Chapter 589: Weird Qingzhou (for jojo)
The stall owner's expression changed with alarm. He looked at Liu Mingzhi and the others in panic, and snatched the furs from the hands of Song and Qing.
"Come on, come on, I won't do your business anymore, get out of my place!"
Liu Mingzhi grabbed the boss's wrist and said: "Boss, you don't want to bully customers in the store. I have traveled all over the country for so many years and I have never seen a boss who chases customers away!"
The boss tried to break away a few times but couldn't get away and looked at Liu Mingzhi pleadingly: "You three gentlemen, I am just a small vendor who makes a living by buying some leather goods. I don't know anything. You three, please don't make things difficult for me, a small vendor. Please Please leave, please!”
Liu Mingzhi, Song Qing and others looked at each other and felt more and more that something was wrong.
The entire Qingzhou Prefecture has a strange feeling. Even if a locust plague breaks out and the people sell their children to make a living, they are not afraid to answer this question.
Looking at the boss's pleading face, Liu Mingzhi let go of the boss's wrist: "We can stop asking you questions and just point out the location of Yunlai Inn for us, right?"
"That way, just keep walking along the street!"
"Thank you boss!"
"Brother, Xiaoqing, let's go to Yunlai Inn first and wait to see what news General Cheng's Long Wuwei has found out!"
Song Qing nodded, and the three of them led the horses towards the center of Qingzhou City.
The three of them stopped when they saw Liu Mingzhi, the sign of Yunlai Inn: "Second brother, come to the two upper rooms and prepare some special dishes."
"I'm coming!"
The originally listless waiter saw the three people in gorgeous clothes and immediately came up to him with a smile: "You three gentlemen, please, I will sign the horses to the backyard for you!"
Liu Mingzhi gave the horse's rein to the waiter: "This is a fine horse. It must be fed with the best fodder, and your money is indispensable."
"A bloody horse, what a good horse!"
The younger brother stroked Feng Xing's horse's back in surprise, showing a hint of wonder.
Liu Mingzhi and Song Qing looked at each other in surprise and looked at the waiter in surprise. It was not unusual for a sweaty BMW, but it was intriguing that the simple waiter in front of him could recognize the popular variety at a glance!
When Song Qing was about to ask, he saw his third brother shaking his head slightly. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed him into the inn.
What you see when you enter is a dozen tables and stools neatly arranged but spotless. There is no one in the entire inn, and you can hear the sound of a needle dropping in silence.
Qinglian grabbed Liu Mingzhi's wrist nervously: "Husband, why is it so quiet in this inn? It feels so scary!"
"Why, you, the Qinglian heroine who travels all over the world, are still afraid of this!"
"It's just too weird. People in deep mountains and forests won't feel scared if they know there are no one around, but Qingzhou City is still so deserted even though it knows there are people there, so it feels a little weird!"
Song Qing also nodded lightly: "My brothers and sisters are right. Even if the locust plague is serious, the city should be full of victims. Look at what we saw after entering the city. The streets are full of small vendors. There are no customers, and eight out of ten shops on the street are closed. This does not seem like a disaster, but like there is a shortage of people in the city. Qingzhou Prefecture should not be so desolate, there are at least 200,000 people!"
Liu Mingzhi consciously put down a stool, sat down and wiped the spotless table: "In such a big restaurant, there is not even a shopkeeper. Aren't you curious? The people in the city seem to have disappeared out of thin air, everywhere What a strange place!”
Only then did Song and Qing realize that no one came out to greet the three of them after a long time since they came in, not even one person bringing them tea!
"Third brother, did you think of something?"
Song Qing put the baggage on his back on the table and looked a little unhappy.
"Brother, you said that a Qingzhou Prefecture with 200,000 people is not allowed to flee to other prefectures privately when the locust plague breaks out, but no one comes out. What's the reason?"
Song Qing thought for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi in shock: "Have the people been gathered somewhere?"
"That's right! The locust plague broke out and the people were gathered together. This is the most reasonable explanation. The best I can think of is that the Qingzhou governor and the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture gathered together to give porridge and provide disaster relief!"
"What's the bad outcome?"
"Don't jump to conclusions. Let's go find out after we settle down!"
"That's all it can do now!"
"You three gentlemen, I have been waiting for a long time. I wonder what you want to eat and drink?"
"Second brother, where is your shopkeeper?"
"I am the shopkeeper and also the second brother. How can I afford to hire a second brother in this situation?"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes: "I'm so stupid. I didn't expect that my eldest brother is the shopkeeper of this inn. I dare to ask the shopkeeper why the city seems to be bustling with people but also a little desolate?"
The owner of the Yunlai Inn sighed sadly: "You three young masters, I would welcome you to stay at the hotel. If you want to ask about anything else, forget it!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed: "That's fine. Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to say more, I can't force you. I'd like to trouble you to prepare some food for us three brothers to fill our bellies!"
"Please three young gentlemen, please wait a moment!"
In less than half an hour, the shopkeeper brought five or six noodles and a few plates of pickles and put them on the table: "Young gentlemen, please use them!"
"that's it?"
Song Qing looked at the thick flour pancakes and pickles on the table in astonishment, a little confused.
Liu Mingzhi patted Song Qing's arm: "Brother, you have forgotten where this place is. It would be nice to have some food. Don't ask for so much!"
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. This is already the best meal in the inn!"
"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, is the locust plague in Qingzhou Prefecture quite serious?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then sighed hesitantly: "Young masters, please eat quickly and leave Qingzhou City as soon as possible. There will be no good in staying here!"
"Shopkeeper, could you please go and prepare some tea for us!"
"Okay, just wait!"
After the shopkeeper left, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Lian'er, check it out!"
"It's your husband!"
Qinglian raised her sleeves, and the more colorful little dragons emerged from the sleeves, circled around the food on the table, raised their necks, spat out snake letters at Qinglian, and started shaking.
"Husband, there is no poison, everything is normal!"
"Brother, let's eat. After eating, we can go investigate. It seems that things in Qingzhou Mansion have exceeded our expectations."
"good!"
Song Qing replied with a low interest.
The three of them, who were full and full, walked towards the guest room arranged on the second floor. Liu Mingzhi paused and looked at the coarse linen clothes on the counter: "Shopkeeper, can you borrow some coarse clothes? If not, we can give you money!"
The shopkeeper is also a very generous person: "Young master, if you don't mind, just pick it yourself. I have to go to the back to prepare the fodder. If you need anything, just call me. If you don't take good care of the place, please take care of it!"
"Thank you very much!"
In the room, Qinglian frowned and changed Liu Mingzhi into coarse cloth clothes that smelled of sweat: "Husband, why do you have to wear such clothes? Don't you think the smell is too smelly?"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "How can you integrate into Qingzhou if you don't do this? You have to be careful when you are alone in the inn. Don't open the door if you don't hear what I say, you know?"
Although he knew that Qinglian was a fifth-level master and was good at using strange poisons, Liu Mingzhi was still a little worried!
"I know husband, don't worry, Lian'er will take good care of herself!"
My wife is the best in the world
