A few minutes later, Wang Xiaohai arrived at the neighboring country's territory and let Guan Xiaopeng go.

"I was flying too fast just now, and half of the jewels leaked out of the treasure bag." Guan Xiaopeng felt a little regretful. Although he said this, he didn't dare to look back and could only blame himself for being unlucky.

"It just happened. Just think of it as a surprise for ordinary people," Wang Xiaohai said. "Just think about it. An ordinary person who earns a few dozen taels of silver a year goes to the mountains to chop wood and suddenly finds a bracelet worth ten thousand taels of silver. Wouldn't that be a wonderful scene?"

"I guess he was arrested by the government for theft while he was selling bracelets," Guan Xiaopeng said. "Then he was thrown into prison and forced to work in the mines, where he was whipped and scolded every day!"

Wang Xiaohai was speechless and flew away.

He has worked too long today and decided to take a rest for a night and continue working tomorrow. A perfect combination of work and rest is the key to success.

Wang Xiaohai found a larger city in the nearby country of Tieshi. He asked passersby and learned that this city was called Ding State because the emperor's surname was Ding. However, in this country, the word Ding cannot be said because it is taboo. When the passerby told Wang Xiaohai, he gestured twice in the air with his hands.

"Then what do the nails in your country say?" Wang Xiaohai asked curiously. He hated such a domineering and dictatorial country and decided to rob all the emperor's property tomorrow!

"His name is Mortise." The passerby answered and left in a hurry. He felt that Wang Xiaohai's thoughts were very dangerous. If he continued to talk to Wang Xiaohai, he would be reported by the passerby!

"Iron nails are also called mortise and tenon?" Wang Xiaohai shook his head and walked towards a five-story wooden hotel on the street. The hotel's sign was called Yingfeng Inn.

It was not yet dark and there was still some time, so Wang Xiaohai decided to eat and wait. Anyway, he had plenty of silver in his ring, the treasury silver of a big country, and he had not counted it carefully yet.

"Sir, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" The still charming proprietress walked up to Wang Xiaohai, wiggling her butt.

Wang Xiaohai looked at the woman whose face was powdered so thick it could block an arrow and asked, "Don't you have a waiter in such a big inn?"

"Yes, they won't be coming to work until half an hour later, and so will the chef." The proprietress said as she leaned towards Wang Xiaohai.

Wang Xiaohai smelled the strong perfume on the proprietress, who had obviously sprayed too much, and quickly waved his hand: "Don't get so close, I'm eating and staying here."

"Ah, then please come in!" The innkeeper took Wang Xiaohai's hand and led him into the inn. She found a seat on the first floor for him to sit down. "There's a menu on the table. You can order your own food. If you need any special service, please let me know."

"What special service?" Wang Xiaohai picked up the menu and asked casually.

"You idiot, you're asking even though you already know the answer!" the proprietress said coquettishly, "You look like an old hand."

Wang Xiaohai immediately understood, glanced at the proprietress, and said, "No need for special service. First, give me a pound of wine, 20 pounds of cooked beef, and five roast ducks. That's it for now."

The charming proprietress cast a coquettish glance at Wang Xiaohai and said, "Sir, you eat so much by yourself. Actually, I'm not the only woman in the inn. If you don't like me, you can find someone else. I'll only charge you five taels of silver a night."

"Alright, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks. I don't need any special services." Wang Xiaohai refused again. He knew that in ancient times, any woman with a bit of beauty was either favored by a wealthy family or forcibly taken away by the government or the imperial palace. How could she have the chance to work at the inn? He knew without thinking that she would be the type to scare the hell out of him.

"Since my partner and the chef are not here, I'm the only one doing it, so you have to wait here a little longer. Can you give me half of the deposit first?" the proprietress said to Wang Xiaohai.

It seems that the business of this inn is really not good. Today there is only one guest, Wang Xiaohai. She was afraid that Wang Xiaohai would run away, so she collected the deposit first.

"No problem. How much?" Wang Xiaohai took out some silver from his pocket.

"Five taels."

Twenty kilograms of beef and five roast ducks, a total of ten taels, is a bit expensive, but Wang Xiaohai doesn't care. He just throws the silver over and says, "Just hurry up."

"Okay, sir. We at Yingfeng Inn work as fast as the wind!"

The proprietress walked happily towards the kitchen, and soon the sounds of chopping and the colliding of pots and bowls were heard.

When Wang Xiaohai was about to fall asleep while waiting, the proprietress came over with a large plate.

“Bang—”

The plate fell heavily on the old table, almost crushing it. Wang Xiaohai saw that one of the wooden legs under the table had a crack.

"Where's the wine?"

"I'll be there right away!" The proprietress turned and left.

The beef and roast duck were only cooked with salt and oil, with no other seasonings. It seemed that there was a reason why the inn's business was so bad. Wang Xiaohai thought the meat was not tasty, but it was not terrible either. It was just so-so and edible.

"It was just like that in ancient times. Those ancient delicacies on TV are all lies." Wang Xiaohai said as he ate roast duck. "In modern civilization, any roadside stall tastes better than the ancient restaurants."

"Sir, what are you talking to yourself about?" The proprietress came over with her big butt, placed a pot of wine on Wang Xiaohai's table, and filled a glass for him.

"Nothing, just nonsense."

Although Wang Xiaohai's stomach was not big, he ate up all the food on the table by himself in half an hour. The proprietress was shocked when she came to clear the table. She stared at Wang Xiaohai's stomach for a long time. She couldn't believe it and thought that Wang Xiaohai had a hole in his stomach, so he could eat so much.

In fact, Wang Xiaohai is strong, it's just that his stomach compresses the food in his body. The mass remains unchanged, but the volume becomes smaller.

"Help me find a good room." Wang Xiaohai stood up.

"Okay, two taels of silver for a superior room."

After receiving the money, the proprietress took Wang Xiaohai upstairs with a smile and helped him find a large room with pretty good decoration.

Wang Xiaohai lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest. In the darkness, he smelled the scent of perfume on the sheets. It seemed that someone had slept on them, but the landlady did not change the sheets to save money.

Time goes by...

Late at night, there was a knock on Wang Xiaohai's door.

"Little brother, do you need my service?"

A coquettish voice came.

Wang Xiaohai closed his eyes and did not answer.

The other party pushed the door open without waiting for Wang Xiaohai to answer. The doors of the inn were not locked.

Wang Xiaohai opened his eyes a little and saw a woman in floral clothes appear in his room. He seemed to have seen this woman before, so he searched his memory and finally remembered - this woman was the fifth female guest of "Ten Roses" who once chose to turn off the lights because he had no money!

Wang Xiaohai sat up from the bed and greeted, "Hello, female guest number five, are you turning the lights back on?"

The woman in the flowery dress was also startled and stammered, "Mayor Wang, why are you here?"
