Chapter 961 The closer we get to Nanchuan, the crazier those people get
"Okay, then wait for me."
Jiang Wan quickly went to the space and came out with a box of strawberries after a while.
"Let's eat together."
"good."
Song Jiuyuan didn't say anything because he knew Jiang Wan still had a lot of space.
Just thinking of those assassins, he frowned, "Wanwan, we are still so far away from Nanchuan, and there are so many assassins.
I’m afraid the closer we get to Nanchuan, the crazier those people will become.”
"Where is the person sent by Emperor Nanchuan to pick up Gan Ze?"
Jiang Wan frowned and said angrily, "You keep saying you want to pick up Gan Ze.
There is no one to protect him, this Nanchuan Emperor is not a good person either."
"He probably thought that if Gan Ze couldn't even solve such a small matter, he didn't deserve to sit in that position."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes turned cold, and he felt a little disgusted with the emperor's ruthlessness.
"That's really not worthy of being a father."
Jiang Wan ate the sweet strawberry in her mouth and didn't take the other person seriously.
Song Jiuyuan comforted her, "Don't worry, Wanwan, I will definitely protect you."
"Of course I believe you."
Jiang Wan smiled. On the way to Nanchuan, she encountered several assassination attempts, but all of them failed and instead caused the other side to lose a lot of people.
Ten days later, as they were about to enter the territory of Nanchuan, Song Jiuyuan and Gan Ze became extremely nervous.
At night, Jiang Wan and his companions arrived at an inn in Mi County on the border of Dafeng.
Passing by the street, Jiang Wan could see with her own eyes that the people living on the border looked somewhat different.
There are even many people who can speak Nanchuan dialect.
“Although intermarriage is not allowed at the border between the two countries, it cannot be stopped privately.”
Song Jiuyuan explained softly, lowering his voice to Jiang Wan, "So many children are mixed-blood."
People from Dafeng and Nanchuan look pretty similar, but it's obvious to the naked eye that people from Nanchuan are shorter.
Jiang Wan nodded in understanding, and the carriage stopped next to the stable of an inn.
"Wanwan."
Song Jiuyuan helped Jiang Wan get off the carriage, and the group entered the inn. At this time, there were still quite a few people in the inn.
Many people were drinking tea and having a great time. Jiang Wan and Mu Xiang were wearing veils.
"Master, there is no room."
Song Si looked a little helpless. He didn't expect this inn to be so popular.
Hearing this, Song Jiuyuan said calmly: "There is an inn across the street. Let's go and take a look."
So Jiang Wan and his group went to the inn opposite, only to find the exact opposite situation.
Compared with the previous inn which was crowded, there were almost no people in this inn.
It was a deserted place, and the waiter was dozing off at the table.
The shopkeeper even lay directly on the recliner at the counter, his head shaking, looking extremely sleepy.
It was not until Song Jiuyuan and the others stood in front of the shopkeeper that he lazily raised his eyelids.
"Sir, are you staying at the hotel?"
"Are there any rooms left?"
Song Si's words made the shopkeeper laugh and cry, "Sir, we have as many rooms as you want."
"Why is there such a big difference between your inn and the one across the street?"
Muxiang really couldn't help it. The decorations of the two inns were almost the same. One was deserted and empty, while the other was bustling and crowded.
The shopkeeper chuckled, "It's hard to say what the reason is.
But I can tell you a secret..."
The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "The meat dishes they serve in the inn are made from two-legged meat..."
He deliberately dragged out the last word, as if he wanted to scare them, and Muxiang was indeed quite frightened.
"nonsense!"
Granny Yuan suddenly shouted at the shopkeeper, "Don't try to scare us."
The princess is still pregnant and can't listen to such nonsense.
"Then just treat us as a joke."
The shopkeeper laughed and fiddled with an abacus, "How many rooms do you want?"
"Three."
Song Jiuyuan was very frugal with words, and his slightly cold eyes made the shopkeeper feel very uncomfortable.
He smiled heartily, "Okay, waiter, take the guest upstairs."
"Sir, please."
The waiter who was still dozing off just now appeared waving a handkerchief in his hand. Jiang Wan suddenly said:
"We haven't eaten yet, let's eat in the hall first."
"Okay, what would you like to eat, sir?"
The waiter introduced the specialties of Mi County with great enthusiasm, "If you like, you can have one portion as well."
"Can."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly, and the group sat down around the round table, with Mu Xiang shrinking her neck.
"Master, why do I feel like something is wrong here?"
She didn't dare speak loudly, for fear that the shopkeeper and the waiter would hear her, as she was very close to Grandma Yuan.
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
Gan Ze also looked at the inn and found it somewhat strange.
Apart from the fact that the inn was already deserted, they always felt a strange chill.
A chilly feeling.
Jiang Wan also felt uncomfortable. She placed her palm on her abdomen and thought about the problem in silence.
"Whatever tricks they play, we will not fall into their trap if we are more vigilant."
As we were talking, the waiter brought the steaming food to the table, which smelled quite delicious.
Shredded pork with fish flavor, marinated duck legs, steamed sea bass, etc.
Mu Xiang looked at the counter in confusion, "Waiter, where is your boss?"
"In the kitchen?"
The waiter grinned, "We don't usually have many guests in our inn, and the innkeeper is both the innkeeper, accountant and cook."
"What about you?"
Jiang Wan's curious eyes fell on the waiter's fingertips, and the waiter subconsciously retracted his hand.
"I am a waiter, a cleaning helper, and a groom."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly and watched the waiter walk away. Everyone stared at the food on the table and no one touched it.
"Master, let me test it first."
Gan Ze used a silver needle to test whether the food was poisonous. It didn't matter if he was poisoned, but he couldn't let his master and father get hurt.
“It’s not poisonous.”
Mu Xiang stared at the silver needle which had not changed at all, then she breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan took out a jade bottle from her sleeve.
"Eat it all."
"Master, is there something unclean in this dish?"
Muxiang was shocked. Could it be that her and her junior brother’s poison skills were so poor?
She suddenly felt a little inferior.
"no."
Jiang Wan explained in a low voice, "This is for self-defense. No matter what happens next, you are not allowed to do anything rash."
She had a hunch that this night was destined to be troubled.
"We all listen to the master."
Muxiang nodded vigorously, saying that the dish was fine, and then she started eating the food in big mouthfuls.
Gan Ze and Grandma Yuan did the same, only Jiang Wan didn't eat much.
She only drank the hot water in the water bag, and when the waiter looked over, she covered her mouth and vomited.
"My dear lady, is the food not to your liking?"
"No, it's morning sickness."
Jiang Wan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "The smell makes me want to vomit. I have to eat less."
"Ma'am, I'll go out and get you some other food later."
Song Jiuyuan hugged Jiang Wan with concern, and the waiter quietly retreated upon seeing this.
There is something wrong with this inn.
After dinner, they went back to their rooms. Jiang Wan whispered a few words to Muxiang and Ganze, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
After returning to the house, Song Jiuyuan frowned and asked Jiang Wan, "What's in the food?"
