Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 28: Separate into the city

Yongzhou Prefecture is about fifty miles away from Tianheng Mountain. This distance is neither long nor short.

Let's just say it's long. It only takes half a day to walk up the official road at high speed.

Let’s just say it is short. If you walk this distance, it will go so far that you will doubt your life.

"I told you not to let Hu Yue drive the car, but you didn't listen!"

Maureen complained unkemptly.

"If I were driving the car, how could something like this happen?"

Mo Lin's luggage must be the largest. They have been walking on this official road leading to Yongzhou Mansion for more than an hour.

Originally, Mo Lin was driving the train well, but Hu Yue suddenly appeared from the carriage and said he was going to catch the train.

He said that he lost at cards and was willing to admit defeat.

Asking a fourteen-year-old girl to drive a car was something Maureen couldn't do.

But Lao Lu was making noises next to him, and Yang Ming also said that he could just catch a car. Who wouldn't?

The result? She overturned the car as soon as she could burn a stick of incense.

"I didn't know that the horse was so careless that he whipped it twice and ran away."

Yes, when you are driving a car, you use a seven-star array amplified whip to whip the horse. Not to mention the horse is whipped away, it would not be surprising even if it is whipped to death.

"Are you done yet? What are you talking about? Baitu County is ahead of you. If you go there and buy another horse, it will be over!"

Lao Lu was annoyed by the noise from these little brats. When the car rolled over just now, Mo Lin held Hu Yue's hand, and Lin Ruo's footwork was unloaded and nothing happened when he landed.

The problem was that he, Lao Lu, was lying in the car taking a nap! The car suddenly overturned!

This is like drinking a small amount of wine and falling asleep. There was a bang and the car overturned.

"Lao Lu...how far is it? I'm almost exhausted."

Although Mo Lin has a lot of things, Yang Ming is the one who carries the most weight.

Yang Ming was carrying a big box from Lao Lu.

A cloth bag belonging to Lin Ruo was carried by Yang Ming.

Hu Yue's pillow doll is held by Yang Ming.

Coupled with his own financial difficulties, Yang Ming has simply become a bastard with a mountain on his back.

"Good disciple! I'll give you some water. We'll be there in about three miles."

"There are still three miles..."

Yang Ming opened his mouth, and Lao Lu poured the water from the water bag into Yang Ming's mouth. After taking a sip of water, Yang Ming finally regained some energy.

"Let's see who comes first, the finish line, or me who gets exhausted first..."

Fortunately, the three-mile journey did not exhaust Yang Ming to death. When they arrived at Baitu County, the five of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Baitu County is not far from Yongzhou Prefecture, only about ten miles away. If you take the official road, it won't take long to get there.

Fortunately, there are still a few horses available for sale in Baitu County, but carriages cannot be bought.

After all, it's just a small county, and it's already pretty good if more than 20 families can buy four horses.

Hu Yue couldn't ride a horse, so Lin Ruo took Hu Yue with him, and the five of them rode four horses straight to Yuelai Inn, a stop outside Yongzhou City.

When Yang Ming walked into Yuelai Inn, the sight in front of him shocked him.

The people in the inn lobby are not ordinary people. These people are a mixed bag of people of all kinds.

A laborer with big muscles and a round waist, a butcher with a sinister face, and a ronin with a big knife on his back.

The graceful courtesan, the cook in an apron, the tomboy pretending to be a man.

The lobby of Yuelai Inn, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is simply a living arena.

"Sir, please come in here! Do you want to work as a professional or stay in a hotel?"

"Get a suite for the men, five people."

Lao Lu walked in with a wine gourd, Yang Ming put down his things, and the sensible waiter directly gave orders to a few young and strong boys.

"Five gentlemen, please come upstairs. Go upstairs and walk inside. At the end is your suite. It's clean inside."

The waiter in the shop greeted him, and Lao Lu generously thrust two ingots of silver into his hand.

"Here we are served with delicious food and drink, man, I'm not short of money!"

"Okay! This man! Please!"

When the waiter saw Qian, he was so respectful, nodding and bowing, that he almost kowtowed to Lao Lu.

The suite is indeed clean enough, and you can no longer hear the noisy sounds in the lobby when you get inside. There are two rooms in the suite, one room is naturally for Lin Ruo and Hu Yue, and the other room.

"You brat, don't even think about it. You and Maureen live outside to guard the house, while I sleep in a room by myself."

As soon as Yang Ming saw it

When there were only two rooms, I had already guessed what Lao Lu was thinking.

Although he was unhappy, he still felt that Lao Lu was short-tongued, so he didn't say anything.

"Uncle Master probably has ulterior motives in choosing to live here."

Lin Ruo took off her veil and revealed her delicate face. Old Lu's purpose in coming to Yongzhou Mansion must not only be to use the way to Zhongzhou, but also to do other things.

After all, Yuelai Inn is no ordinary inn.

"Don't think blindly. The waiter will bring the dishes later. You guys eat first. I'll go out."

After saying that, Lao Lu took the wine bottle and walked out of the suite.

"Senior sister, what is the name of this Yuelai Inn?"

Yang Ming couldn't wait to ask as soon as Lao Lu left.

Similarly, Hu Yue and Mo Lin also have the same problem. Compared with Lin Ruoyi, these two people are just like old haters from the countryside.

"There are many good inns in Yongzhou Prefecture. The Huibin Inn in the north of the city and the Juying Inn in the west of the city are hundreds of times better than the Yuelai Inn."

Lin Ruo paused for a moment, went out and took a look to make sure there was no one outside the suite, and then whispered:

"The proprietress of Yuelai Inn has the biggest ear in the Qianlong Club."

The leader of the Pekan branch of the Qianlong Society is Lang Sandao. However, the areas under Lang Sandao's jurisdiction are limited to the underground casinos, underground arenas and underground auctions in Pekan.

However, the head of Liu'er, the real intelligence agency of the Qianlong Society, is said to be the proprietress of Yuelai Inn.

Although there is no definite evidence that the landlady is such a person with great hands and eyes, there is a rumor in the world.

"If you want to find out something, you can definitely find what you want at Yuelai Inn."

Lao Lu walked to the lobby, found an empty table and sat down directly there, shouting:

"Waiter! Bring me a bottle of wine!"

"Here, sir, what kind of wine do you want?"

"Fifty-year-old daughter's red wine is brewed with five grains. If it is adulterated, I will destroy your brand!"

When the waiter heard this, he quickly took a carved tea cup and poured a cup of hot tea first.

"Where did the guest officer come from?"

"Call me anywhere!"

"Where are you going, guest officer?"

"Run somewhere."

"Are there any horses?"

"Beigan red-maned horse!"

"Please wait a moment, sir, your wine will be here soon."

The waiter cupped his hands and left. The conversation between Lao Lu and the waiter just now was so loud that many people around him heard it.

Visitors in the lobby talked a lot about Lao Lu's words, but they all lowered their heads and whispered.

Lao Lu picked up the tea cup and drank half of the tea. At this time, a short man sat opposite Lao Lu.

The man had short braids and an unkempt beard, which made him look very old-fashioned.

"My brother's wine is old."

"It's old. I heard that old wine is intoxicating. I have to give it a try."

"Have you ever heard that old wine is poisonous and can cause stomach rupture and intestinal rupture?"

"That doesn't matter, I'm too lucky to be burned to death."

The unshaven man took out a pipe, and with a flash of anger in his hand, the flame ignited the tobacco of the pipe, and the smoke filled up.

"There is an account in the East China Sea that is not very innocent."

"I heard."

"It is said that an old man ran into debt in the early years and was hunted by his enemies. Now his whole family is homeless."

"Later, I was framed by a villain, and my enemies came to my door, so I had no choice but to live under someone else's roof."

"The old man is not dead, but he won't live long."

The big man finished smoking the bag of cigarettes, knocked the ashes on his pipe, and continued.

"The old man has a hard life, and you have to look at the person's face to live under someone else's roof. That person is not a good family either."

"That's true. The old man's life is quite uncomfortable."

Lu Cheng continued. At this time, the waiter had already put the wine on the table. Obviously, it was not the fifty-year-old daughter's red, but the newly brewed Beigantian.

"In the early years, the old man's business was very prosperous, and he even left some things behind. That family became greedy for the old man's things."

"It is said that there are people in Yongzhou Prefecture who know the whereabouts of this thing."

Lu Cheng directly stated his intention.

The big man separated the stacked wine bowls and poured a bowl of wine for himself, but not for Lao Lu.

"The wine is yours. The landlady is in the kitchen, just go behind the table."

"Thank you, brother."

Lu Cheng put down two coins in the empty wine bowl and started

Walking towards the kitchen.

"The peak of concentration? No, it's the transformation of the spirit."

The big man murmured, finished the bowl of wine, put away the silver in the empty bowl and murmured.

"It's going to change."

Then, he walked out of Yuelai Inn.

The back kitchen of Yuelai Inn is unique. It is not just a place where a dozen cooks are sweating and cooking.

Instead, it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. From the lobby, you can enter the outer room. It is a very simple side dish restaurant. After all, Yuelai Inn only has three signature dishes.

Roast duck, smoked chicken, sauced pork knuckle.

There are three skilled masters who can handle it in half a day.

Other side dishes such as fried peanuts and patted cucumbers are also very simple and can be completed by the waiter.

Walking from the outside into the inside is a different scene.

It's more like a wine cellar than a kitchen.

At first glance, there are at least three hundred jars of wine placed in this inner room.

It may not be appropriate to describe it as a jar, but it seems more appropriate to say three hundred jars of wine.

On the south wall of the inner room is an extremely gorgeous wine rack, and the wines on the shelf are all expensive wines.

This shelf of wine is probably worth as much as the entire Yuelai Inn, from land to real estate.

"They are all good wines."

Lao Lu swallowed his mouth while looking at the wine rack on the south wall. Of course, what also made him swallow was the proprietress who was tasting wine with a wooden ladle in front of a wine tank.

Although it was the winter solstice, the boss lady was dressed very provocatively, with purple satin wrapping her slim figure.

Her hair reaches her waist, and is tied into a fringed ponytail with a tendon rope. The thin gauze dress is wrapped around her arms, and Bai Zhan's skin can be seen through the gauze dress.

This kind of beauty with half-covered face as if holding a pipa gave Lao Lu a full sense of impact.

Although I had long heard that the proprietress of Yuelai Inn was a stunning beauty, I only knew it when I saw her.

This is not a peerless beauty, she is simply a disaster.

"In Xiatian Hengshan Lucheng, I met shopkeeper Liu Ruyuliu."

When seeing a beautiful woman, Lao Lu must abide by some etiquette. After hearing Lao Lu's words, the shopkeeper did not stop what he was doing.

"I heard that Mr. Lu Cheng is a heavy drinker and has a lot of knowledge about wine. Can you tell the vintage of the wine in front of me?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and thought, is this a test for him?

"How can I dare to do anything in front of Shopkeeper Liu? However, the altar in front of me has a long aftertaste and is quite fragrant with sorghum."

"If I guessed correctly, it should be a five-year-old Platinum Dragon."

When Lu Cheng told the name of this wine, Shopkeeper Liu's movements obviously stopped for a moment.

"Become a god?"

"Exactly."

"Master Lu Cheng, he should be less than thirty."

Lu Cheng nodded. When he saw Shopkeeper Liu turning around, Lu Cheng's nosebleed almost spurted out.

Beauty is a curse, definitely beauty is a curse.

This figure, this face, this!!!

It is so unreasonable that such a beauty can appear in a place like Yuelai Inn.

"You...this, I..."

Lu Cheng was suddenly a little nervous. Yes, he was a little nervous. It wasn't that Lu Cheng had never seen a beautiful woman before, but that he was not mentally prepared.

Who would have ever imagined meeting such a beauty in this Yuelai Inn?

Although I have long heard that shopkeeper Liu of Yuelai Inn is one of the four beauties of the Cloud Empire, Liu Ruyu, who is said to be intoxicating.

It is said that I was drinking with this shopkeeper Liu, and since I had just met shopkeeper Liu himself, I was already tipsy before the wine entered my throat.

"Ahem, Shopkeeper Liu, I don't know if you have the information I want."

"You mean, the Five Kings Rebellion?"

Lu Cheng nodded, but looking at Shopkeeper Liu's expression, he hesitated.

Although this news does exist, under normal circumstances it cannot be told outside.

After all, this kind of news can lead to death.

"careful!"

Lu Cheng suddenly stood in front of Shopkeeper Liu. The moment Lu Cheng was on guard, thousands of flying knives came towards Liu Ruyu.

"You are really brave, you actually dare to cause trouble in my Yuelai Inn."

Liu Ruyu snorted coldly, and in the next moment, those flying knives seemed to have been corroded and turned into molten iron.
Chapter completed!
