782: Chapter 783 Promise (1)_1 782: Chapter 783 Promise (1)_1 Luo Xue was leading Nangong Yu northward, making their journey day and night, after experiencing thousands of hardships, they finally arrived at Yushu County.
In two or three more days, they could reach Qing County, which is closest to Lingbei.
Once over Tianlun Mountain, which separates Qing County from Lingbei, they would be in the territory of ng slaves.
At that ti, they would et Nangong Yi and need not be frightened anymore.
When they arrived at Yushu County, it was not yet completely dark.
Luo Xue wanted to go further, but Nangong Yu, who was frail and had traveled by a horse carriage for a day, was so tired that her little face turned pale.
Seeing her like this, Luo Xue had no choice but to change her mind and lodged at the best inn in Qing County, the ‘Ji Xiang Inn’.
Unfortunately, when they entered the inn, they bumped into a man who had just co out of the nearby casino.
The man’s na was Zhou Jinbao, and he was originally the son of Landlord Zhou of Zhou Family Village in Qingyun Town.
He had a hundred acres of good land and over a dozen houses.
If he had lived a peaceful life, he would be now Young Landlord Zhou.
Unfortunately, Zhou Jinbao had developed bad habits of gluttony, drinking, whoring, and gambling since he was a child.
After his miserly old dad died, he squandered his family’s wealth of thousands of Silver within a few years.
He sold his house and land and now in Yushu County, he does so petty thefts to get by.
Tonight, he ca out of the casino losing so capital and was very annoyed.
Seeing two young won with slender waist checking into the inn, Zhou Jinbao imdiately had malicious intent.
He gathered a few rascals with a plan to drug the two won, play with them for a few days and sell them once they got bored.
He thought that given the two won’s appearance, they could fetch up to a hundred or two hundred tael.
The thugs who usually hung around with Zhou Jinbao heard that there were won to play with and money to earn, they imdiately agreed.
After the plan was decided, they sneaked into the Ji Xiang Inn during the third watch of the night, ready to take action.
After waking up in alarm, Luo Xue woke up Nangong Yu, shoved a pill into her mouth, and also took a pill herself.
Then she took out her soft sword from her bag and hid behind the door.
On the couch, Nangong Yu was sitting in the corner, tightly hugging her knees.
Although she was scared, she did not panic.
From their journey from the capital to here, it was not the first ti they encountered such a situation.
Each ti, her sister Luo Xue had easily handled it.
Therefore, she was quite used to it and just sat in the corner, clenching her fists, not screaming and panicking like the first ti she encountered this kind of thing.
After Zhou Jinbao released the drugged smoke, he thought the two won in the room must have fainted, so he asked a thug to use a thin knife to open the door latch, and they snuck into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, a strange fragrance greeted them.
It was different from the sll of the drugged smoke they used.
It was a scent more intoxicating than the drugged smoke, very pleasant, and made people want to get drunk with one sniff.
The thugs thought it was the fragrance from the won, and deliberately took a few more sniffs.
“Damn, it slls so good, we must have a good ti with these two won later.”
“Shush, don’t make a sound, don’t wake them up.”
“What are you afraid of?
Anyway, we’re already in.
It’s not like they can…
fly away…
no…”
Before the word ‘successful’ was uttered, the speaking man had already fallen to the ground with a thud, fast asleep.
The second thug saw this, bent down, and whispered, “Li Erlü, what happened to you?”
Just after he finished calling, he also fell to the ground with a splash, tumbled to the ground headfirst and fell asleep.
The n in the back finally realized sothing was wrong.
They tried to turn around and leave, but they all felt dizzy and weak.
Before they could take a step, they fell one after another.
