Chapter 71 Longmen Inn
Li Qing’s trip to Qingzhou was not a journey day and night, but more like a trip.
We passed several cities along the way and spent more than ten days before finally approaching the border of Qingzhou.
"Master Li, Jingyang City is ahead."
The coachman's voice passed into the carriage, reminding Li Qing that he was approaching the boundary of Qingzhou.
Jingyang City is the southernmost city in Qingzhou. It cannot be said to be very prosperous, but in the barren Qingzhou, such a city is already quite wealthy.
Hearing this, Li Qing opened the curtain of the carriage and looked ahead to see a city in the distance.
The carriage drove along the official road, kicking up smoke and dust. Behind it, there was a young tiger running wildly following the carriage.
About to enter the city, in order to avoid the commotion caused in several cities before, Li Qing decided to call the rice bucket back into the carriage.
He put his finger to his mouth and blew a clear and long whistle.
"Ouch!" Hearing the whistle, the tiger cub quickly reacted and ran towards the carriage.
During the rush, the wind and sand rolled up.
Although it is still young, it already has a bit of the momentum of a tiger, which makes the horses a little restless.
It took a lot of trouble for the groom to control the restless and frightened horses. It was only when the tiger cub jumped into the carriage that things got better.
After traveling all the way for so many days, the satin-like fur on the tiger cub's body has long become dull and stained with dust.
With a hint of helplessness and disgust in Li Qing's eyes, he patted the dust off the tiger cub's body. With each pat, a large amount of dust fell off.
"Ouch!" The tiger cub roared softly.
“Be more honest with me when you enter the city this time, and don’t cause trouble like the previous cities!”
Speaking of this, Li Qing couldn’t help but think of When passing by a prosperous city a few days ago, the tiger cub smelled the aroma of donkey meat being sold on the roadside, and couldn't help but rush out.
Li Qing, who was practicing at the time, didn't even have time to react before Tiger Cub rushed out of the carriage.
The tiger came out of its cage, frightening the people on the whole street. The fire vendor was so frightened that his legs became weak and he couldn't even walk.
For this reason, Li Qing paid dozens of taels of silver to calm down the matter. Fortunately, it did not cause a bigger trouble. If he was called a tiger to hurt people, it would be terrible. It's troublesome.
“Ouch!” The tiger cub turned around and showed its belly in surrender.
Qingzhou, Jingyang City.
Although Qingzhou can be considered quite prosperous, compared with other cities in Feng Kingdom, it is still far behind.
It can be seen from the empty gates at the city gate that there are few caravans coming and going in this city.
Li Qing just gave the guard at the city gate a few pieces of silver and entered the city smoothly without even a routine inspection.
On the street, there are no vendors, only a few shops are open.
However, these shops all employ five or three rough thugs, who sit at the door like a door god.
The carriage had not gone far when the sound of fighting came from the street.
"Damn it, you stupid thing dares to steal your uncle's wallet. I have to break your fingers one by one today."
Hearing this movement, Li Qing opened the door He opened the curtain of the carriage and saw two men fighting each other in the street. One of them was holding a brick in his hand and smashed the other man's head so hard that blood flowed.
This scene left Li Qing speechless. He had only entered the city not long ago, and the guards at the city gate were right in front of him. How could something like this happen?
Be brave and fight fiercely, and the folk customs are strong!
This is Li Qing’s first impression of Qingzhou.
Fortunately, even in Qingzhou, where martial arts is a common practice, nothing happened where the internal energy was so strong that the external energy was not as good as that of a dog. At least with his level of martial arts cultivation, it would not be difficult for him to protect himself in this area.
“Keep walking, find an inn in the city to stay first, and leave in time.” Li Qing said calmly in the carriage.
After all, it was Sheng Tianlai's carriage, and its appearance exuded an aura of wealth. As soon as they entered the city, many eyes were secretly looking at the carriage Li Qing was riding in.
Even the groom who was driving the horse felt quite nervous and a little embarrassed.
After driving all the way and entering the center of the city, I finally saw some popularity. Shops were open on the streets to attract customers, and vendors and goons were doing business.
The carriage stopped beside an imposing building on the street.
Longmen Inn!
Li Qing opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage. After seeing the name of the inn, Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Let's go and see what's so special about the Longmen Inn here. ”
After saying that, the tiger cub also rushed out of the carriage.
The colorful fur and the pattern of a king on the forehead all tell that this is indeed a tiger!
The moment the rice bucket came out, all the eyes that had been looking at Li Qing's carriage were turned away.
At the same time, there were a few sounds of air conditioning, which all dispelled some evil thoughts in my heart.
Although the visitor is either rich or noble, one can tell at a glance that he is not easy to mess with.
Being able to raise a tiger cub by your side is definitely a strong man, and can be regarded as a dragon crossing the river.
After walking into the Dragon Gate Inn with the tiger cub, Li Qing could clearly feel the scrutinizing eyes sweeping over him and Fantong.
"Ouch!" Fantong raised his head and roared, seeming to feel the gaze falling on him.
"Sir, would you rather stay in the hotel?" The waiter came up with a smile on his face, but he didn't show much fear. He was obviously a well-informed person.
“I want two good guest rooms!”
As he said that, Li Qing took two grains of silver and threw them to the waiter.
After receiving the money, the waiter's smile became brighter and he led Li Qing upstairs.
"My guest, you are not from Qingzhou, are you?"
Li Qing raised an eyebrow: "How do you say that?"
The waiter replied truthfully: "Hey, this The Heisha Gang and the Lei family in Jingyang City have been fighting for a few days. The incident has spread throughout Qingzhou, and no one is willing to enter the city at this juncture."
"But don't worry, since it's the case. It is absolutely safe to stay at our Longmen Inn. Both the Lei family and the Heisha Gang have to give our inn a face.”
Is an inn so prestigious?
Li Qing nodded and said: "It sounds interesting, tell me why there was a fight?"
"I heard that it seemed that someone from the Black Evil Gang had robbed him. A very important treasure was brought by the Lei family. I don’t know exactly what it is, and then they started fighting.”
In this regard, Li Qing could only say that it deserves to be Qingzhou, and it will be available as soon as he enters the city. See this kind of show.
"Okay, sir, these are the two guest rooms. If you need anything, just let me know."
"By the way, if you don't have anything important to do at night, it's best not to go out, so as not to be affected!"
After saying this last sentence, the waiter went downstairs conveniently.
