Chapter 17 Suiyang Pavilion

That night, the two of them kept walking westwards. When it was dawn, a city appeared in front of them.

"There is Sui Yang ahead." Chi Xue'e pointed to the city at the end of the horizon, facing the morning light and said to Xiang Ye: "Let's go there to find a house to rest. You and I have both wounds on their bodies. We cannot travel a long distance. This is a thousand miles away from Xingyang. I am not in a hurry to see the governor Li immediately. If you have no urgent matters, let's take a rest here to recover the wounds on your body."

Xiang Ye nodded at the city wall in the distance, Chi Xue'e's words were exactly what he thought. After a bloody battle in Li County, he left the battlefield in a coma. Yu Fanjun, who regarded him as his brother, had no idea of ​​life and death. It must be a disaster.

If he was separated from Chi Xue'e now, he really didn't know where to go. Uncle and nephew Xiang Liang had left Jiangdong and raised the anti-Qin Yi flag. The Qin Dynasty was like a pile of eggs. As long as he applied a little external force, it would collapse instantly. The tranquility today is just a sign of the coming of a storm. At this time, if the only son was walking in the world, it would be unsafe wherever he went.

Instead of meeting the rioters who were killed, it would be better to follow Chi Xue'e. Although Sanchuan County will fall sooner or later, it will not be so fast after all. First, it will be safe for one day and make plans for the future.

Xiang Ye was not a person who liked to take the initiative to fight. In the past, he always thought that everything was better to go with the flow. Since he couldn't figure out the future, it would be better not to worry about it. Just wait for it to happen.

Although Xiang Ye, who studied history, knows a lot about Chu and Han, he has never seen his name in any history book. When traveling to this era, he is not most concerned about the fate of kings, princes, generals, heroes, and heroes. What he cares about most is his own future.

He once tried to recall every lesson about the history of Chu and Han, and tried to recall all the books about the history of Chu and Han, and wanted to find clues about the name "Xiang Ye" from these materials.

In the end, he failed and did not find any useful clues from his memory. All he could do was to use the knowledge he had learned to avoid the place where the war broke out, and not get caught in war or massacre, and strive to live longer.

Xiang Ye is very realistic. Although he is a person who travels from modern times to ancient times and is also a student in the history department, he never thinks that the things he learned in books will have any effect on him.

The history in the book is just a broad introduction, and what is said is the actions of the big figures. The common people have always used as a set and prelude. Since there is no information about him in the literature, he must be just a small figure. As a small figure, the most important thing is that he has lived for decades of life. What is the struggle for the world and the ups and downs of the wind and clouds are completely incompatible with him.

Seeing that the city wall was already very close, it took a lot of time to walk. The two of them urged the mule and the little donkey to leave for half an hour before they arrived at the city gate.

"Madam Yan!" As soon as the two arrived at the city gate, an officer walked towards them.

The officer was wearing Chu army's armor. After seeing Chi Xue'e, he clasped his fists and arched at her and said, "I wonder what good things have you brought to us when I am here today?"

Chi Xue'e smiled at the officer, and said with a sad expression: "General, don't joke. I'll see that I'm here alone and I know that this time I'm lucky. Where else will I bring you?"

"Oh?" The officer looked at Chi Xue'e in confusion, his lips moved as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.

"General, I am tired and want to go to the city to find a house to rest. Let's say goodbye first!" Chi Xue'e bowed to the officer and led Xiang Ye into the city.

Suiyang City is not very big, and it was just occupied by the Chu army, and the city seemed very depressed. The hawkers who used to sell on the streets disappeared, and even the few pedestrians on the road were rare. Occasionally, they saw one or two pedestrians, but when they saw Chi Xue'e and Xiang Ye, they hid far away as if they had seen ghosts.

"What's going on? They seem to be afraid of us!" Xiang Ye looked at the pedestrians who were avoiding from afar, frowned and asked Chi Xue'e in confusion.

Chi Xue'e smiled slightly, and did not answer his question. Instead, she pointed to a house not far ahead and said, "There is the Suiyang Pavilion in front. It seems that the door is still open to the guests. Now it is a chaotic time, so there should not be too many passers-by. I believe there will be room available, so let's go and take a look first."

Xiang Ye nodded and followed Chi Xue'e toward the hall.

"You two are here!" As soon as you entered the hall gate, the shopkeeper greeted them with a black rag on his shoulder as if he had seen his relatives. After leading them into the door, he enthusiastically wiped a low table against the wall and finally pulled the two small square mats on the ground and asked them: "Do you two want to eat something first or want to stay first?"

"Steam two kilograms of meat and another bottle of marinade. Well, bring a bowl of sunflower soup." Chi Xue'e sat down on the ground and smiled at the clerk and said, "I'll tell the shopkeeper to prepare two rooms for us."

Xiang Ye blinked and looked at Chi Xue'e after ordering the dishes, secretly glad that she didn't run to the museum. He knew the dishes she ordered, except for the meat, but he just had a concept of the other two, but he didn't know what it was.

The two waited for a while, and the guy first brought a small jar, put two bowls on the table, and said to them: "It has been a long time since the guests came here. The shopkeeper said that it is rare that the two of them would walk around in troubled times. The youngest person sent the jar of wine over. This wine is not included in the room, so they just drink it."

After saying that, he put two pairs of chopsticks on the table, spread their hands and made a gesture of inviting them, straightened his waist and walked towards the back hall.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would have some wine to stay in a shop!" Xiang Ye reached out to grab the wine jar and was about to slap Kaifeng's mouth. Chi Xue'e grabbed his wrist and shook her head at him.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Ye put down the wine jar and looked at Chi Xue'e in confusion and asked, "Did you find that there is something wrong with this wine?"

Chi Xue'e shook her head and said to him in a low voice: "It's not that there is a problem with the wine, but that you need to be careful when walking in the world. The museum sends wine over for no reason and drink it without asking. If the wine is poisoned, will you and I still have the fate to leave?"

Xiang Ye was stunned. He had never thought of such a complicated problem. In the past, when he went to a restaurant for dinner, he was eager to get more promotions. Unexpectedly, Chi Xue'e, who had seen the free wine, had doubts about the museum.

Not long after, the guy brought up a copper cauldron, put the copper cauldron on the low table and then opened the lid. Suddenly, a strong fragrance overflowed.

Xiang Ye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but sigh: "It smells so good!"

"Haha." The guy put the lid of the copper tripod aside and said to Xiang Ye: "This young man is really aware of goods. The marinade in our museum is the most famous in Suiyang City. It has a strong fragrance and a lubricating entrance. Many past merchants like it very much."

"Uh!" Xiang Ye nodded, put his hands together and rubbed them. When he wanted to try the sauce in the cauldron, he suddenly found that there was nothing that could hold porridge on the table except for two pairs of chopsticks.

He raised his head helplessly and looked at the guy standing beside him with a smile on his face and muttered to Tongding.

The guy looked at him in confusion at first. When he looked at the stew in the copper tripod, he quickly slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to get the spoon. Please wait a moment, the younger one will go and get the spoon."

After saying that, the guy ran back to the back hall.

Xiang Ye shrugged at Chi Xue'e helplessly, and said, "Is this what the guys here are like before? How can you forget everything?"

"Did you bring food?" Chi Xue'e did not answer Xiang Ye's question, but frowned and asked him.

"Yes." Xiang Ye took out the cloth bag wrapped in maize from his arms and said, "I thought it would take a long time to go, so I brought more food."

"Yeah!" Chi Xue'e nodded to him and said in a low voice: "I'll let the guy bring food into the guest room later. Sleep tonight and don't take the evil one's way!"

Xiang Ye didn't say anything, but just looked at the snow-white and white boiled in the copper cauldron and swallowed a few saliva.

For some reason, it only took less than a day to know Chi Xue'e, but he had an indescribable trust in the woman in front of him. Since she said she wanted to bring the food into the room, let's listen to her. At most, she missed a delicious meal, but her life would not be threatened.

After a moment, the guy brought two spoons up, stood aside with a smile on his face and waited for the two to eat.

Chi Xue'e reached into her arms and touched her, then frowned and looked around the ground behind her as if she had lost something.

"What did this girl lose? Can the villain help you find it?" The guy saw Chi Xue'e searching back and forth in a panic look, as if she had lost something very important, and quickly asked with concern.

"Brother, did you see my wallet when we entered the door?" When Chi Xue'e asked this, Xiang Ye was a little confused about whether it was true or not. The panic expression on her face made people almost unable to see any flaws.

"No!" The guy shook his head, and Xiang Ye, who was sitting beside him, found a flash of loss in his eyes.

"Brother, I lost my wallet. I'm afraid I don't have enough money for two rooms. Is there a cheaper room?" Chi Xue'e touched her chest as if she wanted to take out the wallet and looked at the clerk with a bitter face.

"You won't really lose the money, right?" Xiang Ye was shocked when he heard Chi Xue'e say that he lost the money. He really regretted that he forgot to grab a handful of precious gems when he left the wilderness.
