Chapter 67: Another new heroine?
The three of them were noisy until midnight.
He Yunxiao did not carry Xiaoxiao out in the end. Xiaoxiao didn't want to be seen by others, and He Yunxiao didn't want Xiaoxiao to be seen by others.
Finally reaching an agreement, the three of them went hand in hand to drink the antidote to the Soul-Eating Pill and then went to sleep.
Sleeping position is also a result of the agreement.
He Yunxiao slept in the middle, while Xiaoxiao and Nanzhu slept on each side.
Sharing a bed without being married is a taboo against etiquette, but in the face of Xiaoxiao's involution pressure, any taboo that blocks an intimate relationship is extremely powerless.
The reality facing Princess Nanzhu is: Xiaoxiao wants to hug her, will you follow? Xiaoxiao lies on the right side, will you follow? Xiaoxiao wants to get intimate with He Yunxiao, will you go along?
In the face of involution, every heroine has no right to refuse and must follow. If you don't follow, you may never be able to follow again.
He Yunxiao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he only brought two heroines with him this time. If he brought more beds, there wouldn't be enough space.
Princess Nanzhu was still young and fell asleep early holding He Yunxiao's arm.
Xiaoxiao waited until Meng Qingrou took a long breath and fell into a deep sleep, then turned over and lay on He Yunxiao's body.
"Xiaoxiao is hungry."
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "Then when I get up, I can find you something to eat?"
Xiaoxiao blushed, "You don't have to get up, Xiaoxiao will find food by herself."
She slowly lowered her head and groped for her "food" with the help of the dim moonlight.
One thing is that He Yunxiao is indeed greedy for Chu Xiaoxiao's body, but another thing is that He Yunxiao is not that greedy, at least not to that extent. However, Xiaoxiao had already put herself at He Yunxiao's mouth. If she didn't eat it, it would be unreasonable. It's a matter of dignity!
Take action when it's time to take action, and you must swallow the "meat" you can swallow.
The position of the head of the family is achieved through "fighting", not through negotiation.
…
Early the next morning, He Yunxiao and his party set out from Beiguan and headed for the border of Yan Kingdom.
However, their route did not go straight along the Qiyan Commercial Road in Beiguan. Instead, they left Beiguan and walked east, turned into Weiyan Commercial Road, and then pretended to be Weiguo vehicles and entered Jingtian City from Weiyan Commercial Road.
The Kingdom of Wei is located to the east of Yushanguan Pass. If we first clear the Wei Shang Road and then defend the Yan Shang Road to get to the Yan Kingdom, there will be too many detours. Arrive at Jubeiguan first, and then set off from Jubeiguan. It will be much faster if you join the Weiyan Commercial Road halfway.
During Qi Yan's lifetime of war, the business world of Weiguo immediately became popular.
Qi and Yan have many products that are complementary to each other. Take medicinal materials as an example. Many medicinal materials are specialties of Yan State and are not available in Qi State. Qi State does not have it, but what should the Qi people do if they want to use Yan State’s medicinal materials? You can only go to the neutral country of Weiguo to buy it at a high price.
Business routes may be temporarily blocked due to the war, but human needs will not be reduced due to the war. As a result, the two countries became poorer as they fought, while Wei became richer and richer.
However, Weiguo was pitifully small, only the size of a city. The army it supports is only enough to maintain law and order in its city, and cannot pose a threat to the two great kingdoms of Qi and Yan. If it has evil intentions, it will be time for Qi Yan to join forces to attack Weiguo. At that time, no matter how much money Wei Guo made, he would have to spit it out to settle the grievances of the great powers.
This is something that is tacitly understood by the top leaders of several countries.
Therefore, Weiguo is very honest. No matter how much money it makes, it will not expand its army. It will honestly act as a neutral ground between the two major countries.
Due to the war between Qi and Yan, He Yunxiao met almost no fellow travelers on the road from Yinjing to Beiguan. But the situation is very different on Weiyan Commercial Road. The carriages carrying goods are driving on Weiyan Commercial Road, which feels like a highway.
The Hexi green-skinned colt bought by Yin Jing was left behind in Beiguan, while He Yunxiao and others continued to move forward relying on the two captured Yan Army horses. The speed of the two horses is indeed a bit slow, but the road conditions on the Weiyan Commercial Road are much better. It is estimated that they can reach Jingtian City in two days.
Another prosperous aspect of Weiyan Business Road is that along the road, there will be wine tents for people to eat from time to time. Every half a day, you will come across a large restaurant. Food and accommodation are available, but there are not many rooms and they are expensive.
Most of the drivers are professional drivers, and they will choose to set up a tent or sleep in the wild.
Only a small number of young ladies will stay in this kind of restaurant when traveling.
He Yunxiao, who can live in a regular room, would definitely not choose to let the heroines sleep in the carriage, and he doesn't need to pay a few taels of money to stay in a hotel, which is more expensive. At nightfall, He Yunxiao, who had been traveling all day, asked Ma De to stop at the restaurant quickly.
The carriage and horses were left to the waiter of the restaurant, and the group went into the restaurant to eat.
There are many people on this road, and even though the restaurant's prices are high, the business is very good, especially at night when everyone can't rush. The business is so popular that there is a long queue outside the restaurant.
He Yunxiao roughly estimated the queue. With such a long queue, it would take at least half an hour before it was their turn to eat.
If it was in the previous life, there would be nothing to complain about because the restaurant was so busy and there was no queue. But this was ancient times, and He Yunxiao, who had been a dandy for a long time, had experience. In a normal restaurant, even if the downstairs is full, you can still open a room and have the waiter deliver food to the room. Not to mention there are "privileged reserved seats" and other good seats reserved for dudes.
This restaurant is not small, and there must be "reserved seats". We just have to see if we can get them.
He Yunxiao asked Xiaoxiao and Nanzhu to wait outside. He walked into the store and asked politely: "Shopkeeper, may I ask if there are any 'reserved seats'?"
The shopkeeper was nearly sixty years old and had seen countless people. He squinted at He Yunxiao: he looked extraordinary, but his clothes were ordinary and he had a lot of travel dust. He must be on his way in a hurry.
People who are in a hurry and suffer the consequences of traveling cannot afford to take the "reserved seats".
He didn't directly point it out to He Yunxiao, he just said: "Sir, we don't have 'reserved seats' in our store, please forgive me."
He Yunxiao didn't believe it at all, so he took out two hundred taels of silver notes and said, "Shopkeeper, Zhang is from a well-known family and can afford to eat. Don't worry."
Seeing the hesitation on the shopkeeper's face, He Yunxiao took the opportunity to test him and said: "Shopkeeper, I think your counter is good, the wood is high-quality, and the carpentry is good. How much did it cost in the first place?"
"This... this guest officer is really asking questions."
He Yunxiao understood. On his way here, the hotels he passed were different, but their overall styles were very similar, and they belonged to the same road. When I asked the shopkeeper again, he didn't know the furnishings in the shop. He must be a laborer who can make the decisions, but he is not the real owner of the restaurant.
He Yunxiao was also unambiguous. He flipped his hand and found that one of the two hundred taels of silver notes was missing, but the shopkeeper suddenly had an extra one hundred taels of silver notes in his belt. The remaining one hundred taels of silver notes were pressed on the table by He Yunxiao.
"Old sir, although one hundred taels of silver notes are not much, people who eat one hundred taels for a meal must not be very common, right? Now Qi Yan is fighting for the safety of Weiguo, but I heard that the house prices in Weiguo are not cheap. . You are not young anymore, you should think about the future, right?"
The old shopkeeper understood. He not only understood He Yunxiao's money, but also his methods. Not only can he use heart-breaking tactics, but he is also willing to give up money. This person will not be easy in the future.
With the intention of investing in the future, the old shopkeeper changed his appearance and said to He Yunxiao and Yan Shan: "Sir, there is no 'reserved seat' in the store, but there is a private room on the top floor that is only for my family. I don't know what the guest is. What’s the official opinion?”
He Yunxiao smiled and said: "I wonder if there is a 'bedroom only for my family', I want it too."
…
Not long after He Yunxiao entered the store, a carriage that could be described as "extremely luxurious" parked next to the restaurant. The horses used in this carriage are four extremely handsome white colts. The frame of the carriage is made of rare and expensive silver wood, with gold tassels and jade embellishments. The most terrifying thing is that the groom who uses this car also has a ninth-grade cultivation level.
After this carriage, two more carriages stopped behind it.
A total of eight people got off the car at the back, and the four in front were three men and one woman, all of whom were masters. The next four people are also ninth grade.
When the old shopkeeper who had just received He Yunxiao saw the car coming, he immediately crawled out from behind the hotel counter in a pissed off manner. He bent down with a strong hand and bowed with great respect. He said with a respectful expression: "The villain Liu Ji pays homage to the young master. !”
"Um."
It was a woman's voice, as sweet as a silver bell blown by the wind.
