Chapter 700: Early Winter VI
Ningguo, Annam-do.
Yudan City.
In early winter, Yudan City looked more and more bleak.
Because of the confrontation between Ning and Wu at the end of the pass, the trade between the two countries came to a standstill.
The merchants who had been active in this area did not know how long this stalemate would last, and they had long since left the place to do some peaceful business elsewhere.
As a result, there were even fewer people in Yudan City.
The business of the Yuelai Inn in Yudan City is also not as good as before.
The fourth day of the winter month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua, in the evening.
Yuelai Inn came to a few dusty guests.
"Little two......!"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan jumped off the horse's back and roared at the gate of the Yuelai Inn.
"It's coming......!"
A young man in Tsing Yi ran out of the gate, bowed down and asked, "...... guest officer?"
His words were interrupted by Wang Zhenghaoxuan: "The five of us, open three upper rooms!" ”
"Great!"
"Get our horses to be washed and fed with more concentrate...... Boy, has there been a fight at Boundless Pass? ”
The little second took the reins from Wang Zhenghaoxuan's hand and shrugged his shoulders: "Not yet, but it should be soon." ”
"How do you know it's going to be soon?"
"Guess, there are a lot fewer people sending wood to the city these days, and there are a lot less voices of carpentry in the school yard, but there are a lot more high shelves, I don't know what it is, but it looks like this little half a year's work is done."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan and the others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what this little two said.
He waved his hand: "You go and wait for our horses first, let's go in and get some food first." ”
"Great! Guest officers, please! ”
The little second was about to leave with the horse, but was stopped by Wang Zhenghaoxuan: "Hey, little brother, this city is ...... Where are the dogs? ”
Xiao Er was stunned, "Big or small?" ”
"Of course it's big!"
“…… There is a young lady in the Spring Festival Courtyard in Yanliu Alley who has a big black dog, strong! ”
Wang Zhenghaoxuan immediately laughed, "You settle our horses, and take me to recognize the road when we come back." ”
Xiao Er looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan, "Guest officer, what are you, what are you looking for a dog?" ”
"Don't ask, go and go, we're in."
Xiao Er scratched the back of his head, thinking that the dog was raised by the famous Qing sister in the Spring Garden, and this son didn't go to find Qing Jie'er but wanted to find the dog......
That's a!
He shook his head, this son of a rich and noble family, likes to be really different!
Four of the five walked into the Joy Inn, and the other went in with his back on his back!
Her name is Xiaoqin.
The boy who carried her was of course Xiaojian!
Xiao Wu and the three of them left Kyoto for a trip to Zhouzhuang, and Xiao Jian resolutely came with Xiaoqin on his back.
Xiao Jian's injuries have healed, and Xiao Wu is the current emperor and his benefactor who saves the people.
Now that the emperor wants to pay a private visit, he has a desperate ability, and he should accompany him to protect the emperor's safety.
It's just that Xiao Wu forbade him to be called the emperor.
ordered him to still call Xiao Wu.
Because they are brothers!
Little Sword now has four brothers!
There is also a man named Li Chen'an, but it's a pity...... He was buried on the top of the West Mountain!
After the trip is over, he should go to Shuzhou and burn some paper for him at the top of the West Mountain.
Just as Xiao Jian was thinking about this, the old shopkeeper who was napping behind the counter suddenly stood up, and there was a smile in every fold on that old face:
"What do you want to eat?"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan flicked his sleeves: "Get more delicious food in your inn!" Picture screen spring, is there one? Be really! ”
"You're going to give me a fake, beware of the young master, I smashed this shop in your house!"
The old shopkeeper walked over, leaning over and still smiling: "The guest officers are blessed, and there happened to be some mountain goods sent by an Orion this afternoon." As for the painting screen spring, there were originally merchants who got a little bit to sell it, but now it'......"
"Except for those military masters, there are very few people from outside in this Jade Pill City, let alone the merchants, this is really gone, even if there is more silver, it can't be bought."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan waved his hand with some regret: "Then see how you get those mountain goods and send them to me...... Shopkeeper, your store is so empty and losing money every day, why don't you just close it and change places? ”
"This Yuelai Inn is available in major cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but even if it is opened in a smaller county, the business is definitely better than here."
"Even if it's going to Lingdong Road...... Now that Lingdong Road is gradually improving, it is estimated that it will gradually become prosperous in two or three years, and it is better to go to occupy a better shop earlier than to wait for death here. ”
The old shopkeeper grinned and said, "Little brother, don't worry." ”
"There's no end to this, I guess I can find out before I do."
"Of course, it is best for our Ning Kingdom to take back the Boundless Pass, if we can't get it back...... Even if the Red Flame Army retreated to the Yudan River, as long as there was no thought of fighting between the two countries, those merchants would come and go again. ”
Saying this, the old shopkeeper yelled at the backyard: "Chef Xu, pack up those mountain goods and make a few good dishes, the guests want it!" ”
He turned around and walked towards the counter, and said as he walked: "The profits here are huge, and if you run a trip, I'm afraid you will have to break your leg in China to earn it back!" ”
"The businessmen who take this line are all rich masters, our inn is their first choice to rest, although they lose some now, they can earn it back sooner or later."
He came to the counter, suddenly turned around, glanced at Wang Zhenghaoxuan and the others, and whispered: "Little Lao'er heard about it...... Our regent didn't die, but he also disguised himself as Li Xiaofeng, and took the third lady from Zhongli Mansion into the Forgetfulness Stage......"
Xiao Wu and the others all stood up the moment they heard this sentence and looked up at the old shopkeeper.
Amu frowned, "Boss, this news is credible?" ”
The old shopkeeper nodded: "Although no one can pass the Boundless Pass now, Boundless Mountain can't stop those masters in the rivers and lakes!" ”
"Last night, a few masters of the rivers and lakes came to the inn, and when they were drinking, they were talking about the things after the regent went to Wu Kingdom!"
"It must be true!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the gate:
"It's true!"
A burly man dressed in dust walked into the Yuelai Inn.
He said those three words and walked straight to Wang Zhenghaoxuan's table.
He is the Imperial City Si Ti Lord, Wang Zheng Admiralty!
"Daddy......?!"
"Pour me a cup of tea!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong arched his hand at Xiao Wu, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The emperor ...... Hello Wu Gongzi! ”
Xiao Wu's clean eyes looked at Wang Zhengjinzhong extremely nervously at the moment, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Wang Zhengjinzhong nodded and lowered his voice again: "I just got the news sent by the spy of the Imperial City Division in Wu State, the regent...... On August 18, I went to the Sword Washing Building, and on August 19, I entered the Forgetting Table! ”
Xiao Wu was happy first, because Li Chenan was alive!
This proved his guess right!
But in an instant, he was worried again, because he also knew the story of the forbidden place in the Forgetful Table.
He stretched out his hand and sat down.
He had a lot to ask Wang Zhengjinzhong, but he couldn't say anything.
But no matter what, Li Chenan is at least alive.
His eyes lit up again, and suddenly he had a new purpose.
He decided to go wash the sword building!
Go find Li Chen'an!
