mortal clerk

Chapter 51
Before entering the pass, Luo Wushuang felt a little nervous. It is said that more than two months have passed since Yu Qiudu's incident. The entire army of the patrol riders was wiped out, and the soldiers guarding the pass suffered heavy losses. How could there be no sign at all?Would he have been waiting for himself here at the gate of hell?

Although he didn't show up to kill during the process, Asina had seen Li Qingniu and Yufu Shizi together.It stands to reason that Asina should report to Guimen County.Along the way, neither pursuers nor people from the north were seen, which is really strange.

After thinking about it, he arrived at the gate of the pass city. When he just left the gate, there was a loud sound of horseshoes, and a regular army of Guimen County came from a distance, with a battalion of more than [-] people, rushing towards the gate.

"Oops! It seems that I can't hide!"

Just when Luo Wushuang was about to fight to the death with his guns, the battalion ignored them, went straight through the doorway, and headed south!
Confused Luo Wushuang wiped the sweat from his palms before relaxing.Although most of the sergeants in this battalion are warriors of rank one or two, there are only a dozen or so warriors of rank three or four, and the leader is only rank five.But if this army forms a joint attack camp, it will not be easy for him to retreat completely.

After the gate of ghosts is closed, the city gate is not a city. You need to continue to the north and walk three miles along the official road with thousands of walls to reach the large main city.

Because the road is only five feet wide, and there is a bottomless abyss below, countless chariots and horses have been frightened and fell down.Therefore, all the handlebars got off the carts and led the horses, and Li Qingniu didn't dare to push him too hard, so he pulled his own old horse and walked outside the carriage with the guards.

Seeing such a dangerous and magnificent environment, Li Qingniu was shocked in his heart.

"Uncle Shen, there are cliffs going up here, and abysses going down here. It's really dangerous!"

"Have seen it for a long time, boy, the reason why this place is called the gate of ghosts is precisely because of the checkpoint here. Passing it once is like walking through the gate of ghosts! But after passing these three miles, it will be very different..."

"Is it true that after passing these three miles, you will enter the Guifang Plain?"

Old Shen was a little unbelievable, the mountain baby who was still ignorant of the world before, actually understood so much in less than half a year.Can't help but wonder.

"Boy, how do you know Ghost Fang Pingyuan?"

Li Qingniu shook "Shenzhou Regional Chronicles" in his hand and said, "Read a book!"

"Hahaha, let me tell you!"

……

Although the road was dangerous, fortunately there were no accidents. After a while, we came to a mountain pass. After passing the mountain pass, the vision suddenly widened!The Guifang Plain, which is more than [-] miles across, is low in the southeast and high in the northwest. Guimen Pass is just located in the southwest gap of the plain. There are more than [-] troops stationed there. It is also the first commercial pass in the south. There are more than [-] households.

When a group of people entered the city, it was already late, but the lights were still brightly lit, and the people coming and going were mainly caravans and sergeants on rotation.Natural inn restaurants, Goulan tile houses, and trading shops are very lively.

Even Li Qingniu, who likes to be quiet recently, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.After all, no matter how prosperous the book says, I have never seen it before.Therefore, his eyes swept across the street with excitement in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Old Shen thought, this is right!Looks like he's out!
"Hahaha, boy, you Uncle Shen are happy today, stay here later, take a bath, and take you to have a good meal!"

"Well!"

.........

The caravan entered the city and stayed at an inn called Nantong.Li Qingniu was not stingy either, he spent two gold coins and asked for a room on the second floor.

Originally, I thought that the Datong shop in the backyard on the first floor would be acceptable, but considering that I would go to the night market with Lao Shen at night, and there was no place to take a shower on the first floor, it was a luxury.

In the room, although the space is not large, the layout is also considered elegant.I can't help but sigh in my heart, the cost of staying in this place for one night is the income of my hometown village for nearly a year.

As soon as he settled down, there was a waiter knocking on the door.

"Guest, your bath water has been prepared, do you want to use it now!"

"Use it now."

So the waiter pushed the door open and entered, followed by two men, each carrying two buckets of hot water, and went straight to the back of the screen.The waiter poured water and greeted him warmly.

"Guest, you've worked hard all the way! This is the latest medicated bath in our store. It is prepared by the pharmacist in the county. It is the most effective for relaxing meridians, activating blood circulation, relieving fatigue and fatigue!"

Naturally, Li Qingniu didn't understand, so he didn't speak. After a while, the water was already poured.Before leaving, Xiaoer also explained that the hotter the medicine bath, the better the effect.

After the people left, Li Qingniu also wanted to try the magic of this so-called medicated bath, so he took off his clothes and lay down. Although the water temperature was slightly high, the whole body was comfortable once inside, and accompanied by a faint medicinal fragrance, it was very pleasant. is comfortable.I thought it was worth the money!When I was young, I either used a big wooden tub to soak at home, or played in the creek behind the mountain. I have never enjoyed this way of bathing.

Thinking about it, a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind: "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality", and I couldn't remember which book I read it.Immediately felt less comfortable.

After getting up, I found a new set of clothes from the package prepared by my mother. Although it was only made of ordinary cotton and linen, it was also very comfortable and refreshing, and it still looked a bit like this.

After changing clothes, I looked at the cloth bag that my father left for me in the package. Although I already had the answer in my heart, I couldn't help opening it, but I saw that it was a thin apron, made of a strange material, with the luster of silk fabric Silky, yet seemingly tough.After looking at it repeatedly for a long time, I can't see the name,

"It's really strange that such a thing has been passed down for 600 years."

Immediately thinking of what Widow Zhang and Sister Wang Ergou were wearing, I couldn't help but blushed!I thought to myself, there was no special meaning when I peeked at it before, but I feel a little uncomfortable after watching it today.I had to put it away quickly.

At this moment, Lao Shen suddenly opened the door and saw Li Qingniu changed into new clothes.

"Boy, let's go! Hey, have you changed your clothes?"

"My mother prepared new clothes for me, I was reluctant to wear them before, why don't I go to the city now!"

"Hahaha, I'm not talking about clothes!"

"what is that?"

"Speaking of you, after taking a shower and changing into new clothes, I feel like a different person! Except for being a little darker, I'm not so ugly anymore! Hahahaha!"

"Old Shen! You are ugly!"

The two left the inn, the street was still lively, Lao Shen was familiar with this place, and he introduced it as he walked.

"This Guimenguan Night Market is the most fun place in our Guimen County. Although the city is not big, it has no walls and is full of imports and exports, so merchants who come from south to north will choose to stop here. After all, as long as If you go south from here, there are no decent places within ten thousand miles! So every night, after dinner, everyone will go out for a stroll. One is to buy some things for the road, and the other is to go.”

Li Qingniu saw that he was playing tricks on purpose, and said anxiously: "You said it!"

Old Shen chuckled and said with a little embarrassment:
"You are still young, you don't understand! Hahaha!"

"Come on, don't say it."

Just as they were talking, the two came to a restaurant called "Weiyuelou". Although it was dark, it was brightly lit, and the building was four stories high, very spacious and grand.

"We're here, let's go in! This 'Weiyuelou' is a good place, not only the food is good, but also a small trading market, let's take you to see the world."

Li Qingniu was also curious, what was special about it, touched the bamboo "stick" on his back, confirmed that the iron sword was still there, and followed into the restaurant.

　From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!
