Along the way, Li Jiancheng's impression on Sima Jiu was mysterious and difficult to understand.

In the dark, it seems that someone has prepared everything for Li Jiancheng, everything he needs.

There is intelligence, official positions, and property, which is enviable.

No, after entering the city, Li Jiancheng took everyone to stay in a high-end inn.

When he entered the inn, he only reported his name, and didn't even say a word to the innkeeper, and directly checked into five high-end rooms, which surprised Sima Jiu, could it be that someone had already booked the inn for him.

The inn they stayed at was called an inn.

An inn is located in the center of Pingyao City, in front of the main road of Pingyao City, and the surrounding area is very prosperous.

"Brother Jiancheng, we live here, is it too ostentatious?"

Sima Jiu stood by the window, looking through the half-open and half-closed window, without looking back at the situation on the street.

Li Jiancheng wrote lightly: "This is not far from the core of Pingyao City: the General's Mansion, which is convenient for us to move." ”

"It's not far, indeed."

Sima Jiu raised his hand and said, "Ah, at the end of the street, is the mighty and domineering and heavily guarded General's Mansion. ”

"This ...... It's not a place I arranged to stay, who would have thought that an inn would be in this location. ”

Li Jiancheng had a helpless expression.

Wang Qi said: "If you come, you will be safe, and I will stay for the time being." ”

"Now, that's all it takes."

Feng Li sat on the Taishi chair in the room and joked, "Ninth brother, it sounds like you're a little unhappy. ”

Sima Jiu shook his head one after another and said, "No, no, no, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I not be happy." ”

"It's been a bumpy road, this handsome guy has long wanted to have a good rest, besides, didn't Brother Jiancheng say that an inn is the best inn in Pingyao City."

"In this way, we can't live up to Brother Jian's hospitality."

"Hahahaha!"

After laughing, Wang Jue said: "An inn is famous far and wide, which can be called the signboard of Pingyao City, and the travelers from all over the world will come here to rest, so it is suitable for us to inquire about the news." ”

Feng Li sighed: "An inn is indeed not small, no matter what else for the time being, it is no problem to accommodate more than 100 people on the first floor of the inn." ”

"How? Or, go to the first floor and sit down, just a little hungry. ”

"Let's go!"

Sima Jiu walked out of the door, and looked back again and asked, "Brother Yuanfeng, will you go together?" ”

Yuanfeng clasped his hands and looked out the window, and coldly refused: "Don't go!" ”

"Brother Yuanfeng likes to be quiet, so let's not disturb his cultivation."

After going downstairs, Sima Jiu and his entourage found a private room and ordered some wine and food.

On the first floor of an inn, the lobby is surrounded by private rooms that are separated from each other.

Although it is called a private room, the private room is only separated by a half-person-high exquisite fence, and of course, the private room has a window.

In the lobby, there are many wine tables and bonsai cleverly arranged, which are staggered and pleasing to the eye.

"This private room really has a great view, and the scene in the lobby can be seen at a glance!"

After Feng Li glanced at the private room, he seemed to be dissatisfied.

Wang Qi said: "Brother Feng, this is a bad word. ”

"Oh? Could it be that the private room is arranged like this, with ulterior motives? ”

"Most people who come to an inn are, perhaps, more than just a simple meal and lodging."

"You mean they have other plans?" Feng Li was puzzled.

"No, no, no, an inn gathers visitors from all over the world, I think, the lobby is so laid out in order to facilitate visitors to make friends and listen to news from all sides."

"After all, apart from inns, there are very few places where people from all over the world can gather."

Sima Jiu smiled evilly: "Perhaps, when you drink and eat, you can still hear some useful information." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "It is indeed possible. ”

At this time, Sima Jiu's gaze swept to the people in the second private room at the main entrance of the lobby, and reminded everyone: "You see, those people's outfits are very different. ”

"Of course it's different, it's Turkic."

"The braided hair and lapel cardigan were the standard decoration of the Turks, and they were easy to identify."

"And what about the people in the private room next door to them?"

"They are Khitans, and they can be distinguished by their clothing, and the Khitans generally wear round-necked, narrow-sleeved, left-hand robes."

Sima Jiu smiled and said, "Yohe, Brother Jiancheng, you seem to know the northern nomads very well!" ”

Li Jiancheng waved his hand again and again, and said modestly: "Where and where, I only know a little bit about it." ”

Just then, there was a noise in the street.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

"Get out of the way!"

On the streets, heavily armed soldiers are evacuating pedestrians.

When the road is cleared, soldiers are spread out on both sides of the road to maintain order.

"How can these soldiers treat us so roughly!"

"You haven't been out lately, have you?"

"Yes!"

"This happens many times almost every day."

"Oh!"

"I heard that the battle on the front line is not going well, His Royal Highness the King of Han is shrinking the front, and many generals have retreated from the front line to our Pingyao City."

"Be quiet, it will be miserable if these soldiers hear you."

"Looking at this battle, I'm afraid that another big man is coming to our Pingyao City."

"Come on, what's the relationship with us little people?"

On both sides of the street, pedestrians complained about the forced evacuation of the soldiers.

Feng Li looked out the window and sighed: "So many soldiers open the road to guard, what a big pomp." ”

"With such a stirring up of the people, maybe it is really a high-ranking official who came to Pingyao City."

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Sima Jiu put down his chopsticks and pointed out the window to remind.

In the middle of the street, nine rows of heavily armed soldiers, shields in one hand and guns in the other, opened the way.

Behind them were six rows of cavalry on tall horses, who occasionally scanned the sides of the street, looking extremely cautious.

After the cavalry, the windows and doors of the five carriages that were moving slowly were closed, making it difficult for people to peek into them.

In the second half of the ranks, there were more than 100 soldiers with sabers.

Their expressions were solemn, their faces were calm, and they invisibly revealed an impersonal indifference.

Li Jiancheng said casually: "These soldiers are the personal guards of the Han Palace. ”

"Interesting, very interesting."

"Why did the ninth brother say this?"

Sima Jiu said meaningfully: "Now it's a fake guard, isn't it interesting to meet a real guard." ”

Suddenly, Li Jiancheng suddenly woke up.

Previously, when they rushed to Pingyao, they passed through many checkpoints along the way under the pretense of being the personal guards of the governor's office.

"Hahahaha!"

After a short time, the convoy drove down the street into the General's Palace, and the street returned to normal.

After the meal, Sima Jiu and the others followed Li Jiancheng's arrangement and went back to their rooms to rest.

"Ninth brother."

"Wake up, wake up!"

In his sleep, Sima Jiu vaguely heard someone calling him, and in an instant, he suddenly opened his eyes, and hurriedly got up as if he was facing a great enemy.

When Sima Jiu saw the person beside him clearly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Jiancheng? What are you doing? ”

"Gone."

"Where to go?"

The most painful thing in the world is to be woken up when you are sleeping.

Sima Jiu looked out the window with an inexplicable look.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"General's Mansion!"

"What do you want to do when you enter the General's Mansion at night?"

"Bad stuff!"
