Ling Tianyun rode the white horse all the way, but he didn't know anything about what was happening behind it. He just wanted to find an inn where he could get some rest.

He galloped for almost half an hour, and had already left Whitewater City, beyond the jurisdiction of Whitewater City. As he galloped, he saw a small town ahead of him. There was only one street in the town, which was not very wide, and it was almost hour, and the people of the town were almost asleep. The surroundings are very quiet, and the starlight and moonlight in the night sky are intricately intertwined, adding a bit of tranquility to this quiet town.

Ling Tianyun slowed down the horse's speed a few points, and came to the entrance of the town along this official road, only to see a person-high white stone block standing next to the entrance of the town, and the stone block was engraved with three large characters of "Baishi Town" painted with vermilion. The town is called Shiraishi Town, and of course it has little to do with Shiraishi.

He rode his horse along a small street at the entrance of the town, which was not very wide, and walked about a hundred feet. I saw an inn in front of me, and there were two big red lanterns hanging in front of the inn, and a flag with "Ke" written on it was hung high. Finally, there was an inn, and Ling Tianyun pulled the reins and urged the horses to speed up and gallop forward.

Ling Tianyun immediately dismounted and tied the horse to a wooden stake in front of the inn. He walked quickly to the closed door, knocked hard, and for a moment there was no response, and he hammered it harder.

The sound of "thump" broke the tranquility of the town of White Rock.

"Who, what is the noise, here it is" A lazy voice sounded inside, "crunch", the door of the inn was half larger, and I saw a person leaning out of the crack in the door, the shopkeeper in a cotton coat and a small felt hat only leaned out half of his body, he rubbed his eyes that were not fully awake, and looked towards Ling Tianyun.

"Ah, there are ghosts", the shopkeeper suddenly screamed, and the door slammed shut again.

This time Ling Tianyun was confused, and he looked at his whole body in a daze. Only then did he find that his whole body was already in tatters, and his whole body was covered with blood, especially the placket under his left ribs was dyed red. And his hair doesn't know what has been loose, and he is casually draped behind his head, which is indeed like a ghost.

"Little second brother, don't be afraid, it's a person and not a ghost down there, it's just that I'm on the night road and I met that bandit, so I ended up in such a mess." He hurriedly knocked on the door again and explained to the second brother of the shop, "I am here to stay in the store, and I ask the second brother to open the door." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Ling Tianyun say this at this time, he couldn't help but feel courageous, so he opened the door of the store and stared at Ling Tianyun suspiciously for a while, before letting him enter the inn. Knowing that Ling Tianyun was going to stay in the hotel, he enthusiastically introduced to him the price of this inn and the customs of related Baishi Town. After the introduction, he glanced at Ling Tianyun suspiciously. At this time, Ling Tianyun was indeed no different from a beggar, dressed in tattered clothes, if it weren't for the fact that he saw a white horse tied outside. The second child in this store really doubts whether this young man has the money to live in the hotel. It's just that this young man said that he met a bandit, didn't the thief snatch the bag from this young man, and besides, there are no bandits in the peace here.

Although the junior second of this shop is suspicious of Ling Tianyun, but the business still has to be done, the junior of this shop is also a person who has seen the world, seeing that although this young man is dressed in tatters, his appearance is also extraordinary, but he just doesn't know if he really has any silver.

Ling Tianyun seemed to notice the shopkeeper's expression, and he took out a small grain of broken silver from his bag and threw it to the shopkeeper. As soon as the shopkeeper saw that there was silver, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly arranged a guest room for him.

He arranged for the shopkeeper to lead his white horse to the stable in the inn, and then asked the shopkeeper to fetch a bucket of hot water to come to his room. After giving him the order, he went straight up the stairs and went to his room.

He pushed the door open, and the musty smell of the room immediately hit his nose, causing him to sneeze. Ling Tianyun frowned, how long had it been since no one had lived in this room. With the help of the faint moonlight outside the window, he took out the fire fold and lit the candles in the room one by one. The whole room was lit up.

But I saw that the whole room was covered with cobwebs, and the tables and chairs were full of dust. Ling Tianyun waved his sleeves, and the dust flew up, filling the room with the smell of dust. No, you can live in such a room. Ling Tianyun wondered in his heart. It's not good for him to go down and ask the shopkeeper again, he will clean up first, as long as he can rest peacefully for one night. He picked up the feather duster that had been placed in the corner and cleaned it up.

"Ouch, my lord, you're in the wrong room." At this time, the shopkeeper came up with a bucket of steaming hot water, and saw Ling Tianyun in a room, so he stood in front of the door of that room and said to him.

When Ling Tianyun heard this, he was stunned, he looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, and asked, "Why isn't this room?" ”

"This is your room." The shopkeeper pointed to the one opposite the room where Ling Tianyun was and explained to him.

No wonder, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that he had gone to the wrong room, and he was curious and asked the shopkeeper, "I'm afraid no one has lived in this room for many years." Why don't you clean this room and arrange for guests to stay in this room? ”

The shopkeeper carried a bucket of hot water and led Ling Tianyun to the opposite room. Pushing open the door, the shopkeeper took out the fire fold from his arms and lit the candles in the room.

Ling Tianyun entered the room, and then he looked at the room, only to see that the layout of this room was the same as the room he had entered wrong. It's just that the room is clean and tidy, the tables, chairs and floors are spotless, and the quilts on the beds are neatly stacked. There was also a heating stove in the outer corners of the room, and the best charcoal had already been placed in it.

"Little second brother, what's going on in that room?" Ling Tianyun couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper again.

"The guest officer should rest early, if there is anything else that needs to be called directly, just call the small one." The shopkeeper didn't answer his question, but placed the barrel of heat next to a large barrel and was about to turn away. As soon as he turned around, he stopped talking, and still told Ling Tianyun: "It's better for the guest officer not to enter that room again, most of the guests have already rested now, and if the guest officer doesn't have anything else, the little one will retire first." ”

Ling Tianyun looked at the back of the shopkeeper leaving in a daze, could there be something unsightly in this only inn in Baishi Town, and what happened in that mysterious guest room. These thoughts only flashed in his mind, and he did not think about them anymore, and the time was to cleanse himself.

He took off all his clothes and walked over to the great barrel, which was already filled with warm water. He poured the steaming hot water brought by the shopkeeper into the big wooden barrel. He stood naked in the half-man-tall wooden barrel, his feet in the hot water, and a warm air came from his feet, and the heat of the hot water curled up and around him.

He didn't dare to sit down with his whole body, because he still had a wound under his ribs. At this time, the wound was no longer bleeding, and the wound began to slowly scar, and a bright red blood scar was shocking. Ling Tianyun realized that there was no good place on his body, and there were blood marks everywhere, probably from being scratched by the dead branches when he was shuttling in the dense forest.

He picked up the towel that had been placed on the edge of the barrel and gently wiped the blood stains from his body as they wiped them clean. His bronzed skin was exposed, with strong muscles up and down his body, and seven or eight pack abs were bumpy and convex.

At this moment, Ling Tianyun heard a slight footstep on the roof, walking on the green tile. Before he could think about it, a strong wind blew into his room, and the window opened without a breath. A figure swept into his room through the window, which closed silently.

Ling Tianyun took a closer look and found that it was a woman who broke into his room, about twenty-eight years old, wearing a pale green and emerald smoke-colored long skirt, the woman had black hair, but it was combed into two slender pigtails. The woman's snow-white melon seed face, a pair of dark and shiny eyes flashed under her slender eyebrows, revealing a bright light.

As soon as the woman entered the house, she saw Ling Tianyun who was standing in the wooden barrel and was immediately stunned.

Ling Tianyun didn't expect that a woman would break into his room at this time, and it was a very beautiful woman. He couldn't help but let out an "ah", and quickly covered his lower body with both hands, as if he felt that something was wrong, and he sat down in the big wooden barrel again. As soon as he sat down, only his head was exposed, and he stared at the intruder in a daze.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps on the roof of the inn, and the woman heard the footsteps. Her face changed suddenly, and she looked around the room to see that there was no hiding place.

At this time, the footsteps became more and more urgent, and it seemed to be on the roof of the room where Ling Tianyun was.

Could it be that the person on the roof was chasing this woman, Ling Tianyun looked at the anxious woman, and seemed to feel compassion in his heart, but at this time he couldn't do anything.

The woman turned her gaze to Ling Tianyun again, her gaze locked on the big wooden barrel.

He couldn't afford to think about it, just under Ling Tianyun's stunned eyes. The woman flickered, but jumped into the large barrel and hid behind him. The woman put a bright short knife against Ling Tianyun's back, and shouted softly, "Don't make a sound, otherwise I will kill you." Although the woman's voice carried a hint of coldness, it was as beautiful as the cry of a green warbler.

Ling Tianyun clearly felt a sharp weapon against his back, but he felt that the woman's hand holding the sharp weapon couldn't help shaking, as if it would pierce his back if he wasn't careful.

"Bang",

The door to the guest room was kicked open by someone outside, and two men burst in through the door. The two men were tall and tall in samurai suits, and they exuded a fierce aura.

"You saw a green-shirted woman coming in," one of the bearded warriors asked Ling Tianyun. The other samurai scrutinized the room with his eyes intent, and when he found nothing to gain, he withdrew his gaze.

Ling Tianyun felt that the woman was hiding behind him, her body was not even in the water, but the sharp weapon was still against his back, he looked at the two warriors in strong suits, pretending to be ignorant, and shook his head at the two warriors.

The two warriors still didn't seem to be at ease, and they went into the room together, and examined the whole room carefully. But without examining the large barrel of hot water, no one would have thought that the woman would be so bold as to hide in the barrel in which the boy was bathing. They still haven't found any clues. Only then did they retreat, and before leaving, the two samurai did not even say a word of apology, and slammed the door shut.

"It's strange, I obviously saw this chick enter this room, why did she disappear after a while." ，

"That chick is like a fox, maybe it just led the two of us here, and it doesn't matter if she ran in other directions." The conversation between the two of them after they exited the room clearly reached Ling Tianyun's ears.
