Chapter 8 Loess Green Shade
A strange city in the south of the Yangtze River, the weather is dry, the dust is flying, in this endless loess village as far as the eye can see, the ground under the feet has long been dry and cracked, I don't know how many days without a drop of rain falling, occasionally see the yellow pillar of about one or two meters faintly rising in the sand sea not far away, the wind and sand blow on the face so that people can't open their eyes.

This desert-like village is the only way to get to Kyoto from south to north, and it is precisely because of this that Loess Village has a popularity that does not match the harsh environment, otherwise it would be depressed and cold, and there will be no grass.
A team of about twenty or thirty people walked in the south direction, it looked like they were in a hurry, there was a carriage in the team dragging a delicate and magnificent sedan chair, the fresh green silk curtain hung down from the top of the sedan chair, the sedan body was carved with neat and complex patterns, carefully observed the details of the pattern, it was inlaid with jade embellishment, such a luxurious and luxurious sedan chair, and the whole team is extremely incompatible.
On the horseback of the leader was a tall young man, with a fair face and a heroic eyebrow, he was dressed in a plain robe, and there was no embellishment on his body except for a black sword at his waist, but he was the most decently dressed in the whole group.
"Lord Lian," the sedan curtain was gently lifted, revealing a perfect snow face carved like jade, worthy of Ren Qianqian, the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.
"The climate here is dry, the environment is harsh, the sky is getting dark, I think everyone is tired, and I am tired of the adults as soon as possible."
The Lord Lian called by Ren Qianqian was the tall man Lian Feihan who led the way.
The dignified man was determined to go to the battlefield and join Hege, and he practiced Lian's mental method hard since he was a child, and he was originally used to serve the country and defend the people, but he was sent by the emperor to escort a woman.
was so overkill, Lian Feihan was full of resentment, but after a few days of getting along, he found that this beauty, known as the number one beauty in Yizhou, was not only beautiful in appearance, but also beautiful in temperament and heart.
I thought that the number one beauty was a lot of love, and she should always be a little delicate, and even Feihan had a lot of trouble with how to serve this eldest lady, but Ren Qianqian was not only knowledgeable, but also very understanding.
Ren Qianqian, who grew up in a small boudoir, has never experienced such a bumpy road, even Feihan is like an arrow, and for several nights he was forced to rush and missed the opportunity to throw in the stack, so he found a hidden place in the forest at random and rested on the ground.
The entourage who followed him through a hundred battles had long been accustomed to this kind of day, but they took pity on the maids brought by Ren Qianqian, who were miserable one by one, but their masters, without any complaints, rested quietly and obediently in the small sedan chair for several nights.
Lian Feihan was reminded by Ren Qianqian that he realized that the surrounding environment was too bad, and if he still slept out today, he would indeed be too wronged by these female dependents.
Along the way, this noble quasi-concubine has never felt sorry for herself, nor has she ever made any demands on herself, and today she took the initiative to invest as soon as possible, presumably she was indeed physically and mentally exhausted by these flying sand and stones.
Lian Feihan immediately received the order, "Miss Ren, rest assured, the last general has passed through this loess village many times, if I remember correctly, there is an inn not far ahead." Today, everyone will rest early and recuperate. ”
The entourage was immediately relieved when they heard this, and they also followed Lian Feihan through this harsh village many times, but each time they slept at will, and let the wind and sand blow all night, because there were too few inns in this place, as if there was no place to put in the stack after the green shade in front of them.
When those ladies heard Lian Feihan's order, they breathed a long sigh of relief, and they began to chat, and the whole team gradually became lively and energetic because of these lovely women.
Everyone was in a cheerful mood, and time seemed to pass faster, and soon a team of people came to the Green Shade Pavilion.
The inner courtyard of this green shade is still full of loess mounds, dusty, and the name of the store's signboard is not true, but it can make people who are in a hurry feel comfortable to live for a night, but they can indeed experience the comfort of being like a green shade.
Seeing that these customers were all wearing swords and swords, the shopkeeper immediately walked out to greet them with a smile on their faces.
"Two of the best rooms, plus ten more ordinary rooms." Lian Feihan took out his money bag, don't look at his simple dress, the emperor is very generous with the funds for this escort mission, and there is a solid bag of gold in the money bag, and the store can't take his eyes off it.
"This master, I'm really sorry, you can dine, I'm afraid you can only wait until tomorrow if you stay, this whole restaurant has been chartered." Although the store is greedy for money, it can't go against the trust of the merchant, and since it has been chartered, no matter how much money you give, you can't give it to anyone else. I can't help but secretly complain, why did two big money owners suddenly come today.
"We're just passing through here, and we're leaving early tomorrow morning, so how can we wait until tomorrow to stay overnight?" Lian Feihan said angrily, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to smile all over his face, for fear that a person who would accidentally provoke this group of people with swords and swords.
"I see that your store is quiet and quiet, there are few customers, there must be a lot of vacant rooms, who is so extravagant to stay in this poor country charter place?" Lian Feihan looked around, the sky was getting dark, but he didn't see the lights in the guest room.
"This ...... The guests have repeatedly told them to keep it confidential, and we are really inconvenient to disclose it. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
The shopkeeper also has his difficulties, and if he continues to embarrass the shopkeeper, what is the difference between him and the robbers and bandits, Lian Feihan looked at the dim sky, do you want to sleep on the ground in this yellow sand tonight?
Lian Feihan let out a long sigh and said to the woman behind him: "It's really a shame to let Miss Ren's daughter's body suffer from this bad and stubborn sand. ”
"Even adults must not blame themselves, blame the little woman for being weak and afraid of water, if we take the waterway, we will have arrived in Kyoto a few days ago. At present, I have caused you to go around such a big circle, and please don't blame me. Although Ren Qianqian grew up in Yizhou Island, which is surrounded by water, she was naturally afraid of water, and she fainted when she got on the boat.
Lian Feihan sighed in his heart, this Ren girl is kind-hearted and reasonable, and she will definitely be able to become good friends with Jinrou after entering the palace.
Thinking of Princess Jinrou who was in love with him, Lian Feihan couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering, he turned around and prepared to lead everyone away, just sleep in the open, as long as he can hurry back to the palace quickly, he can alleviate his longing for Jinrou.
"Stay strong!" A deep voice sounded behind the shopkeeper, and a middle-aged man with a tired face walked out of the shadows, "I overheard the conversation between the strong man and the girl, you are also going to Kyoto?" Who are you? ”
"In Xialian Feihan, I was ordered by the emperor to escort the distinguished guests of Yizhou to Kyoto." Lian Feihan looked at the man as he spoke, only to see that he was dressed in cloth and his expression was not good, could it be that such a person with no other clothes had chartered the entire inn?
"Oh? Dare to ask who are you? The man continued.
"Lord Hui, Lian Feichi is my brother." When Lian Feihan heard him mention his eldest brother, he thought it was the eldest brother's old friend, and hurriedly replied respectfully.
"It turned out to be little brother Lian, please come in quickly. Xiao Er, these people are my friends, please arrange accommodation for them. The middle-aged man welcomed Lian Feihan and his party into the stack, and introduced himself: "In Xia Yin'an, the new right Cheng Tingwei, I have long admired the prestige of General Lian, and I hope that the general will mention more of his humble position in the future." ”
"Then thank you Lord Youcheng, please give up two rooms to the accompanying women, I am used to sleeping in the open air, and I will not hinder Lord Youcheng from staying in the hotel." Lian Feihan politely refused, it turned out that he just wanted to make friends with the eldest brother, not the eldest brother's old friend, he didn't know this Yin An's details, and he didn't want to over-interact.
"Daddy, are you letting these people in?" With a crisp voice, a pretty figure slowly walked towards Yin An.
"Come and meet Lord Lian." Yin An implicated the girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old in front of Lian Feihan, "This is the little girl, even the little brother, you are welcome, take your subordinates to live in, to be honest, our father and daughter only occupy two rooms in this inn." ”
"Brother Lian, hello!" Yin Shu'er greeted Lian Feihan gracefully.
"Nonsense, you should call Lord Lian!" Yin An reprimanded, if he remembered correctly, even the general's younger brother should also serve in the court.
"Daddy, the baby has grown up." Yin Shu'er curled her mouth, couldn't hide a childish aura, turned to see Ren Qianqian, and exclaimed: "Wow! What a beautiful sister! ”
Ren Qianqian nodded and smiled, worthy of being the first beauty in Yizhou, although covered with a thin veil, she still couldn't hide the world's beauty like wind and snow.
Lian Feihan was puzzled, although he could move to the capital to serve, unless he had something particularly extraordinary, he must be a person with a certain background.
But there is no need to charter an inn on the way to the road, and if it is really a rich family, why did the father and daughter travel alone and didn't bring a few more entourage guards?
"Your father and daughter, why did you charter this huge inn?"
"Hey, it's sad to say, I carried two sedan chairs, eight truckloads of jade silk grain, and went to Kyoto. I never expected that the journey to Beijing would be so dangerous, and I encountered three waves of bandits, robbery and murder, and those loyal followers who had followed me for many years fought to protect my father and daughter. Only then did I regret that I didn't obey my father's advice not to expose my wealth, so we quickly changed into burlap clothes, and walked the road in a proper manner, not daring to take any shortcuts on mountain roads and paths, but only hoping to arrive at the capital safely as soon as possible. Coming to this loess village, sparsely populated, it really makes people tremble, if you live in the same store with the thief, it is really difficult to protect everything. ”
Yin An said indignantly, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is already a person who advocates martial arts, and after experiencing this, he is determined to return to Kyoto Yin Mansion to revitalize the martial arts industry and cultivate a group of masters.
