Li Yunhan and Jia Wu and Chen Xun shared a carriage forward, yesterday Chen Xun's mother had been escorted to Licheng by the brothers of the Salt Gang Qingdao, Li Yunhan promised to treat Chen's mother's eyes, which made Chen Xun very moved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, the two have been conspiring in the carriage, and when they arrived in Weixian, the three of them each rode a horse to Luxi, and after another seven or eight days, the three of them had arrived near Caozhou, which was Li Yunhan's hometown, and it was also not far from Lao Yaling.

Li Yunhan went to his father's grave and kowtowed a few times, he asked his father for forgiveness, he could no longer keep his promise, he needed to do something, for his father's unfinished business.

After the incident, the three of them rushed to Lao Ya Ridge non-stop, Lao Ya Ling is located at the junction of Caozhou and Henan Guide, where the hills stretch, as soon as they entered the mountain pass, the situation of the mountains and rivers immediately became weird, and the lonely cold made people feel the cold wind biting.

In Chen Xun's words, this is indeed an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack territory, no wonder Liu Laohei can entrench here for more than ten years without being broken by the official army.

The hilly terrain gradually rises, until it reaches the middle of the vast hills, the mountain suddenly steepens, the trees are also very high and deep, and when they go through the forest, they can't see the sun outside, and the three horses roar forward, and soon they reach the foot of the old crow ridge mountain.

At the foot of Lao Ya Ling Mountain is a town called Xingren, Xingren Town guards the only road leading to Lao Ya Ling, it is only one or twenty miles away from Lao Ya Ling, Xu is that the bandits rabbits do not eat the grass by the nest, here is actually full of people, and it has become the preferred foothold of the caravan in the past.

Because of the Juyi Conference, the streets of Xingren Town are even more crowded, cars and horses are bustling, Chen Xun sat on the horse and watched for a while, and couldn't help but say: "The shape here is victorious, and it is so lively, strange, strange." ”

Li Yunhan has long been accustomed to Chen Xun's way of speaking, and it is naturally much more pleasant to listen to, Chen Xun always has to talk about this place from the Qin Emperor and Han Wu era to the early Republic of China, as if he Chen Xun knows all the wars in history.

"Let's not talk about this for now, find a place to rest, and then talk about it, don't rush up the mountain." Li Yunhan rode forward, and entered the town in a few moments.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay in a hotel?" A bald-headed and round-faced shopkeeper Xiao Er stopped Li Yunhan at the entrance of the town.

"Hey, get out of the way, we have something to do." Jia Wu was used to being cautious, and when he saw that the bald little two had a bad complexion, he stepped forward to stop him.

"Hey, where to live is not to live?" Li Yunhan waved the horsewhip in his hand, then dismounted and said to the bald head, "Where is your store?" Do you have secluded rooms? ”

With a smile on his bald face, he stepped forward and took the reins of Li Yunhan's horse, and boasted as he walked: "My store is called Dongxiang Tavern, which is the most luxurious inn here, and you guests will definitely be satisfied, please!" ”

The three of them followed the bald head into the town, and after walking for a long time, they saw a huge cloth signboard on the side of the street, and the cloth signboard had a line of beautiful big characters: Dongxiang Tavern.

The entrance to the cave tavern was towering, a roof higher than the inn next to it, and a few horses carrying heavy loads were tied to the outside of the tavern, and it seemed that the horses had traveled a long way, and the horses' paws were sticking to the mud.

"Guest officer, please come in!" The bald head greeted, then handed the reins of the horse to the subordinates who stepped forward, and shouted in a long voice at the tavern: "There is a guest here---! ”

After this shout, a few people immediately ran out of the tavern, enthusiastically helping the three of them unload their burdens and lead the horses, and then Li Yunhan and Chen Xun nodded and followed the bald head into the tavern.

The inside of the tavern is very large, different from the ordinary roadside inn, it is a big mansion with three entrances, the outermost one is the wine shop, the inside is an ordinary guest room, and the innermost one is the elegant and quiet elegant room with an extremely elegant environment, where the elegant room is not only carved with a dragon and a phoenix, but also a green bamboo, and from time to time there is a bird cry, which suddenly relieved Li Yunhan and others of some fatigue.

"Is your boss from Peach Blossom Spring? Why is this tavern so beautifully repaired? "Chen Xun is a literati billet, and when he sees such a beautiful scenery, of course he is relaxed and happy.

Li Yunhan was also very satisfied, but Jia Wu looked uncomfortable, and muttered: "There are many collusions here, in case of something bad, you can't escape." ”

"Hey, this guest officer, you can't say that, I don't know if other families have encountered problems, but our family, hmph, don't talk about those thieves and thieves, even Liu Laohei on Lao Yao Ridge doesn't dare to come here to make a mistake!" The bald head said angrily with his neck stalked.

After that, the bald head made an invitation, Li Yunhan followed him to the middle of the Sanjin house, here is a suite, three bedrooms inside and out, and a living room in the middle, the room is full of dazzling vases and green grass, at first glance, a fragrance comes to the nose.

"Yo. This is not like an inn by the ancient road, but more like a palace in Beijing, but it has a little more fat powder. Li Yunhan shook his head and said.

"Hey, guest officer, you really know the goods, don't hide it, our store is a strange woman who can be counted within a hundred miles! Known as the Iron Fan Princess..."The bald head was about to start speaking, but Jia Wu stepped forward and interrupted: "Go, go, don't be foolish here, go and fetch some water for the two masters, and prepare some food, we are hungry." ”

"Hey, okay, you guys, okay!" The bald head turned around and wanted to leave, but he turned around and said with a shy face: "A few people, this room is quite satisfied, right?" However, the price of this house... But it's not cheap. ”

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, are you still afraid that our master can't afford to pay?" Jia Wu said angrily.

"Affordable, affordable! However, we have to show the signboard first, so as not to have a lawsuit in the future, right? This room plus three meals a day, a few of you are charged three oceans a day, the wine pipe is enough, it is our store's own brewed Shandong Daqu, the dishes, there are meat and vegetarian..."

Three?! My obedient is enough for the cost of ordinary people for two months, this room is like a desert oasis, and the price is really not cheap.

Jia Wu also probed his neck, but fortunately, the Salt Gang was never short of money, and when he went out, he took a sum of money from his own flag, and prepared the expenses of the young master.

"The money can be given to you, and there will be a reward for serving well, but my two masters like to be quiet, don't be so noisy here all day long, understand?" Jia Wu reached out and took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket and threw them over, leaving with a bald head and a smile.

"This is really a store as its name suggests, Dongxiang, hehe, there is no cave." After Li Yunhan said that, he went into the inner room to rest, and Jia Wu also went to inspect the surrounding environment as usual, leaving Chen Xun to sit on the chair and meditate hard.

In the evening, the bald head sent a hearty meal, and the three of them made a meal in Shandong Daqu, and then went back to the house to rest.

At night, the noise of the owls outside the store subsided slightly, and Li Yunhan was lying on the bed meditating, when suddenly a sound of Suo Suo sounded in the corner of the wall, and he immediately became alarmed.

After a while, a dark shadow suddenly flashed into the room......
