that the passing guests can have a rest." He is very polite, " I'll tie your horses for you guys, please come in!"

Ji Henian was the first to walk in. It was quite clean, but there was no one there.

He looked around and said, "Is anyone there?"

This empty place was even terrifyingly quiet. The curtain at the back was lifted, and a coquettishly dressed woman came out and greeted her with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little out of touch. I'm sorry, everyone."

She was wearing a tight-fitting bright red dress, and on her head was a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, which tied her hair. She looked to be in her thirties, and she was at the age when she still had charm.

"We want the cheapest room among the four rooms, and dinner will be served in this hall. I wonder what dishes you have?" Ji Henian asked.

"In our remote town, all the guests have to make do with it. The cooks are all written on the wooden board on the wall. Just tell me what to eat later." The proprietress said with a smile.

Ling Yao glanced lightly, and found that she was actually wearing rouge.

Ji Henian asked about everyone's taste, ordered the dishes according to the money he was carrying, and said: "Have a good rest after eating later, and we will set off at nine o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay." Han Chu and Tianyao had no objections, and Lingyao naturally didn't say much.

"Hey, why is this little lady still wearing soap gauze?" The proprietress looked at Lingyao and smiled, "Why, I'm afraid she looks too good-looking and will cause trouble?"

"She is ugly and has no face. She is afraid of scaring others." Han Chu said lightly, "If not, we will go to rest first. If you have prepared a meal, please call us."

"Naturally." The proprietress smiled.

Lingyao did not go to her room, but followed Han Chu into his room.

Han Chu turned around, saw that she was closing the door humbly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I feel a little strange, don't you think?" Lingyao sat down and said, "The uncle who gave us directions said he was a farmer, but his hoe was covered with mottled rust. seldom used."

"You mean... he brought us here on purpose?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Ling Yao said, "But there is one thing you should know."

Han Chu was thinking carefully about what she said. When he heard what she said, he subconsciously asked: "What?"

"Does your Tianqing Sect have any mosquitoes that bite people? I woke up this morning and found that my mouth was swollen." Lingyao said, feeling aggrieved, "It seems to be better now."

Han Chu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. The light was dim and there were no candles burning in the room. Lingyao couldn't see his expression clearly and could only hear him saying "I don't know" vaguely.

There was a knock on the door, and it was the shop waiter: "Guest officer, you can go downstairs for dinner."

"Okay." Han Chu agreed. Hearing the footsteps getting further away, he said, "Let's go, let's go have a meal first."

A few people had just rested upstairs for a while. They were exhausted from the day's journey, and they just wanted to finish their dinner quickly so that they could have a good rest.

Tianyao sat down and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, but saw that Lingyao was wearing a veil and was not moving, so she said: "Palace Master Shen, now that we are having dinner, will you take off your veil?"

Lingyao didn't speak. She glanced at the back kitchen and saw that there was no one, so she took off her hairpin, turned it lightly, and a small silver needle fell out of it.

Everyone knew what she meant, and they were relieved when they saw that Lingyao had tried several dishes one by one, and the silver needle did not change.

"Palace Master Shen is really cautious." Tian Yao said something, not knowing whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

Lingyao ignored it, took a steamed bun and went upstairs alone.

When she arrived in her room, she took off her veil and chewed the steamed buns in small bites. Suddenly, she seemed to hear the neighing of a horse, and she felt suspicious. She put down the steamed buns and opened the window, but she couldn't see anything.

Not knowing where the stables are, Lingyao had no choice but to step on the window sill, and with a light jump, went up to the roof.

The stables were on the other side of their room, so they couldn't see them.

It turned out that the waiter was feeding the horses, Lingyao felt relieved, and felt something was wrong just as she was about to go back, she suddenly turned her head and saw the proprietress looking at her with her head up and smiling in the yard.

Feeling embarrassed to be caught, Lingyao pretended not to notice, jumped down the stairs, and stood in front of the proprietress.

"Tonight's food is delicious, I wonder if I can meet that cook?" Ling Yao asked.

"He has an ugly face and is not suitable for seeing people." The proprietress smiled, "Girl, it's wrong for you to walk around the rivers and lakes like this. You have to be suspicious when you see everyone. Are you too suspicious and judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"
