The Invincible Sixth Prince

After getting Yun Zheng's assurance, Lan Hua stammered and told the truth.

Because Yun Zheng issued a manifesto to the imperial court, Wu Dao and his men thought that Yun Zheng was about to go to war with the imperial court.

Wu Dao was afraid of being affected by the war, so he decided to take his whole family to Shuofang to seek refuge with Wu Qingyang.

As a result, they all passed the Beilu Pass, but obeyed the merchants from inside the pass, so Yun Zheng and the court did not fight.

Moreover, it seems that Yun Zheng really helped the court catch the treacherous officials.

It is said that someone seemed to be deliberately provoking the relationship between the imperial court and Yun Zheng, wanting Yun Zheng to go to war with the imperial court.

Later, Yun Zheng and the imperial court caught that man, and many people in the imperial city lost their heads because of this incident.

This result was obviously beyond the expectations of Wu Dao and others.

Originally they wanted to return to Juping, but then they thought, since they had already passed the Beilu Pass, they might as well go to Shuofang!

This will prevent you from having to go through so much trouble if something similar happens in the future.

After making the decision, they continued to head towards Shuofang and arrived in Le'an more than ten days ago.

“Is this Le An?”

Looking at Le'an in front of him, Lan Hua in the carriage couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Wasn't this Le'an built just two years ago?"

Lan Hua couldn't believe her eyes.

On their way here, they heard from others that there was a town called Le'an on the road from Beilu Pass to Shuofang.

It is said that many people in Le'an Town fled here due to the floods in the south a few years ago.

They always thought that Le'an Town was a poor and dilapidated town.

However, the Le'an in front of us is clearly a small town!

Moreover, the city gate was bustling with people coming and going and traffic.

If it weren't for the two big words "Le'an" clearly written above the city gate, she would have suspected that they had come to the wrong place.

"Let's go into the city first!"

Wu Dao was also a little surprised. "We are in a hurry along the way. Let's rest in Le'an for two days before leaving. Anyway, we can reach Shuofang before the New Year."

"Well, it's time to take a break."

Madam Wu nodded gently, "Shuobei is much colder than the interior of the country, let's buy some clothes in Le'an!"

After passing Beilu Pass, the weather suddenly felt much colder and they were a little uncomfortable with the weather.

"it is good!"

Wu Dao nodded slightly.

Soon they arrived at the city gate.

After being checked, they entered the city smoothly.

After entering the city, Lan Hua couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the carriage and look out.

"Uncle, look outside!"

Lan Hua screamed.

"what happened?"

Wu Dao looked at Lan Hua in confusion and lifted the curtain on the other side of the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Wu Dao was stunned.

Outside, there are shops everywhere, people are busy, merchants are coming and going in an endless stream, and it is a prosperous scene with heavy traffic.

Is this Le'an?

Is this really a town that was only started to be built three years ago?

"How is this possible... this..."

Wu Dao stared at the scene outside in dumbfoundedness, muttering to himself constantly.

In his impression, the bitter cold in northern Shuobei and the continuous wars should have made the place a desolate place with few people to be seen on the streets.

Those shops were also deserted.

But there is no trace of depression in the scene before my eyes!

Mrs. Wu also looked outside in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a long time, Wu Dao came back to his senses, with a strange look in his eyes, "Let's find an inn to settle down first!"

Soon, they saw an inn.

Unfortunately, a sign saying "Closed" was hung outside the inn.

After that, they looked for several inns in succession, but either they were full or could not accommodate so many people.

After searching for almost an hour and a half, they finally found an inn called "Yue Lai Inn".

This inn can accommodate all of them, but the price is a bit high.

Of course, this inn is also quite luxurious, and it is obvious that it is an inn for wealthy merchants to stay in.

"It's okay if it's a little expensive! Don't bother with it, just stay here!"

Wu Dao really didn't want to look for a place anymore, so he decided to stay here.

After completing the registration and paying the room fee, they were finally able to move into the inn.

As soon as they entered the room, they instantly felt that the money was well spent.

Although the room is not big, it has everything it needs, and the sheets and quilts are very clean and have a faint fragrance.

The waiter kindly helped them light the fireplace in the house and said politely: "If there is no firewood in the fireplace, just let us know."

"it is good!"

Wu Dao smiled with satisfaction, then pointed to a wooden box on a shelf nearby and asked, "Whose luggage was left here?"

"no no……"

The waiter shook his head and smiled: "These are some supplies that our store specially prepared for VIPs, but they will cost money. I was just about to introduce them to you, sir!"

"Oh?"

Wu Dao became interested, "What's in here?"

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will introduce them to you one by one."

As the waiter spoke, he took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the box, and introduced them to them one by one.

"This is a toothbrush. It is made of the finest horsetail and ox bones. It is specially used to clean teeth. It has the same function as the willow branch..."

"This is tooth powder, made from fragrant resin, charcoal powder, bone powder, vanilla, etc...."

"This is soap..."

"This is shampoo..."

"This is top-grade wolf hair..."

“This is incense…”

The waiter introduced the items in the box to them one by one, praised them highly and told them their prices.

Lan Hua made a rough calculation and found that it would cost about five hundred taels of silver to buy all the items in the box!

Suddenly, Lan Hua felt like a country bumpkin who had never been to the city.

Compared with these things, the room rate of this inn is really quite cheap.

Black shop!

This is simply a shady shop!

"Okay, lock it up. We can't afford these things."

Mrs. Wu waved to the waiter.

"Don't, don't!"

Wu Dao raised his hand to stop them, walked forward and took a closer look, then smiled with satisfaction, "We want all these things!"

"Why are you spending this money?" Mrs. Wu was unhappy. "We just came to Shuobei and don't even have any income. If you waste money like this, even if we have a mountain of gold at home, you will spend it all!"

"fine."

Wu Dao waved his hand, "They are all useful things, just treat it as something new!"

In fact, many of the things here are not outrageously expensive.

The most expensive items are the top-quality wolf-hair brushes and scented ink that Wu Dao likes.

This high-quality wolf-hair brush is sometimes hard to find even when you want to buy it.

And this scented ink has a fresh fragrance and you can tell it’s a good thing at first glance.

Wu Dao was a scholar. Although he had many fine pens and inks, he always wanted to buy good ones when he saw them.

Sometimes giving these things as gifts to others doesn't make them look cheap or tacky.

If you want to buy something else to give as a gift, the price will be much higher than this and it will seem tacky.

Even if you don't give it to others, you can keep it as a treasure...
