Entering the inn, compared to the magnificent inns in the Chu capital and Guangling city, this small inn couldn't even be considered a third rate inn. However, this was indeed the best inn in Yonglin city. There were only seven or eight tables in the lobby. At this time, three of the tables were already occupied. An old shopkeeper had his head down as he calculated the accounts at the counter. Although Ye Li was wearing a simple cotton dress, her age, appearance, and temperament, as well as the imposing An San following behind her with a sword in his arms, attracted everyone's attention in the inn. At this time, whether it was sightseeing or doing business, it wasn't a good time, so the inn seemed a bit deserted. Ye Li walked to the counter and lightly knocked twice. The old shopkeeper trembled as he raised his head to look at Ye Li and An San for a long time before asking, "Does young master want to stay?"
Ye Li smiled, "Not staying, are we here to drink tea?"
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "What is young master's name? How many rooms do you want?"
"Chu, two upper rooms."
The old shopkeeper called the waiter to bring the two to the room upstairs. After sending the waiter away, An San skillfully checked the entire room. In this kind of small inn, even the upper rooms wouldn't be spacious or gorgeous. It was just a bed, a wardrobe, and a screen separating the tables and chairs outside. An San stood by the door and watched Ye Li skillfully arrange her things. She frowned and asked, "Young master, when are we going to Nan Jiang?" Ye Li put down her luggage and came out from behind the screen. She pointed to a chair on the side and indicated for An San to sit. She smiled and said, "This kind of thing can't be rushed. I think … … we need a guide. "
For people who entered Nan Jiang for the first time, it was simply playing with their lives if they didn't do enough homework. And Ye Li didn't like to take risks if it wasn't necessary.
"Guide?" An San didn't understand.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Nan Jiang is too mysterious for us in the Middle Earth. We're not familiar with the place and it's not easy to go. Finding a Nan Jiang native or someone from Da Chu State who is familiar with Nan Jiang to lead the way is a good choice. "
Third Secret frowned, "But … bringing an outsider might drag us down."
Ye Li tapped the table absentmindedly with her fan and said, "That's why we still have to wait. I've already asked someone to find a guide. It's a pity that he seems to be two days later than us. "Looking at An San's puzzled expression, Ye Li smiled but didn't say anything. Indicating that An San could go back to his room to rest, An San knew his master's temper, if she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't be able to get an answer even if he racked his brains. She could only get up and return to her room with a gloomy face.
Watching An San leave with a smile, Ye Li took out the files sent by the Tianyi Pavilion from her luggage and continued reading. After getting the benefits, Han Mingxi was very reliable. Along the way to the south, she would receive a large amount of information about the Southern Xinjiang from the Tianyi Pavilion almost every few days. Ye Li was already used to reading all the things she received, memorizing them in her mind, and then destroying the evidence. The one in her hand now should be the last one before entering the Southern Xinjiang. Along the way, the general situation of the Southern Xinjiang also gradually formed an impression in her mind, but how much of it was real would have to be verified after entering the Southern Xinjiang. After skimming through the thick file in her hand, Ye Li calmly burned the file that was filled with handwriting to the ground.
Early in the morning, Ye Li got up early as usual and went downstairs. There were already two tables in the lobby downstairs, one of which was An San sitting against the wall. Seeing Ye Li come down, An San hurriedly got up, "Gongzi."
Ye Li nodded and smiled, "So early?"
An San was silent. Usually, with the others together, there was no need to be so early, but right now he was the only one following. Although he knew that the gongzi wasn't without the ability to protect himself, he still couldn't help but worry. How could Ye Li not understand his thoughts, smiling helplessly, "Don't be so nervous, if you keep on like this, I'm afraid you'll collapse before we even enter the Southern Xinjiang. Does it give you a lot of pressure to follow me? "
An San shook his head, "No, this subordinate thanks the gongzi for your trust." It was just that he and the others grew up together. He was only a little older than An Si, but his temperament wasn't as steady as An Si's. So he was used to listening to An Yi and An Er's opinions. Now that he was the only one, it was inevitable that he wasn't used to it. Ye Li nodded with a smile, sitting down and calling the waiter to order breakfast.
"Two gongzi, are you also planning to go to the Southern Xinjiang?" Ye Li was calling An San to eat breakfast when a man at the opposite table stood up and asked.
Hearing this, Ye Li put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up to size up the person. His figure was tall and sturdy, and his appearance was average. Although he tried his best to show kindness to the two, it was hard to hide the evil aura between his brows. An San reached out and grabbed the sword on the table. Ye Li raised his hand to press down on the sword, inadvertently patting it. An San frowned and looked at the person before taking back his hand and lowering his head to continue eating.
The two people's actions were naturally seen clearly by the person who came. He didn't mind and smiled, "This brother doesn't need to be nervous. We are also going to the Southern Xinjiang, so we wanted to ask if gongzi wanted to go together. "The man pointed to the three people at the opposite table and smiled. Ye Li glanced over there. An old man in his fifties or sixties who looked like a wealthy merchant. His body was covered in gorgeous and expensive clothing, as well as the jade thumb ring on his finger. He also held a gold abacus in his hand. He just didn't write 'I'm very rich, come rob me'. Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper and a sickly young scholar. This kind of combination could definitely be called eye-catching. At first, Ye Li was a bit worried that she and An San would attract too much attention. Only after seeing these people did she realize that she was too much of a disgrace. Speaking of which, those who had the guts to go to the hinterland of the Southern Xinjiang weren't trash.
Ye Li looked at An San and smiled, "I'm just afraid that we will cause trouble for you."
The man smiled, "How could that be? I see that this brother's skills aren't bad. I've also been to the Southern Xinjiang a few times. It's very evil. If we have a few more people, we can take care of each other, right? "The man looked at An San and then turned his gaze back to Ye Li. It was clear that Ye Li was the one who could make the decision, but he couldn't see the depth of the youth in front of him. He could only secretly guess whether or not some family's young master who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth came out to play with his guards.
"We plan to go to the capital of Nanzhao. There shouldn't be any danger along the way. I wonder who you are? "Ye Li narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her smile was innocent and kind.
The man laughed loudly, "We are also going to the capital of Nanzhao. I's road to the capital of Nanzhao was quite peaceful. However, since last year, it's been a bit mysterious. Our master is going to Nanzhao to do some medicine business. If gongzi doesn't mind, why don't we go together? " The rich merchant sitting across from them glanced at Ye Li arrogantly. However, the young man with a sickly face smiled and nodded at the two.
Ye Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled. She tactfully declined, "I only heard that Nanzhao's scenery is unique. That's why I plan to travel and broaden my horizons. Therefore, I found a guide in advance. It's just that he'll be two days late. " Seeing Ye Li refuse, the man didn't force it. He only smiled and said, "Since it's like this, then I'll have to bother gongzi. We might as well meet again in the capital of Nanzhao. "Ye Li nodded slightly and watched the man return to the seat across from them. Across from them, the rich merchant scolded the man for being meddlesome and spoke disdainfully to Ye Li. Ye Li didn't care and smiled faintly and lowered her head to eat breakfast.
