"Sigh, Chou Kun, the monthly salary of a chef in my wangfu is not bad. You can consider it. I don't mind if you volunteer to take on this responsibility!”
" Young Master, I…I don't want to be a chef, I…"
"Alright, stop arguing. This journey isn't peaceful. We've already left the city for so long, and we still have two days to travel back to the capital. We don't know what we'll encounter, so everyone must be careful. We can't relax in the slightest. We have to reach the next town before dark.”Ling Yuandong said what everyone was thinking seriously.
She packed her things and continued on her way. After crossing the mountain, they arrived at a wide road. The road was relatively flat and the speed was much faster. However, there was a little fox. Ni Shang and Ling Yuxuan rode separately. Xue Rong was snuggled in Ling Yuxuan's arms and refused to come out. Her body was not big to begin with. Xue Rong's entire body was curled up in Ling Yuxuan's clothes, only revealing her head. Her two black eyes stared straight at the middle of the road. Ling Yuxuan would occasionally reach out to stroke Xue Rong's head and stuff it into his chest!
Time was always very fast on the road. The sun had unknowingly set from the center to the side of the mountain. Ling Yu Xuan and the others took advantage of the darkness to arrive at a small town. There were quite a number of people. After entering the small town, many people came out to look at them. They seemed to be very interested in them. After walking for a long time, they did not see an inn. They could only look for a restaurant to eat first.
"Chou Kun, go ahead and see if there's a restaurant or something like that. We'll eat first before looking for an inn! The rest of you, stay here and rest!"
"Alright, I'll go right away." He rode his horse forward.
"Second brother, don't you feel that this small town is strange? There are very few people, and there aren't even any inns or restaurants on the streets.”
Ling Yu nodded and did not answer. His face turned cold.
Not long after, Chou Kun rode back on his horse." Young Master, there's a restaurant in front of us, and there's also an inn. It's just that it's a little far from here. I don't know why it's so far from the town?"”"Then let's go over. Otherwise, we won't have a place to stay tonight. We can only stay in the suburbs.”
The group of people and many boxes walked towards the restaurant. The people behind them were discussing animatedly. Most of them were talking about where the people came from and what was in the box. What was his purpose for coming here?
" Waiter, Waiter…" Ni Shang shouted as soon as she entered the restaurant. She was about to starve to death.
"Aiyo, hello, guests. If you need anything, just say it!”
"Second brother, give us the best dishes in your shop. Make more. We have more people, so we have to be quick. Also, do you have a room here?”
"Yes, yes. There are still many rooms in the store. I'll arrange it for you after dinner!”
When Ling Yuxuan and the others entered the lobby, Ni Shang was already communicating with the waiter.
"They're here. They're all at the door. Take a look at the room arrangements!”The waiter looked at the 20-odd people at the door. The three people in front of him were obviously dignitaries with outstanding auras.
The waiter immediately ran over and asked," Master, how do you want your rooms? I'm afraid there aren't more than 20 guest rooms in the store. Can you take a few or two people to a room?"”
Ling Yuxuan turned around and looked at the eighteen riders.”
"We'll listen to Young Master's arrangements!"
"Alright, listen up, Second Brother. The two young masters beside me will share a room, this lady and I will share a room, and the other four will share a room!”
Bai Yi wanted to retort, but on second thought, he decided to forget it. It was nothing! Ling Yuyao was surprised that he did not get a retort as he had expected. He stole a glance at Bai Yi, who looked as calm as usual. Ling Yuyao was secretly happy! Ni Shang's face was flushed red," Big Brother Ling, how can you be like this…I…I want a room for myself. Xiao Er, give me a room by myself!”
The waiter was just about to answer when he was frightened by Ling Yuxuan's gaze. He said weakly," I'm sorry, the room is full. I can only trouble you to squeeze with this young master first!" I'll bring the dishes to you right away."
As usual, the tables and dishes were placed together. Nine of the 18 riders did not find it strange, but the other imposters did not dare to. Ling Yuxuan said that it was fine and they went to the side to eat. The atmosphere of the meal was a little depressing because there was a high possibility of an ambush tomorrow. However, it was the only way back to the capital. The terrain was complicated, surrounded by high mountains and a road across the middle. If someone wanted to ambush... Without a doubt, this was the best choice. If they sped up a little, they would immediately reach the town on the outskirts of the capital. At that time, they would not have to worry about anyone.!
" Tomorrow will be filled with danger. It's best for everyone to stay behind to keep watch tonight. Chou Kun, you and the others will take turns to keep watch."As for the rest of you, move the box to the bedroom and guard it!”
After dinner, they returned to their respective bedrooms. The eighteen horsemen took turns to keep watch. The night was cool and the reflection of the moon in the lake was bright. A masked man stood by the lake, and a dark-skinned man knelt behind him, reporting the situation.
"They are staying at the inn. They will pass through the Ling Canyon tomorrow. The box has been moved into the inn by them. Our people have already been deployed. When the time comes, all the money will be ours…"
"Did I say I was going to kill them? We only want the money. We don't care about anything else. Once we get the money, we'll retreat immediately! Do you understand?"
"This subordinate…I don't understand. Isn't it a good opportunity to get rid of them? Didn't Master want to get rid of them?”
"Are you questioning my orders? Or was he doubting his master's judgment?”the masked man said sternly.
"This subordinate doesn't dare, this subordinate will remember! However, this subordinate found it strange. Wouldn't it be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity?”
"You can go now. Don't make any mistakes tomorrow! Otherwise, Master won't forgive you! There are some things that you shouldn't know!”After the man in black disappeared, the masked man sighed.
"Sigh, with the two of them here, how can we silence them? The terrain is steep. If they really want to kill, how can they escape? Master had specially instructed him! However, if he let go of such a great opportunity, would there be another one in the future? Both of them are not easy to deal with!" The masked man shook his head and disappeared across the water, stirring up the moonlight.
Ling Yuxuan and Ni Shang returned to their room. Ling Yuxuan was secretly happy, while Ni Shang was a little shy and awkwardly tugged at her fingers. Ling Yuxuan spoke when he saw her uneasiness.
"Shang 'er, go take a shower first. I'll go out and wash Xue Rong too! You're dirty!" She carried the snow fur that she had been hiding in front of her chest and went to the lobby.
"Waiter, get me a wooden basin and some hot water!”
"Alright, I'll prepare it for you immediately!”
"Xuerong, you really can sleep. You only know how to hide in my chest the whole day. Fortunately, I'm a man and don't have buns. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been taken advantage of by you? I still don't know if you're male or female. I'll take a look when I take a shower later! Haha…"
"Young Master, the hot water you asked for is here!”
A basin of steaming hot water was brought in front of Ling Yuxuan. Ling Yuxuan carried the snow fur and slowly put it down. At first, the snow fur struggled not to enter the water. It only stopped struggling when its entire body was drenched. Even Ling Yuxuan's clothes were wet. Ling Yuxuan pulled on his injured hind leg and tried not to let the water touch it. After washing it, he immediately wrapped a cloth around the snow fur and carefully dried the water vapor on its body. The snow fur that had been washed was much brighter and no longer looked gray.
The more Ling Yuxuan looked at it, the cuter it became. His hand stopped on its head.
"Eh, when did you get a bunch of silver-white hair on your forehead? It was extremely similar to the color of his entire body. He did not look at it carefully before, but now that he looked at it, it was indeed different from the rest. It's quite nice!" Ling Yuxuan didn't mind. He quickly wiped the water off and carried her upstairs.
"Dong dong dong""Shang 'er, good, big brother Ling is coming in!"”
"Oh, okay. It's done." Ni Shang quickly put on her clothes and went to the door to open it for Ling Yuxuan.
"Ah, Xuerong looks so beautiful after a bath. Brother Ling, go take a bath. Your clothes are all wet. I'll apply medicine to Xuerong's wound!”With that, she took the snow and placed it on the bed.
"That's good too! Be careful, don't get bitten again…"
Ling Yuxuan took out the clothes from the bag. They were bright red, and the entire set was red. Only the inner shirt was white, and the rest was bright red. Ling Yuxuan was sweating profusely.
"Shang 'er, did you prepare these clothes?”
"Yeah, your second brother said that you used to like bright red, so he prepared bright red clothes for you. I think big brother Ling will definitely look good in them!”
Ling Yuxuan's forehead was filled with black lines. He hugged his clothes and walked to the bathhouse. There was a bathhouse in the inn, but only for men.
The clothes were being rubbed around in Ling Yuxuan's hands." Red! Big red, how much did my predecessor like big red? Sigh, can I control this red?”
When he arrived at the bathhouse, there were quite a lot of people inside. Ling Yuxuan listened to the sound of the water. Second brother? No way, they were all here? I-I…I don't think I should go in. Let's go back first. Facing a group of men, ah…I can't stand it! Goosebumps all over the ground." He even touched his arm.
She turned around and was about to leave." Ah, Young Master, come and take a shower too. We're all done!”Chou Kun came out first and saw Ling Yuxuan who was about to leave.
"Are you done bathing? Are you leaving?"
