After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 463 Longmen Inn

In the number one room of Longmen Inn.

Bai Qingyun sat quietly inside, drinking the milk tea brought by the waiter, thinking about everything that had happened since he entered the inn.

The inn's business is really good. Even though it's not meal time, the lobby is full of people.

As soon as Bai Qingyun, a little girl, entered, she attracted the attention of the crowd. The originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

The shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus on the counter. The sound of the abacus beads colliding suddenly rang out in the quiet lobby. He looked up and saw Bai Qingyun standing at the door.

The morning glow sprinkled on Bai Qingyun's back, covering her seemingly small body in golden light.

The shopkeeper looked at her, or to be more precise, he looked at her and saw the warm jade hanging on her chest.

He hurriedly walked out of the counter to greet her, saying lovingly and helplessly, "Why did you come here by yourself, kid? Didn't I tell you to stay at home and take good care of your grandpa?"

As he spoke, he bowed slightly and apologized to everyone, "I'm really sorry, everyone. This is the child of a distant relative of mine. Please continue, haha, continue."

He quickly took Bai Qingyun's hand and went to the room upstairs. Just as he turned around and closed the door, he glanced at the waiter who was following him.

Bai Qingyun couldn't see the shopkeeper's shrewd eyes, but he could see the waiter's reaction clearly.

Therefore, the waiter is also from Wei Xi.

No wonder the man looked a little dazed when he was at the door.

The shopkeeper turned around and saluted respectfully towards Bai Qingyun, then stood up and said, "Don't blame me, young lady. There are many strangers in Kyoto City now, and I lied in a hurry."

He was apologizing for lying in the inn lobby and saying he was a distant relative.

Bai Qingyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously and asked, "It's okay. Fortunately, the shopkeeper reacted quickly. I should thank him for his wit just now. The shopkeeper... knows my identity?"

She was testing the other party's status in Wei Xi's heart, and also testing how many people in Wei Xi knew her identity.

Even the leader of the secret service knew very little about her identity, and she was just an innkeeper, so she might not know it.

But what if? If we knew, the plan would be easier to carry out.

The shopkeeper just shook his head, stared at the warm jade and said, "I only need to know what this warm jade represents. The less you know about the rest, the better."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "It's just that... I've seen the person holding this jade before..."

Bai Qingyun knew that the other party was also testing him, but because of the person behind Nuan Yu, the other party was very cautious in his testing.

"She's injured."

"If you are worried, you can ask Twelve to come here and find out!"

According to Qin Ning's previous description, Twelve is the leader of these secret agents. Although he rarely shows up in person, the inn has channels to contact him if there are special needs.

The shopkeeper finally stepped back and told the waiter downstairs to bring some tea and snacks as a treat, and asked Bai Qingyun to wait patiently.

After all, it will take some time to report the leader's identity layer by layer.

And this is different from the usual way of delivering messages, he still has to contact his boss in person.

The shopkeeper was also a cautious person. The owner of Nuanyu rashly changed people and asked to meet the leader of the secret agents. If he believed it casually, all his efforts over the years would have been in vain.

Bai Qingyun drank the milk tea in his hand, listened to the faint sound of footsteps from next door, which was only revealed when the door was pushed open, and thought about something in his mind.

Twelve arrived much later than expected.

It was not until lunch time that Bai Qingyun, who was bored, lay on the bed and listened to the window of the room open and then quickly close. The air flow in the space changed slightly, bringing in some warmth from the sun outside.

Bai Qingyun finally opened his eyes, only to see someone he didn't expect.

"Qingyun, how are you?"

Wei Xi stood by the window and looked at her with a smile.

"Qinglan, long time no see!"

Bai Qingyun stood up quickly. Even this usually calm man was startled by the scene before him and staggered.

"Slower!"

Wei Xi hurried over to help her steady herself and walked towards the table.

Bai Qingyun was rarely stunned, and looked at Wei Xi's mouth opening and closing: "I'll ask Twelve to bring some food over. You must be hungry after waiting for a long time. We can eat and talk at the same time."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door. If one looked carefully, one could discern a pattern to the knocks.

Twelve walked in, followed by the waiter from before, holding several exquisite dishes in his hands.

The two of them quickly laid out the dishes, bowed and left.

But Bai Qingyun knew that there was someone standing guard at the door of the room.

Wei Xi handed the bowl and chopsticks to Bai Qingyun and said, "Although the dishes at Longmen Inn are not as delicious as yours, they are also made with great care. Come and try them."

Bai Qingyun took the chopsticks and silently picked up a piece of steamed fish. The fish was fresh and tender, without any fishy smell, but with a bit of fragrance.

“It tastes good.”

Wei Xi smiled throughout the meal, even when she was eating, her lips were raised: "Yeah, but I still like the braised food you make. Even simple noodles can be made into different flavors..."

Wei Xi talked eloquently, and his words and eyes were full of longing for the time in Qujiang County.

Bai Qingyun knew that she really yearned for it in her heart, but they all knew that it was difficult for her to live such a simple life now that she was bound by her royal status.

After all, she couldn't bear it and interrupted softly, "You shouldn't have come. Now the capital city is full of people watching, and things could change at any time. You should stay in the imperial city and control the overall situation."

Wei Xi sighed softly: "I know, but the people below said that the person coming was a little girl, and Twelve guessed that it might be you who came here, and I... was in a hurry..."

She also knew that at this critical moment, if she was not careful, her plan would fail, and her life, the fate of the Han family, and all the forces behind her would be doomed.

But she couldn't help it...

She didn't know why, but whenever she heard any news about Bai Qingyun, she felt inexplicably at ease.

It may also be that she is the only person who can save her when she is seriously injured, giving her a unique sense of security.

She even analyzed it carefully when she returned to Kyoto, and realized that no matter who she met, she would definitely die.

She was able to survive only because that person was her.

Emotionally, she relies on this rare friend.

Rationally speaking, she is a person who possesses a rare treasure and it is not something that he can just spy on.

As for the medicine that can heal your wounds in the short term, those...are not important anymore.

As long as she supports her, that's enough!
