Chapter 481: 9 Junior Brother Has Been Kidnapped Again (44)
Inn
As soon as Xu Xianchen packed her bag and opened the door, she met Meng Yanjun who had also packed her bag and was about to go out.
Xu Xianchen didn't know that he had made an appointment with Meng Yanjun to go to Yucheng together, and thought that Meng Yanjun was leaving, so he asked anxiously: "Brother Meng, where are you going?"
Meng Yanjun was naturally planning to go to Yucheng with Xu Xianchen. He had just heard the sound of Xu Xianchen packing his bags, and subconsciously followed suit.
Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen, who obviously didn't remember what they talked about that night. Reason told him that he should take this opportunity to draw a clear line and continue to be his lone ranger.
But Meng Yanjun's mouth was no longer under his control, "We made an appointment that night to go to Yucheng together, don't you remember?"
Xu Xianchen didn't expect that he could be so capable when he was drunk. He was worrying about what excuse he could find to get Meng Yanjun to accompany him to Yucheng.
Xu Xianchen's happiness was beyond words. "Remember, remember, then Brother Meng, let's go!"
Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen's back and suddenly felt that it would be a good idea if there was someone willing to join him in doing justice.
Xu Xianchen rode his horse absentmindedly, his mind full of thoughts about how to find out about Meng Yanjun's private affairs.
Meng Yanjun saw that Xu Xianchen's horse's hoof was about to be tripped by a stone, and Xu Xianchen looked like he was in a trance. In desperation, Meng Yanjun could only pull Xu Xianchen's reins to stop the horse.
But Xu Xianchen's hand was also on the reins, so Meng Yanjun not only held the reins, but also held Xu Xianchen's hand.
Xu Xianchen had already been shocked back to his senses by the sudden incident, and now he stared blankly at Meng Yanjun holding his hand.
Meng Yanjun let go of her hand and said, "Be careful."
Xu Xianchen looked at the back of his hand and nodded.
Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen's absent-minded appearance, fearing that he could not continue on his journey, and suggested: "Mr. Xu, how about we take a rest here?"
Xu Xianchen finally reacted, "Brother Meng, stop calling me Master Xu. Just call me Xianchen. If you're not used to it, you can call me Xiaoqi."
Meng Yanjun asked in confusion: "Xiao Qi?"
Xu Xianchen explained: "I am ranked seventh in the sect, and my fellow disciples all call me Little Seven."
Meng Yanjun tied the reins to the tree and said, "I see."
Xu Xianchen felt that this was a good opportunity to ask a few questions, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Brother Meng, who is your master?"
Meng Yanjun paused as he took off his veil and said, "I don't have a master."
Xu Xianchen nodded and continued to ask, "What is the purpose of Brother Meng's visit to Yucheng?"
Meng Yanjun used the same excuse as that night, "I'm going to Yucheng to do some things."
Xu Xianchen couldn't ask any more, mainly because he was afraid that if he continued asking, Meng Yanjun would take the opportunity to ask him what he was doing in Yucheng. He didn't want Meng Yanjun to know that he was going to kill someone, even though the person he killed was a notorious bandit who deserved his punishment.
Meng Yanjun actually wanted to ask Xu Xianchen what he was going to do in Yucheng, but when he thought about what he was going to do, he didn't say a word. He was also afraid that Xu Xianchen would continue to ask, and he didn't want to lie to Xu Xianchen.
Xu Xianchen didn't say anything else. He was thinking about serious matters. He had stayed in the inn for three days in order to scout the area in advance. The bandit would always leave a note before committing a crime.
The place where the bandit committed the crime this time was Yucheng Nan's house.
The inn was a must-go place on the way to Yucheng. Xu Xianchen originally wanted to wait for the bandit in the inn, but after meeting Meng Yanjun, Xu Xianchen changed his mind and decided to wait in the Nan family in advance.

Yucheng Yuelai Inn
"Boss, two upper rooms."
The innkeeper replied with some embarrassment: "I am very sorry, my two guests, but we only have one upper room left."
Meng Yanjun waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, then one room upstairs and one room downstairs."
The innkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "My two guests, I mean that there is only one upper room left in our inn. It is fully occupied. This upper room was just checked out by two guests this morning."
Xu Xianchen looked at Meng Yanjun, "Brother Meng, shall we change to another inn?"
Just as Meng Yanjun was about to nod, the innkeeper interrupted and said, "Even if you two go somewhere else, it may be the same."
Xu Xianchen asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
The innkeeper answered enthusiastically, "You two guests are obviously from other places, right? These days is the most grand Lantern Festival in Yucheng, and many outsiders come here to see the grand scene, so the inn is almost full."
Meng Yanjun took out some money and said, "In that case, please help us get a room upstairs."
The innkeeper took the money and said, "Okay, Xiao Si'er, take the two guests upstairs."
After the waiter left, Xu Xianchen and Meng Yanjun looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Finally, Xu Xianchen spoke first, "Brother Meng, this bed is very spacious, how about we each take half?"
Xu Xianchen was afraid that Meng Yanjun would refuse, so he added, "The room fee is paid by Brother Meng. If Brother Meng doesn't agree to this, then I can only sleep on the floor."
Xu Xianchen had said this, what else could Meng Yanjun say? She could only nod in agreement.
Although the two had reached an agreement, there were still many inconveniences.
The first thing is to take a bath, which is relatively easy. In the end, two people take turns to take a bath, while the other one guards outside the door.
But when it comes time to go to bed, it becomes really difficult.
There was only one quilt on the bed. I asked the waiter at the inn, and he said there were no extra beddings at the moment.
Xu Xianchen once again suggested that they each take half, but when they really lay down on the bed together, Xu Xianchen realized that half each was just a wishful thinking, because the quilt was not big enough to cover two people.
Unless he and Meng Yanjun hugged each other tightly, the quilt could not cover two people at all.
Meng Yanjun made a prompt decision and gave the quilt to Xu Xianchen. Xu Xianchen naturally wanted to refuse, but with Meng Yanjun's words, "Xiaoqi, be obedient," Xu Xianchen was speechless.
Xu Xianchen fell asleep with a nervous and excited heart.
After hearing Xu Xianchen's steady breathing, Meng Yanjun opened his eyes and looked helplessly at Xu Xianchen's legs wrapped around him. He was so restless even in his sleep, no wonder he was so clingy when drunk.
