Chapter 221 Beef Cattle Tired of Pots
Yunzhong Ancient Road, one of the oldest official roads in the empire, is directly connected to Muyu City from Lanyan City. There are hundreds of inns along the way. It is said that Yunzhong Ancient Road is even older than the Qin Empire and has existed for thousands of years.
...
The night was dull and a man and a woman rode their horses slowly on the ancient road.
Lin Muyu touched the neck of the war horse and couldn't help feeling a little sad. The old horse is probably about the same age as him. He was almost dead, but he even had this chore.
Looking up at the sky, he couldn't help but worry: "It's covered with dark clouds, it's either snowing or raining."
Qin Yin tied the lady's buttons with her cape tied on her chest and said with a smile: "Brother Ayu, since we have come out together, should we choose a new name?"
"Yes, what's the name?"
"Why not like this... just follow your surname. My name is Lin Yin, your name is Lin Yu, how about it?"
"Lin Yu?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile: "It always sounds like he's wet in the rain, it's a bit of a bad omen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of rain fell on his nose, wiped it for a while, it was a little cold, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and said, "It's going to rain. Xiaoyin, let's go quickly, there should be a small town further forward."
"Um!"
...
Not long after, the winter rain began to fall. Fortunately, dim lights came from the road ahead, and someone was home!
Turning over and getting off the horse, Lin Muyu took a worn-out oil-paper umbrella and opened it with a "slam", but found that there were seven or eight holes on it. He couldn't help but smile. Qin Jin really didn't feel sorry for his daughter and godson. Preparing such an umbrella for him was almost dispensable.
However, he still blocked the umbrella above Qin Yin. Qin Yin looked up at him and smiled sweetly and said, "No need, I'll use my cloak to protect myself from the wind and rain..."
"But your cloak is just made of coarse cloth and can't stop the rain at all."
"Oh, too..." Qin Yin stuck out her tongue, almost forgot that what she was wearing was no longer a refined princess cloak.
The two of them led the horses all the way to the lights. After a few minutes, they walked into the town. They could see restaurants and inns from afar. There were many business trips, practitioners, mercenaries, and travelers on the ancient road of Yunzhong. They had already had very good business in the town along the way, especially when it rained and there was no village or shop behind them.
There are more and more people in the town, and it is not abrupt that Lin Muyu and Qin Yin brothers walk in the crowd. After all, the worn cloak on them makes them no different from those who wander around the world.
First, I found a place to eat and rest. Lin Muyu's eyes kept looking at the shops on both sides. Suddenly, his eyes were on a huge plaque with a line of words written on it. He couldn't help but recite: "Beef cattle are sick of pot Tieshanqiong, wow... There are such domineering poems in this rural area..."
"What poem..." Qin Yin curled his lips and held his hand: "You are going to be over and Nian Nian?"
Lin Muyu suddenly felt a black thread, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground and curled her lips: "If you write well, just write well, and write backwards. I really can't see through them..."
Qin Yin held back her smile: "Brother, where will we settle down tonight?"
"How is this restaurant where Iron Pot is irritated? Eat your fill first, and then go to find a place to sleep."
"No..." Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were like water, sweeping the clothes on the two of them, and laughed in a low voice: "Do you think our outfits and professions are suitable for eating expensive beef?"
“That’s right…”
Lin Muyu reached out and pointed to the front, saying, "There is a wine shop that also provides accommodation. Let's live there, right?"
"Yeah." Qin Yin nodded with a smile.
...
The restaurant is coming and going, and the business is very good. There is an umbrella dragon's head hanging on the eaves of the restaurant, which looks a bit ferocious and terrifying. The name of the restaurant is written below, "Umbrella Dragon Tavern". A guy from afar greeted him with a smile on his face: "Do you two want to eat or stay in a hotel?"
"Eat, stay in a hotel." Lin Muyu asked, "How much does it cost to stay here for a night?"
The guy took the war horse and smiled and said, "The two should be husband and wife? It's just 10 silver coins a night to live in a first-class couple's room."
Lin Muyu was about to agree directly. He didn't want Qin Yin to suffer too much with him, but he didn't expect Qin Yin to lift up his cloak and reveal a face with "freckles" and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, how much does a second-class room cost for a night?"
"Three silver coins."
"Then give us a second-class room."
"Okay, please come in, the younger one will help you check in and feed the horses."
"Thank you."
After entering the restaurant, it was indeed smoky. There were dozens of tables in the lobby of a huge restaurant, almost full of people, including wild mercenaries dancing with battle axes, gentle and gentle scholars, and businessmen who silently calculate gains and losses, each of them was busy with their own affairs.
Lin Muyu held Qin Yin's hand and sat down in the corner of the restaurant, greeted the guy, and asked, "Xiao Yin, what should I eat?"
Qin Yin smiled slightly and said generously: "Eat it simple. After all, we don't have many silver coins. Guy, let's give us two portions of coarse bread and a bowl of vegetarian soup?"
"Okay, two of you wait!"
The guy nodded and left. Not long after, their dinner was served. Even Lin Muyu, who had adapted to the hard life of the military camp, was stunned. The thick bread was really thick and hard to touch, and he almost had to use the Dragon Spirit Sword to slice it. As for the vegetarian soup, it was slightly cool. No wonder these two portions only had 10 copper coins in total.
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile when she looked at Lin Muyu's appearance. She dipped the shredded bread into the soup and said, "Brother, you can bite it like this..."
"Oh, is that?" Lin Muyu looked at her with a smile.
Qin Yin opened her cherry mouth and sipped at a corner of the bread. Suddenly, she became petrified. She didn't know that the hardness of the bread was so great. When her face turned red, she put down the bread and said, "It seems that she needs to soak it for a while..."
Lin Muyu laughed.
It is cold and it is not easy to eat something warm. And you can't show your skills here, otherwise you will easily find the truth by others.
After finally finishing the meal, the chef in the restaurant clapped his hands and smiled: "Dear friends in the world, Yunzhong Ancient Road, next is a wonderful program prepared by this restaurant for everyone. Our shopkeeper specially invited several 'excellent beauties' from the Western Regions. They are good at playing the huqin, and please enjoy your face, ha... I'm welcome!"
In the noisy sound, five women in thin clothes walked to the simple wooden stage in the center of the lobby with their huqin in their arms. After Yingying gave a gift, she began to play and sang some songs that Lin Muyu couldn't understand. Although she didn't understand, it seemed that the melody was pretty good. Qin Yin sat there with a smile on her lips, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
After the song was sung, the guy walked onto the stage again, reached out to put his arms around the shoulders of two Western Region beauties, and said with a smile: "My friends have also seen that the beauties in our Umbrella Dragon Restaurant are both talented. It is winter now, and the weather is cold and the heroes must not want to sleep alone. We have tasted the taste of being alone and unable to sleep, so... these five Western Region beauties in front of you can bring them back to your room to accompany you to sleep, but the price is higher... Now, who is willing to take away the little beauty on the left hand side?"
A drunken mercenary in the crowd raised his axe high and laughed: "I want all five, I want them all, five gold coins, a deal! Who dares to compete with me? I chopped him with an axe!"
The guy was stunned and said with a smile: "This man, the number of beauties in the restaurant is limited, so you can't cover all of them by one person! Moreover, one gold coins is too cheap, right?"
"I want you to care, I just want it!"
The mercenary man walked forward with an axe in a snail, while the clerk's eyes flashed and suddenly came forward. The true energy was spiraled in his palm, and he clamped the man's wrist and pushed him out the door. He smiled and said, "This man is drunk too much, so it's better to take a break early!"
With a light hand, the big man groaned and fell into the mud outside.
Lin Muyu frowned, not expecting that there was such a master in the restaurant, and that guy was at least the second level of the earth realm to cultivate!
"Everyone continues to eat and drink, haha, let's continue to compete for these Western Region beauties!" The guy nodded and continued to bow to everyone, looking like a hippie smile.
Soon, five Western Region women were taken away to bed, and the restaurant was in a cold atmosphere, and most of them did not prepare for the rest of the show.
At this time, Qin Yin stood up and said to the restaurant clerk: "My brother and I are artists who are walking around the world... Can you give you a song in your store?"
The guy's eyes lit up. Although Qin Yin put on makeup, the guy could still see the girl's beautiful and refined appearance, so he nodded and smiled: "Yes, please, girl."
"Yeah, thank you."
Qin Yin pulled Lin Muyu, with a soft smile in her eyes and said in a low voice: "I said that you can't be lazy, Xiao Yin plays the piano, and brother dances the sword..."
"All right……"
Lin Muyu gritted his teeth and walked onto the stage with Qin Yin. He raised his hand and pulled out the rusty iron sword behind him, clasped his fists and smiled at everyone, and said loudly: "I and my sister are artists in the world. I pass through the treasure land and offer a piano dance to thank you. If you think it's good, give me three melons and two sons. If you think it's bad, just laugh it off."
Everyone was solemn, and their eyes were all on Qin Yin beside him, all looking at the beauty, who would have time to look at the handsome guy!
...
Qin Yintian sat down beautifully, with a wide range of manners. The temperament and etiquette of His Royal Highness of the Princess were definitely not something that ordinary women could possess. They tied the strings of the seven-stringed lyrics tightly and placed them on their legs. With a light raised hands, the first melody was already raised in the winery, melodious and gentle, as if a girl was talking about what she was thinking.
Lin Muyu was speechless. He was good at raising a sword to kill people, but he was accompaniment of sword dancing... This made him a little embarrassed.
In desperation, he gently waved the sword along the rhythm of the melody. Nothing else was the routine of the Yufeng Sword Technique.
