Chapter 525 The sound of swords never stopped
Listening to Shi Zelan’s suggestion, Shi Xiaoliu opened the carriage door and asked Xia Yu’s opinion.
Xia Yu agreed: "Okay, we should also feel the breath of fireworks in the world."
Three days later, Shi Xiaoliu and the others arrived at Wuming City.
The Nameless City was not called the Nameless City in the past, but every city lord in the past liked to change the name of the town.
There are too many names for the nameless city, so when the new dynasty was established, there were so many city names to choose from that it was difficult to choose.
Over time, people have become accustomed to calling this city the nameless city.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others entered the city and stayed at a famous inn in the city.
The inn is very large, with three floors in the front and more than ten small courtyards in the back.
When introduced by the owner, Shi Zelan said that he wanted to enjoy the scenery from a high place, so they lived directly on the third floor.
When the three of them went upstairs, the host reminded: "Three guests, it is cold at night, so it is best to close the windows and sleep."
Shi Xiaoliu turned around and nodded to the host, and just sent them to the third floor. After the waiter saw the three of them entering the room, he was the first to open the window in the room.
The waiter stood at the door of the room and said to Shi Xiaoliu and the others: "Guests, there are many mosquitoes here, so we should sleep with the windows closed at night."
He said it three times in succession. Shi Xiaoliu and the others did listen to his words, and then he walked towards the stairs.
He went downstairs, leaned in front of the counter and whispered to his boss: "My boss, at night, I still have to go up and remind the three guests to close the windows and go to sleep."
The boss sighed: "Okay, remember to go upstairs and talk to the guests tonight.
I hope there will be peace tonight."
"Master, please don't say such things, The last time you said this, there was a lot of noise that night."
"Bah, bah, bah, the good ones work, the bad ones don't work."
The waiter. After running away, the owner sat at the door of the inn and listened to what happened in the east of the city today.
Upstairs, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu stood at the door of Shi Zelan's room and asked, "It's still early, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Shi Zelan immediately nodded and said, "Okay.
Let’s go for a walk on the street and see if there’s a teahouse nearby?”
“Okay.”
The three of them went downstairs and greeted the host who was sitting at the door of the inn. , and then the three of them walked to the left casually.
When Shi Xiaoliu and the three of them were walking on the street, they felt that the atmosphere in Wuming City was very depressing, and pedestrians avoided any contact with them.
The shops on the street have half-shuttered doors. When the owner sees a customer, he does not go forward to greet him, but takes a few steps back.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others only stopped at the door of the store, looked at the things in the store, and quickly left the store.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others walked further and saw people fighting on the street, and it was the kind of fight where swords were exchanged.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others immediately understood why the shop was half-hidden and why the owner looked at the three of them defensively.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "Let's go forward."
The three of them walked along the street and saw that some shops were not open for business.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others walked several streets, they finally found a teahouse open for business on one street.
They went into the teahouse and sat for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and ordered desserts.
When Shi Xiaoliu and the others entered the teahouse, the people in the teahouse looked up at them and saw them sitting calmly in the corner.
They didn't focus on Shi Xiaoliu and the others, but talked loudly about some recent events in the city.
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, one of my brothers finally has a chance to come out. I am ready to set off to greet him."
"Go to the capital?
I listen Said that many people died in the capital."
"If you don't go to the capital, he will be detained in the border town. I will go to the border town to welcome people."
"Are you free to go out of the city?
The senior high school senior can't live without you."
"A few days ago, the senior high school senior invited an expert to come. It's just right for me to leave now." . I also want to return to my roots and live some quiet days."
Some people fell silent, and someone laughed loudly and said: "Zhang Laosan, there is no one to protect you when you leave Wuming City. You.”
"I, Zhang Laosan, have made a lot of friends over the years. I think everyone is willing to be generous and let me live."
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three listened to them talking for a while, and then the three of them stood up and left silently. .
They walked out of the teahouse and heard people in the teahouse mockingly saying: "Young people dare to come to Wuming City, and we are not afraid of being destined to come or not to return."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" .
As long as they are not troublesome, no one is willing to take the initiative to cause trouble. ”
Shi Xiaoliu whispered: "This city is really chaotic. It seems that the government has no role here."
Shi Zelan said softly: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Ordinary people in this city who can walk , They probably all escaped."
Xia Yu looked around and said, "Let's take a look at the situation and leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay. >We’ll leave the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
In the evening, Shi Xiaoliu and three other people entered the inn. When the host saw the three of them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have you, the three guests, had any meals outside?"
Shi Xiaoliu nodded and turned around. Ask the host: "Master, will the inn serve breakfast tomorrow?"
"Yes.
There are steamed buns, rice porridge and pickles."
"We want three portions of rice porridge. and pickles.”
Shi Xiaoliu ordered breakfast smoothly, and Shi Zelan and Xia Yu had already gone upstairs.
The host looked outside, approached Shi Xiaoliu and whispered: "Guest, be sure to close the doors and windows at night."
Shi Xiaoliu nodded with a smile and said: " Boss, if we close the doors and windows, everything will be fine?”
The boss smiled bitterly: “As long as you don’t provoke enemies outside, you’ll be fine.”
In the evening, the inn was busy. When I got up, there was a lot of noise in the lobby downstairs: "Master, do you have any wine?"
"Uncle, my inn does not provide sprinkler water."
"Master, you only have tea to drink here.
Drink one cup after another, so you don't have to sleep tonight. Do you want us to give it to you? Do you want to stay awake? "
"I don't dare to bother you, sir.
It's getting late, do you still want to go out of the inn? "
"I'm not going out anymore, please close it."
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three stood on the corridor and naturally heard the movement downstairs.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "I have a feeling that the storm is about to come."
Shi Zelan whispered: "I will open the window to let some air, you guys What?”
“How can ordinary people in the world get us?”
"Make protective barriers."
As the night got darker, the inn became quiet.
Shi Zelan opened her eyes and retreated behind the window. She heard the sound of swords clashing next to the inn.
Then someone wanted to come to the inn, but someone stopped him halfway, and someone yelled at the side: "Let's go."
The sound of swords outside the inn never stopped that night. As day breaks, these sounds gradually fade away.
When Shi Xiaoliu knocked on the door, Shi Zelan opened the door and whispered to him: "Xiao Liu, this place is a little interesting."
