Chapter Seventy-One: Never Rest
After a night without saying anything, Huang Wuji found an inn that looked good everywhere and rested for the night. In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning, Huang Wuji got up and set off to the carriage and horse shop.
When Huang Wuji came to the carriage and horse shop, the blood stains in front of the carriage and horse shop had been washed clean by the water on the ground, and the personnel of the carriage and horse shop were also putting tools on the horses and seemed to be preparing.
From afar, Huang Wuji saw the hunchbacked old man commanding a group of people there.
Huang Wuji strolled towards the hunchbacked old man. The hunchbacked old man turned around at this time and happened to see Huang Wuji, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Why don't you report to the official!" waited for Huang Wuji to walk in and asked directly. The hunchbacked old man smiled, shook his hand and said: "My carriage and horse shop has always been black and white, if you don't say anything about yesterday, no one will know, and the duty of the carriage and horse shop is to keep the guests secret!"
Huang Wuji didn't believe the hunchbacked old man's words. Although I don't know why the other party did it, it seems that there is no intention at the moment.
"My car is ready!" Huang Wuji didn't want to get entangled with the hunchbacked old man on the same topic, and asked about the incident of last night.
"The car is ready, but it's not you, you don't think that you can hire a car to Baiyun Fortress for a hundred miles of silver!"
"There are others!" Huang Wuji frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I'll hire one by myself, no matter how much it costs!"
"No, this time they are all our old customers, and the recent business of the carriage and horse shop is too busy to spare other vehicles, so I can only grieve you!" The hunchbacked old man shook his head and vetoed Huang Wuji's proposal.
"Forget it, I'll go find another car and horse dealer!" Huang Wuji doesn't like to be with others, because the danger is too high, and he finally has an instinctive resistance to people or things he doesn't know, probably because of the emperor's own character.
The hunchbacked old man smiled, and his voice suddenly raised a lot: "Boy, although I don't know why you went to Baiyun Fortress, but I am the only one in the entire Nine Border City, and I am afraid it is impossible for you to find other car dealers!"
Naked threat, Huang Wuji didn't speak, pondered for a while or turned around and prepared to walk out, the hunchbacked old man continued behind him: "Boy, do you want to hire someone to buy a horse at will, it's useless for you to go to Baiyun Fortress, all the grooms in Nine Border City are my chariot and horse shop, it's useless for you to find it, without my consent, no one in Nine Side City dares to pull you!"
"You're threatening me!" Huang Wuji turned his head violently, and a cold light shot at the hunchbacked old man in his eyes.
Huang Wuji's domineering intent was too strong, which surprised the hunchbacked old man, but years of training had made his heart like a rock, and his face had not changed at all, and he was still smiling.
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just giving you a piece of advice!"
"There are a few people in total!" Huang Wuji saw the performance of the hunchbacked old man, and also knew that the other party had experienced a lot of wind and rain, so in order to avoid killing, he had to endure it, not to mention that he couldn't see through this old guy.
The hunchbacked old man held up a finger, and Huang Wuji was stunned and asked, "There is only one person!"
"Yes, there is only one person, how about it!" The hunchbacked old man was very satisfied with Huang Wuji's expression at this time. "Who is it!" Huang Wuji wanted to ask about the situation of the person in the same car as himself.
"You don't need to know, the purpose of my carriage and horse shop is to keep the confidentiality of the guests, and the other party does not know your situation!" the hunchbacked old man refused Huang Wuji's request.
"Whew!" Huang Wuji took a deep breath, then spit it out, looked at the hunchbacked old man and asked, "When will you leave!".
"Immediately, when that person comes, you can go!" The hunchbacked old man saw Huang Wuji succumb to a smug smile on his face. Huang Wuji looked at the hunchbacked old man's face and wanted to slap it and smash it directly, but in order not to cause trouble again, he still endured it and saw what the waiting person was like.
Huang Wuji, who was a little angry, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, quietly waiting for his strange companion.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and I saw a woman in a purple dress with a veil walking in with two maids walking in, Huang Wuji's heart moved, and he looked at the hunchbacked old man as if to ask, this is his own person in the car.
"It's coming!" the hunchbacked old man said very softly to the purple gauze woman, without the tough and treacherous attitude and tone towards Huang Wuji at all.
"Grandpa Fei, I've worried you this time!" The purple gauze woman's voice was as gentle as water and as pleasant as a nightingale, looking at the graceful figure of the willow's slender waist, she didn't have to think about it, she must be a big beauty.
"Zilan, let me introduce you to the person who is in the same car with you this time!" the hunchbacked old man pointed his finger at Huang Wuji and said indifferently.
The two little maids standing in the back screamed when they saw Huang Wuji's appearance, jumped to the front and said, "Grandpa Fei, how can you let my young lady and me sit in the same car!"
"Xiaolan, don't be presumptuous, don't retreat!" Zilan was slightly angry and scolded the maid Xiaolan. The hunchbacked old man waved his hand to show that it was okay, pointed to Huang Wuji and explained: "Zilan, I can't help it this time, you also know that the rules of the carriage and horse shop can't refuse guests!"
Zilan nodded, obviously knowing this rule, and glanced at Huang Wuji a few more times, and found that this little boy who didn't seem to fight was so handsome, just looking at his palms, which were more slender and white than a woman, it could be seen that he was not the child of ordinary people or wealthy merchants at all.
There is no doubt that Zilan is greater than the emperor.
Zilan walked up to Huang Wuji, and a body fragrance like hanging flowers entered his nose and listened: "Little brother, what's your name!"
"You don't need to know!" Huang Wuji was not polite because Zilan was a woman, and his tone was still so cold. The two little maids on the side were dissatisfied, and pointed to Huang Wuji's nose and said, "Oh, little ghost, you are too presumptuous, my young lady asks you!"
"Presumptuous, the two little maidservants dare to interject!" A sharp light in Huang Wuji's eyes shot directly at the two little maids, and the little maids felt cold and took a few steps back.
Zilan suddenly stood in front of the two little maids and looked at Huang Wuji, a pair of beautiful eyes wrinkled lightly and said, "Is this son too much, they are still young and unintentional!"
"Only this once, there is no next time, you are so self-sufficient!" Huang Wuji gave Zilan a face, but his cold tone still made the two little maids shrink next to each other.
When Zilan saw that Huang Wuji stopped talking, she turned her head to look at the hunchbacked old man and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Fei, I really can't say it, Zilan is a little worried!"
The hunchbacked old man shook his head and said, "You know the rules of the carriage and horse trade, I can't break it, but I can tell you a little, no problem!"
"Since what Grandpa Fei said, then Zilan has nothing to say!" Zilan seemed to be very familiar with the hunchbacked old man.
Zilan stopped talking, and the courtyard returned to tranquility, only the sound of Ma Ming and the guys walking, and suddenly the hunchbacked old man shouted: "Boy, your car is ready, do you want to leave now!"
"Ready!" Huang Wuji stood up from the stone bench and looked in the direction of the hunchbacked old man. A very ordinary two-wheeled carriage, with a large box behind it covered by a blue coarse cloth canvas, it seemed that it would be fine to seat a dozen people.
The carriage was drawn by two horses, and two coachmen sat in front of it, apparently alternating in turn.
Huang Wuji nodded and didn't speak, he got into the carriage directly, sat with his eyes closed, and didn't say anything. Then, Zilan also got into the carriage, and the two little maids behind put things in the car with big bags and small bags, and they could smell some pastries.
After a while for the two little maids to come up, the carriage moved. Two oily and slippery jujube horses took elegant small square steps, steadily pulling the carriage, driving through the busy street, the carriage "Gela" "Gra" sounded, slowly, only to hear the sound outside getting closer and closer.
There was a noisy sound of people in the carriage, and Huang Wuji knew that he had left the courtyard and came to the street, and he suddenly became secretly vigilant in his heart, he made such a big deal yesterday, and he didn't believe that Yang Yong didn't make a little move.
Huang Wuji lifted the corner of the carriage and looked at the outside environment, and found that the carriage was almost at the city gate. From afar, a long line could be seen waiting for the guards' raid.
Huang Wuji put it on the curtain, and the spiritual power of his whole body was secretly mobilized, as long as there was a slight mistake, he immediately forcibly broke out. In a quarter of an hour, it was already Huang Wuji's turn.
Huang Wuji sat in the car with an indifferent look on his face, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, only to hear a voice outside: "Stop, Lord Taishou has an order, everyone who goes out of the city must be checked!"
The coachman of the carriage was not an ordinary person, and he was not afraid at all when he looked at the city gate guard, and said calmly: "Huifeng carriage and horse shop should also be checked!"
As he spoke, a sign suddenly appeared on the side of the carriage, and the guards at the city gate saw that the sign's face changed greatly, and shouted to the people around him: "Get out of the way, let the carriage out of the city first!"
The conversation between the coachman and the city gate guard clearly reached Huang Wuji's ears. Huang Wuji's heart moved, and he thought to himself, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to find this Huifeng car and horse dealership.
Squinted his eyes and looked at Zilan, who was reading quietly, and his heart suddenly sudden, as if he had a bad premonition, as if he had fallen for the hunchbacked old man.
"This young lady, what is the matter with you going to Baiyun Fortress!" Huang Wuji automatically chatted, hoping to find out something from Zilan's mouth.
"Hehe, I thought you were dumb!" The two little maids on the side seemed to have forgotten Huang Wuji's words, and Zilan didn't say anything to answer first.
Huang Wuji's fierce eyes glared at the two little maids, and the two little maids seemed to remember something, and hurriedly hid behind their own young lady. At this time, Zilan raised her head from the sea of books, looked at Huang Wuji and said, "I won't go to Baiyun Fortress, I'm going to Zilin City!"
"You are from Zilin City, the Zi family!" Huang Wuji heard Zilan's introduction and knew that this road would not be stable.
