When they arrived at the gate of the city, Steward Li immediately trotted forward to hand in their official documents and guides, and bowed his head to apologize to the soldiers who had already lined up at the gate, "Our lady has been walking in the desert for more than ten days, and suddenly she saw A big city is a little excited, forgive me, forgive me."
The generals guarding the city gate looked through their documents and found that they were still on business, and their expressions improved a lot. Coupled with Li Guanshi's compliment, they reluctantly forgave their recklessness, waved the soldiers away, and then checked them official document and Lu Yinlai, "Are you going to leave the customs?"
"Yes, we are going to the Western Regions."
The general frowned, "It's not easy to go out of the customs now, it's a bit chaotic, you have to go to General Meng to get the documents if you want to leave the customs, if it's too dangerous, the general may not allow you to leave the customs."
When Bai Shan on the horse heard this, he couldn't help dismounting, "Then the merchants from the Western Regions from the east and the Central Plains merchants from the west can't enter and leave the customs?"
"You can go out," Pian Jiang looked up at him and said, "Private entry and exit are not prohibited."
"Then why can't you be an official?"
"Because if something happens to the officials outside the pass, we, General Meng, will have to send troops to rescue them."
Merchants entering and exiting the pass are looking for wealth and wealth, and they should have this awareness before making a decision. If the garrison at Yumen Pass encounters them, they will naturally rescue them, but if they cannot, they will not go to rescue them on purpose.
But officials are different, not to mention that there will be requests from the imperial court, even for the prestige of the Jin Dynasty and the friendship of colleagues, they have to send troops to rescue them when they receive news.
But the vast land outside, the marching distance is uncertain, and the cost is very high.
Therefore, for the safety of life and property, it is best not to leave the customs.
He turned over the paperwork, stamped it and returned it to them, "Go in."
Li Guanshi took it respectfully, and asked casually, "My lord, I don't know how to get to the post station in Shazhou City?"
Pianjiang looked him up and down, then turned his head to look at Bai Shan, saw the delicate dark pattern on his sleeve, and got up, "You want to stay at the inn?"
Bai Shan doesn't know what's wrong with this statement, they are on official business, so where do they live if they don't live in an inn
So nod.
Pianjiang pointed to the city and said, "Go inside, turn right at the third intersection, go down to the bottom, and there is a plaque on it."
After finishing speaking, Pianjiang smiled, showing two rows of teeth, and said, "If you don't want to stay in an inn, it's also good to stay in the inn next door."
It wasn't until Bai Shan and the others followed Pian Jiang's guidance to the end that they really understood what he meant.
The more than one hundred people in the audience were all shocked on the spot, and there was no sound for a while.
Man Bao was riding on the horse, looking up at the plaque of the post station. She might feel that the hat covered her view, so she pushed the hat up and blinked her eyes, but the post station in front of her still remained the same. The door was still patched with wooden strips, and the words on the plaque were a bit blurred. Looking in from the door, the entire inn had two floors, but... it looked gray and dilapidated.
Man Bao couldn't help swallowing, and the clerk who was sitting inside with a small bench saw that they were still not leaving, so he couldn't help standing up, walked to the door to look at them, and asked hesitantly: "Do the guests want to stay in the hotel? "
Everyone's eyes fell on him from top to bottom.
The man was startled, seeing more than a hundred people staring at him, he dodged back, then pointed to the inn next door and said: "If the guest officials want to stay in the inn, they can go to the inn diagonally opposite. The house is nice."
Bai Shan took a deep look at him and asked, "Can't people live in the station?"
The man struggled and said, "Yes, yes, but do you want to live?"
Man Bao said: "We are officials."
The job was instantly understood, and he pointed to the inn diagonally opposite and said: "Adults can live there, and all officials who come to stay in the inn will only be charged 20% off, and there will be free hot water and hot soup."
Man Bao emphasized: "It's free for us to live in the post."
Bai Erlang and the others also jumped out of the carriage, glanced around the station and sighed: "This station is comparable to those abandoned on the Liangzhou grassland."
Only those post stations are on the grassland, and the people in the post stations have been evacuated, so it can be so barren. This one is in the city of Shazhou.
Man Bao pursed his lips, and looked at the buddy seriously, "Where is your Yi Cheng?"
Although the man had been at the inn for several months, it was the first time he met someone who was coming to stay, especially when the other party brought so many people with him. The guards and soldiers looked full of evil spirits, and he was startled when he saw it. So there was no cover at all, pointing to the gate diagonally opposite where there were still people, almost crying, "Our post is on the opposite side."
Just finished speaking, the movement here has already attracted the attention of the other side. A clerk at the opposite inn has arranged for the new arrivals, and immediately trots out to greet the new arrivals. Said: "Do adults want to stay in the store? Our store is more spacious, why don't you go and have a look at our store?"
Man Bao and Bai Shanju gave him a condescending look, then passed him and glanced at the guy with a shrunken neck, snorted coldly and asked, "Where's your boss?"
The guy's smiling face froze, "Guest officials want to find our boss? Our boss is not here, so it's the same for you to tell us what you want."
Neither Bai Shan nor Man Bao spoke, and the scene froze for a moment.
Mr. Zhuang knocked on the carriage, and the two came back to their senses, immediately dismounted and walked back to wait outside the carriage, "Sir..."
Mr. Zhuang said: "Since you can't make up your mind, go to the post station. Put your luggage on the car and unload it when you have made up your mind. You can just take a look at the situation inside."
Bai Shan and Man Baoxin were sure, with their husband as their backer, they didn't feel that they were fighting against each other or causing trouble, so they just waved their hands, "Come on, let's go into the post."
The clerk of the inn opened his mouth slightly, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, and subconsciously said: "You, you can't go in..."
The soldier of Nie Canjun raised his eyebrows, raised his sword, and shouted: "Bold, how dare you disrespect your lord!"
The clerk was startled, and he held his hand away. Bai Shan glanced at him, and stretched out his hand to lead Man Bao in.
The postman at the side didn't dare to stop him, but he opened his mouth wide. Seeing their guards stepping forward to dismantle the threshold, he immediately came back to his senses and hurried to help dismantle it. After the carriages were brought into the courtyard, he realized that the carriages seemed to be going through the side door. into...
The guy scratched his head, and before he had time to think about these things, he hurriedly led Bai Shan and the others, but...
He himself didn't know where to lead people. There wasn't even a bedding in the house, but fortunately it was clean, but there was a musty smell. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long, long time.
Bai Shan stretched out his fingers to touch the table, and asked the cramped man, "Who cleans these rooms?"
He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, it's a small one."
Bai Shan nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little dog Ren Er."
Bai Shan couldn't help but smile, nodded after suppressing his smile, and said solemnly: "Good name."
The guy blushed with excitement.
