The sun rose in the early morning, and there was constant noise outside. Chang Yu got up and saw that the room had been tidied up, and Jiang Fa was sitting by the window, holding an object in his hand and looking at it carefully.
This thing was thrown in by the cat demon last night. It was the size of a billiard ball, with a hollow bamboo ball on the outside and a grass ball on the inside. Chang Yu took it and took a few glances: "Poison smoke?"
Jiang Fa nodded: "Probably so."
Chang Yu casually threw it into the corner. When he opened the door, he heard the noise of people outside. There were many neighbors outside the inn talking about what happened last night. Chang Yu walked downstairs. The shopkeeper saw his eyes evading, and the shopkeeper
He trotted up to meet him and said in a low voice: "Two heroes, heroes, yesterday was really..." He took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Chang Yu's hand: "We don't ask about your affairs in the world, but
We are in business and we are afraid of causing trouble and affecting our business. Can you please live in another house?"
I am really afraid of this kind of thing when I open a business. There was a thief in the city last night, which disturbed half of the city. Chang Yu was yelling and shooting in the room. He couldn't hide it from the store owner. He knew that he had something to do with him.
It doesn't matter. To be honest, it's quite interesting that I didn't report it to the official.
Now they have refunded the room fee and meal money. To be honest, they are very particular.
Since people are so particular, then...
Don't leave!
Chang Yu pushed the silver back and took out another tael of silver: "Add more money."
This... the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but when he saw a look from Chang Yu, he quickly agreed.
The guests in the inn were leaving one after another. Chang Yu and Jiang Fa were sitting in the corner eating breakfast. After a while, a group of people walked in. They looked fierce and looked like they were from a caravan of goods. There were six or seven people in them.
This group of people entered the store and started clamoring for food, and then looked at Chang Yu with an unkind look.
The shopkeepers all have good eyesight, and these people are not good at making mistakes, so they serve them carefully.
While the group was eating, they asked if there were any guest rooms. The guy said that the backyard was empty and there were more than a dozen people sleeping there. A big man banged the table and yelled: "Who wants a big bunkhouse? I want to sleep in a room. I'm afraid I won't be able to live in it."
Are you up?" He said and took out a piece of silver.
The waiter hurried to accompany them, and told him with an embarrassed look that there were not many rooms left, not enough for them to accommodate six or seven people.
"I won't drive them away. I'll pay more." The men slapped the table again, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet them, saying that no one would open an inn to drive away guests. Who would come to stay in the hotel in the future? Wouldn't it be suicide? But
Well...since you added money, I can go up and discuss it with the customer.
The shopkeeper turned around and walked towards Chang Yu. It was a God-given opportunity. With the strength of Liuqi Barbarian, these two troublemakers were just in time to leave. Jiang Fa saw him coming and put the knife on the table to see.
After glancing at him, the shopkeeper turned around and ran upstairs.
After a while, several customers walked down with resentment on their faces, and then glared at Chang Yu and Jiang Fa. If the prediction is correct, it must be the shopkeeper who deliberately caused trouble, but these people saw Chang Yu and Jiang Fa.
Even though Yu and Jiang were wearing swords, they only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
After dinner, Jiang Fa went back to his room to rest, while Chang Yu walked out of the shop, looked up at the cloudy sky, and then walked towards the street. As for why he was not afraid of being alone, it was because he was sure that the cat demon was wandering around the gate of hell at this time and had no time for him.
Ear.
Of course, there are other reasons besides this, which we will learn in a moment.
Chang Yu walked slowly along the street, seemingly aimlessly, looking here and there, sometimes approaching a roadside shop to buy some gadgets, sometimes chatting with vendors on the street, and even entertaining a few urchins out of boredom.
When it was almost noon, he walked around most of Xinyang City, and God finally started to rain lightly.
Returning to the inn, Jiang Fa was drinking tea by the window and listening to the rain.
"Are you okay?" Chang Yu asked.
Jiang Fa shook his head, and Chang Yu said, "Then I'll catch up on some sleep."
I didn't sleep well last night. This time I woke up in the evening and the rain outside was getting heavier.
The food is ready on the table, and there are some documents.
I ate and watched, and after I finished watching, I finished eating. Then I sat by the window and drank tea with Jiang Fa, looking at the pouring rain outside: "Suddenly the world is not so fun anymore."
Jiang Fa smiled: "That's because the young master is in the court with his heart in the world."
Chang Yu sighed: "Maybe, it's not time to go away after all." After saying that, he looked out the window in a daze.
"But where's the fire?" After a while, Jiang Fa asked tentatively.
Chang Yu smiled and said: "I have been preparing for a rainy day for a long time and not everyone in the imperial court has to work hard. There are people who can take charge of both civil and military affairs on their own. Many things do not require me to do it myself."
"This is a good thing." Jiang Fa smiled faintly.
"It's indeed a good thing." Chang Yu nodded slightly. There was a knock on the door. Jiang Fa stood up and opened the door. A man outside whispered a few words and then left. If you look carefully, you will find him.
It turned out to be one of the big men who moved in this morning.
That's right, Chang Yu's people.
"It's done." Jiang Fa walked to the window and added water to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's boring."
Early the next morning, the rain stopped.
After Chang Yu and Jiang Fa had breakfast, they asked the clerk to go to the car dealership to help hire a carriage with a driver. Chang Yu rode a horse and led the horse out of the city.
It was muddy outside the city, there were not many pedestrians, and the cars and horses were slow.
However, the fresh air after the rain makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Jiang Fa closed his eyes and meditated in the car, while Chang Yu chatted with the driver. Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, drivers are very good at chatting.
While chatting and walking, we approached the mountainous area. It started to drizzle in the sky, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. When we reached a fork in the road, Chang Yu looked around and said to the coachman, go this way.
The driver hesitated a little. The man who hired the car said he was going to Tangjiazhai, twenty miles away, but the trail he pointed to was obviously in the wrong direction, and he knew that it was a trail into the mountains, uninhabited and extremely remote.
So the driver jumped out of the car and spread his hands: "Hero, what you want is money, please spare this little dog's life."
Chang Yu chuckled: "You are really cool."
The driver smiled bitterly and bowed, begging for mercy: "I am just a poor man. If you kidnap me, you won't earn any ransom and you will waste food..."
Chang Yu was overjoyed: "Are there robbers in this mountain?"
"They are not robbers, they are all heroes." The coachman corrected him seriously: "How can there be no heroes in this mountain for hundreds of miles, right?"
"That's true." Chang Yu took out ten taels of silver and said, "I am a good man, but I don't steal money or kill people. I bought this carriage." He threw it away, and the coachman looked surprised: "This..."
Chang Yu was too lazy to explain anything to him: "Let's go quickly, you will regret it if you take it slow..." Before he could finish speaking, the coachman ran away.
"This guy is really interesting." Chang Yu laughed, tied the two horses to the carriage, then picked up the carriage and walked along the path.
The road is deep, the road is narrow, and the forest is dense.
After walking a few hundred meters, several sturdy men jumped out from the side of the road, holding weapons and looking fierce.
