Chapter 170: Ventilation Message
After leaving the inn, the two of them also had enough to eat, but they still didn't solve the problem of settling down.
Although there is a room in the inn, after today's incident, it is estimated that the people of Yunnan will reject them even more, so it is no longer a question of whether there is money or not, but whether the other party is willing or not.
"Well, it looks like we're going to find a ruined temple to rest in tonight." Mingkun said as he looked at the desolate street.
"General, when we used to march, didn't we just find a ruined temple to rest?" Dongfang Yi comforted.
Mingkun confessed to him, it was during the war, but he didn't expect that the current situation is no different from that time, which is really a bit ironic.
Along the way, the inns they passed were all closed, and when they were far away, they reopened, as if they were not willing to do their business.
Even some roadside vendors looked a little embarrassed when they saw them approaching.
"Big brother, you go to do business elsewhere, you see I'm also a small business, right?" The vendor owner said in embarrassment.
"We have money, and we can't even eat a bowl of noodles?" Mingkun took out a few copper coins and said.
"Big brother, you don't know, the news of your beating in the inn today is already known to everyone, if I am doing your business, it will be difficult for me to do business every minute." Xiao Er explained helplessly.
At this time, I saw Dongfang Yi take out a broken silver, "Boss, then you and I will have two bowls of somen noodles, and I will inquire about the news for hundreds of years, we don't eat in your store, and you don't greet us in the store, so we won't eat in your store, right?" ”
Obviously, Dongfang Yi wanted to play this kind of word game, but the boss couldn't help it when he looked at the broken silver in his hand, so he had to agree.
After a while, the two squatted at the door, and the boss took out two bowls of somen noodles and handed them over, not even saying a kind word, and immediately slipped back to the store.
"Alas, I didn't expect that I didn't even have the qualifications to eat noodles in the store, and I really lived like a beggar." Mingkun looked at the plain noodles in his hand and said with a wry smile.
At this time, several people passing by saw the two of them and laughed.
"Huh... You see, aren't these the two guys who beat people in the inn in the morning? ”
"Yes, looking at their appearance, it is estimated that few people are willing to do business with them, so they can only beg, haha..."
"That's it, I still want to make trouble when I come to Yunnan, and I deserve to be a beggar."
Watching a few people walk proudly, Mingkun suppressed the urge to hit people and continued to eat somen noodles.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yi grabbed him in time, otherwise, he really wouldn't even be able to eat somen noodles in the future.
At this time, the boss quietly walked out.
"Boss, I want to ask, why are you Yunnan so xenophobic? We came here just to make a living. Dongfang Yi said puzzled.
"You don't know this, since the death of the first emperor of Nanyue, Prince Duan has been the emperor, I didn't expect him to start squeezing other vassal countries, not only our Yunnan country, but even the Yan country's taxes have increased a lot, and we are also begging for a living." The boss explained helplessly.
Dongfang Yi seems to understand what the other party means, adjusting taxes will undoubtedly make more money, but only adjusting the taxes of other countries, while vassal countries do not have the conditions to adjust taxes to make money, and over time, there will be a gap in the national strength of the two countries, which can be seen from the living environment of the people alone.
"Hurry up and leave after eating, those people in the province think that I smashed my shop by making your voice." The boss said in a panic.
The two of them were not ambiguous, and left the stall immediately after eating, only to see the boss start to clean up and prepare to close.
"It seems that our life here may be even more difficult in the future." Dongfang Yi said helplessly.
"I think we'd better leave Yunnan quickly, it's the territory of Nanyue no matter what, if the dog emperor says a few words to the king of Yunnan, it's too late for us to run." Mingkun proposed.
Dongfang Yi thought about it for a while, it is not impossible, and now the stacked twin buildings have not been built, and now they have no place to stay, but he still believes in Gu Xiqian's arrangement.
"Let's talk about it in a few days, after all, it's only been a few days since we came, where else can we go after leaving Yunnan, and we don't have enough money for the journey, brother, right?" Dongfang Yi counted the silver in the money bag and said.
"Then let's hurry up and transfer enough money to go back." Mingkun said helplessly.
After watching the two walk away, the stall owner immediately whistled to attract a carrier pigeon.
"Good, go back and report to His Royal Highness."
After watching the carrier pigeon fly away, the boss also packed it up with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Mo Xuanyin, who is in Nanyue, still goes out to drink and have fun every day, and it seems that he has no heart to deal with government affairs, and he is not even in the early dynasty.
But the emperor didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't want to pay attention to it.
One afternoon, he saw a carrier pigeon fly to his room, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a messenger from Yunnan to report.
It was written what happened to Mingkun and the two in Yunnan in the past few days, and Mo Xuanyin was a little angry.
"What a bastard, I was supposed to let you go over and you would have washed my mind and changed my face, but I didn't expect you to be."
Then he wrote a reply, and when the messenger received it, his face changed.
"What? Those two people are actually the former emperor of Nanyue? ”
Although the old emperor's ministry is also very respectable today, not only because the benevolence of the former emperor of Nanyue is famous all over the world, but their soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, and they are very friendly to the people, and they have always been a model for other countries to learn.
However, after the change of dynasty, many people thought that the old department of the former emperor had been wiped out by Prince Duan, but they didn't expect that they would still be able to see them.
His Royal Highness's reply made him hesitate, but now they are no longer the famous old ministry of the former emperor, but a chaotic party, so that in desperation, he entered the capital and asked the king of Yunnan for advice.
When he heard the news of the return of the prince of the former emperor, Yuan was also suspicious of his ears, but since it appeared, he had to send someone to keep an eye on it.
"Your Majesty, it is imperative to send someone to keep an eye on those two rebellious parties, according to the minister's humble opinion, they may be spies sent by the South Vietnamese State." The messenger proposed.
The king of Yunnan hesitated, since it was the old ministry of the first emperor, then martial arts were naturally not a problem.
"Send out secret guards, if there is any trouble, you will be killed!"
After the envoy left, he saw several secret guards come out, respectfully salute the king of Yunnan and leave the main hall.
On the other hand, Mingkun and the two, who had no place to stay, went from the city to the outside of the city, and after looking for a few hours, they finally prepared to spend the night in a ruined temple where no one was around.
Looking at the burning fire, the two also chatted.
"How long are we going to go on like this?" Mingkun looked at the fire and sighed.
"General, don't worry, we'll be over soon, let's go back after we earn enough money for the journey." Dongfang Yi lost a piece of firewood and sighed.
I saw Mingkun glancing around, "However, now people can't tolerate us anymore." ”
Dongfang Yi sighed a little, because the secret guard had been observing here for two hours, and it had been two hours since the two of them walked into the broken temple just now, and after changing the medicine for Mingkun, why didn't they sneak attack?
"Friends in the shadows, come out, if you can, don't you show up?" Dongfang Yi shouted around.
However, after a long while, no one responded to the two of them, as if they were talking to the air.
"Uh... Since you don't want to show up for a while, then don't blame us for being polite! Mingkun stood up, but just after changing the medicine, there was still some pain in his body, so he still sat down peacefully.
"Huh... Boom! ”
An arrow whistled in, but it wasn't aimed at them, it just hit a pillar inside the ruined temple, as if to warn them.
However, to their curiosity, there was a note tied to the arrow.
"Hmph, that's interesting, I didn't expect us to run into hard stubble this time." Mingkun sneered.
I saw a sound outside, and as soon as the two looked at each other, Dongfang Yi immediately turned over and flew to the roof, and Mingkun immediately ran out when he saw this.
Sure enough, after seeing the other party running up again, the people who were observing above immediately left the roof, but when they wanted to leave, they met Mingkun who was waiting at the door.
"Guys, since you're here, you might as well go in and sit down." Mingkun said politely.
"It won't be the old ministry of the first emperor, we are just ordered to watch you, if you want to make trouble in Yunnan, we will not let you go."
Looking at the dress of the man in black, Mingkun didn't have a clue, the few people he fought today were all ordinary people, why would someone come to chase and kill him soon?
But apparently the other party didn't make a move, but left after a few cruel words.
"General, what about the people?" Dongfang Yi, who came down from upstairs, looked at Mingkun and asked.
"It's okay, they're gone, it looks like they're just here to spy on us, it seems that we need to be careful in the future."
Mingkun looked into the distance, his eyes narrowed, and then returned to the ruined temple.
On the other hand, after receiving the news of the secret guard's reply, Mo Xuanyin regretted letting them go, and now that the dark guard not only exposed himself, but also made the other party vigilant, it would be even more difficult to catch them.
However, what he didn't understand seemed to be that someone was guiding them to Yunnan, so who was this person?
At this time, he saw Gu Xiqian moving his hands and feet with Liuyun outside, which made him suddenly have an idea.
In the evening, Mo Xuanyin came to the room, and saw that Gu Xiqian had just finished taking the medicine at this time, and Liu Zhi left immediately with a plate.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Looking at the approach, Gu Xiqian was a little nervous.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of seeing if your injuries are healed." Mo Xuanyin said coldly.
Listening to his tone, Gu Xiqian was a little puzzled, why did his tone change so much all of a sudden?
