Tian Zhi froze and asked tremblingly: "Who are you? How do you know you are our young lady?"
The man laughed and said, "Is there anyone in the entire inn who doesn't know what your Excellency said?"
"Now that you know it, how dare you come and rob it?" Tian Zhi rolled his eyes desperately, trying to get a look at the thief. However, the other party was very experienced, and he couldn't see anything except a featureless piece of clothing.
"My lady is a distinguished guest of King Dongjiang. This place is not far from Nanyuan. You dare to rob my lady. Don't you want to live?"
The other party heard his fierce expression and smiled and said: "My lord, you also said that this place is not far from Nanyuan, and it belongs to the boundary of Dongjiang. It happens to be beyond reach from both sides. Isn't it a good time to take action? Don't waste time, move.
Come on, we want to go back for a late-night snack!"
Seeing that the tip of the knife on his waist was stabbed forward a little further, Tian Zhi was shocked and quickly begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life! As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything you want!"
Wow, why did these people stabbed one place specifically, his waist!
Behind him, the two thieves looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, Master Tian was originally a subordinate of Wu Zijing. Since he rebelled against Wu Zijing in the past, what if he rebelled against the Xu family now? Such people have no loyalty.
It can be said.
…
"Slow down, slow down! Don't spill it." A voice came from the kitchen, and then Tian Zhi walked out with a waiter.
The guard heard the noise and walked over: "Who?"
"It's me!" Tian Zhi pointed to the waiter behind him with a smile on his face, "I was hungry in the middle of the night, so I asked the waiter to cook a midnight snack. Do you want some too?"
Without waiting for the guard to refuse, he ordered the waiter: "Go and bring the remaining lotus seed soup."
The waiter agreed, but did not obey. Instead, he shouted into the kitchen: "Aping, do you hear that? Bring it out quickly."
After saying that, he gave Tian Zhi a warning look.
Stop playing tricks and send him away. Do you want to complain to the guards?
Tian Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth and did not dare to look at him. He lowered his head and said nothing.
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said: "Master Tian, you can eat it yourself. We are on night watch and cannot delay things."
The waiter stared at him again, and Tian Zhi could only advise loudly: "Take turns to eat, it won't delay things." Then he added, "This is red bean and lotus seed soup, which contains poria, barley, and tangerine peel... It is rainy in the Dongjiang River.
The air is humid and stuffy, very uncomfortable. Eat to remove the moisture."
After saying that, another waiter came out with a large bucket of lotus seed soup and said with a smile: "Master, we prepare some lotus seed soup in the kitchen every day, just to remove moisture for the guests. Anyone who wants to come and eat can get a bowl for themselves.
"
Tian Zhi had already sat down, picked up the bowl of lotus seed soup, scooped out a bite and ate it. He nodded while eating: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" It was so delicious that he cried.
At this moment, a guest room upstairs suddenly opened, and someone poked his head out and asked, "Is there any more lotus seed soup?"
The waiter smiled and replied: "Yes, yes!"
The man came downstairs with a happy face and said, "Quick, get me a bowl. In this weather, a bowl of lotus seed soup is the most comfortable."
"My guest is an expert!" The waiter smiled and poured the soup for him.
Then he laughed loudly: "Who doesn't know who has been here several times?"
Then he snorted and drank.
They were all young and strong guys, and there was no one who wasn't hungry after watching them for half the night. Seeing that they were eating well, they heard a "Gulu" sound, and one of the guards blushed while holding his belly.
Several people looked over, and the guest laughed and said, "Are you hungry? Come and eat quickly!"
"Eat!" Tian Zhi finished the drink quickly and said, "You take turns to eat, and I will ask them to carry the rest to other brothers. Don't worry, it won't delay things."
With that said, the two waiters, one picked up the porridge bucket and the other took out a stack of bowls, followed Tian Zhi out.
The guards looked at each other and one of them said: "You eat first, I'll watch."
"good."
…
After a lot of effort, most of the Xu family guards ate the lotus seed soup.
While eating, a young guard suddenly said: "Why do you feel so sleepy?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone stopped.
The guard opened his mouth and yawned, and said vaguely: "I'm really sleepy..."
Then he tilted his head and fell asleep.
When Wei Jun saw it, he immediately pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, turned his head and shouted: "Tian Zhi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Zhi's feet went weak and he fell to the ground, snoring loudly.
Then others also yawned, and someone shouted alertly: "No! There's something wrong with this soup!"
The guards threw away the bowls in their hands, but it was too late. Many of them couldn't hold their swords steady and just lay down.
Wei Jun was the most sober and immediately rushed towards the waiter next to him.
The thief disguised as a waiter burst out laughing, dodged, took something out of his arms, and threw it into the sky.
"Bang!" A firework exploded.
Soon, the sound of horseshoes vibrating was heard in the ears, and the thieves who had been ambush nearby rushed over.
"No! There are robbers!" Someone shouted, startling the guests.
The fire light came on, illuminating the inn. It was full of people running for their lives, making it noisy and chaotic.
…
On the hillside not far away, Xu Yin looked at the inn with a telescope.
"Is everything ready?" she asked.
The guard beside him whistled, and a figure quickly approached and said, "Miss Third, there is still a small group."
Xu Yin didn't say anything anymore. He saw the inn burst into flames and people were shouting and killing.
Until Chai Qi came to report: "Okay, the thieves are here."
"Okay, do it."
With an order, the crossbows that had been set up long ago were aimed at the inn, the black arrows shining with cold light.
The inn was in a mess. The leader of the bandits was riding a horse, looking at them majestically, and shouted loudly: "I heard that the Xu family's twins are here?"
The guests huddled in the corner, each one shaking like chaff, trembling and afraid to answer the question.
The bandit leader pointed his knife: "Say it!"
The man's face was earth-colored, and he was trembling: "Yes, yes..."
The bandit leader nodded and showed a lewd smile: "They say that the Xu family's twins are stunningly beautiful. Why don't you come out and show me!"
A Xu family guard's eyes were about to burst, and he rushed forward: "How dare you! You little thieves, how dare you be rude to my young lady!"
