I, there is an inn that is weird

Chapter 1 There is an inn
Cangzhou, in the city of Luoshui County.

Night had fallen early, and dark clouds secretly shrouded Luoshui City during the night. The silver frost brought by the full moon did not appear at all.

Only the doors and windows blown by the strong wind kept making "bang bang" sounds. The sound before the storm was disturbing the peaceful sleeping people in the city.

The first heavy rain of autumn has arrived, and the scorching heat has drawn its curtain.

On the streets in the south of the city, just a moment after the old man at watch left, two panicked figures appeared on the street.

"Brother, what should we do? They have discovered that we are in Luoshui City."

"I don't know if the family has received the message I sent before. If there is no timely support, I'm afraid..."

Relying on the peripheral light of the lanterns on the street, I could barely see a delicate woman, speaking to the man next to her with some fear.

From their title, you can tell that the relationship between the two is that of brother and sister. They have offended some person or force and are avoiding the other party's capture.

Although she carries a long sword in her left hand and is not an ordinary weak woman, the long sword in her hand does not bring her any safety.

"Don't worry, Yuxiu, even if it costs me my life, I won't let anyone hurt you at all."

Perhaps to reassure his sister, he continued, "Guard Chen has distracted the other party just now. Now it's dark and it's about to rain. We just need to hide and we'll be fine."

"Besides, based on how much the family attaches importance to the things we carry, they will definitely come here as fast as possible. I expect to arrive tomorrow."

Looking at the baggage carried by her eldest brother, Yan Yuxiu also calmed down. The family must get the treasure they accidentally got this time when they went out for fun.

It could be said that what was in the bag was even more important than the direct lives of their two families.

If it weren't for the fact that this item was forbidden, as a direct line of the Yan family, they would have already asked the government office of Luoshui City for help.

After calming down a little, Yan Yuxiu supported her elder brother whose left arm was injured, and the two began to walk along the street to find a suitable hiding place. Now they would be safe as long as they spent the night.

"Brother, do you see?"

When passing the street intersection, Yan Yuxiu discovered that there happened to be an inn in the alley next to it.

It is now midnight, and all the shops that are still open in Luoshui City, except for the Fireworks and Wine Alley in the west of the city, have basically closed to thank customers.

Now that they finally found a place to live, the two of them were full of joy. They could no longer go back to the inn where they lived before.

"Yuxiu waits for us to go in, give the shopkeeper some more money, and ask him to take off the lantern and close the shop. This way we can avoid being discovered as much as possible."

"Got it, brother."

Yan Yuxiu supported her eldest brother and came to the door of the inn.

"There is an inn with a really interesting name, and it seems different from ordinary inns."

Generally, inns are located next to busy streets, with their doors wide open to welcome incoming guests at any time.

This inn is not only in an alley next to the street, but it is also blocked by a two-foot-high wall, except for the lantern with the word "inn" hanging on it.

The inn in front of you has only one door. On the door hangs a plaque with four characters of "Inn". At the same time, there are two exquisite and vivid stone lions at the door.

"Stop talking so much and go knock on the door."

"Well, big brother, stand still." After hearing his big brother's words, he ordered and went up to knock on the door of the inn.

After knocking a few times, Yan Yuxiu retreated to her elder brother and continued to support him.

Without a moment's effort, the door opened with a creaking sound, and a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, black and white eyes that seemed a bit mysterious, and wearing a black brocade suit appeared in front of them.

"you……"

Looking at the dress and demeanor, the two of them knew that he was not an ordinary person like a servant.

After clasping his fists and bowing gently, he said, "I wonder if this young man is the owner of this inn? We, brother and sister, would like to stay for one night."

After hearing the purpose of the two brothers and sisters in front of him, the young man smiled strangely, looked around twice, and then spoke after seeing the baggage on his brother's body.

"The shop is newly opened. It's fate that these two customers can come. It's going to rain soon, so you'd better come in quickly."

As he spoke, he opened the door of the inn and motioned for the two of them to come in quickly.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." After Yan Yulong thanked him, he and his sister entered the inn.

After entering the inn, there is a courtyard with horse stables on both sides. In front of you is the inn lobby, surrounded by lanterns.

"Shopkeeper, I don't see anyone here, why are you hanging so many lanterns?"

After hearing his sister's words, Yan Yulong suddenly felt a little strange. It was the shopkeeper who was on duty at night. There were still lanterns hanging in the inn that had no guests, and the lights illuminated the surrounding area.

When I was thinking about the four words "brightly lit" in my mind, I suddenly stopped in place and refused to take another step forward.

"Brother, why don't you leave?"

Yan Yuxiu, who was supporting her eldest brother, suddenly felt that her eldest brother had stopped in place and his body was shaking.

"Yuxiu, I remember something was left outside the door. You and I can go out and get it."

"What?" Yuxiu, who didn't react for a moment, asked with some confusion.

"Has this guest forgotten something? How about I come and get it for you."

It was obviously a normal questioning voice, but it sounded extremely terrifying to Yan Yulong's ears, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"No, no need, let's do it ourselves." When he refused the shopkeeper's kindness, Yan Yulong pulled her out of the door regardless of her sister's reaction.

Looking at the brother and sister in front of them, one of them was in panic and fear, and wanted to take his sister to leave the inn quickly, but the sister looked confused and was dragged by her elder brother.

The young shopkeeper didn't stop him, but just looked at the two and smiled faintly, as if the other's actions were just for fun.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take action, but as the owner of the inn, he had already sensed that someone outside the door would help him prevent the two from leaving.

"boom."

When Yan Yulong was dragging his sister to open the door of the inn, the door was suddenly kicked open, and several figures were standing at the door.

I originally thought that people outside would knock on the door politely, but unexpectedly they broke in. The slight smile on the lips of the young man who was about to watch a show had subsided.

"Damn it, luckily I was careful, otherwise I would have let you two bastards run away."

The scarred-faced man wearing a mandarin jacket with his bare chest kicked open the door and saw the Yan brothers and sisters, and cursed at them.

"Boss, luckily I'm smart. After the guard escaped, I stayed here to see if there were any unexpected gains. I didn't want Liu Mouse to catch me."

Next to Scar, a sinister-looking man was taking credit for himself.

"Don't worry, I will take you to Yihongyuan to have a good time after this." After saying that, he did not continue to pay attention, but said to the Yan brothers and sisters in front of him: "What? You want me to come and pick it up in person?"

The two brothers and sisters, who had already drawn their swords, were ready to face the crisis at hand alone. Yan Yuxiu scolded in a sweet voice: "Reinforcements from our Yan family will arrive soon. If you guys don't want to die, please retreat."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Several people holding sharp weapons at the door suddenly burst into mocking laughter.

"Reinforcements? Look why only a few of us are here."

Scarface had a sneer on his face, and he made it clear in his words that someone must have gone to deal with the Yan family's reinforcements.

"But this girl is quite pretty. If I hand over your baggage and let my brothers have some fun, I might be able to let you live."

"Yes, Lehehehe."

"The boss is right, those girls in Yihongyuan are not as smart as her."

After hearing the filthy words spoken by the leader, the subordinates behind him also uttered filthy words.

"Brother." Although Yan Yuxiu has martial arts skills, as a young lady of the Yan family, she has never heard such obscene words.

"Don't worry, those people are going to stop our Yan family's reinforcements. We can still deal with the few people left behind."

"The ones taking the lead are at most Bone Forging Realm warriors. I'll try to get rid of them as quickly as possible. The remaining few are formal warriors who have just entered the Yijin Realm."

"You try to hold it off later. If it doesn't work, just lead him to the shopkeeper."

Although he already knew that there was something strange here and that the shopkeeper might not be human, he wanted to solve the crisis before talking about anything else.

At least the shopkeeper didn't show any intention of harming them from beginning to end. As for the rest, we could only leave it to fate.

When Yan Yulong whispered something to his sister, Scarface shouted directly: "Get it for me."

What he said before was just to break the opponent's will. Now he didn't want any accidents to happen, so he directly ordered his subordinates to take action.

"Ahem, everyone, no fighting is allowed in the inn."

The ignored shopkeeper saw that the two sides were about to fight, so he had no choice but to interrupt the other party, otherwise it would become nothing.

"Damn it, there are still some blind people who dare to resist."

At Scarface's signal, one of the men behind him broke through and struck at the shopkeeper.

Although they look like a group of gangsters, they actually have the strength of formal warriors and are considered to be the best in the world.

The dirty words before were just a way to attack people's minds.

When the long knife cut through the air and slashed towards the face of the shopkeeper...
