Chapter Thirty-Eight
Innstations are not restaurants and tea shops. They are used by most people who are on the road, especially those who walk far away. Those who walk far away must have cars and horses.
Previously, the postmaster said that there was no place to live, and there was a lot of people, and where were the horses?
Liu Chunyang also reacted, threw the leaves down and looked around, and said, "When I entered the door, there were a lot of cars in the front yard... Where are the horses?"
The two were talking, and someone came over panting, holding a wooden barrel in his hand, with a look of horror and anger, calling out to Young Master Qingzi... This is the candidate who came to feed the horses with them. Pang An, 18 years old this year, is a master of calligraphy and painting. He is well-known and has great achievements in calligraphy and painting. Of course, his family has also made great efforts.
"Didn't you go to get water?" Liu Chunyang said, seeing the wooden barrel he was holding was empty.
Pang An stared at him and said anxiously: "Don't fetch water anymore. I just saw a hall..... What do you guess is inside?"
Xue Qing and Liu Chunyang said: "Horse."
Pang An stared and said, "Did you see it too?"
Liu Chunyang pointed at the stable and said, "You can guess it if you can't see it." He said, "Let's tell me what's going on?"
Pang An said with a oh, "I went to the water well to fetch water. When I walked the wrong way, I heard the horses neighing and searching. I saw more than a dozen horses in a hall. The tables and chairs in the hall have not been removed, and there are also bunks inside, which are obviously for entertaining people..."
Liu Chunyang jumped off the stone and said angrily: "This postmaster actually regards me as bad as a beast. I will tell the gentleman that he will be punished."
Xue Qing raised his hand and pressed his shoulder and said, "This must not be the Yicheng's idea... and don't make trouble."
The postmaster was the head of the post station, who wasn't he? Liu Chunyang glared at him and was about to speak, but Pang An had already spoken, "Yeah, Master Qingzi, do you know again? Didn't you really watch over there at that time?"
It was really not the idea of this postmaster? Liu Chunyang glared at Xue Qing. Of course he knew that Xue Qing had not gone there to see and was always with him. How could he know?......This monster.
Xue Qing said: "I really didn't see it, and I can guess it. This postmaster has no grudges and no grudges with us, especially Mr. Qingxia. How could he treat us deliberately? As the postmaster, he is to welcome the business of sending off and will not offend people easily, let alone the way to persecute people like this must be a coercion and helpless act... Say, what else have you seen?"
Pang Andao: "See the man who coerces the postmaster."
...
The afterglow of the setting sun covered the earth, and the candidates who were guarding tables and chairs outside the station for a while also came to an end. While Lin Xiucai was drinking tea, he looked at the three teenagers walking back and said, "Why are you so slow? Young people are too procrastinating in doing things."
It is said to be a rotation, but in fact it is just a rotation of young people like these. For example, Lin Xiucai is naturally not required to have age and fame. Only young people need experience, but adults don’t need it.
Liu Chunyang snorted, how could the Liu family members be disliked by others?
Xue Qing smiled at Lin Xiucai and said, "Senior Lin cares about us and is worried that we will have a cold meal."
A postman who was cleaning up on the side heard it and immediately smiled, "Why, we watched it, the lord told everyone to eat and drink well... The food of the three young masters was still hot on the stove." While calling people, the hot food was indeed served soon.
Xue Qing stood up to thank him. Liu Chunyang was reluctant, but when he saw that he was like this, he had to stand up. Although he didn't expect these young men to be polite, he was still very happy to see the postman... This is the real scholar in our Great Zhou Dynasty, unlike those barbarians who are just learning.
The postmen left with people, and the other candidates were exhausted. The people at the postmen laid tents and went to rest after they had enough wine and meals. Xue Qing and the other two sat down to have a meal and had a meal. The light and dark figures were faintly mixed under dusk.
Xue Qing said: "I'm right, the Yicheng was helpless and felt guilty towards us, so he made everyone take care of themselves so politely." Otherwise, he would not have been so careful to count whether everyone was present or not, and not allowed anyone to have a cold meal.
Liu Chunyang said: "If you really feel guilty, you shouldn't do this."
Pang An frowned and a little afraid: "I don't know who that young man was, but he actually asked the Yicheng to do such a bold thing." The horses lived in the hall, while the people lived in the wild. If the Yicheng was discovered, he would definitely be questioned. It would be unreasonable.
Xue Qing said: "There must be a reason to be fearless, so I can't tell you about this matter with you." Seeing Liu Chunyang sitting opposite him and Pang An sitting beside him, the two young men asked in the dusk, she smiled, leaned forward, and whispered, "Everyone knows that this matter will definitely start. The official secretary will definitely not dare to offend that person, and he will definitely not take the blame by himself. At that time, he will break up and make trouble with us, and we will suffer the loss... I am sure that the identity of that person must be very powerful."
Pang An looked depressed. He was also a child of a large family. He walked sideways in Chang'an City. Now he is not even as good as a horse when he goes out... It's really hard to walk, and said, "I was so panicked at that time. I didn't look at it for a while, at least I found out the identity of that person... I should know where to eat if I suffer."
Liu Chunyang said, "What's the difficulty?" He whispered into the post station, "That person is inside."
Is this asking Pang An to ask? Pang An blushed slightly, but he didn't dare to ask, just ask... Xue Qing tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Don't mess around, be cautious when going out, and do not hit people with smiles. The Yicheng has tried his best to give us face. Why bother him? The gentleman's style should not be like this."
Pang An sighed and felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he was really guilty in a foreign land. Looking at this boy who was a few years younger than him, the child was more afraid of trouble. He dared to lead the students to cause trouble and block the gate of the imperial envoy of the court, but now he left Chang'an City and is obedient. He thought about it this way, and nodded and answered, picked up the tea soup and drank it all.
Liu Chunyang, who was sitting opposite, looked at Xue Qing with a strange expression. Xue Qing noticed that he looked at him, and Liu Chunyang hurriedly picked up the tea soup and covered it up and drank it all.
...
As night fell, summer insects whispered. The candidates in Chang'an City in several tents outside the station were already asleep. Liu Chunyang suddenly woke up inexplicably and looked to the side subconsciously, and his hair stood up... Xue Qing disappeared.
The curtain was pulled open, and there was only a figure in the darkness.
Liu Chunyang was about to scream when he lost his voice.
"What are you doing?" Guo Zi'an's voice came.
Liu Chunyang pressed his hand on his chest and almost suffocated to death, saying, "Where is him?"
Guo Zian said in a muffled voice: "It's convenient to go..." and added, "I probably don't eat well, and my stomach is uncomfortable..." After fumbled and seemed to have taken something, "You can keep here." After that, he left.
The tent fell into darkness, and Liu Chunyang pinched his collar and widened his eyes. It was convenient. Why should I keep this place well? What does it mean to keep this place well...
...
The backyard in the inn was still lighted, as quiet as the daytime, and there was no patrolling guard... because it was just that the guards were not seen.
Xue Qing held a close contact behind a tree and stopped breathing for a moment. From the corner of his eyes, he accurately watched the cold light flashing on the undulating corners of the room. It was one or several crossbowmen lurking.
The defense is so tight that it shows that the identity is indeed extraordinary, but it is obvious that it is not friendly to target them on purpose. For unfriendly people, it is better to know yourself and your enemy. It is better not to ask the postmaster about the identity of these people, but she can inquire about it herself.
Xue Qing flashed through the trees and rose and fell for a few times and soon arrived in front of a hall... Before entering here, the guards were densely packed, proving that the man was here. He stood under the eaves of the corridor and there was no guard. The lights were on in the hall and the windows were open in summer. It was seen that several people were walking around, and fragrant wind was coming.
"... Actually, I don't quite understand. Why do this work?" A young man's voice came, with a little hesitation and confusion. "...Why should those candidates sleep in the open? How hard it is. Everyone is going to take the gentleman exam, so we should help each other with friendly help."
Xue Qing looked over and saw a figure turning around. Under the lamp, Junxiu looked exactly the boy described by Pang An. A maid walked beside him, covering her mouth and laughing.
"…Young Master, Qi Niang didn't say that, because they also participated in the gentleman's test, they are our opponents, and they can't be merciful to their opponents."
