North of Liangzhou and south of Lingzhou.

Because it is located between Liangzhou and Lingzhou, the town is named: Lingliang Town.

There are about 100 families in the town, all of whom are natives of Lingliang, which is located in the north of Qiyun, closer to Lingzhou.

Due to the barren population between Liangzhou and Lingzhou, Lingliang Town has become one of the few resting places between the two states, and most of the merchants and dart bureaus will choose to replenish supplies in Lingliang Town.

Therefore, the people of Lingliang Town also started business in the town by virtue of this merchant dart bureau that traveled from south to north. All kinds of restaurants, inns, and blacksmith shops are distributed on the main street of Lingliang Town.

Lingliang Inn is one of the earliest inns in the town, and in those years, the business of Lingliang Inn can be described as making money every day.

After a few more years, the people in the town saw that the Lingliang Inn had made money, and they all followed suit and started these businesses. After coming and going, the inns and various storefronts in the town were opened, but the business of the Lingliang Inn was getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, with the family assets accumulated in the Lingliang Inn in the early years, Shopkeeper Feng had long been worried about food and clothing, and he was ready to close the inn after the Yuan Ri Festival. Take the money, move to Liangzhou City, buy a house, hire some people, take a daughter-in-law, and have a big fat boy.

When I came underground in the future and saw my ancestors, I didn't count it as a shame for the old Feng family.

Shopkeeper Feng was outside the inn, lying on a chaise longue, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, holding a shiny purple sand teapot that had already been rubbed by him.

Thinking about the life in Liangzhou in the future, I didn't care about the few customers in the store, just enjoying the rare winter sunshine and listening to the sound of the wheels of the carriages rolling on the snow on the street.

From time to time, I raised the teapot in my hand, held the spout, and took a sip, which was so comfortable.

Just as Shopkeeper Feng was in a comfortable mood, a call sounded in his ears.

"Shopkeeper, stay in the store."

Although Shopkeeper Feng is no longer short of money, but with guests, Shopkeeper Feng still grinned, got up from the recliner, bowed down habitually and said, "How many guest officers are there?" ”

Because he got up in a hurry, bowed down and asked, he habitually looked at the guest.

Look at the shoes first, the rich and noble, the shoes are expensive and tidy, even if it is raining and snowing, it is also a carriage trip, the upper of the shoe is not stained with a trace of dust, and the perennial dart masters who walk the rivers and lakes are covered with dust and mud, but the shoes are also exquisite.

And the shoes that come into view are not only full of snow and mud, but even the upper is torn.

Although Shopkeeper Feng was hunched over, he didn't need to get up to look at it again, and he knew that this person was not a rich family, nor was he a dart walker, most of them were coolies who had not passed by merchants doing some transportation.

Straightening up, although the shopkeeper Feng still smiled, his smile had faded a lot: "My Lingliang Inn has been given by the Liangzhou firm, and there are only three Tianzi rooms left, if the guest officer can't afford the room money, please..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the man who had broken the upper of his shoe threw over an object, and then strode into the inn.

I can't believe that I have never made a mistake in looking at people. This and this, a piece of gold is too rich to make a house, Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly put this small piece of gold to his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and took a closer look, yes, it is indeed genuine.

I didn't care about the teapot in my hand, so I threw it on the chaise longue, lifted up my robe, and followed the man into the inn.

"Guest officer, our Tianzi room is still empty, or I'll take you to have a look." Catching up with the footsteps of the guest, looking at the few guests in the store, Shopkeeper Feng was worried that the guest would see the clue and leave, so he hurriedly took the guest upstairs into the Tianzi room.

Unexpectedly, the customer stopped in the store, looked around the store, and carefully looked at every customer in the store, and showed a satisfied expression.

Although Shopkeeper Feng doesn't care much about business anymore, this generous guest still doesn't want to miss it.

Seeing that the guests showed a satisfied expression, the shopkeeper Feng, who had always been able to speak well, didn't know how to speak. He had to stand where he was.

"I like quiet, and I'm happy with you here." The guest opened his mouth first, but it sounded a little lacking in qi, as if he was tired from the journey, and as if he was seriously ill.

When Shopkeeper Feng heard the guest's words, he immediately smiled, stepped forward, bowed down and said, "If the guest likes it, I'll lead the guest to the Tianzi room." ”

Seeing that the guest nodded slightly, Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly led the guest up to the second floor, and pushed open the door of the Tianzi room.

Shopkeeper Feng heard the guest speak: "You instruct people to prepare some meals and boil some hot water." I washed and ate in my room. Prepare me some new clothes, buy a horse, and some dry food, and stay only one night, and I will leave tomorrow. After saying that, he threw a small piece of gold to Shopkeeper Feng.

"Well, don't worry, I will order someone to prepare for the guest officer." Shopkeeper Feng took care of the door for the guests with a smile, two pieces of gold in his hand, Shopkeeper Feng felt that the mood was more beautiful, hummed a little song and went downstairs, and told the second child in the store to do the things that the guests explained.

Seeing the shopkeeper leaving, the guest said to himself: "It's getting closer and closer to Liangzhou, and when you settle down, you should think about how to avenge Xiaoloufeng's brothers." ”

This person is Shen Yulou who escaped from Xiaolou Peak all the way.

Flipping the gold in his hand, Shopkeeper Feng remembered that his small teapot seemed to be still on the recliner in front of the door, and hurriedly paced a few steps, his teapot was finally drunk out of the tea mountain, but it couldn't be lost.

Just as Shopkeeper Feng walked to the door of the inn with his head bowed on the gold, he suddenly hit a hill, and Shopkeeper Feng fell on his back.

Shopkeeper Feng, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly picked up the two pieces of gold given by the guests of Tianzifang from the ground, carefully put them into his arms, and then raised his head and looked ahead.

The bearded man like an iron tower stood in front of him, the winter cold froze his beard to the slightest edge of ice, but the bearded man did not have the slightest fear of the cold, only wearing a single coat, and the muscles of his body were full of single clothes.

Shopkeeper Feng was so frightened by this big man that he forgot to get up for a while.

"Xue Hu, how many times have you said it, if you accidentally bump into someone else, remember to apologize!" A clear voice came from behind the big man.

Then, from behind the bearded man, the figure of a girl in blue clothes flashed, holding a sleeping ferret in her arms, and the girl came to the shopkeeper Feng's side gracefully.

"You're the shopkeeper of this inn, we want to stay in the hotel. I bumped into you, so please bear with me. The girl in blue was smiling like a flower.

A piece of broken silver was stuffed into his hand, which made Shopkeeper Feng come back to his senses. Getting up, Shopkeeper Feng felt that today was really strange, on weekdays, the business of his Lingliang Inn was robbed by several other houses, how could the guests change their temperament today, and they all went to their own store without guests.

What surprised Shopkeeper Feng even more was that as the girl in blue clothes entered the store, another twenty people came behind him. I was still lying in front of the guests in the Tianzi room and said that it was full, but now it is really full.

couldn't help but doubt his decision, Shopkeeper Feng thought about whether he didn't have to move to Liangzhou City early and continue to operate this Lingliang Inn.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had not yet come back to his senses, a young man came out of this group of people, walked up to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, we are sleepy and tired, and we just want to find a place to rest, and ask the shopkeeper to help us arrange one or two." ”

The young man smiled kindly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, the wine on his lips was slightly revealed, and the tone made people feel very comfortable. ”

After the shopkeeper answered, the young man smiled and said to the outside of the store: "Brother Qi, sister, let's stay here today." ”

After listening to a few words, two more people came in from outside the store, an ordinary man, accompanied by a soft woman, but this woman was wearing a black shirt of a Jianghu person, and there was a little sassy and heroic in the softness.

"Brother Mu, brother listen to you, let's not rush today, let's fight here today." The man with an ordinary face said, finished speaking, and looked at the soft woman beside him.

"Okay, everyone is tired of rushing day and night in the past few days, so let's rest today." The soft woman's smile made Shopkeeper Feng stunned.

This group of people is Gu Xiao and Qi Tianya, who are hurrying towards Lingzhou.

Seeing that these masters with ideas had all made up their minds, Shopkeeper Feng restrained his mind, welcomed everyone into the store, and hurriedly beckoned the people in the store to help take care of the horses outside the store.

"Shopkeeper, please prepare some food and drinks for our brothers." Qi Tianya took out the ingot of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and remembered Xue Hu's appetite, so he made up another ingot of silver.

Holding the two ingots of silver in his hand, Shopkeeper Feng said happily: "Okay, don't worry, I'll go and arrange it for you." ”

When he turned around, the shopkeeper couldn't help but whisper to himself: "It's really evil today, and they are all bold guests." ”

Although these words were said in a very soft voice, Gu Xiao and Qi Tianya were both masters of the hall, and their ears and eyes were extremely sensitive, so they could naturally hear it clearly.

The reason why Gu Xiao and Qi Tianya chose this Lingliang Inn, which is sparsely populated, is that there are indeed many people in the group, and secondly, it is also to avoid the crowds in this inn, and the group is eye-catching.

Listening to the shopkeeper talking to himself, Qi Tianya and Gu Xiao couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.

When Gu Xiao and Qi Tianya and their party first entered this Lingliang Town, they had already found out that this Lingliang Inn was the worst business inn in the town, and there were almost no guests on weekdays.

The two of them discussed to rest at the Lingliang Inn, but they didn't expect the shopkeeper to say that there were still generous guests in the inn. Only then did the ruler and Gu become suspicious, and they had to guard against whether this person was a spy sent by the ruler thousand blades.

After glancing at each other, Gu Xiao stopped the shopkeeper who was about to give instructions in the back hall, and asked, "Shopkeeper, just listen to you talk to yourself, saying that there are still generous customers in your store today?" ”

"Yes, the guest is more generous than you." Shopkeeper Feng didn't hide it, and said truthfully.

"Where does he live?" Gu Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Tianzi room. What's the matter, guest officer, did you make an appointment to meet in my store? ”

"No, I'm just curious."

"If the guest officer has no other instructions, then he will go and order the preparation of wine and food."

After answering Gu Xiao's question, the shopkeeper saluted everyone and entered the back hall.

Gu Xiao glanced at Qi Tianya slightly, Qi Tianya nodded, and the two of them looked up at the direction of the Tianzi room told by the shopkeeper at the same time.

When he looked up, the door of the Tianzi room, which originally showed a trace of cracks, closed instantly.

The alert colors of Gu and Qi had already surfaced on their faces, and they disappeared in a flash. The two nodded to each other and walked back to Su Mei and Lin'er's table. After a while, the dishes have been served, and everyone has been on the road for a few days, eating some dry food every day, and seeing the hot dishes and cooked food, they have eaten happily.

Although Gu Xiao and Qi Tianya were also eating, their eyes couldn't help but glance at the inn guys who were carrying wine and food and hot water upstairs at the same time, and saw a few guys enter the Tianzi room, and after a while, the guys went downstairs empty-handed and went to the back hall to continue to help.

After another moment, Xiao Er, who was buying in the store, came back from outside the store with brand-new clothes and some dry food, and when he saw that the store was full of customers, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and shouted to the back hall: "Shopkeeper, I'm back." ”
