Fortunately, in a shop with lights in the distance, I heard a sound and walked out of a waiter. After taking a look at this place, I quickly spoke:

"Miss Li, you recognize the wrong person, that's not your son."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Zuo Lingquan stepped forward to support the old woman.

The waiter looked enthusiastic, so he opened his umbrella and ran over, helping to help the old woman walk back into the house, and explained:

"Mrs. Li's son was lost in the mountains before, and since then he has been confused and runs out when he hears the sound, which has scared many people walking at night."

Zuo Lingquan was indeed startled. Seeing the old woman's confused appearance, she sighed softly:

"There is no one else at home?"

"I only have one son. I used to be very filial. I didn't marry my wife to treat my mother's eyes. As soon as I didn't, Aunt Li was the only one left. Alas..."

The waiter helped the old woman back into the house, closed the door, and said:

"The two look like they are pretty good. It seems that they are coming to the county town for the first time. It rains heavily at night. If you find a place to stay, you can go to the shop in front and have a guest room."

The two were already preparing to find a place to settle down, and now they walked towards the inn with the waiter. Jiang Yi asked:

"We just came from the capital and saw blood splashing on the city gate and talisman paper pasted, but what dirty thing happened in the city?"

The waiter saw Jiang Yi carrying a sword, followed by a bodyguard who was holding a horse. He thought it was a female hero from the Jianghu family and said:

"The female hero has a good eye. There are some rumors in the city recently, and I don't know very well. It seems that there are people who chop wood and have hit ghosts in Dahuangling. In recent years, some villagers have been lost, so no one dares to go out at night. The black dog blood on the city gate was splashed by the guy from the dog meat shop in front, and it is useless..."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly and asked again:

“Are there many people lost?”

"When you go into the mountains to chop wood and dig medicine, you will inevitably encounter tigers, leopards, snakes. It is common for people to lose, and a few people will disappear every year; not only the county town, but also other places in the county town, but also people will get lost..."

Jiang Yi is not surprised by this. The Dadan government also reports many missing cases every year. It would be a strange thing if there were many people in a county in that year.

She thought about it, approached Zuo Lingquan and whispered:

"I guess it's the yamen here. In order to facilitate the settlement of the case, all the missing people who could not be found were summed up and made up a reason to report it. The people could not react like this in the violent beasts."

"I've come here, let's find out the matter first and then make a conclusion. If it's just lost accidentally and there are no ferocious beasts to make trouble, it's a good thing."

Jiang Yi nodded slowly, stopped talking, and entered the small inn in the county with Zuo Lingquan.

There are no ghosts on the street, but there are quite a lot of people in the inn.

Zuo Lingquan entered the gate and glanced at him and found that the six tables in the lobby of the inn were all sitting, all in the world, and they were dressed in a bad mood. They looked like they were only from the lobby entrance of the world, and they seemed to know each other. One of the middle-aged men in brocade clothes and swords were talking loudly with an old man in martial arts uniform:

"... Mr. Song is highly respected in Zezhou. Just send a junior here, why should he come here in person?"

The old man in the martial arts uniform is quite old, but his limbs are well-proportioned and his temples are bulging high. He is obviously a good player in his foreign family's way. He smiled at this:

"Fist is afraid of being strong. Bitan Villa is now powerful. I can still suppress it ten years ago, but now there is no way. This is the case in the world. I am not capable of tying up my seniority and being unable to bear the face sooner or later. It is better to give way to my juniors neatly..."

"Old Mr. Song is too modest..."

...

When Zuo Lingquan heard these words, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. Without disturbing him, he walked directly to the guest room upstairs with the waiter.

Jiang Yi walked in front of Zuo Lingquan and found the change in Zuo Lingquan's expression, and asked:

"What are you laughing at? Those people are also practitioners?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "It's just an ordinary person in the martial arts world. Before I entered the path of cultivation, I was the number one swordsman in the four southern counties. I came from a wealthy family and had unparalleled swordsmanship. I was given the nickname "Seven Young Masters". I always took the top seat for the gathering of people in the martial arts world like the ones below."

Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Lingquan was very powerful in the secular world and was forced to go to Beijing to become the candidate for the son-in-law. It was because Zuo Lingquan was wandering everywhere in the four southern counties, and his reputation of "both color and art" was well known to everyone, and the Zuo family could not hide it, so he sent him to the capital.

Jiang Yi did not deny Zuo Lingquan's self-promotion, but said:

"Is that so? I'm afraid there were many heroes close to you at that time? With your temper, how much harm did you harm?"

Zuo Lingquan looked helpless and raised his hand to pinch Jiang Xiaojie Jan's face:

"I have been a fan of martial arts since I was a child. I just wanted to find someone to fight and temper myself. I am not interested in women. If you don't believe me, go and inquire. Who doesn't know that I'm not close to women' in the four southern counties?"

Jiang Yi had no intention of not believing it. She returned Zuo Lingquan with her elbow, and then looked at the waiter walking in front of him:

"Waiter, what are the people below doing?"

The waiter took the key and opened the door to a wing room:

"There is a family of Jianghu in the county town. He is the first in Zezhou. Recently, the owner of the manor celebrated his birthday, and all of them went to the banquet. I see that the two guests are also dressed up by Jianghu, so they didn't go there?"

"Passing here, just ask for it."

Jiang Yi waited for the door to open and was about to enter, but found that the waiter was about to go downstairs. He felt something was wrong and said:

“Only one room?”

The waiter paused and turned around and said:

"The lobby is full of people, and there is really no other room. If the heroine doesn't live with her, she can ask him to come to the lobby to have a floor shop and make do with her for one night."

Jiang Yi choked and she was so embarrassed to let Zuo Lingquan go to the lobby. Moreover, Zuo Lingquan ran away, so she was so scared alone; but she couldn't say in front of the waiter, "Forget it, I'll sleep with him."

Zuo Lingquan shook his head secretly, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and skillfully threw it to the waiter:

"Let's make arrangements for yourself, and the second brother will help boil a pot of hot water."

"Oh~ I've given too much for my son."

"Reward you."

"Mr. Xie..."

…—

After half an hour.

In the inn room, the crackling sound of rain hit the window ridge, making the room more quiet, and you can only hear the sound of 'crying' water.

The loose skirt and one-piece silver-scale soft armor were placed on the screen, and the dumpling was also squatting on it, staring at the door carefully according to Jiang Yi's instructions.

Jiang Yi sat in the foggy wooden barrel, rubbing her fair and jade-like skin with her hands. She was very small. She listened carefully to the movements in the aisle and asked in a low voice from time to time:

"Dunzi, he didn't come in?"

"grumble."

Tuanzi shook his head like a rattle.

Jiang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to clean.

But I haven't heard Zuo Lingquan's voice for a long time, and I'm afraid something happened to Zuo Lingquan, Jiang Yi couldn't help but speak again:

"Zuo Lingquan?"

Scream

The door opened immediately and was available at any time.

Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly shocked, and she quickly retreated into the wooden barrel and said hurriedly:

"Who asked you to come in?"

Zuo Lingquan walked into the room and closed the door, with a little puzzled look in his eyes:

"Didn't the princess call me?"

"I... I just want to see if you are here. Wouldn't you just make a sound? Go out quickly, I haven't finished washing yet."

Zuo Lingquan waited outside the door for nearly two quarters of an hour, thinking that Jiang Yi had finished washing. He had already come in, and he had no intention of going out again:

"I don't look around through the screen. My clothes are soaked. I stand outside like a fool. The princess washes beautifully by herself. I have to change my clothes, right?"

Jiang Yi hid in the bathtub and threatened in a deep voice:

"Can you go out?"

Step on

The footsteps came towards the screen, and Tuanzi also yelled twice to remind him.

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly became panicked and she quickly changed her words:

"Forget it if you don't go out, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

Zuo Lingquan was satisfied and turned around and walked to the table, took off his straw raincoat and outer robe. Because he had to take a shower later, he did not put on dry clothes, but sat down on the chair in thin pants, looked at the map around the county town, and asked:

"Princess, there is only one bed in the house..."

"I am sleeping in bed, you sleep on the ground."

“…”

"Why don't you talk?...I can sleep on the ground. You are very tired when you lead a horse so far. Please reward you..."

"or……"

"You think beautifully."

"I'll just lie down and don't move..."

"I believe you."
