The villain is too beautiful! The hero is in love again
Chapter 271: Ghost Marriage: Twin Prisoners 31
The shopkeeper who was dozing off suddenly heard a noise, quickly opened his eyes, and began to greet the guests reflexively.
"Yes, yes, there are two empty rooms upstairs."
"Then please open one for me, and bring up a meal and a bucket of hot water."
"Okay, go up the stairs and it's the second room on the left."
"Food and hot water need to be prepared. We'll bring them to you when they're ready~"
"In that case, thank you very much, boss."
When Manager Li saw the man's attire, he knew that he was a scholar going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
His words and actions were very kind, making him feel like spring breeze.
Even the dissatisfaction caused by being disturbed just now disappeared without a trace, and he waved his hand and replied
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
After Jiang Wanyi arrived on the second floor, he pushed open the door of the room the shopkeeper mentioned and put down the box.
Look around.
In the small room, besides a table, there is a simple and clean bed.
There is no more.
However, it is already good to be able to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the wilderness, and now it is even better to be able to sleep in a bed and have food to eat.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Li brought food and hot water. After Jiang Wanyi finished his meal, he simply washed up.
After a day's journey, I felt exhausted all of a sudden.
It was just a short while after I fell asleep, I heard a loud noise coming from downstairs.
Jiang Wanyi turned around and wanted to go back to sleep, but he was a light sleeper and couldn't do so.
I had no choice but to put on my coat, open the door, and stand at the railing looking down from top to bottom.
The lobby that was empty just now was now filled with a group of people wearing armor, masks on their faces, and in very uniform clothes.
The leader was a burly and tall man, and he lowered his head when he entered the door of Qingfeng Inn.
"Master, this is the only inn here. I may have to ask you to stay here for the time being tonight."
"Um"
Jiang Wanyi was shocked. Although he was wearing a mask, his voice and figure were exactly the same as Meng Hanzhi's.
Not to mention those deep eyes.
Perhaps noticing the gaze from upstairs, the masked man in the lead raised his head and glanced in Jiang Wanyi's direction.
Jiang Wanyi quickly took a few steps back.
Because he dodged in time, Meng Hanzhi only saw the white corner of the clothes flash by. He knocked on the scabbard at his waist and asked Manager Li:
"Who lives upstairs?"
Shopkeeper Li looked at the people who came and saw that they all had sharp blades in their hands and their aura was very scary.
Especially the one in the lead, the people behind him followed not too far away, behaving extremely respectfully.
I guess those who can wear armor are all high-ranking officials.
Shopkeeper Li collected his scattered thoughts and excused Jiang Wanyi upstairs, based on the idea that everyone who comes is a guest, harmony brings wealth, and bloodshed is not a good idea.
"Sir, I don't know what happened tonight, but many candidates came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. They are all weak scholars with little courage. If I have accidentally offended you, please forgive me~"
Meng Hanzhi withdrew his gaze and removed his hand from the scabbard, as if he had accepted what Manager Li said.
"Bring us some good wine and good food! Clean up a few more rooms. Money is not a problem."
After saying that, he threw a bag full of money to Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li's face lit up with joy. The room was not a problem. He needed to keep watch at night anyway, so it was fine for him to stay in the lobby all night.
He can free up the room he lives in and the storage room.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The crisis was over, Jiang Wanyi held his breath and carefully retreated back to the room, his slightly trembling fingertips revealing his inner anxiety and fear.
If he had just guessed that the person was Meng Hanzhi, now he was almost certain.
He hurriedly locked the door of the room, sat at the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it in big gulps.
Jiang Wanyi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He reminded himself to stay calm and not be swayed by fear.
However, despite his efforts to control himself, the anxiety in his heart was still difficult to calm.
How come Meng Hanzhi is here?
Dressed like this again?
At this moment, a series of clearly audible footsteps suddenly came from the door and stopped at his door.
Jiang Wanyi's face turned pale, and his eyes were fixed on the locked door.
It was not until the sound of a door opening and closing came from the next room that I finally calmed down my heart, which was about to jump out of my throat.
He escaped from the Meng Mansion this time, and he didn't know how Meng Yanzhi would react.
As for the building, few people go there.
It would be fine if Meng Hanzhi didn’t know, but if he already knew, he would most likely be caught immediately once he was exposed!
Jiang Wanyi's face was full of confusion, and he was torn between being captured and sleeping in the mountains.
Not to mention the snakes, insects, rats and ants that are likely to appear in the forest at night.
For example, it snowed last night. If he really had to camp in the mountains, he might freeze to death if he couldn't find a place to stay in such a cold temperature.
What's worse, if he encountered a ghost running around outside, and Chunniang and the other three souls were not there, if he accidentally made eye contact with them, he would be in real trouble for no reason.
Moreover, Meng Hanzhi is a meticulous person. If he leaves now, it will easily alert the enemy.
Jiang Wanyi thought for a long time and decided to leave the hotel early tomorrow morning to avoid meeting Meng Hanzhi.
The next day, Jiang Wanyi got up early at the sound of roosters crowing before dawn.
He took out the box of black ointment and reapplied it all over his exposed arms, hands, neck and face.
If he wasn't afraid of running out of time and the ointment was a bit sticky, he would have wanted to apply it all over his body.
The truth is that Meng Hanzhi was too intimidating to him, and his behavior was too arrogant and selfish.
No rules or etiquette can control him. He always does things according to his own mood. He is even more difficult to deal with than Meng Yanzhi.
'Squeak'
The old wooden door was pushed open with a lingering sound.
Meng Hanzhi, who was sleeping in the next room, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
His sharp eagle eyes were filled with red bloodshot, as if he had not slept all night, and he looked extremely tired and haggard.
Fireworks Town was searched thoroughly, but Jiang Wanyi was not found.
She is a woman, and if she didn't return to the Jiang family, where could she have gone?
These days, Meng Hanzhi has been investigating day and night, but has not found any clues.
At this time, news came from the capital asking him to return and report.
Meng Hanzhi clenched his hands, a murderous look on his face.
After Jiang Wanyi disappeared, this uncontrollable feeling constantly troubled him.
Only one team could be left in Fireworks Town to continue the search.
Jiang Wanyi took advantage of the foggy night in the early morning to take a look at the Qingfeng Inn behind him, and quickened his pace.
Meng Han only has a horse, but he only has a pair of legs.
In order not to be caught up, I had to rush forward desperately.
But things did not go as planned. Not long after, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
