Chapter 2967 Trap?
But just as they were about to go back, Nan Yan suddenly looked up and saw a figure flash by in the crowd.
"Um?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously walked forward.
Just then, a group of onlookers came running over from the front and didn't notice her at all, almost knocking her to the ground. Zhu Feng reached out and hugged her.
"What are you doing?!"
"ah?"
Nan Yan was still a little dazed. She looked up at him, then looked ahead with some confusion. The end of the long street was empty, with only the cold moonlight shining on the wall and street corners, giving people a cold feeling.
It formed a sharp contrast with the blazing fire in the inn behind them.
It also made Nan Yan suddenly wake up.
Did I see it wrong?
The figure that just flashed by has now completely disappeared. Could it be my illusion?
Seeing her somewhat dazed look, Zhu Feng asked again: "What's wrong with you?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment before shaking her head: "Nothing."
"Um?"
The two of them had been together for so many years, and even if she denied it, Zhu Feng could clearly feel that something must have happened.
So he asked, "What happened?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at the deserted, somewhat desolate street opposite and said softly, "Just now, I seemed to see someone. It seemed like someone familiar, but I can't remember who it was. I can't find it..."
“…”
"Maybe it's an illusion."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng also looked up and forward. There was indeed no one on the long street opposite. He also saw the people who just walked towards him. They were just people from the town who came to watch the fun.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't think too much about it. It's getting late. We should find a place to stay. I see that you are a little tired, and Ran Xiaoyu's body can't hold on."
Ran Xiaoyu was beside her and immediately said, "I'm fine."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and shook his head slightly.
He just said, "Let's go."
In fact, they didn't have to be so embarrassed.
After handing over the nearly 1,000 dan of grain in his hands, he had already predicted that the other party's first thought would be to attack him. After all, after what happened with Ye Zheng, the people of Hengsheng Bank would no longer trust others easily. These people's main business was banditry, and killing people and looting was their main business.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had made preparations and asked Li Bushan to follow him closely to prevent these people from attacking him.
But even so, for safety reasons, he still cautiously sent people to keep an eye on the area near Hang Seng Bank.
However, he didn't expect that the troops sent by these people were not just here to kill him. They were actually going to burn down the guest rooms on the second floor of Gaosheng Inn, and burn to death this "Master Huang", his wife, and the servants in his household!
Hearing this news, Zhu Feng felt even colder in the heart.
I underestimated these pirates.
He is indeed cruel and ruthless, with no humanity at all.
Since this was the case, he certainly couldn't let Nan Yan and the others get into danger. So, after getting the news, he immediately took them out of the back door of Gaosheng Inn and went to the restaurant opposite to watch a show.
However, the time is too short and I haven’t found a place to stay yet.
It's already so late, and if there's no inn to stay, is it really possible that he, the Emperor of Yan, along with his concubine, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and so many people, will have to sleep on the streets?
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng frowned.
Just then, two people came from the end of the long street.
At this time, the sky was already very dark, with only the bright moon above their heads emitting a cold light illuminating them. They could not see the two people clearly, and could only look at their outlines and barely make out that they were two women with agile figures, walking towards them step by step.
It seemed that it was directed at them.
Li Bushang immediately took his two men and walked forward to block them.
Soon, the two men approached.
They were indeed two women, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with pretty faces and dressed in plain white. In such a night, they gave people a sense of Taoist immortality.
Moreover, they stopped when they were a few steps away from Li Bushang.
At the same time, he raised his hands and saluted them.
One of them said, "There are too many people here, so we can't be polite."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
The other party's words clearly showed that he knew their identities, and that they were hiding their identities, so he said "no such courtesy".
But who are they?
It seems that he doesn't know him at all.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked up at Zhu Feng. He narrowed his eyes slightly. This expression showed that he was defensive and even hostile in his heart. However, there was no other expression on his face.
He simply said, "Who are you?"
The two young women said, "My master invites you all to stay at my humble abode. We hope you will do us the honor of visiting us."
“…”
They were even a little surprised.
You know, the inn was burned down, and they might not be able to find a place to stay tonight. Two women unexpectedly appeared and asked them to stay. It was like someone bringing a pillow when you wanted to sleep.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
However, for people like them who have lived in the turbulent previous dynasty and the treacherous harem for many years and are extremely wary of others, it is impossible for such a good thing to happen in the world, and it is even more impossible for such a coincidence to happen.
If there is, it must be the bait on the trap.
However, at this time, they actually wanted to see what the trap under the bait was.
After all, how could someone suddenly appear in such a strange place and know their identities and invite them over? If he came to invite them so openly, perhaps the other party's purpose was not ordinary.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan looked up at Zhu Feng: "Husband?"
Zhu Feng remained silent and looked at the two women.
Said: "Lead the way."
Li Bushang frowned and turned to look at him: "Emperor——"
After all, he was the only Jinyiwei commander accompanying the emperor on this trip. If something happened, especially to her, he would never be able to forgive himself.
But Zhu Feng had obviously made up his mind.
With just a wave of his hand, Li Bushang had no choice but to retreat.
The two girls said, "Please follow us."
After saying that, he turned and walked forward.
Xiajiang Town at night was as quiet as a huge bonsai. They walked on the empty and deserted street and could only hear their own footsteps, which made the end of this journey seem even more mysterious.
After walking for a long time, we probably had already walked through half of the town.
Finally, they saw a mansion in front of them with bright lights at the door.
A figure was standing at the gate, greeting them from afar.
