Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 53 Warm Hospitality

The weather was getting colder day by day. One day when Li Xu got out of the carriage, he found that there was frost. A gust of cold wind went straight to his neckline. It was so cold that he couldn't hold back the urge to pee.

They didn't find a place to stay overnight last night, so a group of people spent the night in the mountains. Li Xu was fine and could lie in the carriage. The Habayashi soldiers and servants could only sleep around the campfire. Fortunately, they had thick wool sleeping bags , so that they had a good night's sleep.

Lei Yang and his group also realized the benefits of the sleeping bag, and when they knew it was designed by Li Xu, they praised him fiercely.Li Xu braved the cold wind and went to the woods to solve his physical problems, and when he came back, he saw a pretty girl coming to wash him with hot water. This girl has been very fond of Li Xu recently, and she let her serve her meals and clothes.

After washing up, Li Xu ate a bowl of hot sugar porridge, the heat warmed from his stomach to his heart, and the day really started.

"My lord, the temperature has dropped today, so you can add another coat." The girl persuaded with a thin padded jacket in her hand.

Li Xu wore three pieces, and that was the number when she was the coldest in her previous life. Looking at the thickness of the padded jacket she was holding, she refused to wear it anyway, and only agreed to wear a fur cloak outside.

To be honest, compared to the pink and willow greens before, the four maids sent by Wan Chunlin are really good maids. They have water to drink when they are thirsty and food when they are hungry, as if they are always ready.

If he didn't know that they were Wan Chunlin's people, Li Xu really wanted to keep them by his side.

Lin Zhao walked over and saw the maid was tidying up Li Xu's clothes, he paused. Many of them's skin was dry and peeling during the journey, and their originally fair complexion became much darker, but His Royal Highness It's like walking around your own back garden, but it's still brilliant.

Especially after having a few more maids, His Highness's life became more refined and picky. He was always decent no matter what, and his whole body exuded a noble and unattainable temperament.

"What's the matter?" Li Xu turned to ask him.

Lin Zhao came back to his senses, coughed, and asked: "The team can reach Yuhang today, and it's time to enter the mountains further south. Finally, the general wants to ask, can the extra quilts and jackets be sold in Yuhang?"

Li Xu nodded, "I have this plan, and I just need to buy some medicinal materials and food, so let's stop in Yuhang for three days."

Lin Zhao is very good at thinking for Li Xu now. If it wasn't for his sense of mission, he would have taken refuge in Prince Shun. He knew in his heart that King Shun had cleared his family's property last time in order to make bows and arrows and buy horses for them. The food expenses for this journey all come from selling quilts and jackets.

It can be said that it was King Shun who raised their Habayashi army.

It stands to reason that the Yubayashi Army is charged with the emperor's orders, and there are travel expenses for business trips. Lin Zhao carried a lot of gold and silver with him, but when he fell into the water last time, the gold and silver disappeared, and there was nowhere to get them back halfway. , can only wait to return to the capital and then apply for funds.

Don't look at the bullishness of officials, but their salaries are not high, and their families do not rely on salaries, but on family subsidies and corruption and bribery when they were officials.

Li Xu knew that it was impossible to be clean and honest in the officialdom, but he was not from this era, and lacked the most intuitive impression of the officials of this era.

When he arrived in Yuhang, Li Xu was still warmly received. Hundreds of officials, big and small, blocked the gate of the city. As soon as Li Xu's team arrived, there was a burst of firecrackers, followed by gongs and drums to warm up the scene. The wave dance welcome is even more stylish than the state president's visit.

The county magistrate of Yuhang trotted over in his official uniform, with a smile on his chubby Maitreya Buddha-like face, and a strong local dialect when he spoke.

After entering the city gate, there was a yamen servant clearing the way, and there was no idler on the street. The fat county magistrate led Li Xu all the way into a private manor. Li Xu secretly became vigilant. If Wan Chunlin wanted to do something, then tonight would definitely be the best opportunity.

Yuhang belongs to Yangzhou Prefecture, and the fat county magistrate is probably also from Wan Chunlin's faction. After passing Yuhang, it will be even more difficult to attack them when they enter the mountains.

Li Xu didn't show it on his face, but just told He Zun to be careful, it's best to tell everyone not to touch the drinks at the banquet.

"The prince's visit to the humble house really makes the humble house flourish." Li Xu glanced at the large manor with an area of ​​several kilometers, and sneered in his heart: If this can be called a humble house, then his house in his previous life would be a doghouse.

"Where is it? My lord's place is very exquisite. I'm afraid it cost a lot of money to build it?"

The Fat County Magistrate said modestly: "Where is it? It's just an ordinary residence, not worth mentioning."

Li Xu was thinking about whether he could scrape off a layer of oil from He Pang County Magistrate's body, when the other party smiled at him, and pointed his arm to the hall, "I have prepared a small gift for the prince, I hope the prince will accept it with a smile."

Hehe, it’s really good, Li Xu walked over with great interest, and first saw two rows of young men and women, all of them were dressed up in seductive ways, and they all wrote "I'm here to sell" on their bodies. word.

Li Xu's eyes lingered on those young men for a moment, and he was even more convinced that the fat county magistrate had an affair with Wan Chunlin, even the tricks were similar, probably because he didn't have sex with that strong man all the way, which made Wan Chun Lin knew that he had lied, and was about to start another wave of beauty tricks. What a pity, how could Li Xu like this kind of thirteen or fourteen-year-old underage boys and girls?
