In the evening, the carriage finally arrived at a county town, Peng County. Xu Ran originally planned to drive at night, but Lu Su was not in good health, so he decided to rest in Peng County for one night.
Today's Peng County still belongs to the Qin State, and the rebels have not yet arrived. There are guards guarding the gate of Peng County, and there are several portraits of pursuits posted on the side of the city wall.
Xu Ran saw a very familiar picture, who could it be if it wasn't Yi Xiaochuan.
"Stop for routine inspection." When the carriage was about to enter the city, a soldier came over and stopped the carriage.
The coachman quickly smiled and said: "You guys, we are not wanted criminals."
"Come here, everyone who wants to enter the city will be checked," the soldier said with a serious face.
Then, when he opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Lu Su sitting inside, he was shocked for a moment and froze on the spot, but he quickly recovered and said: 'You guys go in.'
Xu Ran followed the carriage into Pengcheng and did not see the soldier who had previously checked the carriage hurriedly run towards the magistrate's residence.
After entering Peng County, Lu Su got off the carriage.
Xu Ran said: "You must be tired."
Lu Su shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired."
Xu Ran saw Lu Su's sleepy expression and thought it would be strange to believe her, so he found an inn nearby.
The carriage driver did not come in because it was not easy to make some money, so he stayed in the carriage all night.
The two walked into a two-story inn, where there was a young waiter.
Xu Ran walked over and asked, "Waiter, how much does a guest room cost?"
"A lower-class room costs 20 cents, a middle-class room costs 30 cents, and an upper-class room costs 50 cents," the waiter said.
"Su Su, how many guest rooms do you think we need?" Xu Ran decided to tease Lu Su.
"Two rooms," Lu Su said with a blushing face.
"Oh..." Xu Ran nodded, then looked at the waiter and said, "Come to a first-class guest room."
"Two rooms" Lu Su was anxious beside him.
Although the two had become a couple through Lu Gong's help, they did not get married. Lu Su was bold and embarrassed to share a room with Xu Ran.
The waiter looked at Xu Ran and then at Lu Su.
"One room" Xu Ran said with a joking smile.
"Two rooms," Lu Su said with a blush on her face.
Seeing that Lu Su was about to burst into tears, Xu Ran stopped teasing her, looked at the waiter and said, "Two first-class guest rooms."
The money came from Lu Su.
Xu Ran felt very sweaty every time he paid, because when he came to ancient times, he did not have copper coins or silver notes. All daily expenses in Pei County were paid by Lu Gong.
So Xu Ran has always been unhappy, always feeling that she is a pretty boy who eats soft rice.
Xu Ran wondered whether he should go rob houses and get some money.
After eating at the inn, the two of them separated and entered their own guest rooms. After Xu Ran entered the room, he started practicing as usual.
After running continuously for several weeks, I started to sleep.
Vertical sun.
Xu Ran got up, but heard the chaotic footsteps outside. When he opened the window, he saw that he was surrounded by a group of armored soldiers outside.
The entire inn was surrounded.
"Search, search each room for me, the rebels are inside." A strong voice came. Xu Ran saw a middle-aged man in official uniform with a big belly being beaten by a group of soldiers on the street.
Surrounded.
He was the one who gave the order just now.
"Ah, what are you going to do?" Lu Su's panicked voice suddenly came from next door.
Xu Ran immediately ran out quickly and entered Lu Su's room. He found two soldiers pulling at Lu Su. Fortunately, Lu Su had already finished dressing.
Xu Ran directly kicked the two soldiers who were pulling Lu Su out of the window.
Lu Su's eyes were filled with tears because two soldiers suddenly broke in and pulled her. When she saw Xu Ran appeared, she threw herself into Xu Ran's arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here" Xu Ran hugged Lu Su, patted her back and comforted her softly.
Perhaps because they heard the commotion here, seven or eight soldiers filed in. A squad leader shouted to Xu Ran: "You two are the rebels who have sneaked into the city, arrest them."
Suddenly, five or six soldiers surrounded Xu Ran.
"Go away..." Xu Ran frowned and said coldly.
An internal momentum burst out, forming a wave of air. The surrounding soldiers were immediately blown away by the wave of air. Then Xu Ran held Lu Su in one hand and flew directly from the second floor.
It fell to the ground in an instant.
Outside, there were thirty or forty soldiers standing ready.
"Your Majesty, it's her," a voice suddenly sounded, pointing at Lu Su in the air.
Xu Ran turned around and saw a soldier standing in front of the pot-bellied man, pointing at them.
Xu Ran recognized this soldier as the city guard from yesterday.
The pot-bellied man cleared his throat and said: "You two rebels are so brave and want to overthrow His Majesty. Let me arrest you."
Although he spoke upright, a pair of narrow eyes were staring closely at the stunning Lu Su in Xu Ran's arms.
Xu Ran suddenly understood that the magistrate of Peng County must have taken a fancy to Lu Su's beauty, so he randomly found a charge of rebellion.
In ancient times, there were many incidents of women being coveted because of their beauty, and thus being occupied.
As for why the other party brought people to surround the inn, it must have been informed by the guarding soldier next to him.
A group of people who didn't know the truth had gathered around them. Their eyes looking at Xu Ran were full of pity and sympathy, because their county magistrate was an extremely lecherous person.
I don’t know how many women from good families in Peng County have been occupied.
The girl in the young man's arms was obviously attracted by the county magistrate.
"Beauty is a disaster," Xu Ran said softly.
Lu Su, who was in his arms, saw so many soldiers around him and quickly rested his head on Xu Ran's chest, as if he could get a sense of security in this way.
"The men will be beaten to death with sticks, and the women will stay." At this moment, the magistrate of Peng County ordered.
Yesterday, the soldiers guarding the city came over to tell him that a woman as beautiful as a fairy had entered the city, and the county magistrate became more excited.
So early in the morning, I came with my soldiers.
Now that he saw Lu Su's appearance, he secretly thought that this trip was not in vain, this woman was really as beautiful as a fairy, but what made him unhappy was that.
A beautiful woman is held by a man.
Therefore, the county magistrate issued the order urgently.
Xu Ran didn't explain anything, because in this environment, explaining anything was useless. The other party was obviously coming for Lu Su.
Xu Ran hugged Lu Su with one arm and raised his energy at the same time. In a flash, he rushed towards the county magistrate, as fast as a shadow.
The people around me couldn't react at all.
Xu Ran slapped the county magistrate on the chest. The magistrate's eyes with a lewd smile were instantly replaced by pain, and he flew out.
He fell heavily to the ground, then vomited blood, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
In an instant, you could hear pin drops all around.
