A moment later, in Lord Wei's room, after hearing the guards report the results of the interrogation, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the post station.
"It's Inspector Yin and his men," the guard informed them.
Lord Wei was somewhat puzzled. They had been up all night, why didn't they get some rest? And if it was because of the interrogation results that there was something that needed to be done immediately, shouldn't Yin Qingyun have come to discuss it with him first and agreed before taking any action?
However, Lord Wei knew Yin Qingyun's character and temperament, so he refrained from asking the guard in front of him.
I was just curious. Since the interrogation results were always reported by his subordinates, what more important thing did Yin Qingyun have to do?
At this moment, in the small dormitory, Hong Xiaoduo was afraid that the children would have nightmares at night, so instead of comforting them directly, she asked them with a smile, "How was it? Was I amazing today?"
The children didn't see what happened, but she dealt with the two bad guys without getting hurt, which shows how capable she is.
Despite her exhaustion, Hong Xiaoduo told them a part of Journey to the West, adding that the story was very long and she would tell it to them slowly in the future.
Then, I told everyone to go to sleep.
Hong Xiaoduo is getting more and more used to it. Even after experiencing such a dangerous situation that night, she fell asleep quickly after lying down.
She was sleeping soundly, completely unaware that in some people's eyes, she had become a ruthless and cunning female demon.
As dawn broke, Tian Shu was the first to get up. He went to the stable to feed the donkeys before returning to wash up.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo was sleeping soundly on the quilt, the younger children, without Tian Shu's instructions, quickly dressed, folded their bedding, and washed up without daring to stay in the room.
After searching for several hours with torches and lanterns without finding anything, Yin Qingyun and his companions had no choice but to give up looking for the hidden weapon that pierced the black-clad man's knee in order not to delay their master's journey. As soon as they entered the post station, they handed their horses over to their subordinates, asked for the location of the dormitory room with one adult and seven children, and then hurried there.
Lord Wei, who had already washed up and was waiting for the inn's cook to prepare breakfast, only saw the hurried back of Guard Yin.
"Hey, come here. What's your boss busy with?" Lord Wei couldn't contain his curiosity and asked the guard leading the horse.
The guard didn't feel the need to hide this from the lord, especially since Lord Yin hadn't specifically instructed him not to tell the lord. So, he recounted the whole story.
Hearing the guard's words, Lord Wei was not surprised at all, since he had always felt that the little girl was not simple.
Otherwise, how could she and those seven children be resting and eating so leisurely by the roadside? It's just that I never expected her to be so capable.
"Is she really more capable than all of you?" Lord Wei asked after thinking for a moment.
The guard nodded, looked around, then stepped forward and said in a low voice, "He seems even more powerful than our Chief Yin."
Although they had never actually fought, judging from the injuries on the two men in black, they were pretty much certain. It might be embarrassing to say this, but the facts were undeniable.
Then I saw my father laugh after hearing this.
Look at this, how extraordinary they are! Upon learning that their own guards are not as skilled as a young lady, they are not angry at all, but instead smile so happily.
Huh? The guard suddenly realized something. His master was in a bad mood because of the attack last night, but why did he become happy when he heard about that young lady?
"Alright, go have breakfast." Seeing the postmaster bring over the food box, Lord Wei knew that breakfast had been prepared in the kitchen, so he told the guards to go eat and then turned around and went into the house.
"My lord, it's too hasty and there's not much good food. Please make do with this. I've already ordered someone to buy some, and we'll have something good to eat at noon," the postmaster said apologetically.
Lord Wei waved his hand: "This is already very good. Many people are still starving. People should be content."
"If only other officials were as compassionate towards the suffering of the people as Lord Wei. Please take your time using it, and don't hesitate to give me any instructions if needed," the postmaster said with great emotion.
"What about the food for the one adult and the seven children?" Lord Wei asked.
"Rest assured, sir, everything has been arranged perfectly and there will be no negligence," the postmaster replied.
Last night, when the lord and his entourage entered the post station, they did not explain the relationship between the one adult and the seven children on the donkey cart. However, since they came with Lord Wei and it was Lord Wei who gave the order to settle them, he naturally did not ask any questions.
The inn's registration book also listed the eight people—one adult and seven children—but their identities weren't written down.
It's fine to just add "Wei Tong, Lord Wei, accompanied you" at the beginning.
Meanwhile, when the head of the guards, Yin Qingyun, arrived outside the small dormitory, he found that a group of his men were also there.
What are they doing? They're all entertaining a few kids.
He had no idea when his subordinates had become so fond of children and so patient with them.
"Where are your parents?" Yin Qingyun looked around but didn't see the young woman, so he asked the only child who wasn't being played with.
"Still resting," Tian Shu replied.
Yin Qingyun wondered to himself, "They're still resting, just resting. Could they not have gotten up yet?"
He noticed that whenever his subordinates played with the children and raised their voices even slightly, the children would shush them to be quiet.
At this moment, the postmaster came over carrying two large food boxes and invited the children to have breakfast.
"Thank you, we'll eat over there." Tian Shu gestured for Tian Xuan to take a food box each. Instead of returning to the dormitory, they looked around and saw a corridor nearby, so they called the other children to eat there.
