Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 55, Tongguan

The inn is under the jurisdiction of the army, and the merchants don't want to stay.The two waves of merchants had already set off on their way, and the Liu family was busy comforting their families and preparing to leave.

He Yuan looked back at the couple who were the innkeeper.They thought they were about to leave when they saw outsiders, so they lost their scruples, and while shopkeeper Jin was packing up his things, he was scolding these horse thieves.Most of his cursing words are in local dialect, but occasionally there are one or two words that are strangely pronounced and unintelligible.

When He Yuan saw that the gold treasurer executed the horse thief, he already had a guess in his heart.He specially called an older guard and asked if he could understand what shopkeeper Jin was saying.The guard listened carefully: "I can't hear it clearly, but it's definitely not our Chinese language, but rather the language spoken by the Mongol Tartars."

He Yuan nodded: "Thank you very much."

Watching Boss Jin and the proprietress lead their men away gradually.He Yuan cursed inwardly: "Why is this different from the one in the movie?"

The Liu family managed to salvage some carriage finances with great difficulty.Although they lost a lot, at least with the horses of the horse thieves as a supplement, they were finally able to travel as soon as possible.Everyone in the Liu family got into the carriage one after another, and the convoy started driving.

At this time, the carriage was not enough, many family members made do with it, and He Yuan was supposed to be given a horse, but he couldn't ride it.He Yuan cheekily sat in his original position.

On the way, Liu Shaopei asked the housekeeper to quietly gather He Yuan and Kuchen together.

When everyone arrived, Liu Shaopei said to the two of them: "The Poma thief who came tonight was sent by my enemy. But I'm still not sure who did it. It may come later The chasing soldiers may also be people from Jingzhao Mansion."

He Yuan didn't speak.Instead, Ku Chen asked, "Benefactor Liu, what do you need us to do for you?"

Liu Shaopei said: "If it's the pursuers who come tonight, it's probably over here. The front is already the boundary of Jingzhaofu Road. If it's the people from Jingzhaofu, we have to be careful. Today the opponent Judging from the chosen starting position, it is very likely to be someone from the Jingzhao Mansion. As long as we enter the Jingzhao Mansion, if we have any problems, the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion will also be implicated. Of course, we must be careful Insidious means."

Liu Shaopei and the two have discussed and decided to ask the steward to help with the assignment, assigning Kuchen master and apprentice to various places in the convoy, and strictly guarding them.This way, just dozed off and yawned day after day.

It was not until we entered the boundary of Jingzhaofu Road that we took a break in the post house.

Walking on the road the next day, He Yuan deliberately found a person in the guard who was good at riding, and asked him to teach him how to ride a horse.At the beginning, due to unfamiliarity with horses, He Yuan dared not relax his legs, and kept clamping them tightly, and did not dare to use too much force, for fear of damaging the horse.This made the horse nervous, as long as He Yuan rode on it, the horse would be extremely disobedient, it would not move when asked to walk, and would run when asked to walk slowly.

After a long time like this, He Yuan's legs felt uncomfortable.After a day of walking, my legs were a little numb and I had to relax.In this way, on the contrary, he slowly mastered the skill of riding a horse.Riding a horse and galloping is not enough, but sitting on a horse and letting the horse walk normally is no longer a problem.

The group of them entered Jingzhaofu Road and heard the different accents of the local people. The situation of Hu and Han living together is gradually changing some customs.

The defenders at Tongguan saw a horse team approaching from a distance.The leader of the officers and soldiers was rich in experience, so he recognized at a glance that the owner of this convoy was probably not an ordinary person.In addition to carriages and goods vehicles, there were a large number of guards and servants, and even a few monks.It is impossible for ordinary merchants and wealthy households to have this pomp.

When passing through the city gate, the officers and soldiers checked the passers-by, and the convoy stopped under the city.The leader of the officers and soldiers found that there was a tutuo with hair in this convoy, carefully looking at all kinds of things up and down Tongguan.The leader was displeased, if he hadn't seen him as the official lord's entourage, he would have taken it as a spy long ago.

This team is exactly the group of the Liu family.At this time, He Yuan was able to ride steadily on the horse.

When passing through Tongguan, He Yuan also took a closer look at the historically famous pass.At this time, Tongguan has been broken. According to people who know it, Tongguan has also been destroyed many times, and it is very different from Tongguan in the poems.

On the wall above the city gate, there are two small seal characters.This reminded He Yuan of a joke he had heard before.It is said that in the past, some singers of local operas were illiterate. When they sang to Tongguan, they often sang wrongly, and the following effects occurred.

After the sound of gongs and drums, the actor stepped onto the stage, chanted or sang - beat the horse to Tongguan, looked up, and wrote three large characters - Tongguan.

A group of people walked along Xiaohan Road and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion.

Inside a mansion in Jingzhao Mansion.The singing and dancing are in full swing, and the banquet is in full swing.The Jurchens themselves had few rhythms, and after settling in the Central Plains, the nobles gradually liked the songs and dances of the Western Regions.Therefore, the most popular at this time is that eight of the ten families in the band are well versed in singing and dancing in the Western Regions.

The musicians in the lobby played a huqu.More than a dozen bearded women from the Western Regions danced cheerfully with the cooperation of musicians.

On the main seat was a fat Hu official, dressed in casual clothes, who was already slightly drunk.At this time, a servant came in quietly and whispered a few words in the butler's ear.After hearing this, the steward sent his servants out.Then he leaned over to his master and whispered a few words mysteriously.The fat official said to the wives who were watching the music and dance with him: "Ladies wait a moment, I'll take care of some things."

After leaving the lobby and entering the study, the housekeeper followed him in.In the study room, there were already people waiting, and when they saw the fat official, they immediately saluted: "I have met Mr. Nan."

"Hutong, how are things going?" Nan University casually asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"

The man kneeling on the ground said cautiously: "My lord, Zhang Wu, that bastard, messed things up."

Master Nan said: "Be clear and explain it in detail."

Kneeling on the ground in the alley, he told the story of the Dragon Inn.

"Then what are you doing back here?" Master Nan didn't seem to care at all that things didn't get done.

"I beg you to give me another chance." Hutong knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Hmph! If it wasn't for your niece working in my house, you wouldn't even have a chance. Get out!" Mr. Nan finally couldn't suppress his anger.

The alley seemed to have received an amnesty, and even crawled and ran out.

Mr. Nan was full of hatred, walked up and down in the study, raised his fist and slammed on the desk, shaking the things on the desk. "Liu Shaopei, this old fox, is really a disaster and has lived for thousands of years."

"My lord, let's send another manpower to do it again." The housekeeper observed the situation and helped to come up with an idea.

"Do it again? Put the shit bowl on my head? This kind of thing can only be done on other people's land, so how can you do it in front of your own house." Master Nan shook his head.
