Chapter 224: Distress (I)
"Hall Master, this is the news that has just come from the capital. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "The person who should look like a merchant of the Qin State walked to the carriage and said.
At this moment, a voice that made it impossible to distinguish between men and women came out, saying, "Believe to me, and you can continue on your way." ”
"Yes, Lord of the Temple." The middle-aged man slowly stepped back and continued on his way.
Xingshi Mansion, although the name is not very memorable, is a very important state capital in Qi State, because it and Lanmu Mansion firmly control the connection between Linzhou and the outside world.
And this place is naturally firmly controlled by the Liu family and the people of the Fang family, although the prefect here is the Liu family, but because of the relationship between the Li family and the Fang family, the Fang family has more initiative here.
Today was the time when all families were busy celebrating the New Year, but the Fang family's garrison in Xingshi Mansion was gathered one after another, although everyone had complaints about this matter, but because it was an urgent news from the capital, they had to gather in the barracks on the first day of the New Year.
"What do you think is the matter with Lord Dutong calling us over in such a hurry?" A soldier asked from the side.
"Don't mention it, I was just about to go home with my daughter-in-law for the New Year, and I suddenly received a notice." The other said unhappily.
"What are you, I plan to get married today, but now I'm here, if it weren't for my father-in-law's understanding, I guess I wouldn't have any daughters-in-law." Someone next to him said.
As soon as the words fell, everyone who was still complaining just now stopped, looked at this poor buddy, thought about what happened to him, and then thought about what happened to himself, and instantly balanced a lot.
Looking at the whispering crowd in the audience, Matthew coughed lightly and walked in front of everyone, because even he didn't know why he suddenly gathered everyone together today.
"Okay, don't talk, check the number of people, and follow me out of the city." Matthew shouted.
At this time, a person who had a slightly better relationship with Matthew stepped forward and asked, "Lord Dutong, what are we going to do now, what is there that makes the brothers unable to rest during the New Year?" ”
"I don't know about this, anyway, not only us, but also several other battalions have gathered, and it is said that something happened in the capital." Matthew sighed.
Outside Xiazhou, the person who had just been called the hall master opened the envelope, a little puzzled, and at the same time whispered, didn't he already settle everything when he left the capital, could it be that something happened again.
Five minutes later, after reading the letter, she couldn't help but change her complexion, and scolded softly: "What do you mean by this stinky boy, who is already fine, and even causes such a big trouble, do you really think you can be lawless." ”
After speaking, she realized that she accidentally didn't even disguise her voice, and after seeing that there was no one around, she continued to say in the tone that she had just talked to her subordinates: "If it weren't for Die'er, I wouldn't bother to care about him." ”
She stood up lightly, and walked directly to the front of the team with an unbelievable light skill, "Give me the horse, I'll go to Xiazhou first, and you guys should hurry up." ”
"Yes, Lord of the Temple." Everyone did not panic at this scene, because this was their hall master, no one could match it in terms of kung fu or strategy, and there was no obstacle in entering and exiting the palaces of various countries, which could only be said to be a piece of cake.
"Young Master, we should be at Xingshi Mansion tomorrow morning, today for the New Year, let's take a rest, it should be fine." Hu Guang said.
"Well, let's find a shop to stay for one night, I'm really tired this week." Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
Since leaving the capital, they have been on the road, that is, Hu Guang is in good health and can hold on, if ordinary people can't bear it for a long time, and there is nothing to do for so many days, today is the New Year, and it is not bad to rest for a night.
The two of them walked to a town, but neither of them changed their faces, because no one would know them in such a small place, so there was no need to be afraid.
Although it was already night, because of the New Year, there were more people on the street than during the day, and they didn't want to make a big show, so they casually found one at the corner of the street and walked in.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any guest rooms, give us two first-class guest rooms, and by the way, give us more signature dishes." Hu Guang took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the shopkeeper at the counter.
When the shopkeeper who was still settling accounts just now saw the silver, he immediately became excited, hurriedly put away the silver and asked: "There are guest rooms, there are guest rooms, I don't know how many people there are?" ”
"Two of you, you go and get us some hot water, and I will take a bath with our young master later." Hu Guang pointed at Ye Chen and said.
Although this restaurant is not big, because it is near Xingshi Mansion, there are quite a lot of people, and Ye Chen has been standing in the crowd of passers-by, and the shopkeeper has not been found for a while, and when he finds it, he only sees a back.
"This master, you can rest assured, I'll let Xiao Er take you to the guest room first, do you want to bring you some good wine in our store, my daughter Hong, who has been hidden underground for ten years, has only three altars in total." The shopkeeper continued to laugh.
Although Hu Guang listened to it, he thought that the current situation could not tolerate a little sloppiness, so he still refused: "Forget it, we have to hurry tomorrow, you can let someone take us to the guest room first." ”
"Yes, Xiao Er, hurry up and take the two guest officers to the upper room on the third floor, so that they can wait." The shopkeeper shouted.
Ye Chen also happened to come to Hu Guang's side at this time and asked, "How is it, is it all done?" ”
"Okay, young master, you go up with Xiao Er first, and I'll go and bring the salute." Hu Guang walked out.
"Hmm." Ye Chen nodded and followed behind Xiao Er, who led the way in front.
However, at this time, the shopkeeper raised his head by chance, his eyes swept to Ye Chen's face, and then his complexion suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something, but after seeing that Ye Chen was also looking at him, he immediately turned around and walked outside.
Ye Chen also noticed this scene at this time, and when he first came in, he felt that something was wrong here, because after many people saw him, their reactions were the same as that of this shopkeeper.
It would be good if everyone knew him, but he was sure that he was meeting this group of people for the first time, so this time Ye Chen was very uneasy, but he didn't startle the snake, and planned to wait for Hu Guang to come up and make plans.
After the shopkeeper saw that Xiao Er brought to Ye Chen came down, he suddenly shouted outside the door: "Laifu, come here, I have something to ask you." ”
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" Rifle replied.
"You see if the person in the painting is the same as the person you just brought up." The shopkeeper suddenly took out a painting and said, and the person in the painting was Ye Chen.
"Yes, yes, that's it, is he a wanted criminal in the imperial court!" Rifles exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
