When I returned to Shuoxi the next day, I paid some more silver, and the soldiers guarding the city let a few people into the city.?? ?
After entering Shuoxi, Changning looked around with great interest. He looked carefully at all the people and things he saw, and whispered a few words to Chu Ying'er from time to time. Wherever he passed, everyone lingered, but Changning was dignified.
Peaceful, many others feel close to you, but no one comes forward to disturb you.
Li Luo's heart tightened, and several people hurriedly walked to the inn. Changning didn't know where to go, so he followed Chu Ying'er to the inn where Li Luo stayed. It felt better after entering the inn.
Huchajing took a long breath and said, "The feeling of being criticized is not very pleasant."
Chang Ning replied apologetically: "Master Jing has been affected. Chang Ning did not expect that people in the world have multiple looks."
Huchajing laughed loudly and said repeatedly that it was okay, and then continued: "Miss Changning, don't think of everyone in the world. It sounds like she is a monk."
Chang Ning smiled softly and said: "I have served in the Ancestral Temple since I was a child, and I will also die in the Ancestral Temple in the future. It is not bad to be a monk."
Huchajing laughed and asked the waiter to bring some tea to quench his thirst.
The waiter looked at Li Luo and his friends with a suspicious look on his face, and kept looking at Chang Ning most of the time. Apparently he didn't expect that when Li Luo and his friends were out for a few days, there would be a beautiful lady with them.
Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong looked at each other. Neither of them expected that a sudden impulse would cause them so much trouble.
After casually eating some food, Li Luo took Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi out to ask if there was any room available, but did not see the regretful expressions on their faces. Chang Ning stood up and declined, but as soon as Li Luo finished speaking, the two of them
Although he was reluctant at all costs, he still bowed respectfully and left the lobby.
Within a few moments, a lot of people had gathered in the store, and businessmen who had met several of them came over to chat for a few reasons. Chang Ning looked apologetic, but Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong were not impatient and answered them one by one.
However, Chu Ying'er and Huchajing did not have such good tempers, and remained silent with cold faces.
After a while, Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi rushed back. Ni Qing replied: "Sir, my subordinates and Zhu Zhi have asked around the streets here, and there is not even a single vacant room."
"There are so many people?" Shen Xiangdong asked with a frown.
"Yes, I didn't expect it," Ni Qing said respectfully, with a hint of joy in his voice.
Shen Xiangdong shook his head slightly and asked, "Does the girl have any relatives and friends in Shuoxi?"
Chang Ning replied with a smile: "Thank you for your kind help. Chang Ning won't bother you anymore, I have my own place to go." After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
He thanked Chu Ying'er again and was about to leave when Huchajing suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid there are many people in this inn who are willing to take Chang Ning in."
Sure enough, as soon as Huchajing finished speaking, someone came forward and offered to free up a guest room.
Changning politely declined, picked up his luggage, nodded to a few people, turned around and walked out of the store. After walking a few steps, he heard Shen Xiangdong say in a loud voice: "Miss, stay here."
Chang Ning didn't want to stay for a long time, but on the way from Zushan to Shuoxi, he was lucky enough to receive help from a few people, so he couldn't help but ignore it, so he turned around and said softly: "Mr. Wu, is there anything else you can do?"
Li Luo lowered his head and said nothing. Although this woman named Chang Ning had almost no experience in the world, she was a highly intelligent person. She spoke well and could often understand what others were talking about. She was extremely smart.
Li Luo and others did not want to attract attention. They might have become suspicious in Chang Ning's eyes. In addition, several of them had been in the army for a long time, and their behavior was quite different from that of the aristocratic merchant family.
Although Chang Ning didn't say anything along the way, and he didn't seem to have any strange emotions at all, he was just afraid that he might guess some meaning, so he didn't want to bother a few more people and insisted on leaving.
The words he called Cha Jing just now seemed to be unintentional, but it was not so in the ears of Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong.
At first, the two of them just wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of others, but if Chang Ning was allowed to leave, it would be even more suspicious if it fell into the ears of interested people.
Shen Xiangdong called Chang Ning and said: "There are many businessmen and travelers in the city, and the inn is probably almost full. Besides, it may be inconvenient for the girl to go out alone. I might as well live with Miss Chu, and I can still take care of her to some extent."
"Changning has been troubled for a long time, why should I stay here anymore? Thank you sir for your kindness, Changning understands it."
Shen Xiangdong waved his hand and said: "Girl, please don't take these little things to heart. Meeting by chance can be considered a fate. We will leave Shuoxi in a few days. There is no need to disturb you. Girl, you might as well stay here first and then make plans."
"This?" Chang Ning hesitated for a moment, not knowing where he was going. Chu Ying'er stood up and walked over, saying calmly: "You live with me." After saying that, he pulled Chang Ning over, gave a slight salute to Li Luo, and returned. Returned to the room.
The business travelers in the lobby were all a bit dull, they chatted for a few words and then dispersed.
Shen Xiangdong asked: "Changqing, is there anything wrong?"
Li Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "My uncle's arrangements are very appropriate. Let's take a short rest and leave Shuoxi earlier, otherwise things may change later."
Shen Xiangdong nodded, gave some instructions to Huchajing and the others, and then said: "This woman is not simple. According to Miss Chu's temperament, it is rare to be like this. She seems to be born with it, and there is no artificiality at all. , can make people feel close to each other.”
Li Luo looked at Huchajing, Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi. The three of them looked embarrassed and said harmoniously: "Miss Changning's status in Zushan is probably not low, whether it is the internal skills she has practiced or the courage to With a name called Changning, if there is no place in the Ancestral Temple, it would be an anomaly. I heard that the Ancestral Temple often selects some children with extraordinary talents to go up the mountain, so it is not surprising that people can unintentionally become close to them. "
Huchajing nodded in agreement, and then several people chatted about what they had seen in Shuoxi, while Li Luo listened quietly.
Suddenly he said: "Tomorrow we will go to see the human trafficking market." A few people were stunned, and then remembered what they heard on the way that day. Most of the slaves in Shuoxi were Dagan people, and most of the slave traders were Dagan people. business travel.
Huchajing's eyes showed murderous intent. When he looked at Li Luo again, Li Luo had already turned away and was looking out the window.
Just after noon the next day, Zhu Zhi went out to inquire about something and learned that there was a slave trade today.
This was not a secretive business in Shuoxi, so it didn't take much effort to find out.
Back at the inn, Zhu Zhi informed Li Luo and others. They tidied up a little and were about to leave. Chang Ning came out of the guest room and saw a few people about to go out. He asked Huchajing: "Master Wu, are you going out?" "
Hucha Jing hummed, and seeing Chang Ning's expression of wanting to go with him, he glanced at Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong in embarrassment. Upon seeing this, Chang Ning smiled and said, "I'll wait for you at the inn."
Li Luo said bluntly: "Let's go see Shuoxi's market where people are bought and sold."
Changning was stunned and asked in surprise: "What? Can people be bought and sold in Shuoxi?"
"Yes," Huchajing continued, "people have been traded in Shuoxi for many years. It is not a rare thing." (To be continued.)
