Chapter 305 She's already asleep?
But don't most county towns have curfews?
Hearing the commotion outside, the men in the carriage all got off.
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air on both sides of the street, making it seem nothing like nighttime.
I didn't expect there to be a night market here. Is it because no one is managing it?
Wu Ziyan looked around, fearing that assassins might be lying in ambush in the middle of the bustling city.
But as they walked, they didn't seem to sense any danger.
Then a person walked towards them. The person looked tall and thin, with a deadpan expression.
"Are you all new to Weian? Would you like to stay at a hotel?"
In such a lively atmosphere, the sudden appearance of such a sinister face is bound to arouse suspicion.
As they looked around, they discovered that those emerging from the dark alleys were all men in black carrying curved knives.
Those men in black were simply dressed in black; they were not masked and did not care if others knew their identities.
They didn't seem to find anything strange about it, as if it were just a routine patrol by these guards.
There were at least twenty people facing them, and their group consisted of only about twenty people.
You could say that you have to stay whether you want to or not.
The deadpan-faced man asked again, "Would you gentlemen like to stay at an inn?"
It feels a bit like a forced sale, so what can we do?
Qi Zeyun and He Wuzi nodded: "Please lead the way, as we are new to Weian and not familiar with the area."
Judging from the looks of it, this must be a subordinate arranged by that Immortal Lord Lü.
They followed the dead-faced man to the end of the bustling city.
There stood a luxurious restaurant, which seemed to have been booked out specifically for them today.
There wasn't a single diner drinking there.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Yu. You can call me Yu Xianshi."
"It's too much of an honor for us to have Yu Xian stay in such a luxurious restaurant."
"This was all arranged by the Immortal Lord, but we have neglected our distinguished guests."
"You have prepared fine wine and delicacies. After you have rested well tonight, I will take you to pay your respects to the Immortal Lord tomorrow."
What a shameless thing to do! Knowing full well who they are, she still insists that they pay their respects to her.
But now that we're on their turf, we have to be careful with our words and actions.
The group walked inside, cautiously looking around. Apart from the waiters, there were no other staff members inside.
There wasn't a single outsider present. It was so strange; they wouldn't dare eat the food served tonight.
But Wu Ziyan won't die; at worst, she can just let them test the poison on her own.
After putting away their luggage and checking into their rooms, everyone gathered in the lobby.
It was obvious that something was fishy, but they still sat down there without a care in the world.
"Here it is! This is our signature dish at Zuixianlou: whole roasted lamb. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and it's juicy and delicious."
"Give me another plate of this melon, and I guarantee it'll feel like heaven."
"This is our local dish, Hibiscus Duck. Don't underestimate this Hibiscus Duck; it's made with thirty-two kinds of precious Chinese herbs."
"This is ink-wash fragrant cod, this is dark clouds supporting the moon, this is sparse shadows of jade, this is jade dragon whiskers..."
Wow, the ancients were really cultured! They made all sorts of dishes like seaweed and egg soup, stir-fried greens, and stir-fried bean sprouts.
They all have such nice-sounding names, and the whole table is overflowing with nearly twenty dishes.
"Immortal servant Yu, you've gone to so much trouble."
"It is our honor to entertain you distinguished guests. Please enjoy your meal."
After she finished speaking, all the people who had been serving the dishes left the hall, and Yu Xianshi went into the kitchen by herself.
They weren't being given a chance to test the poison. Seeing that no one was around, of course they had to take out their silver needles and prick each one of them.
But Wu Ziyan knew that the silver needle could only detect substances like arsenic and arsenic trioxide.
The best course of action is to have everyone take the antidote pills first.
There was no poison in the food at all; the purpose was simply to create a sense of panic among them.
Everyone ate this meal with trepidation, but the taste was indeed quite good.
Afterwards, finding no unusual reaction, I felt relieved and went upstairs.
There were enough rooms; each person could have their own room, but in the end, several people ended up crammed into one room.
Who would dare sleep tonight? What if they betray us from behind? There are so many of us!
Even if one of them is highly skilled in martial arts, it would be beyond their ability to protect their other subordinates.
This is the distance between those with high martial arts skills, in the room of several people who need protection.
Why don't you all go back to your own rooms to sleep? It's so crowded I don't even know what to do.
"Because all three of us are worried about our employer."
"Oh, I'm wherever you are, young master."
"You two should get some rest. You can leave Chu Qiu here alone."
"Don't worry, that Yu Xianshi can't cause much trouble. Tonight will definitely be a peaceful night."
"But we're still worried."
This means that no matter how hard you try to drive them away, you can't get rid of them.
But since they're always in one room, the people below have no choice but to criticize them, even if they don't want to.
"It's not good for your reputation. There are outsiders in this group, and who knows what they might say about you behind your back."
"To be honest, our reputations have been ruined the moment we got together with that lady, haven't they?"
Changsun Boyu remained nonchalant, sitting at the table with his legs crossed.
He even casually poured himself a cup of tea.
This... I really don't know what people outside are saying about her, that she always has three or four men in one room with her.
Even while on business, he couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. He sighed and said, "Then you can do whatever you want, I'm going to sleep."
He flung his shoes to the ground twice, launched himself onto the bed with a bouncy motion, wrapped himself in the blanket, and did it all in one smooth motion.
Then she slowly took off her outer clothes inside the blanket.
After all, it was a little embarrassing to be in front of these men.
He crumpled his coat into a ball and placed it beside his pillow, then turned to them expressionlessly.
"You don't have to sleep, but you have to turn off the lights."
The clever little Yue'er, upon hearing his words, quickly blew out all the candles in the room.
However, even though the outside was brightly lit, there was still some light inside the house.
At least you can make out the other person's blurry outline.
Unexpectedly, Wu Ziyan really gave up and went to sleep without a second thought.
She could roughly guess that the legendary Immortal Lord Lü was trying to wage psychological warfare against them.
The goal is to keep them constantly on edge, making them feel like someone is trying to harm them at any moment.
She wasn't going to fall for that; she just wanted to eat well, drink well, and sleep well.
Tomorrow I'll go see what the legendary Immortal Lord Lü looks like.
After a while, I don't know if she was too tired or what, but a very faint snoring sound came from her.
The four men looked at each other, and she fell asleep!
She was definitely asleep; you could still hear her smacking her lips every now and then.
It was late at night, and the hawking outside had subsided somewhat, but the lights were still on.
One was leaning against the headboard, one against the footboard, and one against the table.
Yue'er went to lie down on the small couch in the room.
