“The front doors and streets are so clean, there are no weeds, and the houses are not damaged, which shows that there are people living in this county town.

There can’t be no one here, keep knocking.”

Hearing Li Junyan's words, Lin Qi's eyebrows stood up.

“Since there is someone here, I knocked on the door for such a long time, but there was no movement from inside.

Could something have happened?

Master, how about I just kick the door open and go in to see what’s going on? Don’t let anything really happen, it’s a matter of life and death!”

Li Junyan gave Lin Qi an appreciative look and said, "Your worries are indeed justified. In that case, then just kick the door!"

"yes!"

Lin Qi agreed loudly, his voice full of excitement.

Just when Lin Qi was about to kick the door, the tightly closed door was finally opened from the inside.

"Don't kick! Don't kick! There's someone there! If you break it, we'll have to fix it!"

The door of the inn was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man opened it.

Lin Qi raised his chin towards the man and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper?"

"yes."

"Then I knocked on the door for a long time just now, and you heard it, why didn't you open the door?"

“I thought they were here again, so I didn’t dare to open the door, but it turned out not to be the case.

Gentlemen, why are you coming to our county?

Take my advice, leave quickly before it gets dark!

I see you are leading your horses and galloping. It won't take an hour to reach the next county town. It would be better for you to stay there."

The shopkeeper's words were sincere and heartfelt, but Lin Qi was completely confused.

"What do you mean? You can't live in the county town? Why can't you live there? Who are these people you just mentioned?"

The shopkeeper was even more anxious than before, "You... I told you to leave, so you left. Why are you still asking questions?

If you don't leave quickly, it will be too late to leave later!"

Li Junyan stepped forward and smiled at the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper, we've been traveling all day. Not only are we tired, but the horses are tired too. We really can't continue on our journey. Could you please be so kind as to let us stay here?"

In the past, when Li Junyan faced other people, he was full of aura and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. Few people even dared to look him in the eye.

But now, although Li Junyan's clothes are exquisite, he does not look rich.

He has a handsome appearance, but gives people a very gentle feeling and is not scary.

Coupled with his bright smile, gentle voice and humble attitude, he can easily arouse people's goodwill.

The shopkeeper, who had been a little impatient just now, looked much gentler when he looked at Li Junyan.

"My lord, you don't know that our county is not very big!

It’s not that I don’t want you to live here, but it’s very likely to be dangerous if you live here!

Especially since you are so good-looking, it would be more dangerous!"

This was an interesting statement, and Sang Jueqian instantly became interested.

Because Li Junyan is good-looking, he is more dangerous.

Could it be that someone is bullying men and women?

Li Junyan smiled at the shopkeeper again, "But we really have nowhere else to go, so please give us some convenience.

I can guarantee that whether or not there is real danger, it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper and will definitely not implicate the shopkeeper."

"You! Me! Ugh!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, stamped his feet and sighed, "I'm not afraid that you will implicate me, I'm afraid that I will implicate you!

Since you don't want to leave, then come in!"

Lin Qi said with a smile, "Boss, how can I get into the backyard? Is there a stable?"

"I'll let the waiter take you there."

The shopkeeper said this, turning around and shouting into the house.

After a while, a boy of about sixteen or seventeen ran out. His outfit was quite consistent with Sang Jueqian's impression of a waiter.

The waiter bent over slightly, with a smile on his face, but his expression was very anxious. He quickly took Lin Qi to the backyard.

Li Junyan followed the shopkeeper into the lobby.

The decoration in the lobby is quite nice, and you can tell that the owner is putting a lot of effort into running the business.

Li Junyan found a random table and sat down. "Boss, is there anything to eat? We want something hot."

"I told you there was danger, and you still had the mind to eat!" said the shopkeeper, looking at Li Junyan strangely.

Li Junyan smiled gently, "The shopkeeper is wrong. It is precisely because of the danger that we should eat our fill.

Otherwise, if you want to eat it later, you won’t have the chance, right? "

The shopkeeper's face was filled with shock.

After a long while, the shopkeeper stammered, "You...you...you, young man, how can you be so shameless? How can you say such things so casually?"

"Aren't you the shopkeeper who keeps saying there's danger?" Li Junyan looked puzzled. "Shopkeeper, why don't you tell me what the danger is so I can have a plan."

The shopkeeper sighed deeply, "A group of people came to our county town. They are very fierce and violent. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil!"

A dark light flashed in Li Junyan's eyes, "The government doesn't care?"

"The government office?" The shopkeeper said with a worried look on his face. "He's the honored guest invited by the county magistrate, how could they care about it?"

Collusion between officials and bandits?

"Boss, have you heard anything about these people? What are their identities?"

The shopkeeper looked around and lowered his voice, "It is said... that it was Prince Chen who secretly escaped from the fiefdom with his men!"

Li Junyan, "......"

Sang Jueqian, "???"
