Chapter 41: The Den of Thieves

Didn't you say that you should be each other's guardian angels? Now Gu Linghuan gave such a ruthless answer, which is really chilling.

At this moment, Chen Ze's chest was very uncomfortable, as if he had been stuffed into a stubborn stone, and he was panicked if he couldn't break it.

The man's appearance is too high, and he really can't find a girlfriend, it seems that he is destined to be single in this life.

Suddenly, Gu Lingjun smiled and said, "If Rou'er is really the king of Zhennan, the master can consider marrying you." ”

is really worthy of being a heroine among women who walks the rivers and lakes, and her thoughts are indeed much more avant-garde than ordinary women.

Chen Ze asked with a glimmer of hope: "Master is obviously a girl, how could he think of marrying a man?" ”

Faced with the inquiry, Gu Linghuan replied without hesitation: "Sometimes I secretly think about how good it would be if women could be like men and be free to choose their fate, instead of being an accessory." ”

Chen Ze couldn't bridge his tongue when he heard this, and this kind of thinking in the other party's subconscious was actually the equality of men and women in modern society.

"What Master said is a joke, don't take it to heart, if those literati know, they will definitely write some critical articles to accuse me of not abiding by women's morals."

Gu Linghuan was constrained by the feudal system, and he could only store these miscellaneous thoughts in the deepest part of his mind.

Because in a society where men are inferior to women, this kind of thinking is heretical and punishable by imprisonment.

Chen Ze is not a long-tongued woman: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, you can continue to keep this kind of thinking, and even be bolder." ”

You must know that women can hold up half the sky, and some areas that men are not good at can be done by women, so the balance between men and women is the correct direction of social development.

However, if we want to achieve complete emancipation of the mind in ancient times, it will take a long transition period.

When Gu Linghuan heard that Chen Zeken supported her, she felt a special feeling about her, as if she had found a sense of belonging.

Not far away, a simple fence of logs encloses an old two-story wooden building.

Outside the building, there is a stout flagpole, and a banner is hung with the words 'Green Forest Inn'.

Under the flagpole, three sturdy horses were tethered, apparently the mounts of the barbarian Tartars.

"Sure enough, it's a narrow road, and we really ran into it."

Chen Ze thought that if he wanted to catch up with the target, it would take at least half a day, but now it took less than half an hour.

It is estimated that it is because the man in the fur hat is too seriously injured that these barbarian Tartars do not want to move forward.

"I'll go check on the situation first!" Gu Linghuan quickly jumped off his horse, crossed his blade in front of his chest, and slowly approached the door of the inn.

Chen Ze was very anxious in his eyes, as a hot-blooded man, how could he let a girl take risks alone, it was too embarrassing.

He immediately took out his handcuff from his body and leaned over, ready to give the other party a backup.

Suddenly, the door of the inn opened, and out came a shopkeeper wearing a winter coat and holding dry firewood in his hand.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, they all held their breath and remained motionless, like three ice sculptures.

In particular, the expression on the face of the shopkeeper was even more exciting than the shadow puppet show, and he obviously didn't expect that he would meet two 'bad guys' just after he went out.

After a while, Gu Linghuan took the initiative to withdraw his blade and asked, "Did there be three people carrying an injured person in just now?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and replied, "No, absolutely not, in this wilderness, it is too much to have two guests a day." ”

"Ridiculous, how do you explain these three horses?" Chen Ze believed that this person was deliberately lying and wanted to conceal the facts.

"That's the palm ...... The treasurer's horse. The shopkeeper's eyes became flustered, and his legs subconsciously trembled.

Chen Ze laughed and imitated: "Return the palm...... Shopkeeper's horse, I don't think you even lie. ”

Seeing that the lie was exposed, the shopkeeper suddenly became anxious: "This girl, why do you say that I lie." ”

"Widen your eyes, I'm Childe!" As soon as Chen Ze heard this title, he was angry, which was obviously humiliating himself.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, just break in." Gu Linghuan has always been able to use his hands when dealing with enemies, and he will never move his mouth.

In order to prevent the bloodshed, the shopkeeper hurriedly dissuaded: "The two of you are slow and rough, let me tell you the truth, there are indeed a few people you said, but they are protected by our shopkeeper." ”

When Chen Ze heard this, he was puzzled: "Your shopkeeper protects the barbarian Tartars, you are not afraid of death!" ”

Protecting the enemy is treason, which is a felony in any dynasty and generation, and someone really dares to do it.

The shopkeeper explained: "How do we know that it is the enemy, those three people came in and gave gold, and the shopkeeper was red-eyed at that time. ”

"Let's quickly persuade him to arrest people, in case the people from the government track him down, this inn will be over."

Chen Ze is also out of kindness, this inn is already in tatters, and if it provokes the officials and soldiers, it will definitely be completely destroyed.

Who knew that when the shopkeeper heard the word "government", he showed a disdainful expression and said: "Those officers and soldiers have gone to fight the rebel army, how can they have time to take care of this place, not to mention that even if there are more than 100 people, our inn is not afraid." ”

Chen Ze hates people who talk big the most, and sarcastically said at the moment: "You are not a big two, but your tone is not small." This inn is in tatters, and I'm afraid it will collapse if I can't stop a round of arrows. ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the signboard and said, "Aunt...... Childe's words are wrong, this Green Forest Inn is opened by our big boss, and there are hundreds of people under him. ”

The title of the big boss, how does it sound like the king of the mountain, but this is a den of thieves.

"You are robbers!" Chen Ze's face changed, if the inn was really opened by thieves, he would not be able to negotiate.

Because the bandits are mavericks, only a small number of them will have a sense of national responsibility, and the vast majority of them will recognize money but not people.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Childe should leave room for speech, we make a living from the inn, that is, prepare a golden basin to wash our hands." ”

"I want to see you bosses." Chen Ze didn't want to retreat in spite of the difficulties, he was frightened by a few bandits, and how could he raise troops to save the country.

The shopkeeper snorted and refused: "The big boss is on the mountain, but no one can see it if they want to, unless they take silver." ”

It turned out to be so simple, Chen Ze thought that he needed to pay a bigger price, and he couldn't think of taking the money.

It seems that bandits are always bandits, and they can never do without the word money, as long as it is profitable, they can do anything.

Gu Linghuan thought for a while, and directly took out a silver ingot from the money bag: "This is a full ten taels, is it enough?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and replied with a smile: "That's enough, but I have to ask the shopkeeper first if he agrees, and the two of you please come with me." ”

Gu Linghuan reminded Chen Ze with his eyes, and he was the first to walk in.
