Chapter 177: The Imperial City of the Dust Country
Fortunately, it is not far from the road of the imperial city, and after walking for two days and one night, I finally came to the gate of the imperial city of the dust country.
"We escaped from the Imperial City a few days ago and returned to the Imperial City a few days later, and it all feels amazing!" Chu Xiaoxiang muttered to herself.
"……"
Helian Chen was silent, he looked at her quietly, and when he saw her take a step into the imperial city, he also stepped forward.
The grand scenery inside the Imperial City of the Dust Country is no worse than that of the Ji Kingdom, but if there is anything that cannot be compared, that is, the four seasons of the Ji Kingdom are like spring, and the fruits and other foods that are abundant there are all natural and organic, and the location here is dry, and the fruit varieties are not complete, however, there are rare varieties of fruits.
"Do you have any fruit you'd like to eat?"
When they passed by a fruit stall, Helian Chen also noticed this fruit stall, and turned his head and asked Chu Xiaoxiang.
Chu Xiaoxiang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we buy some fruit and eat it at the inn?"
Helian Chen nodded.
Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen came to the fruit stall, they carefully selected the fruits, now the season is the beginning of autumn, the weather is particularly dry, such a season makes them particularly interested in some cold fruits that can quench their thirst.
"Otherwise, let's buy some pears and eat them."
"Okay."
Helian Chen stretched out his hand and picked five pears, and paid for them to pack, and the two came to the door of an inn, the decoration of this inn looks very atmospheric, and the name is the same atmosphere, it can be seen that the owner of this inn is a person of great taste.
"'Fanghua Inn', it's still a bit interesting, there are still people here who take such a name? It's so much fun! Chu Xiaoxiang looked up at the plaque of the inn and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this inn? Helian Chen looked at her suspiciously, and then turned his head to look at Fanghua Inn.
"There's no problem with the inn, let's go, I'm so hungry!" Saying that, Chu Xiaoxiang raised his hand to touch his belly in a matter-of-fact manner, and when he turned his head to look at him, his small mouth pursed and said aggrievedly.
Helian Chen smiled, he raised his right hand, gently pinched the tip of Chu Xiaoxiang's nose, and said dotingly: "You, you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and took Chu Xiaoxiang's little hand, took her hand and entered the Fanghua Inn with her.
"Are the two guests going to stay or eat?"
As soon as they stepped into the Fanghua Inn, a young junior came over and said to them with a smile.
"We stay and eat." Chu Xiaoxiang also replied with a smile.
"Okay, the guest officer will come here first." So saying, he led them to an empty seat and sat down, brought them teapots and cups, poured two cups of tea for each of them, and then went on to do something else.
After a while, he came back and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"Just give us a copy of your store's specialty."
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Helian Chen nodded.
Xiao Er walked over, Helian Chen stood up and said, "You eat something here and drink tea first, and I'll go to the counter to see what private rooms are?"
"Okay!" Chu Xiaoxiang nodded in response.
Chu Xiaoxiang sat on the stool alone and waited, her eyes simply swept over the inn, and said to herself, I was in too much of a hurry to look carefully, but now I found out that there is such a uniquely decorated inn in the Imperial City of the Dust Country, which is really good!
"What are you talking about here alone?"
"It's nothing, it's just a few sighs, what? Is there a room? Chu Xiaoxiang raised his head and asked.
"Yes, there are two good Tianzi rooms."
Helian Chen stretched out his hand and pulled over the stool and sat down.
"That's good."
At this time, Xiao Er also brought the dishes they ordered and put them on the table.
"Let's eat, I've been on the road for so long, I really want to take a bath and I want to sleep!" As he spoke, Chu Xiaoxiang began to lie on the table a little decadently.
"Okay, then hurry up and eat, if you don't eat again, the food will be cold."
Helian Chen shook his head amusedly and said.
"Uh-huh."
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded.
The two of them quickly ate almost all the food and dishes on the table, stood up and walked towards the counter.
"Shopkeeper, where is our room?"
"Wait a minute, two guest officers." As he spoke, a man with a short stature, a slightly chubby body, and a beard turned to face Helian Chen and smiled, then straightened up and looked around, and saw a young man not far away, so he shouted: "Xiao Er, come and lead these two guest officers to the No. 1 room of Tianzi."
"Okay!" Xiao Er shouted happily, he walked up to Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang and said politely, "Two guest officers, please!"
Helian ChenHelian Chen nodded.
Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang followed behind Xiao Er, all the way to the innermost room on the third floor.
Looking up at the words 'Tianzi No. 1' written on the door, Chu Xiaoxiang could be very sure that this was their room.
Xiao Er took out the key to open the door, stood at the door of the room, stretched out a hand, made a 'please' gesture and said, "Two guest officers, please come in."
"Okay, thank you!" Helian Chen smiled and said to Xiao Er, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "Little meaning, this is a tip for you."
Xiao Er happily took the tip and said, "Thank you two guest officers."
After Xiao Er was about to leave, Chu Xiaoxiang stepped forward to stop Xiao Er's way and said, "Prepare two buckets of hot water for us first, we have to bathe."
"Okay, two guest officers, please wait a minute!" With that, he went out and got busy.
"Why did you give him a silver ingot?"
Looking at the back of Xiao Er's departure, Chu Xiaoxiang turned his head to look at Helian Chendao.
"It's the rule." Helian Chen didn't say anything, but Chu Xiaoxiang didn't understand what he said, she just didn't think it was necessary.
Xiao Er's efficiency really has nothing to say, and after a while, he brought two buckets of hot water twice.
Looking at the two buckets of hot water on the ground, Chu Xiaoxiang turned his head to look at Helian Chen and said, "Otherwise, you should take a shower first."
"No, aren't you clamoring for a bath? You go first. Helian Chen shook his head and said.
Hearing Helian Chen say this, Chu Xiaoxiang didn't continue to say anything, she bent down to carry the bucket of hot water, but suddenly a big hand reached over and took the lead in carrying the bucket of hot water into the bathing room.
"You ......"
Chu Xiaoxiang looked blankly at Helian Chen, who had already lifted two buckets of hot water into it, and said a little unable to react.
"Why did you bring hot water in?"
"This kind of hard work, you are not suitable for it, and you don't need to do it."
Hearing Helian Chen say this, Chu Xiaoxiang said in his heart that he was not moved, it was impossible.
"Then I'll go take a shower first."
"Uh-huh, go ahead." Helian Chen paused for a moment, and then said, "If you don't mind us taking a mandarin duck bath together, I'll have no problem."
Chu Xiaoxiang's little face turned red all of a sudden, she picked up a towel and threw it over, and then thought about it, she needed a towel for a bath, so she stepped forward and snatched the towel again, and then quickly ran into the shower room.
Helian Chen's hearty smile came from outside the shower room, which was very clear, and Chu Xiaoxiang's little face was even redder.
"Really, I was teased by him again, but ......"
Although Chu Xiaoxiang was a little embarrassed at this time, she didn't hate Helian Chen's ridicule.
There was even some euphoria.
It didn't take long for Chu Xiaoxiang to take a bath, she took a shower, put on her clothes and walked out, suddenly, a set of clothes appeared in front of her, and she looked up with the pair of slender and white hands that took the clothes, and saw that it was the clothes that Helian Chen handed to her, and asked suspiciously: "How do you have this clothes?"
"When you were in the shower, I went out and bought two sets, one for you and one for me."
"That's it!"
When Chu Xiaoxiang heard that Helian Chen had gone out to buy clothes for her, there was no way to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, she happily took the clothes with both hands, and then ran into the bath room to change the original clothes and put on the new clothes.
Seeing Chu Xiaoxiang walking out of the shower, Helianchen picked up the brand-new set of clothes and walked into the shower, while Chu Xiaoxiang stood on the windowsill and looked out, enjoying the night view of the imperial city.
They were busy all day, and although they didn't know how the whole day passed, they felt that they had a good time.
Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, Chu Xiaoxiang looked over along the people who were running over, and just saw a large group of people downstairs, very dense and impermeable, very strange what were they looking at?
"What are you looking at so seriously?"
As soon as Helian Chen came out of the shower, he saw Chu Xiaoxiang looking downstairs very seriously, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"I'm curious what they're looking at, too?" Chu Xiaoxiang turned his head to look at Helian Chen, and pointed at the downstairs with a slender and white finger.
"Is that so?"
Helian Chen walked to the window and looked in the direction pointed by Chu Xiaoxiang's finger, and also saw a group of people around, not knowing what they were looking at?
"Do you want to go down and have a look?"
"Hmm......" Chu Xiaoxiang tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's okay, there's nothing to do anyway."
"Okay, let's go down and see what's going on?" With that, they packed up properly and prepared to go out.
Suddenly, Helian Chen turned back into the house, and when he came out, he wrapped his hands around a pile of clothes, all of which they had just changed, except for their own needs, and he handed over the rest to Xiao Er.
It turns out that this inn also has a laundry service for guests!
"You know so much!" Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helian Chen magically.
"That's because you're stupid." Helian Chen said arrogantly.
"Cut~"
Chu Xiaoxiang looked at the other side with disdain, making a look of not caring.
Seeing Chu Xiaoxiang's funny appearance, Helian Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Xiaoxiang heard Helianchen's laughter, she didn't have to look back to know that Helianchen was laughing, she stomped her foot in annoyance, took a step forward, and was not prepared to wait for Helianchen behind her.
Helian Chen smiled, he quickly followed Chu Xiaoxiang and walked out of the inn door side by side with her.
The crowd of onlookers was on the right side of the entrance of Fanghua Inn, watching people running over to see the excitement, Chu Xiaoxiang casually dragged a man over and said, "What happened inside?"
"I don't know, but I've heard that it's a baby who was thrown outside."
"Baby?" Chu Xiaoxiang asked suspiciously.
The man nodded, and he quickly poured into the crowd.
