Chapter 39: Retreat

The sky to the east just spit out the color of fish belly. The bell of the fifth watch rang accordingly. The heavy palace door opened slowly in response. The ministers who had been waiting outside the door to enter the palace for the early dynasty filed in.
A little attention will reveal that the atmosphere today is particularly dull. Just because today is the seventh day of the emperor’s poisoning. The ministers' faces were obviously more worried than usual. All of them were downcast and walked inside listlessly. Until the guard at the gate reminded them loudly:
"Masters, please go slowly! The emperor has a purpose, first send His Royal Highness Beiyan and his party out of the palace!"
The ministers were suddenly shocked, but they still haven't reacted from the phrase "the emperor has an order". A magnificent carriage oncoming has rushed towards the gate of their palace. The ministers who were still standing in the middle of the road immediately awakened, and reflexively dodged on both sides.
"I'm not dazzled? Is that the emperor's sorrow?"
"Did I hear the emperor's decree?"
It wasn't until the carriage came out of everyone's sight that there were all kinds of guessing exclamations!
"My lords! It's early time. The emperor is already waiting for you in the hall" Waiting reminded again.
"what did you say?"
"The emperor is detoxified?"
"The emperor is in the hall?"
"The emperor can go to court?"
The impatient ministers immediately asked you a word. The guard did not dare to offend any of them, so he nodded desperately. It should be...
-----------------------
After exiting the imperial palace, the carriage followed the spacious imperial city avenue, and entered the outer city through the Qingjiang Bridge where the imperial city intersects the outer city. It drove until it stopped before the most upscale and luxurious hotel in Beijing. A guard. The dressed coachman jumped out of the car neatly and skillfully took off the pedals and placed them in front of the car door. Pulling the car door, he respectfully yelled into the car:
"His Royal Highness! The Peace Inn is here."
"Got it." Beitang responded, and the first one jumped down. You turned around to see the guard reaching out to support Xiao Bingling behind him. Without thinking about it, he raised his arm to block him. Reaching out, he hugged Bingling from the car and put it on the ground, then reached out to help Princess Frost Snow who also covered her face with a veil.
"Wow! I finally completed the task successfully and retreated all over." Bingling immediately raised his arms and stretched his stiff body as soon as he touched the ground. Although the emperor’s carriage was luxurious and magnificent, the seat originally designed for one person would naturally look a bit crowded for five people.
"Yeah! Even I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." The Sword Demon carried Xue Fei's baggage and jumped out of the carriage one last time, and said with emotion.
Beitang rewarded the coachman with some gold and sent him back. I don't know whether it was the rumbling of the carriage that awakened the owner of the inn, or whether he had started the shop at the clock. In short, as soon as the carriage left, the door of the inn opened.
The one who opened the door was the inn shopkeeper, a thin man in his fifties, with a typical businessman face. When the door opened, he was suddenly startled to see a few people standing at the door. Then he came out with a smile on his face. Said in the warm tone of a businessman:
"Yo! A few distinguished guests are back! The companions of the young masters have been waiting for you for several days."
companion? Do they have any other companions? The sword demon master and disciple looked at each other. Then the four dangerous cold lights shot at the shopkeeper at the same time.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper shuddered unconsciously. Fortunately, he was very knowledgeable and exquisite. When he noticed the strangeness, he quickly explained:
"On the day after the few left, three more young men who were similar to the others came to the store. They asked about the whereabouts of the few when they came. Seeing that they seemed very anxious and didn't look malicious. They are really your friends, so I told them truthfully that some of them did settle in the store. They are now living in the rooms next to a few of them. If a few find it inconvenient, the small ones can be replaced in the backyard. A room is open."
"How are you sure they are looking for us? Not someone else?" Beitang Jifeng asked coldly.
The shopkeeper's gaze naturally fell on Xiao Bingling, and then smiled confidently and replied:
"Hehe, dissatisfied with the son, the old man has been in the inn business for decades. There are countless guests who have been sent and sent, but as long as they have been seen by the old man, there is no time to forget. Not to mention, there is one of you A kid with a veil. Isn't that easier to recognize?"
After listening to the shopkeeper, Bing Ling and the Sword Demon Master looked at each other. Who would come to look for the three of them? And the people here seem to know that Bingling is with them?
And the maid Xiaoyun, who was holding Princess Frost and Snow, couldn't help but smile:
"Hehe, you never forget. Can this be called a muddy eye?"
The shopkeeper nodded gratefully to the girl who helped him out! Goodbye to the elegant and noble woman in the veil she was holding, and her white veil flew in the morning breeze. The slender body seemed to be drifting away with the wind at any time, as flowing as a fairy. People can't help but want to reach out and keep her.
Uh! What is he thinking? The shopkeeper patted his head sharply. Finally, he remembered that he was blocking the door. He quickly stepped aside and bowed to lead the way:
"A few of you please go inside first!"
"The shopkeeper will do as you said, first arrange three additional rooms for us in the backyard. Also, don't tell us about our return first." If it was a sword demon before, he would live back to the original room without hesitation. But now there are three weak women who need his protection. He has to put safety first.
"Yes, yes, please come with me, some of you." The shopkeeper nodded and said yes for fear that they would regret it. I saw their expressions just now. He really squeezed a cold sweat in his heart. He was originally a kind helper, so he left a few more guests by the way. But if these two people are enemies, if they fight in his shop, his loss will be nothing. It's not that simple anymore. So he is now more worried than the Sword Demon and the others about meeting these two people here.
"Binger!"
But just when the shopkeeper thought it would be all right to separate them, an excited and magnetic baritone suddenly came from the corridor on the second floor of the lobby. The calm of this room was immediately disrupted.
Bing Lingyou was stunned, then suddenly turned his head, the white shadow in front of him flickered. She has fallen into that familiar and spacious embrace.
"Let her go, what do you want to do?" Beitang roared at the same time, waved his palm at lightning speed and slashed towards the people.
It's just that his palm didn't even touch the corner of the visitor's clothes, but Bingling was already held by others and flew up to the second floor. He was about to catch up with his energy, but was stopped by the sword demon watching.
"Feng'er, don't chase. Bing'er will be fine."
"Master..." Beitang jumped and called.
But he didn't say the sad words and he took it back automatically. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is only because of the crisp and excited voice of Bing Ling from the upper floor:
"Master! Why are you here?"
Bingling's excited voice made Beitang very upset. When he raised his head in response, he immediately frowned, because Bingling happily pecked the man who had robbed her with his small mouth, just like a foraging chicken seeing the food. Although separated by the veil, how long has he seen the cold and indifferent Bing'er have such excitement!
Just when Beitang was about to have a seizure, another refreshing and excited child voice came upstairs.
"Binger! Is it really you? It's so nice that you are fine! Do you know that Master and I are about to turn the capital over these days."
This childlike voice came from Dongfang Mingxu, the little prince of Eastern Qi. Don't forget it, the person who took Xiao Bingling away was naturally the genius doctor Shangguan Yunjing.
"Dongfang Mingxu? Why are you here too? Dongfang Thirteen are also here! The shopkeeper said you are the one who waited for us here for a few days!" Bing Ling enlightened.
