Chapter 25 West into Tongguan

Lou Yun yawned in the back and lined up, the people were bustling, the people who wanted to enter the customs were holding road citations in their hands, and not far from them was their convoy of goods, they were all merchants who went west to Chang'an, the officers and soldiers checked the luggage of the merchants and the goods on the car, and after confirming that there was no problem, they were released. There are also many illegal items hidden under the goods, such as illegal salt, weapons, pig iron, and gunpowder. But the merchants could get away with the money in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and the people were indifferent to it, and these things might be common to them. Lou Yun naturally didn't say anything. Just silently lined up.

This long queue lasted for a long time, and it took a long time before it was Lou Yun's turn, Lou Yun handed the text and the road to the official messenger, but the official messenger did not open it, the official messenger looked at Lou Yun and said, "You can't enter the customs." ”

Lou Yun asked, "Why?"

The official snorted and said, "Your path is not clearly written, so you can't cross it." ”

Lou Yun said: "Official, my guide is the seal of the county lord himself, why can't it?"

The official threw Wen Mulu back to him and said, "If I say no, I can't, a small county magistrate and a small officer of the seventh grade, can he be bigger than our chief soldier? After speaking, the soldiers next to him were about to drive Lou Yun away. Lou Yun opened Lu Yin and looked at it, he had been drenched in the rain before, Lu Yin was a little wet, and the red seal on the seal was missing a corner, but it could still be clearly seen that it was signed by the county government. There are no other problems either. But the officers and soldiers wanted to drive Lou Yun away.

At this time, a businessman-like person behind him said, "Wait, official, I'll say a few words to this little brother." ”

The middle-aged businessman pulled Lou Yun to the side and said, "Little brother, it's the first time you've gone far away." ”

Lou Yun nodded.

The middle-aged businessman said: "It's no wonder, this Tongguan is no better than other places, there is only this way to go to Guanzhong, see that you are dressed well, and the messenger will naturally embarrass you and ask you for a few dollars." They have no grievances with you in the past, and they have no enmity in the near future. Naturally, it won't really embarrass you, and if you give them some benefits, it's over. However, this money cannot be given explicitly, you can just put a few taels of silver in the paperwork. ”

Lou Yun thanked: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice." ”

Lou Yun took out ten taels of silver from his money bag and blocked it with a road guide. This time, he didn't line up and walked directly to the front of the pass, and the people behind him were naturally reluctant and talked about it. But the official who guarded the gate didn't say anything, as if he was just waiting for him to come.

Lou Yun handed the document to the official's desk again and said, "Official, my document has been soaked in water, so please take a closer look." The official pretended to open the road and take a look, and he naturally knew that there was silver in it. But it still has to be pretended, the official glanced at the silver on the table, quietly put away the silver and said: "Your seal is wet with water and blurry, remember to keep it in the future." This official will build you another one, otherwise you will have to go back to your hometown and reapply for it. After speaking, the official picked up the seal on the table and stamped it on Lou Yun's road guide. After that, he returned the road guide to Lou Yun, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to let him go.

Lou Yun walked towards the customs with interest. Lou Yun saw the caravan at a glance, and the merchant who had just helped him.

Lou Yun rushed forward and called, "Sir, stay here." ”

The merchant turned around and saw that it was the young man just now, and stopped. Lou Yun stepped forward and said, "Thank you Mr. for your advice, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come over." ”

The merchant said with a smile: "Looking at the little brother's bearing, he should be a martial arts practitioner, and this pass should be difficult for you." ”

Lou Yun saw the businessman at a glance and saw his own details, and became a little guarded.

The merchant naturally saw Lou Yun's thoughts at a glance, and the merchant said with a smile: "Little brother, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I can see that it's just that I've been traveling south and north for many years, and I've seen more people." It's just a gesture, and the little brother doesn't have to mind. We're on our way, and we'll see you later. With that, the merchant commanded the caravan to set off again.

Lou Yun naturally didn't say anything more. Lou Yun yawned and went to find the inn, this Tongguan is the only way to enter the Guanzhong, there will be a wine shop, a tea house, an inn. Lou Yun soon found an inn.

Lou Yun walked into the inn and said, "Is there still a guest room for the shopkeeper?"

The innkeeper said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, yes, I wonder how many guests you have?"

Lou Yun said: "It's just me. ”

The shopkeeper said: "One person, I'm sorry for the guest officer, the guest room in the small room is full, and only the big room is left, but the big room is a little expensive, I don't know ...... you, the guest officer."

Lou Yun yawned again and said, "It's okay, I just want to have a good rest now." ”

The innkeeper said happily: "Okay! Although the shopkeeper spoke, he did not take a step away, and his hand reached out. Lou Yun knew what it meant, and Lou Yun handed him the silver. After the shopkeeper wrote a few notes on the account, he walked out of the counter with a smile. took the key and respectfully took Lou Yun upstairs.

Lou Yun followed him up, and when he came to the room, Lou Yun put down his luggage and fell asleep. He was so sleepy that he hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night last night. Lou Yun seems to be strong. But the internal strength he consumes is no less than that of the girl in purple, if it weren't for the fact that he has been tempering his body in the hot spring water of the Ghost Valley for the past year, relaxing his muscles and invigorating his blood, otherwise he would be like the girl in purple, with limb paralysis. Lou Yun felt a slight headache, he thought that maybe he hadn't slept all night because he was like this, he didn't care, and soon fell asleep.

At this time, the girl in purple and her party also came to this inn, and Lu Rong said, "The shopkeeper will get us some food." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the girls and said, "Okay, girls, please order." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the menu hanging on the wall. Lu Rong ordered a few dishes at random. The shopkeeper ordered the cook to prepare.

The girl in purple and her group found a clean table and sat down. The shopkeeper made a pot of tea for them. The shopkeeper left to greet the other guests.

Lu Ying poured a cup of tea for the sisters one by one and said, "It's really not easy, after this Tongguan, you will arrive in Chang'an City." When the senior sister of Chang'an City comes home, we might as well take a bath and relax, anyway, the deadline given by the master is more than a month, and we can rush back to Mount Emei on time. ”

Lu Rong said: "This is very good, these days are in a hurry, the bones are almost tired, and it is not bad to relax." It's really the master who wants us to go to Luoyang Zhongzhou League, but I really want to go to Hangzhou Tianying Club. In this way, I can also go to the West Lake to see, I want to see what the famous Tianyu Gongzi looks like. I think he must be handsome. ”

Lu Ying struck: "Come on, I heard that Tianyu Gongzi has been wearing a mask since he set foot in the rivers and lakes, and no one has ever seen his true face, I guess he is an ugly monster, so he only covers his face all day." ”
