Huyang City is a large city in the northernmost part of Rongzhou, the moat is wide and wide, the city wall is strong and wide, strong and heavy, giving people a sense of majesty.

Decades ago, the famous Beirong Army First Army was established here, expanding its territory to the east and west, making great contributions to the unification of the dynasty and being recited by the world.

Of course, in that era of heroes at the end of the troubled times, there was never a shortage of heroic stories to sing and cry about.

"Lord, we have arrived in Huyang. ”

In front of the city gate, an ordinary civilian carriage stopped in the field next to the road.

The coachman, who had the whip in his hand, made a soft call, jumped off his horse, took the reins of his horse, and walked on foot in the direction of the city gate.

The people in the car lifted the front curtain and glanced at the city gate in front of them, and the look of familiarity and nostalgia in their eyes flashed.

Huyang ......

He Yi still remembered many old things about Huyang City, but unfortunately after ten years, everything has changed.

"Xiao Shao, after entering the city, don't call me the lord, just call me sir. Remember, we are only here to visit friends. ”

"Yes, my lord. Jia Shao said with his fists clenched.

"Just call sir. ”

"Got it, lord. ”

“......”

In Huyang City, it is still a prosperous area, there are all kinds of vendors on both sides of the street, the sound of selling is continuous, the inn restaurant is almost full, it seems to be a peaceful and prosperous world.

But even if the guests were full, the shopkeeper didn't see a smile, and the past business trips were full of sadness, and they didn't know what the reason was.

"I remember that in this Huyang City, there is a Zhou surnamed Shangjia, who started from scratch and has been working hard for more than ten years, and he has already had the scale of a family, and I don't know if he is still in Huyang City. He Yixin said.

He came to Huyang City this time, firstly to check the news in the city, and secondly, to visit the old man surnamed Zhou in order to ask for funding.

The ordnance of Pingyuan County was burned, and a large amount of silver was needed to rebuild the armor.

In addition, if Gongliangju can successfully persuade Li Rongzhai to vote, it will add another 3,000 mouths for nothing.

He believed in Gongliangju's abilities and prestige in the plains, and it was only a matter of time before this could be done.

At that time, it will be a bit stretched to feed so many people and horses at once with only the grain and grass reserves of this small county in the plain.

Anyway, the current situation is that there is a shortage of ————, food, and money...... Nothing is missing!

Even, He Yi regretted burning the grain cave in Lirong Village.

...... ......

"The shopkeeper, open an upper room with my husband, and then ask Xiao Er to get some vegetarian wine and food. He Yi and Jia Shao walked into an inn, and Jia Shao trotted over to call the shopkeeper and prepare food and drinks for them.

After several hours of continuous travel, both of them were already a little tired, so they wanted to go to the inn to ask for a house first, so that they could tidy up and fill their stomachs.

The shopkeeper looked Jia Shao up and down, and then looked at He Yi, who was sitting at the table next to him, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, leisurely drinking tea, shook his head and said: "Two guest officers, I'm sorry, the shop is no longer in the room, you might as well change to another room." ”

Jia Shao was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't doubt him, so he said, "Then let's just come to two guest rooms!"

They were born in the military camp and are used to sleeping in the open, so they are not picky people.

Although the rooms are not as comfortable as the upper rooms, it makes no difference to them.

The shopkeeper shook his head again and replied, "The guest room is gone, and we only have a miscellaneous room in our store now, fifteen yuan a day." Do you want to stay?"

"Miscellaneous room?" When Jia Shao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "Your store, if you don't have a room or guest room, then give us a partial room, so let people go to the miscellaneous room to live like this, are you afraid that we won't be able to pay for the room?"

The so-called miscellaneous room is a room for some idle people to live together. The door is open, allowing people to enter and exit at will, without the slightest sense of concealment, and there are only two large wooden beds in a room that horizontally connect the walls on both sides, each bed has four to six positions, which is extremely inconvenient to rest, and it is easier to carry parcels and other items with you.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only those who work in the store, or who are more familiar with each other, will live in the miscellaneous room.

The shopkeeper's face was full of sadness, and he replied: "Guest officer, the small shop really only has a miscellaneous room for two people to live in now, if you feel inconvenient, you two can go to another house to see." ”

“......”

I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would directly issue an eviction order, Jia Shao was a little speechless, it seems that there is really no spare room in this inn.

"In that case, let's go and have a look elsewhere. He Yi got up and said, and then put the tea money of two copper plates on the table.

The two of them walked out of this inn and asked three or four more in a row, but surprisingly, these inns were all full, which made He Yi very embarrassed.

It's not that the miscellaneous house can't be inhabited, but they really need a private space as a place to live on this trip.

After all, some things will involve He Yi's next actions, and once they are leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Shopkeeper, we want three upper rooms, and we want the best Tianzi!" As he left an inn, several young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes happened to walk in from the outside and said loudly to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at a few people, and suddenly squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, wait a minute, the guest officer will wait a minute, this will give you a few arrangements, please ...... on the second floor."

Outside the door, He Yi, who had just walked out of the inn, stopped and frowned slightly.

When they asked, the shopkeeper also said that the store was full, but it could be replaced by someone else, why was there a vacant room?

And you can take out three upper rooms at once......

He Yi could still restrain his emotions, but Jia Shao behind him couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Isn't this a clear display of looking down on people?"

When the shopkeeper came down from upstairs, Jia Shao pointed to the shopkeeper's nose and asked: "I said you, why are we here to ask if it is full, and they will have a room as soon as they come? If you don't give me an explanation today, you have to demolish your inn!"

After saying that, Jia Shao pulled out the sword he was wearing, shook it clearly, and walked towards the shopkeeper.

He Yi watched from the sidelines and did not step forward to stop him, he also wanted to know what the reason was.

If he is really looking down at people, let Jia Shao teach him some lessons, and it is not a big deal.

"Oh, I said two, you can leave quickly!" The shopkeeper saw Jia Shao coming violently, but he was not very afraid, as if he was used to seeing a sword, and waved his hand out in annoyance.

Immediately afterwards, he said in a slightly complaining tone: "I am here to do business, to make money, do you think I don't want you to live? I don't dare! But there is no way, this Huyang City has already issued an order, all the upper rooms in the inn must be vacated, used to accommodate the Xianmen and the family who came to Huyang during this time, I also acted according to the order, there is no way. If you want to blame, blame that Huyang Taishou......"

After that, the shopkeeper leaned on the table, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and no longer paid attention to He Yi and Jia Shao.

“......”

Immortal Gate and Family?

He Yi thought about it carefully, although the men and women who came over before, although they were gorgeously dressed, the clothes on their bodies were indeed of a uniform color and style, and they seemed to have the same mark embroidered on their chests, which should have come from one place.

"How did you forget about this? He Yi patted his head suddenly.

The Treasure Competition Conference is about to be held, and as this Huyang City is the closest city to the Qi Cultivation Sect, it is natural that a large number of monks will come to settle here in advance. Otherwise, so many people will directly pour into the Qi Cultivation Sect, and I am afraid it will also bring a lot of trouble.

"Forget it, Xiao Shao, let's find another way. ”

Since the shopkeeper didn't mean to make things difficult, He Yi didn't bother more, and ordered Jia Shao to put away his weapon.

"Sir, what should we do then? Could it be that we really want to live in a miscellaneous room?" After walking out of the inn, Jia Shao said helplessly.

He doesn't care about himself, as long as he has a place where he can make do with it, I'm afraid that He Yi will find it inconvenient.

He Yi thought about it and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a deep voice beside him.

"You two, you're from out of town, can you take a step to speak?"

He Yi and Jia Shao looked at it when they heard the sound, but they were a strong man about thirty years old, with a strong figure, a burly body, and a silly appearance, but a pair of eyes were very bright, giving people a very shrewd feeling.
