Chapter 350: Stranger in Just Two Months (15)
Nangong Xue and Nangong Hai quietly walked to the back door, and through the slightly hidden crack in the door, Nangong Xue saw that there were also a few guards guarding outside the back door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info shook his head silently, and gently "shhhh Nangong Hai saw Nangong Xue's hint and immediately understood the meaning, so he nodded slightly and followed Nangong Xue to tiptoe to the firewood room, and the two of them gently took the bench standing aside, and then the two of them jumped up with the support of the bench, and with a light kick on the bench, the two of them easily climbed over the wall and went out.
As soon as the two came out, they gently dusted off the dust left on their bodies when they climbed over the wall, and then walked straight out of the city. It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the north city gate, Nangong Xue looked at the people who were waiting in a long line for inspection, and said softly: "Brother, I think of something now, we didn't lead the horse...... This. This grandfather Ma has prepared it for us, but it didn't use ....... Ay...... It's all to blame for the guards at the door, how convenient would it be if they didn't stand guard outside the door? But then again, I've been in the capital for 20 years but I've never had a good turn, if it weren't for my grandfather, I wouldn't have known that there was a Qingyuan Temple outside the capital...... If we say that this Qingyuan Temple is not far away, we can save a lot of things....... ”
"Alright...... Don't complain about ....... These are extraordinary times, so bear with it, it's not ...... anymore. Nangong Hai took a look at the long queue of people, and then saw that there was a post station near the city gate, so he comforted, "In this case, let's go to this post station to borrow horses, otherwise we will walk for a long time." Although I used to accompany your sister-in-law out of the city from time to time to make incense, it would take a day to make a round trip. After saying this, Nangong Hai lightly raised his finger and pointed to the capital post station sitting on the side.
"Do you ...... carriage or on foot?" When Nangong Xue heard this, she first glanced in the direction of Nangong Hai's finger, and then asked.
"It must be in a carriage, so can you keep walking?" Nangong Hai replied, "If you really go...... That's going to be tiring. Do you think our family will let us walk out when we go out? He has always been a ...... in a carriage. ”
"My God, it's going to take a day to go back and forth in a carriage......?" Nangong Xue shouted lightly, "No wonder grandpa has prepared horses for us, but it's a pity that we didn't bring out ......." ”
"It doesn't matter, let's just borrow two horses from this post station for the horses, and we'll return them when we're done." Nangong Hai said.
"Looks like that's the end of it......." Nangong Xue nodded lightly in response. After saying that, the two of them walked straight towards the post station.
As soon as he entered the fence gate of the inn, Xiao Er of the post station hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Yo...... The two guest officers are ...... sharp? Or do you live in a hotel......? ”
"We don't play top, we don't live in stores......." Nangong Hai said, "We want to rent your two fast horses and use them for a while, and we will return them to you when we are done, can you see if you can ...... This? ”
"Well...... The little ones have to ask our shopkeeper ....... The shopkeeper replied hesitantly, "If you two are not in a hurry, you can go in with the little one first, sit down and wait?" ”
"Good ......." Nangong Hai replied lightly, "Then please ask Xiao Er to lead the way." Let's go...... Xiaoxue, let's go in and wait, it's not good to stand at the door and wait...... ”
"Uh-huh......." Nangong Xue nodded slightly in response, saying that the two brothers and sisters followed the shopkeeper into the post station, as soon as they entered the door, the shopkeeper temporarily arranged the two of them to sit down in an empty seat, and made a pot of new tea for the two of them, beckoning them to drink first, and then the shopkeeper went to ask the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, those two guest officers want to rent the horses of our station, do you think they ......can rent it?" Didn't there be a notice two days ago that the major post stations in the capital were not allowed to rent horses casually? What do you think can be done......? ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper raised his hand slightly and pointed to the shopkeeper Gonghai and them, and the shopkeeper took a look at the situation, and said softly: "So you deal with it first, I'll go and ask the boss." ”
"Uh-huh......." After speaking, the shopkeeper nodded slightly and turned around to greet Nangong Hai and them, while the shopkeeper put down the pen and registration book in his hand, turned around and went straight to the backyard of the post station.
As soon as Nangong Hai saw the shopkeeper walking towards them, he asked, "How about the shopkeeper, can you rent it?" ”
"Uh...... What's this...... The small one is not good, the guest officer, you two drink tea and rest, our shopkeeper went to ask, and when there is news, I will give you a satisfactory answer. The shopkeeper replied.
"How...... Is this station taking over now? Besides, do you need to report to your boss about such a small matter as renting a horse? Nangong Hai said.
"Hey...... Guest, you don't know about this...... When the shopkeeper heard Nangong Hai say this, he replied with a sad face, "In the past, this was basically a person who was in charge of the shopkeeper, but just last month, the imperial court suddenly assigned a new steward to supervise and manage our post station. We can't help it...... Thank you for your understanding...... ”
"Oh...... I see. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Nangong Hai nodded lightly and replied, "That'...... In that case, we just had to wait quietly for a reply....... ”
"Hmm...... That's pretty much it....... The shopkeeper nodded slightly and replied, "Please understand...... ”
After speaking, Nangong Hai glanced at Nangong Xue lightly and said, "It seems that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let's just wait......." ”
"Hey......." After hearing the shop's reply, Nangong Xue sighed helplessly and said, "This is really troublesome ......." It's so hard to ......get out and about. ”
"Forget it......." When Nangong Hai heard this, he hurriedly reassured, "At most, this time, you have to endure no matter how bad you are...... That's how it is going out now, otherwise the gate inspection wouldn't have come out in such a long line. Right...... Shop for the second? ”
After speaking, he raised his head slightly and looked at the shopkeeper ....... (To be continued.) )
