Chapter 170: The Burning of the Forest

I saw a girl on the carriage half-covered by the curtain, the green jade fingers of the curtain were white and lovely, a side face was warm and indifferent, a few wisps of green silk, with the tiredness of the morning light, disturbed but not cluttered, everything was so harmonious, as if it reflected with the morning glow in the distance.

At this time, the young master of the Nayan Holy Prince's Mansion exploded in his mind like Pangu opening the world, and at this time he could only watch the girl's lips bloom like a glow, but the words that came out of her mouth were like fairy sounds, deaf to her ears.

The young master of the Yansheng Mansion was looking at it intently, and suddenly saw the sinful curtain on the carriage falling, covering the otherworldly girl, and immediately he came to his senses, this person smashed his mouth a few times, and said in his heart: "There was Luo Shen in the past, and now there is the goddess of rolling blinds, wonderful, really wonderful." This person looked at Zhu Youzhen's back walking towards the distance and blurted out: "Childe, wait a moment." Seeing that Zhu Youzhen did not stop, he only thought that Zhu Youzhen was far away and the surrounding sounds did not let him hear it.

The young master of the Yan Shenggong Mansion pushed away the family members who were blocking the way in front of him, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Zhu Youzhen and said, "Childe, childe......"

Zhu Youzhen knew that the young master of the Yansheng Mansion was calling him this time, and he turned to look at the young master in confusion and asked, "Your Excellency, is there anything else?" ”

The young master of the Yansheng Mansion took a step back and bowed to Zhu Youzhen and said, "In the Xiayan Shenggong Mansion, Kong Yinzhi Kong Maojia, I don't know where the son is going?" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know what he meant, so he returned the salute, and then asked, "We are preparing to enter the city, what is Mr. Kong?" ”

Kong Yinzhi said with a smile: "I heard Gongzi's words before, Maojia had some feelings, and those words went straight into Maojia's heart. This time you want to stay in the city? ”

I hadn't seen this Kong Yinzhi so earnest before, Zhu Youzhen didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude, but this person didn't seem to have any malicious intent, since he asked Zhu Youzhen, he replied truthfully: "Exactly." ”

That Kong Yinzhi laughed heartily and said: "Why should the son be so troublesome, I think the son is extraordinary, how can he succumb to the inn?" Childe just taught me a lesson for the house slave, Maojia is grateful, if Childe does not give up, why don't you come to my house for a few days? Childe's insight is extraordinary, and Maojia also took the opportunity to ask Childe for some academic insights. ”

As the so-called nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft, Zhu Youzhen naturally understands that there is no good thing about pie in the sky, not to mention that he is just passing through Qufu on this trip, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Yansheng Mansion, so he shirked and said: "Confucius Gongzi praised falsely, if you talk about knowledge and opinions, how can anyone in this world dare to praise in the Yansheng Mansion, and the little insight in the next is just a futile smile in front of Kong Gongzi, we are just passing by here, and we are going to leave Qufu after a day of rest in the city, so we will not go to the house to bother, and thank Kong Gongzi for his kindness." ”

Kong Yinzhi didn't expect that there were literati in this world who would refuse to be guests in the Yansheng Mansion, which was very unexpected to him, but the goddess was in front, how could he give up like this, he continued: "Don't bother, don't bother, the age is not good now, the inn in this Qufu is also very sloppy, with the demeanor of the son, you will not be used to living in such places, why don't you go to the lower mansion to rest for a day and then set off, Mao Jia ordered someone to prepare good wine and good food to greet you, I want to get drunk with the son." ”

He had already rejected this Kong Yinzhi was still so courteous, which made Zhu Youzhen more vigilant, and he said to Kong Yinzhi: "Have you seen you before?" ”

Kong Yinzhi didn't know why this person suddenly mentioned this, but he still replied honestly: "No." ”

"Does that boy know his next name?"

When Kong Yinzhi heard this, he bowed his hand again and apologized: "It's a rudeness, and I haven't asked my son's surname yet." ”

Zhu Youzhen arched his hand and said, "Under Zhu Wu." ”

That Kong Yinzhi suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhu Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw Kong Yinzhi like that, it really didn't seem like he knew him, so he was so attentive wouldn't be because of his identity, so Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure it out, not because of his identity, then why is this person?

Since he couldn't figure it out in his heart, Zhu Youzhen didn't think much about it, but Zhu Youzhen would not accept this kind of kindness that came out of nowhere, and he didn't talk to this Kong Yinzhi, arched his hand as a thank you, and then turned around and walked directly towards the two carriages behind.

Seeing that this person was so ignorant, Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, and few people in Yanzhou dared to refute his face.

It's just that no matter how angry Kong Yinzhi is, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know, even if he knows, he won't pay attention, he walked past the two carriages, knocked on the carriages of the two carriages a few times, and then said, "Get up and enter the city." ”

Luo Yangxing in the second carriage muttered sleepily, "So early." ”

woke everyone up, Zhu Youzhen went back to his carriage and let Kong Yinzhi watch not far away.

After a while, several carriages drove towards the city, and when the carriage entered the city gate, Kong Yinzhi called a few people who were building sheds, and then whispered a few words in their ears, and after those people nodded to show that they understood, Kong Yinzhi also turned back to his carriage and headed towards the city gate.

After getting Kong Yinzhi's orders, the subordinates of the Yansheng Mansion found a horse by themselves, and then followed Kong Yinzhi's carriage into the city.

Gao Han and Hu Bao were walking on the street on horseback, and after a while, they noticed an abnormality.

Gao Han said to Hu Bao: "It seems that someone is following us." ”

Hu Bao nodded, then slowed down the horse, and when Zhu Youzhen's carriage caught up, Hu Bao whispered to the carriage: "Childe, someone is following us behind." ”

Zhu Youzhen lifted the side curtain of the carriage when he heard this, looked at Hu Baodao, who was parallel to the carriage, and said, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Hu Baodao: "I look like I look like a person from the Yansheng Mansion." ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned and pondered for a moment, since the person who was following him was the people from the Yansheng Mansion, it must be the people outside the city, but he really couldn't understand what Kong Yinzhi wanted to do, why he had to invite him to the Yansheng Mansion for no reason, and after he refused, he had to send someone to follow.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Since you are not a villain, you don't have to pay attention to it, we are our own." ”

Hu Bao replied "yes", and then rode forward to catch up with Gao Han, and told him what Zhu Youzhen said.

It didn't take long for Gao Han to find a decent looking inn, he reined in his horse, and the carriage behind him stopped.

Gao Han got off the horse and entered the inn, but soon, he walked out with a depressed face, out of the inn door, Gao Han walked to Zhu Youzhen's carriage and said: "Childe, this inn is full, let's take a look at the front." ”

Zhu Youzhen replied and ordered the coachman to continue walking.

It's just that almost an hour later, Gao Han asked the three inns in a row that they were all full, and Zhu Youzhen said with some confusion: "This time should be when the inn is empty, how can it be full?" What's more, in this year, the people can't even eat, how can there be so many people living in the hotel? ”

Gao Han said: "Maybe it's still early, and the guest room of the person staying in the hotel at night hasn't been returned yet." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, although what Gao Han said was not unreasonable, but he always felt that there was something strange in it, he just said to Gao Han: "In this case, let's look for it again." ”

Gao Han nodded, and then got back on the horse. Qufu is not small, but it is not big, but it is not big, but just Yansheng Mansion occupies more than 200 acres of land, how big can the rest of Qufu City be?

The group searched for another hour, and almost all the conspicuous inns on the streets of Qufu were searched, but all of them were full, and this last one was not much away from the Yansheng Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen didn't believe in the evil, he also got out of the carriage and entered the inn with Gao Han, and didn't ask if there was a room, so he said: "Shopkeeper, the rest of the guest room today is all inclusive, and I will lead the way." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper saw this person's dress, he knew that this person's identity was good, and with that tone of voice, he must have been the young master in the official mansion. The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly bypassed the counter and came to Zhu Youzhen and Gao Han.

The shopkeeper said apologetically: "Forgive me, the two of you are unlucky, the guest room of the small shop was fully booked not long ago, there is no vacant room at this time, why don't you two change to another home?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a displeased face: "It's full again, or has it been booked, and not long before we came, may I ask who is the owner of the entire inn?" ”

The innkeeper said with an embarrassed face: "This lord forgive me, the person who chartered the inn has explained, so that the villain must not reveal his identity, the villain really can't say." ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly and said: "Hurry up and charter all the inns before us, and hide your identity to prevent anyone from saying that this young master of the Yan Shenggong Mansion is so generous." ”

The innkeeper was shocked when he heard this: "This lord, the villain didn't say that it was an inn chartered by the people of the Yansheng Mansion, why did you say that." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the shopkeeper's shocked face, he didn't want to be embarrassed by the shopkeeper, but this was the last inn that Qufu could find, and he said to the shopkeeper: "Since there is no guest room, forget it, so the master is not embarrassed by you, you go and prepare a table of good wine and good food for the master, if you can't live in the hotel, this food will not be fully covered, right?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "That's not true, the villain will go and tell the back kitchen to prepare it for the two masters." ”

The shopkeeper turned around and was about to walk to the back kitchen, when Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stopped: "It's not the two masters, it's many masters, and you will greet the master with all the good wine and food in your store." As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen threw an ingot of ten taels of silver on the table, and then said: "There is no need to save it, just buy it according to this silver, and then prepare dry food for ten people for three days." ”

The shopkeeper picked up the silver on the table and put it in his arms, and then nodded to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Don't worry, the villain will do it." ”

Just when the shopkeeper entered the back kitchen, Gao Han got up and went out to beckon everyone to get out of the car and eat something first.

Just as everyone entered the inn and just sat at the table waiting for the food to be served, the shopkeeper walked out of the back kitchen stupidly.

The shopkeeper walked straight to the table, and then took out the silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and handed it back to Zhu Youzhen very reluctantly, only to see him say apologetically: "You are really embarrassed, the food in the small shop was used up yesterday, and I haven't had time to buy it today, and it is also the villain's negligence, I didn't notice it in time, so you have been waiting for a long time objectively, and I ask you to forgive me objectively, why don't you go elsewhere to eat." ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he didn't pick up the silver, but gently tapped the table with his hand, and looked at the shopkeeper with a calm face: "It's okay, we are not in a hurry, you can go buy it now, we are waiting here today, when you buy it, we will eat it." ”

The shopkeeper listened to Zhu Youzhen's words and looked at a loss, seeing that Zhu Youzhen just didn't accept the silver, he hurriedly put the silver in both hands on the table in front of Zhu Youzhen, and then said: "This lord forgive me, the guy from the small shop went out to do business, and there are not enough people, so I'm afraid no one will buy it today." ”

Zhu Youzhen retracted the hand that was tapping on the table, then touched his chin and said, "Is this so?" Even so, we are not picky, just bring us what you usually eat, and you will continue to take the money. ”

The shopkeeper was even more embarrassed at this time, and he stammered, "This, this...... Ladies and gentlemen, let's go eat elsewhere, the small shop really has nothing to eat. ”

At this time, Luo Yangxing also saw that something was wrong, someone must be stumbling on them, he took out the waist card of Jinyiwei and slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "Today, the master came to eat with you to give you face, if you are not interested, don't blame the master for being ruthless, didn't you say that you have nothing to eat in the store?" Master let people in to find it now, if you find something to eat, don't blame Master for smashing your shop. ”

The shopkeeper saw that this person was not as gentle as the previous son, and knew that he was a guest who was not good at talking, and he looked at the waist card on the table, which didn't matter, and after recognizing the words on the waist card, the shopkeeper's legs were so frightened that his legs were weak.

The ivory waist card is engraved with several big characters of "Jinyi Wei General Flag", and some other small characters are not clear, but just these words are enough.

The waist card placed on the table is like a knife and axe, a small innkeeper, naturally knows the horror of Jinyiwei, not to mention the general flag of Jinyiwei, even the most ordinary Jinyiwei is not an innkeeper who can be offended.

The innkeeper hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Forgive me, the villain really has no intention of offending, the villain really can't provide food for you, please go elsewhere." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "I didn't expect the Yansheng Mansion to be so hand-eyed, but a young master in the mansion made you so jealous, even the waist card of the Jinyi Guard is useless, since you don't live here, and you don't sell food, then what's the use of this inn open?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen said to Gao Han and Hu Bao: "Go and tear down the signboard of this inn." ”
