Chapter 245

The inn here probably didn't have many customers from morning to night, and it was deserted. The owner's family of three probably panicked at leisure. It was rare to meet a distinguished guest, and they all came to serve Su Mo and his party of four, and their attitude could be described as attentive.

After delivering a few side dishes and a jug of wine, the shop owner was very polite and enthusiastic: "Guests take your time, if you need anything, please tell the villain."

"Boss." Biyue raised a gentle and harmless smile, looked at him very kindly and said, "The people in this city seem to live a relatively poor life compared to other places?"

"This guest officer has good eyesight." The middle-aged man showed a look of admiration on his face, which made the corners of Bi Yue and Qi Lang's mouths twitch at the same time——

What good eyesight?Anyone who is not blind can see the situation in this city, and flattering doesn't need to be so substandard, right?

The owner's two daughters followed their father to finish serving the dishes, and then stood quietly aside. The innkeeper then said: "Wenzhou City is located in a remote area, there are no main roads leading in all directions, and almost no businessmen will run here, so the economy is a bit backward. However, poverty is a bit more difficult, but because there is no war, the people live in peace. When the young masters came, did they notice some fruits and vegetables planted in the yards of each household, and they were picked when the harvest was harvested. Go to the neighboring city to sell and buy some rice, enough food and clothing for a year, so you can be considered self-sufficient, very comfortable.”

Bi Yue casually looked around the inn: "But it seems that there are not many men in the city?"

Speaking of this, the innkeeper smiled and said: "The women wash and cook at home to take care of the children, while the men go to the military camp outside the city. The young masters may not know that there is an army stationed there in the west mountain outside the city. The battlefield is just routine training, and young and middle-aged men who volunteer to join can get a few catties of pork every half a month, and if they perform well in the barracks, they can still get money."

Pork... Thinking of the pigs, cattle and sheep I saw on the mountain just now, the corner of Qi Lang's mouth twitched, the military camp was almost turned into a slaughterhouse.

"Is there such a good thing?" Bi Yue snorted, "Which country's army is this?"

The boss said: "This villain doesn't know, those officers won't let me inquire."

Depending on the situation, it seems impossible for the boss to know more. Just as Bi Yue was about to let the boss's family go to rest, Su Mo suddenly said, "How many people does the city have?"

"This..." The boss frowned and thought for a while, "Although Wenzhou is not prosperous, it is relatively densely populated. There should be more than 30 people in the city."

"So, conventionally speaking, there should be tens of thousands of young and middle-aged men, right?"

The boss thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes."

Su Mo turned her head and looked at the two daughters of the innkeeper, one was about fourteen and the other was only fourteen or five years old. , haven't betrothed to others yet?"

Most of the time when Su Mo went out, he dressed as a man, and it was the same today. When he didn't speak just now, his expression was a little cold, and the inviolable nobleness between his brows terrified the hearts of the two women who had never seen the world many times. , although standing here to wait, but the atmosphere dare not breathe.At this time, seeing her smiling when she was talking, her features were picturesque, peerless, she couldn't help but feel a little deer in her heart and her cheeks were flushed.

After a long while, the older girl said nana: "The little girl has been betrothed to her husband's family, but the younger sister hasn't..."

Although the owner of the inn is simple and honest, he also knows how to read his face. Today, although these four young masters don't know where they came from or what their purpose is, they can tell that they are extraordinary people just by looking at their clothes. Respectfully said: "The two daughters of the villain are also considered talented, well-behaved and sensible. The eldest daughter was betrothed to the eldest son of the owner of the clothes shop in the west of the city last year. The younger daughter is not yet married. If the son is happy in his heart and takes care of trivial matters, it is hers." pleasure."

His thoughts are actually very simple, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​climbing high and powerful. He just thinks that he has an errand by the nobleman's side, and he will go out later. With the intelligence of his youngest daughter, it is probably no problem to be a big girl. The eldest girl of the family is somewhat respectable to marry.

Unexpectedly, before Su Mo could speak, the little girl's ruddy complexion had a strange paleness, she lowered her head, and said in a voice like an ant: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to..."

"What?" The innkeeper didn't hear what his daughter was saying, and only thought she was shy.

Su Mo and the others heard it very clearly, and each raised their eyebrows. The girl said... She didn't want to.

I don't want to, huh, it's kind of interesting.

Afraid that her father might not hear, the young woman repeated in a low voice but firmly: "My daughter doesn't want to leave here."

The boss' face changed when he heard the words, as if he was afraid that the distinguished guest would get angry, he couldn't help scolding: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Boss, it's okay." Su Mo smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just asking casually, there is no other meaning, boss, don't take it to heart, well, little girl, don't worry too much."

The woman's voice became more and more low, almost inaudible: "My daughter doesn't want to leave my father and sister..."

"It's okay." Su Mo repeated with a light smile, "If you don't want to leave, don't leave. No one will force you. It's rare for such a young girl to show filial piety."

"Thank you, Young Master." Hearing Su Mo's words, the little girl seemed relieved, and thanked her very politely.

"There is no need to serve here, you go and rest first, don't let anyone come and disturb you."

"Yes, the guest officer is slow to use."

After the three left, Su Mo turned and glanced at Bi Yue, "Is it funny?"

"No, no." Bi Yue hurriedly shook her head, the corners of her mouth raised slightly in a compliment, "This subordinate just finds it amazing, although the last master looks like a fish and a wild goose, but he pretends to be a man, either handsome and cold, or gentle Ruyu, or noble and noble, is not inferior to those royal family and nobles or men who fought in the battlefield."

You Qi also knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

As soon as the words fell, an undisguised sneer came into his ears, with an obvious sense of irony, Biyue's beautiful face twitched faintly, and several veins on her forehead twitched, almost instantly destroying this pair of white jade. Flawless perfect looks.

Biyue gritted her teeth secretly, endured and endured, so that the volcano did not erupt immediately.

Turning his head to look at Qi Lang who seemed to be at odds with him by nature, the master of Fengyilou took a deep breath, raised a stiff smile, and could still hear a bit of gnashing of teeth in his suppressed voice: "Noble Mr. Bai Your Excellency Priest, what advice do you have—?"

Your Excellency the High Priest Bai... Qi Lang's expression changed, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and gave this guy a hard look, "Are you courting death?"

If people who are interested hear that the high priest of Jiuluo did not stay obediently in the imperial capital to pray for the people of Jiuluo, but instead appeared strangely in this poor country, will it immediately cause a burst of panic that they cannot bear?Or, cause tens of thousands of people to worship blindly?

"You know you're afraid?" Bi Yue took his hand away in disgust, "Then play it safe."
