It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 720

Li Xingzai's ostentation when he went out was not something that Cheng Dalei could compare to. He selected a few veterans and prudent disciples from the academy, and together with the good players in the Cao Gang, they gathered a hundred people. The more people there are, the more complicated things will be. The food, clothing, housing, and transportation of these 100 people need to be considered.

So the illustrious team set foot on the road to Chang'an. At the same time, princes from all walks of life also set out on their way.

Inevitably, there are two factions that are fighting between swords and soldiers, and when such a thing happens, they have to temporarily dismiss the soldiers. Coincidentally, I met again on the way to Chang'an, and I had to go in with a white knife and go out with a red knife.

Cheng Dalei's five people walked all the way to the east, there were two or three days of scenery, and they had entered the territory of Jingzhou. Unluckily, there was a heavy rain, and the five had to hide from the rain in a ruined temple.

The rain was pouring down, smashing the head and covering the face. Raindrops form a curtain under the eaves. This temple has been in disrepair for a long time. It rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly in the temple. The dry food that was carried with him was also soaked a lot, and several people were in a state of embarrassment.

Cheng Dalei stood in front of the gate, looked at the pouring rain outside, and grinned: "This rain is really not coming at the right time. If it doesn't stop for a while, we have to spend the night in this temple."

Cui Baiyu pouted and said in her heart, "You don't do good things when you go out. It's raining heavily outside. If you do a few more good deeds, you won't be able to catch up with the heavy rain."

"Hey, as the saying goes, the dragon moves and the clouds move, the tiger moves with wind, and the big boss is like a dragon and tiger. It's also a good sign to encounter such a rain." Liu Fa Cai.

"Uh...haha, it makes sense, it makes sense."

Under the black veil, Cui Baiyu's mouth almost reached his ears.

"However, it's not a way to stop the rain from falling."

"The wind doesn't end, and the showers don't end. Such heavy rain won't last long." Liu Fa Cai.

It just so happened that Liu Facai was right. The rain came and went in a hurry. When the clouds cleared and the sky cleared, it was already dusk and evening. Caixia in the west burned to a bloody color, and it was very spectacular to look at it.

"Okay, let's walk forward again to see if anyone is staying."

Along the way, Cheng Dalei is also miserable. If he can find a place to rest for a night, it will not be too late to hurry.

The five were led by Cheng Dalei, who felt like a small team of learning from the past, embarking on the road all the way east.

It was also luck. After walking three or five miles, a large manor appeared in front of him. The tile-roofed houses are contiguous, and the green willows are shady. There are few bridges and flowing waters like Jiangnan in the north, but the dozens of courtyards are connected together, which is also self-contained.

"Liu Facai, go ahead and ask if he can let us sleep at his house?" Cheng Dalei said, now hungry, he is also looking forward to some hot soup and noodles, and then he can get a good night's sleep.

Liu Fa Cai agreed and walked quickly to the front of the courtyard, where he saw a plaque with "Chen Zhai" hanging in front of the door. He raised his hand and clapped the door, and walked out an old man over sixty years old.

"Father, we are guests visiting relatives in the capital. Can we stay overnight at your place? Now that the road is slippery in this rainy day, we can't walk."

The old man looked at Cheng Dalei in the distance and said, "Our lord has always been good at doing good deeds. Since it is a guest on the road, it is okay to stay overnight, but there are some things today, and it is inconvenient to leave a few guests. ready."

"Hey, since the old man has already given up a meal, why don't he stay with us for another night. We are not free to eat and live, and we will give you more money when the time comes."

Liu Facai took out a small silver ingot from his sleeve and shook it in front of the old man. This time, Cheng Dalei still brought more money, such as hundreds of small ingots.

"Heh, do you know where this place is, my grandfather is called Chen Wanwan, the family has a lot of grain and rice, and piles of gold and silver. I don't care about your money. I wanted to keep you for a meal, but you guys are showing your money, hurry up, hurry up, a There's no meal left."

When Liu Facai heard this, his eyes lit up. There were mountains of grain and rice, and piles of gold and silver. This could totally be robbed. This place is not far from Liangzhou City, and the urgent march will arrive in a few days.

"Hey, back off."

At this time, an old man walked out of the door. His body was made of silk and satin. Although he was a little old, he was well maintained.

"Chen Zhong, why are you making noise in front of the door?"

The servant named Chen Zhong whispered a few words in his ear. The man looked at Liu Facai, and then at Cheng Dalei in the distance.

"Chen Zhong, this is your fault. When you're out and about, no one is going to be inconvenienced. It's inconvenient to be with others, and it's not convenient for you to stay with yourself. How about staying with a few guests for one night."

Saying that, he bowed his hands to Liu Facai, and said, "Don't blame the guests, you are a scumbag, you don't understand the truth, and the guests don't have the same knowledge as them."

Liu Facai also hurriedly returned the salute, looking at the meaning of the old man's words, he seemed to be a character in the arena.

Cheng Dalei and a few people came over, the old man knew who to speak to, and Chong Dalei said: "Old Chen Deshan, a few guests have the right to stay here for the night. However, no matter what happens tonight, please don't come out. , but also for the sake of the lives of several people."

Cheng Dalei clasped his fists and returned the salute: "Thank you, old man, is there something wrong in the house? If it is useful to us, we can also do our best."

"Small matters, trivial matters, I don't dare to trouble a few guests." Chen Deshan waved at Chen Zhong: "Azhong, invite a few guests into the residence and arrange meals, don't wait."

The servant named Chen Zhong led the way and arranged a remote courtyard for the five people, but it was very clean. After killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, the soup and food will be served in a short time. The food in the north is not as refined as that in the south of the Yangtze River. It is nothing more than heavy salt and heavy brine.

Seeing that there was no one left or right, Liu Fa Cai said, "Big boss, what happened in this manor?"

Cheng Dalei pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "What do you see?"

Liu Facai thought for a while: "Although Chen Deshan is over sixty years old, his body is not crooked, his back is not hunched, and his breathing is long and powerful. I am afraid that he will be a trainee when he is young."

Cheng Dalei nodded. After all, Liu Facai also came from Toad Village, so he still has some eyesight.

"Then Chen Zhong is not an ordinary person. His eyes are not separated, and he seems to have kung fu." Cui Baiyu suddenly said.

Liu Facai's attention was on Chen Deshan, but he didn't pay attention to the old servant. Cui Baiyu is also proving his worth, the taste of being called and drunk is actually not good.

"Master, do you want me to go and see what happened to them. The old man is good. For this meal, we have to help them."

"Don't be impatient." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "They don't want to say anything, and they may not be able to ask anything. No matter what happens, we won't know it all at night."

With that said, Cheng Dalei handed a chicken leg to Cui Baiyu: "Come on, you said it well just now, I will reward you."
