Chapter 68: Night in Qingyang City

The sunset is setting, the moon is hanging high, and the streets are full of people during the day, and Qingyang City gradually begins to become deserted as the night falls.

Many peasant households who took advantage of the daytime to go into the city to sell their fields and land had basically left the city before this point in time.

Although it is still some time before the gates are closed every day, the crowds at the gates in all directions have become scarce.

Although according to the relevant regulations issued by the Qingyang City Lord's Mansion, itinerant people who do not have household registration in the city can spend the night in various inns in Qingyang City as long as they carry the general road guide of the Great Qian Dynasty with them.

However, due to the relatively high cost of such overnight stays, there are no surrounding farmers who choose to live in the city.

Some merchants who travel between the various castles in Higashiyama County may occasionally choose to stay in the inn for a short period of time when business is delayed.

However, most of the merchants who have business in Qingyang City all year round are basically more inclined to rent a vacant courtyard in the city for a long time than the expensive way of living in an inn.

It may not be comparable to the inn in terms of convenience and comfort, but it is cheaper, and it can be regarded as a stable place to stay.

For businessmen, cost and stability are always their top priorities.

People who don't have money can't afford to live, and people who have money don't like to live, which leads to the business of various inns in Qingyang City is basically pitiful.

But there are always exceptions to everything, just as there are more or less one or two rich people in a poor place, and although the vast majority of inns can only barely survive, there are still a few that are quite prosperous.

The 'Maple Grove Evening' in Dongcheng is a typical example of a booming business.

Purely in terms of scale, 'Fenglin Evening' can only be ranked at a medium level among all the inns in the east city of Qingyang City, and the interior decoration of its inn can only be regarded as average, although it cannot be said to be simple, but it is really not luxurious.

But it is such an inn with a mediocre taste from the inside out, but it is the highest room occupancy rate among all the inns in the entire East City, and there is no one!

At this time, in one of the guest rooms of the Tianzi in the evening of Fenglin, a short man was working the bed.

It seemed that it was time for the final sprint, so much so that the stout man's movements creaked like a storm, and the whole room was filled with the high-pitched cries of excitement of the woman.

It didn't last long before the stout man let out a low roar, then jerked a few times, and then crawled out of bed, picking up and putting on his trousers, which were still at the bedside.

Then he took out a few pieces of loose silver from the pocket of his trouser and threw them beside the woman on the bed.

After doing this, the short man got up, turned his head to look at the woman on the bed, and said, "Good performance, extra reward for you." Not new, right? Do you know who to get the fixed pay? ”

"Thank you for your favor, don't worry, although this is the first time I have come to do things today, but the rules are very clear before doing things."

The woman on the bed grabbed a few pieces of loose silver in her hand, and said with a very happy expression.

"Well, I still have something to do, I need to leave for a while. Before you go, remember to tidy up my room again, and I'll be back to sleep later. ”

The stout man nodded, and commanded.

"Yes, I promise to clean it up and make it satisfying. Kindness...... Do you still need me to come over in the evening? ”

It may be rare to meet such a generous benefactor, and the woman is quite enthusiastic when she is in a good mood.

"Huh? At night? Don't you all have families in the city? Don't you need to go home for the night at night? ”

The stout man asked curiously.

"If you go back to your grandfather, the one in my house is an accountant, and it just so happens that their shopkeeper is going to Lincheng to make a deal these days, so he took him away with him, so even if it's night recently, I can do it. And...... You were so brave just now, and I've never met a man like you...... Let's be honest...... It's really a bit of an addiction. ”

The woman on the bed said a little shyly.

"Hahahaha, okay, then don't go, wait for me here, if you're hungry, ask someone to bring some food, just put it on my account, I won't be back in a long time, and then we'll have another big fight in the evening." Tsk, delicate and soft, your man can marry you, it's really a blessing to cultivate! ”

The stocky man laughed and bent down to pinch the woman's face before turning and leaving the room.

After coming out of the guest room, he went straight down the stairs to the first floor of the inn, and all the shopkeepers he met along the way greeted the short man with great enthusiasm.

The short man was also very kind and responded one by one, and it wasn't until after the 'Maple Forest Night' that the original smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

Although it was not yet curfew, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops were largely closed, except for a few places where special businesses began to come alive.

The stout man walked down the street like this, which looked somewhat abrupt.

After walking along the main road for a short time, the short man suddenly dodged and entered a small path, and at the end of the path, he entered a rather dilapidated looking house.

It only took a few breaths for a man in a night suit to emerge from the dilapidated mansion.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly because he was covered and only his two eyes were exposed, judging by his size, he should be the short man who entered earlier.

The stout man in his night suit was noticeably quicker in his movements, no longer wandering the streets like an ordinary man as before, but with great agility he began to walk back and forth through the various lanes, and when he encountered a wall-like obstacle, he turned over directly, silently without attracting anyone's attention.

The short man's course of action was very strange, because he didn't take into account the problem of whether there was a dead end blocked by the mansion, so it was almost a straight line in the direction of the journey, and it didn't take too much effort, and the short man had already come to the Xia family's house!

"A young master who has just broken through the martial artist level, and he was seriously injured in the duel during the day, this may be the easiest of all the tasks I have received, right?"

Came to the edge of the wall on the side of the Xia family house, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around, the short man muttered to himself with some emotion, and then jumped and climbed directly into the side wall of the Xia family house, which was more than three meters high.
