I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother - Chapter 55
Jun Huailang did not expect that Jun Xiaowu would take him to an inn outside the city.
The post house is located outside the north gate of Chang’an. It has been built for some years. The three-storey building, the wooden structure has been worn and mottled.
Therefore, the car stopped at the gate of the post house, and it merged into the lively scene in an instant.
“What are you doing here?” Jun Huailang got out of the car and was stunned by the scene in front of him. He stopped at the door and asked in confusion.
Surrounded by ordinary people in coarse clothes, chatting and laughing loudly. There are merchants drinking horses and mules by the roadside, and porters loading and unloading goods. People come and go, making a lot of noise.
Although he is not a young man who stays behind all the time and doesn’t eat the fireworks of the world, he has never been to such a place where the market is strong.
Jun Xiaowu was like a duck to water, and pushed him in with a smile.
Jun Xiaowu led him up to the second floor, and found a seat by the window to sit down.
The sunset outside the window shone in dimly, which is quite ancient.
“Second guests, what would you like?” The little two in the store stepped forward and poured tea for the two of them.
“Make a few more dishes that you are good at, and more rights should be rewarded with money.”
Speaking, he put a piece of silver on the table.
Jun Huailang looked at Jun Xiaowu.
These years, this kid has learned a little bit like a soldier in the military camp. At this moment, here, with his feet up, shouting for wine and meat, how can he seem to have the slightest demeanor of a nobleman?
He knocked on the table and said with a faint smile: “What does it look like if you don’t put your legs down.”
Jun Xiaowu smiled and put away his legs.
“You brought me out today just to drink here?” Jun Huailang asked.
Jun Xiaowu put his elbows on the table, leaned in and smiled: “Isn’t this a treat for you!”
Then, he said as a matter of course: “I don’t think you are very happy during this time, do you think you are reluctant to leave home?”
Jun Huailang was taken aback.
He didn’t feel that he was in a bad mood during this time, but when Jun Xiaowu said this, he couldn’t help but think of Xue Yan.
I really missed a thank you. When he was in the palace, he left without saying goodbye, but now that he left quietly like this, he always felt that it was not appropriate, and he couldn’t help but feel a little stuck in his heart.
He looked down at the rough tea on the table, and after a while said softly, “No, I just didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to an old friend.”
When Jun Xiaowu heard the words, he didn’t hear anything, but he raised his legs as he should, and said, “Why don’t you have a chance, why don’t you invite him for a drink?”
If it is an old friend next to me, it will be easy, but this old friend is an old friend in the palace.
Jun Huailang shook his head with a light smile: “But it’s not easy.”
Jun Xiaowu seemed to understand, so he lengthened his voice.
While speaking, Xiao Er had already brought rice wine and beef to the table. Jun Huailang simply changed the subject and asked, “How did you find this store?”
Jun Xiaowu was immediately distracted, and he smiled: “When I went to Yumenguan, I was reluctant to go home, and I regretted it when I left the city. But I thought that my father would not let me practice martial arts, and in a fit of rage, I randomly found a post house on the side of the road, drank a large bowl of yellow wine, threw the bowl and left.”
Jun Huailang burst out laughing.
“How old were you then, twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, came here to drink?”
Jun Xiaowu didn’t care at all, picked up a piece of beef and threw it into the mouth: “So what? Fight with your uncle and never come back.”
Jun Huailang was so amused by him that he supported the table and laughed.
“But you’re back, and you’ve given your father a little bit of slack.” He said with a smile.
Jun Xiaowu grimaced when he heard the words: “After all, the sand at the border is not delicious. After staying for a long time, I still want to go home.”
Speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and touched Jun Huailang’s.
Jun Huailang touched him a cup, raised his head and drank the yellow wine.
The rice wine outside the city is completely different from the wine he usually drinks. He was used to drinking wine with a delicate and clear taste, but he had never had such a hot, throat-burning drink. Jun Huailang’s eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily after drinking a cup.
Jun Xiaowu frowned when he saw him, patted the table and smiled: “Is it very strong? I only took a sip and tears came down.”
However, after that, a mellow sweetness spread in his mouth, which attracted Jun Huailang’s admiration: “But it’s a good wine.”
j At this moment, Jun Xiaowu patted his arm and asked him to look out.
“Brother, look there.” he said.
Jun Huailang looked out of the window, and saw a piece of white wrapped in silver outside the quaint window edge.
Different from the eaves and pavilions seen in the palace, the outside is a flat and vast wilderness, and you can see the horizon at a glance. In the distance, there are continuous hills and peaks.
Jun Xiaowu smiled proudly: “Brother, isn’t it good-looking? I was sitting here when I left. After drinking that bowl of wine, I just glanced outside and saw this The vast world. Immediately I can no longer bear it, I just want to go out to Chang’an and see what the distance is like.”
Jun Huailang looked straight out the window.
The white snow on the plains is connected to the blue sky, and a long and narrow khaki-yellow commercial road spreads all the way to the north. It was already dark, and there were very few merchants traveling, but many people came from afar, and traveled to Chang’an from a distance.
It is a rare sight in the city.
Jun Huailang couldn’t help but think of another person.
Xue Yan.
A year ago, he was also on this road, walking alone, from Yan County in the extreme north to Chang’an, right?
With this thought, Jun Huailang felt a little absurd.
What’s the matter, Xue Yan, Xue Yan, have you been with him for a long time, do you have to think of him?
At this moment, Jun Xiaowu suddenly made a “huh”.
“Why are there still officers and soldiers here?” He looked downstairs, surprised.
When Jun Huailang heard the words, he also looked down.
Sure enough, a team of officers and soldiers riding fast horses, with a hundred and ten people, quickly surrounded the post house. This group of officers and soldiers were obviously well-trained. As they walked all the way, they could only hear the sound of neat horse hooves and the sound of knives and guns colliding.
The group of merchants and pawns at the door were all driven into the inn like mules and horses, and none of them were allowed to come out.
Slowly behind it is a carriage, surrounded by a few guarding soldiers.
The carriage was not in a hurry, it drove all the way calmly, and slowly stopped at the door of the inn.
One of the soldiers opened the curtain and said a few words inside. It was dark inside the carriage, and it was impossible to see who was sitting in it from upstairs.
Then the soldier gave a respectful salute and loudly ordered: “Search!”
The group of officers and soldiers set off immediately, guarded the doors and windows, and went in to search.
“…Looks like someone from the Ministry of Punishment.” Jun Huailang frowned for a while and said.
Jun Xiaowu Nahan: “What are you searching for here, is there a fugitive?”
Jun Huailang didn’t know, just shook his head.
Jun Xiaowu crooked by the window, looking bored and lively. He suddenly remembered something, smiled and said to Jun Huailang, “Brother, have you heard? The Fifth Highness in the aunt’s palace entered the court at the beginning of this year, and it was the Ministry of Punishment who was arranged by the emperor.”
Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment: “Entering the court…to the punishment department?”
He didn’t even know.
Jun Xiaowu said: “Yeah, I heard about it when I went out to play with someone a few days ago. I heard that the emperor suddenly used him very much, and said that he handled the case in the Department of Penalties well, He actually found a vacancy for him directly in the Punishment Department… Mother, not to mention that he is only 16 years old, doesn’t he still have two emperor brothers? Why does the emperor suddenly favor him so much…”
The second prince has never been able to have the Sacred Heart. The emperor only said that he should study for two more years. Jun Huailang knows this. The fourth prince was originally outstanding among princes, but when it was time to enter the dynasty this year, it was only natural that it was put on hold because of an accident with his biological mother.
When the prince entered the dynasty, he would naturally not be involved in the affairs of the dynasty and China at the beginning, and he would follow the officials to practice and learn.
But even so, it is clear at a glance who the emperor prefers and who he values.
Isn’t the Qing Ping Emperor not at all afraid of the so-called evil star coming into the world?
Jun Huailang just felt a little magical.
He still remembers when Xue Yan first came to prominence in his previous life, when he was in the Jiangnan rebellion in his previous life, when he had no generals in the court and sent him south to pacify the rebellion.
It’s so much worse now…
While the two were chatting, the officers and soldiers had already searched the building. Both of them were young masters in brocade clothes, and they were let go without being questioned.
After a while, several people were escorted out of the guest room on the third floor.
He was led by a young man dressed in commoner clothes. Although his clothes were simple, he was full of extravagance. Behind him were two young women, one of whom was older, holding two young sons in his hand.
It’s a big family.
“This…how did the Ministry of Punishment capture a group of women and children?” Jun Xiaowu was surprised, and stretched his neck to look.
Jun Huailang tapped the table and said, “Don’t be right or wrong.”
Jun Xiaowu responded, but was still curious.
They sat far away from the stairs, and when the group went downstairs, they could see nothing.
Jun Xiaowu stretched his head and looked out the window again.
Jun Huailang had never been so curious as him, so he drank tea by himself, waiting for those people to **** them away. But the people were escorted down, but there was still silence below, and there was no sound of officers and soldiers retreating.
Jun Huailang casually glanced out the window.
Then, he saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted by the soldiers, and a footstool was placed in front of the carriage.
The one sitting in the car slowly got out of the car.
He is tall and straight, tall and tall, without a crown, and his long hair is tied in a gold belt.
He was wearing a heavy black brocade cloak.
As soon as he stopped in front of the carriage, a soldier stepped forward and bowed to invite him into the building.
The person who got off the carriage turned out to be Xue Yan.
