"I dare to ask you the name of Master Chatou."
"Ah? What?"
"I dare to ask you the name of Master Chatou."
"Your words are serious. Those who respect your surname are not respected. I will arrest He Biao, the head of the No. 1 Post Guard in Bazhou."
"He Biao, what a good name."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, took Liu Zhengming's little hand and walked into the inn slowly.
When Liu Mingzhi and the others entered the inn, several guards approached them with strange expressions.
"Brother, the status of these three guests from the capital seems to be unusual."
"Yes, that's right. Whether it's the clothes or the aura, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. He might be a big shot in the capital!"
The oldest of the guards spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth and pointed to several carriages a dozen steps away.
"Xiao He, my uncle also feels that their identities are extraordinary, and they are not much different from the ladies who went in an hour ago.
Maybe even more noble
Judging from the aura of calmness and self-restraint in that brother's body, one can tell that he is a big shot who has been in a high position for a long time.
I feel that that brother is most likely an official in the imperial court, and at worst he must be a fifth-rank official in the imperial court."
A guard next to him who was about the same age as He Biao put down the teacup in his hand with a surprised look on his face.
"Uncle Ye, is it true or false?"
"Little bastard, your uncle and I eat more salt than you walk. I still have some good eyesight."
"Head, the man who is obviously a big shot just asked your name specifically. Do you think you will be taken seriously by the big shots from the capital?"
"I think so too, He Tou, if you become successful in the future, don't forget your brothers."
"Come on, come on, just have your tea honestly.
If our aunt had not been blocking He Tou from enlisting in the army.
Otherwise, with our Hetou's ability, we would probably have achieved the position of a sixth-grade general with our military exploits.
It doesn't matter if that person is a big shot, as long as my aunt doesn't speak."
The older guard didn't wait for the young man next to him to finish what he said, and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what are you talking nonsense about? Can't you stop your mouth after drinking tea?"
The poor man, He Biao, grinned a few times and reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds from the tray on the table.
"Uncle Ye, it's okay.
I am the only child in our Lao He family. It is normal for me to leave her side unlike me.
Drink tea, drink tea, in another hour it will be time to change shifts with Lao Lu and the others."
After entering the inn, Liu Mingzhi casually handed the horse rein in his hand to the younger brother next to him.
"The best fodder is served."
"Okay."
Liu Song followed behind, took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the younger brother.
"Good wine, good food, and good fodder will serve you, and the rest will be your silver reward."
"Okay, please come in."
When the younger brother called the rest of the companions and led the four good horses towards the manger, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and gestured to Liu Song.
"Willow Pine."
"Master."
"Give the young master the name of He Biaohe's head catcher and let me record it. Remember to remind me when you return to Beijing."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
As soon as Liu Mingzhi led Liu Zhengming into the lobby of the inn, tactful and surprising words rang out one after another in the hall.
"Husband?"
"Husband?"
"Husband!"
"Selena pays homage to daddy. May daddy be safe."
The other guests who were dining in the lobby subconsciously looked at Liu Mingzhi, with envy in their eyes.
Liu Mingzhi ignored the envious looks of a group of people in the hall and led Liu Zhengming to the window seat where the three princesses were.
"Selena, please forgive me."
"Thank you, daddy."
Liu Zhengming broke free from his father's hand and trotted away towards the third princess, Huang Lingyi, Xue Bizhu and the other sisters with an excited face.
"Aunt Yan, Aunt Rongrong, Aunt Lingyi..."
"Why."
"Zhengming, what's wrong with you?"
"Husband, what's going on? Why did you bring Zhengming's child?"
Liu Mingzhi put the riding crop in his hand behind his back, walked to the chairs next to the beauties and sat down.
"Let me eat something to fill my stomach first. I will explain this to you when we get to Miao territory."
"Liu Song, sit down and take your time to eat."
"yes."
"Young ladies, I'm sorry."
"Uncle Liu Song, you're welcome. Sit down quickly."
"Two distinguished guests, your fine wine and delicious food are here.
Um, this? This?”
Liu Song looked at the younger brother who looked a little stunned and immediately waved his hand.
"Let's put down the food and wine together."
"Yes, yes, my little one's eyesight was clumsy before. It's clumsy."
The second brother placed the food and wine on the tray one by one and then stepped back respectfully.
When the three princesses saw their husband who had already picked up the chopsticks, they each picked up a dish and put it on the plate in front of him.
"Husband, eat quickly."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at everyone while eating his food.
"Yan'er, how long have you been at the inn?"
"About an hour or so."
"It's been about an hour and you're eating now?"
"Husband, my sisters were so stinky and sweaty while rushing on the road. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took a shower in the upper room."
Liu Mingzhi swallowed the grilled lamb chops in his mouth and nodded clearly.
"So that's it. So, are you guys going to stay at the inn today, or are you going to set off on your way after the horses have rested?"
"Husband, my sisters have discussed it before. Once the horses are almost rested, we will set off on our journey immediately."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the drink and smoothed the food in his mouth, looked at the beauties and said softly: "Yan'er, Lingyi, if you sisters can't hold on, take a rest when you need to.
Don’t tire your body out just because you’re traveling.”
"Husband, don't worry, my sisters will take care of themselves."
"Hey, I won't say much else about my husband, just take care of your body.
