"Miss, have you decided where you want to go?”The coachman's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Si Muran's thoughts.
"Just send me to the downtown area of East Street and you can leave. I want to buy something.”After all, the coachman was hired by Si Yalan. Si Muran had no choice but to be cautious when she asked him to send her to the county town so late at night.
The old coachman looked a little hesitant." Miss Si instructed us to send you to the county town. Look at this."
The coachman stopped talking when Si Muran handed him a silver ingot. A bright smile immediately appeared on his wrinkled face." Alright! I'll send you to East Street now." As he spoke, he pulled the reins of the horse and the carriage left.
After buying the things he needed for the journey on East Main Street, Si Muran, who was dressed as a man, left the capital and went to a town ten miles away from the capital.
The town wasn't big. Si Muran walked around and found that there was only one inn with a very familiar name: Dragon Inn!
This made her think of that famous movie. Hence, Si Muran felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this inn.
As they walked into the shop, the waiter stared at Si Muran with his bright eyes.""Sir, please come in. Would you like to wait for the queue or stay in the hotel?”
Si Muran placed the bag aside and sat down.""Prepare a superior room for me and some food.”Si Muran took out a silver ingot from her bag and threw it to the waiter.
The waiter caught it with both hands and his eyes lit up."Alright, please wait a moment." As he spoke, he ran into the room and walked to the counter to give the shopkeeper a look.
In a short while, the waiter served the prepared dishes.
Si Muran picked up her chopsticks and asked the waiter impatiently,""Why is your inn called Dragon Inn?”
The waiter scratched his head and said,""Our town is called Dragon's Gate, so the inn is called Dragon's Gate Inn.”
The corners of Si Muran's lips twitched. So that's how the name came about?
After the waiter left, Si Muran mumbled as she ate," Could it be that this inn only became popular during the Ming Dynasty?
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it. After filling his stomach, he followed the waiter into the prepared room.
"Waiter, prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath.”Si Muran said as she put down her bag and looked around.
"Alright." The waiter went downstairs.
A few waiters and innkeeper gathered downstairs and discussed in low voices,""Looks like this is a sugar daddy. Look at how generous he is. We're going to be rich tonight."
"Third Bro, be prepared. Don't let this God of Fortune escape.”The shopkeeper stroked his beard and his eyes lit up.
After the waiter delivered the hot water, he secretly looked at the window.
Si Muran loosened her hair, revealing her black and shiny hair. She didn't notice the surprised eyes behind the window.
The waiter covered his lips and walked downstairs, pulling the shopkeeper's sleeve and said excitedly,"Big Brother, it's a woman!"
"What?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and everyone was excited. "I really didn't expect us to be so lucky today. Third Bro, you know what to prepare, right?”The shopkeeper said to one of the waiters.
"Big brother, don't worry, leave it to me.”After saying that, everyone dispersed and made their own preparations.
As the night deepened, a few shadows sneakily poked open the sandpaper and blew into Si Muran's room.
After a while, one of them was about to pry open the door, but the door was unlocked!
The three of them looked at each other and walked in. They lit the candle in their hands, but there was no one on the bed?
"Where is he?" The leader of the group called out in surprise.
"Hey, are you looking for me?" Si Muran appeared behind everyone with a torch in her hand.
" You…" The three of them looked at Si Muran who was carrying a backpack, holding a torch in one hand and something in the other.
"W-what are you doing?" The leader stuttered.
Si Muran laughed smugly and said,""I forgot to tell you. As far as I know, this Dragon Inn is a black market. As expected, you guys really want to hit on me. It seems that those scenes in the movie are not all fake. Don't come over, this is kerosene. If I pour out a little, your inn will be finished!”
These three people had suffered a huge loss. They had never failed in their business for more than ten years, but today, they had fallen into the hands of a woman.
"You want to rob me? Save it!”Si Muran poured out the kerosene and walked downstairs as she spoke.
"Great Aunt, I beg you. This is our way of making a living. Please don't burn it.”The leader cupped his fists and begged.
" Sure, as long as I leave this place safely, I promise…" Before Si Muran could finish her sentence, a sword was pointed at her throat from behind.
"Put down the thing in your hand!" The third brother was supposed to be waiting for her downstairs, but who knew that he would come out and see this woman burning down their inn.
Si Muran cursed inwardly. How could she be careless? Third Brother snatched the torch from Si Muran's hand and the other three men surrounded him.
He snatched the bag from Si Muran and opened it. There was indeed a lot of silver inside.
"Little girl, aren't you very capable? Why aren't you arrogant now?" The leader of the group asked with a smile as he lifted Si Muran's chin with one hand.
"Big Brother, don't waste your breath on her. Just tie her up and sell her to a brothel.”The second brother touched the silver, thinking that he could earn more money by selling Si Muran.
"Even if we are going to sell it, we have to be happy before we sell it.”Eldest Brother was about to be rude to Si Muran.
" Ah…" Si Muran screamed in fear. At this moment, the door of the inn was suddenly kicked open.
Si Muran turned around and saw the handsome man in white standing with his hands behind his back. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Who is it?" Big Brother shouted at Pei Chenshuo, his hand still on Si Muran.
Pei Chenshuo stared at him, and when he saw the hands on Si Muran's body, he felt a fire in his heart. He moved quickly, a white shadow in the wind. The big brother felt a dull pain in his chest, and his body was kicked to the side by Pei Chenshuo.
With a bang, the eldest brother's body smashed the table and chair at the side. He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. The three people beside him were stunned. Before they could stand up to fight Pei Chenshuo, they saw a white shadow flash and everyone was kicked.
" Ouch!" The three of them groaned and fell to the ground, clutching their chests. He did not expect this person to be so powerful!
Si Muran's mouth was wide open as she looked at the four people lying on the ground. She was really impressed by Pei Chenshuo's martial arts.
"You're courting death!" Pei Chenshuo's elegant voice was heard.
Si Muran pointed at the four people on the ground and said,""Did you hear that? I said that you don't know what's good for you!”
Pei Chenshuo's lips twitched as he stared coldly at Si Muran.""I'm talking about you. Who allowed you to escape on your own?”
" Ah..." Si Muran was taken aback and could not help but glare at Pei Chenshuo."If I don't escape, do you want me to be someone else's concubine?”
"If I didn't come, I'm afraid you would have been sold into a brothel. Why do you think a brothel is better than being a concubine? Hmm?" Pei Chenshuo looked at her angrily.
Si Muran curled her lips and rolled up her sleeves as if she wanted to argue with Pei Chenshuo.""Do you think I wanted to? I just came to borrow a place to stay. Who knew that I would be so unlucky to find an illegal shop?”
"You're still reasonable!" Pei Chenshuo was furious. If he hadn't heard her scream, something would have happened tonight. Why was she so stubborn and unrepentant?
"I didn't beg you to save me. Why are you so fierce?”Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo's ashen face and was puzzled. I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, not you!
" You..." Pei Chenshuo was furious. The anger on his face was even more intense."I'll settle the score with you when we get back. Come with me, the emperor wants to see you tomorrow!”She was about to pull Si Muran's hand when she saw the man on the ground acting strangely.
The third brother saw that they were quarreling and thought it was an opportunity. He took out something from his waist and scattered it towards them. White powder fluttered. Pei Chenshuo turned around and pulled Si Muran into his arms.
A faint fragrance entered his nose. Pei Chenshuo waved his sleeves to block the powder and cursed,""Damn it." As he spoke, he kicked the sword on the ground and pointed it at the third brother on the ground.
Pei Chenshuo's dark eyes overflowed with killing intent. Those people did not expect Pei Chenshuo to be so vigilant. They were so scared that they fell to the ground.
"Hero, spare me! Spare me!" Third Brother begged for mercy with a trembling voice and kept kowtowing.
Pei Chenshuo hugged Si Muran tightly with one hand and held his sword with the other. There was no expression on his handsome face."You're courting death!"
Si Muran saw Pei Chenshuo's expression and knew that he had a murderous intent. She tugged at his sleeve and said,""I have a way to stop them from doing evil. Do you have a lighter?”
Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran in confusion, only to see a smirk on her lips.
Pei Chenshuo took out a lighter and handed it to Si Muran. Si Muran took the lighter and pointed it at the place where he poured the oil. In a moment, the inn was on fire.
"If you dare to do evil again, won't the inn be burned?”Si Muran said fiercely to the four people on the ground.
"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing my life.”Third Brother didn't care about the raging fire behind him and hurriedly kowtowed to Si Muran.
Si Muran returned the lighter to Pei Chenshuo and clapped her hands, as if she was very proud of her masterpiece.""Let's go." Si Muran turned around and looked at Pei Chenshuo.
Pei Chenshuo nodded and looked at her. The corners of his lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. Then, he left the inn with Si Muran.
"I thought that the Dragon Inn would only become popular during the Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect it to be so popular now.”Si Muran muttered to herself and couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you say?" Pei Chenshuo frowned as he listened to Si Muran's strange words.
"It's nothing. You won't understand even if I tell you. Let's go!" Si Muran smiled and walked into the night with Pei Chenshuo.
The eldest brother watched as Si Muran left before shouting at the rest,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and run.”
The few of them reacted and ran out of the door in a panic. They looked at the Dragon Inn that was engulfed in fire with extremely sad expressions.
"Third Bro, what did you just spill? Why didn't they react at all?”Big Brother wiped his tears and asked.
Third Brother rubbed his head and said,"Good, good. It seems to be an aphrodisiac!"”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
