Light porridge and pickles, and hunger.

It's a beautiful thing to do.

"When are you leaving?"

A bowl of porridge was drunk, and half of the pickles on the small plate on one side were left.

This is the eighth floor, which is of course very high, and the sunlight shines through the windows on the tabletop, and there are many kinds of aromas wafting in from the street.

Li Xian asked out loud.

Taking the towel handed over by Xu Yingxiu, Li Xiu wiped his mouth casually, then glanced out the window, counted the hours and said, "I'll leave at noon." ”

Murong Yingjie's invitation stated that on October 22, Li Xiu would be invited to Gusu City for a talk.

From Chang'an Daogu Sucheng, if you ride a horse, it will take 20 days.

Today is September 29.

There is not a lot of time, and it can even be said that it is a little tight.

Especially if Li Xiu has to go to Guanshan, he will be even more nervous.

Li Xian nodded, didn't say much, sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, he didn't sleep all night last night, although he wasn't sleepy, he was not used to it.

After eating, he made another cup of tea, and he didn't care about the prince, and after drinking two cups of himself, Li Xiu got up and jumped down from the stairs, and after a few pauses, he fell to the ground.

Xu Yingxiu naturally followed.

The disciple standing at the door retreated silently.

Li Xianyi walked to the window and stood down, looking at Li Xiu's figure on the long street, his eyes were a little complicated.

Ying Zi'an pushed the door and walked in, his eyes poking in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is in danger of this trip, do you want to let the right guard accompany him to protect him?"

Li Xianyi shook his head, the crown prince couldn't leave Kyoto.

What's more, with the danger of this trip, even if you send an army to go, it is just to send you to death, and it is useless.

"He is going to Guanshan, it is still unknown whether he can succeed!"

His voice was a little embarrassed, Ying Zi'an stood on the side and frowned, a little incomprehensible why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this?

Watching Li Xiu go farther and farther, Li Xianyi's face became more and more heavy, and the success of this trip to Guanshan was related to Li Xiu's net worth.

There is no room for error.

......

Guanshan, also called Langcheng, can be reached by walking more than 2,000 miles north from Chang'an.

Li Xiu had been with Drunken Chunfeng once before, but this time he was with Xu Yingxiu.

The journey of more than 2,000 miles is not too far, just like before

I set out in the afternoon, and I arrived near evening.

From a distance, the quaint blue city gate is wide open, and there are two words of Langcheng hanging on it, and the pen walks the dragon and snake, and it falls generously.

It should be a newly hung plaque, which was not what Li Xiu saw when he came last time.

There were six sergeants standing at the gate, tall and sharp-eyed, and none of them dared to make trouble at the gate of the city.

Since the last time the tiger devoured the wolf was successful, Baiyin Mountain closed the door and fell.

The two major families in Langcheng, the Qin family and the Jing family, also suffered countless casualties and completely declined, and now Guanshan has been completely taken over by the people of the imperial court, and it is governed by iron-blooded means from top to bottom.

After all, what the people of Guanshan did at the beginning were too bad, and it can be said that they were shamed by countless Tang people.

Walking into the city, Li Xiu didn't rush to do anything, but led the horse to wander around, and then stayed for a long time in the place where the upside-down sky appeared, the cracks on the ground still existed, so it was easy for the power of heaven and earth to appear and want to restore it to normal, but it was difficult to do.

Many people have long been accustomed to this appearance, and they are not surprised to see Li Xiu and the two of them standing still, since the appearance of the inverted hanging sky, people from other places have come here to watch the ruins almost every day, which is already a normal thing.

"Let's go!"

Standing in place and silent for a long time, Li Xiu led the horse and walked towards the original road.

The best inn in Langcheng is undoubtedly the Guanshan Inn, where nine out of ten dignitaries will live.

Li Xiu didn't, and walked slowly along the street, and his footsteps finally stopped in front of the Shangru Inn.

Tethering the big black horse to one side, Li Xiu was silent at the door for a moment before stepping in.

It was not only Kyoto that rained last night, but the heavy rain in Langcheng was also not small, the road was quite watery, and the location of the Shangru Inn was not a good place, so there was not a single guest in the inn at this time.

"You may be seated, officer. ”

As soon as he entered, the runner immediately greeted him, and led Li Xiu to sit in a good position with a smile on his face, and stood aside with a flattering face.

"I kept two upper rooms, are they still there today?"

Li Xiu asked, with an inexplicable meaning in his voice.

The person who ran the hall was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Childe, I kept it, and the room that Childe wanted was naturally kept, and I haven't let others in to live since that day." ”

"How much money is left?"

Li Xiu left a thousand taels that day, and now it has passed

More than half a year.

The smile on Ran Tang's face froze, and he coughed a little embarrassedly and then raised his head and shouted at the counter: "Xiucai, do you quickly calculate how much silver taels are left of this son?"

Behind the counter, Xiucai crackled and pulled the abacus, and after a while, he looked up and replied: "There are four hundred and thirty-six taels left, excluding the storage fee, cleaning fee and guarantee fee, there are three hundred and ninety-seven taels left." ”

Three hundred and ninety-seven taels?

Li Xiu smiled lightly, he naturally didn't care about how much silver was left.

Xu Yingxiu took a few steps back and closed the door.

Without the sunshine, the inside of the inn suddenly darkened.

A woman in an apron pushed open the curtain from the backyard and walked in, shouting as she walked: "What's the matter, closing the store door in broad daylight?

The woman was still carrying a broom in her hand, her hands looked a little wet, and she was washing clothes in the backyard just now.

A wry smile suddenly appeared on the face of the running hall: "It has nothing to do with me!"

"And said that it has nothing to do with you? The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, you came out to give a review, and Lao Bai actually closed the door of the store in broad daylight. ”

The sound of this sentence was loud and spread far away.

I heard the sound of the door opening and closing on the second floor, followed by the sound of the stairs clattering down.

Then a woman wearing a red and white plain skirt and holding a round fan walked out with a frown.

"Forehead drop god!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman looked up and saw Li Xiu and Xu Yingxiu, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she hurriedly greeted: "What do you want to eat, two guest officers?"

Without waiting for Li Xiu to reply, he shouted twice towards the backyard: "Big mouth, big mouth come out quickly, there is a distinguished guest arriving." ”

As soon as these words came out, a fat man with a big waist and a round waist came out of the back kitchen, holding a spatula in his hand.

"What's the matter, I'm busy!"

The female shopkeeper, the sour Xiucai, the cook, the running hall, and a miscellaneous worker.

The five of them showed up at the same time and gathered together, complaining to each other.

Xu Yingxiu's pupils shrank a little, and her breathing was slightly shorter.

Li Xiu watched this scene quietly.

A moment later, he took out a million taels of silver tickets from his bosom and put them on the table.

"I'll pay a million taels to buy my own life. ”

The noise quieted down, and the five of them turned to look at Li Xiu in unison.

The inn was dark.
