Chapter 0158 Old Accounts
In the inn, the waiter sat down sighing.
They are an inn located on the official road, with no village in front and no shop behind. All the food in the inn is grown by the old shopkeeper's family, or they drive a ox cart to the city to purchase it every one or two months. It takes two days and two nights to go back and forth, which shows how remote this place is.
Don't expect many guests in such a remote place. Usually, the guests who stop by here are either businessmen or big men who are wrapped up tightly. There are few people who are on their way. The waiter has worked here for six years. This is the first time he has seen a man who looks like a nobleman come in. In the end, he ran away after staying for half a night.
It’s only been half a night... How despised are they here!
So not only Xiao Rong felt that his life was over, this fellow also felt that his life was over. …
For a moment, he even had the idea of changing jobs. There was no future here, so he might as well go to the city to try his luck!
Just as he was seriously thinking about this important life event, the door was suddenly pushed open. The waiter looked up and found that Xiao Rong had returned.
The waiter was stunned, then delighted. Just as he was about to stand up to greet them, he saw Xiao Rong was leading a man behind him. The latter was dressed as a warrior, but completely different from the warriors he usually saw. He glanced over and felt like the top of his head was about to be blown open.
Xiao Rong didn't say anything to the waiter. He just took out a piece of gold from his waist and placed it on the counter beside him. Then he smiled at the waiter and quickly went upstairs with the man.
Xiao Rong went straight to his room, and the man followed him in. The waiter looked at them blankly, not understanding what was going on. After realizing what was going on, he grabbed the gold and wanted to go upstairs to return it to Xiao Rong. After all, he had only booked one room and paid the money, so there was no need to pay silver. What's more, this was only one piece of gold, enough to rent their shop for two months.
However, the next second, another noise interrupted the guy's actions.
There were footsteps coming from behind. The waiter turned around and saw a group of big men with swords walking in from outside. They all had solemn expressions. They didn't say anything when they came in. They just found a place to sit down.
There were only two tables on this floor, and they were quickly filled. People who came in later had to stand. They didn't complain, but just lowered their heads in thought, as if something big had just happened.
One of the people sitting among them had red eyes and sniffed from time to time. After he sniffed three times, the person next to him couldn't stand it anymore, looked up suddenly and glared at him.
The person who was being glared at shrank his neck, then stretched it out defiantly, while the person who was glaring at him looked annoyed, but seemed to be hesitating about something and did not say a word.
This was the new commander of the personal guards recommended by Dongfang Jin after he was promoted. General Dongfang once said that to be a commander, one must have a strong heart, but he never expected that he would be strong in this aspect.
It was already annoying enough that he didn't fit in with his colleagues, but the waiter in this inn was so inconsiderate that he kept staring at them.
He couldn't spoil the fun of his colleagues, so could he not spoil the fun of his buddies?
"roll."
Guy: “Okay.”……*
Previously, Xiao Rong had planned to travel day and night, but now he changed his mind and returned to the room. As the room was not big and there was no place to sit, Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong sat on the bed together.
Qu Yunmie was still in a somewhat embarrassed state. After all, he had cried quite pitifully just now. He prepared himself mentally before looking up at Xiao Rong, who had been looking at him the whole time.
Late night, solitude, candlelight, warmth.
Everything was just right. Qu Yunmie's heart moved. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to say something, but the next second, a sawing snoring sound came from next door.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
After a while, the sound stopped, Qu Yunmie opened his mouth again, and the saw bow next door started working again.
Xiao Rong was holding back his laughter. Seeing him like this, Qu Yunmie's face became darker and darker. After a moment of silence, he simply clenched his fist and slammed the wall next to him. The inn was made of wood. When Qu Yunmie punched it, the wood in the wall instantly cracked and the soil fell down with a clatter. Fortunately, it didn't collapse. ...
The snoring next door stopped abruptly. Xiao Rong looked at the wall with a long crack in shock. After a long while, he said, "A piece of broken gold is still too little..."
Xiao Rong lowered his jaw and glared at Qu Yunmie: "Look at what you have done!"
