Good luck every time

The changes in terrain and rooms also follow certain rules.

Li Ruyi didn't want to miss anyone.

She and Xiaoman shuttled back and forth in the inn, verifying Li Ruyi's guess bit by bit.

Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's completely inaccurate.

However, they don't have much time left.

The few men failed to succeed and soon alarmed the innkeepers.

Their original plan was to capture Li Ruyi and Xiaoman, use them as hostages to threaten Li Er, and bring all the people in the escort agency to the inn and capture them all in one fell swoop.

However, they waited and waited, and even after half an hour of taking the first step, there was still no news.

Soon, the waiter came over. He adjusted the rag on his shoulders and straightened his hat to make himself look more like a real waiter.

Feeling that there was no problem, he walked to the door of Li Ruyi's middle room and knocked on it.

"Girls! Have you two rested? The shopkeeper asked me to ask if you two need hot water to wash."

The gentle knock on the door echoed around, but no one responded.

The waiter leaned over the door and listened, but still heard no sound.

He rolled his eyes and continued knocking on the door.

"girl?"

There was no sound in the room. His knocks on the door became shorter and less polite.

However, it is still so quiet.

His cleverness was soon replaced by confusion.

"Did he go out? I didn't see anyone in front of me..."

"Went to the back?"

"But……"

The waiter muttered a few words in a low voice and knocked on the door again, but still heard no sound.

He looked around and saw no one coming, so he reached out and pushed the door.

He tried hard and found that the door was locked from the inside.

He lifted the hem of his clothes and pulled out the dagger tied to his leg.

The dagger reached into the crack of the door, stuck the bolt, and moved it to the side little by little.

Soon, the door opened.

The room was dark.

The waiter made a sound as thin as a mosquito in the darkness.

"Girl... Is the girl asleep?"

No one answered. He saw in the light of the lantern outside that there seemed to be two people sleeping on the kang.

He raised his eyebrows and wondered if these two people had been knocked down by the smoke?

The room smells a bit messy at the moment.

It was only when the waiter walked to the kang that he realized that there was something wrong with the smell today.

But, it was still a step too late.

He wanted to make a sound to warn others but couldn't, and his body went limp and fell to the ground.

He lay on the ground for a while before Li Ruyi and Xiaoman came back.

The two men heard breathing sounds in the house and knew that they had finally caught someone alive.

Li Ruyi gestured and Xiaoman nodded repeatedly.

The two of them held their breath and climbed back out the rear window.

Li Ruyi looked at the waiter lying on the ground, feeling uneasy. He pulled out the rope from his waist and tied the waiter up tightly in a few strokes.

Xiaoman pulled the rag off Xiaoer's shoulder, rolled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, pressing down on his tongue so that he couldn't spit out the rag, and then blocked his mouth.

After doing all this, the two of them left the room, closed the doors and windows, and ran to find Li Er.

Li Er heard the familiar whistle and hurried over here.

Soon the three of them reunited.

Li Er went to pick up the waiter.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Ruyi stopped him.

"Take the third sister with you. She can help with the interrogation. I'll delay the people staying in the inn here."

Li Ershi was a little worried.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

Li Ruyi moved his wrist, with a serious look on his face.

"As long as you move fast enough I won't be in any danger."

Li Er had no way of guaranteeing whether his actions were fast enough, he only knew that he could not take risks with Li Ruyi's safety.

"No! The third one is not very useful. I'd better ask her to give me some necessary medicines. I will take care of the rest myself."

The third brother's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

Li Ruyi looked at her and then told her the purpose of his action.

"The third brother has never killed anyone..."

There will definitely be a fierce battle if we stay here, even though Xiaoman seemed very calm before.

That was because Li Ruyi acted too quickly and it wasn't too bloody.

But when the fight really comes, the slightest weakness may be seized upon.

These people have no moral standards, and they will never show mercy when it comes to risking their lives!

Xiaoman didn't understand what this matter had to do with whether he had killed anyone or not.

But Li Eryi suddenly remembered something.

There was a hint of worry between his brows, but he still spoke.

"That won't work either. I know you're soft on her, but we don't have much time!"

If Xiaoman was not allowed to grow up along the way, wouldn't things be even more chaotic when they arrived in Quzhou County?

Li Ruyi has always been a rational person, and she behaved like this just because the other person is her sister.

But there is nothing wrong with what Li Er said.

They went to Quzhou County to seek revenge, and they would have to face it sooner or later...

This is what Grandma Ding deserves after giving so much to Xiaoman.

"Time is running out, wait for my news!"

Now is not the time to be entangled. If people in the inn disappear one by one, someone will soon realize that something is wrong.

Li Ruyi looked at Xiaoman and said nothing more.

Xiaoman is not stupid. He reacted immediately and started taking things out of his body.

"This... this, and this... Oh, don't use this unless it's absolutely necessary, it's very expensive!"

Li Er nodded, picked up the waiter and left.

On the other side, Li Ruyi also glanced at Xiaoman.

"Let's go!"

Xiaoman caught up with Li Ruyi and asked.

"Second sister, what are we going to do next?"

"The next step is to delay the time so that those people don't have a chance to react."

Xiaoman looked at the sky.

"How can you delay time in the middle of the night?"

Li Ruyi didn't say anything, but waved for Xiaoman to follow.

The two of them climbed over the wall together, and Li Ruyi leaned over and whispered a few words into Xiaoman's ear.

Xiaoman was a little surprised, but thinking that Li Ruyi had not planned to take her with her at the beginning, it was obvious that she was really prepared, so she remembered those words, nodded and left.

Li Ruyi quickly took off her outer coat, let her hair down, and ran to the front in a panic.

Li Ruyi had acted quickly before, and the waiter had not been out for long, so the shopkeeper was still waiting for news behind the counter.

The oil lamp was swaying. There was a brazier at his feet with peanuts in it. He held an iron skewer and tried bending down to pick up the peanuts a few times.

Just when I was getting a little impatient, I suddenly heard footsteps running towards me from the backyard.

The shopkeeper instantly sat up straight and looked back.

Li Ruyi pushed the door open and rushed in hurriedly. He looked around anxiously and saw the shopkeeper running straight towards him.

"Shopkeeper! Have you seen my sister? Has she come over?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Li Ruyi like this, but when he heard that Xiaoman was missing, all kinds of thoughts circled in his mind and he immediately came up with an idea.

"Don't worry, don't worry. The little girl might have gone out. Have you looked everywhere?"

Li Ruyi nodded hurriedly.

"I looked for it. I even called my people over and asked them to look for it together!"

When the shopkeeper heard what Li Ruyi said, his heart tightened, but he still made a decision in an instant.

Delay time!

With so many people skilled in martial arts acting together, they also have to be careful.

Even if someone really has his life tied to his belt, he doesn't really want to die.

The waiter hasn't come back yet, maybe he encountered something difficult.

Of the two sisters, only one was missing, which meant that his plan had succeeded. The only one left was the one in front of him...

The shopkeeper looked at Li Ruyi across the counter.

It is said that the more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more enchanted you will be. What's more, Li Ruyi's clothes were disheveled at the moment, with her black hair cascading like a waterfall, making her fair face look only the size of a palm, and her eyes were full of a broken and pitiful gleam.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your sister is young and she might have gotten up and gone out at night!"

Li Ruyi shook her head vigorously.

"Impossible, I came from the toilet. My sister has never been there."

The shopkeeper thought to himself, so you were not in the room, no wonder we didn't catch you.

"They might be looking for you. This backyard is so big, and it's the first time for the little girl to come here, and it's late at night, so she might get lost. Don't worry, haven't we sent someone to look for you? We'll have news soon!"

As he spoke, he walked out from behind the counter and stretched out his rough, thick hand to pull Li Ruyi.

But before he touched Li Ruyi's arm, he heard a "clang" sound.

The next moment, a cold touch had already landed on his neck, and the knife was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.

The shopkeeper's lecherous look disappeared instantly and he subconsciously stepped back.

However, this move was obviously unnecessary, as the knife followed his movement steadily without any deviation.

Although Li Ruyi's martial arts are not top-notch, his swordsmanship is first-rate.

Granny Ding has studied the Xiang family sword for her entire life and has an incomparable understanding of the female body structure.

When it comes to teaching apprentices, her female apprentices are better than her male apprentices.

Li Ruyi had suffered enough from being dependent on others and never dared to slack off.

A top-notch master, top-notch martial arts, the adjustment of many medicinal materials, and her hard work, finally made it what it is today.

In this open one-on-one fight, when Li Ruyi took the initiative, even if the shopkeeper was taller and stronger than her, he could not be her opponent.

The shopkeeper's plan to catch Li Ruyi by surprise failed, so he quickly turned the tables and blamed her.

"What do you mean, girl?"

Li Ruyi had a blank expression on her face. The light from the lamp magnified her facial features. She looked more delicate this way than in the daytime.

It’s a pity that the shopkeeper doesn’t have time to appreciate this exquisiteness!

He simply stretched out two fingers, pinched the blade of Li Ruyi's knife, and tried to move the knife away.

"Don't move! My sister is the most obedient one. She won't run around. Is there something wrong with your inn?"

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body was filled with ferocity.

"Girl, you are beautiful but you can't slander me! Our inn is open for business and has a long history of reputation!"

He wanted to push the knife away, but when he used too much force, his face turned ugly.

Li Ruyi's knife was steadier than he had imagined, and his murderous intent was more obvious.

"What credibility? You're the one who caused my sister to disappear. You have to take responsibility!"

The shopkeeper snorted and withdrew his hand.

He was wondering what the people outside were doing, where his people had gone, when they would go to find Li Er, etc.

"I'm responsible... I didn't say I don't care! But since you came here, you haven't said anything about your sister. I can't help you find someone even if I want to!"

His attitude softened instantly.

As soon as he knew that someone was already searching outside, he decisively chose to delay.

He had to remove himself from this.

Li Ruyi looked at his expression and was also thinking.

The shopkeeper knew that Li Ruyi's martial arts skills were better than his, but he was still not worried at all. It was obvious that he was absolutely sure that no matter how many people were in the inn, they would not be able to find Xiaoman.

That is to say, after those people captured the sisters, they would definitely send them out of the inn.

In this way, no news can be heard inside or outside the inn!

The people outside didn't know what was going on inside, and the people inside thought that the people outside had succeeded...

This time difference is the best opportunity for Li Er to interrogate the waiter.

Two people with the same goal reach a consensus at the same time.

Li Ruyi also cooperated with the shopkeeper's act and relaxed a little.

"Okay! But don't put your hands on me!"

The shopkeeper quickly raised his hand.

"Girl, I mean no harm! Besides, I didn't touch you!"

Li Ruyi acted as if he could not refute it. After hearing this, he remained silent for a while and did not dwell on this matter.

"Okay! Let me ask you, how many toilets do you have in your inn?"

The shopkeeper lied without blinking.

"Five rooms... one in each row of houses!"

Li Ruyi was a little surprised.

"Five? But why isn't there one in my row? I have to go far back to find one..."

The shopkeeper put on a show with her.

"Why? Besides, you live in the middle room, and there is a bucket in the room. Why do you need to go out?"

There was an obvious sense of helplessness in Li Ruyi's eyes.

"Impossible, there is nothing in my room..."

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and immediately pushed the responsibility away.

"Oh! This bucket costs two cents to rent. The gentleman who came with you didn't want it, so we didn't send it to you!"

Li Ruyi wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and said nothing.

She just frowned and was so anxious that she was about to cry!

"Where can my sister go then?"

The shopkeeper comforted her perfunctorily.

"She must be in the yard. Maybe you missed her. Didn't you wait for her in the room for a while?"

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"I waited! I didn't wait until she went out, and I looked around but couldn't find her. When I went back, I still didn't see her!"

"I left her a note! But when I went out to look for her, the note was gone and she was gone too!"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and uttered a long "oh".

He thought that it must be the waiter who went there and found that his companions only took one person away, so he took the note and went to find Li Ruyi. As a result, Li Ruyi had already alarmed the escorts of the escort agency. The waiter did not dare to go directly there, fearing that he would be trapped, so he hid.

The shopkeeper imagined the whole process in his mind and then completely relaxed. He felt that except for the fact that Li Ruyi was not captured, which was a bit surprising, everything else was as planned.
