Chapter 410 She guessed it right
  Compared to Shen Zhuoxi's worries, Shen Xinyu was more happy.
  Huh, now Shen Zhuoxi can't leave even if he wants to!
  She hid the joy in her eyes and pretended to be helpless and said: "With such heavy rain, we can't walk even if we want to. The horses can't even see the road clearly. It would be even more difficult if we encounter a flash flood or something."
  "Since you've come, let's make peace with it. It happens to be at the door of the inn. It's destined by God. Why don't we stay and rest for the night."
  Shen Zhuoxi swept over coldly, and Shen Xinyu quickly fell silent, but her expression was vaguely happy.
  "Princess." Hui Zhi whispered: "The rain is too heavy and it is really difficult to walk. Why don't we go to the inn to take shelter from the rain first and wait until the rain subsides a little?"
  Shen Zhuoxi frowned, turned his head and asked Liancheng, "Are you sure you can travel in this kind of weather?"
  Liancheng's face also looked strange, and he stared at Heavy Rain and said, "It's not easy to walk. Mainly when you leave the city, it's all steep uphill. The wheels of the carriage will definitely slip in the muddy places."
  "This is still the lightest. More importantly, such heavy rain is very likely to cause flash floods and other emergencies..."
  Liancheng was experienced. He said it euphemistically, but he was actually reminding Shen Zhuoxi of the situation he might encounter.
  "So, staying is the best way." Shen Zhuoxi said in a deep voice, "Then let's settle down first."
  "That's great." Shen Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She held up her skirt and walked into the inn. As she walked, she ordered: "The skirt has been soaked by the heavy rain."
  "I'm just going to take down the salute and ask the inn to prepare hot water. I want to take a shower and change clothes, and prepare some delicious food. I'll feel comfortable after a good sleep."
  Luluo followed behind and advised: "Madam, the situation is unknown. If the princess is not safe and we have to continue the journey, it is better not to take a bath first. Isn't this how you came here with me in the past?"
  "That's different." Shen Xinyu said, looking back at Shen Zhuoxi, and snorted: "Now that I'm with a princess like her, I have to be more noble."
  "You can't make me look like a village girl who wants to come down. This would also be an embarrassment to your young master, wouldn't it?"
  Lu Luo frowned, but Shen Xinyu was the master after all, and no matter how impatient she was, she had to obey her orders.
  Hui Zhi watched Lu Luo struggling to carry large and small baggage through the door, and couldn't help but whisper to Shen Zhuoxi: "You are putting on a show, the lady doesn't think you are here to relax, right?"
  "Ignore her. If she insists on staying here, let's leave first later. Don't interrupt our plan because of her." Shen Zhuoxi said coldly.
  Huizhi paused and asked again: "What do you mean, the things are placed on the carriage and ready to go at any time?"
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi's heart was always unsettled and he was pounding: "Let's wait until the rain subsides a little and leave. Facing the gangsters will not be good for us."
  As soon as Shen Zhuoxi finished speaking, the innkeeper came forward and asked, "Do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?"
  "Eat." Shen Zhuoxi winked at Huizhi. Huizhi took out a few coins and handed them over, saying, "Just prepare some ordinary meals."
  "How many of you are not staying in the hotel?" The shopkeeper took the money and looked out the door: "It hasn't rained here for nearly a month. Will the rain stop soon? You and I are young ladies."
  "I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave this town..."
  Huizhi interrupted him and said, "Eat first, and then talk after we finish eating."
  The shopkeeper then took the money and ordered the boy to go to the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "It's easy to get into trouble in this weather. I meant well, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful."
  Shen Zhuoxi looked around the store and said, "How many people live in your store?"
  "Not many." The shopkeeper pointed to the room on the second floor and said, "The three caravans total about twenty people. You are the fourth team, and there are only a few rooms left in the store."
  Shen Zhuoxi calmed down and said, "I want a room on the side, is there any more?"
  "Yes, the remaining ones are just close to the side facing the street, or the rooms at the end." The shopkeeper said suspiciously: "But didn't the lady just say that you don't need to stay in a hotel?"
  "Keep it for now." Shen Zhuoxi said half-truthfully: "What if, like the shopkeeper said, it will rain for a long time and there will always be a way out. If someone else comes during this period, won't we not have a place to live?" ?”
  "Okay, I'll order someone to clean it up." The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to clean up the room.
  Shen Zhuoxi did not choose to wait in the lobby, but took Huizhi and others directly to the second floor.
  After closing the door, Hui Zhi took a deep breath and said, "There is something wrong with this store."
  "You also discovered it." Liancheng touched the marks on the wooden door and said, "There are many people coming and going here, but the tables and chairs in the hall are all new. This is unreasonable."
  "In other words, the previous tables and chairs can no longer be used?" Shen Zhuoxi took over and said.
  Liancheng nodded: "Fights should often happen here, even in the house we live in. The tables and chairs can be changed, but it is very troublesome to change the doors and windows of the room."
  "Look at the marks in this house that must have been made by a knife. Princess, even if you stay overnight tonight, it's best not to rest."
  Shen Zhuoxi hummed and said in a deep voice: "You should also pay attention."
  Not long after several people finished eating, as expected by Shen Zhuoxi, several more groups of businessmen arrived, and they all arrived at the same time.
  There were only a few rooms left in the store, and there weren't enough rooms at all. Several groups of people didn't want to leave the room despite being caught in the rain, and they fought in the lobby over a few rooms.
  "Princess, there's a lot of chaos down there." Hui Zhi quietly went out to take a look, and said in a low voice: "To calm the trouble, the shopkeeper is asking other guests to give up the room."
  "I'm afraid they will find us soon."
  "We only have three rooms in total, how can we give them up?" Shen Zhuoxi said displeased: "Can we find out who are the people down there?"
  Huizhi shook his head: "This slave only took a brief look. One of the people in the group looked not to be trifled with. They were either bodyguards or some martial arts people. The rest looked like ordinary businessmen."
  Shen Zhuoxi said in a deep voice: "Liancheng, take advantage of the chaos here and go out and take a look to see what they have brought."
  Liancheng knew what she was thinking and flew out of the window.
  The hall was noisy, and the more noisy it was, the more uneasy Shen Zhuoxi became, always feeling that something was being ignored by her.
  "Princess, it should be fine." Seeing that she was worried, Hui Zhi comforted her and said, "We will set off soon."
  "No, something is wrong." Shen Zhuoxi said softly: "Don't you think this dispute is too strange?"
  "What does the princess mean..." Hui Zhi said suspiciously.
  Before Shen Zhuoxi had time to speak, Liancheng had already returned along the way from the window, with a solemn expression on his face, and shook his head at Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi's heart sank suddenly: "No salutes and goods?"
  Liancheng glanced at the closed door, and his voice was still very soft: "Three teams of people came, but only one group of people had goods, which was rice."
  "The other two pairs were riding horses, and judging from the horses' feet, they should have been hiking on mountain roads."
  Shen Zhuoxi guessed correctly, but she wasn't even half happy!
  Because there are gangsters among these three teams!
