Chapter 184 Arrival at Chaoyang County
Early morning.
As the sun slowly rose from the east, a carriage left the official road and stopped outside the city.
Li Beifeng jumped off the carriage, stretched his body, and looked up into the distance.
At this moment, a huge city came into view.
Magnificent and towering like clouds.
On the towering city wall in the distance, three big characters were written.
"Chaoyang County City!"
When he saw these words, Li Beifeng, who had come all the way, was finally relieved.
Finally arrived.
Half a month ago, Li Beifeng set out from Lijia Village and traveled all night and finally arrived at the legendary Chaoyang County.
At this moment, it was early morning, but the city gate was already crowded with people and a long queue formed.
People were coming and going at the city gate, shoulder to shoulder. The streets near the city gate were full of vendors doing small business and merchants from all walks of life, gathering together...
This kind of grand occasion was something Li Beifeng had never seen in Ping'an County before.
Although Ping'an County was indeed prosperous, it was still far behind what was in front of him.
As the most prosperous city with a developed economy in Nanzhou, it was obvious from what was in front of him.
Is this the legendary Chaoyang County?
Rumor has it that it gathers many people from all walks of life, a paradise for all kinds of people?
For a moment, Li Beifeng's heart rose with a bit of heroic spirit.
From this moment on, he had already stepped half a foot into the world of martial arts.
Naturally, he had to be cautious in every step that followed.
After packing up his things, Li Beifeng turned around and walked towards the city gate of Chaoyang County.
At this moment, a long line had formed at the gate of the county.
Merchants and vendors coming and going had to undergo strict inspections if they wanted to enter the city.
Li Beifeng mingled in the crowd, keeping a low profile and acting cautiously.
An hour later, it was finally Li Beifeng's turn in the long line.
An armored soldier stopped Li Beifeng's way, staring at him with a pair of eagle eyes: "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in the city?"
Li Beifeng took out a pass from his arms and handed it to the soldier.
He said, "Sir, I came from another place and am a doctor. This time I came to Chaoyang County because I admire the Jishihui in the county city and plan to visit it..."
In this era, ordinary people cannot travel far.
If you want to travel far, you must also have a certificate like this "pass".
For Li Beifeng, this certificate is naturally not difficult to get. Su Shan had prepared it for her when she was in Ping'an County before.
Chaoyang County has strict defenses, and anyone entering and leaving the county city must undergo strict inspections.
The excuses Li Beifeng found this time can also be said to be flawless.
As expected, when the soldiers at the door checked Li Beifeng's pass and confirmed that he was fine, they heard that Li Beifeng was a doctor who came to visit the Jishihui, and they immediately showed a bit of respect on their faces.
In this era, the status of doctors is still very high. Therefore, the soldiers, with respect, did not even check Li Beifeng's package.
"It turns out to be a doctor, it's okay, please come in..."
The soldiers hurriedly let him go.
Li Beifeng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"
He put away the pass and turned to step into the city.
As soon as he stepped into the city, Li Beifeng felt the prosperity of the city.
If what he saw outside the city just now was just the tip of the iceberg, then at this moment, what was presented to Li Beifeng was the prosperity of Chaoyang County.
It was more prosperous and more beautiful than outside the city.
What came into view was a wide street, with no end in sight, and bluestone slabs on the ground. Around the street, there were all kinds of shops.
Restaurants, teahouses, various food stores, rare treasures from the Western Regions, and even not far away, there are several young women dressed in cool and gorgeous clothes, hospitably pulling every passerby, understanding everyone's hard work, and warmly inviting them to rest in the store for a while...
Paradise on earth!
Li Beifeng couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this scene in front of him, he had to sigh that Ping'an County was really a poor and remote place in comparison...
If nothing else, the quality of the girls in this brothel is completely incomparable.
Just as Li Beifeng was sighing, suddenly a sound of horse hooves came from behind him.
Li Beifeng turned around.
Then he saw a group of young people riding horses outside the city gate behind him, ignoring the soldiers at the city gate, and rushed directly into the city.
The soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop them at all, and quickly gave way.
At this time, the passers-by who were originally queuing outside the city gate also avoided them, fearing that they would be affected by the fish pond.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the road!"
At the front of the herd was a young man showing off his power.
With a rebellious look on his face, he rode his horse around the street while yelling at the pedestrians around him.
Behind him, there were four or five young men in gorgeous clothes, who were obviously dandy.
When the pedestrians on the street saw this scene, they hurriedly retreated and avoided the sharp edge.
Li Beifeng stood still.
Good guy!
He just praised the county city for being better than a small place like Ping'an County.
As a result, such an arrogant and domineering young man appeared in the next second.
Dare to ride a horse and run wildly in a place like the county city, this attitude is obviously more dandy than Cao Yan.
What's the background?
No one can control it?
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, the young man on horseback was running wildly on the streets of the city when he suddenly saw a stunned young man appearing not far away. He actually stood on the side of the road blocking his way, and he suddenly became furious: "Are you looking for death?"
Li Beifeng glanced coldly at the man on the horse, and there was a pear blossom needle under his sleeve.
I just came to the county, so I can't let others bully me.
Li Beifeng decided to punish this arrogant and domineering dude.
"Little brother, get out of the way!"
At this moment, an old man suddenly pulled Li Beifeng aside.
At the same time, horse hooves passed by Li Beifeng's position just now.
Li Beifeng was just about to be hit.
"Are you desperate for your life? What will you do if you get hit? It's just a small matter if you get hurt... If you offend him, I'm afraid there will be no good consequences!"
The old man was relieved.
Li Beifeng glanced at the old man, and the pear blossom needles under his sleeves disappeared instantly. He asked, "Is it possible that this county allows them to ride horses like this?"
"Of course not, but who gives someone the big deal?"
The old man glanced at Li Beifeng and saw that he was a young man from out of town. He shook his head and kindly reminded: "Young man, you are from out of town. In this case, you must be careful and don't mess around... Our county In the city, some people cannot afford to offend, just like this group of people..."
After carefully glancing at the group of people who had already ridden away on horseback, the old man continued: "This man's name is Zhou Yun, and he is the nephew of our county captain... He is used to being arrogant and domineering, and the government officials don't dare to care about it. , we ordinary people cannot afford to offend him. If you encounter him, it is best to hide..."
A trace of surprise flashed in Li Beifeng's eyes.
The captain's nephew?
Good guy.
It’s not that enemies don’t get together.
Isn't that Zhou Zhongzheng the biological son of the captain of Chaoyang County?
As expected, it's not that a family doesn't enter a house, and that a family is all the same.
There was something strange in Li Beifeng's eyes. He was stabbed twice by Li Beifeng in Ping'an County in the middle of the week and ran back to the county overnight.
I wonder how this guy is doing now?
Su Changjun came to the county to cause trouble for the Zhou family. Logically speaking, there should be results by now, right?
Li Beifeng gradually had an idea in his mind. Just before he was about to leave, he stopped again, glanced at the kind-hearted old man next to him, and asked, "Old man, can I ask you something?"
The old man also nodded enthusiastically: "What's the matter? Just ask?"
"Do you know any good inns in this county? I'm new here. I'm not familiar with this place. I don't know where to stay..."
When he came to Chaoyang County, the first thing Li Beifeng needed to think about was to find a place to stay for the time being and then make plans.
The old man looked at Li Beifeng and said, "I just came to the county. Let's go to Jianghu Inn."
"Jianghu Inn?"
Li Beifeng was stunned. What kind of inn was this? It was named so casually.
"You don't know this. This Jianghu Inn is the most famous inn in our county, and the price is reasonable... More importantly, I heard that the owner of that inn has a great background, and there are people in the government who live there. It’s definitely no problem…”
Li Beifeng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much, old man!"
…
"Jianghu Inn!"
He stood at the door of the inn and stared for a moment.
I have to say that although the name of this inn is very crude, it is not even of a good standard.
Jianghu Inn...do you want to take advantage of the popularity of Jianghu people?
However, from the outside of the inn, it doesn't look bad.
It shouldn’t be a black shop!
Li Beifeng stepped into the inn.
At this time, there were not many people in the lobby of the inn.
When the shopkeeper behind the inn counter saw Li Beifeng, he immediately asked, "Is this guest officer here to work or stay in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel!"
Li Beifeng nodded: "I want a quieter room, and the environment shouldn't be too bad!"
"Don't worry, sir. My rooms here are clean and quiet, and I will never disturb you."
With that said, the shopkeeper waved to the waiter in the inn: "Quick, take the guest to the private room on the third floor."
The waiter came to Li Beifeng and said respectfully and enthusiastically: "My guest, please come with me."
Li Beifeng glanced at the shopkeeper in surprise: "If you want to stay in the hotel, don't you need to collect cash first?"
Are you allowed to move in without charging money?
The shopkeeper looked at Li Beifeng with a smile and explained: "In our inn, you always check in first and then pay the money... If you enjoy your stay, sir, it will not be too late to give you the money."
Good guy?
Is there this way to open a store?
Li Beifeng gave the shopkeeper a strange look: "If you open a shop like this, shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that someone will stop you?"
The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for giving me face, just for a living. When traveling in the world, you must be convenient for others. But..."
The shopkeeper looked at Li Beifeng and said with a smile: "In the long time since Jianghu Inn has been open, no one has ever asked for money."
Although the shopkeeper was smiling, the smile on his face made Li Beifeng feel something.
This shopkeeper is a bit unusual.
No one will rely on money?
Dare to say such words, it is enough to show that the shopkeeper is indeed very confident.
Li Beifeng was thinking...should he teach this shopkeeper a lesson?
After thinking about it, he shook his head.
Immediately, Li Beifeng followed the waiter to the third floor.
"Sir, this is your room!"
The waiter opened the door and extended his hand to welcome him respectfully.
Li Beifeng stepped into the room.
The room is quite large, well decorated, clean and quiet.
I have to say that the quality of this inn is not low.
Li Beifeng nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir, please have a good rest first. If you need anything, just ask me!"
After the waiter finished explaining, he left the room.
Li Beifeng put down the package in his hand and walked around the room.
Immediately, he opened the package he was carrying and started messing around in the room.
When you go out, safety is the most important thing.
Now that he has arrived in Chaoyang County, Li Beifeng must be careful at all times.
Caution, caution is the most important thing.
After installing a small mechanism in the room, Li Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over.
I have been traveling along the road for half a month and have been exhausted.
Although I haven't encountered any major problems along the way, I did encounter a bandit once.
However, under Li Beifeng's little plan, the bandits were frightened and fled.
After that, it was a safe journey to Chaoyang County.
At this time, Li Beifeng felt uncomfortable all over, so he asked the waiter to prepare hot water.
Going to take a hot bath.
Li Beifeng gave the shopkeeper a strange look: "If you open a shop like this, shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that someone will stop you?"
The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for giving me face, just for a living. When traveling in the world, you must be convenient for others. But..."
The shopkeeper looked at Li Beifeng and said with a smile: "In the long time since Jianghu Inn has been open, no one has ever asked for money."
