The hotel is less than 500 steps away from the city gate, and there are a few families sparsely distributed around, and it is really very quiet, I don't know what the source of customers is on weekdays.

The headcatchers of Sanchuan Mansion first stepped forward to say a few words to Xiao Er, then retreated, guarding the periphery of the hotel, and after a while, the shopkeeper ran out, his head bowed as high as his waist, "Welcome to the military masters to settle in the shop, military masters, please ...... inside"

Li Zicheng took Mu Sirong and accompanied by He Xiaomi into the hotel, picked a Tianzi room on the second floor, and the soldiers went to gather the horses.

The shopkeeper had already seen that Li Zicheng was the leader of this army, and he personally came in with tea, "Don't hide it from the military master, the small shop is too small, these hundreds of military masters...... I'm afraid that the small shop is not connected to the shop......"

"It doesn't matter, they are soldiers, as long as they set up a tent outside the store," Li Zicheng picked up the tea poured by the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have any food?" ”

"Yes, yes, but ......" The shopkeeper glanced at Li Zicheng and stopped suddenly.

"There's not enough food, right?" Li Zicheng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, in the entire Sanchuan Mansion, I'm afraid there is no hotel that can cook meals for five or six hundred people, you say, how many people's meals can be cooked?" ”

Li Zicheng thought that when he entered Xining, his own soldiers would camp outside the city, or simply enter the military camp in the city to stay, so as not to harass the shopkeepers.

The shopkeeper was busy with a stack of voices: "Hey, hey, thank you for the size of the military master, the small shop can make meals for up to 100 people......"

"That's okay, you can quickly make meals for 100 people, and our meals will be sent directly!" Li Zicheng waited for the shopkeeper to leave, so he asked He Xiaomi to pass the order, leaving a hundred households, and the rest of the people scattered to various taverns in the city to eat by themselves.

He Xiaomi was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Zicheng again, "Xiaomi, arrange fifty brothers to take care of the carriage, and they can't leave for half a step, whoever dares to approach will be killed!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi doesn't understand, a carriage, what is there to look at, is there anyone who will come to steal the carriage? However, the Governor of the Metropolitan said that it must be reasonable, and hurriedly went to pass the order, so that the hundred households who stayed to eat would take turns to eat, and half of the people watched the carriage.

Li Zicheng had dinner and originally wanted to take Mu Sirong to the city for a walk, but the shopkeeper told him that at night, except for the Qinglou and the tavern, the city was dark.

Li Zicheng and Mu Sirong didn't want to go to these two places, so they had to wash and sleep and lie on the kang bed.

Mu Sirong slept in the carriage for half a morning, and in the afternoon she lay in Li Zicheng's arms, talking without a pair, and did not experience the fatigue of the journey, but was more excited, she rarely took the initiative to put her head into Li Zicheng's arms, and murmured: "The Governor of the Metropolitan ......"

She closed her eyes slightly, plucked up her courage, and kept cheering herself up in her heart: be brave, be brave......

"Rong'er, aren't you tired after a day's journey?" Li Zicheng gently stroked her face.

"The servant is not tired," Mu Sirong's words were a little stiff, "It's the Metropolitan Governor, for the sake of the servant, I'm afraid I'm tired......"

"It's okay, go to bed early, I'm not tired!" Li Zicheng took Mu Sirong's head into his arms and stroked her hair.

"The maid can't sleep......" Mu Sirong's voice was full of temptation, and she wrapped her hand around Li Zicheng's waist.

If Li Zicheng didn't understand Mu Sirong's mind, he wouldn't be a man, he originally thought that Mu Sirong was tired and her body was not in the best condition, so he wouldn't toss her, the journey has just begun, and there is time!

He sniffed at the faint breath emanating from Mu Sirong's neck, and the desire gradually rose in his heart, and he turned around lightly and pressed half of Mu Sirong's body, "Rong'er, there's nothing fun about the hotel, I want to work hard, and then sleep early!" ”

"Metropolitan Governor......" Mu Sirong muttered, but she didn't know what to say......

At dawn the next day, Mu Sirong served Li Zicheng and finished dressing, and asked the store for face water, serving Li Zicheng to wash, "Governor, can you rush to Xining tonight?" ”

"No, if we don't hurry today, we'll take a look in the city!" Li Zicheng was a little lucky, he had no intention of setting up Sanchuan Mansion at the intersection of Huangshui and Haomen Water, but he didn't expect that it happened to be located at the midpoint of Lanzhou and Xining.

If he leaves in the morning, he can rush to Xining City tonight, but he wants to stay and see how far Sanchuan Mansion has developed.

"That is, we will leave tomorrow, and we will be able to arrive in Xining tomorrow night?" Mu Sirong took Li Zicheng's hand and said carefully: "After arriving in Xining, will the Grand Governor still stay in the original Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion?" ”

"The original Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion has now become the Qinghai Provincial Government, and these soldiers can't be stationed," Li Zicheng said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will arrange for two soldiers to enter the city, first set up a hotel for accommodation, and let the rest of the soldiers live in the barracks." ”

"The Grand Governor," Mu Sirong hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to come: "Otherwise, the Grand Governor will stay at the maid's house...... The maid's house has a lot of rooms, at least one soldier of the general flag......"

"Your home?" Li Zicheng didn't want to live in the Mu family at all, although he had the love of Weng as a son-in-law, Mu Sirong was not a wife, he had never called Mu Qingshan a father, and Mu Sirong's mother had never even met in person.

To choose a place to stay, in addition to the hotel, Xihuang Restaurant is good, although Sun Mengjie's father is running, but he is the proprietor, how to say that it is also his own home!

But Sun Mengjie didn't come to Xining, so it was better not to go to Xihuang Restaurant to settle in, and when the time came, he only needed to send two relatives to ask, and if they wanted, they would go to Lanzhou to open a restaurant.

"Governor, it's the maid who owes it to think about it...... Mu Sirong thought, how can there be a son-in-law stationed at her father-in-law's house...... Besides, she is not a wife, and her father is not even a father-in-law......

"What did Rong'er say?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's the same wherever you live, it's all about eating and sleeping!" ”

Mu Sirong's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Then the Metropolitan Governor agreed?" ”

"Agreed," Li Zicheng hugged Mu Sirong in his arms and said, "I know that it is Rong'er's intention, how can I refuse?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is so good...... Mu Sirong muttered in a low voice, but after a while, she raised her head, "The Metropolitan Governor, can you prophet your father and mother, so that they can prepare early......

Li Zicheng thought about it, his identity is different now, and it is their honor to live in the Mu family, at least clean the guest room to welcome this uncle, and said: "I will let Xiaomi Feige pass the book to Xining, let them inform the owner of Mu, and say that Rong'er will return to her parents' house tomorrow night!" ”

"The servant thanked the Governor!" Mu Sirong was blessed, and couldn't help but smile.

Li Zicheng let go of Mu Sirong and only took her little hand, "Rong'er, let's have breakfast first, and then dress up as an ordinary businessman, and I'll take you shopping!" ”

"Really?" Mu Sirong was overjoyed, and with her red lips, she quickly tapped Li Zicheng's cheek.

This little girl...... Li Zicheng felt that this time, Mu Sirong seemed to have become a mature woman from that shy little girl in one day, with a unique charm, could it be that the cold wind could also make people mature?

Li Zicheng wears a felt hat, a blue-gray long jacket, navy blue cotton pants, and black shallow cotton shoes on his feet, like a steady businessman.

Mu Sirong changed her double snail bun and tied it with red silk, and the excess red silk hung down from her temples, waving in the wind, wearing a blue and white placket and a floral jacket, and a royal blue long skirt, she was a frivolous girl.

He Xiaomi, they also took off their camouflage military uniforms and changed into ordinary people's clothes, and Li Zicheng told them to follow far behind.

Li Zicheng is not a private visit, Feng Keng and other officials know that they are here, what is the point of a private visit? He just didn't want to disturb the common people.

Just out of the hotel, but saw the two of them standing with knives, with their backs to the direction of the hotel, Li Zicheng was a little strange, so he said: "Xiaomi, who are they?" ”

He Xiaoxiao said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, they are the catchers of Sanchuan Mansion, and they are ordered to protect the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

"Protection?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he first arrived at the hotel last night, he seemed to have heard what he was talking about, but he brought his own soldiers, why did he ask them to protect him?

When passing by these two catchers, the catchers knelt down and saluted, Li Zicheng felt a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain's name is Liu San!" Led by the fast catch.

"Liu San?" Li Zicheng went through the name in his mind, but he didn't have much impression.

Liu San caught Li Zicheng's expression and said busily: "The villain was originally a cavalry under Lord Liu...... Because he broke half of his left arm, he had to retire, and it was the governor of the capital who arranged this job of catching fast for the villain, so that he could have a share and support his family......

"Yunshui? Cavalry? Li Zicheng remembered that Liu San was indeed Liu Yunshui's subordinate, when he attacked Ganzhou, he broke half of his left arm, and when he went to visit the wounded soldiers, he didn't want to reward silver, and he didn't want to give compensation, but he begged himself to marry the No. 5 sheet in the Xining Fruit Building!

Liu San saw that Li Zicheng was silent, and he was very uneasy, "The governor of the capital is busy with official business, so he shouldn't remember the villain......

"Remember, remember, you were the Mandate of Heaven Army, Ao, it was still called the Xining Army at that time, you made a lot of contributions, and you also broke half of your left arm, why don't I remember?" Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law also came to Sanchuan Mansion together?" ”

"The Governor remembers the villain?" Liu San's eyes flashed with a fine light, "The villain came to Sanchuan Mansion to serve as the head catcher, so he brought his mother-in-law and aunt with him," and knocked Li Zicheng three times, "The villain thanks the Metropolitan Governor for completing ......"

"Get up, don't be polite," Li Zicheng waved his hand, "You are a meritorious minister of the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion, and you are injured again, so you should be taken care of!" ”

"Where is the Metropolitan Governor now?" Liu San bowed and said: "The villain is ordered by the prefect to protect the ...... of the capital."

"Isn't there security in the city?" Li Zicheng said: "Liu San, you are the head catcher, you should know the public security situation!" ”

"No, no," Liu San's waist bowed lower, "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Sanchuan is the place where the Metropolitan Governor established the Mansion, fortunately, there are no idle people in the city, although there are occasional people who bully the market, as long as the villain shows half of his arm, they will immediately be scared to the ground......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng didn't expect Liu San's half-amputated arm to be so useful, the original use of wounded soldiers as a catch, was to give the wounded soldiers a way out of self-reliance, maybe these wounded soldiers, there is still a killing spirit, idle people, naturally dare not look at it, "Since the law and order in the city is good, I will walk by myself, and when there is something, I will find someone to find you." ”

"The villain obeys!" Liu San saluted again before leaving.
