Chapter 34: The Sacrificial Turmoil
Nangong Kui Cao carried a big burden on his back, and followed Nangong Mingmo to an inn. Although the two of them met a lot of beggars, Ming Mo always told him that these people had no disabilities or illnesses, and they didn't need to be given to them, and they didn't give them much until the end, so there was a lot of money left. Kui Cao remembered that Qi Xuan had hit a wall here, so he asked Nangong Mingmo: "Uncle hasn't been there, the shopkeeper has already said that the guest room is full, why do you want to go again?"
Ming Mo didn't want to deal with him, so he just walked into this luxury inn silently. Then he walked to the front desk, picked up a handful of money and threw it over without saying a word.
"It's your tip. Shen Mo spoke in a low tone.
Then he took out a handful of paper money from his pocket and threw it on the counter again.
"Asked for the most luxurious double room. Mingmo still kept his voice low.
The shopkeeper was entangled: "This guest officer, we don't have this kind of room here. Or you ......"
Ming Mo didn't speak, and took out a wad of paper money and put it in front of the counter.
The shopkeeper couldn't help it, her consciousness told him that he was definitely not someone to be provoked. I simply gave him the keys to a house that no one had paid for to live in.
Ming Mo took the key, beckoned Kui Cao and left. Some clerks around asked, "Why did you give up the house that the adult rented himself?"
The shopkeeper shook her head and said, "It's okay, that lord has contracted all the first-class rooms in our inn, maybe there will be a few more when he comes." ”
Kui Cao opened the door, and was instantly surprised to make a sound, throwing his backpack and lying on the bed.
Ming Mo just smiled and said, "Look at your useless appearance." ”
He just said to Kui Cao, you stay here and don't run around. I went out to find out what to do. Then he left, leaving Kui Cao alone in the room.
Darkness went out first, then ran to the tavern. casually asked for a pot of turbid wine and sat next to a big man.
The big man glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ming Mo took out some banknotes and swiped his finger over them. Say, "I'll ask a few questions, and you can answer them truthfully." ”
As soon as Dahan saw the money, his eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly put the money away, for fear that others would snatch it.
Ming Mo took a sip and asked, "Is there anything big that has happened recently?"
Dahan hurriedly replied: "Actually, the national teacher came here to prepare a sacrifice, saying that it was prepared for the soldiers who fought to the death." ”
Shen Mo asked again, "Is he here now?"
Dahan replied, "Not yet, because they are on their way, but they have already booked a place to stay in advance." It is said that the Emperor of Heaven will come in person this time, so it attracts a large number of outsiders to come for sightseeing. ”
Ming Mo's eyes lit up, the Heavenly Emperor was a shining existence in the human world, he also knew it, and asked, "Then where do they live here?"
Dahan shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's a confidential matter. ”
After listening to this, Ming Mo finally asked, "How many days does the sacrifice take?"
Dahan replied, "About three nights, tonight, tomorrow night and the night after tomorrow." In addition, at the beginning of the sacrifice, no one is allowed to open the city gates, and no one is allowed to leave or enter, which is an unwritten rule anyway. ”
Ming Mo drank the wine in one gulp, and walked directly back to the inn, thinking as he walked, he was estimated to stay here for the past three days.
When he returned to the inn, he saw many plates in the living room. He picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You kid will enjoy it. After speaking, he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork.
Kui Cao's mouth was stuffed with something, and he said vaguely, "No...... things, slowly...... Enjoy. ”
Ming Mo threw a meatball into his mouth again: "Don't talk while eating." ”
