Chapter 97: Following Like a Shadow (1)
From the moment she got on the carriage, Yinyin never looked outside and sat quietly in the carriage. It was more like the opposite than quiet, because she didn't know what this journey meant, whether she could return to the place where her relatives were, the only place she could call "home". People say that the most painful thing in time is "separation from life and death", but now she has experienced both, separation from her relatives, and possible separation from the person who is most important to her. However, separation from life is always better than separation from death, and if missed, it can never be recovered. So Yinyin didn't want to rush to that person immediately as she did at the beginning, but set out on the journey after saying goodbye one after another. Now Yinyin can only say that it is a farewell to the living, she doesn't know whether it is short or long. At least, she has said goodbye to the people she cares about. Even if it is the last farewell, she feels that there is no regret in this trip, and she finally has an explanation.
Sitting in the carriage, Yin Yin has been immersed in her own world, completely forgetting the passage of time, and there is no need to worry about the itinerary and safety issues. The destination is [Xu State], and the guards accompanying them are all elite guards carefully selected by Zhou Cheng. Fortunately, the group is relatively low-key and not very conspicuous. Due to time constraints , they are in a hurry, but they will still take a break occasionally on the way; after all, it is not a trip. There are more than ten men in the group, and only Yin Yin is a woman. But there is no need to worry about anything, because these people are loyal and righteous people who will never betray or be suspicious. In fact, in addition to the dozen people who follow Yin Yin on the surface, there are some who follow secretly. This is also to be foolproof. It can be said that it is overprotection.
For Yinyin, who was immersed in her thoughts, the shaking of the carriage did not affect her at all. However, when she was awakened from her deep thoughts...
"Miss, we will rest here tonight, and I came here to ask for your advice."
An escort spoke outside the carriage. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but clear and loud, bringing Yin Yin back to her senses. Yin Yin was stunned for a moment, then she opened the curtain of the carriage. Night had fallen, and the group stopped in front of an inn...
"Well, here it is."
"yes!"
As she spoke, Yinyin lowered the curtain and stood up to get off the carriage. Another guard had already opened the curtain. Yinyin walked out of the carriage, stepped over the footstool, walked to the ground, and looked around. This seemed to be a small town. The inn in front of her was not big, but it was also exquisite. Yinyin said nothing and walked into the inn under the guidance of the guard. When Yinyin walked into the inn, the originally sparsely populated inn immediately became agitated. First, they were amazed at Yinyin's beauty, and then they were shocked by the momentum of Yinyin's accompanying guards and fell silent...
"Waiter, are there any guest rooms here?"
An accompanying guard asked the waiter who was originally supposed to receive them but was stunned by the aura of Yin Yin and her group.
"Ah, yes, yes. How many rooms do you want?"
The waiter, who was called back to his senses, was frightened and asked cautiously.
"One of the best guest rooms and two side rooms."
"Okay, okay, please follow me--"
Fortunately, the guard who asked the questions was normal except for his cold appearance. The waiter did not dare to be negligent and hurried to lead the way. The group quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Under the arrangement of the waiter, Yinyin entered a guest room with fairly good decoration...
"I wonder if this lady is satisfied?"
No matter how ignorant the waiter was, he knew that the superior room was prepared for Yin Yin, so he asked carefully. Judging from the demeanor of Yin Yin and her group, it was as if his life might be in danger if he was not satisfied.
Yin Yin just glanced around and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
After hearing Yin Yin's voice, the waiter, who was already shocked by Yin Yin's beauty, was stunned again. It was not that he was not afraid of Yin Yin's guards, but he had never seen someone as beautiful as Yin Yin, so he lost his mind again without paying attention.
"Then what would you like to eat for dinner, young lady? I'll ask the waiter to prepare it for you."
The accompanying guard asked with concern.
"Whatever."
"Yes! Then please have a good rest first, Miss."
"Um."
After the consultation, the accompanying guard turned around and left, and the waiter tactfully followed him out of Yin Yin's room. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he hesitated for a moment. When everyone left Yin Yin's room, the door was immediately closed. Two guards naturally stood on the left and right of the door to guard it. The title of "Miss" was used to conceal her identity.
In the room, Yin Yin sat on the stool beside the table, thinking about leaving [Zhao Ren Mansion]. Time seemed to pass very quickly, and when she reacted, she was already here. Yin Yin vaguely remembered that she seemed to have stopped along the way, but she had no memory of it at all. Just like now, Yin Yin fell into deep thought again, as if from the moment she embarked on the journey, she had completely forgotten the passage of time and the changes in the things around her, and her heart was already filled with all kinds of things.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing Yin Yin's thoughts back to reality. She looked in the direction of the wind and found that the window was blown open. After the breeze blew, Yin Yin returned to reality, stood up and walked to the window, put her hands on the windowsill, and looked outside. The whole small town was shrouded in lights, warm and peaceful. Feeling the breeze while looking at the scenery in front of her, Yin Yin, who had been in a heavy mood, suddenly felt enlightened. She found that she was too careless, so she smiled at herself.
