Three days later.

Li Chengqian took Li Yuan by land and then by water.

Because Chang'an is more than 1,200 miles away from Jiangling, riding in a carriage is too tiring.

At this time, their convoy had just arrived at the ferry.

"Mr. Cen, go ask if we can rent a boat to go to Jiangling!"

Li Chengqian opened the carriage curtain, glanced at the busy ferry, and shouted to Cen Wenben.

"Okay, wait a moment, sir. I'll go ask."

Cen Wenben nodded in response and immediately rode his horse towards the ferry.

Because Li Chengqian and his team came out on short notice, there were no local officials to arrange everything along the way.

For safety reasons, they all changed into casual clothes, changed their names, and prepared to travel in a low-key manner.

About a minute later, Cen Wenben returned from the ferry.

But he said, "Sir, I just went to inquire, and there are no whole boats for rent at the moment. We have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Let's do it tomorrow morning. We're not in a rush anyway. Have you rented it?"

"Rented!"

"Haha, well done, it makes me worry less!"

Li Chengqian smiled and praised Cen Wenben, then turned his head and looked around: "Is there any good inn or government post near this ferry?"

"Yes, I just asked around. There's a good private inn five miles from the ferry, and a messenger station two miles from the ferry."

"Five miles, two miles, they're both about the same. Let's go to the one at five miles!" Li Chengqian made the decision immediately.

"Yes!"

Cen Wenben nodded in response, then turned to Du Caigan and said, "The master has instructed us to go to the private inn in Wuli!"

Soon, their convoy left the ferry and headed towards the inn.

At the same time, in a private inn five miles away.

An innkeeper was welcoming the incoming travelers with a smile.

Because it was not far from the ferry, most of these passengers were merchants who did business by water, and they were all very rich.

So, the job that was originally supposed to be the waiter was snatched away by the innkeeper.

The businessmen and travelers who stayed in the inn, seeing the innkeeper's hospitality, really enjoyed spending their time in the inn.

Don't underestimate the inns in the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps because they experienced the "Kaihuang Reign" of the Sui Dynasty, the inn services in the Tang Dynasty were also very thoughtful.

It not only provides comfortable accommodation for travelers, but also provides a variety of other services.

Such as food and beverages, bathrooms, entertainment facilities, cargo storage services, transportation, etc.

If guests need temporary hiring services, the inn can also provide them.

If a guest dies during their stay, we will also take care of their funeral arrangements.

It is recorded in "Taiping Guangji" that the inn provides bathing services for guests.

For example, "In a hotel in Kansai, a princess occasionally stayed and bathed indoors."

In addition, some inns also recorded their storage services. For example, "An inn in Wude County stored a cart of luggage for travelers."

It can be seen from this that the service measures of the private inn industry in the Tang Dynasty not only covered food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also provided many distinctive services.

However, not everyone in the innkeeper greeted him with a smile, such as the man who just walked into the inn.

He was wearing a coarse linen shirt, looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, had an unshaven beard, and was unruly. It was obvious that he was an ordinary man without any money.

The innkeeper saw him and couldn't help but reveal a mercenary look. He then ignored him and walked towards a businessman behind him. He said with a smile, "Boss Liu, you haven't been here for a while. Where have you been doing business recently? You must have made a lot of money!"

"Haha, Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm here again. I haven't made much money, just enough to make a living. It's the same old thing. I brought two guests with me, so I have to treat them well!"

"Okay, okay, please come in!"

After watching the merchant leave, the innkeeper happily greeted the next merchant. The man who had just entered the inn frowned and said, "Hey, how can you entertain people like this? Can't you see I'm still standing at the door?"

Hearing this, the innkeeper was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said with a restrained smile, "Sir, are you staying at the inn, or just stopping by for a meal?"

"No, why did you treat me like this with that expression you gave them just now?" the man said angrily.

The innkeeper said expressionlessly, "What expression?"

"you!"

The man raised his finger and pointed at the innkeeper, saying angrily, "Prepare it for me."

"Hey, Brother Zhang, we have a 20% discount on bathing today. Please come in!"

Before the man could tell him what he wanted, the innkeeper smiled and greeted the next businessman. It was not until the businessman walked into the store that he looked at the man expressionlessly and asked, "What are you preparing?"

"Humph!"

The man snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to the innkeeper's materialism, and walked in on his own.

At this moment, a group of people came to the outside of the inn and instantly attracted the attention of the inn owner.

He came forward with a big smile on his face, bowed and said, "Dear guests, would you like to stop by or stay the night?"

"How many rooms do you have in this inn?"

Du Caigan asked condescendingly while riding on his horse.

The innkeeper subconsciously glanced at the sword at Du Caigan's waist, and his heart trembled instantly. He hurriedly said, "My lord, our inn is small, and we don't have many good guest rooms. There are only three left!" Hearing this, Du Caigan narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many other rooms are left?"

"This"

The innkeeper hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, "There aren't many other rooms. There are only ten, and some are reserved, so..."

"Without further ado!"

Before the innkeeper could finish his words, Du Caigan ordered without question: "All the guest rooms here are ours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-clad warriors rushed into the inn, causing a series of crisp ping-pong sounds and the innkeeper's desperate wails.

Li Chengqian's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Old Du!"

"Ok?"

Du Caigan was stunned for a moment, because he was rarely called by such a name, so he looked at the carriage behind him hesitantly: "What do you want, sir?"

"Didn't I tell you before? Keep a low profile! Did you forget?"

Li Chengqian's somewhat depressed voice came from the carriage.

"Oh, I see!"

Du Caigan reacted immediately, jumped off his horse, and with one quick step, kicked a black-clad warrior who was beating a merchant away. He looked around angrily and said, "The young master said we should keep a low profile. Are you all fucking deaf?"

After saying that, he personally led people to surround the entire inn.

Li Chengqian wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, no matter how deep it was.
"Hahaha!"

Li Yuan, who was standing by, laughed out loud.

"No, Grandpa, is he always like this?"

"Well, he used to be Li Mi's man."

"No wonder."

Although Du Caigan's way of doing things is debatable, it is undeniable that he is definitely a loyal subordinate.

This was true for Li Mi and also for Li Yuan.

Soon, the grandfather and grandson walked out of the carriage amid the trembling gazes of everyone.

"call"

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Li Yuan took a deep breath. A familiar sense of freedom seemed to have returned, making him feel very happy.

But he sighed and said, "When your father persuaded me to start a rebellion, I was always hesitant because the cost of rebellion is very high. If it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, my whole family will be destroyed.

Later, after your father had tried to persuade me, I told him that from now on, regardless of success or failure, it would all be your decision."

"Later, I told him that if his career succeeded, it would be all due to your advice, and I would definitely make him the crown prince."

"But your father refused."

"From that time on, I couldn't understand him."

"Later, as our careers became successful, more and more people gathered around us, and they started vying for power and wealth. I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake anymore."

"Once, Pei Ji suggested that I give orders to your father, your eldest uncle, and your fourth uncle at the same time to see who would listen to me. As it turned out, my orders were not as effective as your father's. From that, I realized that your father was no longer the son I once knew."

At this point, Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes, I wonder, if I had not listened to your father's advice and lived a low-key life in Jinyang, would I have avoided losing all my sons?"

"This"

Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I don't know the situation at that time, I think that with the reputation of my Li family in Taiyuan, it would be difficult to keep a low profile."

"hehe."

Li Yuan smiled and said with emotion, "Yes, it's hard to keep a low profile. Who says we are born into aristocracy?"

Li Chengqian: "."

Sometimes, communication between people is so unexpected that it leaves people speechless.

As the saying goes, 'You never stop learning as long as you live', a person's life is a process of constantly making mistakes and learning.

At this moment, what Li Chengqian learned was that when someone wants to be Versailles, you'd better stay away from him.

It is not difficult to hear from Li Yuan’s words just now that Lao Li is definitely a hidden CPU master.

Emperor Li II probably suffered greatly from it, which is why he rebelled.

As for Du Caigan.
After surrounding the inn, they saw Li Yuan getting off the carriage and immediately ran to Li Yuan and said respectfully: "Master, the inn has been cleaned up, you can check in anytime!"

"Yeah, well done."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the merchants who had been driven out, frowned, and said, "Although it's difficult for people like us to keep a low profile, when we go out, we still have to win people over with our virtues. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Du Caigan rushed directly to the innkeeper without saying a word: "Our master said that we should win people over with virtue. We will pay you after you finish your stay!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the inn was stunned.

No matter if they were staying overnight, innkeepers, or waiters, they all looked like petrified.

They were so caught off guard!

Even Li Chengqian was stunned.

I thought to myself, are you crazy? You call this winning people over with virtue?!
