There are two more people than when he came, and the ordinary horses that Zhang Qianjian sat on were naturally not as good as the black snow horses of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they were not as fast as they ran when they first came out of Gusu before.
It's just that the person who led the way has changed from Wancui to Zhang Qianjian, and in order to catch up with his tenure, he has been taking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several people along the way to take shortcuts.
This man can always find some shortcuts, and it seems that he is well prepared before he leaves.
Fortunately, in the past ten days, everyone was able to find the inn before dark, and they no longer slept in the mountains and forests with beasts, and they also did not encounter robbers.
If there is an eye-opening robbery that robs a few people of His Royal Highness the Prince, it can be regarded as eight lifetimes of mold.
"Li~~~" Zhang Qianjian suddenly slowed down and stopped on the mountain path.
"Why didn't Brother Zhang leave?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked with some curiosity.
"Wait. After Zhang Qianjian said three words simply, he took out the road map summarized before leaving from Huailai and looked at it and said: "Ha, I finally caught up before the term of office, and after about three or four days of work from this road, I will arrive at Pinghe City, the most marginal part of Xituo." โ
"Coincidentally, there is a family from here to transport the inn or opened by my friend, so I can't say that I can save the money for food and lodging tonight. Zhang Qianjian put away the roadmap and said with a smile.
"Then son, let's go. The scholar Zhang Pu said immediately.
"Don't worry, the courtesies are still exchanged, you can't go empty-handed when you see a friend. Zhang Qianjian turned over and dismounted, and said to His Royal Highness the Prince: "Bother a few people to wait for me." โ
"Out of the way. Yuan Kong bowed his hand and said in return.
I saw Zhang Qianjian walking up the mountain, but it was a long time to wait, at least half an hour later, I saw this benevolent brother running down the mountain sweating profusely, and came back with some mushrooms and bamboo shoots in his robe: "Zhang Pu, quickly take a bag to pack these." "There was a lot of bumps on the way down the mountain.
It turned out that this was what Zhang Qianjian said, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Zhang, you really know how to use local materials." โ
Even Zhang Pu seemed to be a little complaining and said: "Childe, let's give this to someone else, just want to exchange it for other people's free food and lodging, which is too deductible." โ
Zhang Qianjian glared at the scholar: "What do you know, we can't do it, let's just send some souvenirs." They can also use it if they run inns. โ
"If you can't help it, you won't send it. Zhang Pu muttered quietly while wrapping the baggage.
Zhang Qianjian was also accustomed to the muttering of his scholar, so he got on the horse and arched his hand to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again and said, "Brother Tai has been waiting for a long time, let's go." โ
It seems that Zhang Qianjian remembered that he was wrong, and said that he would go down from this road to the inn, but after walking for so long, the sky was dark and he didn't see it.
"Childe, how long have you not seen that friend, is that friend's inn still open?" Zhang Pu rode on Childe's side, seeing that he hadn't found it for so long, he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Well, this should still be open, and he pointed to this to make a living at the inn. Hearing this, Zhang Qianjian also seemed to be a little uncertain and said.
"My son-in-law, I can't say that your friend has made a fortune, and he doesn't rely on this inn. Zhang Pu rolled his eyes and said.
"No, it must still be open, I still have a correspondence with him a few days ago, last time your son-in-law learned that he was going to come to this west to be the county commander, and sent him a letter to inform him of the situation, but I haven't replied to me yet, and I don't know if I received it, this time I just asked. โ
After speaking, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's just that I haven't been here for too long, and I can't figure out the way when it's dark, let's look for it again." The latter words were said to Yuankong.
After looking for another quarter of an hour, I saw that it was completely dark, and I still didn't know where the inn was.
"Looks like I'm going to spend the night on a hill tonight. Amber said at this time, but this tone didn't sound like he meant to complain about Zhang Qianjian, probably staying on the top of the mountain for a night, and he felt good to have game to eat.
"Brother Zhang, let's talk about this inn tomorrow, it may have to go one way further, so let's find a place to settle down tonight." Amber reminded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that if he couldn't find the inn, he couldn't keep looking for it, so he spent tonight first.
"I'm sorry to listen to you. Zhang Qianjian is not the one who admits death, and when he heard this, he replied that he no longer insisted on looking for the inn.
A few people turned around from the mountain road in front of them, planning to find this mountain to settle nearby, and they didn't know if they had the luck to have a broken temple for a few people to live in tonight.
"Childe, look, is that what you said about the Inn? Zhang Pu, the first scholar to turn the mountain road, suddenly exclaimed with some excitement.
"Yes, it must be, this place can't have any other home than the inn, I said this can't be mistaken. Zhang Qianjian heard the scholar's exclamation, and rode forward, and saw the wooden building compound at a glance.
This can be regarded as 'the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village' This can have an inn to live, there are steaming meals to eat, and there is hot water bathing is naturally much better than sleeping on the mountain, and a few people are also very happy at the moment, and they are running towards the inn on horseback.
This inn is not far away, and a few galloping people have arrived in front of the inn. This inn is not big, and there is a somewhat dilapidated wooden plaque hanging on the main entrance with the words "Yunlai Inn". It is estimated that Zhang Qianjian's friend can only make a living from this, and he has not yet made a fortune.
It is a strange thing that this is the night when the inn is doing business, but the door is closed, and there is a closed lantern in front of the door. The sound of horses' hooves did not startle the people in this small inn to come out and take a look.
The inn was poor enough, and there were not many horses in front of the door, and a few people dismounted and took the reins in their hands.
As a friend, Zhang Qianjian naturally didn't care if you closed or not, he stepped forward and patted the wooden door, and there was no movement after a few shots.
"Strange thing, could it be that he and his wife can't sleep today. Zhang Qianjian muttered in a low voice and closed the wooden door again.
This time, he slapped the door with his palm, and he used more strength.
The light in the inn lit up. It is estimated that the owner finally heard the movement and woke up from his sleep to open the door.
There were some heavy footsteps, and when you heard the sound, you knew it was a man. The figure gradually enlarged on the wooden door, and with a snap the deadbolt was removed.
The door wood slightly exposed a slit, and only the man's eyes could be clearly seen from the slit, and he couldn't even see the real face: "I'm sorry to close, you can come tomorrow." "Then close the door again.
"Don't don't, you're new here, I'm your shopkeeper's friend, let us in. Zhang Qianjian hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to jam the door that was about to be closed.
