The Queen of Charm

Chapter 168
Under the dark night, two figures shuttled through many woods.

"Drive, drive..."

Two black shadows galloped away, leaving a lot of dust behind.The corners of the robe fluttered and became one with the night, and the cold wind at night blew on the cheeks, causing deep pain, like a knife cutting.Pulling the reins for a long time, my fingers were numb from the cold, and even opening my mouth was pouring cold wind.

The road was bumpy, and Tao Sha, who was chasing Ling Zihan's back, was a bit overwhelmed, but seeing the tall and straight jade-like back in front of her, she could only grit her teeth and keep going forward with the cloak covered.

Lingtong Mountain is located in the extreme north, a hundred miles away from the imperial city, and it will take at least one day and one night to go fast.Tired of traveling, he finally arrived at Lingtong Mountain, and the sky was getting dark. Ling Zihan decided to sleep in the wild inn tonight.

Tao Sha asked suspiciously, "Master, are you not on your way tonight?"

Ling Zihan glanced at her, and said with a faint smile, "It's not suitable for traveling tonight. Let's rest here for one night, and we can go to Moyue Palace early tomorrow morning." Looking at the gradually darkening night, he was full of worries.

She doesn't want to hurry back to Moyue Palace, but there is no guarantee that there will be an ambush at night, so she must be extremely careful.

In the cold weather, there are only a few people in the remote small inn. They hold knives in their hands, wear bamboo hats, look fierce in their eyes, drink large mouthfuls of water and wine, and eat beef.

Otherwise the whole hall was silent.

Choosing a seat by the window, Ling Zihan and Tao Sha sat down, Xiaoer approached courteously, "You two guests, what do you want to eat?"

The charcoal fire in the center was crackling, and the four men in cloaks put down their wine glasses, glanced at the door from time to time, and then drank water and wine again. They were wearing jackets, with a quack aura on their bodies, and their gestures showed murderous intent.

Sitting by the side of the cloak was a scholar, out of place, shaking his head with a book in his hand, with a handsome face, as if he was in a sea of ​​books, without any sense of murderous intent radiating from his surroundings.

There is green tea in front of his table, plus two stacks of side dishes and a stack of peanuts, so uncomfortable.

Looking at the entire situation of the inn, Ling Zihan lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "A stack of beef slices, two vegetarian dishes, and a pot of daughter's red." He deliberately lowered his voice a lot, hoarse and deep, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. female.

The people Xiao Er received were all Jianghu people, but seeing the young man in front of him wearing a cloak and buried in the darkness, he could vaguely feel that she had no intention of exuding a noble aura, but it was incompatible with the rough and wild Jianghu people.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Dele, table three has two vegetarian dishes, a stack of beef slices, and Tannurhong." Xiao Er repeated what she had just said.

The scholar sitting opposite glanced at them, greeted them enthusiastically, and continued to delve into the philosophy in the book.

After a while, the dishes were served.

Ling Zihan poured Tao Sha a glass of wine, and poured another glass for herself.

Ling Zihan, who was always used to drinking from a glass and silver cup, also drank the wine from the thick bowl unambiguously. The whole movement was done freely and freely by her, and it was not at all obvious that she was a pampered prince.

"This kind of day with meat and wine made me breathe heavily." Ling Zihan shook the thick bowl, avoiding the opening on the side of the bowl, and drank it in one gulp.

Tao Sha didn't speak, just chewed and ate the food quietly and slowly.

The lights outside the inn were suddenly brightly lit, and the footsteps were hurried, getting closer.A group of people came in hurriedly, the cold wind poured in, and the central charcoal fire was extinguished a lot, emitting green smoke, which was a bit pungent.

With some snowflakes on their bodies, they patted the white snow on their bodies and muttered, "This weather is really cold."

When the pedestrians arrived, the four cloaked men pressed down the swords on the table calmly, held them back and let out a murderous look from within.

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat!"

There are at least [-] people in this group, all of them have extraordinary skills and do things cleanly.

The leader took off his cloak, revealing a charming and pretty face, with bright eyes and white teeth, a natural appearance, with a sword in his waist, the girl was about sixteen colors, and the people around her were very respectful to her, and whispered a few words in her ear, the girl Nodding his head, he glanced around.

Sitting in the most central position surrounded by people behind him.

Xiaoer came over, "Guest officer, I don't know what you want to eat? Our store has recently added mutton, which is so tender!"

"Then bring five catties of roast mutton." Sitting next to the girl was a tall and thick man with piercing eyes, and he stared at him as if he was going to kill someone.

Xiao Er was terrified by that fierce look, and hurried over to prepare.

A group of people sat at the table, occupying five tables, especially surrounding the young girl in the center, protecting them thoroughly.

The scholar was still reading the book, the candle by the table was flickering, and the candlelight was flickering, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.

After the four cloaked men arrived, led by the girl, they began to quiet down. It was eerie and scary, and occasionally they heard stomping, breathing, and the crackling of charcoal fire.

The most leisurely one is at Ling Zihan's table, drinking Nurhong, enjoying himself.

The table next to it was quiet, presumably because he was very wary of the surroundings and refused to say a word.

After eating and drinking, Ling Zihan squinted at Taosha who had finished eating early, and joked, "Why do you eat so little now? Didn't you have to eat several bowls before? It cost me a lot of money .”

Tao Sha pouted, touched her swollen belly, and made up an excuse, "I'm full, I've eaten too much lately."

There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help wiping the sweat.

Ling Zihan was not embarrassing Taosha, but asked Xiao Er to take them upstairs to rest. Unfortunately, after passing by this pedestrian, the inn rooms were also full.

There is only one Shanghao Tianzi room left in the room.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, there's only one room left now, why don't you two just sleep for one night, and I can charge you less money." Xiao Er came over and said apologetically.

He looked very afraid of the group who just came in, and with the addition of four cloaked men and scholars, there really weren't that many rooms.

On the contrary, Tao Sha was very happy, but she was afraid of revealing something, her eyes were flickering and erratic.

"If that's the case, then give me a Tianzi room, and give me more bed cotton." Ling Zihan's retreat made Xiaoer very happy, and she was very grateful to her.

He brought the two of them to the Tianzi room, brought two beds of cotton wool, and said to the two, "Guest officer, if you have any orders, just ask the younger ones."

When entering the door of the Tianzi room, Ling Zihan took a special look at the scholar who was studying. When she looked over, she happened to meet the scholar's gaze, and the other party smiled at her as a nod of greeting.

Ling Zihan had a complex expression, nodded with the scholar, and then closed the door.

Intuition that scholar is not simple.

The murderous aura in the hall was strong, but he acted like nothing happened, either he had no martial arts at all, or his martial arts were advanced.

"You sleep with me in the same bed tonight." Ling Zihan pulled Tao Sha, telling her to stop messing around.

Tao Sha was hugging the cotton wool, ready to accept the bad news that she was sleeping on the floor. Hearing what Ling Zihan said, she wept with joy, and when she threw the quilt away, tears flooded her eyes, "Master, are you telling the truth?"
