Qin Chuan put down the whip in his hand, knowing that Shen Lingqiu was asking himself, thought about it, and replied with some caution: "Before, in the beef soup shop, I heard the old man of the Mountain Sect talk about it, I think that after we left, another group of people arrived here to fight with the people who came from Qingzhou City, but the other party's martial arts cultivation is superb, and it doesn't take a single soldier to leave nearly ninety percent of the martial arts cultivators in Qingzhou City here, this skill, I can't do it." Although I don't know who this group is, I have a vague feeling in my heart that we will finally meet them, so we have been preparing for life in the past few days, and after doing your business, let's leave the capital to take the big exam. ”

After Shen Lingqiu heard what Qin Chuan said, it seemed that he didn't know who those people were, but since he couldn't figure it out, it was better to take a rest. Following those darts in the mountains and forests, although there were people to protect me along the way, I always felt a little weak. It wasn't until I entered the boundary of Ningzhou City that I felt that the stone in my heart had been put down.

But Aunt Zhi didn't dare to be careless, she kept listening to the sound outside the carriage, and after a while, she saw her listening to something, frowning from time to time, and after a while, she asked Qin Chuan outside the carriage: "There are people following along the way, and you don't get rid of it sooner." I'm going to go into the city later, so as not to get into trouble. ”

Qin Chuan replied slowly: "Aunt Zhi, don't panic, before I left, I asked the boss of the beef soup and found a small road. And I can meet them by taking a shortcut, so it can only be said that the other party is staring at us, in this case, we will not hide it, solve the matter as soon as possible, and go to Ningzhou City to sleep well. There were some bumps along the way, and I couldn't stand it. ”

At this time, Qinchuan came to a paddy field, which was filled with clear water and overgrown with blue-yellow rice, which was vast and vast, about hundreds of acres. From time to time, egrets stay in the fields, occasionally catch a small fish, and eat it with their heads up. In the distance, there was a group of dragonflies, tired of flying and resting on the rice leaves, and next to them were a few small trees, full of loquats.

When Qin Chuan saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh that Qingzhou City was indeed a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and the mountains were dangerous, so how could there be a plain. I used to think that Qingzhou City was already extremely prosperous, but now it seems that I am still a frog at the bottom of the well, and I don't know what I will be surprised when I go to Huzhou, the capital and other places.

However, at this time, Qin Chuan didn't have too much mind to look at the beautiful scenery, but was wary of the peddlers and pawns who followed from the beef soup shop, although they pretended to turn a blind eye, but Qin Chuan had long felt that they were not normal. He deliberately turned back in several places, and they were also looking for the same path, which made Qin Chuan a little suspicious. This Ningzhou City Plain and mountainous area are staggered, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the bandits of the martial arts rivers and lakes to come to this place easily, just looking at the clothes of these people, and the old horses pulled behind them, but they are like poor people, so why are they following themselves?

Since he couldn't think of a famous name, Qin Chuan simply grabbed the reins and quietly waited for the people behind him to come over. After a long time, the group of people also stopped the horse's hooves and stopped taking a step forward, Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn the carriage around and face those people.

This place is endless, there is no place to cover it, there are a few farmers in the distance who are fertilizing, in addition, there are no other people, but this is Ningzhou City after all, it is much more prosperous than Qingzhou City, and there must be a lot of martial arts practitioners in the temple. At that time, he was left behind before entering Ningzhou City, which Qin Chuan didn't want to meet anyway. But these people followed him all the time, and Qin Chuan felt a little tricky for a while. I am doing some unsightly things in Ningzhou City, if I am still followed by these people in Ningzhou, then everything will not go well, and it seems that I will have to act at the opportunity.

Seeing Qin Chuan facing him, among the peddlers and pawns, a sturdy man walked out, and the green tendons in his hands burst out, and at a glance, he knew that it was Lian Jiazi. This person didn't beat around the bush, glanced at the carriage behind Qin Chuan, the heavy curtain covered it, and he couldn't see the name inside, the man guessed in his heart that it should be the two women, looking at the rut marks on the ground, there should be no one else on the carriage, so the strong man grinned:" Young man, our brothers came on a long journey, and when they arrived in Ningzhou City, they found that there was no entanglement, looking at you in front of the beef soup shop was very generous, thinking of asking for a little money from you, if the brothers earned back in Ningzhou, they would naturally pay you back twice. If you don't make any money, you can only say sorry. ”

Qin Chuan nodded, Ningzhou City is Ningzhou City after all, and even the roadblock robbery is so euphemistic, how can it be like in Qingzhou City, before a word of greeting, the big knife has already been greeted. But unexpectedly, it was he who sold the money in front of the beef soup shop, making these peddlers and pawns mistakenly think that they were rich sons, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be angry and funny. So he thought about it very seriously: "Yes, meeting is fate, but I don't know how many taels of silver do these brothers need." ”

Seeing that no one answered, the sturdy man in the lead smiled and pulled out an axe from the straw pulled by the carriage, which was swarthy and very frightening: "I don't want much, we have a total of six brothers, all of whom are dragged by the family." It's not too much to ask for a hundred taels per person. But as you said, meeting is fate, I'll give you a discount, how about five hundred taels of silver. We are going to Ningzhou Chen's house, when you enter Ningzhou City, if there is anything, but even if you come to Ningzhou Chen's house, I will naturally keep you safe. You have to weigh this deal. ”

It turned out to be doing things for Chen Xiangyuan and their family, and there was a faint threat in his words. Qin Chuan thought about it, glanced around very cautiously, and found that the farmers in the distance were still applying fertilizer with their heads down, and they didn't know what was going on here. And in the eyes of the sturdy man, Qin Chuan seemed to be looking for help.

Qin Chuan got out of the carriage and kept pacing, as if thinking about something: "You said five hundred taels of silver, how long will it take those peasants to earn it? ”

The sturdy man shook the axe in his hand, only to see that several other people also took out all kinds of weapons from the straw, such a fierce appearance, it seems that people often do things to kill people and overdo goods, and at this moment, facing Qin Chuan alone, they are not panicked.

Qin Chuan knocked on the horizontal wood on the carriage, thought about it, took out a pot of spirits from it, and took a sip, only to feel that it was so spicy that his throat hurt. Since the other party is dressed like this, it is not good for him to keep anything, but Qin Chuan is waiting for something, so he is slow to do it.

Seeing Qin Chuan so calm, the sturdy man suddenly felt a little strange, so he stood in place and didn't dare to move.

At this moment, the peasants in the distance began to sit in the rice fields and rest, and they were no longer visible. Qin Chuan covered the wine in the bamboo tube, hung it on the crossbar again, and walked towards the sturdy man.
