Chapter 133: The Food is Different
Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin exchanged a glance, and she politely declined, "After a long journey, my stomach has been a little uncomfortable these days. I'm afraid I can't eat greasy or cold food. Thank you very much for your kindness." After she finished evading the offer, the waiter came to her with a glass of wine, his face full of concern, and said, "In that case, why don't you have a drink, young lady? This is my own brew. It's very warming and nourishing for the stomach. After drinking it, you will feel warm all over."
"You just got caught in the rain, and right now you need to sweat. Please don't be polite."
The waiter's gaze was intense, as if he would turn hostile and kick them all out in the next second if Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin didn't drink. Qin Xiangnuan realized there was no way to escape, so she could only pick up the cup and drink the wine in it under his gaze, while forcing a smile.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Everyone, please rest early."
The waiter turned and left without lingering. The moment he disappeared, Qin Xiangnuan turned to face the ground, pressed her tongue with her fingers, and spat out all the wine she had just drunk. Jiang Lin did the same, using his internal energy to force the wine out. Even so, a little bit of it still remained in both of their bodies. Qin Xiangnuan frowned and leaned against the doorpost of the inn with Jiang Lin, saying in a serious tone, "There's something in the wine."
"The aroma of that braised beef is not ordinary. It must have been added with something that makes people ecstasy."
After Jiang Lin finished speaking, Qin Xiangnuan turned her head to look at him, and asked in confusion: "Since you have seen it a long time ago, why didn't you stop Anliu, Anfeng and the others? The dark guards have eaten a lot, what should we do later?" The dark guards are naturally alert to danger. Qin Xiangnuan recalled that they were reluctant to eat at first, but Jiang Lin seemed to nod inadvertently, acquiescing to them, and Anfeng was the first to rush over and set an example.
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
"I've tried holding my breath and checking. There are only those two people in this inn. They're not many in number, so there's no need for all the secret guards to be awake..." Jiang Lin whispered softly, close to Qin Xiangnuan's ear, "He's on guard against us. This is the only way to disarm him. And I think, with the Third Miss and I, we're enough to deal with them."
Jiang Lin's breath sprayed on Qin Xiangnuan's ears, which made her feel a little itchy.
Qin Xiangnuan frowned and retorted angrily, "Thank you for your trust, Prince. I hope we don't get into trouble. There's an inn standing in this desolate place, it's most likely a shady place. If it's a robber, it's okay, but if we're unlucky and encounter a murderer, we'll have to work hard!" As Qin Xiangnuan spoke, Jiang Lin suddenly pinched her arm, glanced ahead and said, "Shh, here they come."
Jiang Lin closed his eyes, and Qin Xiangnuan also closed her eyes and fell asleep on his shoulder.
Dong Dong - two footsteps were heard alternately, "Sir? Why are you all sleeping here? The ground is cold, get up quickly." The waiter enthusiastically supported Qin Feng and patted their faces with his hands. After confirming that everyone had been knocked unconscious, he let go of his hands and revealed his true face.
He kicked Wang Qiang and said to the shopkeeper, "Brother, I didn't expect someone would come to my door on their own initiative."
"This group of people brought several horses and a carriage. I just checked it out. There's a lot of stuff on the carriage. I think they're wealthy families in the capital visiting relatives. They must be delivering some fat sheep to us." The waiter rubbed his hands. "We haven't been open for a few days, and we don't have enough meat from the lambs upstairs. The smell is a bit stinky."
There was a hint of disgust in his voice.
Qin Xiangnuan's body suddenly stiffened. She thought of something from his words. She held Jiang Lin's palm, covered it with her sleeve, and quickly wrote a few scribbled words on his palm, "Cannibal Inn."
She had only heard that during famines, inns would always sell steaming hot buns, all made with meat. The flavor was incredibly delicious, so addictive that you'd never want to leave. Later, officials passing by discovered countless bones in the inn's cellar. They realized they were human meat buns. They'd killed everyone who stayed at the inn, shaving their bones and flesh to make food for themselves, earning a living and surviving the famine.
So, that faint smell of blood I smelled when I walked in just now was because of this...
Even Qin Xiangnuan felt a little nervous at this moment. She could feel the drug taking effect, and her vision was gradually blurring. After all, for her, this body's resistance and strength were still at the most basic level. Damn it, she couldn't let down her guard at this moment!
It’s all Jiang Lin’s fault. If he hadn’t been so careless, how could the secret guards have been wiped out?
These two were veteran killers, and even when they were sober, they were likely difficult to deal with. The inn was their territory, and they knew every corner. Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin were already at a disadvantage, and now it was even more difficult. Qin Xiangnuan frowned silently, and Jiang Lin gently tapped her palm with his fingers to reassure her. However, their actions caught the attention of the waiter.
He stared at Qin Xiangnuan for a long time.
"You pervert, you're still thinking about finding a girl at this point?" The shopkeeper thought he had developed evil intentions towards Qin Xiangnuan and chuckled twice, "But this girl is pretty and looks delicious. Drag her to the floor later, and you can use her after you're done, so that I can feel good too. I haven't found a girl to play with for a long time." He said the dirty words, but the waiter took two steps forward.
He stared at Qin Xiangnuan closely. Just as he stretched out his hand, the shopkeeper grabbed his wrist and said, "So urgent? Deal with everyone here first."
"No, I thought I saw her eyes move just now."
The waiter shook his head and tried to look back at Qin Xiangnuan. The shopkeeper patted his shoulder, "You're too nervous! You haven't seen so many people in ages, and you're so excited you're mistaken. This girl looks like she's been pampered and brought up at home, innocent and naive. How could she be on guard against you and me? Even if she's eaten a little less, she'll wake up soon. A weak girl like you and me, can't we handle her?"
"Who knows, it might be a different experience then."
The shopkeeper, with a lewd grin on his face, urged the waiter, "Hurry up and get to work! Lock these people up in the cellar downstairs. Pick out the fat ones and chop them into minced meat first. Keep the rest in ice to prevent them from spoiling. The stench that fills the house won't be concealed, and it will arouse suspicion." They discussed as they walked, dragging Qin Feng from the ground. "Let's take him."
