Chapter 173 Entering the Capital
Lin Xi could feel Xiao Yongyan pushing the door and entering Wang Jing's room.
Wang Jing's residence was on the other side of the two people's room, which was equivalent to the room for three of them, just sandwiching the two killers in the middle.
Although there was a room between them, Lin Xi could still clearly hear Wang Jing's voice due to the poor sound insulation.
"How much did you drink, Lao Li? You just lost money in business, but you can always make it back later. If you ruin your health, you won't even have a chance to turn things around!"
Old Li?
Lin Xi guessed that this was a pseudonym that Wang Jing made up at random in order to avoid revealing Xiao Yongyan's identity.
"I...I just can't accept it!"
Lin Xi immediately recognized that this was Xiao Yongyan's voice. "Tell me, how dare they lie to me!"
"Hey, you know who Xiao Yongyan is. He has deceived so many people," Wang Jing said in a fake way. "When he said he had the Midas touch, you were also deceived!"
"That's right, but he did make gold appear! The people of Yangcheng saw it clearly!" Xiao Yongyan paused and continued, "And his wife, whose name is Lin Xi, can even make a dead person look innocent!"
"Old Li, have you found out where they are now?" Wang Jing asked.
"Yangcheng, it must be in Yangcheng! I think the two of them haven't lied enough. They also said that we must not go south. I guess the next stop is to go west!" Xiao Yongyan said.
The two of them talked a lot, describing the situation vividly. If Lin Xi wasn't the person involved, she would have wanted to catch up with Xiao Yongyan and his wife and give them a good scolding.
Xiao Yongyan and Wang Jing performed so hard, I wonder if the two people next to them were listening.
Later, Wang Jing used the excuse that Xiao Yongyan was drunk to send him back into the house.
Xiao Yongyan pretended to walk unsteadily and mumbled something. Wang Jing saw that Lin Xi did not show any reaction and said to himself, "Old Li, don't do this again in the future. Drink less!"
After saying that, Wang Jing walked out the door and returned to his room.
Xiao Yongyan, who was lying on the bed, hugged Lin Xi into his arms and said in a very low voice, "Go to bed early."
The next morning, everything in the inn was very quiet, as if nothing had happened the night before.
Wang Jing walked to Lin Xi's table, sat down naturally, took the porridge that Lin Xi had just served to Xiao Yongyan, and started eating breakfast.
Xiao Yongyan's gaze seemed to be poisoned, but Wang Jing pretended not to see it.
"The neighbor from last night?" Lin Xi asked in a low voice.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "I went west early this morning."
Lin Xi felt happy but speechless at the same time. The IQ of these two killers was really low and they just believed whatever others said.
"If they don't find the person, will they come back to trouble us?" Lin Xi said.
"It doesn't matter. They don't even know our true identity, so how can they cause trouble?" Xiao Yongyan said.
"That's not right. Since they are here to kill us, can't they recognize our voices?" They are professionals after all, they shouldn't be so lame, Lin Xi thought.
Wang Jing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Not only the voice, but even if I saw the face, I might not recognize it."
Lin Xi was speechless for a while, "Then why are they killing?"
"It's very easy to confirm the identity as long as you ask around a little." Wang Jing said.
Well, this belonged to a world she didn't understand.
After breakfast and a short rest, the three of them immediately started on their journey.
After running for seven full days, using the fastest horses, the three men finally arrived in the capital.
Thinking back on the hardships along the way, Lin Xi felt that the horse was cursing in his heart.
The inspection for entering the capital city was stricter than before. When Wang Jing was outside the city, he did not need to disguise himself, but Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi disguised themselves as mountain people, wearing coarse linen clothes and drawing scars on their faces to conceal their appearance.
When the person checking saw Wang Jing, he immediately asked respectfully, "Sir Wang, are you back from outside?"
Wang Jing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. The sun is so strong. I brought some wine for the brothers."
"Oh, thank you for troubling me, sir!" The gatekeeper naturally accepted the jar of wine from Wang Jing.
Lin Xi was amazed in his heart that a small gatekeeper could put away his things without any need to hide it, just in front of everyone.
Seeing that Lin Xi was always staring at the officer, Xiao Yongyan quickly pulled Lin Xi, and Lin Xi came back to his senses.
"Sir, who are these two?" the officer asked.
Wang Jing said, "I found two craftsmen from outside."
The police officer didn't ask any questions and just let Lin Xi and the other two enter the city.
This was Lin Xi's first time in the capital, and also his first time seeing the capital's wealth and prosperity. The streets were crowded with people, and even the most ordinary streets were wider than those in the county town.
There was an endless stream of vendors hawking their wares on both sides of the street, making the scene unusually lively.
Lin Xi looked at these places and felt really jealous.
"I think the location of the shop here is very good. If I can open my bacon shop here, the business will definitely be very good." Lin Xi said.
Wang Jing immediately responded, "Your bacon business? Lin Xi, isn't your silk paper business the most important thing in Beijing?"
Lin Xi rolled her eyes at Wang Jing and said, "Who told you that I only have rice paper business?"
"What?" Wang Jing was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that the Lin family had left some business for Lin Xi?
"Did I forget to tell you that your sister and I have partnered up in a bacon business?" Lin Xi said.
"Yunong?"
"Yeah, do you have several sisters?" Lin Xi said.
Wang Jing was speechless for a while, "When did you and Yunong make the agreement? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Why do you want to know?" Lin Xi looked straight at Wang Jing.
Wang Jing: "..."
He really didn't know how to answer this question. He turned to look at Xiao Yongyan, "Didn't you say anything?"
Xiao Yongyan looked up at the sky, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Wang Jing gritted his teeth, thinking that he could only go back and ask his sister.
After arriving in the capital, Lin Xi suddenly felt that his accommodation was much better. The standard of the inn was much higher than other places.
"Xiao Yongyan, didn't you say that there is a lot of nightlife in Beijing? Can we go?" Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan with shining eyes.
Xiao Yongyan said, "It should be possible if we disguise ourselves."
Reason told him that he should refuse, but facing Lin Xi's expectant eyes, he really couldn't say no.
"Tonight."
…
Xiao Yongyan never goes back on his word. He said he would take Lin Xi out, so he took Lin Xi to a teahouse in Beijing's nightlife to listen to stories.
This place is crowded with people from all walks of life, but the young men and women with a little reputation in the capital will never set foot here.
Even though Xiao Yongyan's name is quite famous in the capital, there are still many people who don't know him.
