The further east you go, the warmer the climate becomes, probably because of the proximity to the lake and the sea. Although he was sitting outside the post station, Xu Ning did not feel cold, and there were many perennial crisp plants in the surrounding mountains and forests, which gave people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

The wine and food are not satisfactory, and they can only be settled, Xu Ning picked a few chopstick dishes, but the wine has been drunk all, and his body feels a feeling of warmth. In addition, when the sun is shining, the alcohol evaporates from the body, and the spirit is slightly fuller.

After eating a little casually, Xu Ning took out a handful of gold coins and was about to leave, but before he could get up, there was a sudden rumbling sound of carriages and horses behind him! Listening to the sound, there were at least three horses, one was ridden by a man, and the other two were pulling the carriage, and there was a fast original in the distance. As if disturbed by something, the merchants behind him dropped what they had not finished eating, and immediately got up and set out on the road.

Before leaving, the old man at the next table reminded Xu Ning: "This little brother, aren't you still leaving?" ”

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry to get on the road?" Xu Ning asked strangely.

"Alas...... It seems that little brother, you are the first time to take this road, I think it is better to leave quickly, if you don't dislike it, just go with us, I'm afraid it will be bad for you to stay here! As he spoke, he nervously glanced back at the smoke and dust in the distance.

It turns out that they are afraid of the people who are coming! Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Thank you old man, but I don't plan to leave yet, you should take the first step, how precious!" ”

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, the old man shook his head and immediately left with his own people.

Xu Ning sneered, lowered his head and picked up the dishes in his hand with chopsticks. I thought to myself, what arrogant characters dare to do anything wrong in the post station, I want to see it. Anyway, there is no hurry to travel, so it is time to rest.

The old man of the post station heard the sound of cars and horses outside and immediately walked out, the expression on his face was very unnatural, he glanced at Xu Ning nervously, as if he wanted to remind him of something, although Xu Ning felt it, he pretended not to see it. At this moment, the carriage and horse have also arrived. It's too late to say anything.

"Phew!"

Horseback riders arrive first. As soon as he pulled the reins, he jumped off the horse.

"Old man, come and lead the horse, looking for death!"

It's really arrogant. He actually instructed the post officer like this. Could it be that he is a royal official of the Dongzhou Empire? Xu Ning turned his back and didn't look back. It doesn't matter who you are, if you dare to provoke me, I will cut you hard!

The old man didn't dare to slack off and quickly pulled the horse, and counted it on the horse stake at the door. At this time, Xu Ning felt a strong aura approaching from behind him, and he reached out to pick up a chopstick from the table. If the other party dares to do it to himself, this chopstick will appear in his eye socket the next moment.

The old man walked over quickly, as if he wanted to remind Xu Ning of something, but was grabbed by the person behind him.

"I said, old man, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to keep people, you didn't hear it, did you!"

Xu Ning's eyes were cold, and anger gradually rose from his heart, and he was about to explode at any time.

"Second brother, forget it, why do you have to be embarrassed by that old man when you are angry, after all, he is also a member of the post station, and if he is arrested by other imperial patrols, things will be troublesome. Hurry down and help unload the goods! ”

Although Xu Ning was facing away from him, he felt very familiar with this inexplicable voice! I held back my curiosity and didn't look back, but I thought to myself, it seems that I didn't go right, there must be something strange about this station!

The person behind him snorted and pushed the old man away, and said viciously: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare to eat and drink!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the carriage, and as if he had written a package-like thing from the carriage, he walked quickly into the inn.

"Oh, I said big brother, why do you do the same to your brother?"

This time, it's a woman who speaks to make people feel crispy in the bones. However, this tone made Xu Ning feel very disgusted, pretentious and full of sensuality, and Xu Ning almost threw up.

"It's not your fault, you didn't climb into my bed yesterday, how could the second child be so angry?" The familiar voice came again, and with a laugh he walked in.

"Hmph, don't take advantage of the fuck and sell well, the old lady can sleep with whomever she wants, your brother is a big king, does he care?!" The woman seemed to be angry, and strode into the inn. The man in the back followed, and there was an immediate return to calm behind him.

Xu Ning didn't hear any movement before turning around, behind him, there was a big carriage parked, although it was not luxurious, but it was unusually large, and it was still very spacious for more than a dozen people to sit inside. Three big horses were tied to the front of the station, tired and sweaty, and it seemed that they had run a long way.

Xu Ning was puzzled in his heart, and at this time, he saw that the old man of the post station had hurriedly walked out, opened the door on one side, and didn't know what he was busy with, and after a while, there was a tempting fragrance. Xu Ning smelled this smell, his stomach gurgled, and he walked in suspiciously.

Originally, this house was a separate kitchen.

Roasted lamb shank, steamed fish, braised elbow...... On the plate on the side, lined up, more than a dozen meat dishes, the color and fragrance are reasonable, in this barren mountain and wild place, it is already good to have such a delicacy. The old man at the post station was busy in front of the stove, and he didn't know what to eat.

"Official, it's a bit inappropriate for you to do this, right?" Xu Ning asked with a frown.

"Ahh The old man was startled, looked back and saw that it was Xu Ning, let out a sigh of relief, and his nervous mood fell. However, he soon became nervous again.

"Little brother, you haven't left yet?!"

"I was supposed to leave, but what you're doing is going too far."

"What's it that upsets you?"

"Hmph, I ask you, what did you say when you came? Isn't it just coarse tea and light rice? What are these! Xu Ning was furious and pointed to a table of delicious food and wine.

Unexpectedly, the old man's face changed, and he said nervously: "This little brother, you better leave quickly, it's too dangerous here!" In case anything goes wrong, I, I can't afford it! ”

"Treat? Hmph, old man. You really can't afford it, I ask you, why don't you take out so much fish and meat, is it bullying me for having no money?! Xu Ning glared and said, "Although this is a post station, not as good as a restaurant, but at least there is still fairness, besides, the master is not an idle person!" As he spoke, he took out his bounty hunter Zijin "Eagle Falcon Order" from his arms!

Who knew that the old man took a look. There are no special expressions.

"It turns out that the little brother is a bounty hunter. Then it's even more time to leave, don't you know the identity relationship between the bounty hunter and the Imperial patrol? Even if you are at the purple gold level, but when you see the imperial patrol of the pig iron level, you are still one level behind! ”

"That's outdated, isn't it?" Xu Ning said coldly.

"Little brother. in this day and age. Rules can be broken. As long as you have the strength. It's better for you to go alone and not to wade into this troubled water, listen to me, and leave quickly. Otherwise. That person will be furious when they know you're entering this kitchen! The old man of the post station persuaded sincerely.

"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, you mean, that group of people just now is the Imperial Patrol? Xu Ning was stunned.

"Imperial Patrol? If you say yes, even though I've lived so old, I still can't tell what's right and what's wrong, what's true and what's false! The old man sighed, stopped bothering Xu Ning, and buried himself in cooking.

"It seems that you can only have enough food and clothing if you do it yourself." Xu Ning sighed, picked up a small wine jar from the table, opened it and smelled it, it turned out to be the best daughter Hong!

"Good wine, good wine!" After taking a sip, Xu Ning exclaimed.

"You-! Alas, young man, why don't you listen to persuasion! The old man was shocked when he saw that Xu Ning had opened the wine jar without permission.

"Old man, I don't know what you have to hide, but I've taken an interest in these people. What kind of bullshit empire patrol, I really don't care about it, you can cook with peace of mind, I'll eat and drink here, I'll leave when I'm full of food and drink. Xu Ning said, picked up the elbow from the plate, and took a bite hard.

"I can't help it, I can't help it! Alas, there is only one thing here, if ......"

Xu Ning didn't wait for him to finish, picked up a piece of thick and oily chicken leg from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. The old man seems to have not been stained with meat for many days, and he can't help but take a bite of it!

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious...... Good ......"

Xu Ning laughed and said, "It's delicious, let's continue eating!" ”

"But that's it...... Alas, you have to lose your life for a meal! The old man stomped hard and quickly pulled out the chicken leg in his mouth.

But he has gnawed until only the chicken bones are left, as if the meat has not been chewed at all, and it has directly entered the stomach!

Xu Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "Old man, if people are not even free to eat and drink while they are alive, then what's the point of being alive?!" Eat with confidence and boldly, I promise you'll be fine! ”

"This ......" The old man's face was a little ugly, and then he stomped his foot fiercely, picked up the wine jar and poured a few sips!

"Death is death, this bastard has bullied me for so long, I can't bear it anymore!"

"Haha, that's right! Come on, eat an elbow! Xu Ning laughed.

Compared with Xu Ning, the old man is more like a starving ghost reincarnated, from the wine he gave Xu Ning, he knows that it is still his own treasure, not even a better village brew, and it is a kind of residue of winemaking.

"Old man, how long have you been bullied?" Xu Ning asked after drinking a jar of daughter red.

"This, alas, the guy at the head is the Imperial Patrol, and since he began to occupy this place three years ago, I don't dare to report it to the top! In the past few years, he has used this place as a stronghold, and he has also built an underground palace in the back, which contains the wealth that he didn't know where to scavenge! Give me a little money every year, even if you take care of them, it's not enough to buy wine and meat! ”

"Oh, and this kind of waste!" Xu Ning said disdainfully.

"Little brother, let's run away in a while, I can see through it, and if you stay sooner or later, you will die!" The old man drank a little too much, and said with a sad and angry face.

"Run? Don't, you also said, isn't there a lot of wealth in the back?! Xu Ning smiled.

"You, what do you want to do?" The old man asked in surprise. (To be continued......)
