Chapter 195 Meeting an acquaintance
The shopkeeper's attitude has changed a lot.
When Xia Rongyu and his group walked in, he glanced and lowered his head. When
this young man walked in, the shopkeeper's smile became fawning.
Xia Rongyu was used to flattery, so he was not unfamiliar with such a smile.
He approached Qiao Niannian and whispered: "It seems that someone is going to be taken advantage of."
The shopkeeper's smile was no different from those of the ministers in the court.
As long as those people smiled, it must be bad news.
As expected.
After the young man said he wanted to stay at the inn, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is the best inn nearby. It costs 20 taels of silver per person. Three meals a day are also quite ordinary. If you want to eat anything, you need to order dishes, and you need to add another 10 taels of silver."
In other words,
staying at the inn + eating will cost 30 taels of silver.
The young man didn't expect that staying at an inn in this no-man's land would be so expensive.
Regardless of the room, the silver is the same.
There are more than a dozen people here, so it will cost at least 300 taels.
The guards behind him couldn't help but frown: "Your inn is too shady, one person needs thirty taels."
The shopkeeper's face changed immediately: "This is the price of our inn in a no-man's land. If you don't want to stay, just leave."
After saying that, the shopkeeper returned to his counter, really without any intention of retaining.
The leading man frowned and didn't speak immediately.
At this time, the woman with Mi Lan suddenly reached out and pulled the man's sleeve.
The man then spoke: "Shopkeeper, we will live here, arrange a room!"
The shopkeeper's face changed instantly, and his cold face immediately returned to a flattering smile: "Dear guests, please come in."
He called the waiter to lead the way.
The guard behind him took out more than three hundred taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took the silver and his face turned cold again.
Anyway, the silver was in hand.
It was a coincidence that the group of people lived on the same floor as Qiao Niannian and her friends.
The young man was very protective of the woman behind him. When the woman went upstairs, a gust of wind blew and Qiao Niannian saw her face.
It was Qiao Yueying.
Then this group of people were most likely from the Tianxuan Sect.
These people appeared here, and the most likely reason was to hunt down Prince Yuan Buluqi.
Qiao Niannian pushed open the door and walked in calmly.
Xia Rongyu's room was on Qiao Niannian's left, Qiao Chuanbai was on her right, and the remaining guards lived on each side.
They were two people in one room.
This way, if there was any unexpected situation, they could take action in time.
The two groups of people filled the entire third floor.
Qiao Niannian entered the room, and Qiao Yueying subconsciously turned her head to look over, and saw an ordinary back.
She couldn't help but frown.
The girl just now gave her a very familiar feeling, but the face was very ordinary, and she clearly had never seen it before.
This feeling made Qiao Yueying feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain it.
After Qiao Yueying entered the room, Qiao Niannian used the teleportation talisman to go to Xia Rongyu's room. Xia Rongyu went out and called Qiao Chuanbai in.
Qiao Chuanbai was stunned when he saw Qiao Niannian.
He had been in the room just now and did not feel his sister going out.
His eyes deepened.
After all, his sister is a girl and must keep a distance from Xia Rongyu.
But he still needs to think about this.
Before Qiao Chuanbai could think it through, Qiao Niannian spoke first.
"Brother, Brother Rongyu, did you see the woman with the black veil just now?"
Qiao Chuanbai did notice that there was a woman with a black veil among the people, but he just glanced at her.
Xia Rongyu nodded.
"What's wrong with her?"
Qiao Niannian said: "That woman is Qiao Yueying." As soon as
this was said ,
Qiao Chuanbai was shocked.
"Qiao Yueying?"
"She actually appeared here."
Qiao Yueying was directly expelled from her home because of collusion with Tianxuan Sect, and Qiao Yueying was also taken away by people from Tianxuan Sect.
Her appearance here, doesn't it prove that people from Tianxuan Sect are also here?
Therefore, those people just now were from Tianxuan Sect.
Xia Rongyu almost understood what Qiao Niannian meant after she mentioned Qiao Yueying's name.
"They want to hunt down Prince Yuan Buluqi, which proves that Prince Yuan Buluqi is really in the no-man's land."
Qiao Niannian nodded: "Yes, I sense that among them, there are three masters of mysticism, and they should all be here to track down Prince Yuan Buluqi."
"So Prince Yuan Buluqi must have something on him that can avoid the Sky Eye and calculations."
Qiao Chuanbai looked solemn: "Then we must find Yuan Buluqi as soon as possible. If we are caught by the people of Tianxuanmen, they will probably kill us directly."
Xia Rongyu nodded, but he still had a question.
"The Tianxuan Sect has gone to such great lengths to hunt down Prince Yuan Buluqi in a lawless area. It must be that Prince Yuan Buluqi knows something he shouldn't know."
"Or he has obtained something very important to the Tianxuan Sect, or even related to the new succession."
"Otherwise, there would be no need for the new succession of the Kingdom of Yue to close its borders."
"So Yuan Buluqi is very crucial."
Qiao Niannian nodded: "That's my guess. This thing is probably related to the destiny of the country."
The trick used by Ye Qiuping is exactly the same as the strategy used to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty.
First, he assisted a cruel and merciless prince to ascend the throne, and after ascending the throne, he began to persecute loyal ministers.
A country, even without loyal ministers, will only have treacherous ministers, and the country will begin to fall into chaos.
When the country began to fall into chaos, Ye Qiuping took advantage of the chaos and completely absorbed the country's fortune.
According to the plan, Yue State has already begun to fall into chaos, and it is really unnecessary to close the country.
Unless, Yue State cannot fall into chaos now.
In other words, what Yuan Buluqi has in his hands must be able to affect the country's fortune. Only when that thing is there, the country's fortune will be there, and it can be absorbed by Ye Qiuping.
No wonder Tianxuanmen sent so many people to find Yuan Buluqi.
However, there is something on Prince Yunbroqi that can prevent the mystic master from making calculations about him. Now he can only rely on reasoning.
Qiao Niannian looked at Xia Rongyu.
"If it were you, where would you hide if you knew people from Tianxuan Sect were coming to arrest you?"
Xia Rongyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Then I must be hiding in the Sangui Zone and not going out."
Leaving the Sangui Zone, you will be surrounded by a chaotic environment. Whether you go to the Barbarians or Western Chu, you will almost always become a target.
On the contrary, regardless of the area, everyone is there, and it is chaotic here, so it is the best place to hide.
Qiao Niannian nodded.
Qiao Chuanbai thought the same way.
"Then let's stay here first and see what the people from Tianxuan Sect do."
"I'll pay more attention to what's going on at Tianxuan Sect recently."
The three of them discussed it, and before Qiao Niannian left, she placed a few yellow talismans on the table.
"The other side has people from Xuanmen, and if we put these talismans on us, we can change our faces and gather our aura to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Xia Rongyu nodded: "I'll give them the things later."
Qiao Niannian got Xia Rongyu's answer and then left.
