The next day.
On the official road far away from Chang 'an, Yang Yu and Luo Shixin rode on two horses.
Among them, Luo Shixin was slightly behind Yang Yu.
As it turned out, not long after Yang Yu led the Ba Shang Imperial Guards out of the Ba Shang Imperial Guards Battalion, he had the commandant of the Ba Shang Imperial Guards temporarily take charge of leading the thousand Ba Shang Imperial Guards along the official road towards Qi County.
As for Yang Yu, he only brought Luo Shixin along and split up with the Ba Shang Imperial Guards. After walking along the small path for a while, they walked onto the official road.
The reason for this was that Yang Yu naturally wanted to rush over before the army arrived and observe the situation in Qi County in advance.
After all, with Emperor Sui's actions, it was obvious that the situation in Qi County might be a little complicated.
There was a high chance that it was related to the situation in Qi County.
"H-Young Master, there's a small shop up ahead.”
Luo Shixin saw a small shop in the distance, so he said to Yang Yu.
Yang Yu looked at the sky and nodded.
At the same time, just as Yang Yu was about to bring Luo Shixin to the small village shop to spend the night, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him.
From the sound, there were at least a hundred riders galloping.
However, the sound of horse hooves was chaotic. It was obviously not a well-trained cavalry. It was most likely a caravan.
"Make way, make way. Second Master Shan of Erxian Village is passing by!”
When Luo Shixin saw this, he was just about to be on guard when he saw Yang Yu wave his hand, signaling him not to make a sound.
Then, the two of them opened up a path for the horse team to pass by.
A moment later, a strange light flashed in Yang Yu's eyes as he looked at the horse team that was speeding past.
"Dan Xiong Xin, from the looks of it, it should be a birthday gift for Qin Shubao's mother.”
Yang Yu recalled when the horse team passed by just now. There were some carriages piled with gifts in the horse team, and he revealed a smile.
"It's better to come at the right time than to come early.”
Luo Shixin looked at Yang Yu in confusion. He did not know why Yang Yu would say that.
"Let's go to the local inn and see if there are any empty rooms.”
If he was not mistaken, the people from Erxian Manor would also be staying at the inn in front.
After all, it was already late. Unless it was an emergency, most people would not travel at night.
Luo Shixin nodded slightly when he heard Yang Yu's instructions.
As they were traveling in private, both of them were dressed in plain clothes. It was precisely because of this that the horse team of Erxian Manor that passed by just now did not pay attention to the two of them.
Not long after, the two of them rode their horses to the inn. At this moment, outside the inn was the group of people from the Two Virtues Manor who had borrowed the road just now.
Some of them were feeding the horses outside the inn, while others were following the second master of the Shan family, Shan Xiong Xin.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yu smiled slightly and instructed Luo Shixin.
"Shixin, go and hand the horse to the shop owner. We'll stay here tonight.”
"Yes."
Very quickly, under Yang Yu's orders, Luo Shixin handed the two warhorses to a waiter. After throwing him a piece of silver, the waiter respectfully escorted Yang Yu and Luo Shixin into the inn.
"Two masters, do you want to go to the restaurant or stay in the hotel?”
Just as the waiter sent the two of them into the shop and was feeding Yang Yu's horse, a middle-aged shop owner walked over and said attentively.
"Two first-class guest rooms."
Luo Shixin, who was a guard, threw a piece of silver to the middle-aged shop owner and said in a low voice.
"Alright, please come in!”
After the middle-aged shopkeeper received the silver ingot, he wiped it with the coarse cloth around his neck and gritted his teeth. After discovering that it was real, he invited Yang Yu and the other two to a table with a polite expression.
"Masters, what do you want to eat?"
Then, he looked at Yang Yu respectfully and said.
Obviously, he recognized Yang Yu as the leader at a glance.
Yang Yu smiled faintly when he heard this.
"Two catties of beef and a jar of top scorer's red.”
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
Soon, after the middle-aged shopkeeper left, Yang Yu looked around the inn.
He saw that other than the table he and Luo Shixin were sitting at, there were seven or eight other tables of burly men.
Yang Yu swept his gaze across the shop and finally cast his gaze on a table with only a few people.
There were only three people at the table.
One of them looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed differently from the others. He was obviously a leader.
"Second Master, those two people over there seem to be the ones who gave way to us when we passed by. Looking at their clothes, they should be rich youths.”
One of them clearly noticed Yang Yu and Shan Xiong Xin. After sizing them up, he said to the Shan family's second master, Shan Xiong Xin.
"This time, I'm going to congratulate Brother Qin's mother on her birthday.”
When Shan Xiong Xin heard this, he glanced at Yang Yu and the burly Luo Shixin. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he spoke indifferently.
"Second Master is right."
That person nodded slightly when he heard Shan Xiong Xin's words.
"The brother opposite is Second Master Shan of Erxian Manor?”
At the same time, Yang Yu raised his wine bowl and said to Shan Xiong Xin, who was calm and collected.
"This one is Shan Xiong Xin. May I know which path brother is from?”
Shan Xiong Xin was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Yu's voice. Then, he frowned and said,
"I've long heard of Brother Shan's great name.”
When Yang Yu saw this, he stood up and walked to Dan Xiong Xin's side with a smile.
Luo Shixin followed closely behind Yang Yu, vigilantly looking at the people of the Two Virtues Manor who stood up because of Yang Yu.
"Sit down."
Shan Xiong Xin said indifferently when he saw the people of Erxian Manor standing up.
"Yes, Second Master!"
Ever since the Shan family's eldest son, Shan Xiong Zhong, died, the Two Virtues Manor had been controlled by Shan Xiong Xin alone.
His prestige in Erxian Manor was clearly loud enough. With a single order, everyone sat down.
"Shixin, go back and sit down. I'll accompany Brother Dan for a drink.”
Yang Yu glanced at Shan Xiong Xin and ordered Luo Shixin.
"Yes."
Just as Luo Shixin was about to leave, Shan Xiongxin spoke.
"Two brothers, since you are guests, why don't we sit down and have a drink?”
"That's good."
Yang Yu sat down unceremoniously. When Luo Shixin saw this, he also followed suit. He sat down.
Shan Xiong Xin's mouth twitched. He was just being polite, he didn't expect Yang Yu to really agree.
However, the Two Virtues Village was a hospitable place, and he, Shan Xiong Xin, also liked to make friends, so he didn't mind.
A moment later, the few of them started drinking, and the atmosphere slowly rose.
