"Are you guys here for a promotion or to stay in a hotel?" The surroundings of the West Lake had always been the most prosperous region, and there were never a small number of rich and powerful merchants. Seeing them walk in, the waiter naturally did not panic and greeted them with a question.
Zhao Baiyi said, "Stay here." How many rooms do you have left? "
The waiter said, "Aiyo, you've come at the right time. I just checked out three rooms and cleaned them up."
"Three?" Zhao Baiyi frowned, "What about the other rooms?"
The waiter laughed and said, "They just left a group of people. There are about 20 or so of them. "Other than these three rooms, there's also an entire courtyard available at the back. A dozen people should be more than enough."
Zhao Baiyi turned his head to look at Zhao Qingyan, who had already found a place to sit. "Yun Mo?"
Zhao Qingyan said, "Let's do it here. Someone left this room especially for us. Other than this place, there is probably no other place. "
Zhao Baiyi also knew that it was already good enough for him to have a nice place to stay this late. Seeing that Zhao Qingyan seemed to be waiting for the dishes to arrive, he decided, "Alright, then let us have the three best rooms and the yard. If we stay here for ten days, we might not eat here at all." Waving his hands, the guard behind him took out a few silver notes and called for the waiter. During such a lively time, the tavern's price was naturally very high, and Zhao Baiyi also gave him more than enough.
The waiter took it and asked with a smile, "Guests, what would you like to eat? The kitchen is ready to be made. It's very fast. "
Seeing that Zhao Qingyan did not have any reaction, Zhao Baiyi said, "Just look at what's coming. Let's have a few jars of good wine."
The waiter said, "We have quite a bit of wine here. What kind of wine do you want, sir?"
Zhao Baiyi said, "I heard your lamb wine is pretty good, so I came to three pots of it."
The waiter said, "Alright, please wait for a moment."
"What is it? "Uncomfortable?" Zhao Baiyi sat down across from Zhao Qingyan and scrutinized his expression. "You look listless."
Zhao Qingyan said, "I might be a little tired. I'll go take a rest later."
Zhao Baiyi said, "Three rooms, then you and Hao will be in one room, I will be in one room, and Jiang Zhen will be in another room?"
Zhao Qingyan asked, "I heard from Ninth Uncle that there are still a few people here who are here to protect us. You don't need to give them a room? "
Zhao Baiyi said, "Don't we still have a yard? We can just let them squeeze in. There's not enough space to talk about it. "
Looking at the four tables full of guards, Zhao Qingyan could not help but smile bitterly, "In the end, so many people have come." "Normally, second brother would often run out by himself. I would often stroll around with Hao Wen, but I didn't see Royal Father or Ninth Uncle worried."
Zhao Baiyi smiled mischievously. "Perhaps it's because Fourth Uncle is worried that a few young talents who admire Lady Mu will come out and beat you up, so he intentionally brought out eight of his best guards to accompany you. Adding on the three guards that Thirteenth Uncle sent, I felt pity for the three people that Royal Father had only given me. "Tsk tsk."
Zhao Qingyan rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "I came here specifically to accompany Second Brother. Isn't it better to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
Zhao Baiyi said, "I've never crossed the river …" Before he could finish his words, there was a loud sound of something being smashed on top of his head. After a slight pause, a few more light sounds rang out, followed by a wave of irregular sounds.
"What is that sound?" Zhao Baiyi was shocked. He raised his head and looked at the beam.
Zhao Qingyan also looked up and asked, "Is there a fight?"
The waiter, who was also shocked, quickly said, "I'll go upstairs to take a look. Guests, please take a seat." He turned around and ran upstairs.

"Open the door? What about you? Open the door? " The waiter heard the incessant sounds of fighting from inside, but he didn't answer. Seeing that the door wasn't closed, he gritted his teeth and walked in.
"This …"
What entered his eyes could no longer be described as a "mess". From tables, chairs, cabinets, to the bedding on the bed, everything had been destroyed so that no one could see what had happened. What was even more terrifying was the hole in the ground and the hole left in the wall by something. The waiter complained in his heart as he hesitated over whether he should pull the two fighters away from him.
Fortunately, the two of them noticed that there was one more person in the room. They threw down the table and the legs in their hands and took a few steps back.
Bai Zhen leaned against the wall and forced himself to stand. He looked at his own sleeve that had been torn in half, glanced at the bruises on his wrist, then looked at the clean and undamaged white robe on his body. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. Look at how badly you've broken it! I've only worn it twice, don't you know? "
"What are you yelling about? It's just a piece of torn clothes, can't I just compensate you? Don't shout, is it enough for Young Master to accompany you for ten tasks? " Wen Lun ignored his image and sat on the ground in a mess. He grinned and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. Looking at the blood on the back of his hand, he became even more dissatisfied. Look, it's bleeding! Why are you so shameless? You want me to slap him in his face? "
Bai Zhen casually smashed his fist against the wall to express his dissatisfaction, but his hand, which was already injured, was injured even more severely. He could not help but take in a breath of cold air. I'm allowed to hit you, but you won't let me punch you twice? "
When Wen Lun saw his miserable appearance, he burst out laughing. "Look at you, it hurts so much that you can forget about it." "Look at your hand. The elbow I ate yesterday was exactly the same."
Bai Zhen cursed in an unyielding manner, "Look at your swollen face, it looks just like a pig's head hanging from a hook!"
Wen Lun stared at him. "Look at you, your hair is disheveled, and you look ugly."
Bai Zhen looked at his unbound hair and said angrily, "Then look down at you. Your clothes are already open. How is it proper to reveal your breasts to others?"
Wen Lun pulled on his clothes and shouted, "Who is shameless enough to grab my clothes?"
Bai Zhen curled his lips, "Who would want to capture the clothes of a grown man like you? I don't know who was so shameless as to pull my hair. "
Wen Lun's face was filled with disdain. "I could tell that you had no rules. You didn't know that you had put your hair back when you went out. In the end, you dispersed on your own."
Bai Zhen replied without any trace of politeness, "That's right. That's still better than not tidying up your own clothes and dispersing with just a few leaps."
Wen Lun rolled his eyes. "Same here."
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, fearing that they would continue, the waiter hurriedly interjected, "Second Young Master, what are you all doing?"
Wen Lun asked snappily, "Can't you see? We were arguing. "Look, look at how I was beaten up by him."
Bai Zhen let out a heavy "hmph" sound, "Your Young Master actually dared to attack me. Look at my clothes, these are my favorite few items."
Wen Lun said, "I only know how to feel sorry for those few pieces of rag, but Young Master, my face isn't worth more than those things?"
Bai Zhen laughed coldly, "That's why I didn't rip off your face."
Wen Lun shakily stood up and asked, "Do you want to fight?"
Bai Zhen raised his chin. "Come! Look at you. Try taking two steps? "
Wen Lun was at a loss for words. He could only reply with a snort of laughter and turn his head away.
When Bai Ju saw that he had been defeated, he smiled complacently, "Second Young Master Wen, since you beat up a guest who came to stay the night like this, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Huh?" Wen Lun looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "Guest?" Did you pay? "
Bai Zhen tidied up his clothes and took out a neatly arranged stack of silver notes from his chest pocket. He signalled to Wen Lun before waving his hand for the waiter who was standing by the door to come over, "Come, this is the compensation for the destroyed items in this house. See if it's enough."
Wen Lun also took out the remaining half of his banknotes and counted them. He looked around and said, "Come on, I've paid for it. Look carefully on the ground. There's still quite a bit left."
When he raised his head, he saw Bai Zhen replying with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, "Second Young Master Wen, your brain didn't get beaten up by a mere me, did it? This is your inn, don't you have the silver that's been rearranged on your account? "Are you prepared to pay for yourself and save a few cents for your account book?"
Wen Lun's face turned slightly red. He stubbornly said, "This is an inn under my elder brother's name. I don't want my elder brother to spend money."
Bai Zhen clicked his tongue twice and asked, "Weren't you the one who had stolen and sold your brother, Pei Yu, for a few steamed buns?"
When Wen Lun saw that he was about to expose the embarrassing events of his childhood, he quickly said, "Fine, I was wrong. Let me compensate you, alright?"
Bai Zhen rubbed his wrist and said, "Forget it. Considering your youth and ignorance, I will not bother with you."
When Wen Lun saw the bruises on his wrist, he remembered the pain on his body. He decisively looked at the waiter and said, "Go buy two sets of ready-made clothes. Then call the two teachers over."
Bai Zhen slowly corrected him, "Call the doctor over first, just one will do."
Wen Lun no longer bickered with Bai Zhen and said, "That's right, call one of them over. Hurry up and bring me another two basins of water."
The waiter took a peek at the horrible room and asked carefully, "Are we just going to call him here?"
Wen Lun said impatiently, "Aren't there any rooms left empty? It's good here, don't be so picky. The one on duty at the medicine store opposite us should be someone who has been following my father since he was young, so he's not afraid of them talking too much. And you, don't talk nonsense. "
The waiter promised repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. This servant will definitely not speak carelessly. Young master, you can rest assured."
Wen Lun looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"
The waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course it's true. How could I dare to use these kinds of words to speak randomly?"
Bai Ju saw that Wen Lun was going to be long-winded, so he said to the waiter, "Alright, let's not bother about him anymore. Go and find one or two people with a serious face to help us clean up here. Bring two pots of water over here, we can at least wash our faces first. "
Seeing him speak, the waiter finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed. He then ran out, afraid that Wen Lun would issue another order.
After the waiter left, Wen Lun was no longer angry. He licked the blood from the corner of his lips and said, "My apologies."
Bai Zhen tilted his head and looked at him with a smile. "You're licking the blood and fiercely apologizing to me. Why do I have a very bad feeling about this?"
Wen Lun was startled and then laughed. "I was in a bad mood before and I just wanted to beat him up. After beating him up, I was already comfortable. You don't need to feel bad about it."
Bai Zhen looked at him with a spurious smile. "Are you sure you want to beat him up, not get beaten up? I remember you always had to be beaten up by me before you could get over it. "
Wen Lun said angrily, "Isn't that because I can't beat you?" Otherwise, what do you think I trained so hard for? "
Bai Zhen shook his head with a sincere expression on his face. "I don't know. After all, if I hadn't let you off, you would have been defeated in three to five moves by me."
Wen Lun could not help but laugh. "Three to five moves?" Are you sure I'm not good enough? "
Bai Zhen also laughed. "I'm not too sure about that."
The two of them smiled at each other and ended the bickering.
Wen Lun simply lay down on the ground. Bai Zhen stuck close to the wall and slid down onto the ground. He quietly adjusted his breathing, waiting for the doctor to come over.
