Chapter 579 You are not dead?!

On the evening of the next day, Wang Sancai and his six members had arrived at the capital of Li State.

The capital was filled with snow, and the troops came and went in a hurry on the streets. Compared to the last line of defense that Wang Sancai and others had passed before, the atmosphere in the capital was not very tense. From time to time, you can see some deserted cotton coats that were inevitably wrapped in piles of worn cotton coats squeezing in the corners to keep warm.

Due to the war, it was difficult to find a business inn on major streets. Fortunately, there were also tourists like Wang Sancai and others who were passing by in a hurry, which made them appear in this deserted capital not conspicuously.

"It's not easy for us to find a place to sleep tonight!" The female bluebird looked up at the snow in the sky, and finally her eyes fell on the refugees who were fleeing famine in the corner, with a little nervousness: "Do we have to hide in the corner like them?"

Qingniao is the name given to her by the old madam in the brothel. She was sold to the brothel since she was a child. She didn't even know her surname. She even rarely had the chance to get out of Qingniao since she was a child. Her life circle was only the size of a brothel.

However, she was completely opposite to the silent Zhou Ran. After waking up, she realized that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. After the initial shock, she gradually realized that the people around her would not hurt her, and became more and more active.

Aning frowned and warned in a low voice: "If you don't speak, no one will regard you as a mute. How did I tell you before coming?"

"Oh, I understand, you say you can stop talking if you can stop talking." Qingniao couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but she was quite obedient. After saying this, she secretly looked at Wang Sancai who was walking in front of her, and found that Wang Sancai didn't notice her, so she was so glad that she stuck out her tongue.

She would never forget this morning when she saw the man who knocked her out, and turned her head and changed her face. Inexplicably, she became frightened by Wang Sancai.

"Let's all pay attention to see if there is an inn that can be settled in." Wang Sancai whispered, looking at the tall and palace-like building in the distance. But he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if Xiaobai and his father are inside."

While talking, Wang Sancai couldn't help but loosen the cotton coat on his upper body. He really hated the inconvenience caused by being wrapped in a pile of thick clothes.

Not only him, everyone has already put on cotton coats, and even Wang Sancai and Aning, who don’t feel the cold, are no exception. The reason why they did this is naturally because they don’t want to attract too much attention.

"If we thought well before, Bai Xiao and his father must be in the palace. The key is that it will be more difficult for us to rescue them." Fang Tong sighed deeply.

Wang Sancai shook his head: "If they were a father and a son, we might not have to take them away. Since their Bai family has been listed as traitors by Zhou State, if they were brought back to Zhou State to hide and live in hiding, it would be better to let them stay here!"

"That's right." David Black also echoed: "Since Li State robbed Bai Youchang from the fortress of Zhou at all costs, Bai Youchang must be of great use to Li State, and Li State will definitely not treat him unfairly."

"Yes, that man took Bai Xiao away, and Bai Youchang had no worries. Maybe even if we wanted to take them away, they might not have to go with us." Fang Tong also figured it out after hearing what the two said, but he couldn't help but complain at this moment: "Oh, if we had known that this would be the result, we might as well stay in Feiliu City at the beginning, and we wouldn't have had so many troubles along the way."

"If we were still in Feiliu City, we would never know the result now, right?" Wang Sancai asked in a low voice and took a deep breath: "Anyway, we have come here, and seeing Bai Xiao safe is a pity."

"Do you still want to go back to Feiliu City in the future?" Aning suddenly interrupted.

Wang Sancai stopped and turned around: "Of course, at least I have to go back and give Uncle Zhuang an explanation."

His words were more like sighing. Aning forced a smile after hearing this: "I'm just asking casually."

Just as Wang Sancai was about to say something, his shoulder was suddenly slapped, and Fang Tong couldn't help but say excitedly: "Brother, there is an inn open in front of him."

Wang Sancai turned his head and saw that there was indeed a large inn at the end of the long street. Many travelers also chose to stay in this only inn. Wang Sancai was worried that the inn would have no spare rooms, so he didn't care about saying anything else and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's hurry up."

The few people immediately accelerated the speed, but in order to avoid attracting attention, no one used their energy to activate it. But even so, the blue bird could not keep up with everyone's footsteps. Aning saw it and simply lifted her up.

Soon, everyone came to this inn, but as soon as they arrived at the inn, Wang Sancai and others couldn't help but feel disappointed. They saw that even the inn hall was crowded with people. It was not difficult to see from the neatly dressed these people, at least they were definitely not refugees.

Even the hall was crowded, and everyone knew what was going on. However, Wang Sancai walked into the inn with the intention of trying it out and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you still have an empty room?"

The shopkeeper was wrapped in a cotton jacket and a thick hat on his head. He looked at Wang Sancai and others helplessly, then looked at the crowded hall, and shrugged innocently at Wang Sancai.

Fang Tong quickly added: "It's OK in the second-floor corridor! We just want to find a place to avoid the wind and cold."

The shopkeeper glanced at the six people a few times, as if he could see that the six people were not like ordinary people. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "We still have an ordinary room here. However, during the war, you have also seen the situation. What is the cost..."

"How much?" David Black got to the point.

The shopkeeper blinked and smiled kitsch: "A piece of fine Yuanshi for one night!"

It would be fine if it was a high-quality Yuan stone, but an ordinary room would actually require a high-quality Yuan stone in one night. What a joke?!

Although Wang Sancai is not bad for this fine Yuanshi, he is not a sucker. When he heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "Let's go, go ahead and take a look. I don't believe that I can't find other inns."

Seeing that the six people turned around and left, the shopkeeper looked regretful and immediately stopped him and said, "Oh, ah, don't leave, we can still discuss it!"

When he heard the shopkeeper's words, he became even more determined about what Wang Sancai thought. Without saying a word, he immediately took people to the inn.

The inn was at the end of the long street. Before they could say anything, they saw a group of people surrounding another long street that had turned around.

The group of people were ragged and skinny, and they were weathered and frost-bearing refugees. These inevitably flocked to the streets, not only blocking the long streets, but also seemed to surrounded an extended carriage parked on the side of the street.

Wang Sancai could still see a constant stream of refugees rushing towards this corner in the distance, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Let's go and have a look."

It is easy for Wang Sancai and others to squeeze into the refugee pile. Although Bluebird is also an ordinary person, it is not difficult to squeeze into the crowd with Aning next to her.

As he gradually squeezed in, Wang Sancai also found that there was a circle of fully armed soldiers in the inner circle. The guards holding weapons surrounded two women and one man in the center. However, one of them was the most forward, while the other woman and the man were half a step behind her. It was easy to see that the woman in front was the leader of this group of people.

In front of these three people was a big pot, with many cold steamed buns inside, and a few servants were quickly giving steamed buns to the refugees.

It turns out that which wealthy noble family came out to care about refugees and do good deeds.

"Let's go, I thought something happened!" Wang Sancai shook his head and was about to turn around and squeeze out, but suddenly he found that Fang Tong was frozen beside him. When he turned his head and saw Fang Tong staring at the three people surrounded by the guards in the center. He suddenly seemed to have changed his body, and he squeezed into it like a crazy person. While squeezing, he also shouted excitedly: "You are not dead?! You are not dead?!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
