After the experience of being robbed, Xie Xin no longer wanted to spend the night in the ancient city. Thinking that it was still early, he had a simple meal in the ancient city, bought some dry food and water, and set off directly.
After going back and forth like this, Xie Xin arrived at Pingyu, the administrative office of Runan County, on the fifth day.
Pingyu, which had not been ravaged by the Yellow Turbans, is now so prosperous.
A group of defenders passed by in the distance. Xie Xin could tell from their equipment and spirit that their life should be pretty good, but they definitely received a lot of training.
Perhaps because he was used to being watched by outsiders, he did not feel disgusted with Xie Xin's attention. He just told Xie Xin that he could not ride a horse in the city and asked him to get off the horse immediately.
After taking the horse and looking around, Xie Xin remembered that he was here to find someone, not to go shopping.
But the biggest question now is, where will Xie Chong be?
Thinking that searching blindly was not an option, Xie Xin planned to find a hotel to stay in and then search slowly.
Ten minutes later, Xie Xin looked at the sign of the inn in front of him in a daze.
"Yelai Inn, why is it Yuelai Inn again?!" Xie Xin couldn't help but really doubt whether the inn was really a chain store?
Suddenly, I discovered that there was a small signboard "Pingyu Branch" next to the inn.
Seeing these four words, Xie Xin was certain that Yuelai Inn was indeed the largest chain store in the whole of China!
"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel or have a meal?" I just entered the hotel and was greeted cordially by the child who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'll stay in a good guest room for five days. But first I'll take my horse to feed some hay and water, and have a table of better food and wine." Xie Xin handed over the prepared twelve taels of silver.
"Sir, if you have more than enough to eat for ten taels, you can eat and get a good guest room. In this season..." The waiter did not finish the sentence, but the meaning of the thank you letter was clear.
"Is this enough?" Xie Xin took the silver back and handed over three taels of gold.
During this period of time, through chatting with Gongsun Sheng and others, Xie Xin had a rough understanding of the purchasing power of gold and silver in this era.
At the same time, he also discovered that the so-called one gold dollar was actually ten taels of gold.
In this era, copper coins were still the most used, but for some large-scale transactions, merchants were also accustomed to exchanging gold and silver to pay for them.
Three taels of gold was enough for a tenant to live safely for a year.
"Too much, too much! Sir, in fact, you only need fifteen taels of silver!" The waiter did not dare to look down on others at this moment. Three taels of gold is worth thirty taels of silver.
"I'll keep it in your store. If I want any other food or drinks, you can deduct it from it. But just remember to register the detailed accounts." Xie Xin was also enjoying the feeling of pretending to be an uncle at this moment.
"Okay, I'll get it done right away!" Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately smiled and took the gold and went to the counter to register with the shopkeeper.
Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to instruct another waiter to take Xie Xin's horses to the stables behind for storage.
Xie Xin took advantage of the waiter's registration break to walk around a bit and look at the customers in the store.
The last few days have been a fair in Pingyu City, so there will be many merchants coming to stay. As Xie Xin saw, almost all of the people eating in the lobby were merchants, with only a few people who looked like knights.
In fact, the so-called knights these days are not that chivalrous. Some of them can still be regarded as "xia", but more knights are closer to the underworld. Apart from selling drugs, they do everything else.
Sure enough, Xie Xin just found a table and sat down under the waiter's warm greeting.
The moment he sat down, he felt five eyes behind him looking towards him.
Maybe he wasn't that sensitive before, but since he developed Qi Sense, his alertness and sensitivity have improved a lot unconsciously.
After the waiter brought a bottle of wine to Xie Xin, he went to the kitchen to urge the cook.
Xie Xin calmly poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
Authentic Dukang wine is also the best wine in this era.
Xie Xin tasted the water and wine in the glass and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
I was about to put down the wine glass, but accidentally clicked it, and the wine glass turned into vegetarian noodles.
"It seems that you have to slowly get used to my strength, otherwise you won't be able to survive this day." Xie Xin couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the powder on the table.
At the same time, I can’t help but sigh that the so-called power of the ten dragons and ten elephants in “Prajna Dragon and Elephant Skill” is indeed far beyond the scope of human beings.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, was the creator of this book a member of the martial arts world? Or a figure in the world of immortality?!
The waiter immediately noticed the problem with Xie Xin's table and immediately came over and politely changed his cup.
Just looking at the packed powder, he couldn't help but feel cold.
As a waiter, how could he know how strong this cup is? It was crushed into powder by the customer's two fingers as if nothing had happened. This means how strong this customer must be!
There were many people who had the same idea as him. At least after Xie Xin crushed the wine glass, he felt that there were four fewer eyes looking at him.
It is unclear whether they understood Xie Xin's behavior as a deterrent to them.
It's just that Xie Xin doesn't quite understand why there is still a look on him.
Turning around, he saw that this was not a member of the Xie family village. He could not remember the name of the person who was besieging him with Xie Shen at the entrance of the village, but he remembered his appearance.
Who caused him to be severely injured by a white crane's wings? The way he fell to the ground at that time is still fresh in the memory of Xie Xin!
Suddenly, Xie Xin suddenly understood something.
Xie Shen’s followers are all here, is Xie Chong still far away?!
Looking back, I found that the Xie family had already run out of the inn.
"Where to run!" Xie Xin roared violently, but unknowingly used the formula of "Lion's Roar Kung Fu".
Fortunately, Xie Xin is already proficient in mastering it. Otherwise, if he used it in this room, he would probably bleed like a river.
The roaring sound waves spread forward and hit the Xie family member who had just escaped from the inn door, causing him to fly out.
Looking at it in slow motion, it's spinning continuously and blood is spurting out from the corner of its mouth.
Overall, it's quite enjoyable.
Xie Xin flew out, picked him up, and escorted him to the horse pen behind the inn.
Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Where is Xie Chong?!"
"If you kill me, I won't say anything! Ah..." I wanted to be loyal, but who knew that in the next second his right foot had been crushed into minced meat.
"If you don't tell me, next time it will be your left foot, then your left and right legs, and finally it's up to you to guess where it is!" Xie Xin said evilly.
Seeing the other party glance between his legs, the Xie family members couldn't help but turn pale.
He had already expected that if he continued to speak harshly, the key parts of his male body would be crushed into minced meat by brute force. The whole process would definitely make him want to die, but he just didn't want to live anymore!
"I said! I said it's not okay..." Seeing that Xie Xin's hand had moved towards his left foot, the Xie family members couldn't even harden up at this moment.
"The patriarch, he moved into the prefect's mansion yesterday and has never come back!" Seeing that Xie Xin had stopped moving, the Xie family members immediately told what they knew.
"Then, thank you for the information, you can fly!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Fly? No..." The Xie family members didn't understand it at first, but he understood it the next moment.
Xie Xin grabbed his legs, spun him around, and threw him towards the sky.
With the blessing of the power of ten dragons and ten elephants, a man weighing 120 pounds still successfully flew into the sky.
And Xie Xin was sure that the landing point must be outside the city. But where it would be, he didn't go back to check in detail, and he didn't have time to check whether the Xie family member would die after landing.
"If you die, there shouldn't be any pain at such a fast speed; if you don't die, you are lucky!" Xie Xin found an excuse for his behavior.
When he was about to return to the lobby, he found a waiter carrying a bucket of water looking at him in panic.
"Sir..." The waiter in the shop was very frightened at the moment, secretly thinking that he would not be silenced because of this?
"You didn't see anything, right?" Xie Xin walked over and put ten taels of silver in his hand.
"The weather is beautiful today! Hey, I have to feed the horses water!" The waiter ran away immediately.
Seeing how knowledgeable he was, Xie Xin nodded slightly and returned directly to the lobby to continue his dinner.
People who haven't left are very curious about what he went out to do just now.
But after all, they couldn't be involved, so in line with the principle of doing more than doing less, I only occasionally looked up at the thank you letter, but said nothing or did anything.
After eating and drinking, Xie Xin returned to his guest room.
The excellent guest rooms are indeed very well equipped:
A screen and tub for bathing are essential; a spittoon, chamber pot and toilet are also the three treasures of the night; a table can be used for eating and drinking tea, and the hot water has been installed and can be consumed at any time.
The bed is also good, enough for three people to sleep side by side. The quilt is made of fine silk, and the pillow is a rare tangerine leaf pillow. Other items, such as mosquito nets and incense, are readily available.
What's even more rare is that there are ice cubes placed in the four corners of the room. This makes the temperature inside the room at least five or six degrees lower than the outside temperature.
Xie Xin has not bothered to find out more about the other services in the guest room.
Now that he knew that Xie Chong had entered the prefect's residence, he believed that the prefect would send troops soon.
I wanted to go there immediately, but seeing that it was still a little early outside, Xie Xin came to the bedside and started meditating.
Since reaching the sixth level of Qi training, it has become much more difficult. If you don't practice more frequently, you may not be able to advance to the foundation building stage for a long time.
After practicing for more than two hours, the sky was completely dark.
Xie Xin put on the masked black clothes he bought in advance in the ancient city and jumped out of the window.
Without Qinggong, he naturally couldn't fly over eaves and climb walls. He could only rely on his strong body to quickly read a few books on the quiet street while avoiding the soldiers who came out to patrol.
Xie Xin had already asked the waiter about the location of the Prefect's Mansion during dinner.
Although the location was not very accurate, it took him more than twenty minutes and countless useless detours in the city before he finally arrived at the back entrance of the Prefect's Mansion.
Seeing that everything was quiet, he smiled slightly, used his inner strength and jumped over the wall.
It's just that the landing position was a bit unlucky.
"Who?!" As soon as he landed, a servant discovered Xie Xin's traces.
