Yique County is a small county next to the capital Luoyang, sixty miles away from Luoyang City. It is named because there is Yique Pass, one of the "Eight Passes of Luoyang" in the county.

There is a small inn near Yiqueguan, named Zhangshun Inn. It got its name because the owner of the inn is named Zhang Shun, because the inn is close to Yiqueguan, and Yiqueguan is the way from Luoyang to the south. There are not a few tourists traveling from south to north, but the business has always been prosperous, and they can earn a lot of money a year.

Zhang Shun is an honest person, and has always adhered to the principle of making money with harmony. He has never blushed with others, and rarely caused trouble. Therefore, Zhang Shun's Inn has always been safe and sound, and he has never even been on official errands. door once.

But this evening, just as Zhang Shun was about to close the door, there was a sudden noise at the door. Before Zhang Shun could react, a large group of people who looked like officials rushed into the lobby of the store, instantly crowding the small lobby to the brim.

Zhang Shun was so frightened that his complexion turned pale in an instant. He didn't know where these people came from and what their purpose was. Just about to open his mouth to ask a question, a man who looked like a military officer gave him a hard look and said viciously to him: "Kirin Guard Handle the case, the idlers should disperse as soon as possible!"

As soon as he heard the word "Kirin Guard", and saw that there was indeed a huge unicorn embroidered on the official uniforms of these people, Zhang Shun was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, his teeth chattered, and he almost collapsed on the ground.He didn't understand how he would provoke the Qilin guards to come to his door since he had always kept his own place.

Some tenants upstairs heard the movement downstairs and wanted to come down to check the situation, but when they heard the word Qilinwei from a distance, they turned around and ran back to their rooms in fright, locked the door behind them, and silently asked the gods in their hearts. The Buddha prayed that Qilinwei would never go upstairs, and even if he went upstairs, he would not come to his room. If he could escape this catastrophe, he would be a vegetarian for life and would not be close to women.

And in a room at the end of the corridor, a young man and woman turned pale with fright, and their faces were full of panic. They hugged each other tightly at a corner of the bed, as if they were in imminent disaster.

But after the Qilin Guard downstairs rushed into the store, he just blocked all the entrances and exits upstairs and downstairs, and then stood motionless in their positions like sculptures, without making any further moves.

Zhang Shun was terrified, and was about to ask a question, but the officer glared at him fiercely, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, let alone move, so he had to stand stupidly with the Qilin guards.

Not long after, there was a "da da da" sound of horseshoes outside the door, and then a luxuriously dressed young man and a middle-aged general with a chilling aura entered the lobby one after another. It was Xiao Jie and Qilin Guard Commander Zhang Chu.

They also received a tip from the spy of Qilin Guard in Yique County, saying that a young man and woman had been found in a small inn near Yique Pass, very similar to Sun Chang and Li Wan who were asked to search secretly.

Some Jinwu guards guarding Yingtianmen in the southern city of Luoyang also said that they had seen a young man and woman who had left Luoyang through Yingtianmen.

Based on the principle of preferring to believe what is there rather than not to believe what is not, Xiao Jie and Zhang Chu hurried out of the city with a group of Qilin guards, and finally arrived at Zhangshun Inn at sunset.

When Xiao Jie entered the lobby of the inn, he immediately saw Zhang Shun, the owner of the inn who was trembling behind the counter. He smiled slightly and walked forward slowly. All the Qilin guards gave way to Xiao Jie.

Although Zhang Shun had never seen him before, judging from Xiao Jie's clothing and the attitude of the other Qilin guards towards him, he knew that Xiao Jie's identity must not be simple. I can't even stand still.

Xiao Jie walked to the counter and could see Zhang Shun's uneasiness and nervousness, so he asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Your name is Zhang Shun, right? Don't be afraid. We are here just to find two people. As long as you cooperate with us obediently, we will not make things difficult for you."

Hearing that the other party gave his name accurately, Zhang Shun felt even more frightened. He wanted to open his mouth to respond, but he was too nervous to say a word, so he nodded vigorously, expressing that he was very willing to cooperate with Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, waved his hand, and then a Qilin guard stepped forward, spread the two portraits in front of Zhang Shun, and then retreated.

"Boss, have you seen the two people above?" Although Xiao Jie asked this sentence with a smile, his gaze was fixed on Zhang Shun's face, as if any change in his expression could not escape his eyes.

The boss didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly lowered his head to look, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and his face twitched unconsciously.

Of course he recognized a man and a woman in the portrait. These two also stayed in his inn a few days ago. The man even gave him some money in private, saying that he and his wife were being hunted down by the enemy. If someone asked , be sure to say that you have not seen them.

Zhang Shun didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but the two of them didn't look like bad guys, and they were so generous in their actions. Based on the principle that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and for the sake of money, Zhang Shun finally I still agreed to this matter, and I was still a little happy in my heart, after all, I can earn a few dollars a month with this small inn.

But Zhang Shun never expected that the enemy in the mouths of these young people was actually the Qilin Guard, which was an existence that people in the world feared to avoid. If he fell into their hands, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

But when he thought that he had accepted the young man's money again, and if he betrayed him, Zhang Shun felt very sorry for his conscience.

Xiao Jie could see the entanglement and struggle in Zhang Shun's heart, and he already had the answer in his heart, so he smiled lightly, but his tone was very stern: "Boss, we don't want to embarrass you, but you don't want to embarrass us either."

Zhang Shun heard the threatening meaning in Xiao Jie's words, and the fear in his heart finally defeated the kindness in his heart. Based on the principle that if I don't go to hell, whoever will follow suit, Zhang Shun finally whispered: "The two of them Live in the room on the right at the end of the corridor on the second floor."

Having said that, Zhang Shun immediately lowered his head, his face felt ashamed, and his heart was very disturbed, after all, it was really uncomfortable to take someone's money and sell it back.

Xiao Jie didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Shun's uneasy conscience, he just asked the other unicorn guards to stay downstairs, and he walked upstairs in a leisurely manner.

On the second floor, Sun Chang and Li Wan heard footsteps from far to near outside the door, and hugged each other even tighter. They could only silently pray that the shop owner would not betray them for the sake of the money. .

But with a light knock on the door, the last illusion in their hearts was finally shattered.

Sun Chang wanted to pretend he wasn't there, but he thought that the shop owner had already confessed to the two of them, and there was no way to hide, and he was afraid that the other party would forcefully rush in and scare Li Wan in his arms, so he had the courage to rush outside the door and shout harshly, "Who is there?" Knock?"

The knocking on the door stopped, and then came a young man's voice: "Cousin Sun Chang, don't be nervous, I am your cousin."

Sun Chang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. Their Sun family has always had more males than females, and his father only has one sister, Empress Sun. When did he have an extra cousin?

In an instant, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized who it was standing outside the door...
