Gu Qingying didn't have many requirements for the inn. It didn't need to be too luxurious, as long as it was clean and hygienic.
When it comes to choosing an inn, the servants arranged by Shen Yunzheng can be said to be very handy. The inns I stayed at these two nights were all good.
Because the carriage was slow and there was not much time to travel, Gu Qingying and the others did not go very far in three days.
The inn was inspected inside and out by guards, and even the shopkeeper and waiter were interrogated.
As soon as Tomato entered the inn, she went directly upstairs to make the bed.
She had to confirm whether the bedding on the bed had been changed, and whether the bed was soft or not.
Lu Qingying was not stingy with his guards and servants. Although his servants had money, Gu Qingying would still treat everyone to delicious food and drinks.
After ordering a few dishes from the inn, Gu Qingying slowly waited for the food to be served.
The guard was very careful and checked all the dishes to make sure they were not poisonous before letting Gu Qingying eat them.
Just then, Tomato came down the stairs and said, "Master, the bed is made."
Gu Qingying asked Hongshi to eat with her, and also asked the guards and servants to eat and rest quickly.
Hongshi whispered: "Master, can I go to town for a walk after dinner?"
It's definitely okay to go shopping. Lu Qingying is very relieved about Hongqi and is not worried that Hongqi will be bullied. With Hongqi's current ability, he can definitely deal with one or two people.
"Let a guard accompany you to go shopping later. When I came here, I saw that this town is quite big and it is probably near the official road. After you go out, you can help me buy a few books and come back. I can just do it. have a look."
She didn't want to go out and walk around, and she didn't know why. She was very tired these past two days.
Obviously the carriage moved very smoothly, and I was not in a hurry every day. The carriage was also padded with soft cushions, so it should be very comfortable.
But she is just tired. For example, even if she eats now, she wants to sleep.
After eating, Gu Qingying went upstairs.
As soon as she went upstairs, she came to the window, took out a long string of bells from the baggage on the table, and placed the bells directly around the window.
Although there were guards and servants upstairs and downstairs, and servants were arranged to be on duty, she was not at ease.
As a top mercenary, she knows very well that her destiny must be in her own hands to be safe and reliable.
She clearly knew that the killer from Xiaoyulou might come to assassinate her, but she would not be so stupid as to sit back and relax, and die without knowing how.
Tomato walked around for a while and then came back, holding several books in his hands.
She came to the door of Gu Qingying's room, listened carefully, and after making sure there was no movement in the room, she guessed that Gu Qingying was resting, so she went to the next room.
Lu Qingying slept soundly, she was really tired.
Late at night, she faintly heard the sound of several bells ringing, and Gu Qingying immediately opened her eyes.
Turning his hand, he held the dagger in his hand.
It was pitch dark in the house, and one could only vaguely see that the closed window had been opened a crack.
She immediately sat up, put the pillow under the quilt, put her bare feet on the ground, and climbed directly to the beam with flexible movements. Then she looked at the window warily.
She lived on the second floor, and behind the window was an alley, which was a dead end.
This position is a favorite for killers.
Because it is easy to hide, it is not easy to be discovered.
It seemed that the person who opened the window did not expect that there would be a bell. After a while, the killer was probably making sure that he had not woken her up.
Then, Lu Qingying saw a hand reaching into the room through faint light, and then smoke entered the room.
Lu Qingying took out the cloth she had prepared in advance and put it on.
The person outside the window waited for another quarter of an hour before slowly taking off the bell she had wrapped around the window.
Then a black figure landed in the house with vigorous movements.
The black figure was particularly alert and glanced at her on the bed.
Then she approached cautiously step by step, the dagger in her hand shone with cold light, and then Gu Qingying saw the black figure's dagger piercing the quilt.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qingying moved the moment the black figure made a move, jumped down from the beam, and then stabbed the black figure directly with the dagger.
The black figure was also extremely fast. He turned around and started fighting with Gu Qingying.
The sound of fighting alerted the people on duty and also alerted the guards living on the second floor.
Soon it was bright outside, and then someone rushed in, each holding a torch.
Lu Qingying could see the black figure clearly through the light, and judging from the size, she turned out to be a woman.
She immediately became interested and showed mercy to the woman.
Although he showed mercy, after dozens of moves, the woman was still captured by Gu Qingying.
The guard tied up the woman, and when Gu Qingying took off the cloth from the woman's face, what he saw was an extremely childish face. It seemed that the woman was no more than fifteen years old.
"You came out to be a killer at such a young age?" Gu Qingying said with interest.
The woman looked at Gu Qingying, her eyes full of unwillingness: "How did you find me?"
She is famous for her strong skills in Xiaoyulou and has completed many tasks.
She has been relying on her kung fu to kill countless people.
Despite her young age, she is only fifteen this year, but she has been a killer in Xiaoyulou for three years.
Today, she fell directly into the hands of Gu Qingying. When she came here, she heard from her colleagues in Xiaoyulou that Gu Qingying was a tough nut to crack.
Several killers have already died at the hands of Gu Qingying.
She thought the mission could be completed, but she was discovered by Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying smiled and said, "What's your name?"
Of course the woman didn't say anything.
Gu Qingying continued: "You tell me your name, and I will tell you how I found you."
The woman then said unnaturally: "Everyone calls me Nightingale!"
Gu Qingying savored the name carefully and praised: "It's a good name and suits you very well."
Nightingale groaned, but she was not afraid of death. From the day she chose to be a killer, she had been aware of death, and urged: "You haven't told me how you found me?"
Tomato looked at Nightingale warily and moved a chair for Gu Qingying.
After Gu Qingying sat down, he stared at Nightingale gently and explained slowly: "Because my kung fu is better than yours, you must be from Xiaoyulou! My reward of two thousand taels of silver is not easy to earn, you should know
Several killers in Xiaoyulou have already died in my hands."
She became curious about Xiaoyulou. This organization was really interesting. Even though several killers had died, the reward was still not withdrawn. It seemed that Xiaoyulou was a place that valued rules very much.
This is similar to the previous mercenary groups. Everyone uses bounties to complete tasks and make money.
There was unwillingness in Nightingale's eyes, but she still said: "I know everything I want to know. If you want to kill me, I will kill you."
But Gu Qingying smiled: "If you were a big and thick man, I might kill you, but you are a delicate girl and I can't bear to do it. You go away! I won't kill you."
Hongshi worriedly said: "Master, you must not do this."
