Shali Town, the town is as its name suggests, after this town, the northwest Jingluo Mansion has changed the appearance of plugging the south of the Yangtze River. www.biquge.info This town is located at the end of the Tahe River, and when the spring is warm, the grass is luxuriant and the flow of people is dense, and it is the best resting place for business travelers who have just come out of the desert.

Due to the ruins of Tamu City, the blockade of the ice fields and heavy snow, and of course, the impact of the war, there were few merchants, and this town, like those hibernating beasts, also entered a dormant time on this winter day.

When Yue Qingsoul and Nalan Xue entered Shali Town, they saw a different scene. Although it had been dark for a long time, the wine shop and dining hall were brightly lit and full of people.

Yue Qingsoul glanced at Nalan Xue, who was silent, and walked directly to a rather deserted inn. When the men, who were still listless, saw the guests coming, they immediately led the two of them in with a smile on his face.

However, when the two of them arrived in the light, the man saw that although the young men and women who had come in were of superior appearance, their clothes were inferior, and he was immediately disappointed. Before he could speak, the shopkeeper had already looked at the guy and said, "Didn't you explain the rules of the store to them?"

The guy looked depressed, seeing that other businesses were in full swing and his own house was deserted, he was naturally very jealous. But it can't be helped, who made the rules of the inn so rigid?

He glanced at Nalan Xue, who was dressed as a village girl in a shabby green clothes with her hair tied in a turban, and then at the down-and-out Yue Qing Soul, who was useless except for her face, couldn't help but shake her head, and stretched out his finger to the plaque at the two.

I saw that there were seven big characters written on the plaque - first to Luo Yi and then to people!

He expected that most of the two of them didn't know how to read, so he said with a straight face: "I'm sorry two, we only entertain people with status and status!"

Yue Qingsoul nodded, and said lightly: "Not bad! Very good!"

The guy saw that Yue Qing's soul looked light and light, and he was amused in his heart, he had seen a lot of this kind of poor school, and it seemed that he had read some books, but it was a pity that no matter how many words he knew, he couldn't be used as a money caller here.

Nalan Xue was already disgusted by the snobbery of this inn, but she didn't speak. In her opinion, Yue Qing Soul must have his reasons for choosing here, although Yue Qing Soul is not a good person, but he is not a boring person, and he will not use such a boring thing to tease two ordinary people.

Sure enough, Yue Qingsoul smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm barely a person with status and status!" He walked directly to the counter, smiled and handed a black sign that looked like a casino chip to the shopkeeper.

The man was taken aback and was about to stop him, but he saw that the shopkeeper had already bent down towards the young man.

Nalan Xue shook secretly, she had already guessed that this inn was the property of the Hidden God, and the Hidden God was really everywhere, and even this kind of town had their stronghold.

At that moment, the shopkeeper personally invited Yue Qingsoul and Nalan Xue to sit down and rest, made a pot of hot tea, and served a few snacks. Then, two more men were called to prepare the guest room.

The two guys knew that the identity of the country man and woman was not simple, and they were doubly careful in doing things, so they asked softly: "Shopkeeper, but you want to arrange a room?" They specially emphasized the three words "one room."

The shopkeeper was still apprehensive, and his mood had not yet calmed down, so he remembered that he had not asked the big man from above how many rooms he wanted, and pondered: It is dark and dark, and the relationship must be unusual! However, seeing that the woman and the adult are not close, if he recklessly arranges only one room, I am afraid that the woman will not be happy, and the adult will definitely be angry with him at that time. But if it wasn't what he thought, and that woman was born with an ice beauty, the adults would just be jealous of him for not creating a chance......

The shopkeeper thought about it before and after, and his heart was confused for a while, but he couldn't get it right! You must know that this small black brand is not only a symbol of status, but also equivalent to gold coins, it is said to be worth 100,000 gold coins, he has only seen the atlas before, just now secretly compared the shape and texture, and sure enough, it is not bad!

The shopkeeper became more and more worried, the man was a figure walking in the sky, and compared to the other party, he was just an ant crawling on the ground.

Speaking of the shopkeeper's gains and losses, the guy next to him could see it clearly, and said softly: "Shopkeeper, don't we still have an independent courtyard? There are three rooms in it, so it's better to ......."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, a good idea, give a yard directly, when the time comes, whether they use one room or two rooms, even if they take turns sleeping in three rooms, it has nothing to do with him, just ask for it to be properly brought in and sent out.

Another guy said, "Shopkeeper, it's not proper, have you forgotten? The big courtyard next door is occupied by officials of the imperial court, and they have specially instructed them not to arrange for other guests to approach their courtyard?"

The shopkeeper's eyes glared: "Snort, can you let them? If they have an opinion, you can say two good words at most, let them be accommodating!"

The guy said with a bitter face: "Shopkeeper, those people took out the royal token, we can't afford to mess with it!"

The shopkeeper looked at the guy with hatred, but he couldn't tell the other party that the county official was better off in charge, so as not to reveal the identity of the big man, so he simply said: "What are you afraid of, if you are not happy, we will pay him three times the house money, and let them change places to live! Hey, you don't want to think about it, where is there any good place in Shali Town now, a lot of bitter haha poured in, our peers, because the business has been sluggish, now it is not taboo, if they are not happy to be hospitalized, they can go out and squeeze together with the bitter haha!"

The fellow sighed and reluctantly went to the back.

The shopkeeper doesn't care, there are big people, and there is a tall top when the sky falls, maybe he will be loyal, and he can soar to the sky if he hugs his thighs!

......

Yue Qingsoul and Nalan Xue sat silently for a moment, looking at each other speechlessly.

Yue Qingsoul sighed in his heart, the other party never revealed his thoughts, which made him embarrassed. He has always acted decisively, once he has made a decision, he will not give up until he achieves his goal, since he decided to help Nalan Xue break the happy demon, he is not willing to give up halfway.

Yue Qingsoul thought for a moment and chuckled: "Do you know who set the rule of this kind of inn 'respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people'?"

Nalan Xue frowned slightly.

Yue Qing's soul pointed at herself: "It's me! but-do you know why I set this rule?"

Nalan Xue shook her head, the other party saved her, she couldn't keep talking coldly. What's more, the pain in her heart has nothing to do with the other party at all, and she looks ungrateful with a cold face.

Yue Qingsoul smiled slightly: "It's very simple! Do you know whose money is the best?"

Nalan Xue shook her head again, she didn't care about the other party's problems at all.

Yue Qingsoul said: "Fools' money is the best to earn! There are always some people in this world who have a good face regardless of whether they have money or not. This is the same as why the top girl in the Qinglou is always outrageously expensive, is that the top card really much better than other girls? Not necessarily, it is just to let those prostitutes earn face!"

Nalan Xue's face was thin and angry, this analogy was frivolous, she obviously couldn't agree with it! The most important thing was that when it came to the idea of having no money and having a good face, she immediately thought of three people-Ah Heng and his two worshippers and brothers. When she was in the Gu tribe, she deliberately took out the glorious past of the three heroes of Wolf City from Xiaolou's mouth, and she really couldn't bear to witness it!

If you take Yue Qingsoul's words as an example, Ah Heng and his wife are out-and-out fools, how can she agree with such a judgment? Thinking of Ah Heng, she finally showed a smile, but when she thought of Yue Qingsoul's words after leaving the small village, her heart sank again, has he really given up everything and decided to die alone?

Yue Qingsoul continued to talk eloquently: "This is only one of them, and the other point is more important, that is, to corrupt the atmosphere of a place, so that they look at money in everything, only for profit, and unscrupulous means." Don't underestimate this subtle erosion, it's essentially a war, and it's a war that's more terrible than physical destruction. For a locality, for a country, it will take at least thirty years to rebuild the faith of a generation!"

Nalan Xue nodded unconsciously, the God-given Republic is an example? Aren't the senators, the Templars, and the tribal officials corrupted like this! The only trustworthy people in this country are the people and soldiers at the bottom, and poverty has allowed them to retain the most firm faith.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over, and Yue Qingsoul stopped talking.

The shopkeeper recounted his arrangement, and Yue Qingsoul nodded to express satisfaction.

The shopkeeper was about to leave, and Yue Qingsoul suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper, as far as I know, the town shouldn't be so busy this season, who are those people?"

The shopkeeper bowed for a while, and said respectfully: "My lord doesn't know anything...... he saw Yue Qingsoul glaring, and quickly changed his words: "The guest officer doesn't know, those are all people from the side of Tamu City, around the year, they were requisitioned from all over the country to build Tamu City, I don't know why, they were all released early, and they also received a lot of wages! These people are reluctant to spend money, and it happens that the business of the merchants in the town is sluggish, so they should lose money and make money!"

Yue Qingsoul frowned, he remembered what the old woman had said, the men in the family were requisitioned to Tamu City to repair the city wall, these ten days or so, plus the back and forth on the road, is equivalent to putting all the time on the road!

The current supreme commander of the Northern Frontier Army is Meng Dun, what the hell is he doing? If it is smoke, who will be deceiving?

Yue Qingsoul glanced at Nalan Xue, but saw that the other party was unmoved, and seemed to have expected it. He asked the shopkeeper thoughtfully, "Didn't those people say any useful rumors?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's all a bunch of bitter haha, what can you know? It's just that you got paid and came back! My lord, do you want to inquire about something, I'll arrange it for you!"

Yue Qingsoul nodded, and when the shopkeeper went out, a guy suddenly came over in a hurry, looking anxious, and after seeing no trace of the shopkeeper, he was even more restless.

Yue Qing's soul moved in his heart, beckoned to the guy, and after the other party came over, he said gently: "Did something happen?"

The guy stopped talking.

Yue Qing Soul smiled and said: "If it has something to do with us, you just say it's okay, I won't blame you, and I won't let him embarrass you!"

The guy took a reassuring pill, calmed down, and told the story.

Yue Qing's soul was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, is there such a stupid person in the world? Those court officials clearly told him that they were unsightly, or they had done something disgraceful!

However, this is not the stupidest thing, the stupidest thing is that they actually ran into their own territory. Yue Qingsoul laughed happily, and he immediately said to the guy: "Tell those adults, just say that you have already taken care of it, don't say anything else, remember?"

The guy hurriedly rejoiced: "Remember, remember, thank you, officer!"

He turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Yue Qingsoul say again: "By the way, arrange two rooms for me, there are no requirements, just be quiet!"

The man answered and hurried away.

Yue Qing's soul shook his head helplessly at Nalan Xue and said, "It's not a good thing to be too majestic sometimes!"

Nalan Xue lowered her eyes, she was originally a smart person in Bingxue, so she naturally understood: Yue Qingsoul was not only lamenting that the shopkeeper was too cautious, but also lamenting that those officials of the Bright Dynasty wanted to cover it up, and they were extremely stupid!

After a while, the man came over again and explained that the matter had been taken care of, and the room for the two had been arranged.

Nalan Xue got up and left her seat and returned to the room alone.

The moment she entered the room and looked at the door, tears filled her eyes. She covered her face tightly with her hands, only to feel that her eyes and ears were full of earth-shattering shouts of killing, she saw the wolf riders who followed her fall one after another, she saw the bearded man cut off his arms in order to save her, and she saw blood staining the icy waters of Tonggu Lake.

In just two days, two hundred wolf riders were killed, and the bearded man also died, all because of their trust in her!

Nalan Xue's heart was dripping blood, she bit her lip hard, trying not to let herself cry, she muttered unconsciously: Hulan Jin, did I see you wrong? Or do you owe everyone a life like me. Did you know that blood is only paid by blood?
