After drinking one glass after another, Xu Ze also became drunk. Xia Zhi came over and said: "Master, the eldest lady said that it is already getting late, so we should let the guests rest early!"
Xu Ze looked outside in a daze, and sure enough, the night was dark and there was no sound of anyone.
He apologized to Li Wen with a silly smile on his face: "Prince Li, I'm sorry for delaying your rest."
Seeing that he could no longer stand still, Li Wen hurriedly gave him a hand and said, "Don't worry, I had a great time chatting with Brother Xu tonight, and I learned a lot."
Xu Ze chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Prince Li, you are also a good person. It would be great if you really became my brother-in-law."
Li Wen didn't know if he was talking drunkenly, but he smiled and replied: "I hope I have this honor."
After the banquet was over, the two of them went upstairs to rest.
This inn was originally used by traveling merchants, and the conditions were really poor. Li Wen was already prepared to endure it.
Unexpectedly, when I entered the door, I found that it was completely new inside. The bedding was brand new, the table was covered with silk, a noodle stand, a dressing table and other items were added, and even incense was added.
He reached out and touched it and asked, "Who changed it?"
The captain of the guard, who also served as a temporary servant, made a face and reluctantly replied: "Who else can there be besides Miss Xu?"
Li Wen smiled, took the handkerchief and washed his face.
The captain of the guard saw that his expression was wrong and said bad things quickly: "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by them. When my subordinates asked about this, they thought it was weird. Logically speaking, they were unfamiliar with the place, and suddenly they were attacked by bandits at night.
, how could there be some losses? But not at all. After killing so many gangsters, our side only suffered negligible casualties, as if we knew it in advance."
Li Wen rinsed his mouth and said vaguely: "Master Xu just said that their spies found traces of the bandits, so they made preparations in advance."
The captain of the guard sneered: "Everyone is dead, what's going on? It's not them who has the final say? Prince, we should be more careful, what if this is a show deliberately staged by the Xu family?"
Li Wen gave him a funny look: "Acting? What's the benefit of them pretending to be robbed and killed?"
"Of course there are benefits!" said the captain of the guard. "If this hadn't happened, why would you have come to pick her up in person? Your Majesty, if you hadn't come, there would have been no chance for Miss Xu to show off."
Li Wen heard it: "What do you mean? The Xu family deliberately did so many things? Just to marry Miss Xu to me?"
Seeing that his master had realized what he was thinking, the captain of the guard nodded happily: "Yes! Look at what they did? Do you show off your power as soon as someone arrives? Originally, you came to pick me up because you were showing off your dignity, but now you are being provoked by them? You are now being provoked by them.
He picked up a husband, and it looked like we would suffer a lot if we didn't get married."
"..." Li Wen said, "It's very late? You go to bed."
He excused himself like this, and the captain of the guard became anxious: "Your Majesty, please don't fall into the trap."
Li Wen sighed and said, "Even if what you said is right, how could they invite Young Master Yan? I know you are angry at being teased by them today? But don't take it out on yourself."
Say that? He waved his hand: "Okay, let's go and rest. We have to prepare for the return trip tomorrow."
"Your Majesty!"
Li Wen no longer listened to him: "Close the door."
Seeing that he did not listen to the advice, the captain of the guard could only resign angrily.
It's all the fault of the Xu family, they are so cunning? They all deceived the prince.
After washing up, Li Wen went to bed. The quilt was soft. There was still a faint scent of pine in the air. After two days of traveling, he quickly fell asleep. The scene of today's siege appeared again in his dream. He was pointed by swords and arrows.
Looking up? The girl upstairs smiled and glanced...
Was there a gentle knock on the window? Li Wen woke up with a start.
After he calmed down, he sat up and wondered if it was a dream, when the window was knocked again.
The sound was very skillful, very soft every time, and did not alert his guards.
Li Wen hesitated and finally opened the window.
Once I opened it, I realized why the guard didn't notice it.
The guest rooms in this inn were in the shape of a zigzag. In the room directly opposite his window, someone opened a small window and threw peanut shells in this direction.
Seeing him opening the window, she stopped, smiled at her, pointed to somewhere downstairs, and mouthed: "Go down."
Li Wen frowned and did not respond.
Isn't it not good to meet secretly in the middle of the night while avoiding people?
However, the other party did not give him a chance to refuse. After saying this, he closed the window and seemed to be ready to go out.
Li Wen was stunned for a while, all kinds of secrets about the back house flashed through his mind. What about his sister playing tricks and stealing her sister's fiancé?
When he came to his senses and saw the shadow passing downstairs, he finally closed the window, put on his coat and went out quietly.
Opposite, Xu Yin just touched the door when a voice came to his ear: "A Yin, where are you going?"
Xu Yin turned around and looked at Xu Si who sat up.
"I..." She rolled her eyes and replied, "Go down and take a walk."
Xu Si opened the curtain and got out of bed, exposing her unceremoniously: "Did you just call Prince Li? Don't think I don't know."
Now that he was discovered, Xu Yin could only admit it and smiled dryly at his sister: "I... I want to tell him something."
Unexpectedly, Xu Si did not stop her, but said: "Then I will go with you."
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment: "Sister..."
Xu Si put on his shoes, rolled up his hair, put on his robe, and said, "I told you not to go, but you won't listen. There has been such a big fuss today, so why don't I let you go to see Li Shizi alone?
I’m not worried.”
Being caught, Xu Yin could only respond: "Okay, sister, you have to follow me closely and don't get lost."
Xu Si agreed, and the two sisters quietly walked out of the room and walked down the stairs.
The night guard saw it, Xu Yin made a gesture and stepped back.
The two sisters turned to the corner, and Xu Si found Yan Ling already waiting there, and was speechless for a moment.
What do these two people want to do? If she doesn't pay attention, she will cause trouble, right?
When Yan Ling saw them coming together, she looked surprised, gestured to Xu Yin, and asked her what was going on.
Xu Yin made a helpless gesture. He understood and sighed silently.
Not long after, Li Wen came over. Seeing the three people waiting here, he was silent for a while, trying to get rid of the drama in his mind of sisters fighting for husbands.
Yan Ling saw him and waved enthusiastically.
The Xu sisters smiled at him and greeted him.
So, before Li Wen could figure out what was going on, he followed them out of the inn.
There was no one else around and he was finally able to speak. Li Wen asked: "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"
Yan Ling led him up the hillside with a smile: "You will know later."
Li Wen stood on the hillside and found that the inn was completely exposed to the field of vision. He was extremely puzzled. It looked like he was monitoring the inn. Could something happen there?
