Li Jinglong hesitated and said, "Weichen also studied in the Guanya Bureau. Can he be considered a member of the Guanya Bureau?"
Zhu Bai thought for a while and said, "That's right."
Haha, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you rush in.
Li Jinglong was secretly ecstatic.
Zhu Bai said: "Then you can stay here tonight. The station has not prepared any food for you at noon. Please feel sorry for yourself and eat there."
Li Jinglong hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness."
This day is another three hundred miles.
Li Jinglong listened to the soldiers today and half-squatted on the stirrup to feel comfortable without grinding his buttocks.
But I was still very tired and felt that my legs were no longer my own.
Finally we stopped to rest in the evening.
Li Jinglong and his men were about to follow Zhu Bai into the inn.
But when he went in, the soldiers were blocked behind him.
This action is so familiar.
It made him feel angry for no reason.
Li Jinglong lowered his face and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard at the inn said: "His Royal Highness said that only you are from the Guanya Bureau, so only you can go in. Others must live next door."
"Little King of Hell" is really not that easy to talk to! !
It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. At any rate, I will live in it first and then slowly think of a solution.
Li Jinglong gritted his teeth secretly and said to the soldiers behind him: "Okay, give me the things you need tonight, and you can go over there."
The heavy door of the inn closed behind him with a bang.
Li Jinglong, who was holding his luggage, was trembling with fright, and suddenly realized that his situation now was almost exactly the same as that day in the Guanya Bureau.
A sheep enters a wolf's den and is left alone and helpless.
The difference is that if Zhu Bai wants to manipulate him here, it will be easier than when he was at the Guanya General Administration.
In the wilderness, kill him and bury him in the wilderness, without anyone noticing.
He was so nervous that his lips were numb, and he was neither advancing nor retreating.
After Zhu Bai sat down, he caught a glimpse of Li Jinglong's expression and secretly laughed: Haha, are you scared now? late!
How could I let you hold me back and spy on my business secrets?
Now that you're in, just wait for me to give you a "lesson"! !
Li Jinglong and Zhang Yu were sitting at the same table.
Zhu Bai has one table per person.
Then the pro-military captain and Zhu Bai's guards sat together.
Although the food was richer than that at the inn, no one dared to speak if Zhu Bai didn't make a sound during the meal.
Li Jinglong was extremely depressed and had no appetite.
If I had known this, I might as well have eaten whatever I wanted next door.
After dinner, Zhu Bai called the stationmaster to the room, closed the door and talked.
There are two guards at the door.
Li Jinglong was placed in a room far away from Zhu Baiju.
He didn't dare to get close at all, so he didn't hear anything.
He comforted himself to take his time and not to rush, and then discovered that the real problem was not here.
There are servants to serve him on weekdays, and after he comes out, there are also personal soldiers to serve him.
But now, everything has to be done by yourself.
Making the bed was okay, but washing up was troublesome. I didn’t know who to call if I wanted to get some hot water.
Finally, he ran to the well behind to get some water and took a hasty wash.
Although spring has begun, it's still freezing cold heading north.
He was so cold that he cursed.
In the middle of the night, I fell asleep in a daze, felt thirsty, and called out: "Tea."
But no one responded, and then he remembered that he was alone here.
Moreover, I had to urinate urgently, and there wasn’t even a chamber pot in the room.
He simply got up and went to the back.
First he got some water from the well, then ran to the corner to relieve himself against the wall.
As soon as I took off my pants and started whistling with my eyes closed, I felt a chill on my neck.
This is the feeling of cold weapons against flesh.
The whistle stopped suddenly, and he shuddered and opened his eyes.
Sure enough, there was an extra knife on his neck.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers holding knives and holding bows and arrows, staring at him coldly.
"What a bold thief! He dared to come into the Guanya Bureau Inn." The leader said grimly.
It turned out to be a guard patrolling the night...
Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief and showed his official authority: "Be bold. A bunch of blind people, I am Mr. Li."
The leader said: "Master Li, I haven't heard of it. Follow me to see the stationmaster."
-------
The stationmaster was called up and said he had caught a spy. When he saw it was Li Jinglong, he was shocked: "Oh, Mr. Li, why is it you? I'm so sorry. The people patrolling at night and guarding the gate during the day are not the same people, so I don't recognize Mr. Li. . And Mr. Li doesn’t know something. Except for the guards, no one else is allowed to hang out in the inn at night."
Although Li Jinglong was angry, he didn't dare to get angry when he heard that it was the rule of the Guanya Bureau.
The stationmaster said to the guards: "You can continue patrolling. Mr. Li, please go back to sleep. Don't come out again at night. Fortunately, they asked today, and they usually just shoot arrows."
I originally planned to run down to pee and come back, so I didn't wear all my clothes. It would make my upper teeth knock on my lower teeth due to the cold. But when I heard what the stationmaster said, I became more frightened and trembled even more.
I don’t know whether it was because he drank raw water or was frozen, but Li Jinglong started to have diarrhea and fever in the morning.
Zhu Bai said: "Don't worry, I have already called the doctor. You can recover well here and catch up when you are well."
Haha, you are so sick at the right time. I don’t have to think of other ways to get rid of you.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for me to say a lot of things and do a lot of things when you are by my side.
Li Jinglong was leaning on the bed. He couldn't even stand up to salute: "Thank you, Your Highness."
In order to facilitate the personal care, Li Jinglong returned to the inn.
Zhu Bai asked someone to send a letter back to Lao Zhu and others about this matter.
After all, when he goes out, he must first put aside his responsibilities. If something happens to Li Jinglong after he leaves, no one can blame him.
Then he took the people and left without looking back.
Li Jinglong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lao Zhu and the others received the letter but said nothing.
Li Jinglong is seeking his own death, so he can't ask Mr. Zhu Bai to wait for him and delay official business.
Zhu Bai also called the doctor for Li Jinglong, which was an act of kindness and justice.
Li Wenzhong was extremely anxious when he received the letter, thinking that Zhu Bai was trying to kill Li Jinglong. It was not easy for him to bring Li Jinglong back, so he could only quietly send someone to send a doctor over for Li Jinglong's follow-up examination.
The doctor was bumpy along the way, and his old bones were almost falling apart. Finally, he took a pulse and found that Li Jinglong was just suffering from a common cold. He cursed in his heart, prescribed medicine, and came back again.
The doctor came back and said that Li Jinglong might be acclimatized.
Li Wenzhong thought it was normal, so he felt relieved.
Here Li Jinglong stayed at the Guanya Inn for six or seven days before he was all right.
Zhu Bai over there has arrived at Gongchang Guards Station.
He had already asked someone to mix tea and some grain and cloth, and transported them to Gongchang Guardhouse in advance to wait.
When I passed by now, I just zipped up my stuff.
He left half a cart of grain and half a cart of tea for Gongchang Guards, and made a verbal agreement with him. In the future, if goods from the Guanya Bureau passed by, he would give him a cart of grain as long as he helped guard the goods for one hundred miles in front and back.
