Chapter 971 Ten Thousand Cities (2)
The carriage stopped in front of an inn. The old man got off the carriage first and said to the two people in the carriage: "We're here, come down quickly."
Gu Panxia asked Zhi'er to get out first, and then she slowly got out of the carriage.
As soon as the three people got off the carriage, a man came over and took the carriage away.
I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper walking over with a smile. The man was not tall and had a stout body. He had a smile on his face and looked very happy.
"Jiu Lao, you are finally here. The two upper rooms have been prepared for you. Please take a look. Is there anything else you need?"
The old man smiled heartily, put his hand on the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I feel most at ease when shopkeeper Liu does things!"
When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he still smiled and said: "Jiu Lao is joking, how can there be no reason not to complete the things you told me well?"
After that, shopkeeper Liu continued: "I also ordered someone to prepare the apricot blossom white that Mr. Jiu likes to drink the most, and the dishes are almost ready. Take a look, should you go back to your room to rest for a while, or have a meal first?" ?”
Jiu Lao glanced at Gu Panxia and Zhi'er, and seeing that they looked pretty good, he said, "Let's eat first. It's the same thing to rest after eating."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Liu led the three of them to their seats, asked someone to bring them tea, and then turned back to the counter.
Gu Panxia picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then asked aloud: "Senior, you haven't seen anyone in the past two days. Could it be that you came to Wancheng?"
Jiu Lao smiled and nodded, "That's right. I'm here to buy a carriage and book an inn where I want to rest."
After Gu Panxia heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but took small sips of the tea.
Dinner was served quickly, and of course, as long as there was wine, wine was indispensable.
Jiu Lao poured himself a cup of apricot blossom white. After taking a sip, he said to Gu Panxia, "Although this apricot blossom white is not as delicious as the one I brewed myself, the taste is just right. It's better than any other restaurant in this city." The wineries are much better.”
Although Gu Panxia didn't taste it, he knew from the smell that the wine was definitely not bad, at least the taste was not bad.
Gu Panxia and Zhier ate rice, while Jiu Lao drank apricot blossom white. The dinner ended quickly.
Gu Panxia asked shopkeeper Liu to prepare bath water. Because Zhi'er was there, she couldn't enter the space at will, so she could only clean up outside.
Strangely enough, the space that she had been unable to enter in Wuyuan Cliff had returned to normal after she woke up, which made her very depressed.
Because there was a shrewd old guy named Jiu Lao, she was afraid of arousing his suspicion. She usually did not dare to enter the space at will. She only dared to enter when he was not around.
The night had deepened, but the lights outside the window had not been extinguished. Gu Panxia was lying on the couch, staring out the window. The sound of Zhi'er's thin breathing came to her ears, and the room was very quiet.
She suddenly thought of Lu Yuan who was far away in the inner realm. He had not been back for such a long time. He must be worried, right? I don’t know how people are doing!
She sighed softly and closed her eyes slightly, but she couldn't fall asleep.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs, and she frowned slightly.
Looking sideways, she saw that Zhi'er was still sleeping, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, put on her clothes, and then slowly walked downstairs.
As soon as she came downstairs, she saw several big men sitting in the lobby. They were all dressed in uniform black clothes. There were several big knives on the table in front of them, which was somewhat similar to the attire of a head catcher.
