Chapter 1791 The Trip to the North, Hidden Worries!

.mhtx. Fenzhou, the county seat of Xihe County.

"Mr. Mo, how did you guys sleep last night? Are you almost resting?"

In the lobby on the first floor of the Penglai Inn, the best inn in the county, Li Tai asked Mo Chui while eating breakfast with Tie Dan and others.

This time, the academy dispatched a total of 32 killer project members. Most of them are students, and some of them are gentlemen from the physics department of the academy. In any case, the gentlemen of the academy are older than the students, and their life experience abroad is not enough. To be richer, so the students' meals and daily life along the way are all arranged by Mo Huai and other gentlemen!

"Haha! This inn is not bad. It's quite quiet at night. I just saw that everyone was in good spirits. I think you should have a good rest last night! After breakfast, we will leave. It's more than 100 away from Taiyuan Mansion. We will definitely not be able to make it today. We will stop at noon and rest, and strive to be able to settle in Qixian before it gets dark, start from Qixian tomorrow morning, and probably arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow evening!"

Mo Chui smiled and replied with a relaxed expression.

This time leading the teachers and students to the north, the "activity funds" given by the academy can be said to be quite sufficient. Before leaving, Yan Siru also specially explained to him that the teachers and students of the academy must eat well, drink and live well along the way. Don't worry about money, this is what Yan Siru means, and it is also what Li Zexuan means!

Because the thirty-two people in this group are all elite members of the Academy's killer project, and they are the "baby bumps" of the Academy. This time, the journey to the north is long, and the students are already working hard. Naturally, it is impossible for the Academy to be here. They suffered in terms of food and accommodation!

Therefore, on the way from Lantian County to Xihe County, Mo Chui took everyone from the academy to stay in the best inn and ate the most delicious food, in order to alleviate the suffering of the students from the traffic and horses on the road. !

"Well! Then bring some dry food and try to arrive in Qixian tonight!"

Li Tai nodded and decided.

Although he is a student and Mo Chui is a gentleman, he is the commander-in-chief of this northbound operation, and he should be the one who makes the final decision.

Moreover, Mo Chui also recognized Li Tai's talent in engineering, so along the way, he was not unhappy about Li Tai's overall situation and command and dispatch. Although he was born in a royal family, he was born with a certain commanding ability, but after all, he was young and not as rich as Mo Chui in terms of life experience. Often at this time, Mo Chui needed to come forward!

After the two agreed, Dugu Xin walked in from outside at this time, and whispered in Li Tai's ear: "His Royal Highness, the last general has ordered the scout team to clear the way first, and the rest of the army can start at any time, waiting for His Royal Highness to leave the city to meet!"

Although Mo Chui had packed the entire inn last night, and there were no other guests in the inn lobby at this time, Dugu Xin, who was used to staying in the army, had a strong sense of vigilance, so he still chose to use this way of speaking. The purpose is to avoid revealing the whereabouts of Li Tai and others!

This time, along with the teachers and students of the academy, there were also a thousand imperial imperial guards led by Dugu Xin and Dugu Feiying. Since the mission involved secrets, they did not disturb the local officials along the way. They encountered the county seat only from the academy. When people enter the city to stay in the inn, the thousand imperial troops are secretly stationed outside the city. Under normal circumstances, Dugu Xin will bring a few personal guards to protect Li Tai, while Dugu Feiying leads the army outside the city!

It's not that Li Tai, Mo Chui and others are discriminating, but the students and gentlemen of the academy, whose physical quality is definitely not as good as that of Duguxin, a soldier who has been in the army for many years. If they were allowed to sleep in tents outside the city like the Imperial Army, it is estimated that most of the people in the academy would have fallen before they reached Taiyuan!

"Well! Are the materials in the academy safe?"

Li Tai nodded and asked softly.

The main purpose of the trip to the north was to build a telegraph relay station. When we left Lantian County, there were three carriages in the academy’s carriage team, which were loaded with the machines, parts and other materials needed to build the telegraph relay station. Naturally, such important things could not be brought. Entering the city and bringing them into the inn, in case of thieves, they will be blind after walking so far, so the materials of the academy have been guarded by Duguxin's Imperial Army along the way!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the supplies are safe!"

Duguxin replied briefly.

If the three-carriage materials of the academy can be taken away under the guard of a thousand forbidden troops, unless the enemy army can send 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill all the thousand forbidden troops, it is absolutely impossible to take away the materials of the academy.

"That's good!"

Li Tai nodded, when he was almost finished eating, he got up and said to the people around Tie Dan, Meng Wenhao, Mo Chui and others: "Everyone, eat and drink quickly, go back to the room to pack up after eating, and leave the city together after half a quarter of an hour. !"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in a low voice.

Not far away, the innkeeper and the servant didn't dare to say a word when they saw this scene, and they didn't even dare to look this way, because Dugu Xin and the people around him all had swords in their hands, so it wasn't good at first glance. Lord of the mess!

Everyone in the business understands that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Last night, the innkeeper instructed his servants to serve Li Tai and his group carefully, and don't ask anything that shouldn't be asked. The tyrants of a certain place pass by here, and if they can not provoke them, they will not provoke them!

After half an hour, the thirty-two people from the academy plus Duguxin and others all left the inn and walked out of the city gate. As for the accommodation fee, Mo Chui had already paid the inn manager.

"The shopkeeper, what do you think these people are from? The carriages they ride are all made by Tricky Pavilion!"

After Li Tai and others left, the inn was small.

Two couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Maybe it's the son of which family is going on a trip~!"

Although the shopkeeper was also curious in his heart, he replied indifferently to the little servant's words, saying.

"Hey! That chubby boy just now must be the son of the big family, and the person who just walked in is their guard. It's just that the teenagers sitting next to the boy don't seem to be him. Servant of the house!"

The boy pinched his chin and guessed seriously.

"Crack~!"

It's just that after he finished speaking, the shopkeeper's slap also landed on the back of his head, and the shopkeeper roared angrily: "Are you free boy, you care who they are and where they came from? Quickly bring someone Desks cleaned and rooms tidied up!”

The little servant was in pain for a while, and quickly jumped to the side, rubbing the back of his head and said, "Oh! I'll go right now!"

"Hey! Curiosity killed the cat, this kid will suffer sooner or later!"

The shopkeeper looked at the back of the servant and muttered to himself.

However, his attention was quickly attracted by the stack of Tang Yuan on the counter in front of him, which was the rent Mo Chui had just paid him. Penglai Inn is also the largest inn in Xihe County, with nearly 50 guest rooms. Li Tai and his party booked the inn this time, and the room for one night is quite a lot!

"What do they do? Just pay the house!"

The shopkeeper picked up the stack of Tang Yuan and said with a smile.

"Yo~! Guest officer, are you eating so early or staying at the hotel?"

At this moment, a big man with dark skin and a coarse short coat came from outside the door, and the young man hurried up to meet him, but the big man ignored him at all and walked straight towards the shopkeeper at the counter.

"The shopkeeper, were there dozens of teenagers staying in your inn last night?"

The big man knocked on the counter, spoke an authentic Guanzhong dialect, looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"Yo, guest officer, this is where we live, not the place to ask for news!"

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed. He listened to the other party's accent and knew that the other party was probably from the capital area, but the other party was dressed like a rich man at all, so he didn't bother to pay attention!

"Crack~!"

Unexpectedly, the big man took out a hanging copper coin from his waist, slapped it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "This is consistent money. If you answer certain questions truthfully, a certain family will be very grateful!"

In the eyes of ordinary people, Qiangongqian was already considered a huge sum of money for the Tang Dynasty when the price was extremely low. The shopkeeper was naturally a rich man, not bad for this kind of money, but after answering a few questions, he Being able to get consistent money is still a very cost-effective deal for him, but he is a little strange. Isn't it too heavy for the other party to hang so much copper money on him?

Here, I have to say that since the establishment of Yanhuang Qianzhuang and the court personally came forward to promote Tang Yuan, more and more people in the Tang Dynasty began to slowly use and gradually accept Tang Yuan, and after getting used to the convenience brought by Tang Yuan , almost no one will be willing to use copper coins, especially in Guanzhong area, many states and counties are basically difficult to see copper coins in large transactions!
