It was almost noon, there were fewer and fewer people on the road, the carriage kept going east, and the group was not familiar with the place in Xiangyang City, and there was no other way to get out of the city at this moment, so they could only gamble.

Zhong Sheng poked his head out and kept looking, and took some silver taels to the iron furnace: "You don't have a blade, let the lotus leaf tie your hair for you, and then go out to buy a body, pretend to be a son, go to the 'Yangcheng Inn' in front of you to stay, and find out if there is a way to get out of the city, remember to be natural when asking, let's go and see who left this drum!"

"Why don't you go with us, can there be an extra person to help with anything?" asked Iron Furnace, puzzled.

Yang Ye whispered: "If it is a trap, none of us can escape, and we don't even have ...... backup." He knew that Zhong Sheng wanted to leave some leeway, and in case of accidents, he could also leave someone to send a message for help.

Zhong Sheng handed a piece of jade to the iron furnace: "If we don't come back before dark, you can find a way to get out of the city and go to the 'Xiangxi Teahouse' in Muyu Town to find a deaf storyteller and give this to him......!"

The iron furnace asked, "Who is the eagle?"

"A little ghost who is a little younger than you will definitely meet in the future, at this time find a way to get out of the city first......" Zhong Sheng patted Tie Furnace on the shoulder, in fact, Zhong Sheng was less than nineteen years old, no more than two years older than Tie Lu.

Zhong Sheng gave up his position, ready to let the iron furnace come in to change his makeup, who knew that Lotus Ye said: "He washed his dirty face, and then combed his hair, and estimated that he couldn't even recognize himself, and he was ......sloppy all day long."

"Okay, take care!" the iron furnace scratched his head in embarrassment, and naturally slipped out of the carriage, went to buy clothes first, and then walked slowly to the inn.

"Is the guest staying in the hotel? The city gate has been closed today, and there is only one upper room left!" the innkeeper said politely as he looked at the iron stove.

The iron furnace asked, "How many silver taels do you live in?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "I won't tell you, this room is two taels of silver on weekdays, and three taels today, what do you see?"

The iron furnace took out the silver and put it on the counter and said, "Alas, what are you doing to close the city gate well, and you have to spend more money to live in the hotel, it's really sad......"

The shopkeeper was so happy that he took the silver taels, and thought to himself that it would be nice if the city gate was closed every day! This is an ordinary guest room, what kind of room is it! On weekdays, three taels of silver can live for ten days and a half months.

The iron furnace knew that he was slaughtered, but he still pretended not to know: "Alas, I can't get out of the city today, and tomorrow I have to sleep on the streets without money......"

The shopkeeper saw that Tie Lu was dressed in new clothes, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey...... Guest officer, you are joking, I have been open for decades, and I have seen a lot of people coming and going, and I have never missed it, and I see that you are the son of a rich family!"

"I can't carry it on my back every day! I didn't live in the Tulip Building for two days, and the money was about to run out, and I was going to go back to get some silver taels, but I didn't think I could get out of the city and pay it back, which was really bad!" When I entered the city gate, I heard the soldiers guarding the city say that the Tulip Building, which was just used to do things at this time.

"Where does Childe live?" the innkeeper handed him a room card.

The iron stove leaned over and whispered, "I came out secretly, if my father knows that he ran to the Tulip Building to drink flower wine, he will have to break my legs,......" After speaking, he made a color to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "Oh...... The little ones shouldn't ask, they shouldn't ask ......"

"Is there a way for the shopkeeper to get out of the city? That's all I have on me, and I will thank you again in the future...... "The iron stove touched a few taels of silver and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper quickly touched the silver two and put them in the drawer, and came over with his ear: "If you want to go out of the city, I will call Childe when I am a child, as for what method I use, Childe should not ask in detail, hehe, hehe......"

The iron stove nodded, took the sign of the guest room and walked into the room, and the shopkeeper shouted in the back: "The food will be delivered to the room later, and the wine will be counted as two silver ......"

The iron stove shook the sign of the guest room with his back to him, but did not answer him.

......

Yang Ye drove the carriage all the way to the east, the east of the city is sparsely populated and desolate, and some of the destroyed houses have not been repaired, but it looks like there should have been a war a few years ago, perhaps the owner of the house died in the war and no one repaired it.

From a distance, I saw a merchant carrying a load of groceries on his shoulders, bending over overwhelmed, shaking the rattle in his hand and shouting as he walked: "Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, rouge gouache, needlework, chopsticks, doll playthings......"

Yang Ye asked, "Do you think there is anything suspicious about that Mr. Merchant?"

Zhong Sheng poked his head out of the carriage and looked closely at the merchant who sold groceries: "Brother Yang, let's go to dinner first, and by the way, ask if we can go out of the city, it is not difficult to keep up with this merchant, he can't walk fast with a heavy burden on his shoulders......"

Lotus Ye hugged her knees and cried: "I don't want to eat, you go and eat......" Master's death, she still can't bear it.

Zhong Sheng comforted: "The old-timers entrusted you to us in the hope that you can live well, didn't you say that you want to avenge him? If you don't eat or drink like this, you will starve to death in three days, how can you take revenge!"

Lotus Ye glared fiercely: "Even if I starve to death and become a ghost, I will kill Zhuo Hongyan!"

Yang Ye sighed in a low voice: "If it is really as you said, how can there be these injustices in the world! If there is chaos today, there are wars everywhere, and countless people have died, how can you not see their ghosts to take revenge!"

Zhong Sheng pulled the lotus leaf out of the carriage, worried that his voice and appearance were not matched, and told the two of them: "I will try to talk as little as possible for a while, and you don't talk to me......"

Lotus Ye gritted her teeth and muttered: "I only eat, I don't speak......"

Yang Ye parked the carriage at the door of a restaurant called 'Niu Baiwei', looked in the direction of the merchant, and could vaguely hear the merchant's shouting, and the proprietress of the store saw the guests coming, politely greeted them into the store, and helped them drive the carriage to the alley next to it and tie it up.
