The carriage wobbled and bumped along the way.

Chu Ran squinted her eyes in a daze while holding the package in her arms. She was really sleepy, and the corners of her eyes twitched and even faintly wet.

"Brother, why do we set off so early in the morning?" He could sleep until he woke up naturally before setting off for Yangcheng!

Sitting on the other side of the carriage was Shen Zhoulan who was throwing beans into his mouth.

The handsome young man in purple with a pair of fox eyes grinned at him, "Of course it's because..."

"Huh?" Chu Ran looked at him.

"The early bird catches the worm!"

Chu Ran said blankly, "Hehe." Sorry, I don't eat bugs!

At this moment, Chu Jing, who was riding a horse outside the car window, obviously heard the conversation between the two, and said to Chu Ran, "Brother, don't pay attention to that guy. If you are tired, go to sleep for a while. I will call you when you arrive at the inn!"

Chu Ran looked at Shen Zhoulan in embarrassment when he heard the words, but saw that he was lying on the window of the car without paying attention, and looked at Chu Jing with a smile and said, "It's so sad, brother Chu Jing, how could you treat me like this?" Anyone can hear the ridicule.

Chu Jing outside the car window turned dark, gritted his teeth and glared at him, flicked his whip on the horse's buttocks, and rode the horse to the front, obviously wanting to keep out of sight and out of mind.

"Hey, today's young people just have a big temper!" Shen Zhoulan stretched his head back with emotion, and started throwing beans into his mouth to play again.

Chu Ran who has witnessed everything: "..."

He really couldn't understand these two people. They are usually not narrow-minded people, but when they meet each other, there are always sparks everywhere. Don't get me wrong, the sparks here are not like small flames of love...

But Chu Ran was also quite surprised. Chu Jing seemed to hate Shen Zhoulan very much on the surface. After all, every time they met, they would fight each other, but what was surprising was that he did not refuse Shen Zhoulan's desire to be together. A request to go to Yangcheng.

Even when Shen Zhoulan shouted early in the morning to hurry on the road, she was not very angry, even though her face was darkened, she still got up without complaint and went to pack her things.

Chu Ran couldn't understand, did Chu Jing like or hate Shen Zhoulan?

But remembering that Chu Jing often hangs around the Qinlou Chu Pavilion with his friends, Chu Ran thought, Chu Jing should like beautiful girls. Of course, Chu Ran will be slapped in the face by his own thoughts in the future.

The three of them traveled for a whole day, and thanks to Shen Zhoulan's blessing, they finally entered the gate of Yangcheng in the evening.

The front foot of the carriage entered the city gate, and the rear foot of the Yangcheng city gate was closed.

Chu Ran, who witnessed this scene, was a little puzzled, "Is it so early to close the gate of Yangcheng?"

No wonder he was surprised, after all, it was not dark yet, not to mention Mausoleum City, even the capital of Ling Kingdom would only close its gates at Haishi every day, but at this moment, the gates of Yangcheng were actually closed just after Youshi Yes, it's surprising.

Shen Zhoulan seemed to be inadvertent when he heard his words: "Although Yangcheng is named after the word 'Yang', in fact, there have been rumors since ancient times that Yangcheng is the junction of the ghost world and the human world, so some people call it Yang." The city is a ghost city, and I heard that the ghost gates will only appear in Yangcheng, so Yangcheng has an unwritten rule that the gates of the city are closed at You hour every day, and the curfew ends at Hai hour."

Chu Ran was a little terrified when he heard it. He never expected that there were ghosts, but he was still surprised and said: "Brother, how did you know about this?" It is really surprising that people who were born and bred in the Western Regions, who have never been to the Central Plains, are so clear about it.

Shen Zhoulan leaned lazily on the soft pillow, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the small table and began to chew, "When I went out a few days ago, I heard Mr. Shu talk about it in the teahouse."

"...Mr. Storyteller is really well-informed and knows everything." A flash of inspiration flashed in Chu Ran's mind, and he suddenly asked him: "So, brother, it's because I know that Yangcheng will close the city gate at Youshi, so I want to go early." Are you on your way?"

Shen Zhoulan waved his hand, "Then you overestimate me, I've already forgotten about this."

Chu Ran: "..." Only ghosts will believe it!

However, this does correspond to Shen Zhoulan's saying that the early bird catches the worm.

He could have seen just now that many people were stopped outside the city gate. Outside of Yangcheng, there were deep mountains and old forests, so all of these people had to sleep outside without accident.

Thinking of the ghost city theory that Shen Zhoulan had just said, Chu Ran shuddered, not daring to think about it, but said that today is still a bit lucky.

But Chu Ran didn't expect that luck would run out sometimes. For example, at this moment, the three of them were standing in front of the counter of the third inn, looking at the shopkeeper's embarrassed smile.

Probably because of the forthcoming martial arts conference, the number of visitors from outside Yangcheng increased dramatically, so that the inn rooms in the city were already full. The inn the three of them were standing in now was already the third one they had found today.

"The three young masters are really sorry. There are only two rooms left in the small shop. If the three don't dislike it, why don't you squeeze in?" The innkeeper smiled flatteringly and asked the three in a discussion people.

The three of Chu Ran looked at each other, and finally settled on the last two rooms.

But on the matter of room allocation, they disagreed.

Shen Zhoulan gave a light hack, "Since this is the case, then I should be wronged and squeeze with Brother Ran, shall I?"

Chu Ran had no objection, but just as he was about to nod his head in response, Chu Jing objected sharply: "How is this possible? My elder brother is a family man, so how can he sleep with you? What if you have evil intentions? ?I disagree!"

Chu Ran was choked by Chu Jing's words "have a family", and the corner of her mouth twitched, feeling a little helpless.

Shen Zhoulan was probably a little sleepy indeed, and his usually good temper was now angry, "Then you and your elder brother live in the same room?"

Chu Jing still frowned, "How can that be? My elder brother sleeps lightly, and I'm afraid I'll disturb his rest!"

Shen Zhoulan gritted his teeth and stared at Chu Jing, "Then what do you think!"

Chu Jing was silent for a moment, "You and I live in the same room."

"I disagree!"

This time it was Shen Zhoulan who objected.

Chu Ran on the side had a headache, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Shut up!"

Chu Jing: "..."

Shen Zhoulan glanced at Chu Jing, "Hmph!"

In the end, at Chu Jing's insistence, Shen Zhoulan reluctantly agreed to live in the same room with him.

But it was agreed on the basis that he slept on the bed and Chu Jing slept on the ground with his bedding.

The air finally calmed down, Chu Ran went back to her room, thumping her shoulders that were sore from sitting on the horse and rushing, took a hot bath, and took an early rest.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Chu Ran was awakened by the noise.
