Abuse reformation

As the sun sets, a patch of residual red sprinkles on the official road.

A jet-black carriage drove from afar in the glow of the sky.The sound of horseshoes echoed continuously in this silent valley.

Suddenly, a man's deep voice came from the carriage: "Stop."

Hearing the sound, the men driving the carriage quickly tightened the reins.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

However, the person in the car opened the curtain, and a pair of sharp eyes that did not match his age and temperament were embedded in an old wrinkled face, which made his face even more sinister.

"There's someone ahead."

The subordinates couldn't help but stagnate, and some people are not surprised.After all, it is not far from Yongping Town, and there are villages in the nearby mountains.I don't know why Master Guoshi is so vigilant.Moreover, this trip is a private visit in plain clothes, so it should not be discovered by others.

As he was thinking, he heard dull footsteps in the distance.A few woodcutters were tremblingly walking towards them with loads of firewood.

"Master Guoshi, it's just a few woodcutters."

The National Teacher in the car naturally saw it too.

Even if the eyesight of this body is aging, it is enough for him to see the person coming.It's just a few mountain peasants.

Could it be that he was overthinking?

Mang Yuan narrowed his eyes, waved his hands to signal his subordinates to continue on their way.

No one knew that at the moment he lowered the curtain, one of the passing woodcutters suddenly raised his head and glanced back at him.If you look closely, the pupil colors of his two eyes are actually different.

One is as black as ink and bottomless, and the other is gray-blue as if covered with a layer of white mist.

Looking at the jet-black carriage that was gradually going away into a group of smaller spots in the distance, the man withdrew his gaze and then stopped in place.However, the woodcutters who were walking with him didn't notice it at all, and continued to move forward, joking and joking.

Zhuge put down the shoulder pole, took out a small whistle from his arms, and blew it lightly.He saw a small kingfisher fly from a distant forest and land on his hand.

With thin bamboo tubes tied behind its ankles, the kingfisher automatically flapped its wings and flew forward across the forest.

The moon was sparse, and there was a slow sound of horseshoes in the dark forest.

Wu Qi had already driven the carriage for a long time in the woods, but he still couldn't find the way out.

Could it be that he went the wrong way?

How can this be good?

Now that it was getting dark, if they couldn't find a place to stay, wouldn't they have to spend the night in the dense forest in the wilderness today?

He himself doesn't care, but the master of the country...

I don't know if a sick and weak body like Master Guoshi can deal with it in a carriage for a night

When he was thinking wildly, he heard a voice from the carriage behind him: "Wu Qi, didn't you say that Yongping Town will arrive soon?"

Hearing the question from Master Guoshi, Wu Qi naturally didn't dare to hide anything, but simply admitted his mistake: "My lord, it's all because of my carelessness, I seem to have gone the wrong way just now..."

Seeing that the other party didn't say a word, Wu Qi couldn't help but pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "My lord, why don't we just rest here tonight and find another way out tomorrow?"

The people in the carriage were silent for a while, and said: "That's not necessary. There is an inn five miles ahead. Let's rest there tonight."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qi was stunned.A look of surprise and admiration flashed across his face.

Can this be figured out?Worthy of being a national teacher!

While sighing in his heart, Wu Qi hurriedly said "yes", and then drove on the road.

The five-mile journey is not long or short, but it is really a bit reluctant for the horse who has been tired for a day.Just when the horse was about to lose its hold, an inn with a few dimly lit lanterns was hidden in a bamboo forest not far away.

Wu Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, "My lord, the station is here!"

The carriage stopped suddenly, and got out of the carriage along the pedal wilderness.

Looking at the old plaque in front of him that said "Yuelai Inn", he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Although he had indeed found a place to stay, he always felt that this inn was a little weird.There is no inn opened in the woods in the wilderness, it is probably not a black shop, right?

Compared with Mang Yuan's caution, Wu Qi didn't seem to think too much.Straight away, he untied the horse from the cart and took it to the stable for feeding.

Mang Yuan glanced at the joyous silly boy in the distance, but said nothing.He just walked in towards the store door.

Forget it, a black shop is a black shop.He didn't care anyway.

If the shopkeeper really wanted to rob people and steal them, he would make him regret being born in this world.

……

Pushing open the door, I saw seven or eight tall and thick men sitting in the lobby of the inn, drinking and punching, and there were several machetes beside their tables.

On the counter behind, the shopkeeper was looking down at his abacus, while the young waiter was cleaning the table.

Seeing the door open, everyone turned their heads and looked over, meeting their eyes.

For a moment, the lively atmosphere froze.

Even if he was stared at by a group of people, Mang Yuan was still unafraid.At this time, Wu Qi, who had set up the horses, came in from the outside, and when he saw the scene in the inn, he couldn't help but give a sudden pause.Seeing this, he immediately suppressed the relaxed smile on his face, clenched the saber around his waist with his right hand, and stared at the group of people in front of him.

At this moment, a male voice full of vitality suddenly came from beside my ear——

"Guest officer, are you a top player or a hotel?"

Turning around to look, at some point, the waiter in the shop greeted him with a smile.

Mang Yuan glanced at him, compared to the general shop waiter, this one in front of him was really handsome.

With long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he is about eighteen or nineteen years old.He looks like a scholar, but the sly wit in his eyes is not like that of ordinary scholars, but more like a person who is used to crawling in the market.

It's just... such a character would actually be a waiter in this kind of place?

Mang Yuan withdrew his gaze calmly, and gestured two fingers, "I need two upper rooms."

When the shop waiter heard this, apology flashed across his face, "I'm really sorry, guest officer, all the upper rooms in this shop have been taken by these masters, and there are still a few ordinary rooms vacant, look..."

Hearing this, Wu Qi frowned, and then said: "We pay twice the price, you ask them to give up one room."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the drinking men in the lobby suddenly sank.They slammed the wine bowl heavily, slapped the table and said, "Boy! What did you say?"

Seeing that the opponent seemed to be going to fight hard, Wu Qi immediately clenched the hilt of his sword.Just when he was about to make a move, he saw the master of the state teacher beside him raised his hand to stop him.

Before Wu Qi could open his mouth, he saw the expression of the person in front of him change, and immediately bowed his hands to the group of people in front of him, and said modestly: "My servants are used to being rude, so I apologize to you all. I hope you are good guys!" My lord does not remember the faults of a villain, so don't bother with him. I just passed by this place today because I just want to have a place to stay overnight, and I don't want to cause trouble."

"How about this, everyone's drink money tonight will be counted on my account. It's right that I apologize to everyone on his behalf."

This gift is also compensated, and I apologize.There was no reason for the big men to show their power.Hearing this, he could only sit down angrily.

Seeing Mang Yuan turned his head and said to Xiao Er: "Since there are no more guest rooms, let's come to two ordinary guest rooms. Then I will send some food up."

Originally, the shop waiter seemed a little afraid to speak when he saw the tense atmosphere between the two parties, but now he was relieved when he saw the new guest officer say so.He hurriedly said, "Two guest officials, please come upstairs."

Seeing such a weird behavior of Master Guoshi, Wu Qi just felt puzzled.He wanted to ask, but was swept away by the other party's cold eyes, so he had to take a break for a while.

After entering the guest room and closing the door, before Wu Qi could speak, Mang Yuan said seriously: "There is a problem with this store."

Hearing this, Wu Qi suddenly froze.I began to recall everything that happened from before I entered the door to after I entered the door. When I think about it carefully, there are indeed some weird things.

How can there be an inn in such a remote place?Does this look like it's serious to open a shop and do business?

And they made such a fuss just now, if it were a normal store, they would have been too anxious to sit still, for fear that they would smash their own store.But the innkeeper didn't even lift his head.

This is too unreasonable.

Unless he doesn't worry about the store being smashed at all...

Thinking about it carefully, that group of people seemed fierce, but when they clashed with him just now, at most they smashed a bowl and didn't even move the stool and table.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi was suddenly blessed.

Maybe the big men who made trouble just now are with the store owner!

Compared with the obvious flaws discovered by Wu Qi, Mang principle used some demon power to investigate the whole inn after entering the door.It turned out that there were Mongolian sweat medicine and drugs in the kitchen!

Although he has demonic power to protect his body and is not afraid of these things, Wu Qi, a mortal, is not.

Although mortals are nothing more than food to him, there is still room for this Wu Qi.

His current strength is not as good as before.Without this kid, it would be inconvenient for him to do many things by himself.After all, it is hard to find a fool who is easy to deceive like him.

Thinking about it, Mang Yuan ordered: "Don't eat or drink anything when the food is delivered later."

Wu Qi has always respected the national teacher very much, and basically obeys what he says.But even so, he was still stunned after hearing this sentence.

"Since you think there is something wrong with this store, why did you ask the waiter to bring food?"

"Otherwise, how can we reassure them of their doubts? You have to do a full set of acting. And..."

Seeing Mang Yuan smiled, "We have to take a hostage here. Otherwise, how will we sleep peacefully tonight?"

Hearing this, Wu Qi opened his mouth wide, showing a dazed expression, "You want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a knock on the door——

"Dong dong dong."

Mang Yuan stretched out his finger to his lips to signal him to keep quiet.

Seeing that there was no answer in the room, the waiter outside who was carrying the plate knocked on the door twice again, "Are the two guests there? I've brought you some food and drinks."

Signaling Wu Qi to open the door, Mang Yuan paced and hid behind the door.

"Guest officer, your food and drink."

As soon as the door was opened, Wu Qi met the bright smile of the waiter.He froze for a moment, then took the plate from the other party's hand.

"Guest officer, please take it easy, just call if you need anything."

Watching Xiao Er turn his back, at this moment, Mang Yuan, who was hiding behind the door, immediately released a trace of demon power and attacked him.

Just when he thought that the person in front of him would faint immediately, an unexpected thing happened.
