“It’s the three head enforcers of the East Factory. These eunuch dogs really think highly of us.”

Seeing this lineup, Tie Zhu couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

The East Factory has four head enforcers. Apart from the first-ranked head enforcer, the other three are all present. Among the three head enforcers, the oldest one is named Jia Ting, who is about fifty years old. His martial arts are no weaker than Qiu Moyan’s, and he is extremely cunning.

Upon entering the inn, Jia Ting saw Qiu Moyan and her group, and a sharp glint immediately flashed in his eyes. He curled his lips into a sinister smile and said, “You all look very familiar. May I ask where you’re from and where you’re going?”

Tie Zhu’s face flushed with anger, and he was about to erupt, but Qiu Moyan quickly gave him a look, suppressing him.

At the moment, he could only let out an unwilling cold snort: “Hmph, where we go, what concern is it of yours?”

Jia Ting didn’t get angry. He chuckled and said, “My friend, there’s no need to get angry. I have no other intentions.” Then he continued, “To be honest, we are traveling merchants, and the journey has not been very peaceful. Seeing how heroic and extraordinary you all are, and carrying weapons, your martial arts must be exceptional. So, I’d like to invite a few of you to serve as escorts for a while. What do you think?”

“Not interested!”

Tie Zhu replied gruffly, the scar on his face twisting even more grotesquely.

If Qiu Moyan hadn’t secretly stopped him, he would have already picked up his broadsword and chopped off this man’s dog head.

“I’m full. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

He then added, and immediately turned and went upstairs. Clearly, he knew he was a crude man, and not good at such sarcastic wordplay. To avoid saying the wrong thing and causing trouble, he simply left, out of sight, out of mind.

As soon as Tie Zhu left, the others also found excuses and followed him upstairs.

Upon reaching their rooms and checking, they found someone missing.

Tie Zhu said, “Mr. Ye didn’t come up. He’s still drinking downstairs.”

Zhao Yuan said, “He wouldn’t betray us to the eunuchs, would he?”

Tie Zhu said, “He shouldn’t. Mr. Ye isn’t that kind of person.”

Qiu Moyan said, “Don’t guess wildly. Actually, it makes no difference whether he betrays us or not. The East Factory people have already recognized us.”

Tie Zhu frowned and said, “Impossible. If they recognized us, why didn’t they act?”

Qiu Moyan said, “These people probably want to stall us, waiting for the eunuch army to arrive.”

Zhao Yuan exclaimed in alarm, “Then what are we still doing here? Waiting to die? Let’s hurry up and leave.”

“Leave? They’re right outside. Where can we go?”

Qiu Moyan said in a deep voice, “If we leave now, we’ll be chased and gradually picked off, just like before. The only solution now is to wait for Zhou Huai’an to arrive. As soon as he’s here, we’ll seize the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.”

He Hu said, “Wait, wait, until when? If Zhou Huai’an doesn’t come, are we just going to wait here to die?”

Qiu Moyan said, “Zhou Huai’an and I agreed to meet at Dragon Gate Inn tonight. If he doesn’t come, it won’t be too late for us to leave then.”

Tie Zhu made the decision, “Alright, Big Boss Moyan, I trust you.”

Downstairs, in the main hall.

Ye Qingfeng remained calm and composed, meticulously picking meat off a leg with a small knife, eating meat, and drinking wine, completely at ease.

Jia Ting glanced at Ye Qingfeng, leaned over, and asked, “Young brother, you look very unfamiliar. Are you friends with them?”

Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, “We met on the road. You could say we’re half-friends.”

Jia Ting asked with a smile, “Oh? Is there anything worth knowing? Can you tell me?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly and retorted, “Do you have wine?”

Jia Ting was a bit confused, but still had the waiter bring a jar of good wine.

Ye Qingfeng was not polite, directly breaking the seal. Immediately, the rich aroma of wine wafted out, intoxicating.

“Good wine!”

Ye Qingfeng took a big gulp and laughed heartily, “The world’s winds and clouds emerge from our generation, once in the jianghu, time urges on. Imperial ambitions and grand schemes are discussed with laughter, but they cannot surpass a single drunken night in the human world. Elder brother is truly polite. Just for this jar of wine, I’ll offer you a good piece of advice: where you came from, go back there. Otherwise, travelers in the desert are like a tide, buried in yellow sand with no one to return, dying in a foreign land, which would be rather unpleasant.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Ting’s expression changed dramatically. He then carefully scrutinized Ye Qingfeng several times, but couldn’t make heads or tails of him.

However, he was extremely experienced in the jianghu and knew that Ye Qingfeng was definitely not an ordinary person, he just couldn’t see through him. Since he couldn’t see through him, he couldn’t gauge him, and since he couldn’t gauge him, he was wary of acting rashly.

At that moment, he cupped his hands towards Ye Qingfeng and said, “This old man has learned a lesson.”

After speaking, he no longer continued the conversation, but pondered silently to himself.

Cao Tian, another enforcer standing beside him, asked, “Head Enforcer Jia, why didn’t you let us act just now?”

Jia Ting said, “Our target isn’t these small fry. Even if we kill them all, what good would that do? We just need to stall them and wait for Zhou Huai’an to appear. Then, Lord Shaoqin will naturally bring troops to capture them all in one fell swoop.”

Cao Tian nodded upon hearing this, feeling it made perfect sense.

Jia Ting fell silent again, only occasionally glancing at Ye Qingfeng, wondering what he was thinking.

Before long, night fell, and oil lamps were lit in the inn.

The East Factory people had already gone upstairs.

0··Requesting fresh flowers····

In the main hall, Ye Qingfeng was still pouring and drinking for himself, the wine in the jar almost at the bottom.

The weather in the desert changes in an instant. Just now it was calm, but in a flash, a fierce wind roared, followed by a heavy downpour, mixed with hail. Under the onslaught of the hail, the entire inn felt as if it was on the verge of collapsing.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Just then, a knock was heard, followed by someone pushing open the door and entering.

Ye Qingfeng’s eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his lips. He muttered to himself, “The protagonist has finally arrived.”

The newcomer was about thirty years old, with bright, piercing eyes. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but he exuded a heroic aura.

This person was none other than the protagonist of this world, Zhou Huai’an, the chief instructor of the 800, 000 Imperial Guards.

Seeing only one person sitting alone and drinking in the inn, Zhou Huai’an’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He asked, “Brother, is the innkeeper here?”

…………………，·

Ye Qingfeng said, “The innkeeper has gone to rest. The person you’re looking for is in Room A upstairs.”

Upon hearing this, a subtle glint of sharpness flashed in Zhou Huai’an’s eyes. He asked with a smile, “How does brother know I’m looking for someone?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled without speaking, still meticulously savoring his wine.

Zhou Huai’an frowned slightly, feeling puzzled. He only felt that the person in front of him was enveloped in a mysterious aura, exuding a strange air that made him inscrutable. Afterwards, he didn’t say much more and went straight upstairs, clearly not wanting to have too much contact with Ye Qingfeng. This was because, in front of Ye Qingfeng, he felt a strange sensation of being completely exposed.

Upon reaching the upper floor, he entered the room and met with Qiu Moyan and the others.

Zhou Huai’an asked, “You’ve all arrived. Did you encounter any unexpected events on the way?”

Qiu Moyan said, “There was nothing on the way here, and rescuing the people went smoothly. We also killed dozens of East Factory eunuchs. It’s just a pity that these eunuch dogs have such keen noses and have already tracked us to the inn. If it weren’t for waiting for you, we would have left already.”

Zhou Huai’an said, “These people are just the vanguard, nothing to worry about.” He paused slightly, then asked, “When I just arrived, I met someone downstairs. Do you know him?”

Tie Zhu said, “You mean Mr. Ye? He’s one of us.”

Then, he recounted the entire story of their encounter with Ye Qingfeng.

After listening, Zhou Huai’an couldn’t help but frown deeply, feeling that the turn of events was somewhat unexpected. It wasn’t supposed to develop this way according to his plan, and this feeling of losing control made him extremely uncomfortable. However, he was very shrewd and didn’t show it. He only said, “This person’s origins are unknown. There can be no mistakes in our mission, so try to minimize contact with him.”
