Chapter 48: The rivers and lakes are sinister

The meal time at Tiejianmen was quite early, and Chen Yi finished a breakfast here at only eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

After a few people had enough food and drink, Bai Shifeng suggested that they set off to Hangzhou City immediately while it was cool in the morning. They could arrive at noon and avoid the pain of the heat.

Of course Chen Yi had no objection. He didn't even know which direction he was heading in Hangzhou City.

However, from Bai Shifeng's tone, the Iron Sword Gate should be not far from Hangzhou City. After all, it can be reached at noon in ancient times, and no matter how far it is, it is not far away.

"Brother Chen, it is said that it is difficult to move without money when you go out. This is a thousand taels of silver bills and fifty taels of silver. You can keep it, I think it's enough to go to Hangzhou City this time," Bai Shifeng handed Chen Yi a small wallet and said.

Only then did Chen Yi realize that he did not have the money from this world and hesitated: "Isn't this suitable?"

"It's okay, they all withdraw from the money left for Brother Chen when I sold the cup last time. Brother Chen took it. If it's not enough, I'll withdraw some more," Bai Shifeng said with a smile.

Wang Jiang also said to the side: "Yes, yes, Brother Chen is from a wealthy family, so it doesn't matter if we sleep in the open, but I think if Brother Chen loses the cards because of money, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

Chen Yi was so amused that he had to accept it and let it go after it was a little entangled. He thought to himself that he could only pay the bill himself.

To be honest, two months ago, the Tiejian Gate was so poor that it was almost taken away by someone. Now, it has left a huge sum of ten thousand taels of silver for itself without hesitation. This kind of courage is really something that ordinary people can have.

Next, the group came to the gate of Tiejianmen Mountain. Chen Yi saw that at some point they had prepared three horses here. One of them was particularly eye-catching, half a head taller than the other two, dark and shiny, and extremely strong muscles.

Joining this, is he going to ride a horse? Chen Yi was slightly stunned when he realized this.

"Brother Chen, this dark horse is specially prepared for you. After an agreement with you that day, I went to Hangzhou City to buy it. I came from the Western Regions. I was only two years old. It was a war horse. I had trained it and was particularly docile. I spent about 200 taels of silver when I bought it. I wonder if you are satisfied?" Bai Shifeng pointed at the dark horse and said.

Chen Yi was not clear about the prices during this period, but looking at Wang Jiang's expression next to him, he could also guess that the horse might be more like a better "sports car" during this period.

People who run around the world often ask for something like a person who is just a furious horse. Who doesn’t like it?

"No, you are too polite, are you? I'm so embarrassed," Chen Yi said a little embarrassedly.

Bai Shifeng laughed and said, "We are just the kind of brothers who are proud of us. If we were ourselves, we wouldn't be willing to buy such a good horse. Let's say that the two horses next to us are less than forty taels."

"The problem is, I can't ride a horse," Chen Yi spread his hands and said in a tangled manner.

This made Wang Jiang and Bai Shifeng unexpectedly, and even Liu Shancha, who was sending them beside him, looked at Chen Yi in shock.

Chen Yi really can't ride a horse. He has come across this before.

Wang Jiang habitually scratched his head and said, "Brother Chen, riding a horse is actually very simple. You have gained some horse stance during this period. The lower plate is steady. In addition, this horse has been specially trained and is particularly docile. You can learn it quickly. At worst, we can just walk slowly."

What else can I do? This is all I can do. Although I don’t know how far I go to Hangzhou City, Chen Yi thought that if he walked, he would not be exhausted.

Saying goodbye to Liu Shancha, Chen Yi rode on the dark horse under the guidance of Bai Shifeng and others. Not to mention being so gentle, he did not lose his temper at all because of the riding of Chen Yi, a stranger.

After going down the mountain from Xiao Qingfeng Iron Sword Gate, he walked about one or two thousand meters of path. Then Chen Yi and the others came to an official road, saying it was an official road, but the road conditions were not good in fact. The loess road surface was in the summer, and the wind was filled with dust.

I have to say that Chen Yi has good practice during this period of time, and his agility and balance are also good. After a period of adaptation, he has become completely familiar with the feeling of riding a horse. On a whim, he simply rode his horse and ran wildly.

The dark horse doesn't seem to like to move forward gently, and it's particularly excited to run.

Bai Shifeng and Wang Jiang looked at each other behind him, Bai Shifeng shook his head and smiled, "Brother Chen sometimes gives me the feeling of being a peer, but sometimes he looks like a child who has not grown up. I really don't know which one is the real him."

"Brother Chen is gone, let's catch up." Wang Jiang didn't think so much and immediately urged, "Whoever is a boy who doesn't love horses? Although Wang Jiang is not as good as Chen Yi, this is one of his few opportunities to ride a horse, and he still has the benefit of Chen Yi."

Shiraishi nodded and said, "Let's go, go..."

After riding a horse and the initial freshness and excitement passed, Chen Yi felt sore in less than two hours. It was really sore!

At first he thought it was fun, but later he realized that the inner side of his legs was unknowingly sore, and he didn't know if it was bald.

Later, he didn't dare to sit on the saddle, so he could only stand in the stirrups, like a squatting horse, with a little bump. When his thigh hit the saddle, not only did his legs hurt inside, but his butt hurt, but also so much...

"Brother Chen, don't worry. It's like this when riding a horse at the beginning. Just get used to it. If you feel really uncomfortable, use your internal strength to relieve the uncomfortable areas." Bai Shifeng, who was following the horse riding next to him, reminded.

Chen Yi smiled and said nothing. In fact, he had already started to use his internal strength to moisten the uncomfortable areas, otherwise he would not be able to ride on the horse.

After moving forward for an hour, Chen Yi kept using his internal strength to relieve discomfort. At this moment, he felt a little weak afterwards, so he had to suggest: "The sun is getting higher and higher, why don't we find a place to take a rest and eat something first?"

Chen Yi practiced the Quanzhen Heart Method, which can be said to be the basic internal skills of Taoism. Theoretically, this set of mental methods can be practiced to a certain extent, so that both walking, sitting and lying down can be used to increase internal energy. But the same sentence is that internal energy is transformed from one's own essence, and it is not like absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, if a person who practices this internal skill really uses the exercises all the time, it may become a human being. Of course, if the energy he consumes is enough, he can do it like that...

Hearing Chen Yi’s door, Bai Shifeng looked ahead for a moment and nodded and said, “Okay, this place is less than twenty miles away from Hangzhou City. There is a Shibalipu Inn in front of us. We will rest and eat something there. Then it will not be too late to enter the city, anyway, it’s still early.”

After hearing what he said, Chen Yi roughly found out that the Iron Sword Gate was more than a hundred miles away from Hangzhou City, nodded and couldn't wait to say, "Okay, just follow what Brother Bai said."

The so-called Shibalipu Inn is just a two-story wooden building next to the official road, providing travelers with convenience to rest before entering Hangzhou City.

Chen Yi even suspected that this was a black shop, not a village in front and behind.

"Just called Shibalipu Inn. I thought I could meet Zhanggui Tong..." Chen Yi murmured as he looked at the inn.

Just as Chen Yi was thinking about something messy, he heard the classic line in his ears: "Are you a few guests good at playing the top or staying in a hotel?"

The person who spoke was a waiter in a small hat in green clothes. He looked not old last year and seemed to be a little afraid because Chen Yi and the others were carrying weapons.

"Go to the tip, give us a pot of herbal tea, and then a few signature side dishes and a jar of wine. By the way, take our horses down and feed them forever," Bai Shifeng stepped forward and said.

The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and led the horse and said, "Okay, please come from the three guests, so let me leave the others."

"Brother Bai, isn't it good to drink at noon? After all, you can't drive when you drink," Chen Yi smiled and said, turning over and dismounting.

Bai Shifeng didn't understand and said in surprise: "Don't you drive if you drink?"

"Haha, it's okay, let's go in," Chen Yi smiled and said, "If people don't understand this, then they can't play it anymore. By the way, there shouldn't be any traffic police in this ancient society to check for drunk driving, right?

Several people entered the inn and sat by the window under the arrangement of the child. Chen Yi looked at it for a while and found that the inn was doing very well, with the attendance rate at noon at about 50%.

Chen Yi has never been to the world. This is the first time he has truly come into contact with ancient society. While looking around, he judges in his heart what kind of dresses he is. He looks like a scholar, the one who runs in business, and the one who runs in the world, and he doesn't know if it's right...

"Ahem, Brother Chen, it may be wrong for you to look at the people around you unscrupulously," Bai Shifeng coughed on the side and said in a low voice. He could already feel a few dissatisfied gazes looking at this side.

Chen Yi didn't understand these things. He just felt that everything was fresh. After he reminded him, he withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm not right. I haven't come out for a long time. Thank you Brother Bai for your reminder."

Nodding, Bai Shifeng did not worry about this anymore, but frowned and said, "Brother Chen, we seem to be targeted. To be more precise, you are targeted!"

"I'm being targeted? How can I see it?" Chen Yi said in surprise. Should I be so unlucky? Who would have provoked whom? If I just stared at me just because I took a few more glances, would it be? This is too eccentric...

Looking around from the corner of his eyes, Bai Shifeng said in a deep voice: "I think it's because Brother Chen, your outfit is too eye-catching. You are young, but your outfit looks extraordinary at first glance, like a child holding gold across the market, the world is dangerous, and it's not impossible to be targeted!"

This is in line with Chen Yi's concept of the world. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "What should I do next?"
