Fenzhou, the county seat of Xihe County.

"Mr. Mo, how did you sleep last night? You're almost rested, aren't you? ”

In the hall on the first floor of the best inn in the county, Penglai Inn, Li Tai asked Mo Trai while eating breakfast with Tie Dan and others.

This time, the college dispatched a total of thirty-two killer engineering members, most of them are students, and some of them are gentlemen from the physics department of the college.

"Huh! This inn is not bad, it is very quiet at night, I see that everyone is very energetic, I think I should have rested very well last night! After breakfast for a while, we set off, which is more than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, and we will definitely not be able to catch it today. Let's stop at noon, strive to settle in Qi County before dark, start from Qi County tomorrow morning, and arrive in Taiyuan probably tomorrow evening! ”

Mo Chui smiled and replied with a relaxed expression.

Before leaving, Yan Silu also specially explained to him, along the way, the teachers and students of the academy must eat, drink and live well, and must not feel sorry for money, this is what Yan Silu meant, and what Li Zexuan meant!

Because the thirty-two people in this line are all elite members of the academy's killer project, they are the "baby bumps" of the academy, this time to the north, the road is long, the car and horses are tired, the students are already very hard, the academy naturally can't suffer them in terms of food and housing!

Therefore, all the way from Lantian County to Xihe County, Mo Chui and the academy lived in the best inn and ate the most delicious food, in order to alleviate the pain of the students' travel and fatigue on the road!

"Hmmm! Then bring some dry food and strive to arrive in Qi County tonight! ”

Li Tai nodded and decided.

Although he is a student and Mo Chui is a gentleman, he is the commander-in-chief of this northward operation, and the person who makes the final decision should naturally be him.

And Mo Trai also recognizes Li Tai's talent in engineering, so along the way, he is not unhappy about Li Tai's overall situation and command and scheduling, but he is willing to help Li Tai check and fill in the gaps on the side, because although Li Tai was born in the royal family and is born with a certain command ability, but after all, he is young and not as rich as Mo Trai in terms of life experience, and often at this time, Mo Trai needs to come forward!

After the two agreed, Dugu Xin walked in from outside at this time, and whispered in Li Tai's ear: "Your Highness, the last general has ordered the scout team to take the lead in opening the way, and the rest of the army can be drawn at any time, waiting for His Highness to go out of the city and converge!" ”

Although Mo Chui chartered the entire inn last night, and there were no other guests in the inn hall at this time, Dugu Xin, who was used to staying in the army, was very vigilant, and he still chose to use this way of speaking, in order to avoid revealing the whereabouts of Li Tai and others!

This time, along with the teachers and students of the academy, there are also a thousand palace forbidden troops led by Dugu Xin and Dugu Feiying, because the mission of this trip involves confidentiality, they did not alarm the local government along the way, and when they met the county seat, the people of the academy entered the city to live in the inn, and the thousand forbidden troops were secretly stationed outside the city, under normal circumstances, Dugu Xin would take a few personal guards to protect Li Tai, and Dugu Feiying was leading the army outside the city!

It's not Li Tai, Mo Chui and others who treat them differently, but the students and gentlemen of the academy, their physical fitness is definitely not as good as that of soldiers like Dugu Xin who have been in the army for many years, and the carriage and horses along the way are already very hard, if they are allowed to sleep in the camp tent outside the city like the forbidden army, it is estimated that most of the people in the academy have fallen before they reach Taiyuan!

"Hmmm! Are the supplies of the College safe? ”

Li Tai nodded and asked softly.

When coming out of Lantian County, there were three carriages in the carriage team of the academy loaded with machines, parts and other materials needed to build a telegraph relay station, and this kind of important thing naturally could not be brought into the city or into the inn.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the supplies are safe!"

Dugu Xin replied briefly.

If you can take away the three carriages of materials from the academy under the guard of a thousand forbidden troops, unless the enemy can send five thousand soldiers and horses to kill all the thousand forbidden troops, it is absolutely impossible to take away the materials of the academy.

"That's good!"

Li Tai nodded, and at this time he had almost eaten, so he got up and said to Tie Dan, Meng Wenhao, Mo Chui and the others around him: "Everyone hurry up and eat and drink, go back to the room to pack up after eating, and go out of the city together in half an hour!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone whispered yes.

The innkeeper and the little guy not far away, but they didn't dare to say a word when they saw this scene, and they didn't even dare to look here, because Dugu Xin and the people around him were holding swords in their hands, and they weren't easy to mess with!

Those who do business understand that more is better than less, and the innkeeper instructed his servants to wait carefully for Li Tai's gang last night, and don't ask a word that shouldn't be asked, he only thinks that Li Tai and these people are Haoqiang from a place in another county passing by here, and if they can not provoke, they will not provoke!

Half an hour later, the thirty-two people of the academy plus Dugu Xin and other cadres all left the inn and walked towards the city gate.

"Shopkeeper, what do you say these people are from? The carriages they rode in were all made by the Wonder Pavilion! ”

After Li Tai and the others left, the innkeeper couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Maybe it's the son of which family is traveling~!"

Although the shopkeeper was also curious in his heart, he faintly replied to the little girl's words.

"Hey! The chubby young man must be the son of the big family, and the person who just walked in was the guard of their family, but I saw that the young man sitting next to the boy didn't seem to be his servants! ”

The little guy pinched his chin and guessed very seriously.

"Smack~!"

It's just that his voice fell, and the shopkeeper's slap also fell on the back of his head, only to hear the shopkeeper roar angrily: "Are you idle, who are you in charge of, and where do you come from?" Quickly bring someone to wipe down the table and clean up the guest room! ”

The little guy was in pain for a moment, and hurriedly jumped to the side, rubbed the back of his head and responded, "Oh! I'll go! ”

"Hey! Curiosity kills the cat, this kid will suffer sooner or later! ”

The shopkeeper looked at the back of the little guy and muttered to himself.

However, his attention was quickly attracted by the stack of Tang Yuan on the account desk in front of him, which was the money that Mo Chui had just paid him. Penglai Inn is also the largest inn in Xihe County, with nearly 50 guest rooms, Li Tai and his party chartered the inn this time, and the room price for one night is a lot!

"What do they do? Just pay for the room! ”

The shopkeeper picked up the stack of Tang Yuan and said with a smile.

"Yo~! Guest officer, do you eat so early or stay at the hotel? ”

At this moment, a big man with dark skin and a coarse cloth short coat came from outside the door, and Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, but the big man ignored him at all and walked straight towards the shopkeeper at the account counter.

"Shopkeeper, did there be dozens of teenagers staying in your inn last night?"

The big man knocked on the account table, said in an authentic Guanzhong tone, looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"Yo, guest officer, this is a place for us to stay in a hotel, not a place to inquire about news!"

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, he listened to the other party's accent, and knew that the other party was likely to be from the capital, but the other party was dressed like a rich man at all, so he didn't bother to take care of it!

"Smack~!"

Who knows, the big man took out a hanging copper coin from his waist, slapped it in front of the shopkeeper with a "snap", and then said: "This is consistent money, if you answer a few questions truthfully, a certain family will be thanked!" ”

Consistent money, for Tang Chu, who has extremely low prices, in the eyes of ordinary people, consistent money is already a huge amount of money, the shopkeeper is naturally rich, not bad for this consistent money, but answer a few questions, you can get consistent money, for him, it is still a very cost-effective deal, but he is a little strange, the other party hangs so many copper coins on the body is not too heavy?

Here, I have to say that since the establishment of Yanhuang Qianzhuang and the promotion of Tang Yuan by the imperial court, more and more people in the Tang Dynasty began to slowly use and gradually accept Tang Yuan, and after getting used to the convenience brought by Tang Yuan, almost no one will be willing to use copper coins anymore, especially in Guanzhong, where it is basically difficult to see copper coins in large transactions in many states and counties!
