Chapter Twenty-Seven: Qi Yun Yuelai
When eight people came to Qiyun County, it was already dark, fortunately, there was no such thing as a curfew in this world, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were all acting like this, and they didn't care if seven or eight people entered the city like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, even if they manage it, they don't dare to manage it on Zhao Wushuang's head, this is the boundary of Yunzhou, although these officers and soldiers are nominally the establishment of the Song Imperial Court, they point to the Qizong every month to issue salaries, so they dare to manage the head of the eldest lady of the Qizong?
Qiyun County is leaning against the mountain, the traffic is inconvenient, and the traffic is not passable, so the scale of the county is not large, and it is dark everywhere in the city, and there are few portals that even light lanterns. Unlike Zhang Muye before, they were in Shou County, how far away they could see the two big red lanterns hanging high in the five-story Yuelai Inn.
Why is there such a big difference between the two counties that are both relying on the Xuanwu Mountains, one in the west and the other in the east? Although the land route of Guy Shouchun is isolated by mountains and the transportation is inconvenient, the Qujiang River is transparent from east to west and is passing through Shouchun, and once the water transportation is passed, the county seat will naturally become much more prosperous.
Although there is no street light in Qiyun County in the middle of winter, Xiang Yu is familiar with the road, and when he enters the city, he turns left and right to bring everyone to a two-story building. Zhang Muye walked closer and saw two lanterns hanging in front of the door, the lanterns were estimated to have been uncleaned for too long, and the outside was covered with a lot of ash, and a dim candlelight was revealed from the inside.
By the dim yellow candlelight, I could vaguely see that the plaque hanging on the door was actually Yuelai Inn.
Xiang Yu went up and buckled the door, and Zhang Muye next to him was a black line, and now it was just when he arrived at the army (more than 7 o'clock in the evening) that the Yuelai Inn was closed, how bad is this business.
After a few buckles, the wooden bolt door of the inn creaked open, and an old man with a slight fortune came out, carrying a lantern to Xiang Yuzhao, squinting for a long time before shouting: "It turned out to be Young Master Xiang, please come in, please come in." ”
Xiang Yu turned his head to Zhang Muye and said, "Master Zhang, please go in with Uncle Fu first, and I'll take the third uncle and them to tie the horse." As he spoke, he beckoned Zhang Dali and Xiao Fang to tie the horse.
Zhang Muye handed the horse to Xiao Fang and went in with Uncle Fu, and several other people followed.
As soon as Uncle Fu entered, he shouted to the backyard, "Xiao Manzi, come out to greet the guests." Zhang Muye was a little surprised when he heard his loud voice, but he didn't expect that this old man's eyes were not very good, but he was very confident.
Uncle Fu lit the lanterns in the store one by one with a lantern, and some of the lanterns fell too much ash, and Uncle Fu raised them as soon as he blew the ashes, causing him to cough, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, the inn usually closes early, and it usually doesn't light up at night, so it doesn't take care of it." ”
When all the lanterns were lit, a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old with bright eyes and bright teeth came to the backyard, which should be the little man who shouted just now. Xiao Man carried the kettle, poured a few cups of tea with a smile, and said: "Distinguished guests, please drink tea, our store is a century-old brand, and the tea is also obtained from Longjing before the rain, and the best tea, please try it." ”
Uncle Fu happened to come over, carrying the lantern, knocking Xiaoman with the bamboo handle in his hand, and scolded: "Don't be embarrassed here, you little rabbit cub, these are all guests from the main sect." As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Chuan again, "Xiao Chuan, I see that you are from the east, why don't you go and help Young Master Xiang lead the horse?"
Jiang Chuan had been walking with his head bent over just now, and when he heard Uncle Fu ask himself, he raised his head, revealing his pale face, which startled Uncle Fu and hurriedly asked, "Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you, are you injured?"
Jiang Chuan shook his head, "My little injury is not in the way, but I lost a little blood, and my face looks a little whiter." He pointed at Zhao Wushuang again, "Uncle Fu, this is Miss Wushuang, and this time I went out of the sect with Miss." ”
When Uncle Fu heard Miss Wushuang, of course he knew that it was the sect master's daughter Zhao Wushuang in front of him, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, "The old servant visited Miss Zhao, I didn't know that Miss Zhao was coming, and I missed the welcome, so please forgive me." Saying that, he patted the back of Xiao Man's head again, Xiao Man understood, and simply knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Wushuang: "Miss has a long life of 100 years, and her life is longer than Nanshan." ”
Zhao Wushuang raised his hand: "Uncle Fu doesn't have to be like this, since you are also a member of the Qi Sect, you and I are the same sect, so you don't have to salute." She said to Xiao Man again: "And you kid, where did you learn these words, you won't use them blindly." ”
Zhang Muye understood at this time, it turned out that this inn was still the industry of the Instrument Sect, he sighed, this Instrument Sect's business methods are not good, a good Yuelai Inn, a time-honored signboard, was made into such a downtrodden situation. He looked around, and it seemed that there were no other guests in this inn except for himself and the others.
Zhao Wushuang talked to Uncle Fu again, and did not introduce Zhang Muye's identity, Uncle Fu took Xiaoman to the back kitchen to prepare dinner, Zhang Muye sighed again, the inn didn't even have a cook, and the shopkeeper actually had to go out in person to cook. However, looking at the display facilities in this main hall, although it is a little simple, it is still neat and clean, and the sanitary condition is quite passable.
When Zhang Dali and the others came back, Xiao Man also began to serve dishes to the table one after another, not to mention, this Uncle Fu's dish was not only made quickly, but also had a full range of color, flavor, and flavor. Originally, a few people were hungry, but now that the delicacy is in front, they naturally can't help but feast.
When everyone finished dinner, Uncle Fu and Xiao Man packed up five more rooms and came out, except for Zhang Muye and Zhao Wushuang, everyone else was one room for two people. The inn has only two floors, and the five rooms are on the second floor, from east to west, and rooms 1 to 5 are arranged sequentially.
In the No. 1 room where Zhao Wushuang lived, Xiang Yu and Jiang Chuan were also there, and the three of them were sitting together discussing what happened today.
Zhao Wushuang complained about Zhang Muye at the beginning, saying that he was incognito and untrustworthy, and that he would not save him when he saw death, and stood by and watched, even if he was wearing scholarly clothes, he had to say it.
Xiang Yu and the others endured it for a while before interrupting her, "Senior sister, what Master Zhang is doing is not righteous, but if it weren't for him today, the three of us would probably be in the wilderness." ”
Zhao Wushuang wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute, so he could only change the topic, "Senior brother, do you know why this Iron Sword Sect is ambushing in Qiyun Canyon today, and it has to kill us." Although the relationship between our two factions has been tense, it has not yet reached the point of making it clear. ”
Xiang Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said in a deep voice: "Senior sister is right, our two factions have not yet reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, but because of this, they want to extinguish our mouths." After speaking, looking at the puzzled expressions on the faces of Zhao Wushuang and the others, he reminded: "This Elder Qin has killed Wu Huanzhi, and the rebellion of the two swords will have nothing to do with the Iron Sword Gate." ”
When Zhao Wushuang heard this, he was still puzzled: "But we didn't know that it was him Elder Qin who killed Wu Huanzhi before, why did he reveal his identity." ”
Xiang Yu shook his head and said: "We may not know, but someone knows, I see that today Zhang Mengzhu called out the identity of the other party's Iron Sword Gate, and he must know the inside story." Now that we have come together, Elder Qin doesn't dare to bet that he won't tell us. ”
When Zhao Wushuang heard this, he snorted, "This Zhang Muye, who knows everything, but keeps us in the dark, is really hateful. ”
Xiang Yu ignored her and asked Jiang Chuan: "Can you still feel pain in your chest now?"
Jiang Chuan rubbed his chest and hummed: "It doesn't hurt, but I don't dare to work hard, my internal force can barely run, this old Qin dog, if it weren't for a strange square cloth towel in his hand, he would have been shot into a sieve by my rainstorm wolf tooth nails." Thinking of the square scarf, he suddenly shouted: "Hey, senior brother, the square cloth towel of the old thief Qin fell to the ground, and we forgot to take it in a hurry, and I don't know if it is still there." ”
Zhao Wushuang also looked regretful, why didn't he remember to take it at that time? That cloth towel must be a good thing.
Xiang Yu shook his head, the square cloth towel was long gone, and it had been taken away by others a long time ago, but he kept this sentence in his heart and didn't say it.
......
And in the No. 5 room where Zhang Muye lived, Zhang Dali mysteriously took out a golden ball of cloth and handed it to Zhang Muye, "Young master, look. ”
Zhang Muye's eyes lit up, isn't this the mysterious square step scarf that Elder Qin used today?
