Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

In the early morning of the next day, the dawn broke, and everyone woke up to the crowing of roosters.

After washing and dressing, Ye Huaiyunfu pushed open the door and saw Jiang Linxu standing in a daze in the corridor with two thick dark circles under his eyelids.

Ye Huaiyun stepped forward, "Lin..."

But as soon as he uttered the first word, Jiang Linxu trembled exaggeratedly in fright, which made Ye Huaiyun even more confused, "What's the matter?"

"I suspect that this inn...is haunted." Jiang Linxu turned his head and said weakly: "I was lying on the bed last night, and I always felt that there was something on the roof staring at me, and the eyeballs were still shining. I was so scared I couldn't sleep all night."

Chu Tingyun didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said seriously: "It's not bad to have this kind of monster. It is said that it is called under the patio, and it lives in the shade of the roof and feeds on the anger of the living."

"Ah?" Jiang Linxu's lips turned pale when he heard the words, and tremblingly said: "Is there really?"

Chu Tingyun met his slack pupils and nodded hopelessly, which scared Jiang Linxu enough.Only Ye Huaiyun could see clearly that there was always a playful smile on Chu Tingyun's brows, and he couldn't laugh or cry at this person who was more and more fond of jokes.

While they were talking, the door of the next room suddenly opened, "Actually, I guess..."

"Ah!" Jiang Linxu, who had just been frightened by Chu Tingyun, who was mentally sensitive and fragile, screamed again.

"..." Thinking of last night's experience, the same scene was reenacted for the second time, and the shopkeeper looked at Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun with some self-doubt, "I look scary?"

Jiang Linxu saw clearly that it was him, covered his heart with one hand, and quickly apologized to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled nonchalantly, spoke in a gentle voice, and continued what was cut off just now: "Actually, I guess what you saw on the roof should be my cat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black cat with bright black fur jumped down from some beam, just in time for the shopkeeper to reach out and catch it with his arms.

Looking at the black cat's gem-like blue eyes, Jiang Linxu suddenly felt that he was scared for nothing last night.

"And what the guest officer said just now is from Fusang Country." The shopkeeper continued to explain to him: "According to the logic, it shouldn't come across the sea to Zhiyang County to scare people."

Only then did Jiang Linxu put his heart into his stomach completely, and secretly decided that after arriving in Zhiyang County, he would have to catch up on sleep for a whole day!

When everyone packed up and prepared to check out, the shopkeeper also packed a cloth bag and stood at the gate, stroking the soft fur on the back of the black cat with his right hand, and relocked the inn gate.

Seeing this, Ye Huaiyun was puzzled, "The shopkeeper is going on a long trip?"

"Yuanmen doesn't count." The shopkeeper said, "But I want to follow everyone into the city."

Ye Huaiyun naturally understood that he was going to take a ride, nodded immediately and said, "No problem."

The shopkeeper unceremoniously put the burden on the carriage, and said: "Actually, what I mean is, I will follow you wherever you go in the future."

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun were stunned at the same time, and asked: "But we met once, and the shopkeeper doesn't even know who we are, so why did he decide to set off with us?"

"Just because the two gentlemen rescued me last night, I can be sure that the two are chivalrous." The shopkeeper said: "And I also thought about the question you asked last night, I am just a weak scholar. The inn is really not safe. If another enemy comes to the door, this worthless little life will be lost in the blink of an eye."

"So?" Chu Tingyun asked.

"So at least you can save your life by following the two of you." The shopkeeper smiled brazenly, and got into the carriage in no time.

"..." Ye Huaiyun glanced at Chu Tingyun speechlessly, "What kind of situation is this?"

Chu Tingyun shrugged, "It's not easy to meet someone thicker than me."

But Jiang Linxu was very happy about this, at least the shopkeeper was handsome and elegant, like a young man.More importantly, not scaring him with ghost stories is much better than Chu Tingyun who has no self-awareness as a righteous brother at all.

The wheels drove slowly towards Zhiyang County, and one person and one cat in the carriage could not be driven away.

Ye Huaiyun then lifted the curtain from the outside, "What's the shopkeeper's name?"

"Duan Ye." The shopkeeper said, "Just call me by my name."

Ye Huaiyun nodded, "Brother Duan, the two of us want to ask you something."

"Young Master Ye is polite, but it's okay to ask." Duan Ye said politely, but his hands skillfully found two boxes of tamarind cakes from the hidden compartment on the wall of the car, and used them unceremoniously to feed his beloved cat .

Seeing that Chu Tingyun's eyes were about to burst into flames, Ye Huaiyun quickly patted him on the back to comfort him.After confirming that Chu Tingyun would not snatch things from Duan Ye in a fit of anger, he said, "I heard that bandits are infested in the outer mountains of Zhiyang County. I don't know what's going on recently?"

Duan Ye devoted himself to feeding his black cat, thought for a while and said, "It's true, but banditry happened before."

"Previously there were quite a few bandits on the two hills in the west and south of the city in Zhiyang County. They made a living by looting houses nearby. Even my inn was robbed many times." Duan Ye said: "But about five months ago, Lord Ding, the governor of Zhiyang County, issued an official document saying that the bandits had been eradicated by the government, and since then, no one has been robbed inside or outside the city."

Ye Huaiyun followed his words and said, "It seems that Zhiyang County Sheriff is a good official."

"It's not bad." Duan Ye did not blindly agree, commenting: "It's not very good, but at least I have never done evil things."

What he said was vague, and Ye Huaiyun couldn't help asking: "Why don't you say it's not very good?"

Duan Ye said: "I only know that he has never done evil things, but I don't know if he has done good things, so I can't arbitrarily say that he must be a good official."

"And I say it's okay, because for ordinary people like me who are struggling to make ends meet, it is enough that the magistrate has not done evil things. As for whether he is a good official or not, it is up to the court censor to judge." Duan Ye rubbed the soft fur on the black cat's forehead, and asked with a smile, "Are the two young masters right?"

Jiang Linxu was already dazzled by his good or bad words, but Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun's brows moved slightly at the same time, suddenly feeling that it might not be a bad thing to take such a person together on the journey.

Facing his rhetorical question, Ye Huaiyun narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "That's the truth."

When the city gate guards in Zhiyang County inspected the carriage, they were stricter than every city they had passed through before, and they even required everyone to show their identity certificates before allowing them to pass.

Duan Ye looked at the businessman's certificate in Ye Huaiyun's hand, and couldn't help taking a second look, "The two brothers are also businessmen?"

"That's right." Ye Huaiyun said what they had prepared early in the morning: "I did some small businesses in the capital before but couldn't gain a foothold, so I wanted to come to Zhiyang County to find another business opportunity."

Hearing this, Duan Ye threw his cat aside casually, sat next to the two of them, and said extremely excitedly: "Then you took me with you, you really picked up a treasure! When it comes to business opportunities, no one compares me This innkeeper, who is used to businessmen, is more familiar."

Before Duan Ye almost leaned into Ye Huaiyun's ear to speak, Chu Tingyun asked indifferently, "For example?"

Duan Ye took out a folding fan from his wide sleeves and unfolded it, the old god was there, "Business opportunities, generally speaking, the most lively places are the most profitable."

As he spoke, he opened the curtain with a paper fan. Not far away, there happened to be a large group of people standing in front of a bulletin board, discussing something with each other.

Duan Ye pushed his chin at them, motioning them to look out of the car, "For example, it's very lively here."

"Stop, stop!" Duan Ye ordered the driver without treating himself as an outsider.

After the wheels stopped on the side of the road, he immediately squeezed into the crowd with the black cat in his arms.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun shook their heads at this man's nonsensical behavior, but they still understood the situation in Zhiyang County, got out of the car and followed closely behind.

Standing outside the crowded crowd, the two of them probably figured out the cause of the incident just by listening to the chatter of the people around them.

It turned out that Ding Jishui, the governor of Zhiyang County, suddenly contracted a strange disease more than half a month ago, and was in a trance every day.Since then, the magistrate's wife has invited famous doctors around, but none of them can cure Ding Jishui.After more than half a month like this, the magistrate's wife finally had nowhere to go, and posted a notice in the city asking for a lot of money to seek medical treatment.

No matter who, as long as Ding Jishui's strange disease can be cured, she is willing to donate half of her family property.

"This county magistrate's wife is really generous." Chu Tingyun said such a sentence suddenly when he heard someone talking.

Half of the family property is probably enough for him to build two or three mansions in Zhiyang County.

Suddenly, the already noisy crowd burst into several exclamations as if suddenly boiling.

The two subconsciously raised their heads and looked forward. In front of the bulletin board, a hand lightly took off the list of seeking medical treatment with a lot of money.In the next second, Duan Ye struggled to squeeze out again under the watchful eyes of the melon-eating crowd.

Ye Huaiyun looked at him, the piece of paper in Duan Ye's hand, what is it if it's not a notice to seek a doctor?

"How did brother Duan reveal the list?"

Duan Ye folded the crumpled notice, raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course it's for Brother Ye."

"For us?" Ye Huaiyun was confused.

"Yes." Duan Ye continued to stroke his black cat, taking it for granted, "Didn't Brother Ye say he wanted to find business opportunities to make money? Half of the family property of the Zhiyang County Sheriff will definitely allow Brother Ye to earn enough at once!"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

He was choked by Duan Ye's novel brain circuit, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he should explain: "But the two of us are not good at medicine."

Duan Ye didn't care much about "嗐", and then stopped asking their opinions, and stuffed the folded notice into Ye Huaiyun's hands, "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, who hasn't ordered to fool people?" What about your skills. Brother Ye, come with me, I will definitely help you two get this money!"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

cheat? !

How do you think they met a rogue?
