Chapter 213: Dragon Gate Inn
In the early morning of the next day, two men came to the Huaxi Inn, one of these two men was Lai San, and the other was Han Yongming. Zhao Yougong saw Han Yongming yesterday, although he didn't say a word, but from Han Yongming's pace and eyes, he could judge that this person was definitely a master.
Compared with Han Yongming's cold words, Lai San said a lot, and instructed all the way, and the four of them left the county. Just as Zhao Yougong thought, Lai Santou led the way and walked straight to the Gobi Desert in the west, at this time there were two camels parked outside the Gobi Desert, and Xiang Shao stood beside the camels and waved his hand. Waiting for the face-to-face, Xiang Shao smiled slightly, "Brother, I'm sorry, please blindfold, this is the rule!" â
After such a long period of contact, Xiang Shao never asked what Zhao Yougong's name was, this is also the rule of the road, you only need to see the money and know the name of the person who was killed, as for what the name of the client is, no one will ask. Of course, the blindfold is also to prevent people from finding their way.
Zhao Yougong also admired these sand bandits a little, blindfolded alone is not necessarily safe, because some careful people can calculate the direction and distance only based on their feelings, and they can also get a rough idea. But it's not the same with a camel, because you can never count how many steps the camel has taken, let alone calculate the distance. But it's a pity, he Zhao someone's killing move is not here, so destined to disappoint the bandits.
Nodding, Zhao Yougong consciously put on a black hood, and so did Azhu. Seeing that Zhao Yougong and the two cooperated so much, Xiang Shuo also smiled with satisfaction, and the two camels carried Zhao Yougong and the two slowly into the Gobi Desert, and I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yougong felt a little spinning. It turned out that Lai San actually led the camel and turned it around. Zhao Yougong sighed heartily. These people are really too careful. But this trick really worked, and after a while, the direction was lost.
After walking for a while, the camel under his crotch turned in a circle again, and so on, when Zhao Yougong felt that his mouth was dry and wanted to vomit, Lai San patted his feet and said with a smile. "Brother, come down and rest and drink some water!"
Zhao Yougong and A Zhu dismounted, Xiang Shao threw a kettle over, drank saliva, Zhao Yougong looked at Xiang Shao and smiled bitterly, "Are you really too careful, do you suspect that a certain family is harboring evil intentions?" â
"Hehe, brother, don't blame, this is the rule. We had to! â
Hearing Xiang Shao say this, Zhao Yougong didn't say more. Get up and look around, there is a vast area of yellow sand, the sand dunes in the distance are undulating, you can't see the edge at a glance, the sun is scorching in the sky, and the white clouds are long. At this time, it was already June, and the land of Guanzhong was already warm, especially in this desert area, it was even hotter. Fortunately, Azhu's disguise technique is good, otherwise he would have to show his stuffing after sweating so much.
After about a stick of incense, several people set out on the road again, this time for a particularly long time, until the camel stopped when they heard the sound of agitation.
"Brother, let's get to the place, let's come down!" With Lai San's laughter in his ears, Zhao Yougong took off his hood, squinted his eyes for a while, and waited for the discomfort in his eyes to disappear before opening his eyes.
This is an old town, and the town is full of knife-wielding men, some of whom have their breasts open, and some of whom are wrapped tightly. The surprise in Zhao Yougong's heart was indescribable, he really didn't expect that in the desert of nearly 100 miles, there was still an ancient town hidden, no wonder these sand bandits could survive in the desert for a long time. The ancient town is a unique Western architectural style, with layers of earthen walls surrounding the periphery of the town, and most of the houses in the town are also built with thick walls and small windows.
For some reason, it is like meeting the long-lost ancient town of Loulan, a small town with a unique vicissitudes and heaviness.
After entering the town, Xiang Shao and Han Yongming left, and Lai San led Zhao Yougong and the others to a place with a smile. This place is located in the middle of the town, and there is a wooden pole buried outside the low wall, and a tattered flag is hung on the pole, and the four big characters "Dragon Gate Inn" are written on it.
Seeing the words Longmen Inn, King Zhao Xiaojun was almost so shocked that he peed out, he really didn't expect that there was a Longmen Inn in the desert ancient town, and he didn't know if there was a gold-inlaid jade in the inn.
Seeing Zhao Yougong looking at the flag in a daze, Lai San thought that Zhao Yougong disliked the inn too broken, he laughed dryly, and quickly explained, "Brother, bear with me for the time being, this town is not as good as the county seat, this inn is the cleanest place in our town, and in the past few days, I have troubled my brother to be patient." â
Zhao Yougong shook his head and said with some emotion, "Lai San, you're wrong, a certain family is just curious, can you make money by getting an inn in this town?" â
Hearing this question, Lai San was happy, he tied the camel to the flagpole, pointed to the closed door and laughed, "Brother, if you ask like this, it can only mean that you have less knowledge and make no money, you can go in and take a look." â
With Lai San, Zhao Yougong and Ah Zhu walked side by side towards the door, and as the distance got closer and closer, there were many more voices in their ears. Hehe, it's quite lively inside.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of agitation became clearer, and at a cursory glance, the inn was full of people, some of whom were sitting at tables drinking, and some of whom were gathering together to gamble.
"Everyone, buy it and leave, it's open"
"Big Big and Little Small"
Zhao Yougong was completely convinced, if he really didn't know anything, who said that the inn must be an inn? Can't an inn be used as a casino?
Men want to be happy, nothing more than gambling and sex, and in this desert town, women are almost rarer than endangered animals, so all men can do is gamble. A group of sand bandits are estimated to be much stronger than ordinary people, so it is difficult to open a casino in the town without getting rich.
The inn is a large space, divided into two floors, and although it is not yet sunset, the room is already lit with oil lamps. Bypassing the gamblers on the first floor, Lai San led the two of them straight up to the second floor, the stairs were made of wood, and I don't know how many years it had been.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw a plump woman leaning on the railing and snorting melon seeds, this woman was about 20 years old, her hair was coiled into a woman's bun, and the clothes on the woman's body were not luxurious. But her face was quite gorgeous.
Just now I was thinking about whether there would be a gold inlaid jade in the Dragon Gate Inn. I immediately saw a gorgeous woman. Could it be that time travels. Back to the Ming Dynasty? Zhao Xiaojun Wang's head was sweating, the woman twisted the waist of the water snake, swallowed melon seeds and walked over, looked at Zhao Yougong's face, threw away the melon seeds in her hand, pouted and snorted coldly, "Lai San, what are you doing here?" â
"Sixth sister. This is a distinguished guest invited by the big boss, Mr. Dongfang asked the younger brother to bring it here, and he said that you should arrange it! â
"Huh? Why didn't the gray fox say it himself? Distinguished guest, it's really strange, why do you often come to this place where birds don't during this time? â
The woman spoke sarcastically, but Lai San had no temper at all, and had to laugh vigorously. This woman's name is Fan Liuniang, but she has an unclear relationship with the military advisor Mr. Dongfang, especially in recent months, Mr. Dongfang has to laugh when he sees her. How dare he Lai San offend her?
Fan Liuniang just said it in passing, but Zhao Yougong listened to it in his heart. Recently, there have been many distinguished guests, so who are the other distinguished guests?
"Why didn't Mr. Dongfang come, the little brother doesn't know, I guess I have something to do! But since the gentleman has already ordered it, do you think you should arrange a room first? â
Fan Liuniang didn't stop it, but stretched out a slender jade hand, threw a wink and chuckled, "Money, a room is always money a day!" â
"Ahem Sixth Sister, the younger brother didn't bring any money, why don't you owe it first, and when Mr. Dongfang comes, you want him?" Lai San had a broken face, looking like he was going to cry, he really didn't bring a penny today.
Fan Liuniang's phoenix eyes narrowed, and as soon as her left leg was raised, the little foot kicked on Lai San's buttocks, "Lai San, are you here to make fun of the old lady?" Want to stay in a hotel without money? Also Dongfang Jin said, is this store a place to be compassionate? â
Fan Liuniang's legs and feet are neat, and her feet are all skillful, obviously she has a good kung fu. Lai San was kicked and screamed, but he didn't dare to escape, so he could only cover his buttocks and cry, "Sixth sister, don't kick!" â
Zhao Yougong also felt a little funny, coughed twice, pinched a Jiaozi and shook it in front of Fan Liuniang's eyes. Fan Liuniang was originally angry in her phoenix eyes, and she was constantly scolding, but she could see the Jiaozi, her hands and feet immediately stopped, and her face was replaced with an amiable smile. After snatching the Jiaozi and confirming that it was not a fake Jiaozi, she raised her jade hand and touched it softly on Zhao Yougong's chest, "Giggles, this brother understands the rules, this sister is happy, please eat meat buns at night!" â
Ah Zhu stood behind him, and there was a little more disgust in his eyes, at this time, Zhao Xiaojun Wang was a bearded man in his forties, and the demon girl dared to call herself a sister, which was really shameless.
Zhao Yougong was very natural, nodded and smiled, "Then thank you Sixth Sister, a certain family has just come to town, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, you have to ask Sixth Sister for more advice!" â
"Definitely, definitely, big brother is waiting, sister is going to get you meat buns!" Fan Liuniang grabbed Jiaozi and turned around and left, but before leaving, she didn't forget to kick Lai Sanyi, "Lai San, this old lady will spare you first, why don't you hurry up and lead the two distinguished guests to the T-shaped room!" â
Seeing Fan Liuniang twisting the waist of the water snake and leaving, Zhao Yougong was always a little shocked in his heart, it's no problem to make meat buns, but don't make human meat buns.
After Lai San brought Zhao Yougong and the others to the T-shaped room, he also helped to get a basin of cold water, don't look at a basin of water, which is a very luxurious storage zĂ i in the ancient town.
"Two brothers, you rest first, and after a while, the gentleman will naturally come to see you, and then we will discuss the details of the business. Tonight, you will have a good mouth, the meat buns of the sixth sister are a must, I guarantee that you eat this meal and think about the next meal! â
Lai San will be able to speak well when he arrives, and when he leaves, Ah Zhu sat on the earthen kang with his butt and hummed in a low voice, "Childe, do you think this store will sell human meat buns?" â
"Human meat buns? Don't think about it, most of the diners in this inn are from the town, do you think the proprietress dares to sell human meat buns? â
Zhao Yougong shook his head and smiled bitterly, just think about it, if the Longmen Inn dared to sell human meat buns, it is estimated that a group of sand bandits would have demolished this inn long ago. After washing his face, Zhao Yougong motioned for Ah Zhu to sit on the edge of the kang, and he lay down on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate. Although he had only been here for a while, he had received a lot of news.
In this ancient town, the Mr. Dongfang seems to be very capable, and he also has an unclear relationship with the innkeeper. In addition, there are the so-called distinguished guests.
Seeing Zhao Yougong lying on the kang peacefully, Ah Zhu pouted, and his heart was a mess. Then Lai San arranged a room, so wouldn't she have to sleep on the same kang with His Highness?
As the sun set, the ancient town was completely dark, and Lai San left the inn and hurried to the Black Eagle Hall. At this time, the three leaders plus Dongfang Jin were all present, and as soon as Lai San entered the hall, he shouted, "Back to the big leader, those two people have already been arranged!" â
"Well, you go down!"
Waving his hand and waiting for Lai San to leave, Guo Sancai looked at Xiang Shao and asked in a harmonious voice, "Second brother, do you think there is a problem with those two?" â
"I don't dare to say it, but these two people have not behaved abnormally along the way!"
Guo Sancai nodded, and then said to Dongfang Jin, "The second brother is not as careful as you, I will leave the matter of this business to you to discuss, and also help Guo try these two people!" â
"Don't worry, big boss, a certain family will do its best!" (To be continued......)
