Long Rui glared fiercely at Zi Xia, then turned and walked downstairs.
Zi Xia shrank back a bit, oh my! The Prince is too frightening.
Afterward, they went to the counter to settle the bill.
The waiter hesitantly made a request, hoping they would compensate with so silver to repair the inn’s windows; otherwise, he couldn’t explain to the shopkeeper when he returns.
Long Rui promptly took out ten taels of silver from his bosom, saying, "These silver aside from the rent and als, the rest can be used to fix the windows!"
Upon seeing so much silver, the waiter was overjoyed, unable to conceal the smile on his face.
Indeed, Long Rui and his entourage, including the carriage driver, were only five people; rent and als cost less than five taels of silver.
Long Rui casually handed over ten taels of silver, while repairing windows was just a matter of a hundred wen money or so, with more than four taels extra. It would be surprising if the waiter isn’t pleased — he earns only a few hundred wen money in a month, and several taels of silver in a year are beyond him.
After settling the bill, everyone grabbed their luggage and was about to leave the inn...
When suddenly, a commotion erupted outside, causing everyone to halt and look at each other...
Xuexue looked at Long Rui and said, "What is it again?"
Long Rui listened intently for a mont, frowned, and said, "Not sure, looks like the county magistrate is back again."
Long Yi: "He must know we’re from the War Prince’s Mansion and ca back to curry favor."
He had experienced this kind of situation before many tis.
Xuexue simply put down her bags, sat on a nearby stool, and sighed, "Oh! What a day, just stepping out brings so many twists and turns, looks like we aren’t leaving yet!"
Just then, a group of people rushed in from outside...
Leading them was the county magistrate, who had shed his previous timid deanor and now wore a proud smile, speaking sinisterly, "You suspects dare to impersonate people from the War Prince’s Mansion, it’s clear you’re tired of living."
With that, he waved his hand and shouted, "People! Arrest these suspects, take them back for a good beating; this is outrageous, how dare you impersonate the War Prince’s Mansion!"
A dozen governnt officials charged forward like wolves, aiming to capture Long Rui and his people.
The county magistrate’s change in attitude was too drastic, causing Xuexue to start doubting. How could a lowly seventh rank official have such audacity, not fearing the War Prince’s Mansion? Was soone directing him from behind?
With a clang, Long Yi drew his worn sword from his waist, blocked in front of Long Rui, and shouted loudly, "Let’s see who dares co forward!"
The officials had sparred with Long Yi before, knowing his martial skills were formidable, and dared not act rashly.
Seeing his n hesitating, the county magistrate was furious, kicked the official behind him, cursing, "Useless! Hurry up and capture these traitors?"
The county magistrate was angered, and the officials, also fearing, reluctantly charged forward with knives in hand...
"Ah!"
An official fiercely slashed towards Long Yi...
Long Yi raised his sword to block...
"Clang!"
The clash of knife and sword produced intense sparks.
Soon, the two were engaged in a fight, but after just a few moves, the official was wounded by Long Yi’s sword, collapsing in a pool of blood.
Imdiately, other fearless officials charged forward with knives.
Seeing this, Zi Xia also put down her luggage, grabbed her weapon, and charged forward, joining the fray with the officials.
Inside the inn, blades and swords were flashing everywhere, terrifying the waiter who hid trembling beneath the counter, lanting his fate! He had finally found so peace managing the inn, why were so many troubles happening?
