Chapter 1, Embarking on a Journey

"The Boundless End?" Emperor Xuan touched his beard and pondered for a moment.

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang, does this vast end refer to the vast end of the extremely barren land?" Chu Haoge pondered for a long time, and then said to himself: "But why does my father ask him not to touch it, is my father's departure related to this vast end?" ”

Emperor Xuan: "I have heard people mention this vast end, and since Brother Chu told me not to touch it, I will no longer investigate this matter." This sentence should be Emperor Xuan's own words, and then said to Chu Haoge: "Haoge, since your father has instructed this vast world not to be touched, there must be a great danger in it, and my uncle wants you to promise your uncle, don't go rashly and act recklessly." ”

Chu Haoge: "This ......, I promise my uncle." Chu Haoge wanted to investigate secretly, but he didn't expect that this careful thinking would not be able to hide the old emperor after all.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Chu Haoge with his spare eyes, and said with a strange expression: "Let's go back to the palace." ”

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang...... This...... I think, since my father told me that I want to go to Jiangling......" Chu Haoge didn't know what to say, he categorically couldn't go back to the palace, what kind of young master, his father left only two clues, one is Jiangling, the other is the vast end, he is ready to go to Jiangling first, if there is no clue from his father, he will secretly explore the affairs of the boundless end.

Emperor Xuan: "Alas, I know, and I will announce that I will send you to do something." Emperor Xuan turned around and frowned, looked up, and said, "When you go out, you have to be careful in everything, although you are a little clever, but after all, you have not experienced the sinister world...... It's also good to have a little experience. As he spoke, he took out some silver tickets, silver and a token and gave them to Chu Haoge.

Chu Haoge was stunned when he took the token, and muttered in a low voice: "Uncle Huang, why did you think of bringing silver when you left the palace this time?" ”

Emperor Xuan: "I know Brother Wang too well, you are now seventeen, he will definitely not let you stay in the palace anymore, although I don't know where Brother Wang will let you go, but you definitely need to be entangled, and this token can help you avoid some troubles in the government." ”

The two talked for a long time, during which Chu Haoge also turned out the stars left by his father, and finally said goodbye to Emperor Xuan at the gate of Chu Mansion, it was already this hour, if you want to set off, it is not possible, after all, the city gate has been closed, presumably Chu Haoge has to leave tomorrow, Emperor Xuan specially explained, you must not stay in Chu Mansion.

After Chu Haoge and Emperor Xuan separated, Chu Haoge came to [an inn] (the name of the inn is one), and this inn is also somewhat famous in the capital.

The inn is very large, there are two floors high, the first floor is some tables and chairs, which are for guests to eat, and the second floor is accommodation, when Chu Haoge walked in, there was no one person on the first floor except for one person at the counter, and there were no half people in this building.

The shopkeeper saw Chu Haoge walk in, hurriedly came out to greet him, and said with a flattering face: "This father-in-law, please come here, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" However, when he saw the starlight giant sword behind Chu Haoge's back, he couldn't help but be stunned again, do eunuchs have to bring weapons when they leave the palace these days?

When Chu Haoge heard the shopkeeper call him father-in-law, he almost didn't breathe fire, and actually used him as a eunuch, isn't this a naked insult, but he turned his head and thought, hey, isn't he wearing a eunuch uniform now.

Chu Haoge: "Stay in the hotel." He spat out two words angrily.

"Prepare a good room for my father-in-law!"

"Father-in-law, please come here."

"Father-in-law, this is our best room."

"Father-in-law, if you are hungry, we have a chef here to cook it for you, and I will ask Xiao Er to send you to the room."

Around the corner, the shopkeeper had already taken him to the door of the guest room

Chu Haoge: "My surname is Chu, you will serve me some wine and food later, and you go and buy me a set of normal people's clothes." Chu Haoge's face darkened, and he said in his heart: "I know the eunuch uniform I am wearing, but do you have to remind me one by one?!" So saying, he took out ten taels of silver, and gave them to the treasurer.

The shopkeeper hurriedly picked it up with both hands: "Thank you, Grandpa Chu, thank you, Grandpa Chu." "As soon as this guy's two sentences came out, Chu Haoge was so angry in his heart, I told you that my surname is Chu, I want you to call me Gongzi Chu, and you actually call me Gonggong Chu...... In my heart, I scolded this shopkeeper for eight lifetimes.

Chu Haoge took the two pieces of silver, shook it around, but did not give it to him, and said, "This silver, I'll give it to you when you're done." So saying, he put the money back in his pocket.

Regardless of the shopkeeper's depressed expression, he walked into the guest room, this room is worthy of being the best guest room, even the size of this room is not comparable to ordinary rooms, and the equipment inside is also everything, even the bath bucket for bathing.

There was hot water in the bathtub, obviously a guy had prepared it in advance, Chu Haoge nodded: "Don't say it, although the shopkeeper of this inn is a second fool, this service is quite thoughtful, and even the bath water is ready." ”

Chu Haoge took off his eunuch suit, threw it away, and only wore a white undershirt, "I don't want to wear this eunuch uniform anymore." After a while, the guy brought the food and clothes, put the food on the table, put the clothes and pants on a chair, Chu Haoge looked at this clothes and looked like a young man, but this belt has never been seen before, it is not like a belt, it is like a whip.

Chu Haoge didn't have much appetite, after all, he was also a person who was going to leave his hometown, and after only eating a few bites, he had to take a shower and sleep well, recuperate and recharge, and set off in good spirits tomorrow.

Chu Haoge touched the water in the bathtub, the temperature was just right, so he took off his clothes and jumped in.

"Hmm...... When I was a child, I always heard that there were goblins who hurt people, this time I left Chang'an, will I meet them...... I haven't seen a goblin yet......" The more Chu Haoge thought about it, the more sleepy he became, and he was almost about to fall asleep.

I vaguely heard some noise outside, as if I was in a dream, and faintly heard a woman's voice outside: "You guests must have stolen my things!" I can feel it's right in this inn! "We really don't have any thieves, we are all distinguished guests, how can we take your things, girl?" "That's what you guys took? Give it back to me, that thing is important to me! "How can our inn take the things of the guest officer." "Don't, it's the father-in-law's room in the palace in front, but you can't afford to be offended......" "This is the last room, I don't care if he's a father-in-law or a mother-in-law."

Chu Haoge listened to the noise getting louder and louder, and actually came to his door, went a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes, and said in his heart: "Thanks to the sound outside that woke me up, otherwise I would have caught a ......cold" "Peng" Before he could think about it, the door of the room was kicked open, which startled Haoge, who had just woken up, and stood up from the bathtub with a "poof".

At this time, the woman had already kicked the door open, and then stood in front of the door, staring at Chu Haoge without blinking, Chu Haoge had lived in the palace since he was a child, and the number of etiquette was naturally not less, so she bowed down and said: "This girl, Xiao Ke can stay in this inn, I don't know where to offend the girl, and invite the girl Haihan." This lowered his head and couldn't help it, just when he saw his naked body, he was stunned there in an instant.

Woman: "This ...... I ...... "Ah! As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Chu Haoge, who had reflected it, screamed, scared the woman into a clever wit, turned around and ran out, not caring about what to look for: "Sorry, I'm disturbing." ”

Chu Haoge hurriedly sat down in the bathtub and shouted, "Little Er! That's what you guys are all about! After the guy came, Chu Haoge said: "I think I Chu Haoge is a talent, but I was looked down by a crazy woman, do you still want to open this inn!" "Father-in-law forgives ...... sins" "I'm not a eunuch!" "The lord spares his life." "I'm old?" "Childe spares his life...... We've really stopped it, but this woman has a lot of punches and kicks, and we can't stop it. ”

Chu Hao said in his heart: "I have really been moldy for eight lifetimes, and it is not good to be a teacher, and it is not good to be a teacher." He shouted to the fellow, "All right, let's get out." ”

When the people were gone, Chu Haoge came out of the wooden basin, put on his underwear, and went to sleep, preparing to leave the broken inn early tomorrow.

Next

"Why is this belt so uncomfortable to tie, is it a new style?" Chu Haoge took a lot of effort to tie the belt that was not like a belt, and threw ten taels of silver at the counter in the morning and set off.

On the way, I bought some dry food, a map, and took a water from the inn, and then went out of the city and ran to the southern suburbs.

Besides, in the inn, the woman didn't fall asleep all night, didn't say anything last night, and rashly clashed with a man to take a bath, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, yesterday I was so ashamed that I didn't dare to go out in the room, and I came together today, so I secretly went out to report to the official, saying that I lost my things, and the government sent someone to the inn.

found the shopkeeper and his buddies and others, and prepared to confront them face to face.

Catch quickly and ask the woman, "What is your name?" ”

"Murong Xiaoyan"

He asked again, "When did you lose that thing?" ”

Murong Xiaoyan: "Last night, I disappeared after coming back from going to the toilet. ”

Catch quickly asked: "Then what did you lose?" ”

Murong Xiaoyan: "It's a whip." ”

Murong Xiaoyan's statement is a clever "whip?" that a guy was said to be a clever "whip?" ”

Murong Xiaoyan noticed his reflection, hurriedly took a step forward, and asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

The guy nodded and said, "You live in the second room on the left staircase?" ”

Murong Xiaoyan: "Yes, you say quickly, where is my whip?" ”

Man: "I know where it is, but you've got to listen to me." The guy couldn't help but swallow when he looked at Murong Xiaoyan with a look of wanting to kill: "Last night, our shopkeeper asked me to go shopping for clothes, and it was already very late, it was very dark and quiet, and there was hardly anyone ......."

Murong Xiaoyan: "Can you tell the point!" Murong Xiaoyan interrupted him.

The guy looked at Murong Xiaoyan helplessly: "This is the point!" "Then hurry up!"

"It's very dark, it's very quiet, there is almost no one, the shopkeeper asked me to buy a set of clothes, to men's, and it must be good, when I arrived at the cloth shop, it was already closed, I knocked on the door, the cloth shop owner opened the door for me, I spent three taels of silver to buy a set of clothes worn by the rich young master and walked back, the road was cloudy and windy, I felt something follow me, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, I felt colder and colder, I walked two steps faster, I felt that something was still following me, I sped up again, but I felt that something was still staring at me, I got faster and faster, faster and faster, and then I got up and running......"

Murong Xiaoyan: "Can you get to the point, are you telling me a ghost story?!" ”

The man looked at her and said, "Listen to me." The man continued, "When I returned to the inn, I found something terrible...... and his voice trembled a little, as if he were now facing that terrible thing.

"What's wrong?" Several people asked him one after another, and their voices were uneven.

"The clothes I bought...... The belt is missing. ”

“……”

"I thought, what should I do, if this was known to the shopkeeper, I would definitely have to deduct my wages, but at this time, the shopkeeper urged me to send clothes to the guest, so I had to bite the bullet. When I walked to the second room on the second floor, I saw that the door of this room was wide open, and only the guest rooms in the inn would be open, and there was a belt on the table in this room, which was particularly hard and not good-looking, and there was something as hard as wood in front of it, and I thought that because this belt was not good, the guest threw it here, so I gave it directly to the guest with his clothes. ”

Murong Xiaoyan: "Where does the guest live?" ”

Dude: "Tianzi No. 1 room." ”

Murong Xiaoyan: "Tianzi No. 1 room? He touched his head with a pensive expression.

Another guy: "Girl, it's the father-in-law you broke into by mistake yesterday......"

Hearing that the guy said it was him, Murong Xiaoyan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he couldn't wait to block his face, and hurriedly ran to the No. 1 room of Tianzi, but he muttered in his heart: "They all say that the man is a father-in-law, so if he is a eunuch, then he is not a man, so it doesn't matter if I see him." Thinking of this, Murong Xiaoyan's face softened a lot, although it was a little awkward, but it didn't seem to be anything if he thought about it.

Murong Xiaoyan ran in front, and everyone behind followed suit, only to find that this was already empty, and only a set of eunuch clothes were randomly thrown on the ground.
