Chapter 9: Yunmeng Town

Ruyi and his party also marched towards Yunmeng Mountain, and the road was a lot smoother. Several people were carefully disguised, but they didn't find any suspicious stalkers and pursuers. Several people hurried quickly, and they arrived in Yunmeng Town on this day.

Yunmeng Town is a small town at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, not so much a small town as a village, because Mr. Guiguzi lives in Yunmeng Mountain, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit, making the small village at the foot of the mountain increasingly prosperous, and the inn wine shop is slowly opening, and the original small village has begun to take shape.

"Ruyi, let's rest in Yunmeng Town for one night, and tomorrow I will take you up the mountain to meet Mr. Guiguzi. It's been a hard time these days, so take a good rest. Tian Rang turned his head sideways and said to Ruyi behind him.

"It's all up to Brother Tian's arrangement." These days, the two of them ride together, Ruyi was a little embarrassed at first, but then slowly got used to it, comforting himself The children of the rivers and lakes don't care too much.

While speaking, he walked to the door of an inn, and there was a plaque hanging above the door, and the plaque had four big characters written on the plaque. The four of them dismounted and entered the store, and there was a little two at the door to move the horse to the backyard.

"Do the four guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper greeted him attentively. Most of the people who come here to stay here are looking for Mr. Guiguzi, there are dignitaries from all over the world seeking talents, and there are also those who apprentice or become future dignitaries. Therefore, the shopkeeper is very good at doing business and treats every customer with courtesy.

"What type of room do the four distinguished guests want to live in, we have an elegant viewing room with a window that can not only see the beautiful scenery of Yunmeng Mountain, but also a luxurious large suite, as well as ......" Without waiting for the shopkeeper to continue chattering, Tian Rang said in a deep voice: "There are two reserved rooms in Tianzi. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Okay, I'll go and prepare." Then he turned and departed.

Ruyi was a little surprised by the shopkeeper's reaction, but he couldn't see any flaws. After a while, Xiao Er respectfully led the four of them into the Tianzi room.

When he walked to the door of the room, Tian Rang suddenly said: "Ruyi, you freshen up and rest for a while, and I will take you to eat later." There is a braised beef in town that is delicious, let's try it together. ”

"It's okay, Brother Tian, you are busy first, you don't have to take care of me."

Tianzi room is spacious, bright and private, rushed for a few days, Ruyi is indeed tired, want to freshen up and rest, Ruyi is still not very accustomed to others to serve, try to do it yourself. Xia He chased after her every time to help.

As soon as Ruyi finished washing his face, Xia He hurriedly handed over the towel, "Miss, why did you just say that you should let Brother Tian be busy first, what should Brother Tian be busy with?" ”

"We usually live in ordinary guest rooms in hotels, but this time we live in a Tianzi room, and it is reserved in advance, which can only mean that someone is waiting for Brother Tian to meet or this inn is the property of the Mo family."

Xia He looked at Ruyi adoringly, "Miss, you are so smart. ”

As Ruyi guessed, at this time, Tian Rang was listening to the report of the ink man. This inn is one of the Moh's intelligence points, and due to its special environmental location, it is the best place to listen to news.

"There may be a civil war in Wei recently, and Wei Shuan, the second son of Wei, has already made a move to the eldest son Wei Poppy, but it has not yet been seen." An inkman stood up and reported.

"Recently, there have been frequent contacts between South Korea and Zhao, and there is a fear that something will happen." The ink scholars reported one by one, "Wei Xuan, the second son of Wei State, frequently contacted General Wei Guozhen Yuanda. ”

"General Zhenyuan?" Tian Rang suddenly interjected and asked, the other ink masters were very strange. Only Zhang Tie, who was with Tian Rang, knew that the address where Ruyi sent the letter before was General Zhenyuan's Mansion.

"Yes, Juzi, Gongzi Chuan intends to win over General Zhenyuan, and General Zhenyuan seems to be inclined to do so, but according to more reliable sources, Gongzi Slow seems to be using hostages to cooperate." Tian Rang nodded thoughtfully.

"Giant, there is one more thing, recently Zhao Guo has rumored that he has obtained the strange book "Warring States Policy".

"That book has been gone for so long and then popped up? Is there a whereabouts of the hexagonal crystal? Tian Rang asked in surprise.

"There's no news on that magical stone yet."

*

Ruyi seemed to dream of a child, which was a carefree age, but the happy childhood came to an abrupt end, and there was endless pursuit and escape.

"Miss, Miss, wake up" Xia He shook Ruyi's arm anxiously, trying to wake Ruyi up from the nightmare. I saw Ruyi sweating profusely and struggling.

There was a knock outside the door, Xia He didn't care about opening the door and shouting to come in, so he continued to look after Ruyi, Tian Rang couldn't care about the movement inside and strode in, "What's wrong with Ruyi?" ”

"I slept well just now, and suddenly it's like this, it should be a nightmare." Xia He replied anxiously.

At this time, Ruyi slowly woke up, sleepy-eyed, and looked at the two anxious faces in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" The voice was a little hoarse, Xia He hurriedly helped Ruyi sit up and drank some water before he eased up.

"Miss, you scared the slave to death just now." Xia He breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Ruyi, do you feel any discomfort, I'll go and get a doctor for you." Tian Rang asked with some concern.

"Brother Tian, don't be busy, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare, and I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?"

"It's all right!"

"Okay then, do you want to rest again, or pack up and let's go to dinner," Tian Rang asked thoughtfully.

"I'll clean up and go eat, I'm really hungry for this toss." Ruyi deliberately rubbed his stomach exaggeratedly.

Tian Rang Wan'er smiled, "Then you clean up, I'll wait for you outside." ”

Ruyi didn't seem to be affected by the nightmare just now, and walked around with great interest. Tian Rang smiled and slowly followed, without urging.

"Miss, aren't you hungry? Still walking so slowly? "Xia He is a little hungry." Okay, listen to you, come back and we'll take a slow stroll. Ruyi said with a smile. Only then did a few people quicken their pace.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard one of the tables discussing who would be the winner of this year's competition. Ruyi and the others found a corner and sat down quietly, asked for a few signature dishes, and pricked up their ears to listen to their discussion.

I only heard one of the men say loudly, "I think the top spot in this year's competition should be Sun Bin, who is better in literature and martial arts, and the art of war is even more strange." ”

Another young man immediately retorted, "You're not right, it must be Pang Juan, Pang Juan is no worse than Sun Bin, and he has been a teacher longer than Sun Bin, so it must be him." ”

Others also gossiped, "I think Zhang Yi is also good." "Zhang Yi is still too young, too young, and inexperienced." ……

After a while, Xiao Er shouted at the top of his voice to serve the food, which happened to interrupt the listening of several people. The meal was served quickly, and it was ready in a while.

The table was still hotly discussed. As soon as Ruyi heard Sun Bin Pang Juan, she immediately became interested, so she asked Tian Rang quietly, "What are they talking about?" ”

"They may be talking about your future brothers." Tian Rang said with a rare smile.

"Brother Tian, you also make fun of me." Ruyi said.

"Don't worry, I will help you persuade that old man in Guiguzi to take you as an apprentice," Tian Rang's eyes were warm, and he promised with a serious face.

Zhang Tie said casually on the side, "It's just that he never accepts female apprentices, so it's really a bit troublesome." ”

Ruyi couldn't stand Tian Rang's gentle gaze, and hurriedly interrupted, "What's going on with the competition?" ”

"The girl doesn't know, this competition was originally just an exam set up by Mr. Guiguzi's school disciples, but in recent years, some self-studyers, some other teachers, and some people who want to apprentice will also come to take the exam, so the scale of the exam is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a competition in the past two years." Zhang Tieyang's introduction was as proud as if he had participated.

"If you want to apprentice, you can participate?" Ruyi's eyes lit up, he looked at Zhang Tie expectantly, and then turned his head to look at Tian Rang.

"Yes, yes, there is a separate apprenticeship group competition, but only for men." Zhang Tie scratched his head and continued with some embarrassment.

Ruyi looked at Zhang Tie with a smile, "I know, Brother Zhang, I'll figure it out myself, I'm going to take the exam." He turned his head and said to Xia He, "Xia He, let's eat quickly, and we'll go shopping for clothes after eating." ”

"Miss...... Are you really planning to go to apprenticeship? What about the slave maid," Xia He asked hesitantly.

Ruyi's chopsticks stretched out to the braised beef stopped in mid-air, she really hadn't thought about this question carefully, or she was subconsciously avoiding it. If she went to apprenticeship by herself, she would definitely not be able to bring a maid to serve, although she had never really treated Xia He as a maid. She really didn't know what Xia He should do. Maybe Xia He represents his past, and he always wants to draw a line with the past.

"Xia He, why don't you apprentice with me. So we can still be together. ”

"But the slave doesn't know how to apprentice at all?"

"You can write, I'll teach you the rest in the next few days."

“……”

"Don't worry, no problem." Tian Rang said suddenly.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Tian Rang with different expressions. Tian Rang's face was a little red and he stammered: "You... Such... What are you looking at me for? ”

After eating, the four of them walked back with their own thoughts. Ruyi is no longer in the mood to come. Just when I walked to a tailor's shop, I bought a few sets of men's clothes.

Back at the inn, Xia He asked Ruyi suspiciously while packing up the clothes she had just bought, "Miss, why did you buy so many men's clothes?" ”

"We disguised ourselves as men to go to our apprenticeship. Although Brother Tian said that there is a way, I also want to try it myself. Xia He, you're done cleaning up, I'll teach you some simple homework. Ruyi said seriously.

"Miss, I'm worried that I can't do it." Xia He said with some hesitation.

"Xia He, you must do it. In the future, we sisters will be commensurate, and there will be no master and servant, so don't call me Miss anymore, call me sister. Ruyi's eyes were bright, like sunshine full of hope, and she looked at Xia He seriously.

Xia He's heart lit up, but he was more shy and helpless, and stammered: "Then how... Can it be done? ”

"What can't be done in this world?"
