This inn has two floors, the second floor is the inn and the first floor is the tavern. Guests staying here can eat here, and those who are not staying here can also come in and eat.
The main focus is casual.
Su Bi and Qin Nian entered the tavern. People who often travel around the tavern usually choose a corner seat.
This can avoid exposing your back to others. It is not because of fear, but it is necessary to be vigilant.
Su Bi chose a corner and sat down with Qin Nian.
After a long period of contact, Su Bi knew what kind of food Qin Nian liked to eat.
He ordered a dish of stir-fried pork belly with glutinous rice and bamboo shoots, beef with coriander, stewed chicken soup, and two bowls of rice.
After ordering the dishes, Su Bi slowly turned his eyes and looked at the guests in the tavern. This was a habit he had developed before.
Over the years, he has been searching for Lin Tiancheng everywhere. He has encountered danger many times and has developed the habit of being cautious in everything.
Then his eyes paused on a woman for a moment, and that woman caught his attention.
The woman was about 20 years old, neither fat nor thin, with black hair and fair skin, big eyes, double eyelids, long eyelashes, and a high nose bridge.
Wearing goose yellow clothes, sitting in front of a square table, he seemed to be waiting for someone and also seemed to be waiting for food.
It was very quiet, but many people in the tavern noticed her, especially some lustful men. Seeing such a beautiful woman alone, their eyes were even more unscrupulous.
It seems like a huge bargain is right in front of you, and if you don't take it, it would be a waste. Who wouldn't take it? Only a bastard would pretend to be so noble.
Su Bi calmly withdrew his gaze and said to Qin Nian in a very low voice:
"Xiao Nian, just listen to me and don't look up, lest you alert the enemy.
The woman sitting on our right, by the window, I've seen her before."
Qin Nian is looking after the waiter.
The waiter had a white towel draped over his shoulders and was holding a long tray in his hands.
There were five plates filled with food on the tray, plus a large bowl.
The waiter carried the tray and delivered the food to the guests' table at great speed, without his body even touching the corners of the table as he passed by.
Practice really makes perfect.
Qin Nian looked at him just like Su Bi watched Mrs. Li stretching noodles a while ago. No matter what he did, as long as he was proficient in it, his movements would be as smooth as flowing water and very pleasing to the eye.
Qin Nian was slightly startled when she heard Su Bi talking to her, and she withdrew her gaze. She had no experience in the martial arts world, but she reacted quickly and did not look sideways at the woman at the table on the right.
"Where have you seen her? Is there anything noteworthy about her?"
Qin Nian's voice was also very low.
“On the day when my uncle and I got into trouble, while the blue-clothed lady and I were fighting each other, I glanced at those people.
This woman is one of them, there is no doubt about it."
Qin Nian nodded slightly: "That's great, it's really hard to find it, but it's brought to us.
She will leave soon, shall we follow her?"
Su Bi nodded: "Follow!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes: "I am seriously injured, and my uncle is in danger, all because of them.
Finding out their identities and then killing them is one of the purposes of our coming to the border.
Maybe these people are spies from the Wujin Kingdom."
The people of Wujin Kingdom and Daliang Kingdom look slightly different, and this woman looks more like a Wujin person.
The two men talked quietly and didn't look at the woman.
The woman looked towards them, and the first person who caught her attention was Qin Nian.
Qin Nian was dressed very casually, in the same half-worn aqua skirt that she often wore.
Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and she wore no hairpins or jewelry. Her clothes and appearance couldn't be more ordinary.
But youth does not need fancy clothes, let alone a stunning beauty like Qin Nian. Her ordinariness cannot conceal her stunning beauty at all.
The men with bad intentions in the tavern had already noticed Qin Nian, but since Qin Nian was with Su Bi, they did not dare to act rashly.
The woman in the goose yellow clothes was attracted and looked at Qin Nian several times. Naturally, she also looked at Su Bi who was with Qin Nian.
She was stunned at the time: This man was poisoned by their master, and then hit by the master, but he didn't die? He was still alive?
That's not all. It looks like the poison has been removed. Impossible. Is there anyone in this world who can remove the poison from the master?
The woman was panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. She no longer looked at Qin Nian and Su Bi, not even once, as if she didn't see them.
It can be seen that this woman must have received professional training.
The waiter came up with the dishes, including two plates of pork belly with glutinous rice and bamboo shoots and beef with coriander, and two bowls of rice.
"My dear guests, please enjoy your meal. The chicken soup will be served soon."
The waiter's eyes fell on Su Bi's face:
"Sir, would you like some white wine? The white wine here is made from sorghum. The alcohol content is not high, but the taste is delicious. Would you like two liang?"
Su Bi shook his head: "No."
The waiter did not continue to persuade: "Okay, enjoy your meal."
After he finished speaking, he carried the tray and walked over like the wind.
Su Bi pushed the dish towards Qin Nian and said, "This dish tastes good, eat more.
Don't worry about that woman. Last time I was careless and fell into their trap.
Not this time.”
Qin Nian nodded, and the two of them ate slowly and chatted quietly.
After about half an incense stick of time, the stewed chicken soup came up.
The black earthenware pot was half full, with oil beads on the surface and steam rising from the soup, which made people hungry just by looking at it.
Su Bi handed the spoon to Qin Nian: "Take some chicken soup and taste how it tastes."
Qin Nian scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and took a sip.
She nodded slightly: "In this bitter cold place, it is really good to drink such chicken soup."
"Hey, my pretty girl, who are you buying the chicken soup for?"
A middle-aged man who was a little drunk walked up to the woman:
"My little beauty, you are so beautiful, who would have the heart to order you to do anything? It's really a waste of God's gift."
Qin Nian almost laughed out loud. It was not easy for such a man who did not know the seriousness of the matter to say such a word as "waste of resources".
This time I had reason to look over.
Qin Nian saw a black clay pot filled with chicken soup on the table in front of the woman.
He was holding two handkerchiefs in his hands, and it seemed that he was planning to leave with the clay pot of chicken soup.
Just at this moment, the drunk middle-aged man came over and blocked the woman's way.
The woman seemed to be frightened and her voice was trembling:
"Sir, my master wants to drink chicken soup. This chicken soup is just right. I want to serve it to him. Please don't be embarrassed."
"Your master? He is so unkind and uncaring, why are you still so devoted to him?
Why don't you just follow me, my master, and be my concubine? You can enjoy the best food and drink with me, and why would you need to serve others?"
The woman looked as if she was about to cry:
"I'm late, and my master will punish me. Please be merciful and don't make things difficult for me."
The man laughed out loud, and his two companions came over and laughed along with him.
