Chapter 307 Can't Bear It Anymore

Li Baolu hesitated for a moment, but she still didn't ask Chen Yuan to come over for a reunion. She liked the little girl Chen Zhu very much, but Chen Yuan...

Li Baolu lowered her eyes. If Chen Yuan really regarded Master as a "best friend", he would not have gone to Zhengjiabao's birthday banquet under the banner of supporting Master.

As a close friend, his best counterattack is to throw the invitation aside and try his best to contact his friends in the world to refuse to attend the birthday banquet.

He is backed by Master, but everyone knows his secret plan.

If it was Zhengjiabao's birthday banquet, he could be forgiven for not expecting it, but what about now?

Her master is here, why didn't he come up to meet him, but hid in a group of people who wanted to fish in troubled waters and watch the excitement?

Don't talk about being angry because you don't know each other, who hasn't seen you for eighteen years, doesn't contact you, and suddenly you don't immediately remember who the other person is, and such a fussy "friend"...

Li Baolu fished a lot of meat for Master sympathetically, looked at him distressedly and said: "Master, eat more, we don't want these bad things anymore, we will go on the road when we are full, and go to the inn early to rest."

Bai Yitang picked up the bowl silently, he didn't want to ask what kind of messy things his apprentice was thinking in such a short moment.

Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning Chen Yuan.

At this time, Chen Yuan's father and daughter who were at the back of the line were talking about Bai Yitang, Chen Zhu pouted and said, "Father, how long are we going to follow?"

Chen Yuan said with a cold face: "If you don't want to follow, you can go home. I told you to stay at home, but you sneaked to Kaifeng first and asked you to go back with your senior brother. How dare you run away halfway? Can't bear the hardship now?"

Chen Zhu's eyes turned red, she sniffed aggrievedly, and finally turned around and ran.

"Junior sister!" Ling Bi looked at her master and still chased after her.

Chen Zhu ran into the woods and hid behind the tree with tears streaming down her face. When she saw her senior sister coming over, she couldn't help but hugged her and cried, "Senior sister, do you think Daddy really loves me? In order not to let me follow The birthday banquet tied me up in the inn and didn’t allow me to eat breakfast, if you didn’t specially leave a slipknot for me, wouldn’t I be hungry all day?”

Ling Bi patted her on the back and said: "Master is also afraid that you will be affected after you go to the birthday banquet. You don't know, everyone is very angry. Fortunately, Bai Daxia didn't show up at that time, otherwise there must be a fight. Swords have no eyes, Master Of course I'll be tougher on you."

"Then did daddy send someone to look for me after I ran away?"

Ling Bi smiled and said, "Of course I did, Master is almost worried to death."

"You're lying," Chen Zhu burst into tears, crying uncontrollably, "Senior Brother told me, Daddy didn't look for me at all, if I hadn't gone back by myself, maybe he would have been There is no such thing as my daughter."

Ling Bi was silent.

"It's been like this since childhood. He only has martial arts in his heart, only Jianghu. How can he pretend to be me and my mother? But I thought he was a great hero before, and he valued love and righteousness, so I am very proud, even if he doesn't care much about me. It's nothing." Chen Zhu wiped away her tears, looked at the senior sister and said in a low voice: "But, but this time I came out with him, I don't think Daddy is like that."

Ling Bi's face changed slightly, she looked left and right, saw no one grabbed her hand and said: "Junior Sister!"

"Senior Sister, don't try to persuade me. I'm not a fool. Over the past half a month, I've met so many people and seen so many things in the world. I already know how to tell the good from the bad. Dad, he really does it for the sake of Hero Bai. Waiting for you to come to Zhengjiabao's birthday banquet?" Chen Zhu lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Huashan Xiang Feiyu, who is the best friend of Hero Bai, stopped talking when he came out of Zhengjiabao's birthday banquet. Whoever goes to Zhengjiabao Bao was his enemy, and he personally wrote letters to the various sects and famous sects, saving face to speak up for Bai Yitang. So this time not only no one from the major sects came, even few families under the sect came. , especially the Huashan faction, even the little family they are attached to dare not come to join in the fun."

"The people who came to this Zhengjiabao birthday banquet were all people from the middle class and below. It would be a joke if Bai Yitang didn't show up for this birthday banquet. No one dared to say that Bai Yitang was a coward and dared not attend the banquet. "Chen Zhu wanted to cry again, "And Bai Daxia has appeared, Dad is really close friends with him, shouldn't he go directly to him, why should he hide and follow behind?"

"That's because Master Bai didn't recognize Master, and Master was angry."

Chen Zhu shook his head, "No, Dad, he is guilty and afraid, afraid that he will come to the door and Bai Daxia will say that he doesn't know him. Otherwise, he is a good friend. He will not recognize him when he meets him. Although he will be sad, he won't mind too much. After all, he is eighteen Years no see, no contact..."

Ling Bi was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "So what do you want, Junior Sister?"

"I don't know," Chen Zhu said with a blank face, "How did my father become like this?"

Ling Bi opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end, Master didn't become like this, but just like this.

But for the junior sister who is not familiar with the world, this is indeed a big blow. Ling Bi doesn't want to provoke her anymore, so she can only accompany her and let her recover.

"I want to persuade father." After a while, Chen Zhu said hesitantly, "I don't want to be with Daxia Bai anymore. I want to go home with father."

"Master will not go back." Ling Bi stated.

Chen Zhu gritted her teeth slightly, "Let's persuade him!"

Ling Bi pursed her lips, looked at the stubborn junior sister, and finally fell silent, forget it, let the junior sister go, she will know how difficult it is after being rejected.

Why did Master follow Bai Yitang? Although he didn't say it clearly, Ling Bi could guess some of it.

The master probably wants to talk to Bai Yitang. Bai Yitang has joined the imperial court, so there must be a way in the imperial court.

Over the years, the Chen family has become more and more closely connected with the Xiangyang Yamen. Obviously, the master's goal has shifted from the vanity fair in the Jianghu to the court.

But Bai Yitang obviously didn't have the enthusiasm that the master thought. She didn't know what the master was thinking now, but she knew that he must be ashamed now, and Chen Zhu would annoy him if he mentioned these things to him.

But there are too many people here, no matter how annoyed her master is, she will just scold her and won't do anything, so it's good to let her junior sister learn some lessons, otherwise when will she grow up?

When the teachers and sisters returned to Chen Yuan, the convoy in front started to set off. Chen Zhu didn't speak immediately, but silently led his horse over and followed his father on the road.

After eating and drinking, Li Baolu was a little sleepy, and when she got in the car, she hugged a big pillow and wanted to sleep. Gu Jingyun opened the luggage, found the fox-fur cape and covered her body, and sat cross-legged next to her head. The bumps can hug people to prevent them from hitting the wall of the car.

Bai Yitang had already fallen asleep with his head propped up, this meal was too pleasant.

The three people in the car can sleep, and the guards driving the car and riding outside have to continue to face the cold wind. Fortunately, they ate hot venison soup just now. The temperature is dropping, but everyone feels much better than in the morning.

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian followed on horseback for a while, and finally got into Zhao Ning's carriage and did not move. Although riding a horse is comfortable, it is better to take a carriage in this weather.

Fortunately, Zhao Ning, a scholar, is not sour, and Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian, two people from the world, are not vulgar.

In order to get the best room, the chief guard made the convoy speed up in the second half, gradually leaving behind the quack warriors who were shivering in the cold wind. Chen Yuan, who was in the second half, saw this After a little thought, he finally understood, speeded up the horse and said: "Let's hurry up, we must arrive at the inn before sunset."

The chief guard led three guards to rush into the inn first, and slammed the door of the inn with a "bang bang". aside.

The head guard immediately stepped forward, quickly grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "Are you the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

"Very good, how many upper rooms and how many middle rooms does your inn have?"

"There are ten upper rooms, thirty middle rooms, and fifteen Datong shops, all of which are vacant!" The shopkeeper also reacted, and asked with a smile: "How many rooms do you want?"

"All the ten upper houses are needed, and ten more middle houses are needed to prepare good fodder for our horses and mules. Our convoy will arrive in a short time."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, this is a big business.

He immediately responded happily, and quickly registered. After receiving a piece of silver from the chief guard, he gave the voucher, and then yelled at the waiter loudly: "Quickly ask your mother to check the upper room in the backyard again, see If there is anything missing, fill it up quickly, let the kitchen boil hot water quickly, and then go to the stable to prepare the fodder."

He walked out of the counter himself, bent down and said with a smile: "Guest officer, let's go pick up people with you."

Going out and looking up, facing the billowing dust, after seeing the long line behind the dust, the shopkeeper opened his mouth wide and said, "Guest, guest officer, here, is it enough for so many people to live in only twenty rooms?"

"Except that the convoy in front belongs to me, the people behind me are not with me. Don't make a mistake."

The shopkeeper froze, his eyes widened and he looked carefully, only to find that there were guards on the left and right of the convoy behind, but the people following behind were some distance away from the carriage, obviously they were not part of the same group.

He felt happy, this business is too big, he will not worry about making money tonight.

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Guest officer, wait a moment, the little one is still busy, this..."

"Let's go, let's go." Bai Yitang waved his hand and said, "We can arrange it ourselves, and you don't need to lead us."

The shopkeeper happily ran back to the counter and waited, waiting for the people who lived in the store to come in and take out their money to register.

In such a cold day, there is only a town five miles down the road. If they don't want to travel in the dark, they can only stay in his inn.

This is also the reason why he makes so much money by opening an inn here. If you go out from Runing City and walk on this official road, you will probably not be able to catch up with Sutou. Staying in his inn is the best choice.

Chen Yuan accelerated his speed and arrived at the entrance of the inn almost at the same time as the carriage. He jumped off the horse and strode into the inn. He said to the shopkeeper, "Come to three upper rooms."

The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, the upper room is gone, only the middle room and the common shop, look..."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, then dropped a piece of silver and said, "Then come three middle rooms."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper flipped through the three middle house signs, took down the three keys, and handed them to him along with the certificates.

Chen Yuan put away his things, turned around slowly to look at the person who walked into the inn, and said with a sinking face: "Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for many years, is it true that I don't know old friends?"
