Chapter 84 Hongmen Inn (1)
...
"Slow down! Let me think about it carefully." The black-clad bandit leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and scolded his subordinates: "Don't just stand stupidly, think about it quickly!"
"Yes, yes!" The bandits immediately began to scratch their scalp and beard, thinking hard.
"I remembered it." Dog's leather jacket slapped his forehead, "I seem to have heard that Yanshan Hou has something to do with this."
"Yanshan Hou?" Ou Chuyang wondered, there was no emperor or court in this world, why did a marquis pop up?
The black-clad bandit leader replied: "The Yanshan Hou is named Hou Guanghe, and he is the chief clerk of the 18 peaks and 36 villages in Yanshan."
"His one has anything to do with this beast tide?" Ou Chuyang asked hurriedly.
"This...I don't know much about this..." The dog's leather jacket said hesitantly.
"Hmph! It's not all untrue. Do you think I can't kill people?" Ou Chuyang stared at the dog's wallet jacket with a fierce look on his face.
"You fool!" The black-clad bandit leader knelt down and stretched out his feet to kick the dog's leather jacket beside him. "I know what, why don't you tell me all of it quickly. You want to kill me!"
The dog's face was mournful and complained: "I...I really don't know... It was the last time I was drinking at Hongmen Inn... I heard a little wind in a vague way..."
Ou Chuyang and Wei Dongheng looked at each other and knew that these minions at the bottom must have limited knowledge. To get more information, they had to go to Hongmen Inn to inquire.
"I believe you for a while. But if you dare to reveal a little about today's affairs, I will make you regret giving birth to your mother's womb!"
Although Ou Chuyang's words were full of murderous aura, they were more beautiful than the sound of nature to the bandits. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you for not killing me. We swear that we will never reveal a word. If we violate this oath, we will not die if we hit the sky and thunder!"
Ou Chuyang would not believe in anything that "thunder will not kill you." However, he believed that these robbers did not dare to disclose the news. They confessed to Yanshan Hou. If it was leaked, they would be seeking death by themselves.
"Actually, I like robbing, but unfortunately I have never had time. I happened to meet you today, which really made me very happy." Ou Chuyang smiled kindly and said, "Take your crystals and valuable things!"
...
Hongmen Inn is named after its location in Hongmen Gorge, and Hongmen Gorge has nothing to do with the Chu-Han dispute in Chinese history. Hongmen Gorge is located in the middle of the Yanshan Mountains, and has the same meaning as Huiyan Peak to the west, which means that when the geese fly here, they will turn back and cannot fly north anymore.
Hongmen Gorge is more than ten miles long, and the terrain in the canyon is wide and flat. It is the most important passage between Yanzhong and Yanbei. People and cars are very lively. Hongmen Inn is located on a hill ten miles north of Hongmen Gorge, and its business is very popular. Because after passing here and going north, there is no inn to stay.
After walking and stopping, flying for a day and a night, Ou Chuyang and Wei Dongheng came to Hongmen Inn.
This Hongmen Inn is definitely the largest inn Ou Chuyang has ever seen. When you walk up the hill, you will see a long string of red lanterns carrying a tall flagpole. Below the flagpole is a circle of wooden fences, with a three-meter-wide courtyard gate in the middle. A plaque hanging on the door, with four vigorous words "Hongmen Inn" written on it.
Behind the courtyard gate is facing a three-story main hall. On the left is a spacious stable with 180 good horses fostered. A row of smoke rising from the roof on the right is supposed to be the kitchen and storage room. The accommodation rooms are all in the quiet backyard behind the main hall.
Ou Chuyang followed Wei Dongheng into the main hall, and there were more than a dozen round tables inside. Hundreds of diners were eating and drinking, which was very noisy.
"Shopkeeper, we want two rooms." Ou Chuyang shouted loudly.
"The two guests are really embarrassed, there is only one room left in the room." The shopkeeper over 50 years old said with a smile.
Ou Chuyang said: "Then give us a room and an ordinary room."
"The ordinary room has been full." The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "I heard that Yanbei has a secret treasure. More and more people have come to Yanbei these days to travel through Hongmenxia and rush to Yanbei."
"Secret treasure...what secret treasure?" Ou Chuyang's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Hongmen Inn was right. This is definitely a distribution center for all kinds of news.
The shopkeeper replied: "I don't know very well what's specific. After the guest is settled, you can inquire more."
"Then let's open a room first." Ou Chuyang thought of asking Wei Dongheng to live in the room, and just find a place to deal with it. When you go out, there is not so much attention.
"Slow down!" At this time, a handsome man walked into the door, "I want this room."
Ou Chuyang said with an unpleasant expression: "Don't you know how to come first and then come?"
"Have you not heard of Fengyulou?" The man in a strong outfit smiled proudly, took out a waist sign and threw it on the counter.
The shopkeeper picked up the token and saw that the black carved waist sign was engraved with a blood-red wind on the front and a silver-white rain on the back. The shopkeeper walked out of the counter quickly and bent down respectfully and said: "It turned out that the distinguished guest from Fengyu Tower is here. The villain is indifferent to greet him, and he is indifferent to respect. Please invite him in the distinguished guest."
The shopkeeper personally led the way, led the strong man to the backyard, and left Ou Chuyang and the others aside. At this time, the noise in the lobby seemed to have become much smaller.
Ou Chuyang was about to take off, but Wei Dongheng grabbed him and shook his head. This surprised Ou Chuyang. Will the dignified Heavenly Power be so tolerant? Who is the origin of this Fengyu Tower...
"My brother and I hit it off at first sight. I'm not happy to drink him here for three days and three nights today?" Wei Dongheng laughed and then said in a low voice: "It's easy to find out the news in this lobby, and there's no need to stay in a hotel."
Ou Chuyang understood it and laughed three times, "I can't ask for it, Brother Wei, please!"
...
"Eight horses!"
"Six and six six!"
"Hello, brothers!"
"Five leaders!"
Most of the people who come to Yanbei to survive and make money are rough, powerful and brave. Therefore, the inn lobby is filled with strong aroma of wine and pungent sweat odor, filled with wine calls and heroic laughter, which is much more lively than the vegetable market.
I said the truth after drinking. This was not completely right, but at least half of it. That was to drink a few cups of yellow soup and talk more. Even the taciturn people who were usually silent will become chattering after drinking too much, let alone a group of rich men traveling around the world. So Ou Chuyang and Wei Dongheng just sat down and heard a lot of discussion around:
"I heard that the Yanxi earthquake was cracking and a canyon was exposed. There was a ray of light inside, and it seemed that there were rare treasures about to be born. Is this true?"
"Why did I hear that half of the mountain collapsed, revealing the caves in the mountain, and the glowing glow inside seemed to be about to be born? Which news is true?"
"No matter which one is true or not, it's all said that in the Yanxi area, all rare treasures are about to be born. Wouldn't you know just by going to see them?"
Earthquake? A strange treasure? Ou Chuyang remembered the island where Qianyuan Kunyu and his beloved senior sister buried. Wasn’t it caused by an earthquake? Is another Sword God Secret Treasure about to be born?
