beautiful woman returns to dream

Chapter 2 Return to Chang'an

Chapter [-]

Zheng Xian and the others walked all night, and they didn't arrive outside Chang'an City until the sun rose the next day.Zheng Xian rode on the horse and called the man with the knife behind him.

"Feihu, stay outside the city first, and we will enter the city tomorrow."

"Master, there is our own inn not far from the city. If you have to be patient for a while, how about resting after entering the city? How can this lower place compare to our own comfort?"

Zheng Xian sat on the horse very listlessly, and she was very tired when she spoke to Fei Hu:

"I'm very tired now, just find a family to live in."

Feihu complied with her wishes and found a clean inn nearby.Several people walked for a day and a night in a row. They were exhausted and exhausted. After breakfast, they closed the door and went to sleep.

The wide and straight avenues of Chang'an City are lined with green trees. The walls of each rifang are tall and flat.

The streets are bustling with traffic and bustling, bustling people haunt the market, passing through the city gates and square gates on all sides of the avenue.People from foreign countries and people with different looks in strange clothes can be seen everywhere. Some speak with foreign accents, and some speak the same words as the locals in Chang'an, but they still sound a little strange.

Zheng Xian led her entourage, riding horses or driving cars, walking among the endless stream of people. The scene here was the same as when she came three years ago - the prosperity has not diminished in the slightest.They walked on the wide streets, passed by those magnificent mansions, watched the pedestrians coming and going, camel caravans, and shops next to each other on the side of the road, and listened to the various shouts in front of the shops. .Of course, when Zheng Xian passed by on horseback, there were also many people's eyes looking at her, watching her pass by them.Feihu reined in his horse, turned to her and said:

"Master, we're here!"

Look at the spacious inn on the left. There are four gold-plated characters "Yilong Inn" on the front of the inn door.He waited for Zheng Xian to get off the horse, gave her a respectful salute, and said:

"Master, the room has been packed for you!"

"Treasurer Bai, thank you for your hard work!"

Zheng Xian followed the shopkeeper into the inn, followed by Fei Hu and the other three.The rest of the staff, led by the inn staff, pulled the two carriages loaded with goods to the backyard of the inn through the other side door.

Zheng Xian went inside, looked around, and saw that the inn was full of guests drinking and eating, and the interior was neatly and elegantly arranged.The shopkeeper led her to the front stairs, when he suddenly heard a man's voice speaking quickly:

"The two of you lived for six days, and you still owe the rent for three days. If you go out like this, who should I ask for the rent?"

Zheng Xian turned her head and saw that it was the inn clerk who stopped the two women from talking in front of the cabinet, and heard the woman in blue and white in front say:

"When we find my father, I will pay the rent in full."

"You sound good, you have a lot of pennies? If I leave this door, can I still find you? If you want to go out, you have to pay the rent for these three days first. I will clean up this room for you. .If you don’t have the money to pay for the house, don’t you need something to mortgage it?” said the guy.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" Feihu asked.

"This young lady lived in this store with her father six days ago. Her father paid the rent for one day and then went out. He hasn't come back to look for them until now. Although the young lady paid the rent for two days later, But there are still three days of accommodation that have not been paid.”

Feihu looked at Zheng Xian after listening.

"Let them go, and the rent owed will be credited to me." Zheng Xian said to the clerk.

After she finished speaking, she went upstairs. Just as she climbed the two stairs, she heard someone say:

"Miss, I see that you two, master and servant, have come from other places. You must have exhausted your money, and the price of staying in a hotel is so high. How about this? My house is not far from here. You should come to my house first. Next, and then slowly wait for your father to come back. I will not collect rent from you, and I will give you two meals a day, and you will not be charged for the meal. How about it?——Don’t worry! I am a good man of my duty Good people, you still eat fast and chant Buddha, I won’t lie to you!”

Zheng Xian stopped her steps going upstairs, turned her head and looked around, the guest who walked up to the two women to talk frowned, thinking:

"These two people have never seen the world, if they were deceived by this man, wouldn't they be harmed by him?"

She turned around and faced the two women and guests downstairs, and told the shopkeeper and the staff:

"From now on, the board and lodging expenses of the two of them here will be free. If they are willing, we can find some work for them later."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, she went upstairs and entered the room, and the lady and maid who turned around in the lobby showed gratitude on their faces after hearing her words.The young lady saluted the kind guest, said what she had just said to the waiter, and left the inn with the maid.

Frightened by the day before yesterday and exhausted for several days, Zheng Xian who returned to the "Yilong Inn" only felt exhausted and lack of energy. She slept all day yesterday, and today she seemed to be even more exhausted. As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed. Fell asleep on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard continuous knocks on the door, she barely stood up and went to open the door.

After the door opened, Feihu looked at her and said, "Master, are you alright? I checked the door a few times..." He saw Zheng Xian's state, and hurriedly said, "I'll call you a doctor..."

Not much time, Feihu brought a doctor from outside, after showing Zheng Xian's pulse, the doctor said:

"It's nothing serious. I think it's due to overwork and panic, which lead to deficiency of heart and spleen, and restlessness. I'll prescribe two doses of decoction to calm the mind, nourish yin and invigorate qi."

Feihu ordered his subordinate Ding Mo to follow the doctor to grab the medicine. After Ding Mo caught the medicine and fried it, he sent it to Zheng Xian's room.

After Zheng Xian took the medicine, she fell asleep peacefully overnight, and when she woke up again, the sun was already shining through the window.She regained her strength, and after breakfast, she called Feihu to discuss matters.

"Master, this time we were chased and killed by the Holy Spirit Sect several times, and 17 people under Binghao and I were taken away. Liefeng and the other three who served you were also murdered. Now only me, Binghao, and Ding Mo are left. Although there are five fellows who came together, those five people can only do three punches and two kicks. If Cao Yan sends someone to assassinate again, we will not have enough guards, what should we do next?" Fei Hu Kneeling and sitting in front of the incense table, he said.

Zheng Xian leaned against the incense table and listened to Fei Hu's words. She tapped lightly on the table with the fingers of one hand. After thinking for a while, she straightened her body, looked directly at Fei Hu and said:

"You fly pigeons to pass the letter immediately, let Yulong and Yufeng lead 50 people to Chang'an in the shortest time, let Guo Sheng and Su Erqing lead the remaining 60 people, be vigilant, and be optimistic about the business of the shops there. I think that Cao Yan wooed the Holy Spirit Sect and chased me all the way. He must be thinking of getting rid of me first, and then weakening his father's prestige in the heart of the King of Nanzhao. Zhong Daquan."

Feihu put his hands flat on his knees, and said while thinking:

"You are right. This Cao Yan has been acting very frequently there recently, and his ambitions have been gradually expanded and exposed. After all, one-fifth of the Nanzhao treasury comes from your wealth, and the master is also because of this. One advantage is to be able to secure the position of Qingping official in the imperial court. If Cao Yan plans to succeed, he will first consider you."

"Cao Yan is going to put me to death here, and there will be actions there," Zheng Xian said, and she took a letter on the side of the incense table and handed it to Feihu: "This is the letter I gave to you." Father's letter, tell him to be careful of Cao Yan's actions over there, and you also send it."

Feihu took the letter and said:

"Wait for Yulong, Yufeng and the others to come... Do the math, it will take at least two months for them to pass through those checkpoints to get here. Look, should I find you a maid to serve you first?"

"No need, you ask Yan'er from Nanguo Restaurant to come over and take care of me for a few days." Zheng Xian said, seeing that Feihu hesitated to agree immediately, she asked again: "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

"Miss Yan'er came to take care of you, she is considerate and considerate. However, if she comes here, those princes and guests who praise her will come here every day to make trouble. 'Yilong Inn' is no better than 'Nanguo Restaurant' If we can accommodate so many people, I'm afraid there will be many unnecessary incidents." Fei Hu replied.

Zheng Xian smiled and said:

"Though I haven't seen her for three or four years, Yan'er is so attractive, so you've already met her?"

"Yesterday, when you were resting, I went to Nanguo Restaurant and Dongshi Jade Warehouse to take a look. I saw a lot of guests cheering for her in the restaurant."

Zheng Xian nodded and said:

"Forget it then. As for the matter of looking for a maid, let's wait until the urgent matters in front of me are dealt with, and then we can figure it out."

"Yes." Feihu got up and exited the room.

Zheng Xian picked up the pot and was about to pour water for a drink when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," she said.

After a while, a woman came in from outside.

Looking at it, Zheng Xian recognized that it was the woman from yesterday who owed the inn money.
