I have an inn in Xianxia

Chapter 165
The demon king was sealed for 60 years, and once he was born, the blood stained the earth.

In the capital of Xia Guohuang, the sword was used to overthrow the palace. On that day, Xia Guohuang's capital gathered a formation, and the demon gates were not allowed to enter the city.

Afterwards, the snow spirit beast blocked the road with heavy snow, and Mozun ordered Yin soldiers to besiege the city for 76 days.

This period of time is called the 76 days of life and death.

In 76 days, the food in the city was exhausted, and wailing was everywhere. The originally expensive spirit stones became the cheapest thing. Pin Lingshi, there is still a price but no market.

For 76 days, there were corpses everywhere in the imperial capital, and what's more, the flesh of the dead was cut off.

In those days, people lived like beasts.

All kinds of words came to mind, and Lu Cheng sighed. This is the general trend, and no one can change it.

The strength of the demon king is not something Wuzhou can resist at all. If it is not for the dragon veins gathered in the capital of Emperor Xia, it is impossible to stop the demon king.

There was nothing Lu Cheng could do about it, it was fate, and after all, he was the one most firmly controlled by fate, no matter what others said, he was free, but he couldn't even get out of the inn.

As for Xiao Ruo, Lu Cheng is not very worried. The Xiao family in Xishan is also a super family. He is also uncomfortable if he has to attack them in groups.

After thanking Pei Yishan, Lu Cheng told them that if they run out of food in the future, they can come to his place, and they will pay enough to eat.

"Shopkeeper Lu, your words can save lives at a critical moment."

The two girls didn't stay too much today. The upheaval in the imperial city left them busy with many things. Taking the time to come over and talk to Lu Cheng is enough to treat him as a friend.

Lu Cheng, on the other hand, was naturally busy with the task.

What's worth mentioning is that in a few days, his carving skills have made great progress, and his proficiency has increased to [-], which is considered to be one-tenth of the completion.

Looking at the time of the gourmet space, it is not very sufficient. He has too few customers here, and Xia Lun and Shaoqin alone cannot support the normal operation of the gourmet space.

"It doesn't matter, let's see what breeds are available first."

There was a trance in front of him, and he came to the food space. After counting for 10 minutes, Lu Cheng returned to the inn with a dejected look on his face.

The expression on his face proved that he returned in vain this time.

At the door, a middle-aged man with a square face walked into the inn.

"You?" Lu Cheng sat behind the counter and looked at the other party, with no good looks.

The person who came was General Yue Zhengyue.

Yue Zheng didn't say anything to Lu Cheng's attitude, but smiled apologetically, "Shopkeeper, please forgive me for what happened yesterday."

"Hehe, you don't need to say anything more. I won't say that you are wrong because you have different positions. It's just that your actions make me very unhappy."

"The old man also thinks that what he has done is somewhat lacking, so he came here today to make amends."

"Oh? Sorry? What can you give me? Food?"

"Haha, the shopkeeper was joking. Before that girl from Baixiaoge ran away from you, you should also know the current situation in the imperial capital. Food is very important."

"Then tell yourself, what do you want to apologize for?" Lu Cheng asked.

General Yue was a little speechless when asked by Lu Cheng. Those who practice martial arts value fame. If someone can take the initiative to admit their mistakes, that would be the best way to apologize, especially him himself. He is a general of a country. , It is very rare to have such a posture. Ordinary people have long been terrified when they heard this. This is the first time I have seen someone ask themselves what they want to pay.

"General Yue, it seems that you are not sincere. You said you were going to apologize, but you didn't prepare anything."

"Shopkeeper, you have a real temperament. Yuemou's behavior made the shopkeeper laugh. Why don't the shopkeeper make another request. As long as it doesn't harm the country, Yuemou will definitely do it."

"That's good!" Lu Cheng clapped his hands, "In our hometown, there is a saying of pleading guilty. If you make a mistake, you can carry the thorns on your back to show your sincerity. How about General Yue, you can carry two strands of thorns on your back, and then you can say the matter of pleading guilty." How are you?"

The meaning in Lu Cheng's words is very clear, and General Yue is not stupid, so he can understand it naturally.

"Okay! It's a pleading guilty, so Yue will go to find Vitex, and then let the shopkeeper punish him."

"Please." Lu Cheng stretched out his hand to the door.

General Yue laughed twice, and left.

As for Lu Cheng himself, of course he would not really do anything to General Yue, this time he just showed his dissatisfaction.

Today, there are many customers who enter the store, but none of them spend money on consumption. They all want to buy other ingredients. The prices vary from high to low, and their attitudes are different.

Lu Cheng was pointed at by a middle-aged woman and scolded, saying that he didn't make money even if he had money, and he looked like a poor ghost.

In response, Lu Cheng just heheed twice and kicked her out.

On the second day, there was no one, not even Shaoqin's two daughters, only General Yue with two thorns on his back.

"What to eat?" Lu Cheng asked him. This already showed his attitude. Since a general can put down his posture and treat him like this, it would be too stingy for him to care about every detail.

"I won't eat. There are a lot of things going on in the imperial capital recently. Wait a little longer, and then come to the shopkeeper for a drink."

"Welcome."

The past few days have been very pale. People who enter the store come to buy ingredients, and the price is higher every time.

Shaoqin and the two came over to eat something.

"Shopkeeper, the price of your food seems to be quite high now. After a while, the average price is estimated to be the same."

The two women sighed, this world makes people uncomfortable, the snow does not melt, the formation does not disperse, everyone is like a bird trapped in a cage.

Lu Cheng shook his head helplessly. It seemed impossible for him to save time for going out.

After seeing off the two girls, he stood in front of the inn and looked up at the sky, which was gray.

"Xiao Pao Tang, it seems that I may not be able to go when you get married."

He reached out and groped around his waist, and took out a piece of emerald green.

"Your jade pendant is still with me. Didn't you always want to? Next time I see you, I will return it to you."

Another three days passed, and something special happened in the imperial capital.

Lu Cheng saw with his own eyes that three people ran across the snow in front of the door. Two of them held a machete and cut one into the snow for a bag of grain hanging on the waist of the predecessor.

The blood stained the ground and melted the snow. This scene looked so ridiculous and ironic.

In the face of a certain predicament, people will gradually start killing each other, and the act of encircling the formation in the imperial capital is nothing but a slow death.

This kind of situation is not rare, it can be said that it can happen in every corner of the imperial capital at any time.

At night, there was the sound of iron and steel intersecting, and during the day, officers and soldiers came out to clean up the corpses.
