Chapter 527

One day, Zhang Jin was sitting on the top roof of the inn, biting a dried date in his mouth, which was the only sweet thing he could find.It is said that eating sugar can make people feel better, but he doesn't think so, and eating dried dates is just to satisfy his hunger.

In the Longmen Inn in the desert, most people choose to drink to satisfy their hunger, not only the passing caravan guys, but also the Tatars like Chang Xiaowen, who do nothing every day, just drink from getting up in the morning until going to bed at night .

It's not that Zhang Jin has never tried drinking to relieve boredom, but drinking alone is really boring, and his current status as Jin Yiwei is doomed to drink with other people.

And in his opinion, the wine stored in the Longmen Inn is really not good to drink. Whether it is kumiss, white wine or rice wine, the taste is quite bad.

He also felt that it was a pity that there were no wine sellers in the caravans that had come and gone these few days. There were quite a few people who bought and sold tea, coarse salt and silk.

Zhang Jin, who was staring at the sky in a daze, suddenly focused his eyes, spat out the jujube pit in his mouth, slowly stood up from the hut, and looked towards the sky in front of him on the left.

In the southwest sky, there was a wave of black and dense things that looked like clouds but not clouds, surging up and down, like some kind of ghosts and ghosts!
He didn't need to guess to know that it must be the flock of birds avoiding the black sandstorm in the movie. Seeing these birds proves that the black sandstorm is coming soon, and there are several protagonists who will come with the black sandstorm.

"It's finally here, so you don't have to wait any longer."

Zhang Jin was secretly happy, turned over and jumped off the roof, using the [Tianxing Bracelet] to lightly land on the yellow sandy ground.

The arrival of the flock of birds also attracted the attention of many people in the inn. Seeing this scene, Liang Cai hurriedly winked at some of the staff, and began to persuade people to leave the inn and go to the post station fifty miles away to avoid the black sandstorm.

Seeing Zhang Jin coming in from the door, Liang Cai rushed forward to persuade him, "My lord, the black sandstorm is coming, you should also go to the post station to hide. The black sandstorm is too dangerous, and when it blows up The entire inn will be buried!"

"Understood, you should inform other people." Zhang Jin said casually, then turned and walked towards his room.

After returning to the room, Zhang Jin flipped out from the window, stole a few candles while the inn clerk was not paying attention, then returned to the room, opened the door and shouted loudly to Liang Cai and others downstairs: " Prepare me a baked naan and mutton jerky to take away."

Liang Cai responded, and turned around to send Er Cai, who was clearing the table, to the back kitchen to prepare food.

Chang Xiaowen also heard his call, looked up at Liang Cai, raised his hair and raised his eyebrows, his eyes were sharp.

Seeing her implying that he was going to poison him, Liang Cai quickly turned around and made a concealed gesture to signal her not to act rashly.

Since this Jin Yiwei intends to leave, then let the other party leave, one more thing is worse than one less thing, treasure digging is the most important thing!
Seeing Liang Cai being so cowardly, Chang Xiaowen rolled his eyes angrily, turned his head and continued drinking.

Not long after, the roasted naan and dried mutton were ready and delivered to Zhang Jin in a cloth package.

"My lord, what else do you need?" Liang Cai smiled attentively.

Zhang Jin opened the cloth package and smelled it, and after confirming that it was not poisoned, he threw a piece of silver to the other party: "This is enough. The black sandstorm is coming, so you should leave quickly. If you stay here, you will only die."

"Thank you for your concern, sir, we will definitely leave." Liang Cai cupped his hands in thanks.

Zhang Jin nodded, didn't say much, and walked out of the inn with the cloth package.

"My hostess said that we will meet again next time, and I will definitely let you see her true skills!" Ha Gang Tongga suddenly said loudly.

"Don't worry, I believe we will meet again soon." After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Liang Cai walked to the table of the Tatars, and said somewhat dissatisfied and helpless: "Everyone is gone, why do you say such things?"

Zhang Jin left the inn, taking advantage of the time when no one was paying attention, he slipped to the entrance of the secret passage before, opened the wooden door, and the moment he entered the secret passage, he saw the end of the southern horizon, two figures riding camels slowly heading towards the dragon gate Come to the inn.

Judging from the appearance and time, it should be Ling Yanqiu and Su Huirong.

"There are two more protagonists entering the arena." Zhang Jin thought in his heart, slipped into the tunnel, and then closed the secret door.

Here, Ling Yanqiu brought Su Huirong to the Longmen Inn, and after fastening the camel's reins, the two of them walked into the Longmen Inn regardless of Huang Gang's persuasion at the door.

"I told you to guard the door so no one could come in, why did you come in again?" Liang Cai, who had just sent the caravan away, grabbed Huang Gang who came in from the outside, and asked angrily.

Huang Gang was also very helpless: "They ignore me, I can't stop them."

Liang Cai left Huang Gang annoyed, and hurried over to persuade Ling Yanqiu and the two, but before he could speak, Ling Yanqiu stopped him with a word.

"Understood, let's go after eating."

Seeing this, Liang Cai couldn't say anything more, so he could only ask, "Uh... what do you two want to eat?"

"I'll have a bowl of mutton soup...noodles." Su Huirong reached for the chopsticks, but Ling Yanqiu raised her hand to stop her.

Ling Yanqiu showed an old-fashioned smile on his face: "Give me two bowls of plain noodles, and nothing else, that's all."

"Zhongzhongzhong, the plain noodles will be here soon." Seeing her appearance, Liang Cai knew that the visitor must be a well-behaved Jianghu person, so he said straightforwardly, "Tell the kitchen two bowls of plain noodles."

After Liang Cai left, Ling Yanqiu explained the rules of the Longmen Inn to Su Huirong who was ignorant.

But before the two of them sat on the table, Ling Yanqiu, who was watching all directions and listening to all directions, noticed a large number of people coming outside. She went to the window and looked out vigilantly, and found that the group of people were acting suspiciously, so she returned immediately. Before arriving at the table, Su Huirong who was still waiting for plain noodles was dragged away.

As soon as the two left, the large group of people outside stepped into the Longmen Inn.

The group of people who came was none other than the Xichang fans led by Tan Luzi, the second-stage head of Xichang. Although they all changed into ordinary people's clothes, their aura could be seen at a glance in the eyes of those who cared.

Xin Ping, who had just come out of the back kitchen with two bowls of plain noodles, suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers appear, and was so frightened that his hands shook, the tray and two bowls of noodles fell to the ground and were torn apart.

Fortunately, Liang Cai came to make a rescue in time, which avoided the danger of Xin Ping being suspected and exposed.

After Xin Ping left, only Chang Xiaowen and a group of Tatars who were drinking were the most conspicuous in the hotel lobby. Tan Luzi and others also looked at these Tatars unceremoniously.

The Tatars also stared at the group of uninvited guests with wine bowls.

The two sides confronted each other, their eyes met in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.

But soon, Huang Gang came in with a hand in hand, and smiled hospitablely at a regular customer: "Master Lu Bu, wash your hands clean!"

Lu Bu, the local snake guide who led the way for the Xichang people, was not polite, and asked for news while washing his hands: "Have you seen a woman with a fresh face in the past ten days?"

"A new face... I haven't seen it before." Liang Cai thought for a while and shook his head.

As an old Jianghu, he can definitely see that Ling Yanqiu and Su Huirong are disguised as men, but they know that the rules of the black shop are Daoist people. As long as there is no direct conflict, Daoist people will not betray Daoist people, let alone provoke officers and soldiers.

What's more, if those two disguised women were really the ones these officers and soldiers were looking for, wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they said they had seen each other?Seeing that the once-in-60-year black sandstorm is coming, he wished that everyone would leave the Longmen Inn, so as not to delay his plans to make a fortune!

Ling Yanqiu and Su Huirong didn't go far, but hid outside the inn to peek inside.

After a while, Chang Xiaowen and Tan Luzi, the second-rank leader of Xichang, disagreed and began to fight each other.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Liang Cai hurried forward to smooth things over, and finally calmed down the fight.

But no matter how much he persuaded, Tan Luzi and other Xichang people stayed firmly, and threatened to rent out the inn.

Liang Cai on this side was worried about how to get rid of these troublesome and evil stars. On the other side, Ling Yanqiu took Su Huirong to the kitchen to steal a leg of lamb, but accidentally bumped into Xichang and wanted to serve the Tatars with wine. poisonous conspiracy.

Su Huirong's unintentional exclamation aroused the vigilance of Xichang fanzi. Although they didn't catch the traces of the two when they came out to investigate, they still found a clue from the sachet that fell on the ground.

Ling Yanqiu took Su Huirong to the sand dunes not far from the inn, found the mechanism familiarly, opened the secret door, and led into the tunnel.

The wind and sand brought by the prelude of this black sandstorm covered up many traces of Zhang Jin's previous visits, so Ling Yanqiu didn't notice any clues. After entering the tunnel, he lit it with a fire fold and walked towards the depths.

"Hero, can I ask you a question? Why are you so familiar with this place? Have you been here many times? Are you just... ouch!" Su Huirong asked curiously, but the result was Inadvertently, he tripped and fell to the ground.

"Don't talk nonsense, watch the way." Ling Yanqiu helplessly reached out to help her, "What do you want to ask?"

"are you……"

Just as Su Huirong was halfway through her words, a male voice suddenly thought of her in front of her and took over the conversation: "She wants to ask if you are the imperial convict three years ago, the former proprietress of the Longmen Inn, Ling Yanqiu."

The sudden male voice made both of them alert!

Ling Yanqiu stretched out his hand to protect Su Huirong behind him, and poked forward with the torch in his hand, trying to illuminate the figure in the darkness ahead: "Who? Who is pretending to be a ghost in front!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not pretending to be a ghost." Zhang Jin smiled, took out the torch and lit the candle in his hand, and the dim and warm candlelight lit up, reflecting his appearance.

Ling Yanqiu's eyes were alert and sharp: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Su Huirong suddenly exclaimed: "Ahhhhh! He is... wearing... a flying fish suit!"

"Flying fish suit? Jinyiwei?" Ling Yanqiu was a little surprised, and glanced back at Su Huirong, "Isn't Xichang chasing you?"

"I, I don't know." Su Huirong shrank back in fear.

Zhang Jin turned his eyes from Su Huirong to Ling Yanqiu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not here to catch you, and shopkeeper Ling, the woman behind you is not as weak as you think, be careful to know people and faces." I don't know."

Ling Yanqiu smiled disdainfully: "You Jinyiwei just like to sow discord, don't think I will be fooled."

Zhang Jin shrugged and did not make any more excuses. Su Huirong had already won Ling Yanqiu's trust, and he could not identify the other party as a spy sent by Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory, without conclusive evidence.

Anyway, now that everyone is in the same boat, Su Huirong will reveal her identity sooner or later.

However, Su Huirong's hidden identity does not actually have much impact on her plan. The most important thing is to see if she can convince Yuhuatian when the time comes.As long as Yu Huatian is persuaded, Su Huirong will not have any threats.

"Nothing to say?" Ling Yanqiu didn't let him go.

"That's not true, I just don't think there's anything else to say." Zhang Jin took out the cloth package and opened it, "I have food here, you must be hungry, do you want some?"

But Ling Yanqiu said: "I dare not eat Jin Yiwei's food, who knows if there is poison in it."

"Then I'll eat it first as a respect." Zhang Jin put the cloth package on the stone between the two sides, then tore a piece of baked naan, and ate it with the dried mutton.

Su Huirong looked anxiously at the baked naan and dried mutton in the package, and swallowed.

She was really hungry, she purposely exclaimed in order to report to the people in Xichang, and the roast leg of lamb that she had just arrived and hadn't eaten two bites was also accidentally dropped when Ling Yanqiu dragged her to escape .

Now she can only lick her lips, reminiscing about the taste of the roast leg of lamb.

"Gollum..."

Su Huirong's stomach rumbled inappropriately, she was a little embarrassed and hopeful: "I think he eats very well."

Ling Yanqiu looked at her helplessly and speechlessly for a while, and then stepped forward to retrieve a piece of roasted naan and dried mutton from the cloth package, carefully identified and checked it, and handed it to Su Huirong after confirming that there was no problem: "Eat it ,no problem."

Su Huirong took it with a look of joy, then divided the thing in half, and handed it back to her: "You eat too!"

Ling Yanqiu smiled slightly, took the baked naan from her hand, and then helped her to sit firmly on the stone next to her. Then she ate and looked at Zhang Jin with curiosity in her tone: "The current Jinyiwei are all lackeys of the East Factory. Zhao Huaian killed several eunuchs in the East Factory, why don’t you, a Jin Yiwei, escort you in the capital, and why come to Longmen in the desert?”

"Zhao Huaian doesn't have time to kill the eunuch of the East Factory right now," Zhang Jin said.

"How do you know?" Ling Yanqiu asked.

Zhang Jin didn't answer directly, but said: "If there are no accidents, Zhao Huaian should have arrived at the post station fifty miles away by now."

"The station? What is he going there for?" Ling Yanqiu's attention was immediately attracted, so that she didn't notice the strange expression flashing across Su Huirong's face next to her.

"Zhao Huaian is the man who follows Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory. With his character and behavior, what do you think he is going to do at the post?" Zhang Jin asked rhetorically.

"Assassinate Yuhuatian." Ling Yanqiu said solemnly without hesitation.

The face of Su Huirong next to her changed slightly.
