CHAPTER XXIV

Five days later in the morning.

"Miss Xiao, 40 miles further is Yingtian. Li Mu said to me on the side.

Fortunately, with these good horses, 5 days will be almost to the day, these 5 days the four of us rushed during the day, rest at night, bald Song Lin's injury is also much better, I have not practiced swordsmanship in these few days, but spent some time at night to practice the heart method, this internal strength heart method has to spend time to practice every day, the deep internal strength is all based on the accumulation of practice every day, can not be relaxed.

At this time, Li Mu and the others stopped their horses, and I immediately stopped when I saw this.

"Brother Li, why don't you leave?" I asked.

"Oh, Miss Xiao, we have other things to do, you should also know the road to Yingtian, just this road is going forward. "I can't guess what Li Mu is talking about.

But I don't know the details of these people, they love as much as they want, and besides, it's almost Yingtian soon, and sooner or later I'll have to separate from them, and I can go to Yingtian.

"Oh, that's good Brother Li, then let's say goodbye, I have to go to Yingtian. "With that, I'm ready to shoot my horse and drive away.

"Wait. Li Mu told me to stop.

Li Mu touched it into his arms and took out a large stack of silver tickets:

"Miss Xiao, this is five thousand taels of silver, take it. Li Mu handed it over.

Wow, this Li Mu is really wide enough, didn't he help him beat away Wu Shaohui from Lianyunbao, he can give me so much silver, but I am still short of silver at the moment, but how can I take so much from him.

"Brother Li, I received it kindly, I don't know how to repay you for the silver I gave earlier, not to mention that this Feixue BMW also manages a lot of silver, and it also makes you spend a lot of money along the way, I can't ask for this silver, thank you." ”

Seeing that I pushed back, Li Mu didn't have the silver to take back, and smiled at me:

"Miss Xiao, along the way, I see that you are not too familiar with this Yingtian, the Ming Emperor is Yingtian, you have a lot of places to use silver, and you have to spend money to find your relatives, this five thousand taels of silver is not worth mentioning to me, and Miss Xiao is my Li's life-saving benefactor, not to mention that after five thousand and so on, 5.5 million Li should also be reciprocated by Yongquan, you just take it, rest assured, I won't let you do anything for me." ”

"Take it, Miss Xiao. Song Lin and He Jian on the side also persuaded me to accept the money.

After thinking about it, there are really a lot of places to use money, no matter how you go to Yingtian, you have to eat, drink and live in the hotel, this Yingtian inn is estimated to be more expensive than that of Qingshi Town, and now I have the 5 taels of silver left over from the tiger skin in my arms, 5 taels, maybe it is only enough to live in Yingtian for one night, in addition to these 5 taels, there is only this Feixue Horse left, although this Mahai can sell some silver, but I have a very good relationship with Feixue these days, and I am not willing to sell it.

Hey, this money is very useful no matter what era it is, what if I have this martial arts, it is impossible to make money by performing chest crushing boulders on the street, and it is impossible to steal or rob it, look at this Li Mu's rich appearance, and he is so generous, I will accept the 5,000 taels of silver, and I will pay him back when I have the opportunity in the future.

"Okay, Brother Li, I'll take it, but even if it is lent to me, I'll pay you back when I have money in the future. After speaking, I took the silver ticket in Li Mu's hand and put it on my body.

"Hehe, Miss Xiao said that she would see her outside, it was an honor for Li to meet Miss Xiao, but Li was really troubled, otherwise Li would have accompanied Miss Xiao to find your relatives, okay, Miss Xiao said goodbye here, and I will see you again in the future. ”

"Thank you, Brother Li, goodbye. ”

"Oh, wait a minute. "Then Li Mu seemed to remember something and hurriedly pulled me back.

"I have a few words to say to Miss Xiao, I can see that Miss Xiao has a simple and kind temperament and is not deeply involved in the world, although your martial arts cultivation is very high, but you have no vigilance against many people in this world, what kind of people are there in this world, a few days ago you offended the power of Lianyunbao in Yingtian, I hope Miss Xiao takes care of everything, be more careful in everything, okay, don't say anything else, Miss Xiao is a smart person, goodbye. ”

After hearing this, my heart warmed, since I was separated from that Li beauty, I have encountered a lot of things in the past dozens of days, many times I have encouraged myself alone, but I didn't expect this Li Mu to say this now, which made me suddenly think of many people around me, my nose was sore, and tears almost fell out.

I fixed my mind, looked at this Li Mu, and was very moved.

"Thank you, Brother Li, Xiao Qin, I will be more careful. After arching his hand and saying goodbye to Li Mu and the others, he patted the flying snow and rushed to Yingtian.

There are really a lot of people who go to Yingtian this way, many of them are riding horses or driving carriages, and from time to time you can see some officers and soldiers and mighty generals riding horses past them.

It's almost the day, and my horseback riding speed has slowed down a lot, and I still take a look at the scenery in this ancient capital.

I saw a tall city in front of me, above the city gate was written in ancient script "Yingtian City West", under the city wall is a moat about three meters wide, this city gate put down a suspension bridge connecting the city and the outside of the city, for people to pass through this gate, the people who entered the city lined up a long line, I got off the horse and followed a carriage pulling firewood, and walked slowly into the city.

When it was almost time for me, I looked at the portraits of the two people posted on the city gate, and after a closer look, I found that one was Wang Zhi and the other was Liu Yifan!

This portrait is a wanted criminal! Why are there only these two people? Could it be that Li Meinu, Uncle Cheng, and Zhang Hu have all been arrested? Or have they all had accidents? But seeing these two portraits, it is certain that Wang Zhi and Liu Yifan have not yet fallen into the hands of the government, and their hearts are suddenly in turmoil.

But fortunately, there is no portrait of me, which means that the government does not know my situation, if there is really a portrait of me, I will definitely not be able to enter in such a big way, and I have to dodge if I enter.

When it was my turn, a group of officers and soldiers guarding the gate took the portrait in their hands and looked at me several times as usual, for fear that the prisoner would be able to make up like me, but fortunately, there were no accidents, and the officers and soldiers let me in.

As soon as I entered this day, my first feeling was that there were a lot of people.

The people on this street are very lively, several times more lively than that Wuchang City, not to mention the bluestone town, the houses on both sides of the street are also very exquisitely repaired, and they are also very atmospheric, the shops on both sides have been connected one by one, selling clothes, selling rice, pharmacies, silver numbers, restaurants, inns, and so on.

It seems that this capital is very prosperous.

There are also many vendors selling snacks and small things on the street.

"Sell flower cakes! Delicious five-color cakes!"

"Sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd. ”

"Dogwood, a brand new Dogwood sachet, repellent insects and evil spirits!"

"Chrysanthemum cake, chrysanthemum cake!"

"Chrysanthemum wine, freshly brewed chrysanthemum wine. ”

・・・

How do these things sound familiar, I can't remember it for a while, but I saw a place that sells flower cakes, this pastry is colorful, it smells really fragrant, I spent a few pennies to buy a few, and it tastes good. Then I bought a chrysanthemum cake and tasted it, the chrysanthemum is faintly fragrant, it is really delicious to swallow, I didn't think the pastry made by the ancients was so delicious.

After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that today is the 9th day of the ninth month of September! Double Ninth Festival, no wonder there are so many dogwoods and chrysanthemum cakes sold on this street, I think I haven't found these things sold in Wuchang for a few months, and then I looked at the streets on both sides, and there are many places with blooming chrysanthemums, some yellow and white, very beautiful.

I bought a dogwood sachet and wore it on my body, smelled the smell, and remembered a poem written by the ancients: I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives every festival. The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood.

・・・

Now I'm really alone in a foreign land as a stranger, hey, I said don't think about my parents anymore, but at this time this longing is getting stronger and stronger, I don't know what my mother is doing at home now, cooking for my father? Is my father still digging that ancient tomb? Maybe they are also thinking about me at this time, blame me...

Well, I'll have to find an inn to stay in, and I'll lead my horse to the inn on the side of the street.

The inn in the capital is much better than that of Wuchang and Qingshi Town in terms of appearance and decoration, but I am worried about what Tianxiang Inn is called, and I have inquired in Qingshi Town. Since the head office is in the capital, and I have the silver sent by Li Mu, I will look for the Tianxiang Inn.

I found two streets, and finally found the Tianxiang Inn, which is four or five times larger than the Qingshi Town, and the decoration of the store is also extremely luxurious.

After booking a room on the second floor, I went downstairs to eat something, and the five taels of silver in my arms had been used up, and I thought about finding a silver number to exchange the silver ticket for some silver, and by the way I bought a few more sets of clothes.

This woman, there are those who don't like to be beautiful, and they are not very satisfied with the two sets of clothes they want to buy in Qingshi Town, and they must buy a few better sets in the capital.

Out of the inn not a few steps next to the inn to see a Juyuan money village, this Juyuan money village is also very good at doing business, no wonder it is the world's first silver number, such a good investment vision why not make money.

Entered the money bank and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it in, the person who received the silver ticket was a middle-aged man, the man looked at the silver ticket and nodded, then put the silver ticket back in the drawer beside him, turned around and took out 5 silver ingots for me in a cabinet, each of which was 20 taels.

After taking the silver and preparing to go out, a group of men in green clothes suddenly came in from outside the door, each with a big eagle embroidered on their chests!

Isn't that the Outfit of the Aquila?

I didn't expect that as soon as I came to this Yingtian, I actually met the people of the Sky Eagle Gang, just now I was worried about looking for Li Meinu and Liu Yifan and I don't know where to start, it seems that this group of disciples of the Sky Eagle Gang came at the right time.

"Haha, Jiao Qi, it's so fucking cool, I went to Yangzhou a few days ago, and I shared 500 taels of silver with the helper, haha, cool!" said a one-eyed bucktoothed man among the men in Tsing Yi to the person named Jiao Qi next to him.

"Grandma's, I won't be as happy as you stay in the gang to guard, I don't know who else in the capital can have the courage to come to us to help make trouble, Tian Heng, redeem the silver and invite me to drink flower wine, that Chunmanlou has come to a batch of good flower girls these days, wait for Shuangshuang to go." By the way, why didn't the gang leader return to the capital this time, Tian Heng. "The tall man with burnt air, mouse eyes, and a mustache at the corners of his mouth, when he said that Chun Manlou, his eyes were almost shining, and the corners of his mouth almost drooled.

"Haha, I'm going to wait for Shuangshuang, the helper will stay in Yangzhou and come back for a few days, but it's good not to come back, a few of us will be much freer, ha" Na Tian Heng's face is full of meat, especially the one-eyed, it is really unpleasant to watch, listening to that Tian Heng talk about going to Yangzhou to do business, I'm afraid I'm helping the government arrest some innocent people, I think I'm sure I'll teach this group of garbage a good lesson in a place where no one is.

"Huh, this girl is good-looking, haha. Nada walked into the counter and saw me, and said to me with a hippie smile.

Seeing Tian Heng say this, Jiao Qi and the rest of the Sky Eagle Gang surrounded one after another, counting a total of six people.

"Haha, Tian Heng, I'm lucky today, I don't need any money to go to Chunmanlou, this girl in front of me is fine. That Jiao Qi also looked at me in a daze.

I really didn't expect that these people in the capital would be so bold in broad daylight, and this group of people at the feet of the Son of Heaven was really so arrogant, although the Sky Eagle Gang was working for the imperial court, they would not have such courage.

The guys and shopkeepers of Juyuan Money Village seemed to be used to this, and none of them had a panicked expression, let alone dared to come out to help me.

"You are really bold, if you dare to do this in the imperial city, you are not afraid that the government will arrest you. I asked deliberately raising my voice.

"Haha, the government, we are the government, the girl will play with our brothers, and I will guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future." After saying that, Tian Heng forced me over, and opened his hand to hug me.
