The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 253 Extra Story: The Excessive Bamboo 8
After waiting for news from the palace for two days, Zhumo finally decided to venture into the palace to find Wen Qian, so at night, when Xiao Tuanzi fell asleep, he quietly left Xiao Wangfu and headed towards the palace.

Xiaotuanzi fell asleep and didn't know that he had gone out. It wasn't until the next day when she woke up that she realized that Zhumo was gone, so she went out of the room to look for it, but she met the steward in the yard.

"Mi'er, why did you come out? Are you hungry? I'll get someone to find you something to eat!"

Hearing the steward's question, Xiaotuanzi took a while to understand what he was asking, then shook his head and said, "I'm looking for the master."

After these two days of Zhumo's teaching, she can now communicate with people basically, but when others talk to her, her comprehension ability is a little slower, but there are no other problems.

When Zhumo went out last night, he specifically told the steward to take care of Xiaotuanzi, so he naturally had to take it seriously.

At this time, when she heard that she was looking for a master, he went over and squatted in front of her and said, "Your master has gone out to do some errands, and he will be back later. You are obedient, can you go to dinner with uncle first? After dinner, your master I'm back."

"No, I... want to find the master!" Xiaotuanzi immediately became unhappy, and he tried his best to break free from the manager's hand and ran out of the yard, but he ran into a human wall not far away.

"Teacher, where are you going?"

Before she raised her head to see who it was, a familiar voice came into her ears, and then she raised her head to see, it was indeed her master who came back, so she stopped making trouble and wanted to go out. Fell directly into his arms.

Zhumo was also funny and helpless at the moment, when he came over, he heard them talking just now, but when he came over, he was bumped into his arms by this child, seeing that he was still unwilling to let go, he was really clingy.

"Master, don't go"

The milky voice came out of her mouth, and Zhu Mo's rare eyes softened when he heard it, he touched her head and said: "Silly boy, you are still here, where can the master go? Alright , Master won’t leave, so don’t cling to me.”

Hearing that he couldn't leave, Xiaotuanzi obediently let go of him, but at this moment the steward came over and asked, "Mr. Mo, are you back? Did you enter the palace smoothly last night? Have you ever seen the princess?"

"I see, she encountered a small problem, but it has been resolved now, but." At this point, he hesitated for a moment with dark eyes, and finally said: "Your prince may be in a little trouble, so I am going to leave immediately. A trip to Beiliao."

Hearing that his lord was in trouble, the butler's expression changed immediately, and then he quickly asked what happened, but Zhu Mo didn't explain so much, he just asked him to prepare a fast horse, and he wanted to set off immediately.

Regarding this, the steward did not dare to hesitate, and immediately sent people to prepare the horses.

While they were preparing for the fast horse, Zhumo knelt down again and said to Xiaotuanzi: "Xiaotuanzi, master is going to do something far away, so you can stay here obediently and wait for master to come back, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaotuanzi immediately shook his head, then hugged him and said, "No!"

"But the place I'm going to is too far away, and I don't know what will happen when I go there, it's very dangerous!"

"No, Tuanzi, I have to follow the master!" She hugged his neck tightly with her small arms, and kept shaking her head, but she refused to stay by herself.

In the end, Zhu Mo really had nothing to do with her. If she was really forced to stay, he didn't know what would happen. If her true identity was discovered accidentally, things would be even more difficult.

At this point, he sighed heavily, patted him on the back and said: "I really can't do anything about you, since you want to follow, then follow! But the master must tell you first, you are not allowed to complain on the way, you know Know?"

I don't know if she understood, but at this moment she just nodded vigorously, Zhu Mo felt helpless, and finally took her out of Prince Xiao's mansion after the steward arranged the horses.

The two rode on the same horse, and soon left the capital, heading towards Beiliao at high speed.

But only two hours later, they had already left the capital for nearly a hundred miles. At noon, they came to a tea house in a small village to rest, replenish some dry food, and then continued on their way. This rush went from daytime to Sunset West Mountain.

As night fell, the two of them were still in the wilderness. Zhumo looked up at the moonlight at this time, knowing that it was already late, so he slowed down the horse, and lowered his head to ask Xiaotuanzi in his arms.

"Xiaotuanzi, are you tired?"

Xiaotuanzi immediately shook his head at him when he heard it, but he couldn't help yawning. Zhumo laughed and said, "You kid, you shook your head even when you were sleepy. Even if the master is in a hurry, it's not too bad. One night's rest."

After speaking to her, he looked forward again, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a light hanging high in front of him, and there seemed to be an inn, so he drove his horse towards the place of the light, and finally found an inn.

"Call-"

He stopped the horse, then dismounted from the horse, carried Xiao Tuanzi down, and led her into the inn together.

The decoration of this inn is a bit old. It seems that it has been standing here for a long time. The words "Renyuan Inn" on the plaque have been peeled off. If you don't look carefully, you can't recognize the words.

Even the wooden door of the inn is dilapidated and looks like it will fall off with a slight touch.

Zhu Mo escorted Xiao Tuanzi into the inn, perhaps because it was too late, so there were not many guests in the inn at the moment, only one or two people from the rivers and lakes were seen drinking and eating inside.

As soon as the two entered, those who were drinking turned their heads to look at them, and then continued to eat their dishes as if nothing had happened. The inn was quiet and depressing.

Zhu Mo didn't pay much attention to this, and just glanced at them, then walked towards the counter.

There was a person standing at the counter, holding the account book in his hand from the very beginning, looking down at something, he seemed to be the shopkeeper of the inn, but he didn't even greet any guests, so Zhumo had to go by himself .

"Shopkeeper, are there any guest rooms?"

Hearing someone asking about the guest room, the shopkeeper replied without even raising his head: "Yes, but there is only one room left."

Hearing this, Zhumo glanced at Xiaotuanzi beside him, finally took out a small ingot of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and said, "Then give me a guest room."

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at the ingot of silver, and then sized up the man in front of him. Seeing that he was still with a child, he paused, then turned around and called Xiao Er over, and asked Xiao Er to take them upstairs. room rest.

"Come with me." Xiao Er came over to say hello, then turned around and went upstairs.

Seeing the situation, Zhumo glanced at the people who were having dinner over there, and saw that they quickly turned their faces away, and they had calculations in their hearts, but they didn't show it, they just followed the little girl to the guest room upstairs.

Just now I saw the oldness of this inn from the outside, the guest rooms are also like this, it seems that they are not cleaned frequently, the corners are covered with cobwebs, and there is a thin layer of dust on the table, it does not look like it is often occupied look.

The most strange thing is that in such an environment, the shopkeeper just said that the restaurant is full. Is it true that everyone is so easy to deceive?
Not to mention the harsh environment here, when they came up just now, the doors of the row of rooms upstairs were closed tightly, and there was no movement inside, so it didn't look like someone lived there!Obviously, the shopkeeper is cheating!
"I said how long has it been since your inn was cleaned? It's so dirty, how can you live in it!" Zhu Mo said dissatisfied after looking at the room.

Xiao Er, who brought them up, heard his words and glanced at him indifferently.

"We are too busy entertaining guests every day. How can we have extra time to clean carefully? This is already very good! We are the only inn within a hundred miles. If you like to stay, you can stay. If you don't, you can find it." Stay away!"

Just now he said in vain that they are the only inn within a hundred miles, and now he said to let them find another one. This is because they have no choice, so they dare to be so arrogant!

Zhumo frowned slightly when he heard the words, moved the corners of his mouth and was about to say something, but the waiter didn't wait for him to speak, directly left them in the room, turned around and went downstairs.

At this point, Zhumo led Xiaotuanzi to the table, patted the dust on the stool, let her sit on the stool, then swept the table, put the burden on the table, and took out the bag from inside. Here comes a dry ration.

"Duanzi, let's eat something first."

Xiaotuanzi nodded and took the white flour steamed bun he handed over, grabbed it with both hands and gnawed it down, Zhumo watched her sitting there eating, turned to look at the window, and finally walked to the in front of a closed window.

Open the window slightly, and you can see the scene behind the inn. The shopkeeper who was outside before is now at the back, talking to two people who look like juniors.

Because the distance was a bit far, and they deliberately lowered their voices, Zhu Mo didn't hear what they said clearly, but just watched them talking and looked towards him, so he quickly closed the window again, It was not discovered by them.

Later, he didn't continue to check on them, he just stood in front of the window for a while and then returned to Xiaotuanzi's side.

When I came back, I saw that she had almost finished eating a steamed bun, so I asked, "How about it, is one enough? If not, there is still more in the package."

When Xiaotuanzi heard his question, she quickly stuffed the last piece into her mouth, and her cheeks on both sides bulged, with a mouthful in her mouth, she replied vaguely: "I'm full! "
