Longevity Incense; Willow Darkness 4

Jianglou Inn

"What do you mean we didn't come back together?!" Shangguan Wenda asked, grabbing Jiao Jiao's arm, his tone urgent and angry. It was a rare emotion he had.

Although it was almost midnight, it seemed that time had been forgotten at this moment. Those who had been brought back from the turbulent streets and those who had heard the news and were waiting at the door of the inn lobby gathered together.

Jiao Jiao was frightened by him and stood there in shock. She came over for a while before answering, but she stumbled over her answer: "We and Cousin Mei went... and got separated. Sister Yue felt that the street was too chaotic and was uneasy, so...

I took two thugs to find someone." Thinking of the look Kong Tongyue glanced at her at that time, Jiao Jiao was still a little frightened.

"Since we know the street is too chaotic, we shouldn't let her go! What on earth are you thinking!" Wen Da was so angry that he didn't stop her, but he was even more angry with himself for not forcefully taking Kong Tongyue away at that time.

After two scoldings in a row, Jiao Jiao was so frightened that he shrugged his shoulders and started crying: "I don't know... I'm sorry, I really don't know..." If she had known that this would happen tonight, I would have beaten her to death.

She also won't ask a group of people to go out.

Mrs. Shangguan saw that the child was crying pitifully, so she stepped forward and pulled him away: "Okay, it's just a child, so what? How could she think of so many things?"

While talking, Xiao Xiyuan also came over and took Jiao Jiao a little further behind him, quite protectively. Jiao Jiao ran into his mother's arms and looked like he had done something wrong, crying so hard.

Ta-ta.

"But this is not something you can just say sorry~" Wen Da turned to look at his mother, "Did you not see from the car window when you came back in the car, people were trampled on and shot randomly during the riots?

Those who were injured lay on the ground moaning and groaning, and some even lost the strength to speak. There were many physically strong people among them, but what happened to them when they encountered this kind of situation? "People are too small.

, and you never know when an accident will happen. At this time, tell him that the people he knows are still in the whirlpool outside. Can you calm down?

Mrs. Shangguan stopped talking. Yun Da turned his head, as if he was going out to find someone.

Before he even took a step, an arm appeared in front of him blocking his way.

Song Yi listened to their infighting and wanted to ignore it, but seeing Shangguan Yunda's look of mindlessly dying, she thought better of it and stopped him.

"You stopped me too?"

"I'm just considering the current situation." Song Yi is not familiar with this group of people, but at this critical moment, familiarity or lack thereof is secondary. "There has been an uproar tonight. It remains to be determined whether it will calm down when the cloudy day comes and dawn.

The inn has sent many people, and the thugs and bodyguards brought by our other families have also followed. Which of them is not better than you, and can respond faster to danger than you? When you can't even guarantee your own safety, your

Running around will only increase casualties."

Don't worry if he is not found by then, if he gets injured again, he will have to find someone to carry him back on a stretcher.

"Then I want to go too." Shangguan Yunda pushed Song Yi's arm away.

But before Wen Da finished pushing, Song Yi had already grabbed his hand, clamped his arm behind his back with an anti-joint movement, and then pressed him face down on the back of the wicker sofa in the lobby.

"Hey, hey, don't do it, don't do it, just say it!" Mrs. Shangguan shouted as she ran over, her eyes falling on her son. She originally thought that this girl from the Song family was just tall and active, but she didn't expect it.

He is actually still a practicing master.

"What do you want to do?" Shangguan Yunda asked. He was suddenly restrained, and he didn't really react. At this moment, he subconsciously tried to break free.

"I told you, calm down." Song Yi usually doesn't take action, but if the other person is irrational, she doesn't mind doing a little bit to help him calm down.

"No matter how noisy you are at night, you can be heard in the backyard." Yan Yutao walked through the corridor and came to the inn lobby.

As soon as he made a sound, Song Yi, who was originally trying to restrain Shangguan Yunda, was distracted. Without removing the strength from his hand, without paying attention, he twisted the joints of Shangguan Yunda's arm out of position. With a click.

, Yun Da cried out in pain.

Song Yi came back to his senses, saw that something was wrong, and immediately reattached his arm joint. Then Wen Da groaned in pain again, with the word "suffering" written on his face.

After the joint was reattached, Song Yidang let go and even took a step back. Shangguan's wife hurried up to check her son's injury. If he was injured because of some unimportant person, it would be unworthy!

The action scenes between the two of them were very refreshing. Not to mention Shangguan Wenda himself, everyone else present was poked when they saw it.

Yan Yutao clicked his tongue twice and touched his arm: "This is...exercise!" There was still a bit of joking in his words.

Shangguan Yunda didn't like him very much, and because of the pain in his arm, he ignored him and his temper showed on his face. Song Yi also had a polite and distant attitude, and they were not familiar with each other.

Yan Yutao was indifferent to the two of them, and then glanced at Jiao Jiao's mother and daughter, "Didn't you go shopping? Why are you still crying?" He was so happy when he went out.

Unlike the others, Jiao Jiao saw him for the first time, and he didn't know what was going on in the arrow house. He thought he was a kind brother from some family, so he was naturally unprepared for him: "I lost the person..."

"Lost? Who lost it? How could it be lost?" Yan Yutao continued to ask.

"It's all lost~" It was probably because he thought about everything tonight, and felt extremely guilty, which oppressed Jiao Jiao's already weak psychological defense. After finally calming down, the other person's words made her cry again.

"Is...really like this?" Yan Yutao said this to Xiao Xiyuan. At the same time, he turned a blind eye to Jiao Jiao's crying.

Xiao Xiyuan has always adhered to the creed of not offending each other. In fact, it was true that the Jianye family members disappeared during the riot, so she would not deliberately hide it.

Her expression showed a lot of fatigue and melancholy: "There was a riot in the street, and we were all separated. It was hard to bring three of them back."

"Then my aunt and Miss Cao also..."

Seeing the other party shaking his head slightly, Yan Yutao's expression immediately changed, and his eyes flickered, probably digesting the excessive amount of information. He put his hands on his waist and began to pace back and forth, his face darkening little by little.

Xiao Xiyuan looked at Yan Yutao's series of actions and began to have questions in her heart. One was his attitude, and the other was the meaning of his words. Therefore, Xiao Xiyuan suspected that his eagerness was an act.

Thinking about it, she knew that a group of people were going out and was so accurate that they almost arrived at the lobby at the right time. If Yan Yutao knew nothing about the external situation, she would not believe it.

Thinking of this, she saw that Yan Yutao was finally willing to stop, as if he had thought of a countermeasure.

His expression softened a little, and then he said to Xiao Xiyuan: "Do you think this can work? I still have some people on hand. Let them go out to search with the inn. With more people and more effort, the coverage will be wider, and the probability of finding them will be higher."

Just bigger.”

Yan Yutao's move convinced Xiao Xiyuan of his intention.

If he had brought too many people at the beginning, everyone would have doubted the other party's intention, become wary, or even turn him away. So he made a detour. Now, in this situation, manpower is needed the most, and he paved the way for it.

I had so many emotions just for the words 'good intentions and good intentions'.

If you refuse, it means that the people at Zhengyin Inn have ulterior motives and will be resentful; if you accept, it is no different than opening the door and inviting the thief in for tea.

Regarding Cao Yuyan, Yan Yutao's purpose was very clear, and Xiao Xiyuan saw it.

But Xiao Xiyuan was still too young after all.

With no one to guide her, she didn't think of a complete solution in advance. And because the ghost in the inn was smuggling drugs to disturb her mind, she had to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall, disrupting the original plan, and he took advantage of every opportunity. At this moment, she was directly

Yan Yutao stood there, unable to advance or retreat.

However, Yan Yutao did not give Xiao Xiyuan too much time to think about it, and made the decision for her: "Time waits for no one, I will call my men and ask them to disperse immediately to find the person."

"Going to find someone" and "going out to find someone" have similar meanings, but there are subtle differences. According to common sense, the subordinates will not be too far away from their masters.

In other words, the group of people was not far outside the inn. What was more subtle was that Xiao Xiyuan did not receive any news about Yan Yutao's group of people while they were around the inn.

Twice, twice in a row...

It seems that there is really a big problem with the inn's 'eyes'.
