Compared with the inland of central Shu, in March in the north, it is still cold and frozen, and the wind is howling. The sky is covered with goose feather-like snowflakes, which do not stop for a long time, and the white and crystal snowflakes are spread on the northern land, showing the silver everywhere and the praise is boundless.

Even the rushing Yellow River was too cold to form ice slag, and there was a lot of snow on the ice slag, so the boats in all parts of the Yellow River ferry stopped ferrying and temporarily closed their business.

There are brave people who cross the river, because they are in a hurry to cross the Yellow River, they once tried to cross the river on foot on the ice slag. Unfortunately, after not taking three or five steps, the ice slag on the surface of the river was not thick enough to withstand gravity, and finally fell under the ice, drowned under the surging Yellow River, and became one of the thousands of water ghosts.

Since the Yellow River is impassable, those who want to cross the river have to stop on the banks of the Yellow River, wait for the ice and snow to melt, and wait for the ships to move freely

Fenglingdu is only three miles away from the bank of the Yellow River.

Fenglingdu was originally a sparsely populated small earthen city, often a resting place for merchants or passers-by who crossed the river, and over time, this place gradually flourished.

Because Tucheng is simple and only relies on the Yellow River, the transportation is not accessible in all directions, and there is no permanent population, the imperial court did not set up an official office yamen in Fenglingdu.

However, it is precisely because of this that without the collection of taxes by the yamen, there are all walks of life in Fenglingdu, from inns and wine shops to vegetable stalls and butchers.

After decades of replacement, Fenglingdu has gradually become a place for merchants and tourists to cross the river and spend the night, and it has also become a place where swordsmen and bandits and scoundrels are rampant, and it is a three-regardless zone in the strict sense.

The largest inn on Fenglingdu is the Fengling Inn located in the center of Fenglingdu, and it seems that this inn has existed since Fenglingdu was populated.

So far, the Fengling Inn has been in business for decades, and the innkeeper Gu San has also taken root in Fenglingdu for decades, from the original young Gu San to the bad old man Gu San today, but the people of Fenglingdu still call him Gu Sanye.

Because Gu Sanye has been operating the Fengling Inn for decades, he has been safe and sound for decades, and he has stood tall in the Fengling Crossing, so his prestige is very high.

According to rumors, Gu Sanye and the swordsmen and bandits in the Fenglingdu area are quite friendly, so they have never been a scoundrel in the inn, and I have never heard of a bandit and swordsman who have made trouble in the Fengling Inn.

Therefore, Fengling Inn is often the first choice for business travelers and tourists to rest and stay overnight.

Because of this, Fengling Inn is often overcrowded and business is booming.

Recently, the weather in the north has been suddenly cold, and the snow is wanton, making the Yellow River impassable, and the business of the Fengling Inn is full again.

At this time, it was dusk and twilight, and it was dinner time, and the lobby of the Fengling Inn was already full, and the tables and tables were full of guests.

Fenglingdu belongs to the area of Guanzhong, so the food is different from the mainland of Shuzhong, a large plate of braised beef, a large plate of lamb shank, a large plate of white flour buns, and altar spirits, which can be seen everywhere on each table.

Different from the delicacy of Shuzhong dishes, Guanzhong dishes have a more bold and atmospheric atmosphere.

The whole lobby was extremely noisy, and everywhere was the sound of clinking bowls, as well as the sound of chattering, mixed with wanton laughter and scolding from time to time.

This situation can only be described in four words: Guanzhong High Roller.

But even so, there is still a table of guests who are different from everyone in the lobby, a table of guests located in the small corner of the west of the lobby, two men and one woman, eat slowly and methodically, drink small cups, and speak in a low voice, for fear of disturbing others.

Among the two men, one has a beautiful face, is about twenty years old, wearing a gray and white robe, and his expression is quite leisurely. As for the other man, he was dressed in a gray placket, with a handsome face, and a large gold-wire ring knife on his shoulder, like a person who was a follower of the courtyard.

As for the rest of the woman, although she was facing the sky, her expression was extremely charming and moving, and she was slowly and methodically breaking the white-faced bun and swallowing it lightly.

These two men and one woman are the three Guo Ye, Zhao Jiu, and Chou Zhenniang, who went to Chang'an from Shuzhong and temporarily stayed at the Fengling Inn because the Yellow River was impassable.

Guo Ye looked at Zhao Jiuchou and listened to the noisy shouting, frowned from time to time, couldn't help but put down the cup in his hand, and asked, "Jiuchou, what's wrong?" Not feeling well? ”

Zhao Jiu said scandalously, shook his head and said: "The body is very good, but it is too noisy here, and I am not used to it." It's okay, it's okay......."

Zhen Niang on the side gently put the white-flour bun in her hand on the plate, frowned lightly, and sighed: "I don't know when the ice and snow of the Yellow River will melt, and when will the ships be able to pass?" If it continues to be delayed, I am afraid that the date for the big officials to report to Guozijian will be missed. ”

Zhao Jiuchou listened, and Chong Guo Ye echoed: "Yes, my lord, what Zhen Niang said is very true. Otherwise, let's think of other methods, we don't necessarily have to cross the Yellow River to enter Chang'an, right? ”

Guo Ye said: "Let's all go to the bank of the Yellow River, and then use other methods to enter Chang'an, how much time will it be wasted?" The gains outweigh the losses, don't bother with that, be late if you're late. Besides, instead of turning back and leaving the Yellow River and spending a lot of time looking for other routes, it is better to stay in Fenglingdu for a few more days and wait for the snow to melt. Fenglingdu is quite a taste of China, hehe, it is an interesting place. ”

Zhen Niang stopped talking, lowered her head and stretched out her little white hand to pick up the white bread on the plate, and continued to pull it up.

Zhao Jiuchou wanted to persuade him a few more words, but suddenly a loud shout interrupted his words......

"Hey, gentlemen, have you heard? A hundred miles away from our Fengling crossing, several state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River have had big problems. ”

I don't know who is in the hall A thunder on the ground attracted everyone's attention, and the lobby, which was noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Jiuchou was also startled by this abrupt shout, and his face suddenly became a little angry, wanting to stand up and reprimand the uninvited guest.

Who knew that Guo Ye held his arm, only to see Guo Ye shake his head lightly, and then said in a low voice: "I am not familiar with life, don't make trouble." Let's listen to him, what happened to several state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. ”

Zhao Jiuchou heard Guo Ye say this, so he had to give up, picked up a glass of wine on the table and poured it into his mouth to show his anger.

At this time, someone in the hall pointed out the name of the person who shouted, and shouted: "It turned out to be the third master Gu, what new things did your old man bring to us today?" ”

With the name of the person who shouted, a sturdy old man on the counter suddenly became the focus of attention in the lobby, and dozens of eyes all converged on Gu Sanye's body.

Guo Ye secretly winked at Zhao Jiuchou, and said softly: "Fortunately, you didn't blow up the thorn, it turned out to be Gu San, the shopkeeper of Fenglingdu." In the past few days, you and I have stayed at the Fengling Inn, and I have heard a lot of rumors about him, hehe, it seems that the origin is not small! ”

Zhao Jiuchou turned his head and glanced at Gu Sanye on the counter, and snorted: "Others are afraid of him, I, Zhao Jiuchou, am not used to him, unless he wants to try whether our old Zhao's big knife is fast or not, hum!" ”

Guo Ye immediately stopped: "Come on, let's just pass through Fenglingdu, and we can't make trouble." Let's listen to him first, I'm curious about what happened in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. ”

Obviously, after the gossip in Guo Industry's heart, it was blazing again.

The eyes of all the guest officials in the hall were focused on Gu Sanye's body, which was quite a bit of a starry moon.

Gu Sanye seemed to enjoy this feeling of being taken seriously, and shouted at the running hall in front of the counter and said, "Mule, go, pour a bowl of Shanxi old vinegar for the third master to the back kitchen to drink a few sips, and the third master will take this one." ”

The second child in the running hall answered and quickly ran to the direction of the back kitchen.

Guo Ye was secretly happy in his heart, grandma's, this Gu San Ye is still pretending, but he is also quite different. Others like to drink a sip of wine to moisten their throats when they speak, but he poured it well and drank the old vinegar directly.

Dare to be affectionate, this ancient third master is still from Shanxi.

Soon, the second junior of the running hall came to Gu Sanye with a bowl of aged vinegar and walked steadily.

Gu Sanye took two sips of Chen vinegar and sighed with enjoyment: "Ah...... Gotta do it! ”

Then he put aside the bowl of vinegar, ran to the counter like an old monkey, sat on the counter with his legs crossed, rolled up his sleeves and said to everyone: "Do you know what happened to several state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River?" Hey, say it and scare you guys! ”

Speaking of which, he deliberately paused and sold a pass, and kept silent.

All of a sudden, everyone was appetized by Gu Sanye, including Guo Ye.

However, he did not rush to ask the bad old man, for he knew that his own guests would ask.

Sure enough, one of the guests sitting hurriedly shouted: "My third master, you always like to sell guanzi, hurry up and tell me, what happened downstream?" ”

"Hey......

Gu Sanye sat cross-legged, showed a triumphant smile, stretched out his head like an old turtle sticking out of his shell, deliberately lowered his voice, and said:

"You know what? The lower reaches of the Yellow River are now dead, a lot of ordinary people are dead, that guy, it's really corpses all over the field, tsk, that's really a miserable! ”

Airplanes~~~

This news immediately shocked all the guests in the hall, including Guo Ye.

However, Guo Ye was shocked and shocked, but he thought more......

Pestilence?

Famine?
