Chapter 452 Meeting at the Inn

Late at night.

Qiuye Town.

A carriage slowly stopped outside the inn.

A young woman jumped off the carriage. She was wearing a brocade skirt, and her appearance was naturally beautiful, with bright eyes and shining.

Behind her, followed a cold girl, wearing a plain dress, holding a sword in her arms, with no expression on her tight little face, and looking around coldly.

It was late at night, and the streets of the town were dark. Most people had already gone to bed, except for a few places where there were still sparks.

The lights were bright in the inn.

However, there was no sound in the hall. I don’t know where the inn’s waiter hid to be lazy. Not far away, behind the counter, the shopkeeper was dozing off in front of the counter.

Until he heard the faint sound of a carriage outside the door, he raised his head. Is there another guest?

Although the town is not big, there are always travelers passing by. In the middle of the night, foreign travelers can only stay in his inn.

Sure enough, after a while, footsteps were heard outside the door. Then, two figures stepped into the inn.

The shopkeeper looked up, and the next second, his expression was startled, as if he was a little surprised, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Two women with extremely beautiful appearance and amazing temperament appeared in his sight. They were extremely beautiful, with good temperament, and even the clothes on their bodies showed that they were either rich or noble.

Obviously not ordinary people.

More importantly... the two looked exactly the same!

Although the dress and temperament were completely different, they looked exactly the same.

Twin sisters!

In the middle of the night, a pair of twins suddenly came to the inn, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but take a breath!

As the shopkeeper of the inn, he has seen many people in the past few years. But he has never seen such young and beautiful twin sisters appear in such a place!

Aren't such stunning women usually kept in deep courtyards by those powerful nobles?

Two women going out alone at night, aren't they afraid of being unsafe?

How many people in the world would covet this?

The shopkeeper was shocked, and his eyes fell on the plain-clothed girl behind him.

She looked cold and cold, and she was holding a sword in her arms!

Are they wandering in the world?

After all, the shopkeeper has seen the world. After a short daze, he quickly came to his senses and stood up: "Ladies, do you want to stay overnight or stay in the hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel."

Jinxiu, who was wearing a skirt, said softly: "I want three clean rooms, and prepare some food, and send it to the room later."

"Three rooms?"

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned. Two people want three rooms?

However, he soon realized something, glanced at the carriage outside the door, and nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, sir, I will prepare it now!"

Let's not talk about why two such stunning women appeared here at night. Since he could show up, it meant that he was not a small figure. The shopkeeper did not dare to slack off and quickly got up to find the lazy waiter in the back to work.

The hall was silent.

"Finally, I can have a good rest for a night!"

After the shopkeeper left, Jinxiu stretched lazily, with a few traces of fatigue on her face: "I am almost exhausted these two days."

As Jinxiu spoke, she rubbed her waist and couldn't help sighing: "It's so boring to rush on the road!"

An Ning, who was holding a sword, stood quietly aside, without saying a word, just looking around.

"What's wrong?"

Jinxiu noticed her eyes and asked in confusion.

An Ning retracted her gaze and shook her head with a cold little face.

"Boring!"

Seeing this, Jinxiu pouted: "You only know how to learn from the princess, with a cold face all day long... It's really boring!"

Jinxiu couldn't help sighing.

Forget that her own princess has a cold temper, An Ning also follows the princess. How could she bear two taciturn people?

"I should have let you follow the princess by yourself!"

Jinxiu curled her lips, as if she remembered something, and said with some regret: "I should have gone with His Highness."

Hearing this, An Ning was slightly startled and looked up at her.

"It's a pity that he ran too fast..."

Jinxiu's tone was inevitably a little regretful.

Three days ago, the affairs in the palace had been settled, and the princess took her and An Ning on the road to Linzhou. It was also three days ago that they learned that the Jiang Mansion was deserted.

Old Master Jiang in Jiangnan was seriously ill, and the Jiang family left the capital and returned to Jiangnan.

It is said that Lin Jiangnian also followed.

However, the matter has not been confirmed.

It is unknown whether he really went to Jiangnan or changed his route halfway.

In short, Lin Jiangnian disappeared and hid his whereabouts. No one has seen him again.

This made Jinxiu somewhat regretful. If she had known that she would follow An Ning, a taciturn person, she might as well follow His Highness the Prince.

Anyway, we are going to the Lin Palace, and it is better to be with His Royal Highness than with An Ning. Besides, with An Ning accompanying the princess, she is no longer needed, right?

An Ning did not speak, and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jinxiu glanced at her, as if she thought of something, her eyes alert: "You are not thinking about His Royal Highness, are you?"

An Ning said expressionlessly: "It is you who is thinking about His Royal Highness."

"I am not."

Jinxiu denied it flatly.

How could she think about the Prince of Lin?

She was just worried that her only sister would be seduced by the Prince of Lin.

This silly girl is stupid and dumb, and is easily deceived. As a sister, if I don't take good care of her, she might be sold and help the prince of Lin to count money.

Fortunately, there is still a month before the journey to the Lin Palace. During this month, she must find a way to instill some ideas in An Ning.

She must not be fooled!

Be careful of His Highness!

Jinxiu made up her mind secretly.

An Ning ignored Jinxiu, turned around and walked out of the inn, and returned to the carriage outside the inn.

At the same time, the innkeeper also came back.

"Miss, the room has been cleaned and is on the third floor."

"The waiter will deliver the food to your room later."

Jinxiu heard it, nodded slightly, took the room number handed by the shopkeeper, and turned to the outside of the inn.

"Princess, the room is ready!"

Jinxiu appeared beside the carriage outside the door and reported softly.

"Yes."

A cold voice came from the carriage.

Then, Li Piaomiao, dressed in white, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

She seemed to always wear this long white dress, with a cold temperament, and a chill that seemed to shroud her whole body, making people afraid.

Jinxiu glanced at her own princess, and felt inexplicably worried.

The coldness in the princess' body... seemed to be unable to be suppressed and broke out again!

Several days have passed since the last time the Prince of Lin helped the princess "cure the disease". Jinxiu knew that the princess originally planned to go to the Prince of Lin's mansion with the Prince of Lin, and she could also "cure the disease" on the way.

But unexpectedly, Lin Jiangnian suddenly disappeared without a sound and left without saying goodbye. In order to hide his whereabouts, that guy didn't let anyone know his whereabouts.

In this way, the princess can only go to Linzhou alone. Other things are fine, but the coldness in the princess' body broke out again, causing her to regain her former cold temperament.

It's at least a month's journey from here to Linzhou. I don't know if the princess's body can bear it.

More importantly, will the prince of Lin be in the Lin Palace at that time?

If he is not there... that would be a big problem!

While Jinxiu was worried, Li Piaomiao had already gotten off the carriage and entered the inn.

The princess did not hide her whereabouts when she went south this time, and anyone who was interested could find out as long as they checked. However, Li Piaomiao's identity was sensitive after all, and she rarely showed up along the way south to avoid causing too much unnecessary trouble.

Of course, she was not worried about encountering any danger!

This time when she went to Linzhou, Li Piaomiao only brought two personal maids, Jinxiu and An Ning. But on this way south, neither Jinxiu nor An Ning was worried about encountering any danger.

After all, in their eyes, their own princess was the biggest danger...

In the inn.

When the shopkeeper saw the beautiful couple suddenly return to the carriage outside the inn, he immediately realized... There might be a more distinguished person in the carriage!

Which noble family is it?

Or the descendants of the princes?

Just as the shopkeeper was guessing, a figure in white slowly appeared in the inn.

With a cold and elegant temperament, as soon as he stepped into the inn, a chill instantly filled the hall. The shopkeeper shuddered subconsciously, and his skin seemed to be covered with goose bumps in an instant, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.

Then, he froze in place.

His eyes were dazed, and he just glanced at her and quickly retracted his gaze.

His heart was in turmoil, and he was horrified.

This woman... is too scary!

Just a glance, there is such a terrifying aura lingering.

This woman must be good at martial arts.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper finally realized something...

No wonder they dared to travel with such a pair of stunning twins in the middle of the night, it turned out that their master was so powerful.

In the past few years, the shopkeeper has come and gone from north to south and met many people from the rivers and lakes who stayed in the hotel, and he has also seen many masters. But there has never been one who can be as terrifying as this woman in white, with such overwhelming pressure that he can hardly breathe.

She must be a top-level expert in the martial arts world!

And this extraordinary temperament also made the shopkeeper realize that the other party was indeed not small.

It was not until the woman in white took the two twins upstairs and left that the atmosphere in the hall finally dissipated slightly.

The shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

A big shot has come!

At this time, Li Piaomiao had already taken Jinxiu and An Ning upstairs to the third floor.

Just as he was about to go back to his room first.

On the third floor, at the corner of the stairs, a figure was walking out of the next room.

It was Lin Qingqing who had just bathed and changed clothes.

Lin Qingqing was a little exhausted from the continuous journey these days, so Lin Jiangnian ordered her not to keep watch tonight. Lin Qingqing obeyed and went back to bathe and change clothes, ready to have a good rest for a night.

However, after resting until midnight, she was still a little worried, so she prepared to go out and take a look to check the hidden dangers of the inn.

As a result, she just walked out of the room and ran into three people going upstairs.

Lin Qingqing stared at the three familiar figures that appeared in her sight and froze in place.

"Princess, Princess?!"

"Lin Qingqing?!"

Jinxiu, who was following the princess, recognized at a glance that the person in front of her was a trusted subordinate of Lin Jiangnian.

She had met him several times when she went to Jiang Mansion several times before, so she was considered to know him.

"You, why are you here?!"

Jinxiu was shocked, and then as if she realized something, her beautiful eyes lit up in an instant, and she said in surprise: "Your Highness, Your Highness is here too?!"

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the atmosphere around her had changed.

Li Piaomiao looked cold, and his eyes fell on the room not far behind Lin Qingqing.

On the other side, An Ning was still holding the sword. When she heard Lin Jiangnian's name, she subconsciously raised her head slightly.

He glanced and said nothing.

Facing three pairs of "covetous" eyes, Lin Qingqing felt a great pressure in an instant.

These three people's eyes were obviously bright when they heard the name of their own prince!

So excited?

Especially this Princess, no, she is not coming for her own prince, right?

Wait, it seems... Princess is still the fiancee of her own prince in name!

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's heart skipped a beat!

Not good!

That Miss Xu is still in the prince's room.

This...

As if realizing something, Lin Qingqing's pupils widened slightly.

Cold sweat ran down.

"It's over!"

"..."

Early morning.

The sun slowly shone into the room through the windowsill.

Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes.

After a comfortable night's sleep, I felt refreshed.

Lin Jiangnian sat up and stretched.

When he glanced at the ground not far away, he realized something... there was another person on the ground!

Lin Jiangnian looked at the floor and saw that Miss Xu was sleeping soundly on the floor.

Her black hair was messy and scattered, and her delicate face was closing her eyes and sleeping soundly.

Miss Xu would look quiet after she fell asleep, with a bit of Miss Xu's temperament.

However...

Lin Jiangnian frowned quickly.

Miss Xu's sleeping posture was a bit dishonest!

She was lying on her side, with her legs slightly bent and holding the quilt, and the quilt was sandwiched between her legs, and the whole person curled up into a ball.

There was nothing wrong with this sleeping posture.

But the problem was... Miss Xu was not wearing any clothes!

To be precise, she was not wearing any outer clothes.

She took off her outer clothes at some point last night, so Miss Xu was left with only underwear on her body.

As she turned sideways, her long white legs were exposed to the air and Lin Jiangnian's sight, which was very dazzling!

Not to mention, her legs were quite long.

And quite white.

Young ladies from wealthy families take good care of themselves.

From this point of view, this Miss Xu is not without advantages.

And she was only wearing a thin white undergarment on her upper body. The material of the undergarment was like silk, very smooth and thin, and her white skin was vaguely visible through the undergarment.

As she turned sideways, her delicate collarbone was slightly squeezed...

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it inadvertently and made a judgment in his heart.

It was a small scale!

But not a large scale!

Lin Jiangnian's face gradually became strange. What was she thinking?

A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and she dared to take off her clothes?

Trust him so much?

Wait...

Thinking back to what happened last night, Lin Jiangnian suddenly doubted... Could she be doing it on purpose?

Playing the game of seduction?

Don't mention it...

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Miss Xu again.

He looked at her twice more.

It must be said that Xu Lan's seduction did work.

At least at this moment, Lin Jiangnian really had some evil thoughts about Miss Xu who wanted to be his sworn brother.

"Sin, sin!"
