There were no inns near the city gate. Following the wide street that could accommodate sixteen horses riding abreast, Li Huowang and the others walked for an hour before finally finding one.
"This damned place is insane! Can you believe they fined me ten copper coins just because the ox took a crap on the street? How am I supposed to stop an ox when it needs to go?" Zhao Wu, the one managing their finances, was still fuming.
"Exactly!" Scholar Lv chimed in. "Cow dung can be used as firewood! We were basically giving them a gift, and they still fined us! What the hell!"
"Alright, that's enough," Li Huowang said, heading inside. "We're in a new place, so we play by their rules. Let's go in. We can finally sleep in beds tonight, so let's get some good rest."
The moment he stepped into the inn, Li Huowang felt a pang of relief that he had gotten a travel pass from the Pi County Magistrate. It turned out you even needed one just to stay at an inn here.
