What Li Qi said to Chu Changzui at that time seemed to have a deeper meaning.
However, Chu Changzui did not have time to think about it at that time.
Wu Chuan heard it clearly from the side.
He listened for a while and roughly heard what the two people next to him were arguing about. It seemed that the owner of the Nameless Inn had a new love recently. The name of the new love was unknown, and the two employees had a conflict over whether to intervene in this matter.
Wu Chuan thought that the owner just had a new love, why were the employees of the inn so emotional?
"Forget it, you can just not interfere in this matter." Chu Changzui gave up and continued to persuade Li Qi.
He turned his head and trotted back to the house.
Wu Chuan carefully put his head back again.
There are indeed many strange things in this inn. Wu Chuan has only been here for a few days, but he has already felt it. However, he has not yet directly exposed his thoughts.
Rather than exposing himself so quickly, it is better to collect information for a few more days.
Of course, the most important thing is that his skills may not last more than five minutes if exposed.
In this case, he might as well take a good look at the latest storybook in his hand.
Wu Chuan lowered his head and thought while holding the book in his hand.
Recently, there are often some storybooks in the world that he has never read before. For Wu Chuan, these storybooks can be regarded as excellent teaching materials, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of how to write storybooks.
And some of the lines in it are not the same as those seen in the previous storybooks, but they also have a different flavor when read.
For example, the book in his hand is about the best swordsman in the world and the most beautiful woman in the world. The swordsman is usually taciturn and always likes to give instructions to the beauty, but this book is selling very well.
It is said that many young ladies who are waiting to be married would sneak out to various teahouses just to listen to this story.
"This kind of thing is unnecessary for you."
The best swordsman in the book slowly wiped off the makeup on the face of the most beautiful woman in the world. This is the most exciting part of the whole story.
The most beautiful woman has used thick makeup to hide her true beauty.
People always see her face that is as beautiful as a fairy after retouching, but few people know her original beautiful face.
Only the swordsman, who always liked to confront her, gently wiped off the powder on her face at this time, revealing the true appearance of that face.
Even though Wu Chuan was a man, he looked at this scene and understood why so many young ladies who were waiting to be married would specially run out to listen to this part of the story.
When he was reading the storybook, a pigeon suddenly flew in from the outside and landed on his window, pecking at the window frame with its mouth.
Wu Chuan shuddered, and quickly let the pigeon in and took the letter off its feet.
"-Someone will raid the inn tonight."
In the dark night, this news was like a thunderbolt that hit Wu Chuan's heart.
Wu Chuan shuddered when he saw it, then crumpled up the letter, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
It's over, it's over, is this thing happening so quickly? He was not mentally prepared at all.
Feng Qing had already done the makeup for Mr. Model upstairs at this moment.
Today's Mr. Model was a peerless beauty who could move cities and kingdoms, the Bao Si who caused King You of Zhou to light beacons and mock the princes, and the fox spirit of King Zhou.
She changed Mr. Model's clothes into a bright red robe, painted his face with fancy colors, and chose a wig that was long and curly, almost reaching his ankles and neck.
These hair and clothes could almost cover the entire floor.
"Have you finally awakened to your incredible hobby recently?" Feng Qing's friend chatted with her on a video call.
"How can that be? Isn't this still at the stage of normal human hobbies?" Feng Qing carefully drew the same eyeliner as Yan Mo Ai for Mr. Model, but her hands were shaking, so she drew half and wiped half.
"Then why did you buy such a thing?"
"For fun." Feng Qing said, "Anyway, I'm bored, so I'll open an account for Mr. Model in the future, post some Douyin videos or something, and make some money to supplement the family income. Then the topic will be called "Three Thousand Days and Nights with Mr. Human Model", how about it?"
"Can it be posted? I will be sued..."
"Ah, really?"
Just as Feng Qing was talking about all kinds of nonsense with her friends, a group of people sneaked into the inn.
Wu Chuan lay on his bed, his heart beating wildly.
He has not slept since he received the pigeon message. He may have to stare at the ceiling all night tonight.
Although he knew before coming here that Wuming Inn often faced inquiries from various forces, this was the first time he faced it directly.
Wu Chuan, who used to live a relatively stable life in the capital, although not a life of luxury, is now really panicked.
Wait...
he suddenly remembered something.
What did the two waiters in the inn say just now?
Wu Chuan's eyes suddenly changed from fear to thinking.
His eyes turned around.
It seems that the shopkeeper has been staying with his new love these days.
In other words, if this group of people want to ambush the shopkeeper, then they might meet the new love?
He thought about it, put on his shoes carefully and walked downstairs, pretending to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The kitchen was only separated from the lobby by a wall, so it was easier to hear what happened there.
Of course, Wu Chuan knew that there was only one reason why he was so fierce at this moment.
He was actually a bit gossipy by nature, and he wanted to know what the shopkeeper's new lover looked like.
Was it the peerless beauty who could conquer the whole country?
Or was it someone's beautiful bride who was worthy of being kept in a golden house?
In fact, there was something that Wu Chuan had always been curious about.
He remembered that when he mentioned this new love just now, the attitude of a waiter in the guest house was a little strange.
He called exploring this new love "a very scary thing."
What's so scary about this?
Wu Chuan can write storybooks, so he naturally has a rich imagination, but at the moment he can't think of how a mere new love can be associated with the word "horror".
There are things in this world that he can't imagine, and Wu Chuan is indeed very curious.
What he doesn't know is that at this moment, there are many people in the inn who are not asleep besides him.
...
"That group of guys should be here soon, right?"
Li Qi sat in his room, waiting seriously.
If An Huoshaxi's intelligence tonight is correct, a group of people will come to the inn in a while and want to attack the shopkeeper.
An Huoshaxi had informed everyone in the inn of this news about three days ago, but such things are normal for the inn. Everyone is no longer so excited.
There are only two people on duty tonight, one is Li Qi and the other is Chu Changzui.
Li Qi turned his head and glanced at the side.
If it were normal, Chu Changzui would also be waiting seriously at this time, but today he has not shown up.
What is this guy thinking?
Could it be... he wants to use those people to spy on the identity of the shopkeeper's new lover?
After just thinking for a second, Li Qi already knew Chu Changzui's purpose.
He waited here quietly for a long time, and then he heard very subtle footsteps in the lobby.
If it were normal, Li Qi should have taken action at this time and stopped them all, but today he was not in a hurry to do so.
His eyes were staring quietly outside.
Those people have already climbed up the stairs.
Feng Qing is drawing eyebrows for her model.
Eyebrows are always an unpredictable thing for Feng Qing. When she draws them seriously, they usually look particularly ugly. When she is in a hurry to go out and just draws a few strokes, the eyebrows usually look better.
So when she wants to draw a good-looking eyebrow seriously, she usually chooses this method.
- Use all your strength to pretend that you don't care, and don't pay any attention to drawing eyebrows. What matters is a deliberate casualness.
Feng Qing calls it Schrodinger's way of drawing.
However, just as she was drawing eyebrows wholeheartedly, a group of people had quietly touched the door and looked into the house.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world.
Not only the waiters of the inn, but also some regular customers of the inn have known that the shopkeeper has a new lover recently.
Once the regular customers know about it, it means that most people in the world also know about it.
So the group of people who came to raid the inn at night today just wanted to find out about it.
They curiously put their eyes over to see what was going on inside.
At this moment, Wu Chuan in the kitchen had already pricked up his ears.
Has that group of people arrived?
He seemed to be able to see what happened in the lobby.
...
The group of people tried their best to focus their sight inside the door, wanting to see the appearance of the peerless beauty inside.
For a moment, the lobby was very quiet, and it seemed that nothing had happened.
What was Wu Chuan thinking? That guy was just trying to scare people, and there was nothing going on.
Since there was nothing going on, how could there be any scary things...
Chu Changzui, who was hiding in a corner of the lobby, was also observing the movements of those people.
He looked at the reactions of those people, and felt a little disappointed.
In fact, after Li Qi said that to him, he thought about it for a long time, but he just couldn't guess the answer.
However, judging from the reactions of this group of people, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
It seemed that there was really just an ordinary beauty inside...
Feng Qing in the room was tying the last belt for Mr. Model.
This is the last step. After completing this step, she can take some nice photos and then upload them to the Internet.
However, the position of this belt is a little low.
After Feng Qing tied it, he saw that the belt seemed to have a bulge, and he felt a little unhappy.
Ah, what a nuisance, just like the tomatoes in scrambled eggs.
The group of people outside were carefully watching what the shopkeeper in the room was doing.
The shopkeeper gently took off the clothes of the beauty.
Only one candle was lit on the candlestick next to it, and the light around was dim.
His movements were so gentle.
So much so that the group of people who were secretly watching thought that something romantic would happen next.
The beauty's shoulders were half exposed, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked so beautiful.
That's right, only such a person could capture the heart of the shopkeeper.
However, there is still the saying that beauty brings disaster in this world.
...
Feng Qing took off Mr. Model's clothes and took a look down. Suddenly she found something unexpected.
Oops?
She reached out and touched down.
...
"The legendary shopkeeper is just like this." The people outside sneered in their hearts.
"He has lost his sense of propriety in front of a woman. Even the people outside didn't realize it."
"I think those people above are a little too exaggerated about him. What's so scary about this person? No matter how you look at him, he is just an ordinary person..."
He just thought so, but suddenly saw the shopkeeper's men exert a little force.
"That kind of thing is unnecessary for you."
This is the line in the most fashionable script at the moment.
The protagonist in that story is the best swordsman in the world.
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to meet such a person, it is not too embarrassing for the shopkeeper to say this at this moment.
However, it makes people outside a little disdainful.
Why? Is this shopkeeper also reading that story recently?
Could it be that he thinks the beauty's makeup is not good-looking? Want to learn from the swordsman in the story and wipe off the makeup on her face?
You know, when a swordsman indulges in love affairs, it is the beginning of her downfall.
The killer outside just showed a disdainful smile on his face, and he was going to go back and report to his superiors that the shopkeeper was no longer a concern.
Then, his expression suddenly froze for a second.
He saw the shopkeeper in the room put his hand on the beauty...
This posture looked very ambiguous, as if he was going to kiss the woman lying in his arms.
Then, the shopkeeper's hand suddenly exerted a little force.
He pulled down a very familiar object, and then threw it out very casually.
...
Everyone at the door was petrified.
Everything happened too fast, catching them off guard. Before
they could react, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, as if he realized something.
The killers outside the door saw the shopkeeper quietly turning his head and looking at the door.
And they were standing at the door.
- In the silent inn.
Several horrific screams suddenly rang out.
Those were the screams that were made after seeing something extremely terrifying.
Anyone who heard the screams would know how terrified the person making the screams was at that moment.
Then, several dark shadows rushed out of the inn as if they were running for their lives, without even looking back.
Wu Chuan, who was hiding in the kitchen, was suddenly frightened and shivered.
He was completely stunned.
What was going on? Why did he suddenly scream like that?
Chu Changzui was also shocked. It turned out that Li Qi, that guy, didn't lie to him?
In the entire inn, only Li Qi had an expression that showed he had seen through everything.
"So, I've told you everything, right?" His tone revealed a calmness that seemed to have seen through the world.
"Some secrets are absolutely not to be explored."
