After noon the next day, Li Yukun and his group arrived outside a town. Li Hanrui came to Li Yukun and said, "Father, we have arrived in Lanzhou. Do we need to inform the government officials to prepare a place for us to stay?"
Li Yukun waved his hand, "Forget it, we are not returning in triumph, let alone returning to Beijing with an order to order everyone to change into casual clothes. We will turn into civilians and rent an inn when the time comes. Have a good rest today and tomorrow Keep on going!”
"Yes!" Li Hanrui turned to look at Liu Bo. Liu Bo naturally understood what Li Hanrui meant and hurriedly ordered everyone to change into casual clothes.
Zhao Xuanyi didn't need to worry about it. He was wearing casual clothes. After everyone tidied up, they began to enter the city one after another. After entering the city, Zhao Xuanyi opened the curtain and looked at the street. He saw that Lanzhou City was still very prosperous! There are many people on the street and they are all busy!
Those who buy and sell, those who carry backpacks on their shoulders cannot be called a bustling crowd, but the country is peaceful and the people are safe. I can’t say how noble the people’s lives are, but at least they can get by!
A team of more than a hundred people entered the city and attracted a lot of attention on the streets, but they were not wearing military uniforms, so the people just thought they were passing by a wealthy family or merchants and didn't pay attention!
After Li Hanrui entered the city, he hurried to an inn called Yuelai Inn. After discussing with the boss, he booked the entire inn. Everyone entered the inn, and all the horses and soldiers were placed in the backyard. People are in the front yard!
Liu Bo asked the waiter to prepare the meal. Li Yukun, Zhao Xuanyi and others all sat around the table. Entering the city was naturally much better than bordering. There were many dishes on the table, including a stewed fish, a whole elbow, mutton, cabbage and radish. Wait, a total of eight dishes and one soup are served.
Li Yukun looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "My dear nephew, are you trying to eat something outside? You can eat whatever you want today, you're welcome!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly, "Uncle Li, you're welcome. Working outside is not as good as at home. Just eat enough!"
After hearing this, Li Yukun was very satisfied and raised his glass, "Come on, let's satisfy our craving today!"
Zhao Xuanyi raised his glass and said, "Uncle Li, please!"
There were only four people sitting at the dining table, Li Yukun, Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan's family. The only one left was Zhao Xuanyi. Liu Bo and Shen Wei sat at another table with several other soldiers, while Ziyuan, Qinglian and Li Zhisan were sitting at the table. People were waiting for Li Yukun to eat!
Zi Yuan poured a glass of wine for Zhao Xuanyi, and then gave Zhao Xuanyi a charming smile. Zhao Xuanyi was shocked when he saw Zi Yuan's smile. Could this be the girl?
Every time Zhao Xuanyi drank the wine in the glass, Zi Yuan would come over and pour the wine. He would smile once he poured the wine. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, this is too careless, this bitch is playing tricks on him!
After dinner, everyone dispersed, planning to take a good rest before continuing on the road tomorrow. Zhao Xuanyi counted while walking, twenty-three? No, twenty-four! He kept talking!
Shen Wei was very surprised: "Young Master, what are you going to say?"
"Oh, nothing! By the way, is Brother Shen familiar with this city?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
Shen Wei shook his head, "I'm not familiar with this place!"
"It's okay. It's still early and it's not dark yet. Let's go out for a walk and see what fun things there are in this city?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Shen Wei had some worry on his face: "Young Master, we are returning to Beijing privately this time. It wouldn't be good to go out and play, right?"
"What's wrong? Who knows us? If it's okay, just go out and have a look! Let's go!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he led Shen Wei and the others out of the inn!
It was evening at this time, and all the small shops were closed. Everyone was planning to go home for dinner, but another kind of nightlife had begun. There were not many people on the street, and there were some people selling things in the night market. , and some jugglers came out to perform!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei shuttled among the crowds and saw people singing and dancing on the streets. Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but sigh, "Did you see that we are fighting to the death with the enemy in the front, so that these people can go out to play happily without worrying about being killed?" Others are hurt!”
Shen Wei smiled slightly, with a clear expression on his face, "The young master is now different from what he used to be. He has responsibilities on his shoulders and a responsibility in his heart. I am sure he will be very happy when he finds out!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and thought, who cares about him? As long as I am happy, Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised when he saw the man selling candied haws on a stick, "This? Selling candied haws on a stick in the dog days of summer? Won't the sugar melt?"
Shen Wei shook his head. Of course he didn't understand this. Zhao Xuanyi came to the vendor and said, "How do you sell these candied haws?"
As soon as the hawker looked at the customer, he smiled and nodded, "Two copper coins in a string!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, reached out and took down five skewers, "Make it all together! Brother Shen, give me the money!"
Shen Wei smiled and shook his head, thinking that although the young master had changed a lot, he was still a child at heart. He took out ten copper coins and gave it to the hawker, who quickly thanked him!
Zhao Xuanyi gave Shen Wei a string of "Eat!"
Shen Wei did not answer, "Young Master, you just finished eating, can you still eat?"
"Have you eaten then? After eating a few pieces of meat and drinking some wine, you are not full at all!" After Li Yukun left, he didn't have any, and he was too embarrassed to continue sitting there and eating! So I came out for a walk!
Seeing someone performing a show, Zhao Xuanyi came forward and saw a young man in the crowd. He looked to be less than thirty years old. He wore a gray robe and held a steel knife in his hand. He was practicing his sword skills. This steel knife Thirty-five inches long, the whole body is as white as a mirror. It is constantly swung in the man's hand. Then the fire lights, and the sword light is flying, and the bigger and faster it is. Finally, the man's body is covered with sword blades, which is very beautiful and entertaining!
"Okay...!" A group of spectators kept shouting loudly!
Zhao Xuanyi picked up the candied haws and ate one, "Brother Shen, what do you think of this man's martial arts?"
When Shen Wei heard this, he had an embarrassed expression on his face, "Young Master, people like us never comment when we see people doing tricks! After all, they were taught by an ancestor, and everyone is in trouble sometimes, so?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Let's put it this way, can you beat him?"
A confident smile appeared on Shen Wei's face, "He couldn't get past my three moves!"
Zhao Xuanyi understood that Shen Wei didn't like this kind of showmanship at all, so for his own self-cultivation and to take care of the other party's thin face, he would not say anything because there was no need. "Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi walked forward after saying this. go.
Shen Wei took out a few copper coins from his pocket, threw them into the gong where the man received the money, and then followed Zhao Xuanyi and left!
On the other side, four girls were walking on an arch bridge, looking at the lights of thousands of houses and the dark streets. They seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and everything they saw was novel.
"Miss, where shall we go for a while?" Lizhi asked.
Li Hanyan smiled, "How do I know? The second brother here should be very familiar with it. I haven't been here a few times. I don't know what fun is there? It's hard to come here once, don't miss it!"
Qinglian looked around, "There seem to be some tea stalls and restaurants ahead. As for the others? There seems to be a brothel. Miss, why don't we go back? If the master finds out that we sneaked out, I'm afraid he will punish us!"
"What are you afraid of? Father has gone to rest now. Let's go back after playing for a while. However, there is really no way to compare this place with the capital. It is not as prosperous as the capital at all, and there are not as many things to play as in the capital!" Li Hanyan's face showed A little disappointed!
"Ouch... who is this? Am I right? The eldest lady actually sneaked out to play? What if the general knows about this? Hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi held the candied haws in both hands and walked slowly onto the arch bridge!
Li Hanyan and others were standing on the bridge chatting when an inappropriate voice came. Several girls turned their heads and saw Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei walking over. When the four girls saw Zhao Xuanyi, they all showed hostility. It seemed that none of them were hostile. I like Zhao Xuanyi!
"Why are you here?" Li Hanyan asked coldly, the look of rejection on his face should be very obvious!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly, "I should be asking this to the eldest lady, right? The general seems to have asked you to go back and have a good rest. What if the general knows that you are wandering outside at this time? That would be interesting!"
When Li Hanyan heard Li Yukun's name, she was still a little afraid and did not dare to speak casually.
"Aren't you also outside?" Qinglian said loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly, "Do you think the general will punish me for this? I went out to buy some things for my parents and went back to honor them, but it's you, so you're not afraid of being punished by the general?"
"Despicable!" This was Li Hanyan's highest evaluation of Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't care and ate the candied haws in his hand, "Thank you for the compliment!"
One sentence made all four girls angry. "How shameless are you?" Qinglian asked curiously.
At this time, Shen Wei spoke from the side, "Miss Qinglian, this is Mr. Zhao Mingqing's second son after all. You are a maid, so please be careful what you say!"
When Qinglian heard this, she hurriedly shut up. Although she hated Zhao Xuanyi very much, the identity of the two was very different. If Zhao Xuanyi said a few words in front of the general's door, she would probably be severely punished. , after all, no one can live with life!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't care and raised the candied haws in his hand: "Do you like to eat it?"
"Okay!" Lychee came over and took two bunches, opened her mouth and started eating.
"Lychee!" Li Hanyan, Ziyuan and Qinglian shouted at the same time.
"Ah? Do you want to eat too?" Lychee raised the candied haws in his hand!
Li Hanyan was speechless for a while. What else could she expect from a fourteen-year-old child? "Hum, I understand. Now go back to the inn. Are you satisfied with Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Xuanyi shrugged, "It has nothing to do with me. I came out to buy gifts for my parents and met you all by chance. However... if the eldest lady is willing, I would like to trouble you to help the next one. I will definitely be happy to meet you tonight." How about forgetting everything?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
Li Hanyan had a look of contempt on his face, as if all this had already been in his mind. "I know you are not so easy to dismiss. Tell me, what do you want?"
"It's nothing, I just want to borrow it from Sister Ziyuan. I really don't know what you women like. I didn't pay attention when buying gifts for my mother. I want to ask Sister Ziyuan to choose with me. Isn't it difficult?" Zhao Xuanyi asked softly. .
When Zi Yuan heard this, her expression changed instantly. Now Zi Yuan is hiding from Zhao Xuanyi like a tiger. Who knows what this man who is full of people in the city is planning?
Li Hanyan snorted, "Do you think I will agree? Ziyuan is very dangerous in your hands!"
Shen Wei cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, young lady, if Miss Ziyuan is willing to help, I will ensure Miss Ziyuan's safety and won't let her suffer any harm!"
