Wulong Inn

The sun scorched the earth, and the warm wind rolled over, bringing up a burst of dust.The light blurs people's vision, as if everything is unreal.

A line of trains came from a distance on the straight official road, which could not be seen clearly in the dazzling light. When it approached slowly, it could be seen that it was composed of two carriages and eighteen guards.The eighteen guards in cavalry surrounded the carriage in a formation of [-]. Their expressions were serious and their formation was neat. They seemed not to be affected by the high temperature at all. They were well-trained and could deter the crowd. .

The shape of the carriage is very rough and majestic. From the selection of materials to the workmanship, it is mainly simple and durable. It shows a kind of masculine toughness everywhere. Only the bright yellow curtains on the windows that are blown up by the wind can still reveal it. A little brisk, slightly diluting the feeling of being too tough.A pennant was planted in front of the car, and a strong and powerful "Luo" was written on it.Chasing the gap revealed by the raised veil and looking inward, I saw a pair of agile eyes looking out through the slightly opened gap.

As soon as the curtain was drawn, Luo Shuyao leaned back on the cushion next to her in disappointment. Outside there were only stones and dirt roads, and there was no good scenery at all. She ate the fruit handed by the maid and looked to the side in dissatisfaction. His father said, "Really, the road is already boring, and Dianmo is a boring gourd. Now even my father doesn't talk to me!"

As if being overwhelmed by the girl's powerful resentment, Master Luo, who was out of his mind, finally came back to his senses, and said to the girl in harmony: "It's a long road, Shuyao is bored."

"It's boring! It's boring!" The girl complained loudly, then pulled Master Luo's sleeve and said angrily, "What's wrong with Dad? Ever since he entered the Cangzhou Realm, he's always been distracted and didn't follow him." Shuyao speak!"

Without answering the girl's question, Master Luo raised the curtain, looked out, and smiled at the girl in a blink of an eye: "So I have passed Wulong Ridge, and I will spend the night at the Wulong Inn tonight, and I will cross the Xiaoqing River tomorrow." , we'll be home." Changed the subject lightly.

The girl was obviously attracted by the new topic, and she had a displeased expression on her face: "Ah~~~ I have to live in that broken inn again, Dad, it's terrible in there, let's not stay here, okay?"

"Nonsense! Those who don't go to the village, don't go to the shop, don't stay in the inn, don't they live outside!" Master Luo said lightly, seeing his daughter's grievance, he hurriedly comforted him: "Shuyao, be good, tomorrow we I'm home now, let's endure another night."

Pouted, the girl rolled her eyes and said again: "Father, why do you think we only have the Oolong Inn in Cangzhou? The accommodation conditions are not good, the food is also unpalatable, and it is open everywhere. No, there are Yuelai Inn, Yunsheng Inn, and Youpeng Inn in Guangzhongdu..." The little girl counted with her fingers, and looked at her omniscient father with big eyes, waiting for the other party to clarify .

Master Luo obviously didn't expect his daughter to ask such a question, and he just arrived after he pondered for a moment: "That Zhongdu is the capital of my Kaiyuan Kingdom, at the foot of the emperor, it is the most prosperous, and merchants from all over the world go there Gathering, plus this is the year of Chunwei, students from Kyushu gather together, there are too many people, and they all have to find a place to stay, so there are naturally more inns, we in Cangzhou can't compare."

"But there are quite a few merchants coming to our Cangzhou." The girl doubted.

"It's because of this that the other inn can't continue to open." Master Luo murmured.Seeing his daughter's puzzled face, he didn't explain, and asked again: "Weren't you very happy when you went to Zhongdu, and you said you would live there for half a year, so why did you get bored after only three months?"

The little girl's complexion changed, and she said with a guilty conscience: "Daughter just thinks that there is nothing good in Yuanzhou and Zhongdu, so it's better to be at home..."

She glanced at her daughter jokingly: "Duplicity, you can't stay idle all day long at your uncle's house, and run to Yuan's house every three days, pretending that I don't know how little you are thinking."

"Father!" The little girl looked embarrassed.

Seeing his daughter like this, Master Luo sighed secretly: "Daughter, it's okay for our family to be in Cangzhou, but it's incomparable with that. They are all aristocrats who have gone through a hundred years, and their families have high standards. You are too big, and you can’t be sloppy in choosing a wife. The folk customs in Cangzhou are bright and rough, and I don’t stick to you at ordinary times. You have a wild temper, and you can’t compare with those elegant ladies in Zhongdu. The third son of the Yuan family is very good. , but his family background, you..."

"Father, where did you think, why choose a wife's family!" The little girl looked puzzled

"Every time you go to Yuan's house, you have to inquire about the third young master, don't you mean him?" Master Luo wondered.

"What, Dad, where are you going? I have never seen Lord Yuan Xiaohou, so why would you be interested in him!" the girl said anxiously.

"Then you..." Master Luo felt that he was a little confused.

But the girl said: "Father, haven't you heard the rumors about Yuan Xiaohou?"

"What rumor?" Master Luo looked puzzled.

The girl clasped her hands together, looked at the sky at 45 degrees, and said affectionately: "It is said that he has a prominent family background, and the young man was granted the title of Marquis. It is said that he is handsome and elegant. No.1 prostitute Shen Shishi's guest of honor, legend has it that he has great martial arts skills, and there are few opponents in Jianghu... (One hundred words are omitted below), it would be a pity not to see such a character."

Then he said with a regretful face: "I went to Zhongdu originally thinking that I could see with my own eyes whether the man's body was round or flat, and whether it was really as the rumors said. Unexpectedly, after more than three months, even There are no shadows."

Master Luo was a little speechless, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You ran all the way there just to see someone?"

"Of course." The little girl took it for granted, and then said, "If I knew it, I wouldn't go there so often. People didn't see me and didn't tell me, and I brought back these logs." Looking through the window cover hatefully Glancing at the riding guards outside, the girl turned her head and said coquettishly to Master Luo: "Father, why don't we go with Xiao Anzi and the others."

Helplessly, he glanced at his daughter: "Didn't you say you wanted to come back quickly? Mr. Yuan specially arranged for the cavalry guards at home to escort them all the way. Xiao Anzi and the others wanted to escort the things you bought, and they didn't have a horse to ride. How could they go so fast?" Get up. These cavalry guards are all soldiers, so they must be more dull, and they are not as funny as your little followers."

The little girl was speechless, and leaned back on the cushion unhappily.

Master Luo said again: "Isn't this pretty good? We finished the journey of more than 20 days in less than ten days. Didn't you keep talking about your friends in Zhongzhong? We'll see you again soon."

The little girl immediately cheered up again, and smiled at her father, "I'm going to look for Sister Yue when I get back. I haven't seen you for so long, you really miss me."

Looking at the flat official road, a cavalry guard walking at the front of the convoy said to his companions: "Captain, I always feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" the 'captain' said calmly.

I just heard the cavalry guard say in a serious manner: "We all set out from Yuanzhou and Guazhou. Although there was no one who robbed them, there were quite a few young people who followed us. Why did we enter this Cangzhou territory? There are no bandits. Besides, there are so many merchants along this road, so is the business in Cangzhou really so easy to do? And what they say is in the western border and outside the region, does Cangzhou have such a place name?"

"Ah Ming," the captain glanced at the cavalry guard and said, "What did your lord tell you when you came here?"

"Shut up, move your legs more, go early and return early... Ah," Amin immediately closed his mouth as if realizing something.

But the captain said: "Our mission this time is to send Master Luo's family back safely. We didn't see or hear anything, you know."

"Oh," Na Amin responded, and then said to the captain with great interest: "Then he didn't assign you some special missions, my lord?"

The team leader looked at A Ming silently for a while, and then said: "You want to know?"

"I don't want to anymore." Swallowing his saliva, Amin said resentfully.

The two were talking when they saw a cavalry guard coming up to them on horseback, "What's the matter?" the captain asked.

"Return to your lord, Master Luo said that the Oolong Inn is in front of you, and we will rest there tonight." The horse guard replied respectfully.

"What! Staying in the Oolong Inn again!" Amin complained with a depressed face as if thinking of something bad.

Zhongdu Yuanfu

"Oh, Cen'er, you can't be gentle." A voice broke the original tranquility of the mansion, passed through the row upon row of eaves, and through the half-opened window lattice, I saw a young man lying on the bed in an unrecognizable manner, With his upper body bare, the young man in Tsing Yi applied the medicine to him with no expression on his face.Hearing the words, he said softly: "The master has ordered you to act harder, so that the young master will have a good memory, and don't hurt yourself in the future; I will have a massage in a while, so the young master should lie down quickly."

"You, you just listen to my father." The young man complained when he heard the words.Seeing that the young man was silent, he said again: "Tell me, what kind of benefits did my father give you, huh? Obviously I picked you up and provided you with food and clothing. I have never seen you listen to me like this before." If so, hello, I asked you, why didn't you answer?"

Seeing that the young man remained silent, the young man turned around suspiciously, but saw that the young man was staring out of the window intently and did not hear his words at all.The young man looked over suspiciously, but saw a middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance walking towards his room through a hand-painted corridor. "As if thinking of something, the young man's expression changed.
