Ye Shikai led the guard to move forward slowly. After all, He Linghan was just a woman and had never ridden a horse before. Besides, he wanted to cherish the wonderful time he was with her.

When the guards passed the junction of Dongjun and Hanoijun, it was already very late. He asked the troops to find an inn and set up camp next to him, so that He Linghan could live in the inn.

"Sir, you should live in the inn too. Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe if you leave your wife alone in the inn." Mancang suggested. After all, this is not an official road, it's just a small road, and there are not many people coming and going. This inn stands alone on the side of the road, which is a bit suspicious.

"Okay, then you can stay here with your brothers, Xue San will take a few brothers next to me." Ye Shikai was really worried. If he encountered a "black store", it would be more troublesome.

"Shopkeeper, put some wine and meat. In addition, there are more than 200 horses outside. Make some grass and take good care of it." Ye Shikai brought the sergeant into the store and walked towards a waiter.

"Please, please come from the army, should you try to play the top or stay in a hotel?"

"Open three rooms. If you need it, I will tell you again." Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Okay, please come inside."

Ye Shikai took He Linghan into the guest room. The ancient hotels were naturally not as modern as modern, and this was not a big city in Xianyang. It was just a small inn on the roadside. The conditions were naturally average, but it was better than sleeping in the open air.

"Ling'er, how is this place?"

"It's pretty good, you know I don't care about this." He Linghan said lightly. Ye Shikai observed carefully. This was on the second floor. There was a yard outside the window, and there were some poultry such as chickens and ducks. There was nothing unusual. This shop was only a few dozen square meters and could not hide many people. What's more, Ye Shikai had two hundred guards around him, so safety should be fine.

"Well, then we will stay here tonight. If tomorrow goes well, we should be able to go to the County Magistrate's Mansion." Ye Shikai nodded and said.

"Sir, I've checked it, everything in the room is normal." Xue San walked up to report. The reason why Ye Shikai asked him to protect him was because he was once a gangster and was familiar with these inns. So before checking in, he ordered Xue San to check it carefully.

"Yeah, very good."

"Sir, this inn is a bit strange." Xue San said suddenly. After hearing this, He Linghan's body trembled instinctively.

"What do you mean?" Ye Shikai asked immediately.

"First of all, there are few inns on such remote paths. Now the situation is turbulent, and many robbers have emerged in the East County. If there were no strong armed forces in such a small shop, they would have been robbed by robbers long ago. But it looks peaceful here, and there are also many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the courtyard, which is very strange."

"You mean... this is a black shop opened by the robbers." After hearing this, Ye Shikai looked solemn. Xue San said solemnly, but he ignored this point.

"This is just a guess from my subordinates. When I was exploring the world in the past, I often heard of black shops run by bandits and robbers. They mixed in anesthetics to the meals, numbing past guests, then taking their lives, taking their money, and burying the bodies in the wilderness. There is no way to find them."

"Is it so scary?" He Linghan couldn't help but feel scary when he heard Xue San's words. This sounded really scary. In fact, there was indeed such a black store. If he encountered it, he could only blame himself for being unlucky.

"Madam General, please rest assured. If you have subordinates here, you will definitely ensure that you are safe."

"Xue San, check the dishes in this restaurant later." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Don't worry, sir, our brothers have been in the kitchen all the time. I think even if this is a black shop, I don't dare to attack us. There are two hundred brothers outside the door. If something happens inside, they can razend the place to the ground in the blink of an eye."

"No matter what, be careful."

night.

"Shopkeeper, do you usually have many customers here?" Ye Shikai asked at the dinner table during dinner.

"Oh, I'm going to hide it from this military master. Although our road is a little remote, it is a shortcut for nearby merchants to travel to and from various counties. Naturally, no one is coming to the evening, but there are still many people during the day. They often come to the store to rest and order some tea and wine and meat." The waiter replied.

"Is that right? The situation is turbulent now, and there are many robbers and bandits nearby. Are you not afraid of being robbed when you open a shop here?" Ye Shikai asked back.

"Mr. Jun Ye is so bad. This road is so long, only our store, and the merchants who come and go have a place to rest. If the store is destroyed, then there will be no place for the merchants to stop. Then the merchants on this road will inevitably decrease. If I am a robber, I naturally don't want the merchants here to disappear."

Ye Shikai understood what the waiter said. Compared to robbing this inn, merchants on the way can get more, but if the inn is destroyed, there will be fewer merchants. Although the robbers are barbaric, they will not do anything about killing chickens and retrieving eggs.

"Several military lords, what do you want to eat?"

"Come some wine, meat, and noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment, the good food will come soon."

"Sir, I took my brothers to check it out just now. There is no authenticity under the inn and no one can hide. Brothers have tried the wine and meat, no problem." Xue San said softly from the side.

"Can we really be suspicious? Maybe this is just an ordinary inn." He Linghan said lightly.

"Several military masters, I know you are worried that this is a black shop that kills and robs. Please rest assured that the shop is very clean." The waiter brought the dishes to the table. Seeing that everyone was not moving for a long time, he also guessed their thoughts.

"If several military officials don't believe it, the villain can try it."

"Haha, no need, why don't we believe it? It's just that my wife suddenly felt unwell." Ye Shikai suddenly smiled and took out some broken silver from her pocket.

"Shopkeeper, kill two chickens and stew some hot chicken soup for my wife. The remaining silver will be regarded as a reward for you."

"Yes, thank you for your reward. My little man will go now, so don't be impatient."

"Everyone eat it." Ye Shikai said lightly, "Don't worry, this dish is not poisonous."

After hearing this, everyone was puzzled, but they believed Ye Shikai, so they ate it. Although the restaurant was remote, their cooking skills were pretty good.

"I remember there is a poison that is divided into two. If you take one of the poisons, it doesn't matter. But if the two poisons are mixed together, they can form a very poison. If the store poisons the dishes and wine separately, it will be difficult for the brothers who are trying the poison to find out. However, just in case, I tried it with a dog outside the store. Neither the wine nor the food is poisoned." Ye Shikai explained to everyone.
