Chapter Ninety-Three: Yangguan City
Ten days later.
Leng Manyan and the others, who were in a hurry all the way, finally came to Yangguan, the most border of the Qi Heavenly Kingdom, Yangguan is the border between the Qi Heavenly Kingdom and the Western Regions Kingdom, and after going out of Yangguan, it is the boundary of the Western Regions Kingdom, which can be regarded as a complete entry into the Western Regions Kingdom.
Stepping into the territory of Yangguan, the scenery outside the plug surprised Leng Manyan and others.
Sitting in the carriage, looking out of the window, there was actually yellow sand in the sky, blowing a yellowish sand wind, and the eyes of the cold manyan were full of tears, and he had to hide in the carriage.
Bai Xiao looked at Leng Manyan so embarrassed, he laughed, "My lord, I told you a long time ago, the wind and sand outside the plug are easy to be blind, you just don't believe it, you look at me, the wind and sand can't blow into my eyes." ”
"Cut, like you wrapped like a brown child, aren't you hot?" Leng Manyan glanced at Bai Xiao with disdain, looking at the way he wrapped his head tightly, Leng Manyan was indeed a little unbearable.
Long Xiaofeng was in a relaxed mood, lying on his side beside Leng Manyan, closed his eyes and said with a light smile, "After so many days, we finally arrived in Yangguan, I think, let's stay in Yangguan City tonight!" Rest in Yangguan City for a few days, nourish your spirit, and then enter the Western Regions. ”
"Yes! I want to try the delicious taste of this girl outside the plug, huh! I've been holding it for so many days, but it's making me uncomfortable. Bai Xiao shouted.
But when he heard these words in Leng Manyan's ears, it made Leng Manyan feel an urge to give him two feet.
The three of them were talking in the carriage for a while, Wang Xie and Song Shiyu, who were driving the carriage outside, stopped their horses, and Wang Xie shouted into the carriage, "Prince, my lord, there is Yangguan City in front, do you want to come down and overlook Yangguan City?" ”
"Of course, I really want to see the scenery of this mountain city outside the Saiwai." Leng Manyan happily responded and rushed out of the carriage.
Jumping out of the carriage, Leng Manyan put his hand on his forehead and looked at the tall Yangguan City in front of him.
Seeing this, Leng Manyan was startled, "It's amazing! The walls of this Yangguan City are so high? ”
"Of course, because Yangguan City is located on the border of the Qi Heavenly Kingdom and is a city bordering the Western Regions Kingdom, of course the city wall must be built higher, otherwise the horse bandits in the Western Regions will not have to come here every day to find trouble?" Long Xiaofeng sneered and explained to Leng Manyan.
Leng Manyan was relieved.
The city wall of Yangguan City was built like this, obviously trying to take advantage of the terrain to create a military advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that even if the Western Regions Kingdom riots and wants to attack the Qi Heavenly Kingdom, Yangguan City can rely on such a terrain advantage to deal with the army of the Western Regions Kingdom.
Looking out of Yangguan City for a while, Leng Manyan and the others went towards Yangguan City.
Leng Manyan suddenly remembered five words at this moment, called Xichuyangguan without a reason.
Coming to such a stopper, Leng Manyan really believed this sentence, entered Yangguan City, and looked at the dress of the people in Yangguan City, Leng Manyan really felt that he had come to another world, and he was here, and there was no person or thing that looked familiar.
Perhaps, this is the real meaning of this sentence that there is no reason in the west out of Yangguan!
After taking a turn in Yangguan City and getting familiar with the small Yangguan City, Leng Manyan and the others came to Yangguan City, the only inn that looked relatively high-end and stylish.
This inn is called the Dragon and Phoenix Inn, and there is a couplet on both sides of the inn.
The upper link is: the dragon comes to swim, the shallow stranding, do not understand right and wrong.
The next link is: the phoenix goes to rest, the depth is deep, and it is difficult to understand so.
The horizontal batch is: the scenery outside the plug.
As soon as Leng Manyan and the others saw this strange couplet, their eyes were immediately attracted.
Standing outside the passenger line, Leng Manyan smiled and said, "That's it!" This couplet is very interesting, and when I go in and ask the shopkeeper, what does this couplet mean. ”
"Hey! Wait......" Long Xiaofeng couldn't stop shouting, Leng Man's words were finished, and he ran into the inn as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Long Xiaofeng had no choice but to say to Song Shiyu and the others, "You park the carriage, I'll go first to take a look, so as not to cause any trouble for her." ”
"Hmmm! Too...... Childe is going. Song Shiyu originally wanted to call the prince, but when the words came to his mouth, he hurriedly changed his mouth back and called the prince.
This is the agreement of the seven people before entering the city, once they enter the city, they will change their titles, Long Xiaofeng is called Childe, and Leng Manyan is called Miss.
Leng Manyan entered the Dragon and Phoenix Inn, she walked to the counter, and reached out and patted the counter, "Shopkeeper, is there still a room?" ”
"Girl, what kind of room do you want? Celestial or Ground Room? The old shopkeeper behind the counter asked Leng Manyan kindly.
"Of course, there are three Tianzi rooms, can there be?" Leng Manyan didn't even have to think about it, and directly ordered three Tianzi rooms.
The old shopkeeper smiled indifferently, and did not rush to respond, but looked up at Leng Manyan and said with a sneer, "It seems that the girl is the Yangguan City that she just arrived in today, right?" ”
"That's right! Shopkeeper, how do you know? Leng Manyan was puzzled.
"Huh! If you hadn't arrived today, you wouldn't have called the room like this, do you know, our Dragon and Phoenix Inn has a room with a heavenly number, and it costs a night stay, how many silver taels? The old shopkeeper kindly reminded Leng Manyan.
Leng Manyan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It's not that she's afraid that this is a black shop, but it's generally outside the plug, and the prices are soaring, and it's okay to say to the locals in Yangguan, but to outsiders, these black-hearted shops, but you can slaughter as many as you can, and you won't see blood when you slaughter them.
Secretly vigilant in his heart, Leng Manyan was tempting, "How many silver taels do you want?" ”
"10,000 taels of silver for a night."
"Oh my God! 10,000 taels of silver for a night, you ...... This is a bright robbery! Leng Manyan shouted in surprise.
Her scream immediately shook the many men who were sitting on the first floor eating, and they all cast their eyes over, looking at Leng Manyan viciously, among these eyes, there are murderous intent, lewd intent, and ill intentions, all in all, Leng Manyan, who is good at observing faces, just glanced at it in a hurry, and it was from the eyes of these people that he looked at several meanings.
Of course, with her beauty, it is more obscene.
The old shopkeeper smiled, "The girl doesn't have to be so surprised, I'll warn you in advance!" lest when she had to pay the silver taels, the girl said this again. ”
"Then, old shopkeeper, can it be cheaper! We really didn't have that many taels of silver with us. Leng Manyan asked the old shopkeeper in embarrassment.
The old shopkeeper bowed his head and pointed to the couplet outside the door, "Actually, if you live with us, you can also do without money, as long as the girl can read the meaning of the couplet outside, and tell the old man, the old man doesn't want the girl to have a penny of silver, and the girl can live in the Dragon and Phoenix Inn for as long as she wants." ”
"Really?" Leng Manyan asked in disbelief.
The old shopkeeper was about to answer, when Long Xiaofeng chased him in from outside.
Walking behind Leng Manyan, Long Xiaofeng whispered in Leng Manyan's ear, "I just asked someone outside, this Dragon and Phoenix Inn is very expensive for one night's silver, let's go!" Don't let them slaughter them, go find something cheaper. ”
"No need, the old shopkeeper said, as long as we can read the meaning of the couplet outside and sue him, we can not charge us for the house, and we can live as long as we want." Leng Manyan repeated the words of the old shopkeeper to Long Xiaofeng.
Long Xiaofeng frowned and looked at the old shopkeeper, who nodded noncommittally.
Song Shiyu and the others forced the carriage and walked in together, Leng Manyan told them about it again, Song Shiyu and the others also stood there in shock when they heard it, looking at the couplet outside in a daze.
After the seven of them were silent for a while, Leng Manyan asked, "Old shopkeeper, is this condition you said for us outsiders, or is it the same for everyone?" ”
"Everyone is the same, except for a girl who looks exactly like you, no one has read the meaning of the couplet." The old shopkeeper's sudden words shocked Leng Manyan and others.
Leng Manyan turned his head and glanced at Long Xiaofeng, and said in a deep voice, "What the old shopkeeper said must be Ji Yao, only she looks exactly like me." ”
"It seems that Ji Yao is really smart! It's not easy, if she can do it, then we believe you can do it too. Long Xiaofeng was unconvinced in his heart, and he preached Leng Manyan.
Leng Manyan smiled bitterly, thinking to herself, what others can do, she may not be able to do it, what she can do, others may not be able to do it, how can this be compared.
However, when it came to this, Leng Manyan really wanted to give it a try, she didn't want to lose to Ji Yao's bastard woman, she looked at the old shopkeeper without squinting, Leng Manyan asked, "Old shopkeeper, you just saw that I looked exactly like that woman, so you kindly reminded me, right?" ”
"Exactly, it's just that the old man is curious, there are two people in this world who look so similar." The old shopkeeper sighed curiously.
"Then how can the old shopkeeper be sure that I am not her?" Leng Manyan asked the biggest question in his heart.
She is exactly the same as Ji Yao, when she came in, the old shopkeeper just looked at her a few times, and did not misrecognize her, which made Leng Manyan particularly curious, could the old shopkeeper still recognize her at a glance that she was not Ji Yao? If this is someone else, you will definitely have to admit your mistake!
Who knew that the old shopkeeper smiled honestly and said happily, "You and that girl, although they look exactly the same, but your speech, actions, and behaviors are completely two people, if you want to say it, you are more rude, she is more quiet, my old man knows countless people, so naturally you can see it at a glance." ”
"Huh! The old shopkeeper, you are really straightforward, and you are not afraid of me being angry! Leng Manyan laughed bitterly, this was the first time she had been called rude to her face.
Leng Manyan wanted to be angry, but she was not a fool, she must be on other people's land now, so she had to be polite to others, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to herself.
