This escort was led by Wang Rengui, who rode a black horse. The proud man took the lead and walked in front, while the other five followed on foot. One of the brothers pushed the box in a cart.
Because the journey is so long, we have to pass through other towns. Before setting off, Chief Shen specifically told us to take the official road and not the side roads. Although there are sometimes robbers on the official road, they are much less than those on the trail.
The weather in early spring is relatively cool, so there is no need to wear thick cotton clothes. All Fei Fei carried with him was a simple package and the Phantom Spirit Sword, and of course Mu Feng was the same.
Although they are all in the same escort agency, the two Feifan brothers and the three senior brothers are not very familiar with each other because they do not meet often. But after these few days of contact, the five people have a certain understanding between them.
Along the way, the two of them were chatting and laughing with the three senior brothers, as if they were not escorting escorts, a bit like they were traveling. Maybe it's because there weren't many passers-by on the official road just after winter, or maybe it's because it's been several days since we set out and we haven't encountered a single robber. In short, the vigilance of the five of them was almost gone. Wang Rengui seemed to be riding in front without saying anything. In fact, his mind was already focused on the conversation between the five people behind.
"Three senior brothers, is this the first time for you to travel such a distance?" Feifan asked.
A senior brother named Fan said: "Well! The three of us used to be close escorts just like you. Six months ago, the master was half a martial arts school and half an escort bureau. In fact, we were only a few years ahead of you. Yue came to the escort agency."
"Oh... Isn't it a bit abnormal that there have been no robbers in the past few days?" Mu Feng said with excitement as he held the Zigeng Sword in his hand.
"This... I'm not sure. Of course it's best if there are no robbers!" Another senior brother named Huang said.
"Nonsense, this is an official way. How can there be so many robbers!" Wang Rengui really couldn't bear to listen. He turned around and said to them: "Juniors, hurry up and hurry up. We estimate that we can reach Woniu Town before sunset. We can have a good meal and sleep well when we get there."
As soon as they heard that there was a town ahead, everyone cheered up and walked forward faster. There were no towns along the way these past few days. Everyone was eating in the wind and dew at night, not having enough to eat and not sleeping well.
Woniu Town is named after a mountain ten miles south of the town. That mountain was called Woniu Mountain. It was named because the mountain looked like a cow lying on the ground. The town next to the mountain also had that name.
In the evening, Chen Feifan and the other six had arrived at Woniu Town. Although Woniu Town was not as big as Sifang Town, it was still a town and there were still things that should be there.
Wang Rengui was also unambiguous and took the other five people to an inn called Fuyuan.
As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a waiter who looked like a waiter. He smiled at them and said, "Six guests, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?"
"We need food and accommodation. Prepare two good guest rooms for us and bring the food to the room later." Wang Rengui said.
The waiter looked at the six people in front of him and asked hesitantly, "Well... Sir, there are six of you. Isn't it a bit too big for three of you to live in one room?"
Wang Rengui interrupted him impatiently and said: "Why are there so many nonsense? I said two rooms, just two rooms. I will add a small bed to each room later. Money is not an issue. Just do as I say. "
"Well...I can't be in charge, guest sir. Please wait a moment, I'll go find the shopkeeper." After saying that, he ran towards the back door of the counter.
"Huh, errand runners are just errand runners." Wang Rengui said coldly, looking at the waiter's back.
Both Fei Fei and Mu Feng knew that Wang Rengui was snobbish, but they still admired the decision to divide the rooms. In case of a sneak attack at night, three people are better than two, and no one would expect that there are three people in a room.
After a while, the waiter came out with the shopkeeper here. Then the shopkeeper told me a lot of nonsense, all he said was that he wanted to add some silver coins. Wang Rengui quickly threw money at the shopkeeper, and then stopped him from talking. The shopkeeper was cheerful and personally led the Extraordinary Six to the two guest rooms upstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the two guest rooms, Wang Rengui suddenly turned around and put a sword on the shopkeeper's neck with one hand, took out a silver coin from his arms with the other hand, and whispered: "You didn't see anything just now, did you?"
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, glanced at the treasure box again, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, my eyesight is bad now that I'm old, so I didn't see anything."
"Well, very good, he is a smart man. I will place my horse and the cart in your backyard later. This ingot of silver is for you. Go down."
The shopkeeper took the ingot of silver, thanked him, turned around and ran downstairs quickly.
After dismissing the shopkeeper, Wang Rengui put away the sword in his hand and said to the five junior brothers: "From now on, I will allocate rooms. I, Mu Feng and Junior Brother Chen will have a room, and you three will have another room. As for the treasure chest I will keep it, do you have any other opinions?"
"No!" The five people said in unison, who told you to take the lead this time, and it's the third senior brother, who would have any objections!
As soon as they entered the room, there was a commotion among the diners downstairs.
I saw a beautiful woman wearing lavender clothes walking in. With a pair of breathtaking eyes, a small and slightly raised nose, a thin cherry mouth, a curvy figure, and crystal clear skin, she is simply like a fairy descending from the earth, no, more beautiful than a fairy.
"Waiter, waiter, waiter," the woman called three times in a row, and the waiter came to his senses.
"This guest, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" the waiter asked softly.
"Give me a quiet room, find the best fodder for my horse, and put it in the best stable." The woman said coldly.
The waiter took a few pieces of silver from the woman and hurriedly led the woman's horse to the stable in the backyard. On the way, he smelled the hand that had just taken the silver, and there was still a lingering fragrance.
This time, the shopkeeper smiled and took the woman upstairs. This time it was not for money, but because he wanted to see more beautiful women.
There was no talking all night, and at most that night, rumors about the beauty of that woman spread around the inn.
Early the next morning, Wang Rengui brought Fei Fei and Mu Feng downstairs for breakfast. The other three people had secretly moved the treasure box to the trolley in the backyard because they didn't want to alarm others.
"Sir, you missed an opportunity to feast your eyes on everything last night!" The waiter said with a smile to Fei Fei and the others while holding the breakfast.
"A feast for the eyes?" Feifan asked.
"Well. After you went upstairs yesterday, a stunning beauty who also lives in the hotel came here. She is the most beautiful one I have ever seen, and she is also generous." The waiter said.
"Beauty? What does she look like? Tell us." Wang Rengui asked with great interest.
The waiter saw that they had whetted their appetites, so he slowly described the woman's appearance, and also told the diners' reactions when they saw the beauty. Of course, he couldn't describe his own embarrassment.
"Then, can we still see this beauty in purple today?" Wang Rengui asked drooling.
"No, she left before dawn this morning heading south," the waiter said.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. We will set off soon." After saying this, Wang Rengui bit off most of the bun.
They were also heading south. Wang Rengui was still dreaming about meeting that beautiful woman, so of course he had to leave as soon as possible.
After having breakfast and packing their luggage, the six of them started a new day's journey.
