safe house

Chapter 129

The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the earth, and the sun leaned lazily on the top of the mountain after a busy day.

Luo Xi hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the city of Su County before the sun set.

Luo Li looked up at the mottled words on the city wall, couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "My lord, we're here."

Luo Xi nodded and sighed: "Yes, we are here."

Luo Li couldn't help but tilt his head, "My lord, why are you unhappy?"

Luo Xi rolled his eyes at him, but didn't speak.

With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, he swung his whip and entered the city.

"Yuelai Inn." Luo Li led two horses in his hands, pointed to the four words on the plaque, and shouted loudly, "My lord, this is the best inn in this county."

Luo Xi felt ashamed, "What are you doing so loudly? Your son is not deaf!"

"Hey!" Luo Li embarrassedly scratched his head.

Seeing Luo Xi's uneasy expression, he grinned and said flatteringly, "My lord, shall we live here?!"

Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright!"

"Xiao Er!" Luo Li shouted towards the door.

Xiao Er ran out quickly, bowed his waist, "Guest officers, do you want to play the top or stay in the hotel?"

"Stay in the shop!" Luo Li said carelessly, "Get someone to come over and take care of our horses."

Xiaoer nodded repeatedly, "Guest officer, don't worry, Xiaodian will definitely take good care of your horse."

Luo Li withdrew his hand that held out the reins of the horse, and warned fiercely: "I can tell you, this horse is not an ordinary horse."

"This is... this is... our young master's horse! You heard me clearly."

Do you really think of yourself as a character? !
Xiao Er was full of slander in his heart, but his face was full of respect, "Don't worry, son, we will definitely take good care of your horse."

After a pause, he patted his chest and assured, "If your horse is missing a hair, I'm the only one asking!"

It sounds like a real thing.

Luo Li raised his chin and stuffed the reins into his hand, "I heard it."

Xiaoer nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes, please rest assured, young master!"

Luo Li pointed to Luo Xi who was behind him and said, "This is the son!"

Xiao Er hurriedly saluted Luo Xi, "Young master has met you, so please come inside."

Luo Xi glanced at Luo Li, then raised his foot and walked forward with a sullen face.

Luo Li trotted behind him, and said to Xiaoer, "Two good guest rooms!"

Xiaoer agreed loudly: "Good! Two of the best guest rooms!"

Luo Li gave him a sideways look in disgust, "Can't you keep your voice down?!"

Xiao Er said apologetically: "I was born with a loud voice, which made the young master laugh at me."

"However, it's also good for me to have a loud voice. It's hilarious! Hehe..."

"Fool!" Luo Li scolded unceremoniously.

············
Luo Xi found a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down.

Well, from here you can just see the situation on the street.

Luo Xi asked Xiao Er who was serving tea: "Xiao Er, are there three women living in the inn?"

"No." Xiaoer thought about it seriously, shook his head and said.

"No?!" Luo Xi frowned, "Are you thinking carefully?"

Xiao Er frowned, really thought about it seriously, and said in a low voice, "No."

Luo Li raised his chin haughtily, "Did you forget?!"

Xiao Er shook his head again and again, and was about to say "no", but he saw Luo Li's expression.

Hastily said: "Yes, maybe I was wrong."

"Well, I...I...I'll go down and ask the shopkeeper."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Er ran downstairs "peddling".

"Second Young Master, you are so majestic!" A laughing voice sounded beside my ears.

Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat, not because of fear, but because of guilt.

He raised his head slowly, and saw a man in his fifties sitting at the opposite table, with a refined appearance and an extraordinary bearing.

Seeing him looking over, the man raised the corners of his lips, showing a gentle smile, "Second Young Master, long time no see."

It's only a few days, why is it so long?
Luo Xi really wanted to roll her eyes.

But for the sake of image, he held back abruptly.

He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Kui, why did you come to Su County?"

Uncle Kui's surname is Xie, and he is the dowry of Mrs. Zuo's Xie family.

Mrs. Zuo saw that he was calm in handling affairs and knew how to do things well, so she arranged him by Zuo Mingtang's side.

No one knows the exact details.But one thing is very clear, that is, Uncle Kui's status beside Zuo Mingtang is very high.

Let's put it this way, although he is not as high as Qin Muyuan, he is someone Zuo Mingtang trusts very much.

Therefore, the appearance of Uncle Kui means how much Zuo Mingtang attaches importance to this matter.

Xie Kui said with a smile: "Second Young Master, where did this come from?!"

"that········"

Just as Luo Xi was about to speak, Uncle Kui interrupted him with a smile, "Where are you going?"

Then he waved his hands again and again and said, "I didn't intend to inquire about your whereabouts, it's just..."

He frowned and thought about it, "Curiosity, yes, curiosity!"

Luo Xi felt bitter in his heart, it's not that he forgot what Zuo Mingtang told him.

It's just that I rushed there at that time.

He nodded with a smile, pretending not to hear Uncle Kui's implication.

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip and said with a smile, "I'm going to Linzhou Mansion to celebrate my grandmother's birthday!"

Oh? !

Uncle Kui snorted coldly in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

"Young master Luo is going to pay a birthday present! I don't know if the old lady has a full life?"

Don't you know? !

Luo Xi sneered in her heart, she really knows how to pretend!If these people wanted him to do something, they would definitely get him out of the way.

However, since everyone wants to pretend, let's do it together.

"It's not a whole life." Luo Xi said with a smile, "It's just taking this opportunity to get everyone together."

Uncle Kui smiled and nodded, "Oh, so that's the case?!"

"But no matter what, this gift still needs to be prepared."

Uncle Kui tilted his head and thought for a while, "I don't know what the old lady of your residence likes?"

"Hehe." Luo Xi smiled, "Uncle Kui, you're welcome."

Uncle Kui's eyes widened in surprise, "Second Young Master, is this not allowing me to enjoy the joy?!"

"Uncle Kui, this is a serious word!" Luo Xi quickly waved his hands, "Whoever is not welcome, I can't help but welcome you!"

"Uncle Kui, if you have any orders, just speak."

Xie Kui felt that it was almost done, he chuckled.

He asked bluntly: "Do you know about your coming to the state capital?"

That is to say, what progress has been made on what our son entrusted you to do?
Luo Xi knew that since they met, the blame would definitely not be able to escape.

He nodded with a smile and said: "I know, I often tell Mr. Zuo about the news here."

Uncle Kui pondered for a moment, then asked suddenly: "Do you know why Miss Luo and the others were hunted down?"

"No, that's not accurate, it should be robbery."

Luo Xi was startled, "What, Ming Chuan encountered such a thing?"

He couldn't tell why, but he just didn't think it happened in Qixing Town.

Luo Xi asked in a low voice, "When did it happen?"

Uncle Kui recalled it carefully, "About the first three days!?"

"How could this happen?!" Luo Xi muttered to himself, "She didn't tell me anything."

Uncle Kui rolled his eyes and asked knowingly, "What did Second Young Master say just now?"

"Nothing." Luo Xi shook his head subconsciously.

Fortunately, Uncle Kui is not a person who breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line. He said so, and he will not continue to ask.

After thinking about it, he mentioned another matter, "When the second son entered the city, did you feel anything strange?"

Strange?

Luo Xi frowned, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No!"

Didn't feel like there was anything special about it.

Isn't the entire Su County the same as other counties?
Uncle Kui smiled, you will know in a while.

Luo Xi didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

I saw him sticking out the window with a teacup in his hand.

He blinked at Luo Xi, the meaning was obvious, look carefully!
"Snapped!"

When the tea cup fell to the ground, the crisp sound startled the pedestrians on the road.

Some looked up curiously.

And some, when their nerves were tense, they pulled out the weapons at their waists all at once, with sharp and vigilant eyes.

Uncle Kui, the instigator, was sitting by the side, drinking tea leisurely.

Luo Xi wasn't really stupid either.

He retracted and said to Uncle Kui: "You mean... we are being watched?"

No way?
He didn't offend anyone, so he wouldn't be approached, right? !

Uncle Kui said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it."

"Think about what we can do to make these people let their guard down."

I?
At this time, you actually asked me such a question? !

Luo Xi was terrified in his heart, so he lost his mind.

"Why do we do this? Besides, these people are not targeting me...we are here."

Uncle Kui glanced at him and said nothing.

Isn't it obvious who these people are after?
You are like a headless chicken here, messing up your position, but it is a big taboo to use soldiers!
Uncle Kui pondered for a while, and asked bluntly, "Miss Luo and the three of you, where are you going now?"

Luo Xi suddenly realized that these people were after her.

He was wondering, when did Luo Mingchuan offend such a person? !
These people knew at a glance that these people were not good people.

He was thinking while holding the teacup in his hand.

"When I left the inn, Luo Mingchuan led the people around her and left first."

"I was worried about missing something, so I came here on horseback."

"The result... Alas!"

Uncle Kui raised his hand to touch the goatee on his chin, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that she has already sensed the danger."

Luo Xi asked subconsciously: "How did she know?" After the words fell, she realized what a stupid question she had asked.

Uncle Kui was also very patient, "If you were assassinated once, shouldn't you be more careful next time?"

Luo Xi: "So, what they said is all false?"

It wasn't because she was in a hurry that she left the inn in a hurry.

It doesn't seem right to say that.

He raised his hand to press his temple, and shook it irritably, why didn't she want him to ask for help?
Uncle Kui asked curiously: "Why do you care so much about whether Miss Luo is lying?!"

Uh·······

Luo Xi was like a chicken whose neck had been strangled, unable to speak anything.

"That...that...that..."

I've been doing that for a long time and nothing happened.

Uncle Kui tapped the table lightly, "This matter is actually not complicated at all."

"Miss Luo and the three of them must have sensed the danger, so they changed their way temporarily."

"Oh, I knew that this Linzhou mansion is not so easy to enter."

That's why I came here eagerly, hoping to be able to meet one or two.

Luo Xi seemed to be feeling it too, "Uncle Kui, you mean that those people don't want Luo Mingchuan to see a doctor for the magistrate?"

"Isn't it?! Even so, there are many ways. Why choose such a road that looks good but is actually full of thorns?"

Uncle Kui shook his head, "I'm also puzzled. So, I think Miss Luo must have experienced something unusual."

Luo Xi nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe it is!"

"However, we cannot sit still now."

Uncle Kui looked at him with interest, "What does Second Young Master want?"

Luo Xi pondered for a while, then said, "Take people away."

Uncle Kui: "From where? How?"

Luo Xi seemed to be stopped by the question, he turned to look at Uncle Kui, and said very seriously: "So, didn't I ask you to discuss it?"

Uncle Kui snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll tell the innkeeper that we will stay in this inn for a few more days."

Where is the misfortune of talking?

Luo Xi didn't understand Uncle Kui's logic, but Ming Chuan's life was at stake.

He didn't talk too much, he just listened to the arrangement.

Uncle Kui picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it at the bearers on the street.

Luo Xi was taken aback, "What is Uncle Kui doing?"

Uncle Kui didn't speak. When the tea cup fell to the ground, it fell to pieces.

And the person who carried the burden, as if he didn't see it, curled his lips in disdain.

It's just a trick, it's been used!

Uncle Kui smiled, "I really didn't expect that today's luck would be so good."

Saying that, he grabbed the chopsticks at hand, flicked them lightly, and the other party lay down on the ground.

"Dead... Dead?" Luo Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why did Uncle Kui kill him?!"

Uncle Kui said naturally: "Because he is not a good person."

"You..." How did you know that the few words were abruptly changed under Uncle Kui's indifferent eyes, "You are really amazing."

Uncle Kui didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the street below.

Because of the chopsticks just now, those people who were ambushing in the county didn't dare to take the lead.

·······
Ding Xishan frowned and asked: "That dead girl actually has a helper by her side?!"

Xiao Xi beside him said in a low voice, "However, she doesn't look very smart."

The method of killing is too rough, isn't that obvious?
