On this mission to the Huns, I only brought three things: a dragon slaying knife, a holy decree written by Cao Cao himself, and five hundred tigers and leopards led by Xu Chu.

Cao Cao only said two words: "Take care!"

I don't know where he got his confidence, with these three things, he can get back the position of Xiongnu Shan Yu? Hu Chuquan doesn't doubt it, I'm used to it, and I don't think about it so much.

Guo Jia mysteriously stuffed me with a painting, in which it was a fresh and refined woman. I was stunned, Guo Jia said: "Her name is Cai Yan, and her name is Wenji." She was captured by the Huns five years ago, if you have a chance, please help me find her and bring her back. Later, he followed up and said: "She is the hostess of Xudu's 'Dong Xiangchun'." ”

On that day, in Dongxiangchun, the romance of the scholar is still vivid. Although I didn't like Guo Jia, I still nodded and said, "Entrusted by my husband, I will definitely try my best to find her whereabouts here." Guo Jia had tenderness in his eyes and looked into the distance silently.

There, it's the north.

What kind of woman can make such a romantic "ghost" so unforgettable?

He had not been in good health, coughed a few times, covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, but I could clearly see him coughing up blood. "Take care!" I said to Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled, didn't wait for me to leave, and left first.

Hu Chuquan and I said goodbye to Cao Cao and embarked on the road north to the Xiongnu. This road is far longer than I expected, and the northern land is still under Yuan Shao's control, so we have to detour to the border of Liangzhou and then go north out of the Xiongnu. I don't know how much time has passed, but the green robe on my body has been washed five times.

Hu Chuquan said happily: "Brother Duan, look, there is Yanmen Mountain in front." "When I looked up, I only felt that the mountains and rocks here were majestic, towering and majestic, and I didn't know how many thousands of miles they stretched. I think of a travel note written by an old man: "(Yanmen Mountain) is extremely topped and looks at the four peaks, then Fanzhi and Wutai towers to the east, Ningwu Mountains take its west, Zhengyang Shigu supports its south, and Shuozhou Mayi border place is in its north. ”

It is related to the front of Yanmen Mountain, and the name is "Yanmen Pass". Hu Chuquan told me that he remembered that there was an inn in front of him within a radius of fifty miles, and business was not bad.

I was not in a hurry, for the mount, which had not eaten a few good meals with me, had begun to be lazy, his head drooping, his hooves heavy and stagnant, moving slowly and his weak nose beating. I gently clamped the horse's belly, leaned over and touched the dry mane full of fine yellow sand, and chuckled: "Most of the water bladders along the way have gone to your mouth, don't be coquettish with me, walk a few miles further, I have already seen the smoke, maybe the inn is lush with water and plants, good brother, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly when the time comes." ”

Along the way, in order to avoid being eye-catching, Hu Chuquan and I went first, but let Xu Chu's 500 tigers and leopards ride half a day slower. They bring their own dry food and never live in the store, but fortunately, they have long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air.

Hu Chuquan and I rode forward, and our mouths were really burning. But although I can already see the smoke of the cooking, but Wangshan ran a dead horse, I know that this inferior horse that depends on each other has been strong, sighed, turned over and dismounted, took the reins of the horse, let it follow behind me, without the burden of one hundred and forty or fifty pounds, this lazy guy with skin and bones finally relieved his breath, neighed, and immediately stepped on a brisk step.

I looked around, and the sand was all over the ground, and I saw that there was indeed an inn in front of me, and there was a signboard written in cloth on the flagpole: "Dragon Gate Inn". I was taken aback, this inn is actually not small, the skeleton of the courtyard, the main building is afraid of three stories high, and there is a hole in it.

There were a few horses tied to the stakes at the door, most of them shiny, tall and strong, and a few freight wagons, presumably carrying cloth and rouge and other things to be sold outside the customs.

Outside the inn, a guy who seemed to be a shopkeeper was dozing under a tree, and there was a spring well at his feet that emitted clear water. The sun is already dusk, Xiao Er is sleeping sweetly, drooling at the corners of his mouth, and smiling Every man understands.

In this place where birds don't, I don't know if there is any pretty girl who can make him worry.

Hu Chuquan and I looked at each other and smiled, shook the wooden mechanism by ourselves, pulled up a bucket from the bottomless well, took a spoon and drank a few sips of water, and was about to wash the horse's nose for the thin horse, when the shopkeeper immediately woke up, looked at us with slanted eyes, and said: "This water is not drunk for nothing, a spoonful and a tael of silver." ”

Hu Chuquan said: "Last time I came over, it was only three dollars, but you opened a black shop?"

The shopkeeper suddenly lost his temper, and scolded loudly: "If you want to drink water, you don't want to give money? If you want to drink, you can drink, if you don't drink, get out! I can't get used to being poor in my life, what store do you live in without money, what kind of water do you drink? Get out of here! Pay the first two spoonfuls of two taels of silver before you roll! Otherwise, be careful of my master's ridiculous feet, let you cut off your children and grandchildren one by one!"

I looked helpless, what kind of inn is this, it's clearly a black shop. I was going to find a place to stay overnight, but I didn't expect a charming proprietress to appear at the door of the inn. The proprietress shouted: "Ding Hei, who dared to scold the guests for you? Today the old lady's financial path is ruined, and the old lady will let you cut off your children and grandchildren at night!"

As soon as the words fell, the proprietress was full of charm and smiled at me: "Come, come, two masters, it's windy outside, go and sit inside." ”

The guy named Ding Hei slowly pulled out his right foot, looking incredulous. Then he snorted coldly at me: "You two boys are lucky, you will die if you don't have money!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the old bridesmaid sent us in and scolded, "Ding Hei, carefully scrub the treasures of these two sons, feed them with high-quality horse grass, dare to be careful, the old lady will cut you to death!"

As soon as the old bridesmaid turned around, she immediately greeted people with a smiling face, and in this extreme northern desert, it looked like an autumn lilac, and it seemed much more enthusiastic. The old bridesmaid stood in front of the counter and touched the golden abacus, and said: "Come on, our Longmen Inn is famous for its fair price, Tong Suo is not bullied, in this Yanmen Mountain is a well-known golden signboard, which guest has lived, not to mention our kindness......"

Hu Chuquan didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "My brother and I live in the hotel and open two upper rooms for us." ”

"Yo!" the proprietress looked up and down at Hu Chuquan, and said, "This master is really wealthy, and the upper room of our store is not something that ordinary people can afford." ”

"Bang!" Hu Chuquan raised his hand and threw a gold ingot on the countertop, looking at it more than three catties, and asked, "Do you think this is enough?"

The proprietress smiled and picked up the gold and put it in her mouth and bit it, and said with a smile: "Enough, enough, the two masters upstairs, please, wait a while, and add two side dishes for the gentlemen for free!"

I went upstairs with Hu Chuquan, and was going up the stairs, when I suddenly looked down, but I found that the people in the lobby who were still eating and drinking were looking at us, and when they saw me looking at them, they immediately seemed to be nothing, and continued to drink and fight, I rubbed my eyes, suspecting that I was dazzled.

The proprietress was stunned when she saw the two of us, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, two sons, these men are all doing business, and some have not tasted women for a month or two. No, if the old lady didn't have kung fu, she would have let these poor ghosts fall to the ground a long time ago. ”

Hearing her say that, I thought it was. It seems that this proprietress is a master.

went upstairs, but Hu Chuquan said, "Brother Duan, I think something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" I was taking off my shirt as I entered my room after a day of travel.

"Those people weren't trying to play with a woman's eyes just now," Hu Chuquan said uncertainly, "I always think they're going to kill us!"
