Xiao Jin handed Qu Mo to Mei Xiang who was waiting on the ground before jumping out of the carriage, and then stretched out his hand sideways to help Wen Yelan get down.Daqing drove the carriage to the stable in front and parked it, while Mei Lan had already entered the tea stall and asked for a table, cleaned it up and waited for them.

They randomly ordered some tea and snacks to fill their stomachs, and then sat and listened to the chat of several big men behind them.

"It's not peaceful in Luoyang recently."

"I know about this. I heard from a fellow who was running a business before. It seems that a large number of refugees have poured in there."

"Yeah, this incident has made people panic. Those refugees burned and robbed several flower houses on the other side of Flower Street, but fortunately, the ones they injured were all prostitutes. If they die, they will die."

"Is the government in charge? Has anyone been caught?"

"Hey... don't you know that the people in the government only eat the imperial food and squeeze the people, what? It's a joke, they don't care if they don't burn themselves. The government sent people there the next day after I heard that the gangster committed a crime. The Huajie side suffered heavy losses..."

Listening to what they said, Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yelan who was opposite, and each of them knew each other.

"Master..."

Daqing also heard the conversation at the next table, and looked at Wen Yelan in surprise.

Wen Yelan shook his head at Daqing's insignificance.

After drinking the tea in his hand, Xiao Jin said to them: "It's getting late, let's go to the next town as soon as possible."

"Let's go."

Wen Yelan motioned for Daqing, Mei Xiang and Mei Lan followed, and followed Xiao Jin to the carriage first.

When they got into the carriage, Daqing was also aware of the situation, and without asking any questions, he just whipped the horse and drove the horse away from the tea stand.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Jin raised the curtains and casually glanced at the place where they were sitting just now, only to see the two people who were sitting next to them and talking, looking at them in the distance with deep eyes.Xiao Jin hung down the curtain, looking a little puzzled, he put Qu Mo aside, looked at Wen Yelan and said, "It's hard to tell the truth from what those two people said."

"They're weird." Wen Yelan agreed.

Xiao Jin tapped his hand on his thigh lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although they are strange people, I think we need to send someone to investigate whether there is really a riot in Luoyang."

They are also traveling in modest clothes, and they don't bring many people with them, and there are also children and women.Xiao Jin can fight by himself, but he doesn't know how young master Wen is.Daqing has been doing things with Wen Yelan, he is quite smart, and the things he does are not trivial, so it's not good if you don't have a bit of skill.Then there are Mei Xiang and Mei Lan. These two maids look very ordinary, but will it be ordinary people who can follow Wen Yelan?

Seeing that Wen Yelan didn't seem too worried about being ambushed, Xiao Jin felt relieved.Anyway, he can be considered to have crossed the trend once, and he has died once, and there are still people who want his life all the time. His current life of a beggar came by iron rope.

"I'll send someone to check it out." Wen Yelan doesn't like troublesome people, but he can't bear the fact that someone will take the initiative to send trouble. In this case, he must take the initiative.

Xiao Jin smiled: "The two people just now can stay for a while."

They didn't hide their travels, so people in the capital knew more or less about their departure, but as soon as they left, people with unknown purposes came here, which is not a good sign.Liu Quanyong can't protect himself now, so the person who appears now is for the attention of Young Master Wen...or his?

Wen Yelan glanced at him, but still replied, "Yes."

Xiao Jin wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, so Wen Yelan could only accompany him.

Their carriage arrived at the nearest town at night. The town was not big, with uneven houses, half of which were old and new, and the streets were somewhat potholed.A handful of lanterns were lit on both sides, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the doors of the houses on both sides were tightly closed.

Daqing parked the carriage on the side of the street, jumped out of the carriage and looked around, greeted Wen Yelan and went out to find an inn.Mei Xiang and Mei Lan had already entered the carriage, Xiao Jin lifted the curtain and walked out, stood on the carriage and inspected, waiting for Daqing to come back.

Daqing left for a while and came back soon. He got into the carriage, raised the curtain, and said to everyone: "Young Master, there is an inn not far ahead, why don't we go and have a look?"

Wen Yelan watched as the night was getting darker while Qu Mo was still dozing off, so he nodded and said, "Go."

The inn Daqing found was "Tian Ke Lai", and the name was a bit strange. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Jin kept staring at the name on the plaque for a long time.After Wen Yelan handed Qu Mo to Mei Xiang and carried him in, he walked to Xiao Jin's side, looked up at the plaque on the case beam, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin frowned, and smiled: "No, I just don't like the name." He looked away, looked at Wen Yelan's thin figure, frowned slightly and said, "Late at night, strong wind, Let's go in."

Wen Yelan raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at Xiao Jin, and walked into the inn first, Xiao Jin followed behind him, and the two of them kept a distance of three steps, one in front of the other.

Wen Yelan squinted at the back and pursed her lips.

Xiao Jin followed behind him, turned sideways slightly, caught his glance, lowered his head and covered his lips and smiled silently, but when he was smiling, he thought of his plan to separate himself from Wen Yelan. When thinking about it, the smile on his lips was silently hidden by him.

Although the inn was a bit rough, Xiao Jin and the others were not people who wanted to enjoy themselves, but this night, Qu Mo slept the most peacefully among them.

Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan turned off the lights and fell asleep, but neither of them fell asleep completely.The moonlight moved westward, and the wind outside the building rustled, mixed with the sound of rain that was gradually falling.

The closed windows of the room were slapped violently by the rain, and tiny drops of rain seeped in.

Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan opened their eyes at the same time. Xiao Jin first sat up and rolled up the coat on the chair beside the bed and put it on his body. Without shoes on, he walked to the window barefoot, opened the window with his hand, and gradually went down. Heavy rainwater drifted into the house and sprinkled on Xiao Jin's body, but Xiao Jin just stared at the distance fixedly, standing there motionless.

"The bridge is down."

Xiao Jin turned his head and sensed Wen Yelan who was walking behind him, without turning his head, his expression was serious, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

After Wen Yelan heard this, she walked to him, and her eyes fell to a certain direction in the hazy rain and fog. The faint bridge in the distance had disappeared.Wen Yelan's expression also became very serious, and his brows were almost wrinkled together.

"You say it's God's will...or man-made?" Wen Yelan suddenly smiled coldly, his glasses glaring fiercely.

Xiao Jin took two steps forward, facing the rain, inspected around up and down, and squinted at the corner of a big tree in front of the window and the muddy land under the tree.A bird's nest fell to the ground, not like it was blown down by wind and rain, but more like someone stepped on it.

"God's will, it seems that the lives of the two of us are really worrying." Xiao Jin looked away and smiled faintly.

Wen Yelan also noticed the trampled bird's nest under the window, just smiled faintly, turned around and walked to the door, and said softly: "Why do I think Xiao Jin seems to be quite enjoying it?"

Xiao Jin closed the window, turned around and looked at a patch of water on the ground, then looked up at Wen Yelan's back, and said with a smile, "Young Master Wen, aren't you too?"

Xiao Jinle was among them, so why not Wen Yelan?The corners of Xiao Jin's and Wen Yelan's mouths twitched slightly.Xiao Jin had to say that he and Wen Yelan were indeed quite similar, the kind who could even bet on his own life.

"You're right." Wen Yelan pushed open the door and stepped over the threshold, then looked back at Xiao Jin, looked him up and down, and said with a slight smile, "Do you want to wear wet clothes all the time?"

After Wen Yelan finished speaking, he ignored Xiao Jin, turned around and went downstairs, Xiao Jin lowered his head and pulled his sticky clothes, smiled softly, and quickly followed Wen Yelan.

They went down to the lobby, where the shopkeeper and the waiter were lying on the counter, already asleep in a daze.

Xiao Jin folded his arms and looked back at Wen Yelan, and asked, "Want to wake them up?"

Wen Yelan glared at Xiao Jin, then turned around and turned to the kitchen in the inner room.Xiao Jin shrugged, probably guessing what he was thinking, but he didn't know it himself. With a doting and helpless smile in his eyes, he followed closely behind First Young Master Wen.

There was a clean cauldron in the stove, and a pile of dry firewood beside it, but Wen Yelan stood aside with a sad face, without a single movement.

Xiao Jin watched from the side for a while, then walked up to him with a smile and asked, "Young Master Wen, don't you know how to make fire?"

Wen Yelan's body stiffened for a moment, he licked his lips, and replied stiffly: "Who said I can't?"

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, stood aside with folded arms and calmly looked at Wen Yelan who was still frozen on the side.

Wen Yelan glared at him fiercely, rolled up his sleeves, exposing smooth white arms, walked to the stove, looked left at the cauldron, right at the firewood next to him, collected himself for a few seconds, and then ran to the stove. While going to get some firewood, I squatted in front of the stove and started studying with flint.

After going back and forth several times, First Young Master Wen still didn't light the fire.The water hadn't boiled yet, and Young Master Wen's face was black on the left and black on the right, looking very funny.

Looking from Xiao Jin's direction, the young master Wen, who was soaked in rain, his clothes were slightly attached to his body, and his slender figure was fully outlined, was completely exposed in front of Xiao Jin's eyes.
