Because it is far away from Western Xinjiang, it has not been affected by the war. The town is as peaceful as before. There are not many people on the street, and occasionally the cries of vendors can be heard.
Yunlai Inn, the only inn in the town, has been very deserted recently.
The waiter wore his hat crookedly and sat listlessly on a bench, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street and sighing.
This morning the shopkeeper said that if he couldn't do a business today, he would be asked to pack up and get out.
He has been working as a waiter at the Yunlai Inn since he was sixteen years old. Although the store is not big, it is the only business in this town. Guests from the east, west, and south come to Fuyun Town, and they can only stay in Fuyun Town if they want top-notch accommodation.
They stayed at their inn.
But since the Yun Kingdom was invaded by the Xia Kingdom, the Yuguan Pass was broken, and Fuyang County was massacred, there have been few outside guests visiting Fuyun Town, which is far away from Western Xinjiang.
As a result, the business of their inn was not as good as one day or one moment.
The owner and his family are living off the income from this inn. If this continues, not only will he pack up his bags, but the owner will also close down.
Watching the sun set over the west mountain, dusk is approaching.
The waiter frowned with a bitter face, slowly stood up and moved the bench at the door, and when he was about to go back to the backyard to pack up, he seemed to catch sight of two unfamiliar figures from the corner of his eye.
He hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, two people were walking across the street.
One mysterious and one purple, one male and one female.
The man in the black robe is exceptionally tall, while the woman in the purple robe next to him seems to be very weak, with a pale and haggard face, slow steps, and most of her body leaning on the man's side.
"You two gentlemen, please come in! Please! Please!" The waiter, who was still worried about his livelihood just now, seemed to be a different person at this moment. He grinned and stretched out his hand to let the two of them into the store.
There were no other customers in the store, so he led the two of them to sit down in a secluded place by the window. He then diligently served tea and poured water, and said: "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The man in black clothes didn't even raise his head. He took a sip of tea and said, "Take the tip!"
"Stay in the hotel!" After the purple-shirted woman took a sip of tea, she covered half of her face with her sleeves, revealing only a pair of moving eyes, and smiled softly at the waiter.
The waiter trembled suddenly, feeling that the woman in front of him looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and just when he was about to think of it, he heard another voice.
"Hit the point!" The man in black clothes still didn't raise his head, but his tone was a little stiff.
"Stay in the hotel!" The woman in the purple shirt still covered half of her face with one hand and put down the tea cup with the other hand. She seemed to completely ignore the man sitting opposite. She looked at the waiter with a smile and said: "Second brother, prepare the best room for me.
, and all the special delicacies in your store are here!”
The man in black clothes suddenly raised his head and glared at her, "Didn't you... just leave after eating?"
"What are you?! I'm tired and can't walk anymore. I need to have a good meal and get some sleep! If you're in a hurry, you don't have to wait for me!" She snorted softly, rolled her eyes at him, and said.
Faced with the different opinions of the customers, the waiter was a little embarrassed and stood there blankly. The hand holding the teapot trembled slightly. Seeing that the water in her teacup was bottoming out, he hurriedly refilled it first.
For a moment, the waiter in the shop was a little flustered, worried that the deal would be ruined, so he could only urge softly: "Have you two discussed it, should you go to the top or stay in the shop?"
The man in the black shirt was probably at his wits' end, so he shook his head helplessly, waved his hand impatiently at the waiter, and said, "Just do what this girl tells you!"
"Okay! Please wait a moment, we will make arrangements for you right away!" Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately felt happy. He turned around with the teapot in hand and was about to give instructions to the chef, but he felt his sleeve being grabbed by someone.
Then I heard the voice of the woman in purple came again, "Brother, please ask the kitchen to prepare a big bucket of hot water for me. Girl, I want to take a bath! Also, give me a big bucket of apricot blossom stuffed wine from your store."
pot!"
The waiter in the shop was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, nodded and said: "Wait a moment, girl, I'll go get ready right now!"
After the figure of the waiter in the shop gradually faded away, the man in black clothes finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said in a cold voice: "Miss Meng, we are so close to leaving the country. I advise you not to have any other plans!"
The woman in purple clothes sitting opposite him was Xi Meng. If it hadn't been for him that day, she might have been kidnapped to Bingzhou by Lu Li.
But now there is no difference. Leaving the country and joining the state are not what she wants to do, but she cannot make the choice.
During this journey south, she had actually been thinking of ways to delay time. She was originally hoping that Mu Zili would follow his scent and catch up, but it was already the fifth day and she was about to enter and leave again. She was afraid that everything was hopeless.
The Que Hentian in front of her was indeed a tough guy. He had obviously broken his right wing and was seriously injured, but he still carried her on his back.
After leaving Langshan that day, she revealed her true form in anger. Fortunately, he had to spend a little spiritual power to maintain her human form.
After getting along with him for the past few days, she had roughly figured out his temperament. Needless to say, he was loyal to Cang Xuan, but he was still respectful to her, the future lord and wife.
Along the way, no matter how hard she made things, he just endured silently.
For example, today, I originally just bypassed Fuyun Town to enter and leave the country.
But she insisted on saying she was hungry and wanted to eat, so he took her into the town without saying a word.
But they had agreed to leave right after dinner, and now she suddenly changed her mind, so he didn't care about it.
Not long after, the table was filled with various dishes, and the mellow and rich apricot blossom stuffing made it feel like a dream for a while.
That day, when Yifeng and Mu Zili entered the world for the first time, they had their first meal at the Yunlai Inn, and the first bottle of wine they drank was this sweet and delicious apricot blossom wine.
Thinking back to the Bawangzang they ate that day, half of the money turned into withered leaves, and they were chased down the whole street by the waiter and shopkeeper. It was so lively.
Just now, she was afraid that the sharp-eyed waiter in the shop would recognize her, so she kept covering her face with her sleeves.
Today, things have changed and people have changed.
Suddenly, I felt that the originally sweet wine had become extremely bitter, and I drank all the wine in one gulp.
After a long while, he came back to his senses. As his purple eyes flashed, he picked up a peanut with bamboo chopsticks and put it into the pottery bowl in front of Que Hentian. He asked in a low voice: "Chief Que, you are walking around in the world so blatantly.
Aren't you afraid of the demon-subduing army in heaven?"
In fact, although he was in a hurry these past few days, he did not dare to fight against the wind during the day, and only carried her at high speed at night.
Probably he still has some scruples about the demon-suppressing army under his master's control.
Que Hentian just bowed his head and drank, his bamboo chopsticks never moving.
After a moment, I finally heard him say in a deep voice: "My people are all blessed by your Majesty, so they can survive in Lijing until today. If you, girl, would have given me less trouble, we would have already returned to Lijing, so why bother?"
