The Ru Family Inn was the largest inn in Yong County. It was also the most famous inn in the entire Shu Prefecture.
Although the inn had only been built for less than a year, because of its comfortable environment, attentive service, and friendly price, its reputation had long spread. Regardless of whether it was a passerby or a passing merchant, they were all willing to stay here.
Single rooms, standard rooms, husband and wife rooms, family rooms, luxurious rooms, chess rooms, and a series of rooms were available to meet the needs of all kinds of guests.
Although it was located in the desolate Shu Prefecture, the business of the Ru Family Inn had always been booming. Since they moved here, in just a few months, three inns in Yong County had closed.
Even the shops had been bought by the Ru Family Inn. It should be time to open a branch.
Just like the name of the inn, it was like home. It gave its guests the feeling of being at home. Step by step, the Ru Family Inn had clearly achieved this.
At this time, it was only early in the morning, but there were already many people busy at the entrance of the inn.
"Erlang, move quickly. We need to set up the platform before noon." A bare-chested man was moving things out of the hostel next to the inn. He turned around and urged another skinny figure.
The young man laughed and said, "Big brother, don't worry. We can make it!"
Someone behind him teased, "Old Zhu, why are you moving so little at once? Are you tired from having fun with the brothel girls yesterday? Let me give you a piece of advice. It's fine to go to brothels every now and then. How can you go there three times a day …"
This man's name was Zhu Dong. He had a younger brother at home. Everyone usually called him Zhu Dalang. The two brothers were originally butchers and later worked in the brothel. After interacting with each other for a while, they were already familiar with each other.
Zhu Dalang waved his hand and scolded, "Get out of here. I don't need you to care about my business. Hurry up. If you're late and make the manager unhappy, you'll lose this month's bonus."
"You're just afraid that you won't have a bonus!"
A burst of laughter came from behind him.
Inside the inn, a waiter walked out and asked, "Hey, Old Zhu, you're here again today? You guys are making so much noise outside. Aren't you disturbing our business?"
"Bah!" Zhu Dalang cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "Disturbing your business, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Without us, would your business be so good?"
The waiter smiled sheepishly and hurried over to help him unload the things on his shoulders and put them on the empty space beside him.
The brothel business was booming. When it was mealtime, some people were too lazy to go back, so they just ate in the inn. It was also a great boost to their business.
To a certain extent, the reason why the Ru Family Inn was so popular was because there was a brothel next to it. When the guests were free, they only needed to take a few steps downstairs to find a place to spend their time.
Of course, although one of them worked in an inn and the other worked in a brothel, they were still a family. Back then, it had been a tough journey, so they didn't care about these small matters …
"Hey, that brothel is going to have a benefit performance again today!"
"It's rare, it's rare. I've missed it the last few times. I'll come over to reserve a seat after I finish my meal."
"I don't know what to sing today. I like 'Legend of the White Snake' …"
"I like 'Hua Mulan'. 'Mu Guiying' is fine too …"
The passersby stood in the distance and whispered to each other. There were also people coming out of the surrounding shops to take a look.
The show at the brothel was really good. Every once in a while, they would bring out the stage to perform for free. It would be a waste not to watch it. They had to reserve a seat now, or they would have to stand in a while.
…
…
Li Yi stretched his body. Recently, he hadn't been eating or sleeping well. It had been a long time since he had such a comfortable sleep.
He opened the door and saw a waiter walking up with a tray. Li Yi's face lit up. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, it's you again. I'm really sorry about last night. Come, put the things in."
Fifteen minutes later, the waiter walked out of the room.
Downstairs, the man with the surname Fang walked out of the room. Immediately, a man in blue came up to him and said, "Envoy, everything is ready. When do we start?"
"Tonight at midnight."
The man with the surname Fang said in a low voice and walked upstairs.
The waiter brushed past him. The man with the surname Fang suddenly stopped and said, "Stop."
He turned his head and looked at the waiter and asked, "Are you a waiter here? Why didn't I see you a few days ago? "
The handsome waiter looked at him indifferently. There was no change in his expression.
"Raise your head."
The man with the surname Fang had a look of doubt on his face. He extended his hand to hold the waiter's chin. His other hand reached out from the side and grabbed the waiter's wrist.
Li Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Fang, this brother can't speak."
The waiter glanced at Li Yi and turned to go downstairs.
"Stop!"
A hint of anger appeared on the man with the surname Fang's face. Just as he was about to chase after him, the hand firmly grabbed his wrist. He couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. His expression changed slightly. When he turned his head to look at Li Yi, a strange expression finally appeared on his face.
Li Yi loosened his grip. The man with the surname Fang looked at him and said, "I've underestimated you before …"
After saying that, a hand suddenly reached out and went straight for Li Yi's throat.
Bang!
After a dull sound, Li Yi took two steps back. The young man's body swayed on the spot and an unnatural red flush appeared on his face.
Li Yi waved his hand. This guy was indeed powerful. Back at the Heroes Conference, he was able to fight Yang Liuqing to a standstill. He was not someone that Li Yi could defeat just by sleeping a few times.
Pa!
As he waved his sleeve, something flew out from his sleeve and landed on the floor, making a clear sound.
The man with the surname Fang instinctively lowered his head to take a look. After being stunned for a moment, his expression changed greatly the next moment.
"Blue Dragon Envoy …" He suddenly raised his head to look at Li Yi and said angrily, "How is this possible!"
Thump!
The two men in blue behind him immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your subordinates greet the Left Guardian!"
The man with the surname Fang took a step forward and picked up the token on the ground. He flipped it over and looked at it. The Azure Dragon pattern carved on it was vivid and lifelike. He took out another token from his waist. It looked almost exactly the same as this one, but what was carved on it was a white tiger.
Azure Dragon on the left and White Tiger on the right.
The Azure Dragon was the leader, and the White Tiger was the support.
The Left Guardian of the Holy Religion!
The Left Protector whose status was only below that of the Empress!
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Yi, and said coldly, "Where did you get this token? Tell me the truth!"
Li Yi calmly glanced at him and did not say anything. A trace of anger appeared on the young man's face. He turned to the two men in blue behind him and said, "You two, capture him. I'll go ask Her Ladyship!"
The two men in blue lowered their heads and remained unmoved.
The young man with the surname Fang's expression changed. He looked at Li Yi with an even more vicious gaze.
However, he did not say anything else. Instead, he walked straight to a door in front of him. After knocking on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.
The young man angrily looked at the middle-aged Taoist nun who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and asked, "Auntie, I want an explanation. Why is he the Left Guardian? Who is he?"
