idle mistress

Chapter 156
As night fell, a carriage came in a hurry and arrived at the entrance of Bai'an Inn in Tong County.

The waiter came up from the shop and asked, "Are you going to eat or stay?"

The strong man driving the car said: "For accommodation, we have two upper rooms." While talking, a delicate woman was carried out from the car.

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop was taken aback for a moment, he wasn't a philistine, since people in this world are born with different grades.

The two women and one man in front of me were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they did not look like people who could afford a high-class house.

"Guest officer, the upper-class room in our inn costs 5 yuan for one night." He kindly reminded.

After hearing this, the man said without changing his face, "I want this first-class room."

"Okay! There are two rooms in Jinzi No. [-] and No. [-] rooms."

As soon as he heard that it was a guest who wanted to stay in the Jinzihao guest room, the shopkeeper came out from the store to welcome him: "The Jinzihao is upstairs, the three of you, please follow me..."

Lu Huijuan went upstairs behind them. She had never lived in a hotel in her age. When the waiter said that it would cost 5 cents to stay here for one night, she immediately felt that this was a black hotel.

5 pennies, dare your parents sell a daughter for only enough money to stay here for one night?
She stood in Jinzi No. [-] room and looked around. The room was indeed big, but apart from being bigger and cleaner, and the doors and windows were carved with beautiful carvings, she didn't see anything special about it.

A clerk knocked on the door and came in, nodding and bowing at the two women, pouring tea for a while, and delivering fruit and pastries for a while.

"You two girls, please take it easy. If you need anything, you can call the little one at any time."

After the waiter finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shen Qing who was sitting on the couch, then turned around and walked out with a low eyebrow.

As soon as he left, Lu Huijuan immediately said in disbelief: "Shen Qing, you said it really costs 5 yuan to stay here for one night? Are you crazy? This wall is not made of gold."

After she finished speaking, she saw Shen Qing's calm face, she was already used to that look, but on the other hand, she seemed to be more and more unusual.

Lu Huijuan quickly shut up.

At night, Lu Huijuan and Shen Qing were lying on the same bed. She wanted to take advantage of the darkness to escape, but she retreated after seeing the darkness outside the window.

I thought, such an expensive room, if I can’t live for nothing, I’ll just settle for one more night, and it’s not too late to leave tomorrow if I find a chance.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and slept comfortably on the bed all night.

The next morning, as soon as the two woke up, Mu Xiu came to knock on the door, and then handed a list to her, and told her to go to the pharmacy outside to buy according to the list.

When Lu Huijuan heard the words, she couldn't help but secretly elated... Isn't the opportunity here?
She took the money that Mu Xiu handed over, spent it in a hurry and went out the door.

As soon as she got out of the inn, she quickened her pace, buried her head in one direction and walked straight. After walking a long way, she slowed down.

I thought to myself, this Tong County is not big, but it is not small, and Mu Xiu has a cripple, so it is really not easy to find him.

Holding the money bag in her hand, Lu Huijuan was very happy in her heart. She never thought that when the time came, she would get a windfall.

Right now, she needs to find a place to stay for herself.

Lu Huijuan started wandering through the streets and alleys in Tong County...

She first bought a few sets of clothes for herself, and bought a new pair of cloth shoes.

Tired of shopping, I found a random shop to eat a bowl of noodles. A woman in the small shop heard that she was looking for a place to live. Coincidentally, a small single room next to her house had just been vacated, and she said she could introduce her. .

Lu Huijuan agreed without even thinking about it.

The woman led her into a residential area, and the two of them hadn't walked a few steps when a man came out from a dark alley and hit her hard.

Before Lu Huijuan could react, the money bag in her hand was taken away by the other party.

She was startled, and screamed: "Grab... steal the money..." She wanted to chase after him, but in the blink of an eye, he was already gone.

"Girl, what's the matter?" The woman chased after her and asked with concern.

"Ma'am, that person just robbed my purse." While speaking, Lu Huijuan subconsciously fumbled in her pocket.

As soon as she touched it, her head buzzed even more, and she saw a hole in her pocket, and the silver that was full of it had disappeared...

"Silver, my silver..."

She was so anxious that she cried...

Seeing this, the aunt next to her said, "This world is really uneasy, girl, how much money did you lose? How about I take you to report to the government?"

After hearing this, Lu Huijuan's feet went limp and she slumped on the ground.

The money she received was not clean, even if she had the courage to go to the yamen to report to the officials...
-
The vicinity of Leigong Mountain to the north of Kyoto is an important military location of the Dacheng Dynasty for dozens of miles.

There is the largest training ground here.

In June, under the scorching sun, the soldiers were carrying heavy loads in the mud. Not far away, there were soldiers driving chariots back and forth, and the dust was flying.

Sweat was mixed with sand and dust, and the soldiers cried out in agony. They looked at King Ling who was riding on a horse not far away, but they dared not speak out.

Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals are quite puzzled. As the regent of the dynasty, this general holds a lot of power. Shouldn't he sit firmly in the court and be accompanied by beautiful women every day?Why do you prefer to linger in this barracks.

This general seems to have inexhaustible energy, he drills and trains his troops day and night, and trains them mortals like iron men.

Chariot driving, obstacle course running, riding and archery, wrestling, and martial arts are all not scary. The scary thing is that this man also asked them to practice diving, holding their breath, and carrying weights.

Thousands of soldiers, each carrying a large piece of wood on their backs, were crossing the mountains; the wet wood more than ten feet long made people breathless.

The dust blowing past is even more suffocating.

And their great general, riding a white horse, looked majestic and leisurely, while the flag soldiers behind him held up the military flag, and the wind blew across the mountains...

Seeing the low morale of the soldiers, the deputy general next to the general couldn't help shouting at the soldiers:
"Soldiers, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must be observed; soldiers, don't be discouraged, you are the strongest."

Zhao Yan looked around, pursed his lips, and said unhappily, "Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet? Shout out slogans..."

Following the general's order, the soldiers began to shout slogans. Thousands of people spoke in unison, and the slogans suddenly resounded through the sky, frightening the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests to flee everywhere...

The soldiers are suffering, but the general rides his horse and walks leisurely beside the team.

Walking along, a touch of eye-catching red was exposed in the mountains and forests.
