The next morning, early in the morning.
The sun rose from the east, and Pei Wende had just finished taking in the rare energy of the rising sun. Butler Zhong and Zou Qiwu, who had rested all night outside the inn, were already busy.
As the only older and experienced adults in the entire team, although they agreed to rest temporarily at the inn for one night, they still had to prepare a lot of things.
On the contrary, Pei Hong, as the Yin of Ningxiang County, seems not as reliable as imagined in his daily life.
Coupled with the addition of a little girl who is still in the rebellious stage, one can imagine the pressure on Butler Zhong and Zou Qiwu.
The only good thing is that Zhang Chusheng, another young man in the team, is unexpectedly sensible and can help Butler Zhong and Zou Qiwu run errands and take care of various things.
And it seems that because of exorcising Afeng's evil spirit last night, Zhang Chusheng's reputation among the post officials was surprisingly good.
Whenever Zhang Chusheng needs help, the post officials will always take the initiative to help him, which saves Zhong Guanjia and Zou Qiwu a lot of energy and time.
And during this process, whether it was Butler Zhong, Zou Qiwu, or the post officials, they all noticed that Zhang Chusheng seemed to have some kind of wonderful "luck".
Whenever Zhang Chusheng needs something or says something, what he needs will always appear in front of him in a very "clever" manner.
This may seem like just luck, but in fact it is a manifestation of Zhang Chusheng's "power of truth".
Compared with Pei Wende's "crow's mouth" ability, Zhang Chusheng's "power of truth" is more inclined to show his good and kind side.
Thanks to this, when Pei Wende walked out of the inn again, Butler Zhong and the others had already packed everything and prepared the luggage and carriage needed along the way.
"I remember that Ningxiang is not that far away from here? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"
After being stunned for a long time, Pei Wende couldn't help but murmured softly.
But after taking a look at Pei Hong and Yue'er, who had long been accustomed to it, Pei Wende suddenly realized that he seemed to be "making a fuss".
Pei Hong was born into a family of officials, while Yue'er had a very wealthy father...
These situations that seem exaggerated in their own eyes are just extremely ordinary daily routines in their lives.
In comparison, it was the "simple" climb up the mountain yesterday that was a rare experience in their daily lives.
[It is evident from this that being an official is not upright and being rich is unkind. 】
Shaking his head without any trace, Pei Wende thought of the refugees he met when he went down the mountain yesterday.
Compared with them, the upper class of the Tang Dynasty now lived such a luxurious life, so extravagant that the people living among them were not even aware of their own extravagance.
Under this situation, even if there was no locust plague that was gradually taking shape, the Tang Dynasty was probably destined not to last long.
This is the law of historical cycles, and it is also inevitable at the end of every imperial dynasty.
When those at the bottom who can no longer survive begin to rise up and redistribute productivity and production relations, a new dynasty will be born on the basis of the old empire.

"Little mage, if you need help in the future, please feel free to speak up."
Soon he saw Pei Wende walking out of the station. He didn't take kindly to Pei Hong, his boss. Old Cao immediately came up to him with unabashed gratitude on his face.
"Well……"
Seeing this situation, Pei Wende felt uncomfortable and quickly took a few steps back.
Because no matter how many times he has experienced it, he is still not used to this kind of scene of being warmly thanked.
But at the same time, it was this unabashed gratitude that made him feel that his efforts were not in vain.
"Old man, there's no need to be so polite. This is all what I should do."
Pei Wende, who answered like this, glanced at Pei Hong's carriage unconsciously, and then decisively changed his words.
"Well, if it's convenient for the old man, please arrange a horse for me alone!"
If possible, Pei Wende does not want to have too many interactions with Pei Hong, his "brother."
Therefore, even if the carriage was big enough to accommodate three or five people, Pei Wende still planned to ride alone.
"Of course that's no problem."
Nodding his head clearly, Old Man Cao turned around and signaled the post officer not far away to lead a familiar BMW.
"This is the thousand-mile horse you rode last time. He should meet your requirements."
Old Man Cao, who personally took the reins and led the Chollima to Pei Wende, said in a low voice.
The last time Pei Wende went to Changsha County to deal with the evil ghosts of Beauty Head and Fox Demon Rui'er, he was riding this BMW that could travel thousands of miles a day.
Now when he was led in front of Pei Wende again, the thousand-mile horse obviously did not forget this alien who was "proficient in horse language" and immediately snorted twice happily.
During Chollima's service career, there were many humans who could understand and comfort its emotions.
But there is only one rider who can understand its micro-movements and expressions like Pei Wende, and make various comforts and changes appropriately.
Therefore, Qianli Ma had a very deep impression on Pei Wende, and even regarded him as his own kind.
"Eh? Wende, can you still ride a horse?"
At this time, Zou Qiwu, who noticed the movement here, came over and looked at the thousand-mile horse with a surprised look on his face, which was so docile that it didn't look like a fierce horse.
"This horse is not a good horse at first glance. When you go to Chang'an one day, Uncle Zou will give you a horse with blood from the Western Regions."
When Zou Qiwu said this, he didn't mean to be joking at all.
Judging from the financial resources Zou Qiwu showed, he could get hold of even rarer horse breeds, let alone the blood-stained horses from the Western Regions.
"That's not necessary, Uncle Zou."
Pei Wende decisively rejected Zou Qiwu's proposal. He just didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Pei Hong, but he had no intention of actually raising a BMW of his own.
From what Pei Wende learned, raising a horse in this era is much more troublesome than raising a car in later generations.
Let’s not talk about the value of the high-quality feed used to feed the horses. Just talking about the eating, drinking and diarrhea problems that need to be solved in raising horses is enough to persuade Pei Wende to quit.
Having a snake was troublesome enough, and he didn't want to have an even more troublesome horse.
"hiss……"
As if aware that Pei Wende was slandering her in her heart, Xiaoqing, who had been hiding under his clothes to rest, suddenly opened her eyes.
Just in the next second, Xiao Qing closed her eyes again and entered a deep sleep state while feeling the remaining warmth of Pei Wende's body.
