Although the two men wore sweatshirts, they looked different from the Central Plainsmen, They had deep eyebrows and high noses.
The man in the lead was tall. He wore a bright blue satin robe with silver threads embroidered on the sleeves. He wore a dark cloak and a belt with white clouds around his waist. He wore a pair of black cloth boots. He walked like a tiger. The sword on his waist caught Su Qing’s attention. Looking at the sword, it is evident that it is heavy. The black gemstone inlaid on the hilt was priceless.
The man behind him was not as luxuriously dressed as the man in front. He took half a step back and scanned all the customers in the tavern with his sharp eyes. He should be the guard of the man in front. The two of them had a strong killing intent. Although they had deliberately hidden it, Su Qing could still sec it.
Although the boorish men in the tavern were also Jianghu people, they did not have such a strong killing intent. They should be soldiers who had been on the battlefield. That was the killing intent that came from killing many people.
“Shopkeeper, have you got any room?”
The attendant went over to ask. The shopkeeper looked up at them and stretched out three fingers.
“There are two superior rooms. Ten taels of silver a night.”
Xiaoying clicked her tongue. Was this a black market? Ten taels of silver a night?
“Alright, I want two rooms for three days.”
The attendant didn’t stop and took out some money to book two rooms. The generous one must be for three days.
“The bathwater is charged separately.”
The shopkeeper took the silver and said. Xiaoying looked down at the teapot. A pot of water cost one tael of silver, and she needed to use a basin of bathwater. How much silver would that cost?
This bath was at a sky-high price!
“Alright, how much is it?”
In the end, the two of them did not even blink. They did not think it was expensive and directly asked for the price.
“Fifteen taels of silver for a bucket of water.”
The shopkeeper did not stand on ceremony and waited for them to fork out the money after he finished bidding.
” Alright, I’ll give you the golden leaves and order hot water for three days.”
The attendant felt it was a little expensive, so he looked at his master. The man who had been silent all this time nodded, then he took out a golden leaf and handed it over.
“Do you want both rooms?”
The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up when he saw the golden leaf. His att.i.tude towards these two people became warm.
“Both.”
The attendant wanted to say that he only wanted one room, but the man who had been silent all this while spoke up.
His voice was deep and powerful, and one could tell that he had strong internal strength.
“Alright.”
A smile appeared on the shopkeeper’s face. After taking the gold leaves and calculating the price difference, he gave them the remaining silver.
“There’s a freshly seasoned beef tendon. Would you like to try it?”
“Give me three catties and three catties of flatbread/’
The attendant nodded. They had been traveling for a long time and were already hungry.
“We also want a catty of beef tendon and flatbread.”
No one came to Su Qing’s table to order. Su Qing called out to the waiter when he heard the beef tendon that had just been seasoned.
The man turned around when he heard Su Qing’s voice. This person was very tricky. Su Qing felt that his eyes were unfathomable.
She retracted her gaze and drank her water slowly.
The few big men drinking in the shop had been staring at the two men since they entered. When they saw the attendant take out the golden leaf, they looked at each other and gestured at the two of them with their mouths.
“Sister, those people are up to no good,”
Xiaoying was different from the past. She had learned to observe and could see who was good or terrible.
“Yes.”
Su Qing nodded and reminded Xiao Ying,
“Call me brother.”
“Yes, big brother.”
Xiaoying stuck out her tongue. She was used to shouting and forgetting to change her words.
Yelu Chun saw her sticking out her tongue. He raised his thick eyebrows and shifted his gaze to Su Qing. Although the two wore men’s clothes, they were women and did not have Adam’s apple.
He looked at the men drinking and chose the table next to Su Qing as their neighbor.
Su Qing glanced at him. This person’s aura was too strong and hard to ignore.
Yelu Chun nodded at Su Qing, and Su Qing glanced at him. She heard that the people of Tartan were barbaric, eating human hearts and skinning them alive, often hara.s.sing the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom.
These two people should be spies from the Tartan Kingdom. It seemed these foreigners wanted a share of the internal strife in the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the next few years, people would be plunged into misery.
Soon, the dishes were served. First, a large bowl of beef and two plates of flatbread were served to Yelu Chun’s table. Su Qing and Xiaoying were ignored.
They were the ones who came first. Xiaoying was about to speak when Su Qing raised her hand to stop her. It was best not to cause trouble when they were outside. Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying would lower their heads and eat when their flatbread beef was served.
Su Qing had just picked up a piece of meat when she stopped. When she saw Xiaoying picking up a piece of meat and was about to put it in her mouth, Su Qing stopped her chopsticks.
“What’s wrong?”
Ji Xiaoying looked at Su Qing in confusion.
“There’s something wrong with this meat.”
Su Qing only said a simple sentence. When she wanted to eat meat just now, Xiao Qi anxiously shouted at her,
“Master, that’s human flesh.”
Su Qing had eaten all kinds of meat but not human flesh. This was her bottom line.
She threw the meat back into the basin and coldly looked at the shopkeeper, who was gloating at them behind the counter.
Seeing that Su Qing wasn’t eating meat and still looking at him, the shopkeeper hurriedly took a rag to wipe the counter, pretending he was busy.
“Let’s go!”
Xiaoying was frightened when she heard the human flesh. She looked at Su Qing and whispered.
“Eat some pancakes.”
Su Qing picked up the pancake. The pancake was well-baked, and the oily layers were crispy.
But just as Su Qing was about to eat, she heard Xiao Qi’s sad voice,
“Master, this was branded with human oil.”
Xiaoying didn’t dare to eat it at all. She kept looking at Su Qing’s expression. Seeing that Su Qing’s expression changed after smelling the pancake, Xiaoying was so scared that she hurriedly asked in a low voice,
“Is it also human flesh?”
“Human Oil Pancake/’
Su Qing threw down her chopsticks. How was she going to cat this meal?
The women from the Central Plains were gorgeous. They were fresh and beautiful, and their eyes were watery and sparkling, brighter than the gems on his sword. Beside them, Yelu Chun had been secretly paying attention to Su Qing and Xiaoying.
Seeing Su Qing throw down her chopsticks, he picked up a piece of meat and sniffed it. He frowned.
“Master, the meat isn’t right. The wine was drugged,”
The attendant reported to Yelu Chun in a low voice, and Yelu Chun’s expression turned cold.
He had given them as much money as they wanted. Now that they were scheming against him, they could not blame him for being rude.
“Ladies, you can leave first.”
Yelu Chun didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he stood up and walked to Su Qing’s table. He whispered to them that if they fought, blood would splatter everywhere. The beautiful girls shouldn’t sec such a terrifying scene.
He did not want that innocent and pure girl to see him kill someone.
When Xiaoying h.o.a.rd him call her Miss, she looked at Yelu Chun in surprise. She and her sister had been disguised as men for so long, but no one seemed to recognize them.
“How did you recognize us?”
Xiaoying was curious. She wanted to know how she was recognized..
