Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 111 Nanhe Post Station (Part )

Nanheyi Town was originally a small village with only a dozen households on the south bank of the old course of Linshui River in the northern border of Nanyuan County. It got its name because of the official post station set up here. More than 20 years ago, Linshui River changed its course due to a landslide caused by an earthquake, blocking the old course upstream, and the river water now flows through the south of the village.

The change of course of the Lin River formed a large area of ​​fertile wasteland suitable for cultivation at the junction of the two counties, which naturally caused a dispute between Anping County's neighboring county, Nanyuan County. The two counties argued for this for several years, until Liu Shihao, the Earl of Le'an, was canonized to Anping County, and finally the result was reached: the two counties still used the Lin River as the boundary, with the south of the river being Nanyuan and the north being Anping, and Nanheyi Village was also divided into the jurisdiction of Anping County.

According to folk legend, this result was due to the strong efforts of Le Anbo, who spent a large sum of money for it.

In the nearly twenty years that followed, the wasteland along the old course of the Linshui River was divided into two parts: one half was reclaimed into fertile farmland, and the other half was used as a horse farm.

Since the Linshui River was diverted, the new river channel has become wider, and even a large lake nearly ten miles long and several miles wide has formed near Nanhe Village, which has played a role in regulating and easing the water level downstream. The nearly 100-mile section of the Linshui River from Nanheyi Village to the estuary of the shallow sea has more water than before and is more suitable for navigation.

With the rise of the Liu family, especially the continuous expansion of the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce, Nanheyi Village, as the starting point of the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce's water transportation, has also gradually prospered. At this time, Nanhe Village has developed into a market town with nearly 2,000 households.

Liu Shihu drove the carriage slowly along the main road of the town. People and cars were coming and going on the street. Although it was not as busy as those county towns or prefectural capitals, it was still somewhat lively and prosperous.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Nanhe Post Station.

The post stations were originally set up by the imperial court to ensure the smooth flow of post roads, and they were equipped with horse food for messengers. Later, in order to reduce expenses, the imperial court allowed the post stations to be opened to the public, and they became government-run inns.

Most post stations can only provide basic accommodation and food, and the accommodation conditions are definitely not as good as those of private inns. But it is different in Nanhe Post Station. The scale and accommodation conditions of the post station are no worse than those of private inns.

After the two entered the post station, Liu Feiyun took out a waist badge and handed it to the post station chief, and then said: "Prepare a good room for me first, and then call a few people to serve me!"

After the postmaster looked at the badge, he immediately said respectfully, "So you are Doctor Zheng from the Medicine Fragrance Valley of the Miyun Sect! My lord the Earl once said that all the food and lodging expenses for those who come to the Medicine Fragrance Valley will be paid by the Earl. Please rest assured, I will definitely help you! Please wait for a moment, I will go and arrange a room first."

After Liu Feiyun entered the guest room and sent away the postmaster who had personally led the way, he couldn't help but think to himself, "This Yaoxiang Valley badge is really useful in Anping County! All expenses are covered by the Earl's Mansion! Now, we just have to wait for that little witch!"

After dinner, Liu Feiyun asked the postmaster to find someone to help buy various things and sent them over. It took two more carriages to load them back to the post station. Among them were more than a dozen new sets of girls' clothes and various items for girls to wash and dress.

Looking at the colorful clothes and the large and small boxes of cosmetics in the room, Liu Feiyun sighed again: It seems that no matter which world they are in, women are the same! Little witch! Come quickly! "

That night, just after the hour of Hai (9 to 11 p.m.), Zheng Tingting appeared silently in Liu Feiyun's room.

"What's wrong, little brat? Are you in a hurry? You arrived six or seven hours early! Well! In that case, I will charge you fewer crystals!" Zheng Tingting said with a smile as soon as they met.

"My Senior Sister Zheng, I'm just afraid that you'll be anxious! Here! Hot water, clothes, rouge, powder, perfume, I've prepared all of these for you! You should be more satisfied now! Now that you're here, I'll go remove my makeup first. It won't take much time, just wait a moment!" Liu Feiyun said, and was about to wash her face and remove her fake makeup.

"Don't be in a hurry to take off your makeup. Let Liu Shihu find some experts to deal with the little tail behind you!"

"Little tail! What little tail!? Could it be that... I am being followed again? This shouldn't be possible! These past few days, I have been carefully imitating your every move. Not to mention people who have never seen you, even people who are familiar with you should not be able to spot the flaws in a short period of time, right?" Liu Feiyun said in surprise and doubt, puzzled.

"Who said they were targeting you? They were probably targeting me. I just hypnotized someone with LSD and found out that they seemed to be from the Northern Wasteland!"

"Beihuang! Beihuang... Kulibutai! That's right! Only these Beihuang people would not care about the Miyun Sect and their great-grandmaster uncle! Damn it! It's all my fault for being so eager to go home that I lost my composure and didn't realize that someone was following me! If we want to deal with that old guy, it may not be possible to rely on Uncle Ya alone! I'll ask Uncle Ya to contact my family for support!" Liu Feiyun quickly figured out the whole story and hurriedly called Liu Shihu into the inner room. Outside the house, he left it to Uncle Ya, who had regained his original appearance, to guard the place.

Liu Feiyun quickly helped Liu Shihu remove his makeup and changed into clothes that had been prepared in advance, and then asked him to go out and get help.

After Liu Shihu left, Liu Feiyun quickly took off her makeup, put on new makeup, went to another room to change clothes, and suddenly became an ordinary inn waiter.

"Tsk tsk! You are really too cautious! You are already in your own territory, but you are still so secretive! You dare not show your true face to others." Zheng Tingting started to laugh again.

Liu Feiyun disagreed and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry! If I hadn't been so careless during the day, how could I have been targeted by that old fox in Northern Wilderness! Okay! Go take a shower and change your clothes! I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, Liu Feiyun was about to leave the house.

"Well! All right then! After hiding for several days, it's time to wash yourself clean! I guess those people from the Northern Wilderness won't take action tonight! This is a town after all!" Zheng Tingting said indifferently.

Liu Feiyun is now dressed as a real waiter in the post station, who was sent by the postmaster to serve him.

However, just as he prepared all the bathing items, Liu Feiyun drugged him, stripped him of his outer clothes and hid him under the bed. This was because the Nanhe Inn was big enough. The room he wanted was nominally one room, but in fact it was four connected rooms, which was enough space to hide one person.

Now Liu Feiyun came to the outermost room, which was where the waiter who was waiting for the guests' orders should stay. The second room inside was guarded by Uncle Ya, the third room was temporarily used as a bathroom, and the innermost room was the real bedroom.

About half an hour later, Zheng Tingting called Uncle Ya, "Uncle Ya, I've changed my clothes. Go ask the waiter to carry the tub out!"

But just at that moment, an old man's voice suddenly rang out: "Little girl! You're done! In that case, follow me! Hahaha!"
