After Zuo Cheng and Lu Hongyi finished talking, all the courtiers in the hall looked up at the dragon chair, and it was time to make a decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven opened his mouth and said directly: "This matter will be handed over to the national teacher and Zuo Cheng to handle, as for Situ Deng, you can't escape the blame for the defeat of the war, I will remove you from the post of secretary of the military department, and you will serve as a squire. Retreat. ”

The old eunuch, who had been standing beside the Son of Heaven, shouted in a shrill voice, "Retreat...... Towards ......"

The courtiers walked out of the hall one after another.

――――――――

It is located at the junction of Xining Road in Nanzhao and Qingzhou in Xishu, and the eyes are full of yellow sand.

If you are a little careless and are blinded by the wind and sand, it is also a big trouble in this desert.

Fortunately, there are frequent wars between Xishu and Nanzhao, and the battlefield between the two countries will not always be in this environment.

People who want to travel between the two countries of Southern Zhao and Xishu can only take this road. As more people came and went, some smart people opened inns here.

But not everyone can open an inn here, and people who don't have a little strength background want to open an inn here is looking for death.

These things were told to Chu Chaosheng by Xuanyuan Qingtong, and after recuperating on the mountain for a few days, Xuanyuan Qingtong's injuries recovered.

Although the pain of true qi entering the body tormented Xuanyuan Qingtong, it also made her a blessing in disguise, and unexpectedly grasped the nature of true qi.

This kind of experience cannot be replicated, unless there are people who endure the pain of true qi entering the body like Xuanyuan Qingtong, and have good qualifications to experience something.

In short, Xuanyuan Qingtong has touched the threshold of the third grade. The next step is the water mill.

Both men wore hats, one with a sword and the other with a sword, which was a common attire for those who walked the road to protect them from wind and sand.

Within sight, there are only a few faint buildings except for the yellow sand, and the distance is still a little far, so what you see is only the outline.

"Whew, I've been walking for so long and finally seeing the inn." A deep voice sounded, this person was Chu Chaosheng.

"Well, it's a little bit more walking."

The cultivation of the two is not bad, and their physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people.

Soon, they approached the buildings.

Only then did it become clear that there were originally three inns, and the two most eye-catching ones were about the same size as ordinary inns.

The third inn is just a two-story building, and it is located behind the two inns. In this case, how can there be development.

"Qingtong, where are you going?" There was some helplessness in Chu Chaosheng's voice.

Xuanyuan Qingtong was also a little stunned, there was only one last time she came. It was the two-story building, but she just hurried by and didn't pay attention.

At this time, Xiao Er, who was standing at the door of these two big inns, found Chu Chaosheng and the others. Hurriedly said loudly: "Guest officer, do you want to be a top student or stay in a hotel?" The tone was full of flattery and flattery.

Chu Chaosheng and Xuanyuan Qingtong were a little tired when they heard it, and Xuanyuan Qingtong said, "Just go to the house I passed by last time." ”

Chu Chaosheng didn't have any requirements for this, plus he was a little disgusted with the two little two, so he simply nodded in agreement.

The two juniors saw Chu Chaosheng and the others heading towards the two-story building, and the flattering expressions on their faces receded, and they all snorted coldly.

This inn is really not very good, the plaque on the door "Hongyun Inn" four big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, but unfortunately the dust is thick, as if it has not been wiped for a long time.

After entering, there was only one proprietress sleeping on the counter, Chu Chaosheng coughed lightly, and the proprietress was immediately alert.

is straight, with a mediocre appearance, but with a kind of charm. Twisting and getting up, he said playfully: "Are the two guest officers going to stay in the hotel?" ”

Chu Chaosheng said "um" coldly.

"Wait a minute, two guest officers." The proprietress smiled at Chu Chaosheng and the others.

Turning his head and shouting to the back of the lobby, "Dead ghost, don't come out yet to lead the two guest officers to the guest room." ”

The ordinary wooden door was opened, and a middle-aged man with messy hair appeared, full of alcohol and choking.

Chu Chaosheng and Xuanyuan Qingtong quietly used the breath-holding method of a person who practiced martial arts, and seemed to notice Chu Chaosheng's gaze, Xuanyuan Qingtong smiled awkwardly. It's hard for her, she didn't expect this Hongyun Inn to be like this.

The middle-aged man lazily walked up the stairs, "Come on, guest officer." ”

Chu Chaosheng and Xuanyuan Qingtong both came in, and it was impossible for them to leave again, they didn't like this kind of backtracking.

"There's only one room left in the shop, so if you don't mind, squeeze in." The middle-aged man's lazy voice sounded again.

Xuanyuan Qingtong's face suddenly flew with a flush. She really wanted to strangle herself, what was going on.

Chu Chaosheng said, "It's okay, let's stay for one night and leave." There was a faint sense of convincing in his tone.

The two entered the guest room, and Chu Chaosheng said to the middle-aged man, "Thank you, boss, you can go down first." ”

"Okay, call me if you need to." Then came the sound of the door slamming shut.

"Chaosheng, that, I didn't know this was like this." Xuanyuan Qingtong was a little flustered.

Lonely men and widows, living in the same room, or in this kind of place, no one can not make associations.

Chu Chaosheng smiled helplessly, "It's okay, I'll just meditate and cultivate outside the door." Xuanyuan Qingtong hurriedly pushed his hand and said, "What is the line?" ”

Xuanyuan Qingtong was so flustered at the moment, a woman kept a man in the room. She still has a kind of doubt, is this herself? Since he came out of Qing'an City, what about his pride? Where did it go?

Chu Chaosheng didn't want to be embarrassed, he took the initiative to open the door, "I'll go out and go around, and pay the money by the way." ”

Xuanyuan replied with a blank snort.

Chu Chaosheng came to the bottom of the lobby, and his eyes casually swept the roof, which was full of cobwebs and dust, messy and dirty.

He walked to the account desk with his sword on his face, "How much?" ”

"One night's stay with meals is fifty taels of silver." The proprietress replied with a smile.

"It's too expensive, ten taels." Chu Chaosheng was still expressionless.

"Yo, the guest officer, this is not a way to live for the shop. Ten taels is not enough for those meals, we are the cheapest here, and the two in front of us are hundreds of taels at every turn. ”

Chu Chaosheng threw the money bag containing fifty taels of silver on the counter with an expressionless face, and stepped out of the door.

He was a little distressed, this is fifty taels. It was more expensive than his treasure horse, although the treasure horse didn't know where it went, and he didn't go back to Qing'an City to see it later, but it was a total of eighty taels before and after, and the more Chu Chaosheng thought about it, the more distressed he became.

There was no interest in going out at all, and the money that Master left him was just a little, and it was gone when it ran out.

In fact, in the eyes of others, this is completely out of tune with his identity as a master, with his martial arts, can't he get money casually? However, Chu Chaosheng did not have the idea of using his skills to make money.

The more Chu Chaosheng thought about it, the more entangled he became, what should I do?

Suddenly, dust was flying in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp.
