Volume 3 Pauling State Chapter 4 Drunkenness and Lodging
Seeing that there was not much food left on the table, and the full barrels had bottomed out, the sisters had no intention of stopping, and still pushed the glass and changed the lamp, smiling happily. It was late at night, and Mu Chen watched the two of them get drunk and prepared to go to the hotel to rest.
"You go and call the boss and ask him to take us to the hotel. Mu Chen commanded.
Mo Cheng got up and walked out the door, but before he could open the door, he was blocked by Chunyue, and said with a red face and slurred words, "... Do... Go, let the boss take it again... Bring a bucket up. ”
Mo Cheng didn't know what to do, so he looked at Mu Chen, Mu Chen came over to support Chunyue, and persuaded: "Go back to sleep, if you drink again, you will vomit, let's go downstairs together." ”
"Mu Chen, it's Mu Chen, sister... Sister, I'll tell you, it's so good... things, how can you spit it, not spit it. ”
"Sister, I think you've drunk too much. Girl, let's go, help them go to rest. ”
"I... I'm not leaving, coming... Sister will give it to you again... Pour a glass, this thing is good, drink... Be especially pleased. With that, she staggered and ran towards the wine barrel, and Mu Chen stopped her and held her in his arms.
"Girl... Be reserved, you can't be like this, right... I'm sorry Mu Chen, I'll pull her away for you. Jiayue also came to her side, saying that she wanted to pull Chunyue away, but it was Mu Chen who reached out and dragged it.
"Whew, two female drunkards. Mu Chen supported one with one hand and stopped the two of them.
"Eh, you... You dare to drag me, let go of my sister, I'll pour it for you... Wine. ”
"Mu Chen, she... She... I'm sorry. ”
"Quick... Let go, be careful sister I... Beat you, I'm Jabek Junyue... With my..."
"You call the call... What is the beast doing, he... He's our friend... I'm sorry. ”
"Well... Friend, isn't he Mu Chen, come... Pour another glass for my sister, my sister doesn't... Hit you. ”
"Whew, whew, usually shy and shy has become arrogant, sharp teeth have become gentle and polite, the magic of this wine is really..."Before Mu Chen could finish sighing, Chunyue broke free from his hand and almost fell, and Jiayue kept leaning on his arms, muttering and apologizing.
Mo Cheng took this opportunity to go downstairs to call the boss, and the boss entered the house and saw the drunk sister hurriedly stepped forward to help, and suggested: "The two wasteland guests have drunk too much? ”
"No, you lead the way to the hotel. ”
"What to bring... Road, I don't go, I still want a bucket. ”
"Chunyue, if you make trouble again, I'll throw you here. Mu Chen raised his voice.
"Don't... Don't, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. ”
"You still dare to talk to my sister... Call, I... I'll hit you. ”
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry. ”
One of the sisters writhed back and forth in Mu Chen's arms and always wanted to break free, and the other stuck to him and hugged him tightly, which should have been a situation controlled by Mu Chen, but it looked more like he was restricted from freedom and unable to move.
The boss was not polite enough to come close to help, so he just stretched out his hand slightly to prevent them from falling. Qiluna and Dark Orange watched blankly, as if they didn't care about themselves.
"Don't make any more trouble, I'm not welcome to make trouble again. Mu Chen was a little impatient, and it had been procrastinating for almost half an hour.
"Hey, you're also... Dare to threaten me, sister I... I'm not to be trifled with. ”
"Don't... Don't hit me, how cute I am. ”
"I can't take it anymore, girl. Mu Chen winked at Qi Luna.
"Girl... Who is it, sister, me..."Junyue was hit in the neck by Qi Luna from behind in the middle of her words, and she instantly collapsed and fainted.
"Don't... Don't hit me, I..."
Mu Chen supported the two sisters who had fallen asleep with his arms, lifted them on his shoulders one after another, and said to the boss, "Lead the way, go to the hotel." ”
"Can you do it yourself, I'd better find someone to carry you over. ”
"No, lead the way. ”
The boss took them downstairs, and walked another block west to reach the hotel, the innkeeper first saw Mu Chen carrying two women, and then saw the patriarch behind him, he didn't dare to ask about the situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Patriarch, are you staying? His clerk said to leave five rooms, but he didn't say who would stay there, I will change you to the most spacious and comfortable room now, and you wait for me to find someone to rearrange it." ”
"The Patriarch and this lord, you rest, and I will go back. The restaurateur pretended not to hear the complaint and hurried away.
"No need to change rooms, take us upstairs and settle these two first. ”
The innkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Chen, who didn't speak, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a sidekick who contributed, and he didn't have the right to speak at all.
"Move, didn't you hear it, hurry up and take us upstairs. Mo Cheng repeated it again with an arrogant attitude.
"Eh, okay, come with me. "There is almost no one in Baoling City who doesn't know Mo Cheng, she follows the Patriarch all the year round, and no one dares to contradict her except for the young city lord.
Mu Chen followed the boss to the second floor, there were five rooms in a row, the room was not big, a bed, a dining table, two chairs, and a basin of water was placed on the wooden shelf in the corner for washing, which should be the most ordinary room.
Mu Chen settled the sisters in the innermost two rooms, he chose the middle to check in, Qi Luna followed him and went in, Mo Cheng stood outside the door and didn't understand her intentions.
"Girl, you go to the next room. ”
"Don't go. ”
"Isn't there a vacant room here, what are you doing with me? ”
"Not separated. ”
"I'm not leaving, didn't I say, I'm looking for you when I come back, and I'm not leaving. ”
"Not assured. ”
"Okay, whatever you want. After Mu Chen finished speaking, he lay on the bed and stopped arguing with her.
Kiruna pulled out a chair and sat down, lifted her feet to the table, and said to Dark Orange at the door, "Close the door." ”
Mo Cheng closed the door and entered another room with a disappointed face. Five people lived in four rooms and slept in each.
Lao Chen's subordinates in the council who arranged to find the patriarch also came back to report, telling her the restaurant where she dined and the hotel where she stayed one by one, including how many dishes she ate and what room she stayed in.
"Okay, I got it. Don't rest, ride the fastest horse, go to Diyang overnight to inform the old city lord, tell him everything that happened here, especially the news of Mu Chen's return, remember, don't make a noise, you can only let the old city lord know, come back as soon as he makes a decision, don't delay. "Lao Chen's full name is Chen You, he is in his fifties this year, not tall, gray hair, he has been with the old city lord since he was a child, he grew up with the old city lord, he is loyal to him, the old city lord gave way back to the Diyang capital and deliberately left him behind, not only to serve the young city lord, but also to monitor the every move of other nobles by the way, usually he will regularly send people to Diyang to report, this time Mu Chen's appearance surprised him, so he adjusted the deployment as soon as possible.
After arranging this matter, he went to the centurion on duty in the square, and told him to send guards to the hotel to stand guard for the Patriarch, and if there were any other changes, he would come back immediately to report them, and he must know the specific whereabouts of the Patriarch. In the end, he went to inform the young city lord and his wife, and the young city lord slept peacefully after knowing Qiluna's whereabouts, and the lady did not let go of her heart, and found a maid to go out of the council overnight to ventilate and report the news, she and Lao Chen's reactions were basically the same, but the notification was not the same person.
On the side of the hotel, the boss had just come down from the upper floor, and he was still fidgeting for the inappropriate arrangement of the room, when he heard the sound of the guards marching outside the door, so he went out to check, and the two fully armed soldiers in front of him stared back at him at the same time, so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and closed the door without daring to ask.
The night was spent peacefully, and the rest of the guests didn't know what was going on except for the boss.
The next morning, about fifteen soldiers stood on either side of the door, the same number across the street, with serious expressions and statue-like immobility, except for a ten-captain pacing back and forth, looking restless.
Most of the pedestrians passing back and forth on the street did not dare to approach when they saw such a battle, and chose other roads to detour from a long distance, and even if some people passed through here, they were cautious and quietly stepped up, for fear that their actions would be noticed by these soldiers and bring unnecessary trouble.
The atmosphere of the military and civilians in Baoling City is not like this in normal times, although the army has always maintained a majestic and disciplined style, but it is generally not as unsmiling and fierce as it is today, and people with a discerning eye know that something is happening at a glance and should not be involved.
The customers who came out of the hotel were even more unlucky, and the usual check-out and exit were now turned into a baptism of the eyes of the guards before they could leave safely, most of them were surprised at first, and then deferential. The ten-marnition, pacing back and forth, stopped and looked carefully whenever a guest walked out, for fear of missing the Patriarch and his party.
The boss sat in the store listlessly checking out, he knew that according to the current situation, only not in and out, no one dared to come to the door, today's business is not going on, but more worried is the Patriarch's mood, he saw the Patriarch sitting on a chair last night, in the same room with the attendant he thought he thought, and did not come out at night, the room was poor, plus he seemed to know the secret that should not be known, and he was uneasy. kept cursing the restaurant owner, blaming him for not explaining clearly, which offended the patriarch.
Mu Chen and Qi Luna slept soundly, they were all relaxed because they saw the person they had been looking for, although Qi Luna slept in an uncomfortable position, but her posture had not changed since she put her legs on the table, and she had never woken up.
The two sisters in the wasteland were even more deeply asleep, with a big meal and a barrel of wine, their sleeping posture was natural and comfortable, and they couldn't tell that they were knocked unconscious by Qi Luna, and they still had a shallow smile on their faces from time to time, and they slept sweetly.
Mo Cheng tossed and turned on the bed, although she lived in a room by herself, she didn't understand why the Great Patriarch stayed in Mu Chen's room, and waited for her to come out all night with her ears pricked up, until dawn, she barely closed her eyes.
The soldiers standing guard outside reported to the council every once in a while that the young city lord wanted to go early in the morning, but he was afraid that they were still resting and would lose their identity, so he asked someone to report back to their condition from time to time, ready to leave at any time.
