The three of them drove all the way, and it was gradually getting dark, almost midnight. At this time, one or two villages could occasionally be seen on both sides of the road to the north of Jinyu, but there were ruins everywhere and no lights. I couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't figure out why every village was in ruins.
Jin Yubei couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that the Jianzhou people came here to plunder, causing all these villages to suffer the disaster of war? However, seeing that the Great Khan of Jianzhou and the generals were all concentrating on dealing with Ulabu Buzantai, it was nothing like what they were doing.
At the end of the hour, the three of them arrived at a three-way intersection. In the snowy light, I saw a stone tablet standing beside the intersection. Jin Yubei reined in his horse and stepped forward to read the writing on the stone tablet carefully. When he saw the words "Hailong Town", he couldn't help but feel relieved. He turned around and said, "Junior sister, Hailong Town is just ahead! Let's rush there to rest." I heard Su'er say in the car: "Okay!"
Jin Yubei jumped on the shaft of the carriage and urged the horse forward quickly. After walking for nearly half an hour, he saw the town of Nuoda appearing in front of him.
Jin Yubei kept urging his horse and came into the town, eager to find an inn. But I found three inns in a row, and they were all full. Jin Yubei couldn't help but be surprised. He saw that every village along the road was deserted. How could the inn business in this town be so good?
The shopkeeper of the third inn told me that it was not far from the original place. Kaiyuan is a famous horse market in Liaodong. Most of the people who live in Hailong Inn are tourists, horse dealers, jewelry merchants who come to Kaiyuan to trade in the market, as well as those from the Jurchen Department who are responsible for purchasing and shipping. cavalry.
The shopkeeper raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Sir, five hundred steps south from here, there is a 'Jinmei Inn'. Because of its high price, ordinary merchants are reluctant to stay there. Maybe there are some guest rooms available. ."
Jin Yubei thanked the shopkeeper and immediately drove his horse south, walking about five hundred steps, but there was no real "Jinmei Inn". Seeing that the inn has red lights hanging high, brocade decorations are spread out, and the door lintel is tall, it is indeed elegant. No wonder the shopkeeper said that the housing prices here are high.
Jin Yubei entered the inn. The shopkeeper heard someone and said without raising his head: "We can't stay here anymore. We can't stay here anymore. There are no guest rooms."
Jinyu Peking University was surprised and asked: "Shopkeeper, are there really so many people living in such high-class guest rooms? Harmony and wealth, please make it easier for me. I have a family, so I can't bear the cold. Even if I can only accommodate them, I might as well spend the night in the carriage."
The shopkeeper looked up at Jin Yubei, who was kind to him. But the shopkeeper saw that Jin Yubei was not dressed like a high-ranking official, so he said: "Sir, I do have guest rooms here, but except for the few rooms that were occupied by guests first, the rest have been booked by others. Those who paid the deposit , I won’t agree to live with you randomly.”
When Jin Yubei heard that many of the guest rooms were empty, he immediately reached into his arms and took out a gold leaf.
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up, and he could not look away from the gold leaf in his hand. While saying: "You said it's already midnight, and the person who booked the room hasn't come yet."
Jin Yubei said: "Shopkeeper, please think more about it. You have saved enough money for the rent in Jinye, and you can keep the rest to buy wine." The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "I see you have a family. "It's freezing cold today. It's freezing to death. How many guest rooms do you want? I'll reluctantly do it as a good deed." Jin Yubei said: "Two rooms."
The shopkeeper reached out and grabbed the golden leaf. He said: "Come with me. Sir, the ones I have chosen for you are all first-class ones." He turned around and shouted to the confused waiter in the corner: "Young man, you are still sleeping! Hurry and pull up for your guest!" Enter the horse and feed it in the trough. First make hot water and send it up. Then go to the kitchen and send the food and wine to the guest room."
Jin Yu went out to the north and led Su'er and Yi'er in. When the shopkeeper saw two fairies-like women coming in, his eyes almost fell out of his head with shock, and he quickly led the three of them upstairs. As he went up the stairs, he said, "Sir, I'm looking for the upper room at the top of the building. If a large number of guests come, you must not go out to do anything good. You have to have a good rest." Jin Yubei nodded in agreement.
Su'er and Yi'er lived in the room at the east end of the building, and Jin Yu lived in the second room next to it in the north. After dinner and washing up, it's almost the third watch. The three of them went to have a rest and prepare to get up early and start their journey.
Jinyu turned off the lights in the north, sat on the couch, collected his breath and chanted, and performed the Taixuan Zhengong.
In Nuo Da Ge Inn, only the guest room downstairs in the middle was still lit. Most of the other guest rooms were empty of guests, so it was unusually quiet.
Jin Yubei heard that the midnight drum had been beaten, and he listened attentively to the surrounding movements, and wanted to concentrate on practicing his skills. Suddenly, he heard people jumping into the inn from behind the building, and heard the sound of those people jumping to the ground. , knowing that each of them is not a simple role. There should be more than twenty people listening to the sound. Then I heard that more than ten people climbed to the top of the building and climbed up to the top ridge by stepping on the tiles.
Jin Yubei put on his boots, opened the door slightly, stepped out, closed the door with a slight movement of his left hand, and quietly hid in the shadow behind the pillars in front of Su'er's door.
Behind the pillar in Beijing, Jin Yu reached into his arms and took out a piece of gold leaf. He paused with both hands and tore off a small piece. With a twist of his right hand, he twisted a small piece of gold leaf into an inch-long thin gold thread.
Jin Yubei picked up the golden thread and flicked it with his right index finger. The golden thread slowly passed through the window paper and entered Su'er and Yi'er's room. Immediately afterwards, a tiny silver needle was seen fluttering out of the window paper hole pierced with gold thread. Jin Yubei raised his hand and pinched the silver needle. He knew that Su Er had told him that she had heard the strange movement, was on full alert, and was still safe. And she already knew he was at the door and asked him to be careful.
Jin Yubei looked up and thought: The wilderness along the road was endless, and no one was following him. What kind of sacred place is this? Could it be that the forefathers had predicted that the three of us would settle down in this "Jinmei Inn", booked the guest rooms in advance, and gathered so many good people to wait for work? Could it be Situ Kou and others again?
Jin Yubei was thinking about it when he heard the door of the inn being banged in the quiet night. An arrogant voice shouted: "Housekeeper, open the door! Are there any rooms we booked?" ?"
Jin Yubei looked towards the door of the inn and accidentally saw the light in the guest room downstairs suddenly extinguished.
Jin Yubei was immediately alert, thinking to himself that there must be someone in the guest room with the lights out in the middle that he didn't want others to know. From the moment we entered the inn, the shopkeeper had no room for him to live in. By now a large group of people had arrived, and many people from the world had arrived first. This place had already made people feel weird.
At this time, the shopkeeper and the waiter were both asleep, so the door could not be opened in time. The sound of knocking on the door was like a drum, "dong-dong-dong", which was quite alarming in the dead of night.
The arrogant voice was extremely impatient and shouted: "Why is there no one dead inside? The master has reserved a guest room, and you don't wait on it morning and night, how dare you be so negligent. You don't want to open this bird shop... …”
