This trip to Chang'an was not an urgent matter, Guan Yan, Dian Wei and Jia Xu pretended to be merchants and leisurely traveled all the way to the west.

Guan Yan suddenly remembered that Jia Xu was kidnapped by thieves and pretended to be Duan Cheng's descendants to escape, and couldn't help but make fun of it.

After two days of traveling west, Hangu Kanto arrived at Hongnong County, which is where Zhang Ji started.

Hongnong County is close to Luoyang, and compared with other counties in the world, Hongnong County is naturally much more prosperous.

"It's getting dark, let's rest here for the night today!" Guan Yan looked at the sky and said to the two.

The afterglow of the setting sun urged the people of all shapes to go back to rest early, and after a while, only Guan Yan and his party were left, each leading the horses, walking on the bluestone-paved streets, and the sound of horses' hooves of "tick~tick~" was particularly crisp.

"Brother Zhang, you are really majestic today! Shopkeeper Li of the East Street Wine Shop didn't dare to bubble! A shout came from around the corner, and Guan Yan saw that four or five soldiers were staggering forward. A person on the side was on his shoulders on a middle-aged man in the middle, laughing wildly.

"Of course!" The man called "Brother Zhang" in the middle patted his chest: "I haven't heard of paying for wine in Hongnong County!" Then Li San wanted to bubble, he repaired it last time, so he was honest! ”

There was another burst of wild laughter, and several soldiers complimented Brother Zhang again.

Walking in front of him, Guan Yan took the initiative to flash to the side of the road, let go of the middle avenue, a pungent smell of wine came, and Guan Yan subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

An action, but it attracted the attention of "Brother Zhang".

"Who are you waiting for? Hiccup~~~~" A wine burp, extremely smelly, Guan Yan frowned, stretched out his hand and fanned it: "We are Luoyang merchants, go to Changfang to handle goods!" ”

"Merchant?" Another soldier said: "It's night, you have violated the 'curfew', hurry up with us to the government to ask for the guilt!" ”

Dian Wei heard that the tower-like body was already in front of Guan Yan, and I was afraid that as long as these people dared to take a step forward, they would immediately die on the spot.

Guan Yan didn't want to cause trouble in vain, so he gently pushed Dian Wei away, took out a bag of coins from asking for money, and said with a smile: "The road is in a hurry, I came here, as the saying goes, 'those who don't know are not to blame', I am willing to pay a fine to atone for my sins, please let a few adults be accommodating!" ”

The heavy money bag was handed over, and "Brother Zhang" took it easily, weighed the weight, and his confused eyes came to the spirit: "Good to say, easy to say!" Since the objective newcomer has just arrived, this matter will not be investigated! With that, he waved his hand and motioned for Guan Yan and the others to leave quickly.

At this moment, a cold snort came from behind him: "The investigation and punishment of the curfew is a matter for the government officials, and you wait for the pawns, and the more than you do, I'm afraid it's true to ask for benefits!" ”

Everyone followed the sound and saw a bearded man standing not far behind him.

"Yo he~" "Brother Zhang" walked slowly to the bearded man with a pace that his six relatives did not recognize: "I, Zhang Jin, have been in Hongnong for three years, and no one dares to talk to me like this!" I think you look like a thief! ”

"Yes, let's catch it first!" All the soldiers immediately surrounded them and were about to do it.

"Slow!" The bearded man took out an official document from his arms and presented it to Zhang Jin: "I am an official of Hedong County, and I am here on business, and I have documents as evidence!" ”

There was an official document, Zhang Jin was stunned on the spot for a while, and after a while, a layer of coldness appeared on his face, and he came to the big man: "Boy, my uncle is this Hongnong Changshi, don't fall into my hands!" Let's go! ”

With a shout, several soldiers followed Zhang Jinyang's head.

After the bearded man looked at the back of Zhang Jin and the others leaving, he snorted coldly, then walked forward by himself, and when he walked to Guan Yan's side, the two only glanced at each other, and did not communicate with each other.

"Let's go!" Guan Yan and his entourage continued to walk forward.

"Hongnongyi."

Looking up at the signboard, when he arrived at the place, Guan Yan took the lead in entering.

This era is not like the Ming and Qing dynasties when there were any "inns" everywhere, but there are "posts" every 40 miles and "pavilions" every 20 miles on the post roads in various states, which are not only for the food and lodging of past officials, but also open to the people, which is a bit of the nature of a commercial hotel.

As soon as I entered the inn, a familiar voice sounded again:

"What? Only firewood room? I'm a court official, why do I want to live in a firewood room? ”

Guan Yan saw that it was the bearded man who was fighting with the shopkeeper of the post station at this time. And the attendant was looking at the big man with disdain. It's no wonder that this assistant official is just a small official with a rank of 100 stones, and this is not in this county, so naturally it will not open the door for you to be convenient.

"Shop, stay overnight!" Dian Wei stepped forward and said simply.

The attendant looked at Guan Yan and the others, but still didn't have a good face: "There is only a firewood room!" ”

Dian Wei looked back at Guan Yan, Guan Yan smiled: "Okay, the firewood room is the firewood room, and the store can help make a bowl of hot soup!" ”

Saying that, Guan Yan made a gesture, and Dian Wei took out a few coins from his arms and put them in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face softened slightly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door behind him: "Turn left at the entrance, a few people will rest first, and the hot soup will be delivered later."

Guan Yan nodded, and took Jia Xu and Dian Wei to the firewood room on their own.

The firewood room is naturally extremely simple, except for the mud walls that leak on all sides, and the formwork above the head is also full of holes. Fortunately, it has entered spring, and the cold in the middle of the night is far less than the biting bones of winter, as long as it does not rain, this firewood room can still be used overnight.

The three of them chatted casually, and after a while, the store brought hot soup and a few servings of crude food, accompanied by the bearded man.

The big man found a corner, threw down the salute, fell down on the pillow, and then casually pulled a piece of hay from under him and bit it in his mouth, very leisurely.

This big man doesn't seem to like to talk much, but it seems a little embarrassing to be in the same room, and he doesn't say anything, Guan Yan stood up, walked next to the big man, and arched his hand: "Thank you for speaking up!" ”

When Dahan heard this, he straightened up, glanced at Guan Yan, and replied tepidly: "It's okay, such a soldier is lawless, if he is in Hedong, I will do him on the spot today!" ”

It can be seen that this big man is jealous and hateful.

"Hehe, I'm waiting for businessmen, and I don't dare to complain." Guan Yan pointed to the food behind him, and then said, "Come on, come on, adults haven't eaten yet, let's eat some indiscriminately!" ”

Dahan looked at the hot food, and a gurgling sound sounded in his stomach very cooperatively, Dahan was not hypocritical, he stood up and arched his hand at Guan Yan: "Okay, then thank you sir!" ”
