Chapter Thirty-Eight: Return to Hengzong Town
Moqiong Inn was created by a wealthy merchant in the west of the city, with a strong background and a wide network of people, the man was eager to hide under the covers, his heart had collapsed, how to kick this iron plate, poured eight lifetimes of blood mold, and offended this Buddha for no reason. Seeing Shen Shi walking towards him, the man instantly took a few steps back as if he was in a bag, looked panicked, and said hello in a low voice.
Shen Shi quickly grabbed the man's collar with his hand, and said in a drunken tone: "Ouch, you are very familiar, isn't it the seven-day green of Mapi Mountain!"
"I, I'm not, Shopkeeper Shen, you've drunk too much!" the man hurriedly shook his head in denial.
Shen Shi was furious, grabbed the man's collar, and shouted loudly, "You fart! Mapishan is the only one you call Qitian Green! Little rotten, I want to deceive you Brother Shen, it's impossible!"
"I'm really not, Shopkeeper Shen, you really drank too much. The man was so frightened that he had to raise his hands high, so that Shen Shi could not be angry, and communicate well if he had something to do, it was completely useless to ask for help from everyone, and he was eating and watching the show at all.
Shen Shi let go of his hand, pushed the man away hard, turned around and said, "Bad luck! Then you must be from Ma Pishan! Don't think about lying to you Brother Shen again!"
The steward looked at the man's innocent face, nodded and asked him to cooperate with Shen Shi, and get drunk and go crazy to forgive.
"Yes, I'm from Mapishan!" the man nodded vigorously.
Shen Shi turned to look at the man again, his face suddenly became serious, "Then who are you in the mountains, is it that two days yellow!"
"Yes, yes, I'm the yellow of three days!" The man nodded in a hurry, and suddenly, a snap sounded, Shen Shi slapped him, and the man looked confused and at a loss.
Shen Shi instantly became angry, and said sharply, "Two days Huang, you still dare to fucking come out, you owe you Brother Shen money, and you don't plan to pay it back?!"
As soon as the words fell, the man was stunned, and the steward signaled to the man again, and it would be fine if he returned the money.
The man nodded and said, "Repay, definitely repay, how much is owed." β
Shen Shi said angrily, "How much money do you owe to your brother, you don't know!"
"............" The man was speechless, his face dazed.
Shen Shi circled around the man, looked up and down, raised his head and said, "What do you mean by not speaking, two days Huang, the sixty-three golden tickets borrowed in my brother's hands were forgotten like this!"
"Yes, yes, I have it. The man hurriedly took out the cloth bag containing the money, and gave it all without counting it.
The angry expression gradually disappeared, Shen Shi's attitude changed greatly, and he smiled kindly, "Two days Huang, as soon as the money is in hand, why are you two friends, let's eat together, wait a minute, Brother Shen will take you to Qinghua Building!"
"No, no, I'll go back to the room to rest, and the shopkeeper Shen will eat slowly. The man hurriedly said goodbye and left the land of right and wrong.
Shen Shi waved goodbye, "Brother Huang, go slowly, my brother won't send it!"
The room was finally clean, and Hu Xi praised Shen Shi for his talent, and turned the man's deception, and blamed the man for being rude and too arrogant, and instinctively solved it with peace as the precious, so he had to break the soil and hit the big stones, and finally scattered all over the place.
At sunrise the next day, the sun rises in the east and slowly hangs in the sky, shining with a warm golden light, without any dead ends, illuminating the entire thousand traces, people begin to work, looking at the earth covered by the sun, and the expression of joy remains in their hearts.
In the completely different 05 chambers, the messy tabletop, the dishes and chopsticks are rampant, the hexagram cakes that are not left are scum, there are still leftover bones on the ground, and the stools are also crooked, which seems to be casual. The silver black fox on the bed gradually woke up, stretched his waist and looked at Gu Qianxu, suddenly sleepy, not disturbed by the chaotic scene in front of him, the innermost corner of the room, bursts of loud snoring, speaking on the clean wooden floor, dreaming in his heart, he had already fallen asleep.
A rooster crowed, the neighbors were woken up from their sleep, Hu Xi stretched his waist and pushed open the door, yawning one after another, the beautiful scenery of Pingjing City was in full view, and the lazy pace dragged the soft body, next to the house to wake up everyone.
"Little Qianzi, get up quickly, the sun is setting!" Hu Xi came to the zero five chamber and knocked on the door and shouted.
Yan Zhang woke up from his sleep, didn't know why he slept on the ground for a night, and replied in a daze, "It's coming, it'll be fine for a while." β
The silver black fox licked Gu Qianxu's face, trying to wake him up, he slept too deeply, it was useless, the silver black fox was jumping around on the bed, Gu Qianxu didn't wake up, and woke him up.
glanced at it abruptly, and said listlessly: "Ling Xing, what's wrong with you." β
The silver black fox made a series of movements, and his paws were up and down, trying to wake up Gu Qianxu suddenly.
"What, don't make a fuss, I'm just going to get some sleep. I didn't have the heart to guess slowly, so I lay down on my stomach and continued to fall asleep.
Hu Xi waited for a long time and a half day, but still no one came to open the door, and the old man He limped out, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too sleepy, let them sleep a little longer." β
Hu Xi yawned, rubbed his hands and said, "It's time to have breakfast, eat well and hurry back." β
"I almost forgot, it's a big deal to go home, wake them up. "Old man He just remembered that he had to go back to the town today and report his safety.
"I'll come. Letu stretched out his arms and knocked on the door lazily.
"Who's making trouble, can you be quieter!" roared impatiently in the next room.
"I'm sorry, there won't be a next time. The groom quickly apologized in a low voice.
Gently knocking like a girl, I couldn't hear the sound at all, and I slept lifelessly with Gu Qianxu, there was no movement in the room, and the four of them stood outside helplessly.
Yan Zhang pushed open the door, scratched his hair lightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" β
Seeing Yan Zhang's sloppy black hair, Le Tu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you kid in the zero five chambers." β
Yan Zhang said in a trance: "What, I thought they ran to my room." β
"You're sleepy, wake up the two of you, pack your bags, and get ready to leave for Hengzong Town. At the mention of going home, Old Man He was full of energy, and his tired face had already been put aside.
Hu Xi and the others walked into the room, the table was disorganized, the ground was in a mess, the silver and black fox leaned quietly on Gu Qianxu, obedient and obedient and waited for him to wake up, and the stunned people on the side were about to fall out of bed, and the sleeping posture of ecstasy was embarrassing.
Hu Xi sat on the stool and shouted: "Get up, it's dark, the sun has set, and the moon has come out." β
The shouting and shouting continued, roaring with relish, and the words echoed, singing and harmonizing with Huxi, just like the street stalls selling goods, the lively zero five chambers, the laughter inside continued. Suddenly, Gu Qian sat up directly, squinting and looking around, a group of people gathered in front of the bed, smiling a little treacherous. Suddenly, Yan Zhang roared, frightened and panicked, but fortunately Le Tu caught it, otherwise he would have fallen out of bed. Gu Qianxu was also frightened, slapping his face to refresh himself, his hazy sleepiness did not decrease at all, and he yawned continuously.
Dragging the tired body, to the second-floor restaurant for breakfast, every step is difficult and difficult, weak walking, fluttering like a fairy. The steward was in good spirits, and as soon as he woke up in the morning, he instructed the men to arrange breakfast for the people, so that the nobles could hurry an hour earlier.
The rice porridge is in the stomach, the stomach is fed, the leisure time to eat and drink, say goodbye to the steward, say a few thanks, and wait for the fate to reunite. I returned to the wing room to pack my luggage, packed large bags of clothes, and threw one in my hand and threw it into the carriage easily. Shen Shi's clothes were not sorted out, he cleaned up a few times, hurriedly went downstairs to say goodbye, and as soon as he opened his mouth to ask a question, he was rejected with a smile, and then handed Shen Shi a note, saying that he would look at it when they left, and keep it a secret.
Drivingββ
The route says, go to the Tengyuan Gate of the side gate in the east of the city, go around the mountain along the path, and you can settle down and rest when you go out of the Xuanwei Forest. The carriage drove slowly on the street, gradually leaving the Moqiong Inn, disappeared without a trace, and was no longer in Shen Shi's eyes, the note in his hand was already crumpled, stretched, and there was a line of words written. Shen Shi looked at the note, and there were some clues in his heart, the third son of the Bai family gave the distinguished guest token, and the head of the Bai family greeted him personally, no wonder he couldn't find out their whereabouts and life experience with all his efforts, and as far as the eye could see, the thirteen clans could hide effortlessly, covering the sky and the sun with their bare hands, without missing the slightest flaw.
According to the map, there was no strange thing to happen in the carriage according to the map, and the general Yang was in Ledu to talk about things, delayed the trip for a day, and set off immediately the next day, coming out of Pingjing City, it has been three days, it is said that Zhang used a stick of incense to guess, and within half an hour, you can get to Hengzong Town.
"Believe me, it's absolutely reliable, there's nothing wrong with it. Yan Zhang patted his chest with confidence.
Old man He lifted the curtain, pointed to the distance and smiled, "Don't believe you, the hour has been shortened, and the town is faintly visible." β
Yan Zhang poked his head out and looked, he could probably see Heng Zongzhen, and sat slowly thinking, "No, I think it's too fast." β
Old man He smiled and said: "You, you, all say that a clear and clear person is a gentleman, and the person who is as thick as a wall is none other than you." β
"Hey, it's none of my business, don't try to pull me up. As soon as Hu Xi heard it, he knew that he hurriedly shook his hand and cleared it up, saying that Yan Zhang was too thick-skinned.
Yan Zhang was confused, tried his best to think about it, but couldn't get the result, and said suspiciously, "What does it mean, explain it clearly." β
Old man He smiled, let Yan Zhang understand by himself, and understood the meaning, that is, a big breakthrough, worthy of a banquet and praise, both civil and military. Believe it without doubt, and let Old Man He repeat what he said before, and ensure that he can prove himself.
Listening to it over and over again, Yan Zhang didn't know anything, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said confidently: "Old He, I know, you mean that the gentleman looks upright, and he will hide it in the field, so you can't see through him, and you praise me as thick as a wall, which means that I am strong!"
He smiled and said, "This ...... Forcibly turn the situation around!"
"Talented! This explanation is completely reasonable!" Hu Xi laughed heartily when he heard this.
Old man He's expression was complicated, he couldn't say it clearly, and he couldn't refute it clearly, which caused the whole carriage to laugh, and he boasted that he had a chance, which stumped the famous old man He.
