Chapter 57: arrival

    Sleeping in an inn is more comfortable than sleeping in a carriage.

    Wake up the next day, Wen Chi full of energy.

      Chi's face was smeared - General Lin's fourth brother Lin Yuan did not have a red mole between his eyebrows, so Wen Chi needed to cover the red mole between his eyebrows.

    I have to say, Ruofang's makeup skills are still very good, and the red mole on Wen Chi's eyebrows will be covered without any trace.

    Wen Chi leaned in front of the bronze mirror to have a look, and subconsciously reached out to touch his eyebrows.

    "No, son." Ruofang quickly grabbed his hand, "Although you can't see anything, but you can touch it, and it's easy to wipe off the powder on it, son. It's better not to reach out and touch it."

    Wen Chi sincerely praised: "Ruofang, you are really handy."

    "Young master has won the prize." Ruofang squinted her eyes and smiled very cutely, and then carefully exhorted, "Young master, try to avoid others touching you, go out, after all, we are with those people. Otherwise, be careful."

    Wen Chi nodded: "I will."

    After finishing, Wen Chi and Ruofang went downstairs for breakfast together.

      shuttle between.

    Wen Chi looked around, but didn't see Shi Jin and others, so he asked Ruofang to find a vacant seat and sit down.

    As soon as he sat down, he heard a whispering voice coming from the front, and looking up along the voice, he happened to bump into a few familiar faces.

    These people…

    Isn’t it those young talents who came to Jinzhou at any time?

    I don't know if Wen Chi is thinking too much, and when Shi Jin is not there, these people seem to be unwilling to maintain their friendship on the surface. Seeing Wen Chi raising his eyes to look at them, he quickly lowered his eyes He turned his eyes away and pretended that nothing had happened.

    Wen Chi knew that these people somewhat despised him, but he had no plans to have a good relationship with these people, as long as they were on their own in the future.

    After looking back, Wen Chi called Xiao Er to order.

    "Young Master." Ruofang, who was sitting on the side, also noticed something, and approached cautiously, "Aren't those people who were with the Fourth Prince yesterday?"

    Wen Chi finished ordering and waited for the second to leave before replying softly, "It's them."

    Ruofang touched her nose: "The slaves always feel that the way they look at the son is a little strange, and they seem to be discussing the son."

    Wen Chi asked: "Did you hear what they were saying?"

    Ruofang lowered her head and stammered: "It's not a good word, so please don't ask."

    Since Ruofang said so, then Wen Chi probably guessed something - ten times he said things that looked down on him.

    Lin Yuan, the fourth brother of General Lin, is really unknown in the capital, but now he can follow the fourth prince to Jinzhou to handle national affairs, presumably those people think that he is leaving General Lin relation.

    If Fang saw Wen Chi not speaking, she thought that Wen Chi cared about what those people said, so she comforted Wen Chi: "Master, the way is different, but we do not conspire, they are not the same as us, and we also There is no need to care about their thoughts, and the son is so smart, he will definitely be better than them at that time."

     Hearing this, Wen Chi burst into a smile, and then said sadly: "I hope we can see them less in the future."

    Ruofang said: "Maybe we will follow General Lin, General Lin should not come together with them."

    Wen Chi thought about it and thought that Ruofang had some truth.

    He is now the brother of General Lin in name, who does not follow General Lin?

    The man was wearing a Tsing Yi, and his appearance was ordinary.

    At first, when the man walked up to Wen Chi, Wen Chi thought it was the second shopkeeper who came to let him settle the bill, so he raised his head and showed an embarrassed smile: "Second brother, we have already settled the bill. "

    The person: "…"

    Wen Chi watched the man's face darken visibly, and was immediately confused.

    The man gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't you remember who I am?"

    Wen Chi scratched his head: "Aren't you the second shopkeeper?"

    The man was so angry that he almost vomited blood by Wen Chi's sincere answer, his face was black as if he had been stuck on the bottom of a pot for two hours, he said angrily: "My surname is Zhang, We only met yesterday!"

    Wen Chi was quietly pulled by Ruofang's cuff, and looked at the people at the adjacent table who looked at them with different expressions, and instantly understood the identity of this man surnamed Zhang.

    It was one of those people.

    "..." Wen Chi's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to look up at the angry man in front of him, he apologized uncomfortably, "Master Zhang, I'm really sorry, maybe it's I didn't notice you before..."

    In fact, I don't blame Wen Chi, the main reason is that this man does not like to talk, and his appearance is not outstanding, so it is easy to be ignored.

    Even Ruofang couldn't recognize him in time just now.

    Just waiting for Wen Chi to finish saying these words, the man's ugly face didn't ease much, he took a few deep breaths before barely suppressing the anger that had swelled up in his heart, and then said: "We heard it earlier. General Lin is brave and good at fighting, and has made a lot of contributions, but he rarely hears about Mr. Wen's deeds, and I don't know how Mr. Wen persuaded General Lin to make General Lin willing to bring his younger brother out to suffer."

    Just listening to the beginning, Wen Chi could hear the temptation in the mouth.

    He was speechless.

    If he really shouldn't be able to escape, even if he doesn't take the initiative to provoke those people, those people will not necessarily keep a distance from him.

    Wen Chi was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course I persuaded with my mouth."

    The corner of the man's mouth twitched twice: "What do we mean, General Lin agreed to bring you out so easily?"

    Wen Chi said: "Naturally it was with the consent of King Xuan."

    The man said, "King Xuan promised General Lin so easily to bring you out?"

    Wen Chi said: "Naturally, it has also been approved by the emperor."

    The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise: "You mean...the emperor authorized you to come to Jinzhou with King Xuan?"

    "How do I know the idea of ​​being a prince?" Wen Chi raised his head and smiled at the man, "Why don't you ask the emperor for me, Mr. Zhang?"

    The man realized that he was surrounded by Wen Chi, his face turned blue with anger, and his body couldn't stop shaking. He was about to open his mouth to speak, but he saw that he was ready. Wen Chi took Ruofang's hand, stood up, and quickly slipped out of the inn.

    Wen Chi and Ruofang ran back to the carriage.

    Ruo Fang was so frightened by the expression of the man just now that her face turned pale, she kept patting her chest, and finally regained her breath, she looked at Wen, who was also running out of breath, with worry. pool.

    "Young Master, if we tease Master Zhang like that, will they report to King Xuan?"

    Wen Chi said: "They dare not."

    Ruofang was confused.

    Wen Chi exhaled, and then explained: "They dared to face me with a few sneer words behind General Lin's back. Don't let one go."

    Ruo Fang was amused by Wen Chi's remarks.

    After the episode just now, Wen Chi did not dare to get off the carriage easily, he did not let Ruofang get off the carriage, but called two close guards back to the inn to help him stay behind carried back to the carriage.

    After a night of rectification, the whole team has a lot of energy, so they set off to continue their journey.

    As the destination gets closer, there are more and more pedestrians on the main road, some walking, some driving horse-drawn carts or ox carts, and there are also street vendors on both sides of the road.

    This scene is much more lively than the previous barren mountains.

    Wen Chi tied the curtain in front of the car window into a knot, leaned against the car window and looked out.

    Not long after, they came to the gate of Jinju City.

    The entire team slowly stopped.

    The entire team did not move forward until the leader and the gatekeeper in front communicated.

    Wenchi thought that the inside of Jinzhou City would be more lively than the outside, but it was not the case. There were not many vendors and pedestrians on the street, and even the restaurants and shops on both sides were full of depression and deserted atmosphere.

    If the capital city is prosperous and lively, then this Jinzhou city is dilapidated and outdated.

    What surprised Wen Chi was that along the way, he saw more beggars than pedestrians. Those beggars were in rags, lying on the side of the road in different postures, and even hugging woman with child.

    Xu is that Wen Chi's team was too conspicuous, those beggars looked at them eagerly, and then I don't know who started, the beggars rushed to surround them, crying and shouting To complain about grievances while blocking the road.

    The team had to stop again.

    Wen Chi put down the curtain, and clearly heard the noise outside and the scolding of the guards, almost exploded.

    A long time passed before the team moved forward very slowly.

    When the team stopped for the third time, a guard ran to the window and told Wen Chi that they had reached their destination.

    Wen Chi got off the carriage, only to find that they came to the residence of the prefect of Jinzhou. He and General Lin were arranged to live here. The courtyard where he lived was next to General Lin's courtyard.

    The prefect of Jinzhou, surnamed Zhou Mingfang, is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is thin. I don't know if it is because of his work, which makes him always frown and sigh.

    Zhou Zhifu's mansion is far from what Wenchi imagined, not as good as half of Wen's mansion, and even the courtyard arranged for Wenchi is far less than the one where Wenchi lived in Wen's mansion before.

    Coming here, Wen Chi's mood also became quite heavy.

    He knew that the disaster in Jinzhou was serious for a long time, but he never thought that the disaster in Jinzhou would be so serious.

    For the first three days, Wen Chi didn't receive any notice, so he honestly stayed in the courtyard for three days.

    It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Wen Chi was told by the servants in the house to go to the hall after lunch.

    So Wen Chi set off half an hour early, he came to the hall alone, only to see seven or eight people sitting scattered in the hall, his eyes looked around the hall , and finally fixed on Hanako hide.

    He is not familiar with other people, and among these people he also knows Hanakozo.

    He hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and walked towards Hanakozo.

    Hanako has her back to him, admiring a painting hanging on the wall.

    "Playboy." Wen Chi greeted with a smile, "You came so early."

    The next moment, Wen Chi clearly felt that Hanako's back had changed from relaxation to tension.
