A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 86 A Dangerous Night in Chaoyun City

Li Yunye, Mu Liang and others quietly moved into a run-down inn and thought they could spend the night safely, but they didn't know that danger was approaching them from another place.

It turns out that the owner of this shabby shop is running an inn, but secretly doing the flesh trade. He waits for customers in the shabby inn during the day, and wanders around Chaoyun City at night, secretly looking for targets and cooperating with his accomplices in the dark. He deliberately opened a cheap inn to attract poor people. Selecting good-looking young men and women from the poor to sell can save more trouble. After all, the disappearance of the poor rarely attracts the attention of the government.

But Chaoyun City is known as the City of Weapons after all, and most ordinary poor people avoid it, so this shabby shop has not been open for several months. Unexpectedly, five people came today, and one of them was able to sell high-quality goods at a good price.

After An Yun cleaned the room, the innkeeper suddenly offered to prepare meals for the guests, but the cautious Mu Liang declined. The innkeeper did not force him and only sent him two pots of hot tea.

"I put a knockout drug in the tea. It should have all fainted by now." In the deserted night, on the first floor of a shabby shop, a fat owner was whispering and plotting with two masked men in black.

"They have a lot of people. Just in case, we need to put some smoke screens to be on the safe side."

A man in black said this and took out something from his pocket and went to the second floor, followed by the other two.

In the guest room, the candle was still burning and the light was flickering. Li Yunye, Mu Liang and An Yun were all lying unconscious on the table. There were three teacups in front of them. It seemed that they all drank the tea in the pot.

Not long after, a thin bamboo tube was suddenly inserted from outside the door, and smoke was released into the room along the tube. The three people who were squatting outside stealthily waited for almost half an incense stick of time before opening the door.

"This one looks okay but is a little older, so he might be hard to train. This kid is a little worse, but has the advantage of being still young. As for this one..." The leading man in black began to estimate the price of the three people lying on the table as soon as he entered the room. When he saw the fair and handsome Li Yunye, his eyes lit up. This guy will definitely be able to sell for a high price.

"Brother, this pretty boy doesn't look like he was born in a poor family..."

The other man in black also noticed Li Yunye's face. When he walked forward and was about to touch it, a dart suddenly hit him and accurately hit the back of his hand.

Following a scream, the three men vigilantly drew their knives and retreated to the door of the room. With a "pop", another black shadow broke through the window.

"You...who are you? How dare you break into my inn and disturb my guests..." The fat innkeeper asked the masked man in black under the window guiltily.

The masked man in black under the window did not respond. He just snorted coldly and drew out the sword in his hand. With a flash of cold light, the three people at the door were so scared that they retreated out of the room.

"I don't care about your business, but you'd better not think about my people, otherwise..."

"Hey, bitch, you'd better not ruin our business..." Hearing the voice and knowing that the other party was a woman, the three originally nervous people outside the door chuckled disapprovingly. The man in black who was stabbed by the dart just now warned fiercely, but before he could finish, the cold sword lit up, his throat was cut, and blood spurted out.

"Lady, please spare me, lady, please spare me!" Before the other two could see the other party's attack, their accomplice was stabbed in the throat by a sword. They were so scared that their knees became weak and they dropped the knives in their hands and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Get out." The cold voice sounded again, and the two men kneeling on the ground hurriedly pulled their dead accomplices and ran downstairs.

"you come back."

But after taking only two steps, the cold voice in the house rang out again. The fat boss had a premonition that someone was calling him, so he obediently returned to the door.

"Let's pretend nothing happened tonight. When they wake up tomorrow, we will take good care of them and send them out of the city safely." The man in black in the room said as he threw a silver ingot to the innkeeper.

"Please rest assured, lady. They are my distinguished guests and I dare not neglect them in the slightest!" The innkeeper took the silver and replied cautiously.

The man in black in the room didn't say anything else, but just sneered, turned around, helped Li Yunye, who was lying on the table, up and walked towards the bed. Seeing this, the innkeeper tactfully closed the door.

After covering Li Yunye who was lying on the bed with a quilt, the woman in black didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. She just sat quietly beside the bed and looked at Li Yunye who was sleeping soundly. Her eyes, which were originally as cold as a knife, gradually showed a gentle smile.

"Son!"

An Yun was the first to wake up the next day. Looking at the sky which had already brightened, he felt vaguely uneasy. People who practiced martial arts usually wake up early, but today he woke up so late. After becoming alert, he hurriedly called out "Young Master". He was relieved when he found Young Master still sleeping soundly on the bed. He thought that Young Master must have slept so deeply because he was too tired after driving in the carriage for two days.

An Yun collected his thoughts again and saw that Master Mu Liang, who was sleeping at the table in front of him and shivering from the cold, hurriedly got up and put a piece of clothing on him, then walked out of the room.

"Hey, sir, good morning. The hot water is ready. Would you like some?" As An Yun had just gone downstairs, the innkeeper suddenly came up to him enthusiastically and asked with a smile.

"No, I'll go feed the horses first." An Yun shook his head calmly.

"I just fed the horses and they are full." But as soon as An Yun finished speaking, the innkeeper continued to laugh.

An Yun didn't say anything else and turned around to go back to his room. Compared to his perfunctory attitude yesterday, the boss's sudden enthusiasm made An Yun alert.

"Is breakfast ready?" But when An Yun walked up the stairs, the innkeeper asked again with a smile.

"No, we have our own dry food, thank you."

An Yun rushed back to the room and was worried when he saw that Li Yunye and Mu Liang had not woken up yet. He checked the room inside and out but found nothing suspicious.

The innkeeper was relieved when he secretly saw An Yun's actions. Fortunately, he was careful last night and cleaned the scene. He also repaired the broken window overnight.

Half an hour later, Li Yunye and Mu Liang woke up one after another. An Yun was relieved to see that the two young masters were safe and sound. After breakfast, the five of them continued on their journey. The innkeeper continued to enthusiastically ask them to take him out of the city, but was still declined by Mu Liang.

"Gentlemen, do you feel that the innkeeper today is different from yesterday?" After leaving the shabby inn, An Yun expressed his doubts to the two gentlemen.

"Well, he has become extra enthusiastic. Maybe this boss is slow to warm up. His attitude has changed after getting to know us today." Li Yunye yawned sleepily. He felt sleepy again not long after waking up. His body has always been pampered, and the residue of the drug in his body has not yet completely dissipated.

"Well, that's possible." Although Mu Liang was better than Li Yunye, he was also listless and without energy due to a night of cold.

Seeing the two young masters say this, An Yun didn't say anything more.

"Miss, you saved them last night, why didn't you let Master Li know?" Looking at the two carriages driving out of Chaoyun City, Hongnu on the high building asked Xuanyu beside him in confusion.

"What if you know? What if you don't know?" Xuanyu's cold eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the carriage that was gradually going away with a complicated expression.
