The capital was eight hundred miles away from Dongling Pass. Yan Qing didn't want to rush on the road, and he didn't want to see Rong Che yet, so he decided to travel a hundred miles a day, and then take some time to rob the rich and help the poor.
But the problem now is that she told Bailixi that once she goes to Beisongguan, she can no longer go east directly, but has to go north anyway. In this case, it is best to leave earlier to save herself from wasting time and taking a long detour.
Therefore, we must part ways with Prissy as soon as possible.
At noon, they were nearly a hundred miles away from Yuji Mountain. In front of them was a place called Qingyun Town.
"Junior sister, let's go in and take a rest at noon!"
"Listen to senior brother." Yan Qing nodded and smiled.
The two walked into the town, chose a clean restaurant, went in and ordered a few dishes and a plate of steamed buns.
The waiter served a pot of tea and said: "Two distinguished guests, please wait a moment."
As soon as Bailixi saw that the teapot and bowl were still clean, she poured a bowl of tea for Yan Qingzheng, and then poured a bowl for herself.
Yan Qing watched him pick up the tea cup without frowning, drink it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "It seems that Senior Brother Baili has adapted well."
Bailixi just smiled: "It's time to go out and gain experience. It's good to have such conditions, how can you be so particular!"
As he said this, he glanced at Yan Qingzheng and admired her from the bottom of his heart. She was a girl who did not complain about hardships or tiredness during her training. If a grown man like him still cares about everything, wouldn't he look too squeamish?
While they were talking, the two of them had already drank half a pot of tea. The waiter ran twice to bring the food they had ordered and said, "You two gentlemen, please take your time!"
Halfway through the meal, Yan Qingzheng suddenly asked: "Brother Baili, do you still have enough money on you?"
Prissy nodded, reached for her purse, and asked, "Junior sister Yan, do you need any money? Junior sister, just take as much as you want."
"That's not true. Senior Brother Baili comes from a Xuanmen family. I thought he was incompetent in general affairs. It turns out you know how to bring money!"
"Junior sister Yan..." Baili Xiyi said with a wry smile: "Stop teasing senior brother, that's all because you are young and ignorant..."
Yan Qing was giggling. Baili Xiyi once made a joke when he went down the mountain for the first time a few years ago, because there were always people who were waiting for him in Tianyimen, and someone took care of his food and clothing expenses.
, and for some rare items such as spiritual weapons and magic weapons, only spiritual stones are required for trading. He didn't have any money with him when he went down the mountain, and only brought some spiritual stones with him.
Later I learned that people at the foot of the mountain only care about money!
In desperation, he had no choice but to borrow money from his fellow apprentices. It was the first time in his life that Baili Xiyi had borrowed money, and he had always been ashamed of it.
If anyone else had mentioned this matter, he would have turned against him a long time ago, but when Yan Qing mentioned it, he could only feel helpless.
Yan Qing was laughing for a while, remembering the mistake he made by treating the apology as a betrothal gift, and suddenly felt that he had no qualifications to laugh at Baili Xiyi.
She coughed slightly, thinking that it was a good thing that Priscilla didn't know about this...
The two were chatting and joking when a veiled woman came in from the outside. The woman was slim and graceful. After she came in, she walked straight to the shopkeeper, took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the counter. She said softly: "Shopkeeper, I want a room for two."
The private room next to the window upstairs has the best food and wine on the table."
The shopkeeper picked up the broken silver, weighed it, and immediately smiled brightly: "It's easy to talk, girl, please go upstairs."
The shopkeeper left the counter and personally led the woman upstairs. After a while, he came down to the kitchen and ordered the food.
No wonder he was happy. In such a remote town, this scrap of silver could equal the restaurant's entire day's income.
Prissy glanced at the door calmly, then glanced in the direction of the stairs, thoughtfully.
"Junior sister Yan, have you eaten?"
"alright."
"Then let's leave early!" Baili Xiyi said softly, and then raised her voice: "Waiter, check out!"
Yan Qing was stunned and asked, "Senior brother, is there something urgent?"
"That's not true." Baili Xi asked: "Junior sister Yan, do you want to sit there for a while longer?"
"No, I just want to go back..." Yan Qing was blushing a little.
After these days of traveling, Baili Xi suddenly understood. He quickly said: "Junior sister Yan, please help yourself. I also want to drink a pot of tea."
Yan Qingzheng said in a low voice: "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Baili."
The waiter had already come over, and Bailixi paid the bill.
Yan Qing was getting up and asked the waiter in a low voice. The waiter understood clearly and pointed to the passage leading to the back kitchen and said: "Go out from there and turn left. The small room at the end is the hair room. There is a hanging hanging on it.
brand."
Yan Qing thanked him directly and walked over.
At this time, Bailixi saw the waiter carrying a large tray filled with wine and food, and went directly to the second floor, presumably to deliver it to the private room reserved for the woman just now.
Bailixi looked at the empty door, then at the passage where Yan Qing was passing, and frowned.
He had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with that woman, and it was definitely not a good thing. At other times, he might have stayed to watch the show, but now that he was with Yan Qing, he still wanted to retain his image as a gentleman.
Moreover, Yan Qingzheng is still underage and is really not suitable to witness such messy things.
Sure enough, a young man walked in at the door. His peach-blossom eyes scanned the lobby as soon as he entered. No woman was found, so he walked upstairs.
The waiter saw this and asked: "Who are your guests?"
The man threw away the folding fan with a swipe, fanned himself, raised his eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone: "We have an appointment!"
After saying that, he grinned, lifted his robe and went up the stairs.
The waiter looked at the shopkeeper blankly, but the shopkeeper shook his head slightly, signaling him not to mind his own business.
The waiter shook the rag on his shoulders and went back to greet the guests in the lobby.
It only took the man upstairs to have a cup of tea, but four or five big men came outside the door, led by a somewhat thin scholar.
As soon as they entered the door, they looked at all the guests in the lobby, then winked at each other and stared firmly in the direction of the stairs.
A few people walked over, leaving two people guarding the stairs. The remaining people followed the thin scholar upstairs. This time, the waiter did not come forward to strike up a conversation, and the shopkeeper did not say anything, because these people had expressions on their faces as soon as they saw him.
Not good.
Bailixi looked again at the direction Yan Qing was going out. She would have to pass the stairs when she came back from there.
Soon, noises came from upstairs, mixed with the woman's exclamations.
There was a sudden commotion upstairs, and the sound of tables, chairs and benches clattering could be heard constantly.
The waiter slowly walked over and stood behind the shopkeeper. Both of them looked upstairs with worried eyes, but were frightened by the two big men guarding the stairs and did not dare to rush up to take a look.
The guests in the lobby paid their bills and left, and in the end, only Priscilla was left sitting alone at the table in the center of the lobby.
This attracted the attention of the two big men guarding the stairs.
The two looked at each other, and one of the big men was about to walk over when he suddenly heard a scream from upstairs, and even the street became commotion. The woman upstairs screamed and cried, while the thin scholar rushed down and shouted
: "That kid jumped out of the window and ran away, hurry up and chase him, don't let him run away!"
Several big men rushed out immediately, with the thin scholar running behind, and took a special look at Baili Xiyi who was calm and composed.
After everyone left, the shopkeeper dared to go upstairs to take a look. It didn't matter. He suddenly shouted: "Come... someone is here! Someone is dead!"
The shopkeeper stumbled downstairs, and he and the waiter huddled behind the counter, shivering.
Baili Xiyi was in a dilemma. He was worried that Yan Qing hadn't come back for so long, but he couldn't go and look for her.
And under the current circumstances, if he doesn't go up to confirm the woman's life or death, he may attract official officials. If he is called to be a witness or something, his schedule will be delayed.
He sighed and stood up, and said to the shopkeeper: "Don't be anxious, shopkeeper. I'll go and have a look. If the person is still saved, please go to the shopkeeper immediately and call the doctor. If there is no way to save the person, the shopkeeper's reporting officer will be there."
The shopkeeper seemed to have found a backbone. He popped his head out from behind the counter and said tremblingly: "Thank you, sir."
Baili Xiyi said again: "If the girl who was with me just now comes back, please wait for a while."
"Don't worry, young master!" the shopkeeper said with all his heart.
As soon as Bailixi walked upstairs, he saw the door of the private room on the left wide open. He walked over and saw that all the furniture inside was overturned and staggered.
The woman was lying on the ground by the window, with a wound on her head and a pool of blood on the ground.
Priscilla hurriedly walked over to investigate the situation, and found that the woman was still breathing, so she helped her up. Seeing that the wound had solidified, she picked up the woman and walked downstairs.
"Shopkeeper, this woman is still breathing. Where is the nearest medical center?"
"Boy, please take the young master to the hospital quickly!" the shopkeeper ordered.
The child ran out and said, "Master, please come this way!"
Bailixi ran out and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please tell my junior sister and ask her to wait for me."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and Bailixi hurriedly sent the woman to the hospital. After all, life was at stake and time was running out.
After he left, Yan Qingzheng walked out.
After Bailixi was sent to the hospital, she was anxious to go back to find Yan Qingzheng, but the waiter said he had no money, so the doctor at the hospital held Bailixi and refused to let him leave.
Priscilla hurriedly threw down a piece of silver and said he would pay for the woman's treatment. The doctor still refused to let him go, but said, "Unless this woman has a family to come get her, she will die here, and I can't do anything about it."
Explain!"
No matter how anxious Bailixi was, she had nothing to do. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she was about to ask the waiter to send a message to Yan Qingzheng, but she found that the waiter had already disappeared without knowing it.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the clerk at the medical clinic to deliver the message.
The waiter came back after a while, and Yan Qing followed him to the hospital.
"Brother, how are you?" Yan Qing looked at the woman, who was still unconscious and had a cloth wrapped around her head.
"It shouldn't be a serious problem." Baili Xi looked at Yan Qingzheng apologetically and whispered, "It's just that the doctor won't let me go."
Yan Qing looked at the situation and said, "I think this woman won't wake up for a while. Brother, why don't you ask someone to find out the identity of this woman and inform her family. It's getting late today, so I'll go find an inn first.
Let’s settle down. If senior brother escapes, we’ll come and meet him. How about that?”
Prissy nodded: "That's all."
After Yan Qingzheng left, he found an inn, asked the waiter to go to the hospital to deliver the news, and then went back to his room to rest.
