Unfortunately, there was no chance for them to show off their skills in the rest of the journey. After a very arduous long journey, they finally arrived at their destination, Yanzhou.
They kept asking questions as they walked along the way, and when they got here, the news became clear. It seemed that this was indeed the place.
When they arrived in Yanzhou, many people had seen with their own eyes the positions of the two warring parties. Since no one knew the specific situation, they did not know that it was not two parties but five forces.
Naturally, Yanzhou City is not as lively as other places. Since it is in the middle of a war, if you are not careful, you may be implicated and your head will fall to the ground. Therefore, everyone here is in danger, and almost every door and window is closed in broad daylight.
It's hard to find a place to complain. No one is willing to let strangers stay at this stall. Several inns have temporary rest signs on them and the doors are locked. Yichen means that they would be on the carriage otherwise.
It's enough for one night, and I'll go directly to meet them early tomorrow morning.
King Huai disagreed and insisted on finding a place to live first. Yichen was a little confused. In the past few times, they had laid bunks on the floor or took a carriage to rest for one or two nights, so why did they refuse to agree?
Woolen cloth?
But fortunately, he believed that the prince had a purpose, so he took the trouble to check the situation one by one. Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and they actually found a small inn that was still open.
This place is not really an inn, it's just a bigger place than my own home with two more rooms.
For a place like this, the price is more expensive than two nights in a big restaurant. Although it’s understandable that it’s a bit more expensive during special times, this is too damn outrageous! Not only that, the boss is also very aggressive: "
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The inns you can find in Yanzhou City are more expensive than mine. You guys can't live there."
He also talked about a lot of other things, to the general effect that if they didn't live here, they might have to sleep in the wilderness. There was a war going on outside, and they wouldn't even know how they would die by then.
Yichen was very angry after hearing this, and just as he was about to teach this guy who didn't understand anything a lesson, King Huai had already pulled him away: "Okay, we will stay here today, hurry up and prepare a room for us.
"
Yichen was puzzled. Although it was a little late now, it was not as good as all the inns. Why would the prince have to humiliate himself so much to accommodate this villain?
Prince Huai had already paid the money with a smile, and Yichen didn't dare to say anything. He secretly whipped the black-hearted shopkeeper hundreds of times in his heart.
Prince Huai not only chose to live here, but also asked the shopkeeper's wife to cook a dinner for them. Although the shady shopkeeper patted his chest and assured them that their food was absolutely conscientious and they were mentally prepared, Yichen was still served.
The food was so shocking that I was speechless.
Not to mention the clear soup and lack of water in the noodles as the staple food, there was really no oil or water in the few vegetables that were served, let alone the shredded pork.
Yichen had been holding back since he entered the door. At this time, he couldn't help but said viciously: "Boss, your family used to raise rabbits."
The store owner really answered excitedly: "Exactly, I wonder how you found out about it?"
"There are not enough snacks in the space. I can survive by eating some vegetables with clear soup and water every day. What else can it be if it is not a rabbit spirit?"
Prince Huai glanced at him helplessly: "Eating vegetarian food occasionally is good for physical and mental health. If you are full and have nothing to do, why not go out and exercise?"
Yichen curled his lips and stopped talking, but he still stabbed the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, as if he had some deep grudge against him.
"Boss, my brother is too young, so his words are inevitably a bit reckless. Boss, please bear with me."
"It doesn't matter. I think your brother is already a talented person at such a young age. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Yichen is still having trouble with noodles here, and the topic of Prince Huai has changed from his ignorant brother to the current situation and the war in front of him.
The shop owner's business was probably very poor. There were not many people living here all year round, let alone anyone who could afford to talk to him. When he was happy, he even took out a few jars of good wine out of his own pocket to keep Prince Huai from getting drunk.
Not return.
Yichen took the lead and confirmed that the wine did not cost them money, so he was relieved to let Prince Huai and him go home without getting drunk. He knew Prince Huai's drinking capacity very well, and he was famous for his ability to drink a thousand cups.
, if you don’t want to get drunk with him, this little boss is still a bit immature.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the boss to speak loudly when he spoke, and he wanted to get another drink without hesitation. His mother-in-law pinched him from behind, but it had no effect at all. Instead, he was severely scolded.
A meal.
"What do you, a woman, know? You are so short-sighted. How can I let you dictate what I want to do? Go back to your room and stay there."
Yichen guessed that he seldom got drunk, so he didn't know what he would say when he was drunk. He compared the attitude of the shop owner towards his wife when they first entered the door, and compared the physical difference between the two, Yichen
I felt relieved, and I wasn't so angry even after my money was stolen.
Yichen was still admiring him in his heart, but King Huai had already started his real purpose. After he got the store owner drunk, he began to interrogate him about what the so-called battle was about.
Since the innkeeper runs such an inn with little business, he naturally pays great attention to this aspect in order to charge high prices.
King Huai's question completely opened up his conversation: "Brother Zhang, let me tell you, in fact, this so-called war will not affect us at all. That place is far away from us."
"Then why is there still such panic here?" Not only are there fewer people doing business, but even pedestrians are almost invisible. The entire Yanzhou city is so empty.
"Then a large army is fighting outside, how can there not be a few deserters running around? Although our place has not been disturbed by the war yet, it is troublesome enough for these deserters to grab things here."
"Don't they know how to restrain their subordinates?" King Huai frowned displeased.
The shopkeeper didn't know the identity of the person sitting in front of him, so he complained to him heartily: "You don't know, those adults have so many things to do, how can they have time to take care of these one or two people, and you have given them a free advantage.
It’s a disaster for the people here.”
King Huai comforted him, casually asked about some other things, and almost found out everything the shop owner knew. Then he went back to the room to rest with satisfaction.
When they left the next day, they were not surprised to see that the store owner had a big bruise on his head and he was a little listless. When they saw them coming to check out, they reluctantly exchanged greetings with them and said that they are welcome to come back next time.
