Chapter 381 Inn

The place where the fight took place was far from any village or inn, and there was no place to stay. ɱ

And many people died in this place, so we couldn't camp.

If we wanted to rest, we had to find another place.

Even if it was dark, we could only travel with torches.

What made Ling Chu feel relieved was that she didn't have to share a horse with Lord Ning anymore.

Those men in black died, but their horses were still in the woods.

Ning Chuyi picked a horse and left his snow-covered horse to Ling Chu.

In addition to Ning Chuyi, many imperial guards also replaced the horses of those men in black.

However, the number was limited, and not everyone could replace them.

But it was much better than before, and the horses that were replaced were not abandoned, but let them set off with everyone.

Although those horses were exhausted, they would be much easier to run without carrying heavy loads and people.

In this way, if a horse gets tired in the future, they can replace each other.

The rain stopped earlier, and the emperor changed his clothes with the help of eunuch An and others.

Ling Chu was not so lucky.

Although she brought some spare clothes, she was in the wilderness and she was the only girl present, so she could not change her clothes at all.

Ling Chu envied the emperor for being able to change into dry clothes, but soon, she stopped being envious.

Because it started raining again.

Winter is cold, and wearing wet clothes to rush in the wind and rain, Ling Chu felt that she was about to freeze into an ice cube.

At this moment, she actually missed the time when she rode with Lord Ning before. With him blocking the wind and rain in front, she was much more comfortable.

However, this thought was only thought for a moment, and Ling Chu drove it out of her mind.

Lord Ning had no choice but to give her a ride before, and now they couldn't ride together again.

If she dared to speak, everyone would probably drown her with a mouthful of spit.

Lord Ning just saved her, she couldn't repay his kindness with hatred and ruin his reputation.

Reason didn't allow Ling Chu to do anything shameful, but it was a pity to think about it.

Such a tall body, it's a waste not to use it to protect against the wind and rain.

The next second, Ling Chu spit on himself again.

He raised his hand to support the bamboo hat on his head. It's okay to get wet in the rain, but the brain can't get wet.

Otherwise, if he did something shameful, how could she maintain the image of a fairy and make money by fortune-telling for others.

Sighing in his heart, Ling Chu shook his head, put aside the messy thoughts, and concentrated on hurrying on his way.

Ning Chuyi, who was riding a horse silently beside him, didn't know what she was thinking, but inexplicably felt that Ling Chu's eyes looking at him just now revealed a trace of pity.

Ning Chuyi frowned, thinking again and again in his mind while hurrying on his way, but he couldn't think of what he had done that made her feel sorry.

After leaving the forest, in order not to be ambushed halfway, the emperor ordered to change the route.

The road they were walking on was chosen by the Emperor, Ning Chuyi, and Commander Pang based on the route on the map. Ling Chu had never walked on it before.

She sighed. After three days of traveling, she had already eaten all the dry food. She was so hungry that she didn't know how long it would take to find a place to stay.

It was already dark, and everyone was traveling with torches, so the speed was naturally not as fast as during the day.

After walking for nearly an hour, the people in front found that there was a light in the distance.

Although it was only a little, it was enough to make everyone happy.

Even Ling Chu was refreshed and sped up with everyone.

A quarter of an hour later.

As the horses ran closer and closer, everyone smiled.

They actually found an inn, which was really great.

Everyone pulled the reins and couldn't wait to get off the horse.

Ling Chu looked up. The inn in front of him had two floors, with a large plaque hanging on it, engraved with Bafangyue Inn.

There were two half-new red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate, which must be the light they saw in the distance just now. Although it was not big, the light made people feel warm in such a stormy night.

It was estimated that it was the beginning of the hour of Hai, but the inn had not closed yet, but it was not completely open, but half-covered.

There were many people, and although they did not make loud noises, the sound of horse hooves was not small.

After everyone got off the horse, no one came out to greet them in the inn.

A guard came forward and pushed open the half-closed door.

Welcome the emperor in.

Ling Chu followed the emperor and Ning Chuyi and others and slowly stepped into the gate.

Looking around, he found that there were three people dressed as waiters in the lobby, lying on the table and sleeping soundly. Behind the counter, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper, who was propping up his chin and dozing off little by little.

It turned out that they were all asleep, no wonder no one came out to greet them.

Perhaps they heard the creaking sound of the door, the shopkeeper and three waiters raised their heads in a daze and looked towards the door.

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and saw that the person standing at the door was dressed unusually. He hurriedly smiled and greeted him with a simple face, "Dear guests, do you want to have a meal or stay in the hotel?"

The emperor did not speak, and General Pang came forward, "Shopkeeper, we want to stay in the hotel. How many rooms do you have, arrange them all for us."

The shopkeeper smiled three times more than before when he heard it, "Okay, okay, but... guests, our inn has 33 rooms on the upper and lower floors, do you... want all?"

The shopkeeper did not go out, and did not know how many people there were in their group, thinking that there were only a dozen people in front of him.

Commander Pang frowned, "There are many of us, and this room is not enough. Are there any utility rooms and firewood rooms? Clear them out, we all want to live there."

The shopkeeper was surprised. Seeing Commander Pang's face tense, he nodded and bowed in fear, "Yes, but the utility rooms and firewood rooms are a bit messy. Please wait for a moment, I will ask someone to clean them up first."

Commander Pang was not annoyed, and nodded in response, "Okay, please be quick."

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper responded respectfully and immediately began to assign tasks.

First, he called two assistants to clean up the utility room and firewood room, and then instructed the last assistant to take the people outside to lead the horses to the stable to take care of them.

Although the emperor did not speak, he was surrounded by many imperial guards, and the shopkeeper naturally saw that he was the most important person in this line.

He personally stepped forward and asked for consent before leading the emperor to the second floor.

In addition to the emperor's room on the second floor, Duke Ningguo, Ning Chuyi and his son, Ling Chu, Sun Yuanzheng and others were also arranged on the same floor.

The remaining rooms were allocated to the imperial guards.

Although the inn was not small, they had many people, and even with the firewood room and the utility room, they could not accommodate so many people.

Only some people could sleep on the floor.

Although not everyone could sleep on the bed, no one had any objections.

When you are away from home, you can't be too particular. It was late at night and it was raining. They ran for so long and only found such an inn. It was very good to have a place to rest without getting wet in the rain and to have a hot meal.

However, the innkeeper was honest and enthusiastic. Knowing that they could not stay, he gave up his original room. Even the guys gave their own residence to them. (End of this chapter)
