Chapter 783 Promise (1)

Luoxue led Nangong Yu all the way north, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Yushu County after experiencing numerous hardships and dangers. In two or three days, they would be able to reach Qing County, the closest to Lingbei, and cross the Tianlun Mountain that separated Qing County and Lingbei, and reach the territory of Mengnu. Then, they would be able to see Nangong Yi, and they would no longer have to worry.

After arriving in Yushu County, it was not yet dark. Luoxue wanted to walk a little further and rush to Qingyun Town in the north of Yushu County to rest, but Nangong Yu was weak and was exhausted after sitting in a carriage for a day. Her face turned pale. Seeing her like this, Luoxue had to change her mind and took her to stay at the best inn in Qing County, the 'Auspicious Inn'.

They were unlucky. When they entered the inn, they happened to meet a man coming out of the casino next door.

The man's surname was Zhou and his name was Jinbao. He was originally the son of Zhou Yuanwai in Zhoujia Village, Qingyun Town. His family had a hundred acres of fertile land and more than a dozen houses. If he had lived a stable life, he would be Zhou Xiaoyuanwai now. Unfortunately, Zhou Jinbao had developed the bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling since he was young. After his miserly father died, he spent thousands of taels of family property in just a few years. He sold his house and land. Now he specializes in stealing and sneaking in Yushu County, barely making a living. This evening, he came out of the casino and lost some capital. He was feeling annoyed when he saw two young women with willow waists staying in the inn. The two women were walking alone, without any male relatives around them. Zhou Jinbao immediately had evil intentions and entangled a few scoundrels, planning to knock the two women unconscious. They would have fun with them for a few days and then sell them after they had enough fun. Looking at the figures and appearances of the two women, it would not be a problem to sell them for a hundred or eighty taels.

When the ruffians who had been hanging out with Zhou Jinbao heard that there were women to play with and money to be made, they immediately hit it off with him. After a few people had made their plans, they sneaked into the Jixiang Inn at 3:10 a.m. and started to fight.

Luoxue woke up with a start, pushed Nangong Yu awake, and stuffed a pill into her mouth. She also took a pill, then took out her soft sword from her bag and hid behind the door.

On the couch, Nangong Yu hugged her knees and sat nervously in the corner of the bed. Although she was afraid, she was not at a loss. This was not the first time she had encountered such a thing since she came here from the capital. Sister Luoxue easily solved it every time. Therefore, she was quite accustomed to it. She just clenched her fists and hid in the corner, and did not collapse and scream like she did when she encountered such a thing for the first time.

After Zhou Jinbao blew the smoke, he thought that the two women in the room had fainted on time, so he asked a gangster to use a thin knife to open the bolt, and several people tiptoed in.

As soon as I entered the house, a strange fragrance came. It was different from the incense they put, but it was a more fragrant smell than the incense. It smelled good and intoxicating.

Several hooligans thought it was the fragrance of the girls, and they sniffed it hard a few times.

"Damn, it smells so good. I must kiss these two girls later."

"Shh, don't make any noise. You might wake them up."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, we are all here. Are you afraid that they will... fly away... No..."

Before he could say the word "success", the man who spoke had already fallen to the ground with a "bang" and fell asleep.

Seeing this, the second man bent down and whispered: "Li Erlu, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he finished shouting, he fell to the ground with a "thump" and fell asleep.

The others behind him finally realized that something was wrong and just wanted to turn around and leave, but they all felt dizzy and weak in the legs. Before they could take a step, they fell down one after another.
