"Yes!" Du Shuang responded, immediately took out a pen and paper, and started writing quickly. Wang Wenzuo on the side let out a long breath. If Liu Rengui hadn't spoken first, he would have reminded him later. Don't look at the fact that this man has not won a few battles since he left Japan, and he also made a saucy operation to attack and kill Onimuro Fukunobu and split the Restoration Army. But as long as he holds on to the blood of the Buyeo royal family, he is like a flag, and people will always gather around him to delay the war indefinitely. Compared with the cost of the war, these thousand pieces of silk and two hundred thousand dollars It's just a drop in the bucket.

Abe Haruko was the first to discover the longhouse. The longhouse is located on the top of a hill on the south side of the road. A low wall surrounds the hill and there is a ditch outside. The bottom floor of the longhouse is made of gray stone, which is one foot or two feet high. The upper floor is made of lime-smeared wood. The ceiling is also paved with stone slabs. There is a watchtower at each end of the longhouse, like two protruding eyes, looking straight at the road.
"This house is so weird!" Anbei Qingzi said: "It's so spooky, I don't know who lives in it!"
"Yes!" Fuyu Fengzhang agreed: "But at this time, most people will not live so close to the road!"
Abe Haruko nodded. It would be a good thing to live next to the road in peacetime, but it is another matter during war. After all, the armies of both sides move around the transportation lines. The closer the villages are to the transportation lines, the easier it will be. Destroyed by the flames of war.
"Let's go around here!" Abe Haruko said.
"Bypass?" Fuyu Fengzhang frowned: "Why, it's getting dark, and the people and horses are all tired. If we don't stay here for the night, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep in the open tonight!"
"Sleep in the open!" Anbei Qingzi subconsciously tightened her long braid: "I have an ominous feeling here. Really, it seems that something bad is about to happen!"
"Haruko!" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed: "There are a hundred of us! Half of them are selected warriors with complete armor and weapons! There are at most thirty people in this house, and at most there are only a few single wooden bows. What is there to be afraid of? of!"
"No! Our people have been running for a day, and the horses and men are tired!" Anbei Qingzi shook his head: "And this is not the time for war. We have to rush to Rencun City as soon as possible. We can't have any further setbacks on the way there. !”
"Okay!" Fuyu Fengzhang was already a little bored. He decided to persuade the other party with gentleness. He grabbed his wife's hand and said: "Qingzi, don't you want to sleep in bed all night? In any case, it is better in the house than in the field. Isn’t it much safer? In my opinion, we’d better see who is in the room before making a decision!”
Anbei Qingzi didn't speak. After a while, she pulled the reins and ran towards the long house. She helped Yu Fengzhang smile and ride the horse to catch up, followed closely by the knights and the mules carrying boxes and cages. At this time, Fuyu Fengzhang had already seen clearly that there was an erected wooden pole on the edge of the low wall at the bottom of the hill, with a dilapidated signboard swinging on it. The words on it could be vaguely seen, and it should be an inn.
"Great!" Fuyu Fengzhang said with a smile: "It turns out to be an inn. I hope the hospitality inside is worthy of a king and queen!"
A knight jumped off his horse and pushed open the door of the low wall before Fuyu Fengzhang. He didn't know what mechanism was triggered, and there was a clanking sound. Apparently, the sound alerted the people on the watchtower. Inside the long house There was a commotion. After a while, a voice came from the longhouse: "Who are you?"
"Hungry and tired people!" Fuyu Fengzhang shouted loudly: "This is an inn, let us go in and prepare food and drinks. We have plenty of money."
Having said this, Fu Yu Fengzhang took off the money bag from his waist and threw it to the guard captain who was standing aside. The captain nodded knowingly, shook it twice, and threw it up with force.
The lookout quickly caught the money bag and opened it. It was full of brand new copper coins. He looked at the money bag suspiciously and then at the armed uninvited guests below: "Who are you? Where are you going?"
"We came from Zhouliucheng to Rencun!" Fuyu Fengzhang did not lie: "As for who he is, you don't need to know that much! Anyway, as long as we pay, we will have nothing to do with him after dawn tomorrow!"
There was no sound in the long house, and Fuyu Fengzhang could feel many pairs of eyes peering at him again, probably wanting to confirm the situation outside. A few minutes later, he heard a soft click, and someone shouted: "Come in, there is wine and Hot meals, but no more than five people can enter the house, and the rest can only spend the night in the yard."
"Five people?" Fuyu Fengzhang looked at the long house, then at the open space behind the low wall, and nodded: "Okay, just five people!"
The door of the longhouse opened, and a man with a haggard appearance and a pockmarked face walked out. He was wearing an old leather armor and carrying a two-handed axe. He bent down to Fuyu Fengzhang and said, "You are lucky, you have fresh food." The meat, an old horse has just died, the wine is too weak, but it is new wine at least!"
"Is there any hay for the horses?" Abe Haruko asked.
"Yes, but you have so many animals, I'm afraid it's not enough!" A look of embarrassment appeared on the man's face.
"Take as much as you have!" Anbei Qingzi took out a small piece of gold cake from his sleeve and threw it over: "If you have horse feed, bring it too. This is the money for hay and horse feed!"
The man caught the gold cake, looked at it under the firelight, took another bite, and laughed: "Inside, please bring out the hay and horse feed quickly, and make the bed, we will meet a noble person tonight!" "
"It's rare!" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed: "I didn't expect you to be so honest as a store owner. Other stores only say it's beef and good wine, so you are the only one who admits it's old horse meat and light wine!"
"I'm not a shopkeeper!" The man shook his head nonchalantly: "He and his woman are behind!" He pointed to the back of the longhouse: "Did you see it? It's under that rock!"
The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense. The leader of the guard stepped forward and blocked Fuyu Fengzhang behind him. His right hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist, and he shouted: "You killed them?"
"Take your hands off this guy!" The man took a step back, raised his axe, and said with a fierce expression on his face: "What do you want to do?"
"Answer my question!" The guard leader pressed the circlip, and the bloodthirsty blade slid out of the scabbard: "Put down the axe!"
The man retreated toward the door, shouting: "You bastard, why should I answer your question? Get out! Get out! This is my territory, brother at the top, tighten the crossbow string, or shoot these bastards if they don't leave!" "
