Chapter 53 Weird

The next day, when Zhao Yu woke up, it was already bright outside.

I don't know why, Zhao Yu feels that his head is dizzy, probably because he hasn't had a good rest on the ship in the past few days...

After getting up, just as Zhao Yu was about to get dressed, there was a knock on the door outside.

Boom, boom, boom!

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly, and he knew without guessing that Jiang Yuyan must have come to help him wash up again.

This girl didn't know what she was thinking, but she insisted on being his maid.

If it were another girl, Zhao Yu would naturally not refuse anyone.

But Jiang Yuyan is different. Although they have been together for such a long time, the shadow engraved in his bones is difficult to dissipate in a short time.

Squeak...

Zhao Yu opened the door to the room, but his expression was slightly startled.

To his surprise, the person standing outside the door was not Jiang Yuyan, but the waiter of the inn.

"Sir, I will bring you some hot water to make noodles. Also, lunch is ready..."

The waiter enthusiastically walked into the room carrying a bucket of hot water, scooped out the hot water with a wooden spoon, put it into the copper basin next to the door, then soaked a clean face towel and placed it beside the copper basin.

It is indeed the most expensive inn in Suzhou. Even the waiter is meticulous in everything he does.

"Okay, this is your reward!"

When Zhao Yu saw that the young man had arranged everything for washing, he was not stingy. He took out two taels of silver from his pocket and threw it to the young man, indicating that he could go out.

The boy took the reward and walked out of Zhao Yu's room with great gratitude.

The moment this seemingly ordinary boy closed the door, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"It shouldn't be..."

The boy looked at the broken silver in his hand and frowned slightly.

At this time, at the corner of the guest building, Lu Jianxing and three others came over. The waiter immediately calmed down his expression, nodded and bowed to say hello to the three of them, and then turned around and went downstairs.

After a while, Zhao Yu, who was neatly dressed, came to the front hall of the inn. His warriors and soldiers had been waiting outside the inn for a long time.

"Where are Erha and Miss Jiang?"

Zhao Yu came to the front hall. He thought Erha and Jiang Yuyan had already gotten up, but he didn't want to come to the front hall, but he didn't see them.

"I guess I overslept a little from the long journey these past few days. I'll go take a look..."

After Shen Lian said that, he turned around and walked towards the guest building again.

After burning incense for a while, Erha and Jiang Yuyan came to the front hall with a somewhat depressed expression.

Although he had slept for a full night, Erha was still chattering endlessly at this moment. Even Jiang Yuyan beside him looked like he had not woken up.

"What's wrong? Didn't you get a good rest?"

Zhao Yu stared at Jiang Yuyan and frowned slightly.

I don't know why, but he seemed to notice something unusual.

"I think I'm not feeling well on the boat these days, so it's okay..."

Seeing Zhao Yu frowning, Jiang Yuyan quickly explained.

After several people finished their lunch, they immediately rushed towards Anqing.

However, along the way, Zhao Yu always felt uneasy, as if he had missed some details.

Thinking back carefully, Zhao Yu gradually discovered the problem.

"Lu Jianxing!"

Thinking of the key point, Zhao Yu turned around and asked Lu Jianxing: "When you get up in the morning, will a servant come to deliver hot water to cleanse the noodles?"

Lu Jianxing was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Jin Xiaochuan and Shen Lian, and the three of them shook their heads at the same time.

"now it's right!!"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes suddenly.

They all stayed in high-end rooms of the same grade, but only in his room, a servant came to bring hot water when he woke up in the morning.

Moreover, the time when the boy came was a little too accurate, right?

As soon as he opened his eyes, the boy arrived, as if that guy had been waiting outside the door!

Also, Jiang Yuyan was not so tired when she was on the boat. Instead, she checked into an inn and woke up late...

"Lu Jianxing, please call a trustworthy warrior to return to Penglai Inn to check and find out the details of the boy who brought me water this morning!"

"Follow the order!"

Lu Jianxing immediately agreed, turned around, summoned a strongman, and gave some instructions.

The strongman immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Suzhou City.

Zhao Yu and his party continued to move forward, and after walking no more than fifty miles, they stopped at a tea house next to the official road.

Time passed little by little, and the other warriors and warriors were a little puzzled. Why did the governor stop after walking more than fifty miles?

Half an hour later, a horse riding Juechen came.

After the warrior dismounted, he walked quickly to Zhao Yu, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the envoy, there is indeed something wrong with that boy!"

"speak!!"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, his guess was right!

"According to the shopkeeper of Penglai Inn, the boy just arrived at Penglai Inn yesterday. When his subordinates asked the shopkeeper to look for the boy, he had already disappeared!"

The powerful man lowered his head and reported all the information he had discovered to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's face was expressionless, but Lu Jianxing and others were shocked.

Unexpectedly, even though they were so cautious, someone could still approach Zhao Yu quietly.

Contrary to what they thought, Zhao Yu's heart was now full of question marks.

That man pretended to be a servant and approached me. What was he doing?

Kill him?

Then he should have taken action at that time. After all, when he brought hot water, there were only two of them in the guest room, which was the best time to take action.

"Set off!"

Zhao Yu was puzzled and decided to go to Anqing immediately.

Along the way, it seems that some things have gradually escaped his control!

Everyone got on their horses and galloped all the way towards Anqing.

Finally, at noon the next day, Zhao Yu and his party finally arrived at Anqing Mansion.

When we were still fifteen miles away from the city, we saw a group of old men in official uniforms standing respectfully by the official road in the distance.

"Shen Anliang, the prefect of Anqing, welcomes you!"

The leader, wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, bowed to Zhao Yuna.

"Saint Gong's greeting..."

Zhao Yugao was sitting on horseback, but he just cupped his fists and raised his hands.

When the Jinyi Guards go on patrol, regardless of whether there is an imperial edict or not, they are imperial envoys granted by the emperor. Wherever they go, government officials must go out fifteen miles from the city to greet them.

Under the leadership of Shen Anliang, the prefect of Anqing, Zhao Yu and others went straight to the Yamen of Anqing Prefecture.

When he came to the yamen gate, Zhao Yu raised his legs and was about to dismount. A strong man had already come forward and helped Zhao Yu to dismount.

"Master Zhenfu, please slow down..." Lux smiled flatteringly and helped Zhao Yu off the horse.

Um?

Looking at the discerning warrior in front of him, Zhao Yu was slightly stunned.

If Zhao Yu remembered correctly, the strong man who stepped forward to help him was the one who was sent by Lu Jianxing to Penglai Inn to inquire about the servant's details!

"Well, not bad, quite discerning. What's your name?"

Zhao Yu pretended to be very optimistic about him and asked with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Yu ask about his name, the powerful man was flattered and replied: "Reporting to the envoy of Zhenfu, my humble name is Ji Feng..."

The first step to getting promoted and making a fortune is for the Shangguan to remember his own name.
