Chapter 85: Failure to Book a Room
"Boss, I think I saw Zhan Ying being chased by someone. Run away quickly, I'll go save him!"
Yao Jinheng saw a familiar figure in the chaotic fight ahead. He shouted into the carriage, then jumped out and ran forward.
Liang Jingyao immediately lifted the curtain and looked outside. Not far away, a group of people were surrounding and beating a man. That man was Zhan Ying. Zhan Ying should be guarding the valley, but there were so many people chasing him. It seemed that Jingyi had told Emperor Liang everything without leaving out a single detail!
"Yue'er, sit tight, I'm going to drive you into the city now! In Yangming Town, even if the Jade Emperor comes, no one can stop us!" Liang Jingyao said as he sat in the front and whipped the horse high. The horse galloped towards the gate of Yangming Town in pain.
The carriage was shaking violently, and Lin Xiaoyue was shaking inside. Her butt was off the seat several times, but she was afraid of affecting Liang Jingyao's driving of the carriage, so she didn't make any sound. The most important thing now was to get into the city as soon as possible!
After all, the most dangerous place is the safest. The more Emperor Liang keeps an eye on Yangming Town, the more they will stay in Yangming Town, open branches, and make a fortune!
"Damn, damn!" As the carriage passed the fighting crowd, the sound of swords and cries of pain from the wounded reached Liang Jingyao's ears. Liang Jingyao tried his best to endure it and did not turn his head to look, but the whip in his hand was full of anger, "Gee! Gee! Gee!"
Lin Xiaoyue almost couldn't catch it due to the sudden emergency acceleration, but half of her body had already flown out, "Hiss!" She rubbed her sore hands and the pain in her head, quietly lifted the curtain a little, and saw the fighting group gradually moving away. She finally let go of her heart.
Lin Xiaoyue walked outside and sat down in the driver's seat. "Brother Liang, do you think Manager Yao can rescue Zhan Ying?"
Liang Jingyao saw that the city gate was right in front of him, and he didn't rush Lin Xiaoyue back to the carriage anyway because he had to be checked before entering the city.
He slowed down his horse and said, "It should be possible. Although Jin Heng has been the shopkeeper for a long time and looks quite wealthy, he is actually also a member of the Silver Slash Guard. It's just that I needed someone in the capital later, and seeing that he is smart, I arranged for him to be stationed in the Linglong Pavilion in the capital. But this time, the enemy has so many people, he and Zhan Ying will have to endure some hardships."
Lin Xiaoyue sighed. Things have been so complicated recently that it’s hard to go home!
"The valley is no longer safe. We can't live there anymore. My bamboo courtyard isn't even finished yet!"
Liang Jingyao also felt distressed. He had lived in the valley for a long time and had already developed feelings for the place. Now that Jingyi had informed on him, it would be very risky for him to go back and live there! It was okay for him to have martial arts skills, but the one in danger was Yue'er. He must not let Yue'er get hurt!
"Yue'er, just bear with living in the inn for now. Once the restaurant is built, I'll definitely build you a beautiful bamboo courtyard in the backyard. Wouldn't that make your wish come true?"
In these troubled times, Lin Xiaoyue felt that being alive was good enough, and the valley could only be regarded as a beautiful memory!
She nodded and gave Liang Jingyao an expectant smile, "Okay, I hope it can be covered soon!"
When the carriage passed through the city gate, Liang Jingyao used his money ability to stuff two ingots of silver into the hands of the city gate officer. They entered Yangming Town smoothly without being questioned too much.
Lin Xiaoyue has been to Yangming Town several times, but this time she felt an unprecedented solemnity. Although people were still walking on the streets, there were always some people with different looks. These should be Emperor Liang's people mixed in the crowd, right?
In order to avoid being noticed, she sat in the carriage with a relaxed expression and stopped discussing with Liang Jingyao.
Until the carriage stopped at the door of Yuanheng Inn, Liang Jingyao helped Lin Xiaoyue get off the car, and then the two of them walked into the inn holding hands, looking like a loving couple.
Walking up to the counter, Liang Jingyao generously took out four ingots of silver and said, "Boss, give me two top-grade rooms!"
The shopkeeper refused to accept the money and said with embarrassment, "Sir, all the rooms here are fully booked. I can't accept your money!"
Liang Jingyao asked in surprise, "When did so many people come to stay at the hotel in Yangming Town? Is there something serious going on?"
The shopkeeper pushed the silver in front of Liang Jingyao and said vaguely: "Anyway, the place is fully booked, I can't give you a room! How about you try your luck somewhere else?"
Liang Jingyao angrily took back the silver and took Lin Xiaoyue back to the carriage. "There are a few other inns here. Although they are not as big as Yuanheng Inn, they are also good. I'm sorry to have to let Yue'er go."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and whispered, "From what the shopkeeper said, maybe all the inns in Yangming Town have been booked. I guess it would be a waste of time for us to go there."
Liang Jingyao was unwilling to give up, so he drove his carriage to several houses in a row, but he returned disappointed every time. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
"This must be intentional! They don't let us stay at the inn, are they trying to get us back into the valley and fall into their trap?"
Lin Xiaoyue was awakened by Liang Jingyao's words. She leaned close to Liang Jingyao's ear and said, "I have an idea! Let's go eat first, and then I'll take you to the Yuanheng Inn to stay in the Tianzi room in the evening!"
Liang Jingyao saw that Lin Xiaoyue was full of confidence. However, the entire Yangming Town was now full of Liang Di's spies. He suppressed his curiosity and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll take you to dinner."
The place to eat is in the noodle shop opposite Yuanheng Inn. It was chosen because there is a teahouse next to the noodle shop. Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to run back and forth. She planned to drink tea next door after eating the noodles. I heard that they would start the action as soon as it gets dark!
As soon as the noodles came, Lin Xiaoyue started to eat them. She had left home too early in the morning and had been nervous all the way, so all she could think about was eating!
"Burp! Great! I'm finally full!"
After finishing a big bowl of noodles and soup, a large pork chop and a chicken leg, Lin Xiaoyue burped with satisfaction.
Liang Jingyao took out a handkerchief and wiped the remaining residue from the corner of Lin Xiaoyue's mouth, and said with a smile: "Little cat! Let's go, let's go next door to drink tea and listen to books!"
At noon, the teahouse was quite crowded, all of them coming to kill time after lunch. In ancient times, when there were no televisions or computers, listening to books was considered a way to listen to gossip and learn about the outside world.
Generally, storytellers will tell stories about recent major events, or interesting or bizarre stories. It can be said that the success of a teahouse's business depends entirely on the storyteller's mouth!
As soon as Lin Xiaoyue sat down, she saw the people around her making a lot of noise, all clamoring for the storyteller to come out quickly. The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He sent the waiter in to urge him several times, but the storyteller refused to come out.
Finally, the shopkeeper went in personally to invite the storyteller, but as soon as he entered the dressing room, he screamed "Ah!"
