After listening to Nanyue's explanation, Chen Baiqi finally understood the reason why Yaoma was so vague just now, so he smiled, and then went to find Elder Gong and Elder Qiu to discuss it.

Mr. Qiu and Yaoma had basically the same idea. He thought calmly: "It's neither hot nor cold today, so it's okay to rest in the wild for a day. Why waste this money."

Mr. Qiu has a pair of thick gray long eyebrows, and his weather-beaten face is covered with deep wrinkles, but his eyes are very bright, and the corners of his mouth are naturally upturned. When he smiles, his cheekbones stand high, like a

Looks like a thinner Maitreya Buddha.

It is hard to imagine that such an affable old man would have been an assassin with bloody hands in his previous occupation. Of course, now... he is just a wandering old man.

"Just pick a place to rest." Mr. Gong also nodded.

At their age, they have seen through many things and don't care too much about worldly things and comfort.

Elder Gong is considered to be old this year. Chen Baiqi checked the system information and found out that he is sixty-four years old. Due to the living conditions and medical level of people in this era, it is not common for people to live to this age.

But even so, Mr. Gou's physical condition is still not very good. He is wearing a loose gray linen robe, and his face can't hide the tired look. If this is not to save face for Mo Bian, given his age,

It is difficult for people to go out of the government city.

Now it is such an old man who is taking the lead to support the life and death of the entire government city and Mo Bian. Speaking of which, Chen Baiqi still respects such an old man very much, so she thought that she would do some trivial things for him.

.

Chen Baiqi put away the smile on his face and said sincerely: "Before, it was because there was no place to stay in the wilderness along this way, so we slept in the wild. But now that we know there is a place to live and eat, Huanxian, as a junior,

Naturally, we cannot continue to wrong our elders."

Although Chen Baiqi was not a wealthy person, she had saved some money after completing the tasks in the following days. She thought it would not be a problem for them to stay in a hotel comfortably and eat hot food.

"This...don't waste it." Chang Ren looked at the expressions of the two commanders and said with a slight hesitation: "It only took one night, so I understood and went to the Motai to get the Juzi Ling...Besides, there are no hotels in Changhong Road.

A room is cheap, especially the one owned by the female. If there are so many of us living together, even a Datong store will cost a lot of money."

Although the other disciples were yearning to live in the hostel, it was obvious that the leaders were all opposed to it, so they all had no choice but to lower their gazes and did not dare to overstep their bounds.

After listening to Chang Ren's words, Chen Baiqi stared at him blankly for a while, and then he clearly understood how poor Mo Bian was.

Before, she knew that Mo Bian's people had to support the operation of a government city and the disciples' daily expenses, which required a lot of money. In addition, Mo Bian's people were not good at management and business. They usually only relied on selling some ingenious farm tools and industrial merchants.

The main items are utensils, and since the price of such things is limited, the profit is naturally not very high.

So she could imagine that their life should be simple and frugal, but today she finally had a real idea based on their reactions and money usage concepts. They were really poor, so poor that they had no use for anything.

But even so, they still have an upright and upright mind. They never aspire to be poor because they are poor, and they are poor because they are poor, and they never shy away from speaking out.

Chen Baiqi let out a long sigh and said: "Huanxian is looking for things next to Lord Mengchang. Although Lord Mengchang's behavior is criticized, he is very generous to his subordinates. Huanxian is not poor and can still let everyone have a good night's rest."

Having said this, Chen Baiqi clearly felt that many of the disciples below raised their heads in surprise, and then stared at her with shining eyes.

They thought, no wonder Huanxian wanted to seek employment with Lord Mengchang. It turned out to be because Lord Mengchang was surrounded by fat servants.

Chen Baiqi saw that they were not dissatisfied with her current occupation, so he added: "Besides, Mr. Hu is already so old. It is easy to get cold when exposed late at night. I am afraid it will be uncomfortable to stay in the wild. Now Huanxian has taken the

I am no longer an outsider to you, and you must not be polite to me."

After hearing her heartfelt words, it would be too hypocritical for them not to appreciate her.

Mr. Qiu looked at Mr. Gou, shaking his head and smiling helplessly. Mr. Gou also laughed heartily, and everyone accepted her suggestion.

But at the same time, in Mo Bian's mind, Chen Baiqi's label was not only too kind, but also someone who was rich and easy to deceive.

Nanyue and Chengyi looked at each other, with a hint of a long way to go.

With such a brother in the stall who doesn't understand the dangers of people's hearts, they have to keep a close eye on her in the future, and they must protect her well, lest they turn around and find out that she has been deceived!

——

Changhong Road in Huayang Valley is an abandoned official road. A section of the road was paved with stone pavement. However, after being abandoned for a long time, it became overgrown with weeds. Later, the land was taken over by the female, and the name was changed to "

Changhong Road".

Huayang Valley is the boundary of Zhengzhou. The whole journey is about a thousand miles, including Erjiu Station and Shishipu. It starts from Pujiang River and is connected to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and extends southward to Qinchu. Among them, Changhong Road is the most prosperous.

After entering Huayang Valley, there is a simple and long-standing stone bridge in front. The bridge deck is not very neat, but it is smooth and bright. I don’t know how many people have stepped on it. Beside the bridge stands an square stone tablet with a messy surface.

The three characters Qingfengyi can be vaguely seen.

Further ahead is a long road paved with stone. The shadows of trees on both sides of the long road are whirling and blowing in the wind. There is a long string of red bamboo lanterns that extend far away. At night, the lights are lit, lighting up this long road.

It shines red and bright, which is the origin of the name "Changhong Road".

The central location of Changhong Road was formerly a post station. The so-called post station was for officials to travel and stay overnight. Therefore, Huayang Valley is about a day's journey from another post station, and there will be some simple shops between the post station and the post station.

Pedestrians take a short rest and have a meal.

Nowadays, the abandoned inn has been renovated and used, and it has become a hotel for travelers to rest. Shops and inns have also been overhauled, making it very lively and prosperous.

Anyone with a little common sense on "Changhong Road" knows that this place is not accessible to ordinary people, because Changhong Road is in Huayang Valley, and Huayang Valley is actually a bandit den. Although the name is clear, it is not accessible to ordinary people.

But it was dark in the valley.

Otherwise, why would this good official road station be abandoned and diverted? In fact, the official could not resist the bandits and could only retreat and abandon it.

But the female daughter is by no means an ordinary woman. She wants to open a hotel in the fierce Huayang Valley, and she can also do a prosperous business.

As for how she did it, people in the world are speculating. Some say she relies on her beauty, some say she relies on connections, and some say she is an accomplice of the bandit den in Huayang Valley, and the money she earns is shared with the bandits.

...In short, many people have guessed, but no one has ever asked what the truth is.

But since she opened this Changhong Road, the business has indeed been coming in like clouds. After all, this road is the only way from Yan to Qin. If many people don't pass through Huayang Valley, they have to climb mountains and wade around it.

It's a long way, but if you don't take a detour, you won't be able to pass through the Huayang Valley.

But the female daughter spoke, and she said that as long as her guests stayed on Changhong Road, they could leave Huayang Valley safely.

Naturally, some people didn't believe in evil at first, but in the end... they all believed it, so the Changhong Road became a life-saving talisman for passing through Huayang Valley. As long as you don't want to offend those bandits, you just need to live in this Changhong Road.

.

However, ordinary people are still jealous of Huayang Valley, so those walking on Changhong Road are basically people in the world who have the ability to protect themselves.

Chen Baiqi and the others followed the guidance of the red lantern and walked along the stone road. Most of the people they met on the road were equipped with weapons. They walked briskly and took long strides. Some had cold expressions, and some had desolate expressions. Their eyes were in the dark firelight.

Sharp alert.

Many people noticed Chen Baiqi, a group of people who were incompatible with Changhong Dao. Although they were also dressed in rough leather and linen clothes, their behavior was much more gentle. Their steps were clumsy and their breathing was slow. It was obvious at first glance that they did not have any martial arts background, and they were a group of people.

People are old and young, no matter how they look at it, they feel something is wrong.

"He, why do they look at us like this?" Zheng Zheng's eyes wandered from side to side, and he asked in a low voice with a stiff neck.

"If you don't look at them, how do you know they are with you? Since you are also looking at them, why should you care about them looking at you?" Chen Baiqi chuckled.

Zhengyi said "Oh" and felt that Huanxian was right, so he no longer struggled with those overly sharp eyes that were as sharp as needles piercing his body.

Mr. Qiu and Mr. Hu in the front also heard the conversation between Chen Baiqi and Chengyi. Mr. Qiu smiled happily when he heard the words. Mr. Hu felt that this young man Chen was indeed a smart and witty child. He hoped that her intelligence could

They also infected Justice and Nanyue.

Along the way, Chen Baiqi felt for the first time that she had entered the world from the temple. She found that the people in the world were really different from the rich and powerful people she had come into contact with before.

Soon they came to a hotel called "Tongmin Yingfang". Chen Baiqi took a closer look. This "Tongmin Yingfang" had an arch bridge with two stone plaques erected on both sides of the bridge, with the words "

"The deserted village is weary and hurts both the present and the past, and the banyan leaves fall into the Banqiao while listening."

After walking through this arch bridge, you will see the two doors of "Tongmin Yingfang" open, and various loud voices and high-pitched conversations can be heard from inside, as well as bustling and noisy sounds.

Chen Baiqi's consciousness was swirling around the surrounding environment, but she saw Mo Bian and the others stepped in without any hesitation. She thought they would be more reserved, but unexpectedly...she followed them leisurely and smiled.

As soon as the group of them entered, the large number of people attracted the attention of others. Some people saw it and started to explore the identity of the group out of instinct. Some of them were slightly surprised when their eyes touched something.

, and then recognized it.

"Hey, that person... seems to be Mr. Hanmu."

"Half...yes, it's him!"

What half-eye? Chen Baiqi followed the man's line of sight and saw Uncle Chang who was one step ahead on the left, and then heard Nan Yue next to her secretly say to her: "Uncle Chang is a master of Mohism, that is, he can calculate anything without using pen calculations."

Confucian classics problems, many arguments were put forward, and there was a previous academic attack and defense meeting. Uncle Chang defeated many opponents with half-closed eyes, so someone gave Uncle Chang a method called half-eye calculation.

During these days, it was either 38 or 39 degrees every day. Jing couldn't bear it any longer and caught a heat wave. It was such a bad day to drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water. So fairies, be sure to pay attention to sun protection, heatstroke prevention and ground fire protection when going out.

ah!
