Passing through the hillside, Gusu City was revealed in the distance. Qin Bai couldn't help but let out a breath, the hard days were finally over.
Who would have thought that he would go to the desert during this period, and it would not be easy to eat and sleep in the open on the road.
Nearly three months have passed since I last left. Before I knew it, it was almost the end of the year, and it was New Year's Day in the blink of an eye.
The government officials at the city gate were a little relaxed, and there weren't many people coming in and out.
Although Qin Bai has a majestic figure, he still holds the scholar's document, and he can easily walk in after showing it.
The two government officials had awe in their eyes, obviously recognizing his identity. After all, a scholar like Qin Bai was the only one in the entire Song Dynasty.
When Qin Bai entered the city gate, he did not see a bunch of achievements like Liangcheng did. It seemed that he was hopeful that he could live a good year in peace.
Just as he was about to go to the inn, he suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a huge wild boar coming from a distance, followed by two people.
One is tall and the other is short. They are wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and their appearance is indistinguishable.
The wild boar was led by a rope and followed behind. This combination really attracted Qin Bai's attention, and he responded quickly.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and for some reason he felt familiar. Could it be...
As soon as the tall and short people arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the government officials. Under cross-examination, they did not reply, and their breathing gradually became heavier.
The short man tried to gesture, but the yamen officer was obviously not fooled, and his face became tense instead.
The main reason is that the tall man is comparable to Qin Bai, and his intimidation is too great, not to mention that they also bring a wild boar that is far beyond ordinary.
Seeing this, the wild boar also vaguely sensed that something was not good. He pretended to lower his head and eat the weeds on the ground, but his body was gathering strength to prepare.
The donkey made a sarcastic cry, and it apparently threw out the three beasts that had tied it up before.
The government officials put their hands on the handles of their swords and slowly leaned over, ready to take action at any time.
The bear in the bamboo hat had beads of sweat on his face, and he and the old ape looked at each other.
Just as the government officials were surrounding them, the panda suddenly jumped on the back of the wild boar, and the old ape grabbed the pig's tail.
The two's movements are so skillful that one can easily tell that they are often like this.
The wild boar barked, showing its mouth full of yellowed teeth. When the government servant was frightened, it knocked away a few people and ran away.
Qin Bai covered his face. These three beasts were probably following him, and they were smart enough to think of the scholar.
By the way, if they hadn't preached the Zhuang Technique before, they might have become monsters in a short time.
Qin Bai became interested in these beasts, but Feng Dian had been sleeping in the open for a long time, and now he just wanted to go to the inn to rest for a while.
Presumably, the three beasts will not leave Gusu City too far, and we will wait until they leave the city.
Qin Bai turned around and walked towards the street. From the decorations everywhere, he could clearly feel the strong festive atmosphere.
Coupled with the fact that it is winter, the farmers who are cultivating are all idle, resulting in a lot more pedestrians coming and going.
However, what is surprising is that Qin Bai did not see the sound of discussing the army's entry into the city. He asked several people in succession, but none of them knew about it.
Could it be that Zuo Qianhu was just passing through Gusu City? If so, it would have saved him some trouble.
He turned around and came to a familiar inn. At first, this inn was very deserted due to the ghosts, but now he can see the guests coming and going, and the business has improved a lot.
Moreover, the inn's plaque was also replaced with a new one. Qin Bai did not expect that the fat boss would actually carve "yyds" on the plaque and hang it at the door.
At this time, the two scholars were pointing at the sign, and there was no lack of appreciation in their words.
Although they didn't know what it meant, they had never seen this type of font before, and it contained a bit of simplicity.
Qin Bai walked towards the inn without stopping, when he heard the scholar behind him continue to speak.
"It's just a pity that a masterpiece handed down from ancient times is hanging in the market. If I have extra money, I will definitely buy this word."
"It's useless if you have money. Some time ago, Mr. Wei Lianzhang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, wanted to buy it with a hundred taels of silver, but the owner of the inn refused."
The conversation between the two fell into Qin Bai's ears exactly. Unexpectedly, Old Wei admired his handwriting so much. He saved him the trouble of buying gifts when he visited another day.
As soon as Qin Bai walked in, he saw the fat boss busy in front of the counter. He had a rosy complexion that he hadn't seen in several months, and he seemed to have gained weight again.
The fat boss raised his head, saw the smile that couldn't be concealed on his face after seeing Qin Bai, and immediately rushed forward as fast as flying.
"Xian Qin didn't say a word when he came, so that I could take care of you."
"Is there a guest room?"
Qin Bai pushed the fat boss away from him in disgust.
"Yes, yes, of course..."
The fat boss left matters in the lobby to the waiter and led Qin Bai towards the second floor.
The other guests didn't dare to say anything. After all, just by looking at Qin Bai, he knew that he was not easy to mess with, and the boss looked so attentive, so he must have a lot of background.
"Is nothing happening these days?" Qin Bai asked as he walked.
"Everything is fine, especially that room, but I have hanged someone before, and since I borrowed your blessing, there has been no more dirty things." The fat boss said with gratitude in his tone, and now Qin Bai's identity is Juren, he His attitude became more respectful.
Indeed, as he said, the door of the guest room where Jourdan died was open, and the damage he had left in the inn had been repaired during this period.
"That's good, then I'll live here."
Qin Bai walked straight towards Zhu Erdan's room. After all, it had been haunted. Even if some time had passed, some people would still be taboo about it, so he definitely didn't rent it out.
"How can this be possible..." The fat boss was about to stop him, but suddenly thought of the amazing destructive power in front of him, and immediately started cleaning Qin Bai's guest room with a smile.
Qin Bai stretched and asked, "By the way, why haven't you seen Ning Caichen? Could it be that he has returned to his hometown?"
"That's not true. Mr. Ning said he only went back a year ago. He should have gone to the temple to offer incense today and will be back later."
Qin Bai thought for a while and found that there were many temples near Gusu City, but only Hanshan Temple was famous.
This Hanshan Temple is very large, with hundreds of monks alone, and it is so popular that many dignitaries will go there.
And now that New Year's Day is approaching, the temple must be overcrowded with tourists.
Qin Bai had never been to Hanshan Temple before because of the imperial examination, but this time he had time to visit as a tourist.
However, he planned to go to the Yamen first to make sure that his election documents were still there. With this good citizen certificate, no matter what he did, it would be easier.
It's a pity that Wei Lianzhang, as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, may have left Gusu City when the imperial examination was over.
