Chapter 56: The Old Iron Inn
"If I have the opportunity, I also want to see this good friend who is so attentive to the concession marquis."
"There's a chance." Bu Shaoyuan replied expressionlessly.
"Although, we grew up wearing a pair of pants, but there is no guarantee that one day we will not be separated, do you really want to waste this opportunity?" Que Qing asked for advice one last time.
"I will continue to stay in the White Tiger Camp, if I can go to the battlefield one day, you will be happy for me! Serving the motherland and defending the territory is where my ambition lies. β
Bu Shaoyuan rarely confided his ambition to others, although his ambition is obvious.
Bu Shaoyuan, you are so angry!
Or rather, you are an existence that I love and hate.
"Oh, this is to grab the position of the general, what do you think of Zhou Huanchun?" Que Qing did not forget to give Bu Shaoyuan hatred.
"After the Marquis of Bujun becomes a general, don't forget our friends!" Zhou Huanchun didn't follow Que Qing's words.
"Well, if you have a life and a heart, you should never forget it." Bu Shaoyuan nodded solemnly.
"What about the more you are doing for a while?" Que Qing's inquiring gaze fell on Yue Jinzi.
After a while, he came back to his senses, his face was red, and he said embarrassedly: "I didn't think so far, I just want to stay in the White Tiger Camp to prepare meals for the generals, and I am very satisfied to be able to become the head chef!" β
Que Qing raised her eyebrows, "Then I can't ask for it, but if Bu Shaoyuan wants to go to the battlefield, I must go over to help him!" I'm going to hit ten! β
Bu Shaoyuan couldn't help but joke with Que Qing: "Forget it, you're far worse than Pinjian!" It's hard to hit one! Let's go back and practice for another three years! β
Que Qing pedaled Bu Shaoyuan and said, "You dare to look down on me, come on!" Let's try it out now......"
Two days later, Zhou Huanchun, Xia Zhanshu and others were already on their way back to the General's Mansion.
After Zhou Jinmu's relics in the No. 12 barracks are confirmed by Zhou Huanchun, they will be sent back to the General's Mansion by the post envoy.
Before leaving, she carefully checked Zhou Jinmu's relics again and found no problems.
It seems that Zhou Jinmu did commit many acts of injustice and committed suicide.
As for not killing "Xiao Huang", she has her own explanation after returning home, and the assassin of "Wind Hidden Shadow" can only be investigated after returning home.
Today, only ...... are left
When Zhou Huanchun thought like this, Xiao Cheng was already frowning, twisted his toes in place, beat his shoulders, and said with a bitter face: "Miss, why should we put a good Haonan official road and not take it, and don't sit in a good mahogany carriage, but run to this barren mountain and wilderness to take a long detourββ"
"-I have to go around to the east gate of the hazy to enter the inner city of the real hazy!"
"Of course, it's becauseβlook!"
Zhou Huanchun raised his hand and pointed to the sky, only to see that everyone was in the ginkgo forest, with blue fields and white clouds, golden forests, and a color everywhere, this is Huang Shandao.
Zhou Huan Chunxing's eyes narrowed slightly, admiring while walking, "It is recorded in the "Illustrated Chronicles of the True Hazy City" that the Huangshan Road in the south of the thousands of miles of dirty land is full of precious ginkgo biloba that is planted with evergreen gold in all seasons, and when I see it today, I am really breathtaking! β
"That's why I decided to take a long detour to enjoy such a wonderful view!"
Xia Zhanshu also touched his beard and said with admiration: "In the past many years, the contemptible people have lived in the General's Mansion, and they have seen and heard less on the rivers and lakes!" β
"It's Senior Xia's modesty! Regarding the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I still have to ask Senior Xia for more advice! Zhou Huanchun waved her hand and shook her head.
Xia Zhanshu looked cold and happy, and slowly said: "The eldest lady is a smart person, and she doesn't dare to teach the contemptible, but since the contemptible person is a member of the General's Mansion, it is right to take care of the eldest lady when she goes out to the General's Mansion." β
Zhou Huanchun smiled and nodded, thinking about it in her heart.
In fact, the reason why she chose to return to the General's Mansion from Huang Shandao was not just to enjoy the wonders......
β¦β¦
There is a strange person in the real city, whose name is Yuan Qiyi.
He claimed that none of the things that happened in the city of Zhenhao were unknown to him, and none of them were unknown to him, but the land under Zhou Huanchun's feet was an exception.
Huang Shan Road, a special place.
According to the power of attorney issued by Yuan Qiyi, pedestrians passing by Huang Shan will invariably and inexplicably lose their money and belongings, but they can't remember how and where they lost their money.
There was once a lost owner who found Yuan Qiyi, who was well-versed in Pepsi, to inquire about the disappearance of money, and he was asked by the owner when he claimed to know nothing!
Subsequently, he went to Wong Shan Road to investigate, but to no avail.
So later, he decided to recruit heroes to investigate the matter for him, and at the same time, he also promised that if any hero could help him investigate the matter, he would repay the hero's dedication and unconditionally help the hero do something within his ability.
This person is indeed recorded on the "Chronicles of the True Hazy City", Zhou Huanchun thought, if he can give the totem painted by Zhou Jiemeng to the strange man of the rivers and lakes to look at, maybe he really knows what the meaning behind the totem is......
Before going to Feilin Garden, she had already sent a message to Yuan Qiyi's residence, saying that she accepted his commission.
That's why Zhou Huanchun came here to investigate.
With this concern, Zhou Huanchun couldn't help but look upright, her lips opened slightly, and reminded Xiaocheng that everyone was humane: "Although the scenery here is beautiful and refreshing, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, but since there is a precedent for deep dark forests......"
"This is also a wild place, and we still can't take it lightly!"
Xiao Cheng suddenly looked nervous, couldn't help but probe his brain, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that there are tigers here?" β
Not wanting the atmosphere to be too cold and tense, Zhou Huanchun smiled and said, "What are you afraid of!" Senior Xia and I'm still here! β
Xiao Pu pushed his glasses and nodded.
Zhou Huanchun continued to remind: "There are still ......"
β¦β¦
The hour shifted, the sunset was in the west, the red glow dyed the apricot leaves, and the autumn was everywhere, Zhou Huanchun and his party had a good time on the road, and nothing happened.
Unable to return to the inner city within a day, everyone had to settle down at the small inn in the description of "The Illustrated Chronicle of the True Hazy City".
Zhou Huanchun and others walked steadily to the front of the inn, and when they looked up, they saw that the ink plaque in front of the inn was written from left to right in transparent green characters - "Old Iron Inn".
As soon as he stepped on the threshold, the thin little two, who was dressed in gray-yellow caftan brown, greeted Zhou Huanchun and the others with a smile, and said cheerfully and enthusiastically: "Please be in the guest officer!" β
Walking to the house, I saw that the "old iron inn" was "a little sparrow", the tables and chairs in the dining room of the inn were neat, behind the front desk cabinet, the wine jar was listed, and the bookkeeper in a dark coat in the light sky was "da-da-da" with one hand to move the abacus, and when he saw the arrival of guests, he showed his unique professional smile.
His expression was sincere, and his tone was calm, "Guest officer, do you want to be sharp, or do you want to stay in the hotel?" β
"Yes, four rooms plus dinner." Xiao Cheng's chest was pressed against his back when he was already hungry, and he hurriedly gathered in front of the front desk cabinet to reply.
The bookkeeper nodded again and again, and wrote hard.
"Okay, please come with me." Thin Xiao Er first led everyone to the empty table, and after gently wiping the table with a rag, he invited the guests to sit down.
The conversation between the tables was incessant, and there was a bit of noise in the collection.
Zhou Huanchun and the others also sat down, thin and sharp-eyed, and immediately saw that Zhou Huanchun was the one in charge of this group, and hurriedly handed the menu to Zhou Huanchun.
Zhou Huanchun "gossiped" with the shopkeeper while looking at the menu: "What a clever shopkeeper, how long have you been here?" β
Seeing the customer's question, it would be rude not to answer, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment!" The small one started from the beginning of the store, and he followed our shopkeeper Ji Rutie to run the hall here! β
Zhou Huanchun nodded and handed the menu to the rest of the people.
She sat on the stool, looked up around the customer stack, raised her eyebrows, and praised again: "Create a store? I think the tables in this store are brand new and elegantly decorated, so they must have only recently opened, right? Is there any discount for staying in the hotel? β
Seeing the other party's sudden bargaining, Slender Xiaoer couldn't help but be stunned, he thought for a while before replying respectfully: "The guest officer said that it was funny, the 'Old Iron Inn' has been in business for five years, and it looks like a newly opened inn, just because it has just been renovated recently." β
Zhou Huanchun looked at the thin little two, and asked "unrelentingly": "Really, you didn't lie to people because you didn't want to get a discount!" β
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! β
"This matter is true, the most important thing to do business is to be honest, where do you dare to talk nonsense in front of the guest officer." The thin two were full of smiles, overcoming rigidity with softness, wanting to resolve Zhou Huanchun's bargaining.
"Okay." Zhou Huanchun agreed in disappointment, and did not dwell on this matter anymore, she raised her voice and asked Xia Zhanshu and the others, "Have you thought about what you want to eat?" β
They nodded solemnly.
Subsequently, Zhou Huanchun and others verbally reported the food they ordered to Slender Xiaoer, and after he seriously wrote down the name of the dish, he leaned over and said to Zhou Huanchun respectfully: "It will take a while to serve the food, during this period, please use some wine first, please forgive me for the negligence of the restaurant." β
With that, he slowly retreated to the back kitchen.
Zhou Huanchun responded to Xiao Er's words, reached out to pick up the teapot, and poured water for everyone.
"Let's have tea first!"
There was no objection from everyone.
Squinted at Zhou Huanchun and others holding a cup of tea, the thin little two turned around and lowered their heads, and a smile of unknown meaning was hooked on their lips.
After three or two cups of tea, Zhou Huanchun and the others' eyelids became heavier and heavier, and they soon lay on the table unconscious.
The thin little two, who had just entered the back kitchen, reappeared very efficiently, his eyes showed evil light, and he wanted to reach out and put his hand on the shoulder of Zhou Huanchun, who was sleeping peacefully......
And the people who were originally laughing around were suddenly quiet at this moment!
They got up slowly and quietly approached the table of Zhou Huanchun and the others.
At the moment when the slender second's hand touched Zhou Huanchun, Zhou Huanchun's eyes widened, her five fingers became claws, her internal strength was raised, and she quickly buckled the slender second's hand, so that she couldn't break free, and then, she turned around and grabbed the slender second, and pressed him on the table with a "snap", the thin second tilted his head, his eyes hinted, and everyone who still wanted to step forward retreated one after another.
Zhou Huanchun's sword eyebrows were cold, her smile was full of autumn frost, and her red lips opened slightly: "Say it!" Who are you? Where is the real Ji Rutie? β
Why does runic water fail, and what is going on?
The thin little two, who had no time to think about the details, said "innocently": "What are you talking about, guest officer?" I don't understand what you mean by that! Put the small ones first, have something to say, have something to say......"
Zhou Huan Chunxing's eyes were bright, and he said coldly and angrily: "Stop acting!" I've seen through your lies! β
"The Illustrated Chronicle of the True Hazy City was published ten years ago, and at that time, Huang Shan Road was already marked with 'Lao Tie Inn', but you just said that 'Lao Tie Inn' was established five years ago!"
The thin second child lost his mind in a hurry, and hurriedly explained with a red face: "This and this...... It's me who remembers wrong! The guest officer better let me go first, and we have something to talk about......"
"Misremembered? You can be sure that this is true! Forgot about it so quickly? Zhou Huanchun asked sarcastically.
