Chapter 7: The Beginning (1)

Southern Chu is the only country in the Central Plains that borders the territory of Dayin, and naturally it is also the only country with which there are frequent commercial contacts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn addition to maritime trade between the two countries, there are also many trade routes on land, and Yanmen Road is one of them.

The Long family chose to take Yanmen Road, because he had the fastest journey, it was the shortest road between the two countries, many caravans would choose to take Yanmen Road, and there were post stations every ten miles on the road, guarded by officers and soldiers, Yanmen Road rarely had caravans robbed, which was also a reason why most people chose it.

It's just that the Long clan is not happy that there are officers and soldiers on the way, and now Nan Chu has already spread their wanted portraits all over the country, and there must be a copy in the post station, in order to avoid trouble, they have changed their appearance and makeup, and dressed up as ordinary small caravans doing business.

Xiaoxue offended the crown prince and the second prince, so she was naturally on the wanted list, but she hated to put a layer of human skin mask on her face, so she straightforwardly changed into men's clothes and put up a crown of hair to dress up and return to her previous appearance, mixed with several men, not very conspicuous.

Liu Changnan couldn't do anything about her, so she had to do it. She was very happy, she finally had the opportunity to ride a horse, in order to be able to ride a horse, she kicked down Bai Fan, who was dressed as a little white-faced oil-haired powder, and shamelessly snatched someone else's horse. Liu Changnan couldn't look past it, so he took the initiative to give up his seat, Bai Fan rode his horse, and he went to accompany Le Yi as a coachman.

"Are you a woman or not!" Bai Fan couldn't bear it, it was the first time in his life to be kicked off the horse, not to mention that she was still a little girl.

Xiaoxue rolled her eyes silently: "It's really a stingy man, don't you know that ladies are first, it's what you should do to let the horse." ”

"Are you pretending to be a man to tell me about this now?" Bai Fan said fiercely, his eyes about to breathe fire.

"Don't say that, I'm your benefactor, aren't I?" Xiaoxue blinked, and said justifiably.

Bai Fan was choked, his face turned red and he couldn't speak. She was right, a benefactor is a benefactor, and to be in her house is to humiliate herself. He is a native of the rivers and lakes, valuing love and righteousness is the noblest sentiment, he can't be an inhuman man, quarreling or bickering is simply obliterating a man's dignity. For the sake of face and the integrity of a real man, he endured it.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Are you dumb?" Xiaoxue, who was unforgiving, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him, intending to attract attention, but to no avail, Bai Fan, a real man, made up his mind to kill her and not give her half a glance, staring at the avenue ahead without squinting.

"It's so boring!" Xiaoxue knew that she was bored, and she looked listless.

A group of people, silent and silent, walked silently until nightfall.

Yanmen Road is a barren and desolate land, the flat land is boundless, and occasionally you will see a tea shed inn built on the road, but you must be cautious and cautious when staying at the door of the night. Although there were officers and soldiers guarding the trade road at the post station, and the bandits did not dare to blatantly rob the road for a hundred days, some of the inns were black shops, so if the caravan wanted to be safe all the way, it was necessary to stay at the inn near the post station, so as to avoid suffering disasters in some inns, which is the so-called black shop on the road.

Generally speaking, ordinary caravans will choose to camp and camp in the open if they do not arrive at the post station before dark, and will not risk choosing a black shop. However, some caravans that have hired a guard team don't care about black shops and white shops, they have rooms and beds to sleep in, they won't be outside, and some people don't want to enter the black shop at all, but they are forced to send them to the door out of desperation, and they are trapped in the muddy waters of the black shop.

Bai Fan is one of them.

They hurried to a two-story inn with only these two lanterns.

Staying in a black shop was originally planned by them, and under the noses of officers and soldiers, dropping in a shop is equivalent to sending it to the door for people to be caught, and it is all sent to the door, and it is much safer than living in a black shop.

"Why is there a black shop in the world?" Bai Fan said with a sigh, after a day's journey, he was mentally exhausted, and the whole person was powerless at this time.

"Because where there are rivers and lakes, there are black shops. Xiaoxue looked a hundred times better than Bai Fan's spirits, jumped off the horse excitedly, and stood at the door of the inn, "It's the first time I've lived in a black shop, you say, will we fall into the tiger's mouth, will we encounter any danger?"

"Is it a thing to be happy about being in danger?Why are you so happy?" Bai Fan dismounted, tied the horse rope to the stake, and looked Xiaoxue up and down depressedly. He couldn't understand what this quirky girl was thinking all day long, people avoided danger, but she was the opposite, not only was she not afraid, but she was looking forward to it, which made him have to suspect that this girl was living too well and wanted to find something to do.

Xiaoxue didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was the first to enter the door. Liu Changnan was not at ease, and followed closely behind, in case she did anything bad, but she was just a step too late - as soon as Xiaoxue entered, she shouted for no reason: "Black shop! Hello! I'm coming!"

As soon as Liu Changnan stepped into the threshold with one foot, the person froze there motionless, looking at the people inside the door looking at this side, he had a feeling of running away.

The people outside were also shocked, Bai Fan didn't expect that she would call out the black shop directly, and suddenly the whole person was not good, twitched the corners of her mouth to look at the people with different faces behind her, and asked, "Why don't you leave your benefactor outside and go to the next store?"

He really wanted to say that he didn't know the girl.

The head of the Long family didn't look at him, and walked into the inn with a calm expression, Miao Nu pulled Min Yu to glare at him, didn't speak, and followed the head of the family into the store; ”

Probably too surprised, Xiao Xue said amazingly, making everyone in the store look at this newcomer with a blank face.

"What did I say wrong?" Xiaoxue realized that the atmosphere was not right, and asked Anan in a low voice. She was telling the truth, why everyone was looking at her with blazing eyes, and their faces were not right.

"Your biggest mistake is to speak. Liu Changnan smiled gently, and told himself in his heart that it was wrong to run away, and that his family's troubles should also be cleaned up by his family, and he just hoped that the people in this store would not worry about a little girl.

The people in the store came back to their senses, probably thinking that there was a group of crazy people standing at the door, and they stopped paying attention and went to do what was interrupted.

Xiaoxue began to carefully observe the situation in the store at this time, and did not find it when she first came in, but now she takes a closer look, and the black store is nothing special, just like the usual inn, the flow of customers is constant, the top accommodation is top, and the table is full of wine and meat; Xiao Er shuttles back and forth between the tables with a rag and waits for customers with his head bowed angrily, and the accounting gentleman wipes his sweat and bargains with people to calculate the room fee, and the abacus in his hand is clicking. Looking at those customers again, there is nothing strange about it, ordinary people are dressed, four or five people sit around the table, drinking and boxing, eating and eating, talking and laughing, and it is very lively.

After a rough look, Xiaoxue just felt cheated, where is this black store, and the white store is not so normal.

"It's noisy here. Long Tian said leisurely at this time.

Miao Nu nodded: "It's really noisy." "And it's too noisy.

Xiaoxue didn't pay attention to what the companions behind her were paying attention to, and the excited light flashing in her eyes couldn't hide it, and she couldn't stop looking east and west with a pair of big eyes, eager to have a long pair of eyes to see through this store.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to be sharpened?"

Xiao Er, who came to ask, bent over and smiled.

Liu Changnan stepped forward politely, looked like a humble son, and asked, "Do you still have a vacant room in your store?" ”

"Why are you so polite?" Xiao Xue pursed her lips, blinked, and beckoned to Xiao Er, Xiao Er didn't know what to do, and stepped forward with a smile. She lowered her voice and asked him, "Are you guys a black shop?"

What kind of attachment does she have for black shops!

Xiao Er was frightened by her, hurriedly took a few steps back, shook his head and waved his hand, and said, "Guest officer....... We're really not a black shop here, you misunderstood, misunderstood. ”

Bad guys never say they're bad guys, let alone black shops. Xiao Xue did not hide her disdain, chuckled, lost interest, and walked straight past Xiao Er and came to the account counter.

"Come to two excellent rooms. "Her domineering tone is like that of a nobleman.

The accountant paused his hand, didn't raise his eyes, looked at his abacus, and replied indifferently: "There are only two good rooms, they are cow houses, do you want them?" ”

"Look for a smoke!" Xiaoxue was furious, the blue tendons on her forehead jumped slightly, and she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to beat someone, but she was stopped.

Liu Changnan pressed her shoulder with a headache, forced her to be unable to move with skill, and persuaded: "Okay, don't cause trouble, we are staying in a house, not fighting and robbing the house." ”

Xiaoxue didn't listen to persuasion, struggled a few times but couldn't pull out, so she had to glare at the settler and say, "Apologize to me." ”

The reckoning gentleman was unmoved.

"You ......." Xiaoxue was so angry that she was about to break free of the hand that clamped her shoulder, and the other hand quietly held her hand. "Miao girl, you ......" she sighed slightly, turned her head to look, Miao girl smiled at them gently, and said: "Xiaoxue, we are Sven people, don't shout, it's not good to lose your identity." Since people open a cow house, why not let us stay for one night, not to mention - there are so many guests here, presumably they are also living in a cattle house. ”

The sound was not loud or small, and the whole store happened to hear it.

The surrounding bustle seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard in the quiet shop.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the ledger, all of them pale, and the anger in their eyes clearly expressed their unhappiness as customers.

Mr. Reckoning was stunned, and finally reacted, he looked up at the three people in front of him, and said plainly: "Do you want to go to the room?" There are two rooms on the second floor on the left turn, ten taels a night, the food is counted separately, the key is here, take it." He opened the drawer under the stage, took two keys and put them in front of Xiaoxue, and then lowered his head and played abacus to settle accounts, not affected by what outsiders looked at him, and did whatever he wanted.

"Thank you. Miao Nu smiled, took the key, waved to the head of the house standing at the door, and shouted: "There is a place to sleep, come quickly, rest assured, it is not a cowshed." ”

"Awesome. Xiaoxue smiled. "Miao Nu, this is a poisonous person, not a poisonous tongue. She noticed that when Miao Nu deliberately shouted out "Cow Room", there were faint green tendons on the back of Mr. Settler's busy hands, and although she couldn't see her expression clearly when she lowered her head, she must have been blackened by anger.

Miao Nu's words not only gave him a blow, but also gave him a few silent slaps, Xiaoxue really wanted to applaud, thinking in her heart, next time she met this kind of person, she would also have to try it out, and she couldn't get out of the anger.

Long Tian and the four of them went upstairs in full view of everyone, completely unconcerned about the attention of Ruman.

"Let's go rest, we have to hurry tomorrow." Miao Nu let go of Xiaoxue's hand and went upstairs.

Xiao Xue glanced at the account desk, stuck out her tongue at Mr. Chong, and went upstairs with her chin raised.

After waiting for the group to finish going upstairs, the guests below began to make noise again, and after the account that no one had noticed, the gentleman lowered his head and a sneer on his lips.
