Chapter 598 The Innkeeper

The old housekeeper looked at the map to see where the next resting place would be. The more anxious he became, the more dazzled his eyes became, so the anxious old housekeeper walked out of the carriage compartment and sat side by side with the coachman. He asked the coachman: "When can we get to the inn?"

The coachman said, "Let's do it at night."

At this time, Suiying came over on horseback. He said to the old butler who was holding a map: "No need to look at the map. I have seen it all. You may not be able to find the inn even in the dark. How is the Marquis?"

The old butler said: "You just need to rest. The Marquis can't bear all this running around."

Suiying said: "That can only make the carriage run away faster."

The carriage galloped all the way, kicking up dust everywhere it passed, but such bumps made Wan Lianxing even more intolerable. He could only silently endure his turbulent stomach.

But in the end, he failed to overcome the discomfort. He shouted "stop" and jumped out of the carriage. After all this trouble, Wan Lianxing's face looked like that of a patient.

So everyone looked at him with worried eyes, and he said to the people around him: "Give me a map to look at."

Mr. Wan said: "Rest where you are. You can't go on the road any longer. It's been a long journey. People can't stand it, but neither can the carriages and horses."

Wan Lianxing could only agree. He stood in the middle of the road and looked at the map. He discussed the next itinerary with Suiying and Suixing before returning the map to Suiying.

This was only the time for a cup of tea, and Wan Lianxing set off on his journey.

Everyone had no choice but to get on the carriages and horses.

When it was time for lunch, Wan Lengxing's carriage didn't even get off. He just lay on the carriage without eating a bite.

This illness comes like a mountain. Wan Liexing usually likes to pretend to be sick or something, but the people around him know that this person is not pretending today, this person is really unwell today.

But the old housekeeper had already given Wan Lienxing several kinds of elixirs. Now he came to give Wan Lienxing some medicine. The medicine was stuffed into Wan Lienxing's mouth. Wan Lienxing had to open his mouth. Those listless eyes: "Do you still need to take more medicine?"

The old housekeeper said: "The medicine we take is not the same. I don't know which medicine will be effective."

Wan Lengxing said: "I feel much better and I don't want to vomit at all."

The old housekeeper said: "That's because there is nothing in your stomach, so you vomited it out."

The old housekeeper brought the water to Wan Liexing's mouth, and Wan Liexing had no choice but to swallow the medicine.

Wan Lianxing told the old housekeeper: "As soon as everyone has had a meal and rested, we can go on our way."

Wan Lengxing was in a daze for the rest of the journey. When it was time to rest, he didn't get out of the car and just lay there.

Master Wan wrote a letter and gave it to Suiying, asking the doctor who went ahead to take care of Wan Liexing. If there was a doctor around, he would know what Wan Liexing's problem was and whether it was serious.

Mr. Wan said: "Arrange someone to fetch the doctor."

Suiying said: "Then let me go. They have many people and horses. They must not have arrived at Feng camp at this time."

Mr. Wan warned, "Just say I'm sick."

The follower said: "This?"

Mr. Wan said: "Don't tell anyone that the Marquis is ill."

"Yes."

Sui Ying mounted his horse and left.

At dinner, Zhong Siyu cooked porridge for Wan Lianxing. In order not to worry everyone, Wan Lianxing sat on the armchair where he rested every day and drank a bowl of white porridge. He also praised Zhong Siyu's performance with a smile. Zhong Siyu, who is good at cooking and making porridge for the first time, couldn't help but blush after hearing this.

A bowl of medicine is also indispensable after a meal. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Wan Liexing drank a bowl of medicine. After seeing this, everyone felt relieved and felt that this was a sign of good health.

Pearl smiled and said: "Master Marquis, thank you for your kindness, otherwise I would be a sinner."

Wan Lengxing waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. It's because I ate the wrong thing in the morning. Don't take it upon yourself. I told you, it has nothing to do with you."

Everyone smiled when they saw Wan Liexing, who could talk and laugh.

It was late at night before we found an inn at the foot of a mountain.

There is no village or shop here, but there are quite a few people living in the inn.

The last few houses were occupied by people like them at high prices.

The old housekeeper found the owner of the inn.

"Boss, where can I find a doctor?"

The owner of the inn said: "I have wine and meat here, but I don't have a doctor."

The old housekeeper said, "How about I give you some more money?"

The innkeeper said: "It doesn't matter how much money you pay. You have no business here. We are just a family and a few shop assistants, and none of us knows how to heal."

The old housekeeper felt troubled.

The innkeeper leaned forward and said, "You are from Bianjing, right?"

The old housekeeper said cautiously: "The way we came here is farther than Bianjing. We came from Nancheng."

The innkeeper said, "Oh? From your accent, I thought you were from Bianjing?"

The old housekeeper smiled and said: "I have been growing up for half my life, and I have never been to Bianjing."

The owner of the inn said: "I heard that Marquis Wanxin is going to Fengying to be the governor, so he should pass by us."

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "I've heard about it too, but Marquis Wan Xin should have arrived at Feng camp, right?"

The owner of the inn said: "According to reliable information, Marquis Wanxin has not shown up yet."

The old housekeeper said: "You still have this news here."

The owner of the inn said: "There are many people here, and there is all kinds of news every day."

The old housekeeper said: "Do you want him to live with you?"

The owner of the inn said: "It's best to stay here, so that I can entertain the Marquis. Huh? I heard that he looks like a man from heaven descending to earth. Many people who come to stay at my hotel want to meet this Marquis." Where's the father?"

The old housekeeper said: "Most of the rumors are untrue. No matter how good-looking this person is, he is still born in a mortal body and raised by his parents. It is surprising that he will not go anywhere."

The owner of the inn said, "Huh? That's a bad statement. People who have come to my place and seen the Marquis say it is extraordinary. I wonder if I will have the chance to feast my eyes on it."

The old housekeeper looked at the small-eyed innkeeper and didn't know what to say. He could understand that he wanted to see the Marquis' woman. What could a grown man like him expect? The old housekeeper said: "There is no way here. If you don’t have a shop behind you, you can’t come here, right?”

The owner of the inn said: "That's not necessarily true. If you want to take a smooth road, you have to pass by me. But according to Mr. Hou's strange character, it is really easy to take a rough path."

The old housekeeper burst out laughing after hearing this.

The innkeeper also laughed, and the old housekeeper went upstairs without having much conversation with the innkeeper.

Wan Lengxing lay down as soon as he saw the bed. Everyone thought he was asleep. After everyone who was looking at him had left, he asked the entourage: "How do you think I look?"
