Chapter 101: The Panicked Inn

When Old Man Tong threw down Tong Xiangyu and returned to Hanzhong, the sword that was used as a gift to his relatives naturally came back with Old Man Tong.

Regarding the change in Tong Xiangyu's wedding, after Badao returned to Youyu County, he directly reported it to Zhou Chen in great detail.

Although Zhou Chen knew what kind of life Tong Xiangyu would go through next, how could he not be worried at all? After all, this is Sister Xiangyu who takes him like a younger brother.

Therefore, Zhou Chen also deliberately sent Jinyi Wei secret agents to Qixia Town, Guangyang Mansion, and did not withdraw until he confirmed that there was no problem with Tong Xiangyu's safety.

In the past, because he couldn't leave his post without permission, Zhou Chen couldn't go to Tong Xiangyu's wedding, but now that Zhou Chen happened to be the prefect of Guangyang Mansion, how could he not go to see Tong Xiangyu in the jurisdiction.

However, Tong Xiangyu's Qixia Town is just one of the most ordinary towns in the Ming Dynasty, with the mighty momentum of more than 200 riders in Zhou Chen's group.

If they all go to Seven Heroes Town, it will inevitably disturb the ordinary people in the town.

In order not to cause any bad impact, Zhou Chendang even divided the more than 200 horses around him into two parts.

Some of them are headed by Chen Yun, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and there are more than 20 people, which happen to be the two most elite small flags under Chen Yun.

These more than 20 elite brocade guards will follow Zhou Chen to Seven Heroes Town.

All the remaining Jinyi guards were all led by Xu Yan, another hundred households, and went to Guangyang Mansion City to prepare for the secret prison and yamen of Jinyi Wei in Guangyang Mansion.

After the division was completed, Zhou Chen and a group of more than 200 riders immediately shook the reins in their hands, and each began to gallop towards their respective destinations.

Because of the mutual market in northern Xinjiang, Zhou Chen bought a lot of Mongolian horses from the hands of grassland herdsmen.

Although most of these horses were added to the border army such as the Right Yulin Guard, a small number of them were still assigned by Zhou Chen to the Jinyi Guard under his own command.

Now the two Jinyi Wei hundred households under Zhou Chen's command, everyone is riding this kind of Mongolian horse from the northern Xinjiang market.

Although these Mongolian horses are not large, their bodies are indeed very stout, and their limbs are solid and powerful, which is really a rare and good horse.

With the foot strength of these Mongolian horses, Zhou Chen and the others entered the territory of Qixia Town when the sky had just darkened.

After entering the town, Zhou Chen and the others did not make much noise, and even the local county government did not notify the alarm.

Under the leadership of a Jinyi guard who had come to investigate Tong Xiangyu's situation, Zhou Chen and more than 20 other people immediately walked towards the only inn in the town, Tongfu Inn.

At the corner of the street not far from the Tongfu Inn, Zhou Chen grabbed the reins and stopped his horse.

Looking at the quaint inn not far away, and then looking at the plaque with the four big characters of 'Tongfu Inn' on it, Zhou Chen quietly rode on horseback and was engrossed.

Last year, Tong Xiangyu had already come to the territory of the Seven Heroes Town, and the Tongfu Inn had also been listed for about a year, and I don't know if all the people in the Tongfu Inn had arrived.

Just when Zhou Chen looked at the plaque of the Tongfu Inn and was stunned, two men, a man and a woman, ran out of the inn and began to hurriedly clean up the tea stall outside the inn, as if they were going to close the door for proofing.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Chen's heart couldn't help but have a deep doubt.

Now it's just dusk, and it's the golden season for these inns and hotels to open, why is this Tongfu Inn about to close?

And the two guys were still very flustered in their expressions and movements, as if something was forcing them to close the door quickly.

"Is there any trouble with Tongfu Inn?!"

Zhou Chen frowned, and he secretly said in his heart.

Immediately, he only listened to Zhou Chen's head and ordered without looking back: "Go, ask what is going on!" ”

As the words from Zhou Chen's mouth fell, a brocade-clothed guard behind him rode out of the crowd and walked towards the two guys.

Although these brocade guards didn't know in their hearts, why Zhou Chen paid so much attention to the ordinary inn of Tongfu Inn.

However, through the fact that Zhou Chen sent secret agents to investigate this inn before, and the fact that Zhou Chen came here as soon as he came to Guangyang Mansion, everyone could guess that this Tongfu Inn must have a great relationship with Zhou Chen.

It is precisely because of this that even in the face of the two very ordinary-looking guys in the Tongfu Inn, the brocade guard is also very polite.

I saw the brocade-clothed guard riding his horse to the door of the Tongfu Inn, looking at the male guy who was moving the table and stool, he turned off from the horse, arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask this brother, why is your inn closing so early?" ”

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, the small shop has something temporary, so it's inconvenient to receive guests, if the guest officer wants to stay in the hotel, please also invite the guest officer to Zuojiazhuang or the inn of the eighteen mile shop to have a look!"

Hearing the questioning voice of the brocade guard, the man put down the item he was holding in his hand, arched his hand and said in an apologetic voice.

Because all the brocade guards under Zhou Chen's command were deliberately dressed up, the male guy didn't recognize that the person in front of him was a brocade guard.

"Your inn is very interesting, and if you don't do the business of delivering to the door, you will even push the guests to other places, which is really interesting!"

The brocade guard couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he said jokingly.

Seeing this, the male guy arched his hands again and again and said apologetically: "Guest officer, the small shop is indeed inconvenient, and I really can't live with the guest officer." ”

At the moment when the male man's voice fell, a female voice with an extremely serious Shaanxi accent came out of the inn door: "Zhantang, what are you still doing outside?!" ”

Immediately, I saw a woman with a burning demeanor walking out of the door of the inn.

Seeing the woman's figure, the man turned his head and prepared to reply.

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer ......"

However, before the words in his mouth completely fell, the brocade guard arched his hand and said: "This is the shopkeeper, my son-in-law passed by Qixia Town, if it is late today, and you want to rest in your store for a night, please also ask the shopkeeper to make it convenient." ”

After the words fell, the brocade guard stretched out his hand behind him and led the eyes of the female shopkeeper and the male guy to the street intersection where Zhou Chen and the others were.
