There was nothing to say all night, and the sky was still bright and the rooster was still crowing, Zhao Boduan, who had gotten up early, called Abi, said goodbye to Wang Quan, and got on the carriage parked in the backyard. Zhao Boduan, who had been driving the carriage for a day, now has experience. He easily turned some bends on the street, and allowed the carriage to drive out of the town smoothly, and briskly climbed the official road to Hengshan.

After rushing for more than 20 days in a row, the two of them finally arrived at the east gate of Hengshan City. Zhao Boduan looked at the tall east gate, let out a long breath, and sat on the shaft of the car and sighed: "These innocences are so tired. They can't eat well and sleep well. They have lost several pounds of body weight, but we finally arrived."

Abi has been sitting in the ancient carriage. In the carriage without shock absorption system and springs for many days, she almost broke her butt, even with a thick cushion, it was useless. Her face disappeared and her cheeks were a little sunken. She said weakly: "Brother Zhao, Fuzhou is too far from Hengshan. It would be so exhausting to drive such a long way. If I had known that it was so hard, Abi would have just become a disciple in Fujian."

Zhao Boduan said: "There are no great martial arts schools in Fujian. If you can't learn any advanced martial arts, it's better not to worship them. But in the next few days, we will rest in Hengshan City for a few days to nourish our energy and you will go to the Hengshan School to become a disciple."

Abi cheered in the car: "Brother Zhao, this is a good idea. Let's go and find the inn to rest."

Zhao Boduan and Abi both felt very hardworking along the way, and the horses who pulled the cart were even more so. The horses had changed three times. Now the fourth horse who pulled the cart was the fourth horse, and they were still quite strong, so they pulled the two of them into the city.

After leaving the long and dark corridor in the west gate, Zhao Boduan found that the streets were full of martial arts people. He was tall and short, fat and thin, young and old, and sword-carrying swords. He would see these people after walking a few steps. Looking around, there were only a few hundred people in the martial arts world on this street. Zhao Boduan estimated that there were at least one or two thousand people in Hengshan. This was the place where he had seen the most martial arts people.

Zhao Boduan said: "Abi, we are in trouble now. So many people flock to Hengshan City, it would be strange if the inn is dissatisfied!"

Abi said: "Brother Zhao, let's go to an inn first to ask, maybe there is still a free room."

It was very difficult to walk on the street with crowds. The carriage could only move forward slowly. It took a cup of tea to move a few hundred steps. It was as slow as a snail. It took a lot of effort to avoid the pedestrians on the way, and the two of them came to an inn not far away. Zhao Boduan looked up and saw the dark red plaque. It turned out that this inn was called Hongchen Inn. It was quite literary and artistic, and he thought to himself.

Zhao Boduan jumped out of the carriage, crossed the inn-high threshold, and went straight to the high counter, asking the thin shopkeeper who was about 40 years old, "Do you still have free rooms here? You need two." One of his right hands was on the hard counter, and the smell of the camphor tree spread faintly into his nose, making people clear.

The shopkeeper smiled consistently, put down the small abacus in his hand and said, "This guest official, we have no guest rooms in Hongchen Inn. However, if the guest official is in a hurry to find a house, there will be a good room in the old man's house empty. If he rents it for only five taels of silver for half a month, he will see if the guest official is willing to live there."

Zhao Boduan snorted, looking at the shopkeeper's shining eyes, guessing that this person was doing private work with the inn on his back, but finding a place to stay with Abi is important, but he can't control the affairs of the inn owner, and said, "Let's lead the way. There are too many people coming to Hengshan City these days. Your inn business is really good."

The shopkeeper nodded and called another 16 or 17 years old boy and ordered: "Xiao Huzi, take this guest official and his carriage to the east wing of my house. There are two more houses that are empty, go quickly." After saying that, he said to Zhao Boduan: "Xiao Huzi, please follow my nephew Xiao Huzi. But the money is...

Zhao Boduan took out a small inlay of silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper. He raised his voice and said, "If the environment there is very poor, I will come to settle the score with you."

The shopkeeper bit the silver ingot with his teeth and found two lines of clear tooth marks left on it. He happily took them in his arms and hurriedly said, "My wife cleans it there every day. It's very clean and will never be dirty. Please don't worry, please don't worry."

Seeing that Xiaohuzi had already left the inn gate, Zhao Boduan did not continue talking nonsense with the shopkeeper, and came to the carriage and drove the carriage behind Xiaohuzi's boy. Of course, he had never been to Hengshan City in ancient times, and was not familiar with the streets here at all, so he had to follow Xiaohuzi.

After walking through four streets, Xiaohuzi turned into a bluestone alley. Both sides of the alley were old walls, and bushes of moss grew spiritually on the walls. The walls were surrounded by yards, clearly distinguishing. This place suddenly became very quiet, and there was no hustle and bustle of the street, and a feeling of comfort came out in his heart. It was particularly comfortable.

Zhao Boduan wanted to know the recent situation in Hengshan City, so he asked Xiaohuzi five or six steps ahead: "Xiaohuzi, has there been any major events in Hengshan City recently?"

Xiaohuzi replied in a deep voice: "This Hengshan City has always been under the influence of the Hengshan Sect, so the Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony of Master Liu Er of the Hengshan Sect attracted many heroes from the rivers and lakes. The city became lively and the inns were full of people. Once there were more than a dozen heroes in the rivers and lakes fighting each other every day, and the officials' constables and yamen runners were too busy. Fortunately, these people were worried about the Hengshan Sect, and there was no such thing as the deaths of the people."

Zhao Boduan laughed and said, "This person just likes to watch the fun. Liu Zhengfeng is famous in the world and is second only to the head of Mo Da in Hengshan sect. Of course, there are many people coming to support him."

Xiaohuzi suddenly stopped and turned around and pushed open a red door with a little paint loss. This door has been a bit old, and when he pushed it open, it made a loud creaking sound. It was not very smooth, and it was all over the place.

Xiaohuzi pulled the door to the maximum until the wooden door was close to the door frame and could no longer push it, and said, "Call, come in. Be careful. This door is not too wide, be careful to hang it in the carriage." After seeing the carriage pass the door safely, he said, "There are six martial arts heroes living in the wing room in the west, and three in the east. Do you want to get to know them?"

The backyard is not big, and the carriage takes up about one-tenth of the area after entering, making it look even more narrow and crowded. The loess on the ground was pressed tightly, as if it was stepped on a stone, with no flowers, plants, trees, and rockery on it, which was very ugly. There was a thatched cottage in the west corner of the yard, and a strong smell floated over from a distance of seven or eight meters.

Zhao Boduan held his breath slightly, thinking that these guys usually find it difficult to speak because they have martial arts skills, and they don’t want to make trouble. They said, “Just take us to the east wing room, don’t talk so much nonsense.” After Abi got off the carriage, parked the carriage, he followed Xiaohuzi with her.

Passing a moon-shaped arch from the backyard, Xiaohuzi led the two of them to the gravel road. The road was about ten feet wide, with a row of houses standing on both sides, probably the east and west wing rooms. The tall house located across the front of the wing room was like a hall. After getting off the hall, he came to the gravel road.

At this time, the two of them strode out of a house in the west wing and headed towards the hall, as if they were about to go out. Zhao Boduan looked over. They were one tall and one short, and they were both over forty years old, and they were all carrying weapons. When Xiaohuzi saw this, he greeted him with a smile on his face and went up to say hello.

Zhao Boduan and Abi didn't know which room was in the east, so they had to wait for Xiaohuzi to come back. The shortest of the two looked here and nodded slightly, as if they were saying hello. However, Zhao Boduan ignored it.

Soon, Xiaohuzi turned around and returned, and continued to lead Zhao Boduan to the row of wing rooms in the east, two rooms closest to the hall. Xiaohuzi pushed open a door, took the lead in and said, "This is the room for two. Are you satisfied with the guest officer?"

Zhao Boduan looked at the room carefully and found that the house was cleaner. He reached out to touch the table, and there was no obvious dust on his fingers. He lifted the quilt and turned it out, and there was no stain. The thick straw matted under the bed was also very dry. Zhao Boduan said with satisfaction: "It's okay here, but you have to make some tea. We have not drunk water after entering the city."

Xiaohuzi quickly agreed and went out with a teapot. Zhao Boduan looked at Abi holding the package, stood behind him, and quickly asked her to sit down, snatch the package and threw it on the bed.

Zhao Boduan smiled and said, "Abi, let's take a break now. We will go to the restaurant to have a meal later and reward our stomachs. I'm tired of eating wild game these days, and I feel a little vomiting when I see the barbecue."

Abi echoed: "Brother Zhao said, but I think Brother Zhao's barbecue skills are very good and I like it very much."

Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "Don't make me happy, I can't even eat it myself."

The two of them talked for a while, went out and came to the streets of Hengshan. From the quiet alley to the endless crowds of people, the noisy street made Zhao Boduan feel a little uncomfortable. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner. Zhao Boduan looked for a restaurant, went up the second floor and found a table by the window, ordered a large table of hearty wine and dishes, with more than a dozen dishes.

Abi asked in surprise: "Brother Zhao, you ordered so many foods and wasted it if you couldn't finish them. I can't eat much."

Zhao Boduan touched his stomach with his left hand and smiled, "I can't help but worry, I won't waste it."

After a wolf was voracious, most of the dishes were eaten by Zhao Bo. Every dish was almost eaten up, and there was no waste.

After the meal, the two left the restaurant and walked slowly on the street, gradually merging into the endless stream of people. Abi looked left and right, and was very curious about the shops where many people entered and left. Zhao Boduan asked her to enter the shop and buy them when she saw something she liked.

After a tour, Abi didn't buy anything, but held two candied haws in her hand. The bright red hawthorns looked very beautiful with the transparent rock candy outside. When it was getting dark, Abi urged Zhao Bo to return to his residence to rest. Soon, the two returned to the room in the east wing.

Zhao Bo brought a cup of tea, put the teapot back, and said, "Abi, you are the innermost house. I am meditating next door and practicing martial arts. I have been busy traveling these days, but I have lost my internal energy cultivation. I can't do it without replenishment."

Abi replied softly.
