Hearing Knife King Yan's slightly angry tone, Old Liu and Qiu Niang hurried over to smooth things over.
Old Liu pulled the King of Hell to the side, then said to the King of Hell with a smile, "Brother, there's a saint here: Only a little girl and a little girl are hard to raise. Um, she's a woman, so don't bother with her. Also, Lady Qiu said just now that she's taken her as her younger sister. She's my sister-in-law, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her on the way here!"
When the King of Hell heard this, his expression turned much better. He suddenly thought of this and laughed: "Brother, you seem to be able to recognize your relative very quickly. Fine! I won't bother about her anymore just because she's your relative! "
She pulled Liu Ruyan to the side and whispered to her, "Sister, sister tell you, don't get angry with me on the way here. He's that kind of person, and he can do anything, and he values his face a lot. If you can't get along with him on this matter, then sister will advise you to quickly follow me to Ye City."
After Liu Yun heard what Qiu Niang said, he looked at the laughing King of Hell, who was talking to Old Liu, and curled his lips and said: "I will not quarrel with this kind of crude person, and elder sister just now you said on the carriage, he is actually a man of honor, but he has a bad temper, so I will talk less with him along the way!"
With Old Liu and Qiu Niang's interference, the tense atmosphere vanished in an instant. In the end, Old Liu gave his horse to Liu Ruyan while he rode in the carriage with Qiu Niang.
Previously, it had been Madam Qiu who was holding the carriage, but now Old Liu had taken her place and allowed her to rest for a while. Because Hu Quan had dozed off last night, he was still sleeping and did not care about the matters of the adults leaving.
Once Liu Ruyan had mounted the big horse, the group split up and left. Qiuniang and her group were on the way to Ye City, it would take them about two thousand miles to get from Changyang City to Ye City. It might take more than a month.
The King of Hell and Liu Ruyan had only gone to the Middle Guizhou County, which were hundreds of miles away. The two of them planned to dress up in the Middle Guizhou County before making any plans.
The two of them left early in the morning. The road was lively and refreshing in the autumn and the sun didn't scorch anyone's skin. They picked up the main road and walked along it carefreely. There were a lot of people passing by, so the two of them didn't stand out.
At noon, the two rested in a tea house by the official road. The owner of the tea house was a couple. The old man was about sixty years old and the woman was probably not much different from the old man.
Seeing that there was a guest, the old man welcomed him warmly. He said to the King of Hell, "Dear guest, do you want to be the guest or stay in the inn?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, the King of Hell looked at the tea house and asked doubtfully, "Can someone live here?"
Before the old man could say anything, the woman replied, "Customer, we have another store only ten miles away. My son and my daughter-in-law are in operation. If you want to stay here, we can give you directions!"
Hearing this, the King of Hell looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "There's no need to stay at a restaurant. This place should not be far from Central Guizhou. Hurry up and serve us some delicious food!" After we finish eating, we'll move on! "
Hearing Knife King Yan's words, the old man shook his head and laughed: "Esteemed customer, you do not know, right now, the city gates of Central Guizhou are only opened in the morning, if you were to go there, you would not be able to enter the city anymore! "I advise you to rest in my store for the night before leaving!"
Hearing this, Knife King Yan could not help but have some doubts. He had just gone to Central Guizhou once last month, and at that time, there was no opening door in Central Guizhou at all. He did not know what had happened.
Thinking of this, the King of Hell asked the old man, "Old man, you said that the city gates of Central Guizhou only open in the morning. When did this start?"
Upon hearing the Knife King Yan's question, the old man said, "This started five days ago. The Central Prefecture has a new county governor now, and he has three new officials. When he comes, he only opens the city gates in the morning. Once it's after noon, he immediately closes the city gates.
"There's really something wrong with this county governor. Why is he only opening the city gates in the morning?" After hearing the old man's words, before the King of Hell could even ask, Liu Ruyan answered directly.
Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, the old lady continued, "My lady, you might not know this, but the new county governor rarely closes the city gates at night. Thus, there are many martial artists and robbers who cause trouble at night, similar to Changyang City. The people are very grateful to the new county governor! "
After hearing that, Liu Ruyan nodded. She then asked, "Where did this new county governor come from? "Where was he an official?"
Just as Liu Ruyan asked this question, a few other people came into the tea house. They all looked like they were from the Shangguan family. When they saw them enter, the King of Hell signaled to Liu Ruyan with his eyes, telling her not to ask anymore!
When the old couple saw those officials, they also chose to avoid the question. The old man had already left to receive the guests, while the old lady stayed at the table with the King of Hell.
The old lady asked the King of Hell, "Sir, what else would you like to order?" The King of Hell looked at Liu Ruyan and said to the old woman, "Just ask her. She can order whatever she wants to eat. I'll order two dishes for her and a pot of liquor!"
The old woman turned her head and asked Liu Ruyan what she wanted, and Liu Ruyan immediately ordered a few dishes. When the old woman heard what Liu Ruyan said, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, I don't have any of the dishes you said, how about you order something else?"
When she heard that she didn't even have anything to order, Liu Ruyan felt a little depressed. She glanced at the Knife King's smiling yet not smiling expression, she knew that he must have intentionally wanted to see her make a fool of himself. He must have been to this kind of place before.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan glared at Knife King Yama. Then, she ordered Knife King Yama and said, "Elder, just give me two dishes according to his wishes. He'll pay for them later!"
