Chapter 68 Accommodation

After leaving Ningcheng, walking west along the official road, at first there were stretches of cultivated land on both sides, but as Ningcheng became smaller and smaller behind them, the people walked farther and farther away, and the cultivated land gradually disappeared, replaced by lush weeds.

The weeds are as tall as a person, and a little bit of the roadside hangs down on the official road, but there are not many. It can be seen that the traffic of this official road is not small.

From time to time, the three bodyguards walking behind explained to the four what had happened along the road, imparting their own experience.

For a city like Ningcheng that does not rely on rivers, land escorts are mainly used. Land escorts are relatively more tiring than water ones. Fortunately, this is the first day of departure, and everyone is in a state of complete energy. As we talked, time didn't pass slowly.

At noon, a group of people recuperated a little under the shade of the trees at the edge of the forest.

The distance between Ningcheng and Shuncheng is relatively close, it belongs to the kind, it is difficult to arrive in one day, but there is a relatively generous distance in two days, so there is plenty of rest time, and you can stop for a while when you are tired.

Chen Jin handed the horse over to an old bodyguard, and asked him to feed the horse with Kocute, while Chen Jin himself took Shen Fei to guard the team.

Escorts generally don't choose to rest near the woods. The forest's view is not wide enough, and they are not easy to spot when they are ambushed. They usually find an unobstructed flat ground.

However, there are mountains between the two cities, and they are basically forests. There are not many open spaces to choose from, so be careful, and be careful when resting near the woods. Abnormal situations can be found by hearing, and speaking will affect the brothers on sentry to discover the enemy's situation in the first place.

If you are going east, to Xucheng, the road is basically plain, and the bodyguards usually ride on horseback.

However, it is not convenient to travel on horseback in mountainous areas. When a horse-drawn carriage transports goods, escorts often need to push the cart forward. This is why the nine people only brought two horses, one for cargo and one for emergency.

After everyone had rested and finished eating and drinking, they continued on the road. Today's schedule is not too much. Just climb over the mountain before dark and arrive at a town in the valley.

It was not a town at first, but two small villages. As people in distress settled here from time to time, the population gathered more and more, and gradually merged into a town.

It was the traveling merchants and bodyguards who made this town more and more prosperous. As we all know, the economic development of transportation hubs is always driven by tourists. Day after day, the town gradually prospered.

When the Huoshaoyun was just formed, a group of people happened to come to the edge of the town. Every time Xingyuan went to Shuncheng, he would rest here for a night, and this time was no exception.

On the edge of the town, Chen Jin waved his hand to invite Shen Fei, who was also the only one among the four players who he could safely arrange individual missions.

Shen Fei hurried two steps, came out from the team, and moved to Chen Jin's side.

Chen Jin asked: "Do you know if you don't live forever?"

Shen Fei nodded, and replied with a smile: "Brother Chen, I know, which house we usually live in, and who is the shopkeeper, please tell me, I will go find out the truth first."

Hearing his answer, Chen Jin felt relieved, and entrusted him: "Lv'an Inn, the innkeeper is called Li Laizi, and the little one is a little hunchbacked. You go and play by the rules."

"Okay, you are waiting for my news." Shen Fei agreed, and trotted into the town.

Chen Jin looked at Shen Fei's back, nodded slightly, quite satisfied, such a worry-free newcomer is hard to come across.

The so-called "three don't stays" are: not staying in new shops, not staying in prostitution shops, and not staying in shops that have changed owners.

It’s easy to understand if you don’t live in a new store. Escorts usually follow a fixed route. For the inns along the way, they will choose a few inns that they are relatively familiar with. If they stay more often, they will usually become good friends with the inns and take care of each other.

As for the newly opened store, the details are unknown, and it is not clear whether it is a black store, which is risky.

Generally, at the entrance or in the shop of a prostitution shop, there will be some women welcoming customers, which is easy to distinguish.Escorts don't live in prostitution shops for two reasons.

First, I am afraid that some brothers will lose control of their belts and leave their posts without authorization, and they will be careless when doing that.

Second, prostitutes are usually mixed with good and bad people, and the probability of encountering bad guys is higher. If a thief steals the darts, it will be broken.

And the shop that changed hands is also easy to understand. There must be a reason for the sudden change of owner of the old shop. Before the truth is found out, this kind of shop should be kept at a respectful distance and not take this risk.Escort, the main thing is to be as stable as an old dog.

Shen Fei trotted into the town, the inn was easy to identify, not only had a signboard, but also a floating guise, one could tell by looking up.

The Lv'an inn entrusted by Chen Jin is just beside the town, built along the road, with a wide view.

Shen Fei walked around the hotel, the building was two floors high, the backyard was not small, and the overall look was normal, so he went straight into the store.

As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed waiter bowed his waist and leaned over, and said with a flattering smile: "Guest officer, are you a professional or staying in the shop?"

"Dajian", the full name is to send the tip of the tongue, the original meaning is to point out the door, it is good to have a bite, to send the tip of the tongue, to fill the stomach.So when the waiter in the inn said it, he meant to eat.

Shen Fei inspected the store first, the door was facing the counter, there were five or six tables in the hall, and there was a staircase on the side, leading directly to the second floor.

Behind the counter was a middle-aged man with white hair on his head. Hearing the movement, he was looking up.

Shen Fei nodded to Xiaoer, then passed him and said to the middle-aged man: "You are the shopkeeper, right? What's your name?"

The man is the shopkeeper of this store. He has been in business for so many years, and with his vicious eyesight, he can roughly guess his origin from Shen Fei's clothes.

With a lancet on his waist, a spear on his back, and luggage slanted across his chest, he is a martial artist, but before entering the door, ask the shopkeeper who he is, and it is most likely an escort.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I am the shopkeeper here. My real name is Li Ershi. Because of my inconvenient legs and feet, I was nicknamed Li Cripple by the merchants."

Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded. Many of the juniors these days were a bit hunched, and he noticed it as soon as he entered the door. At this time, he confirmed the identity of the shopkeeper, which was consistent with what Chen Jin said, so there should be no problem.

He responded with a smile: "Treasurer Li, I am from Xingyuan Escort Bureau, nine people and two horses, you make arrangements first, I will go back and report."

Hearing this, Lame Li responded with a smile, "Okay", and ordered Xiao Er to clean up the guest room first and get ready.

He knew the rules of bodyguards staying in the store. The vanguards were just scouting the way, and they had to go back and report that they were all right before the bodyguard convoy came over.

When Shen Fei returned, a group of people were waiting for him, he did not hesitate, and simply reported a few words, Chen Jin nodded in satisfaction, and then led the team to this Lv'an inn.

An old bodyguard took the condemned prisoner for a stroll, and led the carriage to the backyard under Xiao Er's guidance.

The other two old bodyguards, respectively leading the cute and magicians, wandered around the store. Seeing this, Shen Fei exchanged a glance with the last old bodyguard, and went to the back kitchen of the inn together without saying a word. .

Seeing this, Chen Jin nodded, and was more satisfied with Shen Fei.
