The road is strange
Also sitting in the speeding carriage, Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue's mood is different, Ao Shuangxue is now full of excitement, and keeps laughing along the way, sometimes chatting with Zhan Nansong in front of him, and sometimes talking to Chi Zhongtian. However, Chi Zhongtian's mood is relatively complicated, because Chi Zhongtian knows that this time out of the mountain, in addition to the experience, there are many things to do, and some things, intuitively know that it is not so easy. Therefore, except for a few words with Aoshuangxue along the way, the rest of the time was all silently jihua in my heart.
The time soon came to dusk, and gradually, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue saw that the city gate of Lucheng was already not far ahead, in fact, it was not possible to catch up with a few hundred miles in just one day, but firstly, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue set off early, and secondly, because this horse was a good horse in a thousand, except for occasional rests on the way, most of the time they were in a hurry, and they couldn't stand it for a long time when they were replaced by ordinary horses.
After a while, the carriage gradually arrived at the gate of Lucheng. Although Lucheng is a border city, the area is not small, and the city is also prosperous, it is dusk at this time, and there is still an endless stream of people coming and going at the city gate.
At this time, Zhan Nansong grabbed the horse, jumped out of the car and said to Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue: "Senior brother and sister, I will send you here, this carriage is borrowed from a person named Hu San in the city, you can go and help me return it in a while, Hu San lives in the 'Hu Ji' inn in the city." As he spoke, he reached out and took out a small package from his arms, handed it to Chi Zhongtian and said: "This is what the master asked me to give you, there are a few letters in it, and some scattered silver taels, about dozens of taels, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to go from here to the Central Plains, and when you get to the Central Plains, there is no money to spend, you have to do it yourself!"
Chi Zhongtian said while taking the package: "Third Senior Brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself, you should go back early, it's not early, even if you ride a fast horse, you will have to get to the valley in the middle of the night!"
Zhan Nansong said: "Haha, junior brother, don't worry about me, I won't go back today, I'll go to a friend's house in the suburbs to borrow it for one night, and I'll go back tomorrow." Hurry into the city, you have to walk on your own, be careful!"
Chi Zhongtian replied while carrying the package on his back, "Senior brother, don't worry. Then let's leave it at that, let's go!" he said, holding Aoshuangxue with his hand, pulling the carriage and walking towards the city.
Zhan Nansong stood at the gate of the city and watched the two of them walk towards the city, a smile slowly appearing on his face. After watching the two of them and the carriage enter the city, Zhan Nansong also turned around and left.
After Chi Zhongtian pulled the carriage and entered the city with Aoshuangxue, as soon as he entered the city gate, Chi Zhongtian said to Aoshuangxue: "I have also been to this deer city a few times, but every time I follow the senior brothers to purchase things. I can't imagine that one day I will come here with you, and I am going to go from here to experience the rivers and lakes, what a joy!"
Ao Shuangxue shook Chi Zhongtian's hand tightly and asked with a smile, "Did Brother like to be with me that day?"
Chi Zhongtian glanced at Ao Shuangxue and said: "I like it, I like it tightly, I really didn't expect my father to let you accompany me, to be honest, I'm very happy, you don't know, I miss you during this time, and I even want to secretly go back to the valley to see you, but I'm afraid that my father will find out!
"Hee-hee, don't be poor, let's go, hurry up and return the carriage first, it's getting late. Aoshuangxue urged with a smile.
"Okay, let's go!" After speaking, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue walked towards the Hu Ji Inn together.
Maybe they were too excited, maybe they were too inexperienced, maybe they didn't know that at this moment, someone was already eyeing them.
As soon as they entered the city, a man wearing a hat had been paying attention to them at a tea stall on the side of the city gate, and when they had led the carriage away, the man with a hat suddenly got up, and then followed silently.
Chi Zhongtian had been to Lucheng several times before, so he still had a deep impression of some of the big merchants in the city. The Hu Ji Inn mentioned by Zhan Nansong is the largest inn in Lucheng. So Chi Yuanshan is still very familiar with this place, with Ao Shuangxue turned around and came to the door of Hu Ji Inn Hu Ji Inn is the largest inn in Lucheng, about three floors high, there are two red pillars at the door, there is a big plaque hanging above the main entrance of the inn, writing "Hu Ji Inn" four big characters, Chi Zhongtian also knows a little bit about calligraphy, a little look to know that the person who writes this word must be a calligraphy everyone.
As soon as Chi Zhongtian parked the carriage, the shopkeeper inside ran straight to Chi Zhongtian and asked with a smile: "Childe, Miss, do you live in the hotel or eat?"
"We're here to return the carriage, is Hu San here?" Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Ah, you're looking for our shopkeeper, then wait a minute, I'll go and say hello to you." With that, the shopkeeper ran towards the inn again.
"The third senior brother actually asked someone else's boss to borrow a car, it's really face-saving!" Aoshuangxue exclaimed.
Chi Zhongtian smiled and said, "It's not surprising, the third senior brother often comes here to purchase, and he must know a lot of people!"
"That's right!"
As he was talking, a middle-aged man in an earthy yellow robe walked out of the inn, and said while walking in front of Chi Zhongtian: "Dare to ask, is it Chi Gongzi?"
Seeing that someone asked, Chi Zhongtian hurriedly replied: "It's here, this is your carriage, we are here to return it to you!"
"Yes, yes, come on, lead the carriage to the backyard!" Hu San replied to Chi Zhongtian while beckoning the man to take the carriage away. Then, Hu San said: "I don't know where Chi Gongzi is going." It's getting late, if you're not in a hurry, why don't you stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning?"
Chi Zhongtian thought about it, anyway, according to the route arranged by his father, how could it be more than 100 miles away from the next city, it was so late, it was better to rest for one night, and it would be too late to hurry tomorrow morning, so he said to Ao Shuangxue: "Senior sister, we might as well stay for one night and then leave, today is a day's journey, presumably you are also very weak, let's just rest and rest, and recuperate your spirit to go tomorrow morning, what do you think?"
Aoshuangxue grinned and replied: "You are a big man, why do you still ask me a little woman when you go out, I listen to you, you can do whatever you say!"
"Okay, then Boss Hu, arrange two rooms for us, oh no" Chi Zhongtian was about to say, and suddenly thought that his silver was not very much, if he didn't save flowers, I was afraid it would not be enough. So he dragged Ao Shuangxue to the side, and quietly said to Ao Shuangxue: "Senior sister, why don't we have a room, you sleep in the bed and I sleep underground, so as to save some money, okay?"
As soon as Ao Shuangxue heard this, her face flushed with shame, and she wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, saving money is indeed very important, besides, the two grew up together since childhood, and they know each other very well what their personalities are, and Chi Zhongtian is definitely not the one who likes to do things to girls. Thinking of this, Aoshuangxue replied in a low voice, "You can arrange it!" After speaking, he walked to the inn alone with Chi Zhongtian's package and sword.
Chi Zhongtian didn't react at once, thinking that it was just two people living in one room, what was the big deal, how could he still avoid it? While shaking his head, he then told Hu San that he wanted a guest room, and then walked in.
After Chi Zhongtian entered the inn, a shopkeeper guided them upstairs and entered the room, and the shopkeeper asked them what they wanted to eat. Chi Zhongtian said that he could just get some of it, and then the shopkeeper agreed, closed the door and went out.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Aoshuangxue was about to say something to Chi Zhongtian, Chi Zhongtian suddenly put his finger to his mouth and "shh
"Brother Tian, what are you doing?" Ao Shuangxue didn't react for a moment, what was Chi Zhongtian going to do.
"Shhhh
"What, don't scare me, okay?" Aoshuangxue suddenly raised her head and glared at Chi Zhongtian as if she had heard something damn about it.
"Be quiet, don't worry, you can't be wrong. I've been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and this little trick can't hide it from me!" Chi Zhongtian continued to her as he lowered her voice as she asked Ao Shuangxue to lower her voice.
Ao Shuangxue also lowered her voice at this time and said to Chi Zhongtian: "Could it be that you are too careful, people have no malicious intentions, they are just curious, maybe they are on the same road!"
Chi Zhongtian squinted his eyes at Ao Shuangxue, and replied helplessly: "Miss, are we monsters? What is there to be curious about? Besides, the same road? Is there such a strange same road? Do you think that person is an ordinary person? Although he is not a master, he is also a practiced, and the footsteps are different!"
"What then. Why don't we go!" asked Aoshuangxue a little panicked.
"No, we just came out to play, and we're feeling bored, so let's relax. Chi Zhongtian said nonchalantly.
"Brother Tian, let's be careful, this place is not comparable to Cold Leaf Valley, we can't find anyone to help!" Ao Shuangxue said with some worry.
Chi Zhongtian patted Ao Shuangxue's shoulder with his hand, and said: "Look at you, what are you afraid of, are you also good at martial arts, why are you so daring?
"How do you know it's a small thief, what if it's a big thief?" asked Aoshuangxue in a hurry.
"The big thief will clean up the same! Dare to beat our idea, hmph, see if I don't clean him up!"
"Okay, then listen to you, anyway, it's not far from home here, it's really troublesome, there should be a way to solve it!"
"Okay, what's the trouble, in this way, you listen to me!" As he spoke, Chi Zhongtian lowered his head and made such arrangements for Ao Shuangxue.
In fact, Chi Zhongtian didn't have any eyes at all, he had already discovered some strange things.
When he first entered the city, Chi Zhongtian was still patronizing and happy, and found nothing, and then walked forward for a while, and suddenly found that there was a person with very light feet not far behind him, Chi Zhongtian began to practice Chi Yuanshan's unique internal skills since he was a child, and now although he can't say that he has achieved great success, but at least listening to the sound of this kind of trick is difficult to Chi Zhongtian, just listening to the footsteps to know that the person who follows him is a person who knows martial arts, because even if ordinary people deliberately slow down, although the sound is very small, but the speed will also slow down, but this person not only has light footsteps, but the walking speed is the same as that of normal people At the same time, he is afraid that he will make a joke because of his misjudgment, so he deliberately took Aoshuang Xue around the east and west, and around Chi Zhongtian, it was already determined that the person behind him was following him, and he must have bad intentions. Although Chi Zhongtian has no experience in the rivers and lakes, he has heard Chi Yuanshan talk a lot about the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and Chi Yuanshan has also talked to Chi Zhongtian many times about this kind of tracking and other things, so he didn't have much effort to judge it. Originally, Chi Zhongtian wanted to dodge, but then he thought about it, he just came out, and before he had time to practice, he encountered such a strange thing, so it was better to take this opportunity to practice his hands, you know, Chi Zhongtian's kung fu is usually practiced by himself, at most he is to learn from his brothers, and he has never tried to fight in real style, young man, who doesn't have a little competitiveness? So Chi Zhongtian didn't plan to hide, so he walked all the way to the inn, walked all the way, and slowly thought about a jihua in his heart. Then he deliberately waited for a guest room outside the door, as if he wanted others to hear.
