One day later, Chai Yan and his party rode a carriage to a village on the border called Pingyuan Village.
The plains in this area are very vast, extending all the way to the Amokhahar Mountains in Muyue, and are closely adjacent to the Qingyuan Pass.
At noon, Chai Yan and his entourage found a restaurant in the village, intending to have something to eat first and inquire about how to get to Qingyuan Pass after entering Muyue Kingdom.
After the four people parked the carriage, they entered the restaurant together.
The owner of the restaurant is a woman, about forty years old. She is enthusiastically dealing with the guests in the store. The first impression she gives is that she is well-spoken and extremely talkative, as if she was born to do business.
As soon as the proprietress turned around, she saw Chai Yan and the four of them, and immediately came over to greet them with smiles on their faces.
"Oops, it turns out to be four immortals. Come on, come on, you're all tired. Please come in, please come in..."
While they were talking, the proprietress had already led Chai Yan and the others to an empty table.
The proprietress took a rag and wiped it hard, then said enthusiastically: "Four immortals can choose my shop, the shop is really... really... Hey, wait, then
How can I put it in a nutshell... The room is full of ashes, yes, the room is full of ashes! Sit down, sit down..."
Jimo Qiao was immediately laughed at, and couldn't help correcting him: "Mrs. Boss, you want to say that Peng Pi is brilliant, right?"
"Ah?" The landlady was suddenly stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said sheepishly: "Yes, yes, it's when you hit the wall that you shine, and when you hit the wall, you shine..."
When Jimo Qiao heard that something was wrong, he continued to correct him: "Madam boss, it's not that you've hit a wall, it's Pengpi who is right..."
"Ah, yes, yes..."
The proprietress didn't care at all which word it was. After saying something to Jimo Qiao, she asked Chai Yan: "Master Immortal, what do you want to eat? The shop has all kinds of dishes, I guarantee your satisfaction."
The landlady is also a person who has seen countless people. From the time Chai Yan and the other two entered the house to when they sat down, she could already tell who had the highest status.
Chai Yan looked at the menu on the wall, then ordered a few vegetarian dishes, and asked for a pot of the most expensive tea in the store to express that he was satisfied.
Soon, the landlady brought meals and tea, as well as a small plate of homemade pickles.
After they started eating, Jimo Qiao asked: "Brother, it's already noon. Should we stay in the village tonight, or should we set off directly?"
Chai Yan was not sure either, so he thought for a while and said, "I'm going to ask around after I finish eating. If it's convenient to find a place to stay on the way back, then we can go directly. If it's not convenient, then we can stay overnight."
This happened to be heard by the proprietress who was passing by. She immediately came to the table and said with a smile: "It turns out that the four immortals are going to Muyue Kingdom."
"Not bad." Chai Yan nodded slowly.
The landlady was very enthusiastic and immediately said: "Four immortals, if you are willing to believe me, it is best to stay overnight in Pingyuan Village today and set off again early tomorrow morning. In this case, you can reach Muyue Kingdom before dark.
Jubao Town, if you leave soon, it will get dark halfway, and you will be in trouble by then."
"What kind of trouble?" Cheng Jiu couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
The landlady looked at Cheng Jiu and said, "There are wolves in the night, so wouldn't they be in great trouble?"
"Ah! There are still wolves?" Jimo Qiao suddenly felt timid and a little scared.
Chai Yan consoled him: "Don't worry, we'll stay one night and start our journey again after dawn."
"Okay, that's best." Jimo Qiao nodded hurriedly.
The landlady said at this time: "Four immortals, I would like to say one more thing, even if you are on your way after dawn, you must be careful, because after entering Muyue Kingdom, you may encounter horse bandits, and those people are not easy to mess with.
, so cruel and ruthless."
Hearing this, Jimo Qiao was not afraid but smiled: "The horse bandits have nothing to be afraid of, right senior brother."
Chai Yan smiled slightly and did not answer her words.
The landlady thought to herself, you kid, you don’t understand at all. Horse bandits are much scarier than those wolves.
After a pause, the landlady asked again: "I wonder where the four immortals are going to Muyue Kingdom?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly and said: "Not necessarily, just take things as they come. The purpose of Pindao's trip is mainly to travel and gain experience."
"Oh, that's it, then I understand, I understand..." The landlady immediately nodded.
Then, the landlady kindly reminded: "Four immortals, after you go to Muyue Kingdom, you'd better not get too close to the Qingyuan Pass. I heard that there seems to be another war over there. Those arrogant Piz people should not
I know why, but he also said that he would attack the Qingyuan Pass, and it seems that he is already deploying troops to punish the generals."
When Chai Yan heard this, he wanted to know more about Qingyuan Pass, but the landlady didn't know much, so she kept talking about it. In short, she told Chai Yan everything she could think of.
When the landlady walked away, Chai Yan said: "It seems that starting from tomorrow, we have to speed up and hurry up."
"Yeah!" Jimo Qiao nodded vigorously.
Cheng Jiu just nodded and said, "Senior brother, I suddenly had an idea..."
"Tell me." Chai Yan took a sip of tea.
Cheng Jiu looked around, lowered his voice and said: "The road from here to Qingyuan Pass is smooth and smooth. Can we skip the carriage and ride fast on horseback? In this case, we should be able to go much faster."
When Yu Tie heard this, he immediately nodded and said it was very feasible.
Chai Yan also thought this was a good idea, but he was still worried and said: "Then we have to buy horses here. We only have half a day left. Can we buy a suitable horse?"
Cheng Jiu glanced at the busy landlady and said softly: "How about asking the landlady, maybe she can help."
Chai Yan thought for a while, then called the landlady to him and asked about buying a horse.
The landlady immediately clapped her hands and said: "Oh, the four immortals asked at the right time. A few horse dealers came from Muyue Kingdom two days ago. I heard that they will leave tomorrow morning. If the four of you rush there now,
It should be possible to catch up."
"Madam boss, where are those people selling horses?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.
The landlady immediately raised her finger in one direction and said, "Here, right on the northern border, those people sell not only horses but also sheep. You can see them as soon as you go there. They're easy to find."
After asking for the exact location, Chai Yan took out a large piece of broken silver and placed it on the table: "Madam boss, this is meal money..."
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and change the money for you right now." The landlady happily picked up the silver.
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "No need, the extra ones will be treated as thanks to you, the boss lady."
"Oh, thank you very much, Immortal, thank you very much." The landlady got the silver reward, and she was instantly happy.
Chai Yan turned to the three of them and said, "Hurry up and finish your meal, and go to the horse dealer early to see the horse dealer."
Next, the four people quickly wiped out a table of food, then boarded the carriage and drove towards the border where the horse dealer was.
