Chapter 131: Ping'an County
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Zhou Hua got up early, and made breakfast in a jingling sound of pots and pans, Ji Yuan heard the sound of Zhou Hua making breakfast, and then got up, after washing, after breakfast, Ji Yuan took out the map from the carriage and looked at it, and then said to Zhou Hua:
"We drove more than 12,000 miles yesterday, out of this dense forest, 500 miles ahead is Ping'an County, let's go to replenish some fresh food and then go. ”
Zhou Hua listened to Ji Yuan's words and quickly packed up the pots and pans, and then put the gale on the dragon and drove out of this dense forest, and finally came to a city after driving forward for more than two hours on the mountain road, because there were more and more pedestrians on the road, Zhou Hua let the gale slow down, and when he arrived at the city gate, Zhou Hua saw that there were three huge three-dimensional words on the city gate, "Ping'an County", and said to the epoch in the carriage:
"Young Master, Ping'an County has arrived!"
"Well, got it, let's go to the city!"
The reason why Ping'an County is called Ping'an County is because the place where it is located is a flat river with a radius of 5,000 miles, and there is not even a low mountain of more than 500 zhang, the whole Ping'an County is flat, but it is surrounded by tall and majestic mountains all around, and it is like a round mirror from the sky.
The main source of income is the production of crops, and the grain produced here can be eaten by people in five states, so there are many merchants who transport grain in Ping'an County, which also makes the city of Ping'an County lively.
And part of the grain here had to be handed over to the imperial court, and every year the imperial court had to collect grain from here and store it in the treasury for war.
At this time, it was noon, and there were many pedestrians on the street, and the carriage and gale of the era were so special, so all the way, the pedestrians on the road were pointing and discussing, and they were all guessing which nobleman was sitting in this carriage.
Zhou Hua was used to the pointing and pointing of these pedestrians, so he ignored the strange eyes of those people and drove down the street to a restaurant called "Ping An Inn".
Because this is the peak period of dining, there are a lot of guests coming and going at the gate of this inn, and the shopkeeper who shouted at the door was a little hoarse, when he saw the carriage that Zhou Hua was driving, his eyes lit up, and then his face showed surprise, he stepped forward quickly, and at this moment Zhou Hua drove the carriage to the door, the shopkeeper immediately took a few steps forward, with a smile on his face, nodded and asked:
"Excuse me, are you dining or staying at a hotel?"
Zhou Hua stopped the carriage and replied casually: "Our young master will eat first, and buy some food by the way!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, what kind of food do you want to buy, you can buy it for you by the shop!"
Ji Yuan pulled the car door and got out of the carriage, he smiled and said to the shopkeeper:
"Take us to dinner first!"
Then the shopkeeper asked Zhou Hua to drive the carriage to the backyard, and he himself led the way in front, and Ji Yuan followed him into the store.
Zhou Hua went into a backyard from the side, parked the carriage there, and then entered the inn as well.
The shopkeeper saw that Ji Yuan and the two were approachable, and he felt good in his heart, he took Ji Yuan to a private room by the window on the second floor and sat down, and then went to arrange the dishes, Zhou Hua also entered the private room for a while, he quickly poured a glass of water for Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan looked at the pedestrians passing outside the window and did not speak, and after a while, a table of sumptuous dishes was sent up, seeing this table of sumptuous dishes, Ji Yuan and Zhou Hua suddenly had a great appetite, and the two of them ate quickly and unceremoniously.
Just as the two of them were having a good meal, suddenly there was a dense sound of horses' hooves and shouts from the door of the inn, and then a rough voice came: "Immediately prepare ten tables of good wine and good food for the uncle!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the shop is now full of customers! Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to other inns," the second voice of the shopkeeper sounded.
"Smack!"
"Damn, I look down on you, uncle, so I came to your inn to eat! You little rabbit cub doesn't know how to lift!" the rough voice cursed and roared.
"Why are you beating people!" the shopkeeper came over with a crying voice.
"If you don't arrange it yet, Lao Tzu will slash you with a knife!"
When Ji Yuan heard this, he frowned, looked up at the door, and saw forty or fifty men with swords walking into the inn, and some of the guests who were eating in the inn saw the group of people who came in, and all of them showed frightened expressions.
The one who walked in front was nine feet tall, with a beard on his fleshy face, a pair of leopard eyes that shone fiercely, and the group of guards behind him were not kind.
"Get out of here!" the bearded man in the lead walked into the hall, and when he saw that there was not a single free table inside, his face changed, and then he shouted at a group of guests who were eating.
The guests who were eating were so frightened that they hurriedly ran out of the hall, in addition to the private room of the era, there were two tables of guests in the hall who did not leave, one table was a green-clothed girl in about twenty, and the other table was a strange combination, saying that it was strange because the three of them looked nothing alone, but the three of them looked a little strange together.
Among the three of them, there is a bald monk, this big monk is full of red light years about sixty years, his face beard has been gray, it looks a bit like a virtuous monk, and one is a Taoist priest, about fifty years old, three long beards under his forehead, and an unsheathed wooden sword on his back, although the wooden sword is made of wood, but it looks like there is a faint layer of purple gas, zuihou is a middle-aged scribe, wearing a cyan robe, a white jade fan in his hand, a light and breezy color, the three of them ignored the words of the big man, and only cared about eating their own meals, the three of them were full of vegetarian dishes on the table, and each of them served a bowl of rice to eat, which looked very simple。
A shopkeeper in his fifties at the counter was already trembling with fright when he heard the conversation between the shopkeeper outside and these unscrupulous people, and before he could make a move, the gang of fierce gods came to the hall and drove all the guests who were eating out of the inn.
The old shopkeeper came to this gang of fierce gods tremblingly, his face was full of sweat, and he cautiously said to the leading man: "This uncle, you scared my guests away, how do you tell the shop to do business!"
"Hmph! Less nonsense, hurry up and prepare ten tables of haode wine and food, the uncle still has important guests to entertain, and if you dare to slack off, be careful that Uncle Ben smashes your broken shop!"
The shopkeeper was pushed so hard that he staggered back four or five steps before he stood firm, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he immediately retreated to the counter, and hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to prepare the wine and food.
The leading man saw that there were still two tables of guests who did not hear his words and left, his face changed, but when he saw the girl in green, his face suddenly showed an obscene smile, and then he walked towards the girl in green, and the girl in green who was eating frowned when she saw a group of unkind guests walking towards her, and then put her hand on a sword with a green scabbard on the table.
The leader came to the table of the girl in green and then sat on the opposite side, his face was full of lewd smiles, and he said to the girl in green lightly:
"Little beauty, didn't you hear what the uncle said just now? Do you want to have a drink with the uncle?"
After speaking, he stretched out a hand to touch the pretty face of the girl in green, the green girl was angry, and grabbed the big man's hand with a move, and then twisted it with a click, and the big man screamed, and one hand was suddenly twisted into two pieces by the girl in green. ...,
The sudden change made Dahan stunned, and then he broke out in a cold sweat on his face, and yelled in pain:
"Stinky woman, dare to do it to the uncle, you are impatient!" After speaking, he took out a saber and slashed at the girl in green, the girl in green snorted coldly, and waved the sword with a sheath in her hand, separating the big man's sword, and the big man only felt a huge force coming, and he staggered back for more than ten steps before he stood firm.
Dahan was shocked in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, those guards pulled out their swords with a sonorous sound, and rushed towards the girl in green with a shout from their mouths.
At this moment, the old shopkeeper was even more trembling with fright, and he pointed to the big man and cried:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to fight, please go outside to fight, the small shop can't stand your toss!"
The great monk at the other table whispered: "My Buddha is merciful!"
The Taoist priest said, "Good, good!"
The middle-aged scribe shook the white jade fan in his hand: "Damn it, damn it!"
Ji Yuan and Zhou Hua, who were in the private room upstairs, laughed when they heard the words of the three of them, and squirted out all the food in their mouths.
The girl in green looked at the guards who rushed towards her, frowned, her face was furious, her mouth snapped, her figure stood up, and then she swung the sheathed sword in her hand forward, and a green shadow flashed a few times, and she heard the sound of ouch and the clatter of the weapon falling to the ground.
The thirty or so guards shouted in pain on their faces, and at this moment all their weapons fell to the ground, and they held the right hand that had been knocked by the girl in green with their uninjured hands, their faces were covered with beads of sweat, and some of them rolled their eyes in pain.
The leading man looked at the girl in green with a shocked face, and said in his mouth:
"You wait!"
With a wave of his hand, the injured guard picked up the weapon on the ground, glanced at the girl in green with a ruthless face, and then ran away with a "boom".
The old shopkeeper did not show joy when he saw that the big man and his gang were gone, but walked to the green-clothed girl worriedly and persuaded anxiously:
"Girl, you'd better go quickly, you're in big trouble today! If you don't leave, the shop will be smashed!"
The girl in green frowned when she heard this, she watched the old shopkeeper casually turn over a piece of gold about ten taels and appear in her hand, and her voice like a yellow warbler said to the old shopkeeper:
"You see, this is enough to compensate for the loss of your store!"
The old shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw the gold in the hand of the girl in green, but then he persuaded him:
"Girl, you better go, those people just now are the tyrants of this Ping'an County, and there are many powerful people behind them!"
The girl in green listened to the old shopkeeper's words, and did not show any different colors, she put the gold in her hand on the old shopkeeper's hand, and said softly:
"You don't have to be afraid, they can't make any big waves!"
After saying that, he continued to eat her meal. Seeing this, the old shopkeeper couldn't persuade him again, after all, the girl gave ten taels of gold, which was enough to compensate.
The old shopkeeper who returned to the counter looked out of the door from time to time, his face full of melancholy.
