Chapter 807 Night Raid on the Inn

In the past few days, Li Hu had spent more than 8,000 silver taels while shopping in the market and paying for the store. Fortunately, he had brought enough silver notes, and the jewelry he had previously collected from Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cixiang were also quite valuable. A lot of money has been paid, so it can still be sustained.

After staying in the inn, Zhu Huichan quickly became acquainted with the shopkeeper and waiter. The waiter, who was lean but very clever in dealing with things and talking, was named Hou Xiaochuan. Zhu Huichan called him "Hou Xiaochuan". "Monkey", and the shopkeeper Duan Wu, with his loud voice and fierce voice, was nicknamed "Duan Manzi" by the little princess.

Although Duan Wu may seem arrogant, he is actually a person with an upright and down-to-earth personality. As long as the rent is paid in full on time, he is not difficult to get along with.

During the day, she went shopping in the streets of Human City, and at night when she returned to the inn, she could still be bossy and order the monkey barbarians to do this and that. Zhu Huichan had a very happy life, which was much better than being a princess in the palace. .

If he had stayed longer, with the speed at which Zhu Huichan was purchasing goods, the entire Deyuan Inn would probably not have enough space to store them. However, Princess Chitose never thought about what to do with these things when she returned to the capital in the future.

On the night of the third day, after the second watch, Li Hu and the three of them wandered the streets all day, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to sleep early.

In the front hall, Hou Xiaochuan was tidying up the tables, chairs and benches, while Duan Wu was sitting behind the counter and meeting the tent. Seeing that it was too late, he wanted to close the door and put the board up, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and there was a large group of people. People walked in.

In Human City, everyone knows that Deyuan Inn is ridiculously expensive and very few guests come to the hotel. It is quite rare that so many people came tonight.

There were more than twenty people in this group, all dressed in Uighur attire. Although they did not carry weapons, they were all quite strong. Two of them were carrying a large baggage in their hands, and they didn't know what it contained. It looks a bit like a passing merchant.[

Hou Xiaochuan hurriedly greeted us and said, "Thank you for your hard work, guests! I don't know if you want to stay in a hotel or have a meal? It's not a coincidence that the hotel is open tonight. All the rooms are rented out."

"No room? Then let's have a meal and set three tables of high-quality banquets for us!" the leader of the Hu people said in blunt Chinese.

"Okay~! My guests, please sit down at the table first. I will go and order the kitchen to prepare the dishes." Hou Xiaochuan promised.

The waiter left, and the leader of the Hu people walked to the table and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Hey! Those dining group, please take a look at the price of our restaurant first. A table of fine banquets costs three hundred taels. Don't wait. When you get to the account, you don’t have any money, why bother talking to me again!”

The shout was like the sound of a gong, and it was exactly what the shopkeeper Duan Wu was calling. He treated his customers as viciously as ever. He first asked them to check the price. It would be surprising for a timid person to faint when he heard this roar. .

The barbarian leader also trembled with fright, but quickly calmed down and shouted: "Three hundred taels is three hundred taels. We are in big business. Do you think I can't afford it? Brothers, please sit down." !”

In the past, nine out of ten customers who came to the store would run away when they heard the price, but these barbarians didn't seem to care. Could it be that the God of Wealth has followed his orders these days, and all the people who come here are rich men?

The customers had no objections to the price, so Duan Wu ignored them and sat behind the counter to continue calculating.

More than twenty Hu people sat down one after another. Not long after, the waiter brought the food and wine, and a large group of people gathered around the table to eat and drink.

Most of the people who travel all year round will make loud noises and have fun when drinking and eating, but this group of barbarians eat very quietly, just immersed in eating and drinking, and there are very few people talking.

It didn't take long for the three tables of food and wine to be eaten. The leader of the barbarian slapped the table and shouted: "Shopkeeper, pay the bill!"

Duan Wu walked out from behind the counter, came closer, and said: "Three banquet tables, a total of nine hundred taels of silver, please pay!"

The Hu leader reached into his arms, as if he wanted to take out the money to pay the bill. However, at this moment, the four Hu men on the side suddenly pounced on Duan Wu's hands and feet, and the leader took out Duan Wu's hands and feet. It's not a banknote, but a shining short knife!

Duan Wu saw that something was wrong and shouted: "What are you doing!" As he struggled hard, he heard a "bang" and the Hu man holding his right arm was thrown out and fell on the wine table, which was immediately smashed. The dishes were broken and the soup was splashed everywhere!

These barbarians were all very strong. Duan Wu raised his hand and threw a big man weighing about 200 kilograms out. The strength of his hand was really not small.[

With his right hand free, he raised his fist and struck the person holding his right leg. The man's back was hit by a fist like an oil hammer, and he let out a painful cry of "Ouch" and immediately fell to the ground.

However, at this moment, there was a "crack" sound, white light passed across, and a thick iron chain rolled up, trapping Duan Wu in it. It turned out that in the big baggage brought by the barbarians, It was this iron chain that was installed. Now the two ends of the chain were grabbed by five or six strong men, and they pulled with all their strength. Duan Wu was immediately entangled in it, making him unable to move.

At this time, the blade of the short knife was placed on Duan Wu's neck, and the barbarian leader shouted: "Don't move! Just stay with me. I will let you go when the masters are done, otherwise you will lose your life." Don’t blame me!”

As expected, Duan Wu didn't dare to move anymore, but he shouted: "You thieves are very courageous. You dare to come to Deyuan Inn to cause trouble. Do you know who the boss of my store is!"

But the leader of the barbarians sneered and said: "Of course I know that even if Zhong Bailong is the number one figure in the barbarian city, it will still be the same if he makes us anxious! Don't let that waiter escape, catch him!"

The boy the Hu leader was referring to was none other than Hou Xiaochuan. The waiter had been huddled against the wall. He wanted to sneak out when no one was paying attention, but he was discovered by the Hu leader. Immediately, a Hu man rushed over and caught him. He picked it up by the back of his collar and threw it on the ground.

Hou Xiaochuan was not as tough-talking as Duan Wu. He kept bowing and begging for mercy, saying: "Sir, please show mercy! I'm just doing some temporary work in this shop. There are seniors and juniors at home. You can If you want to rob, just take the money and spare your life!"

When Duan Wu heard this, he opened his mouth and spat, and shouted: "You brat is really worthless. Could it be that this bastard was reincarnated and shrinks his neck when something happens! A few thieves scared you into looking like this." , if they dare to hurt anyone, Boss Zhong will definitely avenge us, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

The spittle was spat on Hou Xiaochuan's face impartially. Hou Xiaochuan stretched out his hand and wiped it, saying: "You are such a barbarian, you are so ignorant. Didn't you see that he was holding a knife? You just want to die yourself, why not?" Call me a bastard, I'm not done with you!" While cursing, he rushed towards Duan Wu.

The front hall of the inn is so lively, and the backyard is not deserted at all.

There are three courtyards in Deyuan Inn. The front one is the facade and lobby facing the street. There is a three-story building in the middle courtyard, which is the guest room, and the kitchen and stables are in the back.

The entire inn was surrounded, and twenty or thirty black shadows climbed over the four walls and took control of the kitchen and stables a moment ago.

Each of these people wore night clothes, covered their faces with black cloth, and held weapons such as knives and axes in their hands. The leader was a big man with a body like an iron tower, who was the Jurchen Hu Luba.

Horuba was still bare-chested, wearing only his heart armor and a large cowhide belt around his waist. However, his head was wrapped in black cloth, and his face was covered, with only his two eyes exposed.

On that day, Shi Qingzhu put forward the conditions and informed the appearance characteristics of Li Hu, Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cixiang. Zhuo Duoerhan immediately ordered Hu Luba to lead a search. In fact, it did not take much effort to find these three people. Hu Man Although the city is not small, the "Black Wind Banner" is a big force in the local area and has a lot of spies. What's more, Zhu Huichan and others are wandering around in various shops and markets in the city, and they have a lot of money. Shopping in small packages is very conspicuous.

And based on the black dragon horse they were looking for, Hu Luba also found out that Wanyan Lei also died in the hands of these three people.

The people have been found, but it is somewhat troublesome to catch them according to Shi Qingzhu's conditions. After all, there are rules prohibiting fighting in Human City, and even the "Black Wind Flag" does not dare to violate them easily, and Dafang City They usually hire bodyguards to protect them, so arresting people by force is not a good idea.

If three people entered Heishufang, it would be easy for Hu Luba to arrest them. However, although Zhu Huichan visited all the large and small shops in Human City, she refused to enter the gate of Heishufang. This is because when she stayed at the Deyuan Inn that day, the waiter introduced that there were beauties from the Western Regions for sale in the city, which made Zhu Huichan unhappy, so she saw the Slave Fang City. The princess, who was a thousand years old, refused to enter, lest Li Hu find her. If you have the chance, really buy a blond and blue-eyed beauty from the Western Regions.

Of course, Horuba didn't know the reason for this. The three informants he sent followed the three people for several days, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Therefore, Hu Luba had no choice but to wait until night and start his attack at Deyuan Inn.

It was Nai's choice to rob people here, because Deyuan Inn is under the name of Zhong Bailong, and "Bailong Bank" is the largest trading firm among the Han people in Human City, and its power is not as strong as that of "Black Wind Banner" It's not someone you can mess with easily.

Therefore, Hu Luba specially arranged for some of his men to pretend to be Uighurs and go to the front hall to pretend to eat and capture the shopkeeper. He also tried his best not to harm the lives of the cooks and workers in the backyard. Later, Zhong Bailong pursued the case. The two sides will not form an intractable rift.

It seemed that everything was going very smoothly. There was no movement from the front hall, and everyone in the backyard was also restrained. More than thirty Black Wind Banners quickly gathered in the middle courtyard and blocked the small building. Surrounded by people.
