I want to cultivate swordsman

Calculating the time, it has been half a month since we left Lin'an County, and the convoy has already driven more than half of its journey to Beijing. According to the current speed, the date of arrival in Qianjing will be two or three days earlier than the original plan, which makes Gu Qingyue My heart, which had been tight all the time, relaxed a little.

At the end of noon, the convoy drove into Leeward Ridge along the official road, but soon stopped due to some incidents.

"Miss."

The coachman stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said, "The road ahead is blocked by an inn."

Hearing what the coachman said, Gu Qingyue frowned and said, "How can there be an inn in this barren mountain?"

Yes, the coachman was also puzzled. The route to Beijing was explored years ago. There is no inn here. Besides, how can a serious businessman spend money to build an inn in such a bird? no shit place.

The coachman said: "There may be some problems, we should be more careful."

Gu Qingyue said: "Is it possible to go around directly?"

The coachman shook his head and said helplessly: "There is only this road nearby, and it is blocked by that inn in the middle, and the open spaces on both sides are also surrounded by fences. If you want to go there, you have to walk through the inn."

This is correct, there is only one road in Leeward Ridge, and there are high mountains and dense forests on both sides. If you want to change the road, you have to go back a few days, which is obviously something that Gu Qingyue cannot accept.But how could there be an extra inn, which happened to be blocked in the middle of the road? Doesn't it make it clear that they want to make some black-hearted money.

In Gu Qingyue's mind, this inn is most likely a den of bandits, who specialize in killing people and stealing goods.

But she wasn't afraid at all, after all, a lot of guards were hired in the car, and there were monks like Xu Zhiqiu, so she planned to let the convoy pass through without changing lanes.

The coachman didn't intervene when he heard what she meant, and drove the carriage to the door of the inn with a whip.

The guards got out of the carriage ahead of time, stood at the front of the convoy, and deliberately held the saber around their waists to their chests.

Xu Zhiqiu lifted the curtain of the car and looked towards the large-scale inn. He was also quite curious about the inn that suddenly appeared in the barren mountains. The houses, courtyards, and railings of the inn are all made of solid wood, not made by ghosts.

This is interesting.

Who will build the inn here.

"Bumpy-"

The horses in the convoy let out a series of barks, and the guard with scars on his face knocked on the door of the inn. Soon, the people inside must have heard the movement, and someone came out from the door.

After seeing the people who came out, the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

The one who came out was a short man, only as tall as an eight-year-old child, but his face looked quite old, probably in his 30s, and it may be due to congenital problems. Not only is he short, but he also has some slopes when walking. foot.

Judging from his attire, he should be a waiter in charge of the office. He is dressed in a gray cloth with a rag that is often used to wipe the table on his shoulder.

After the man came out, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy again. He didn't care about the sword on the guard's chest, and waved enthusiastically: "Where are the guest officers coming from? They are staying in the hotel, please come in quickly." .”

As he spoke, he began to pull the tie bar inside the courtyard door.

Although the guard with the scar on his face let go of his guard a little bit, he still said with a straight face: "We don't live in the store, please borrow it from here."

"What, don't you stay at the store?" When the man at Pojiao heard that the other party was not staying at the store, his face suddenly turned pale, and his voice couldn't help but raise a bit: "That's not okay, if you want to pass by here, then You have to stay in this hotel for one night."

Hearing this rude request, the guard frowned and said with a sneer, "Why, do you still want to force the business?"

Before the man at Pojiao could answer, the guard put the knife on his neck and threatened, "Then you have to ask me if my knife will answer."

Now the man at Pojiao panicked and shouted, "Killer! Killer! The shopkeeper, come out quickly, someone is going to kill someone!"

This man is short, but his voice is quite loud, and he can hear clearly from far away.

As soon as he called a few times, the door of the inn was pushed open again, and a long-haired woman in a plain skirt and fur came out, followed by a strong man with a big face and a thick neck, and a A thin old man who is blind in his left eye.

The long-haired woman should be the shopkeeper of the inn. When she saw the knife on the man's neck, she frowned, but she didn't get angry. She just said with a fake smile: "What are you objectively doing?" , even if this land is remote and there is no official government, you can't bully people like this."

The burly man with a big face and a thick neck said angrily, "Put down the knife."

The guard snorted coldly, and didn't soften his heart because of the beauty of the woman in front of him. He didn't let go of the long knife in his hand, and said forcefully: "We have to use the road to cross the road. This life-or-death thing has to make us stay overnight. What's the point of doing business?"

The woman saw this, the smile on her face was thicker, and the beauty was more attractive, she stepped forward and said: "Guest officer, he is stupid, maybe he didn't make it clear that he offended you, my lord doesn't care." I'm a villain, just don't have the same level of knowledge as him, in fact, it's okay if you don't want to stay overnight, after all, this business can't be forced, let alone force you to stay, but..."

"But what?"

"But if you don't do this business, I'm afraid it won't work if you want to take advantage of it."

The guard said angrily, "How dare you play tricks on me?"

"Hey, guest officer, what are you talking about? I don't have the courage. I just want to make it clear. If you don't want to do this business, we won't force you. If you want to do it, you have to follow the rules. Of course Yes, it’s okay if you don’t want to stay overnight, but you have to keep the money for the stay.”

"Bastard, co-authoring is asking us to keep money to buy the road, but you didn't build this road!"

The guard was furious and started arguing with the innkeeper.

Seeing that the quarrel could not stop for a while, Gu Qingyue had no choice but to get out of the carriage, and Xu Zhiqiu followed.

The innkeeper noticed the two of them. She glanced at Gu Qingyue, and then at Xu Zhiqiu. When her eyes fell on Xu Zhiqiu, her eyes were fixed, and she said, "You are so handsome."

Xu Zhiqiu didn't answer.

Gu Qingyue said: "Shopkeeper, how much money do you need to borrow from here?"

The long-haired woman said: "It costs 15 taels of silver for a trip, and 15 taels of silver for a night's stay, and food and lodging are in charge. If the guest officer wants to stay overnight, then the borrowing money will be waived."

Hearing this, Gu Qingyue asked again: "Then is there hot water in the inn?"

The long-haired woman nodded: "Yes, don't look at our borders, but as long as there are things in the city, we have them here."

Gu Qingyue said: "Then let's use it here for one night."
