Ren Qing is not a stickler for the past. Since he can solve the trouble with the simplest method and can still enter the city, why not use it?
As for what happened in the city that caused the entrance to be closed, that was the matter of the city official. He didn't want to care about it, and he didn't want to care about it. It was his mission to bring the team back to Chang'an safely. What else?
Your Majesty has never explained it.
The group of people passed through the dark and narrow city gate, and when they came out, they saw the ancient city of Nanyang in front of them.
Moreover, compared to the intense interrogation at the city gate, Nanyang City at this time was in a state of peace with singing and dancing.
Because it was already late when Xiao Han entered the city and the sun was almost setting, so while he could still see clearly, most of the shops along the street were closing.
While packing up things, the clerk in the shop said hello to acquaintances on the street. Coupled with the laughter of children, the shouts of adults, and the faint fragrance of rice in the air from time to time, it was a beautiful scene.
images of sentient beings.
However, all beautiful things are destined not to last long!
So soon, someone who caused great harm to the scenery jumped out!
"What are you looking at! Why don't you go out and ask where there is an inn?"
Boss Chen was riding on his horse, shivering like a quail from the cold. How could he have thought that this could lead to an angry kick? And when he was kicked, he dared not speak out in anger.
After hurriedly sitting up, he still didn't forget to cup his hands in front of Liu Hongji, and then he dared to shake the reins tremblingly, and drove the horse forward.
It's so cold today! Mr. Chen has no intention of resisting.
He is from the south. Although he has been to the north when he was doing business, he only came when the weather was warm. Who has nothing to do with coming to the north in the winter? And looking for trouble for himself?
So, when he followed Xiao Han's team across the Huaihe River, he felt bad all over!
As a Lingnan native through and through, Mr. Chen dares to say that in his life, he has never seen snow of any kind that can cover a person’s calves! He has never tasted the feeling of freezing even snot!
Therefore, during this period of time, Boss Chen behaved like a cat who is afraid of the cold. He was too lazy to say a word when he was on the road. Once he stopped to light the fire for cooking, his presence would never be missing by the fire.
"Hey, you're kicking him like this, aren't you afraid of kicking him away?" When Xiao Han got out of the carriage, he happened to see Liu Hongji kicking Boss Chen, so he stepped forward and asked Liu Hongji with a smile.
"How dare he!" Liu Hongji glared: "His teeth are all set by me for money. How dare he run away without conscience?"
"But you knocked out all the teeth in his mouth, right?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said quietly.
"That...that's different!" Liu Hongji suddenly became speechless. He opened his mouth for a moment before waving his hands angrily: "Besides, if I ask him to run away, see where he can go? He owes me, the old Liu family, money.
, if you don’t return it clean, you want to run away and seek death!”
Xiao Han was speechless.
Someone owes you money? Doesn’t that mean you bought and sold by force? The mental damage fee and the attempted trap fee are all added in. This is in line with the old saying: If you want to accuse someone of a crime, why bother?
However, Xiao Han also knows that this world is just like this! It has not changed since ancient times!
Whoever has a big fist can use his words easily!
This applies not only between people, but also between countries.
Dignity exists on the edge of the sword!
The truth is within cannon range!
When he was in Runzhou, what did Yin Can say about the revenge of the Japanese country? Xiao Han really didn't take it to heart. When the Lingnan fleet was completed, the Japanese country and the pirates were nothing more than a bunch of local chickens and dogs.
What really worried Xiao Han was the weird cold weather. Along the way, he heard people say more than once that the weather this year was extremely cold and the snow was thick. Some of it fell in the fields, no matter how hard the sun
No matter how hot it is, there is no sign of melting.
So, looking at the white snow that had not yet melted on the roofs of the shops on both sides, Xiao Han sighed softly.
The group continued to walk forward, and soon, Boss Chen, who had gone to ask for directions, also came back and said that there was a nice inn ahead and the room was large enough to accommodate the people on their trip, and they could stay there for one night.
At such an hour, Ren Qing didn't bother to ask any more questions. He directly raised his hand and asked him to lead the way, and the group of people marched toward the inn.
The inn that Mr. Chen mentioned was not far from here, it was almost just two turns away from here.
The innkeeper got the news and knew that a big customer was coming. He and his waiter had already greeted him at the door. Seeing Xiao Han and his entourage riding in a car and riding horses in extraordinary attire, he immediately lost his joy and even scolded and ordered.
He asked the waiter to take the horse to the backyard for a good wash, while he personally exchanged greetings and led the people into the inn behind.
I have to say that Nancheng City is really big! Although it has been in decline over the years, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was definitely an important city with a status no less than Chang'an! Even Liu Xiu, who opened the cheating machine, also made his fortune in
this!
So, when Xiao Han entered the inn all the way, he immediately discovered that not only was the layout of the city extremely grand, but even an ordinary inn was decorated in an antique style. If you picked up a bowl at random, it might be dozens or hundreds of years old.
The antiques and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall look like they were just painted in the past two years from the slightly yellowed paper.
"I'm tired from walking today. Let's get some good wine and meat!"
It's a pity that Liu Hongji never paid attention to such elegant things. As soon as he entered the inn, he immediately sat down on the chair, slapped the table and started roaring.
When he saw people at the tables next to him looking at him one after another, he didn't forget to stare back at them one by one, as if they were biting me if they refused.
When the guests at those tables saw Liu Hongji's ruffian appearance, and then looked at the fierce and strong men like Ren Qing, the slightest bit of unhappiness they felt immediately died down. Several people hurriedly lowered their heads to eat, and even their voices were much lower.
The less trouble, the better!
Recently I heard that several surrounding villages and towns have suffered disasters. Who knows if it was caused by the strangers in front of me? It would be better to eat quickly and leave, so as not to be remembered and do some unclear things.
.
However, the other guests didn't like it, but the innkeeper was very happy.
These people don't ask the price in advance when they eat. If every dish costs them ten cents and eight cents, wouldn't it mean that he has made a lot of money!
Thinking of this, his face smiled like a flower, and even the wrinkles could be ironed extremely smooth, for fear that these people would live somewhere else if they were not careful!
"There's meat and wine, there's meat and wine! Waiter, hurry up and serve wine to the guest. Just use the jar of wine I just brought out yesterday. Yes, that's the jar of wine! Be careful. If you break it, you'll be afraid of selling it.
