After Gao Dengyun left, Liang Lan continued to meditate and practice every day, read books, and occasionally go out for a walk, and the two days passed in the blink of an eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Recently, it has been rumored on the street that there are monsters in Qingshui County.

At first, it was just speculation, and most of the people in the wine shop and teahouse talked about it, but later they even had noses and eyes, and some people even claimed to have seen the appearance of the monster with their own eyes. The head is as big as a bucket, the eyes are like lamps, the mouth is bloody and fanged, and the appearance is even more terrifying than the evil ghosts in the temple on the edge of the city.

At the beginning, Liang Lan was still very concerned, as a cultivator, he definitely did not doubt the existence of monsters. Later, I listened to it a lot, and everyone said it differently, so I guessed that it was just a rumor from a bored person.

After the monster rumor, there were suddenly more cases of committing crimes in the name of monsters, and the Li family in the west of the county had fewer cattle and sheep, and the scene was bloody, all said that the monsters stole it, and then the youngest son of the Wang family in the east of the county was found to die tragically on the side of the road, and his body was chopped into several sections, and it was also rumored that the monster did it.

It's just that the wicked person is holding on to the name of the monster, Liang Lan shook his head, except for Dong Zhong, it is really possible that there are only two cases committed by that "monster" at most, but in the past two days, there have been ten more cases than usual?

The most terrifying thing is the human heart.

The entire Qingshui people were already panicked, although the county commander Zhou Jizhou had strengthened the guards, but most of the people did not dare to go out at night. The county order has issued a reward list, and the reward for the arrest of the murderer is fifty taels of silver.

To be honest, Liang Lan was a little moved.

Anyway, he now has the blessing of the Dao, and his physical fitness has become much stronger, so he can resist it for a while when he encounters a monster.

......

Thirty or fifty miles outside the city, Black Wind Mountain.

The trees on the mountain are lush and green, the terrain is treacherous, and a big cottage is built on the halfway side of the mountain, which is majestic and majestic. It is the residence of the bandits known as the Black Wind Bandits.

The name of this dynasty is Daqi, it has been more than 500 years since the founding of the country, and the luck of the country has far surpassed the previous dynasty, but now it has also shown a declining atmosphere, and people often gather in various places to become thieves, for the harm of one party,

Linqing's economy is relatively developed, but Qingshui has also had several bandits. The official army sent troops to exterminate it many times, but to no avail. Now the people are also suffering from the black wind thieves.

The cottage was brightly lit, and in the bedroom of the upper floor, a lean but tall middle-aged man glanced at the letter, and then put it in the candle and burned it. He put away the fifty taels of money that had been presented with the letter, thought about it, took out five taels from it, and commanded the door.

"Liu Tong, let him in, I have something to order."

Pedal, pedal

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from far and near, and a man in black knocked on the door outside, and after receiving the promise, he pushed the door open and strode in. Bow your head and bow your hand.

"Four masters, what do you command?"

"It's nothing important, my nephew in the city has been in some trouble recently, and it's better for you to do this kind of thing after thinking about it."

As he spoke, the fourth master threw the silver to Liu Tong and continued: "Take a few people to kill the one named Liang Lan, and keep this bit of silver for the brothers to drink." ”

Liu Tong grabbed the silver: "The four masters can rest assured." ”

Not long after, four or five people rode out of the small gate next to them and galloped down the mountain road.

The person at the head is none other than Liu Tong, who is known as the four powerful subordinates of Liu Hei in charge of the family. Speaking of which, this matter is his old business today.

Before going to Heifeng Mountain, he Liu Tong lived by spending money for others to eliminate disasters. There must be dozens of people who have been killed, if not a hundred, and there are also a few sons and brothers who died on the knife. It's also familiar with the road. I found a few trustworthy brothers from the cottage, each rode on horseback, and rushed towards Qingshui City.

Far away from the town, there is still a mile or two away, and Liu Tong, who has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, smells that something is wrong. He has also been to the county seat a few times, why is it so tightly guarded today?

The back and forth of the change of guard team seemed to know that they were coming over today and deliberately waited.

He waved his hand behind him, and three or four people behind him also grabbed the reins and stopped.

"Brothers, today is a little evil, and the tricks are all highlighted."

"Yes, Brother Tong."

"Today's garrison is too strict, it's difficult for us to sneak in this costume" Liu Tong pondered for a while and made a decision: "Let's stay at the edge of the city for one night first, and then make plans tomorrow with that Liang Gongzi." ”

Several people followed Liu Tong quietly along the path to a simple guest room at the edge of the city, and it could be seen that this was just a place for people to stay, and there was not even a signboard outside the door, only two conspicuous red lanterns were hung, on which the word inn was written.

The shopkeeper on duty was lying on the counter yawning for a long time, and was a little surprised to hear someone come in, obviously he didn't expect that there would be a customer so late, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and greeted him with a strong spirit.

"How many masters, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Liu Tong nodded: "There are five of us, and we want three rooms." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll clean it up for you, a room costs five cents, a total of fifteen cents." The shopkeeper smiled.

Liang Tong took out a few copper plates and slapped them on the counter: "What should I do, grandpa only has so much." ”

The shopkeeper counted them, and immediately said: "A few masters, this is too little, so I gave six cents, and I will give some more." ”

A few rough brothers behind Liu Tong pulled out their knives, and the bright white light was very dazzling.

"Less damn nonsense, giving you money is a lot of mercy."

The shopkeeper has also been immersed in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and knows that these people in front of him are fierce and vicious, and they are rolled out of the pile of dead people. It's better not to provoke yourself, and you should suffer a dumb loss.

I had to make a bitter face and shouted to the second floor: "Xiao Dingzi, five masters are here, and three guest rooms are cleaned up." ”

The little dingzi, who has always been diligent and quick, came down the stairs after a while.

The shopkeeper immediately scolded: "Son of a bitch, you threw your soul on your head, and you came down so late." Don't hurry up and clean up for a few masters. ”

Xiao Dingzi lowered his head and came to Liu Tongji: "Master, the little one will help you carry it." ”

The shopkeeper heard it and scolded: "Dog, what bag are you carrying, uncle's things are lost, and you can't afford to pay for them." ”

Liu Tong laughed when he heard this: "It's okay, this kid really wants to be able to take things from the uncle's hands, count his skills!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Tong threw the package towards Xiao Dingzi, although the money and baggage and the documents for this murder mission were all in it, but he followed behind, what kind of storm could an inn junior turn over?

Who knew that with such a shaking effort, that little dingzi actually ran upstairs with a package on his back.

This kid is greasy!

Liu Tong's face changed slightly, and he stepped up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and chased over to see that the real inn little Ding Zi had already been stripped naked and tied upstairs.

Oh no, that little ding just now was pretending!

Liu Tong reacted in his heart, and hurriedly commanded the people behind: "Ma, go and see our horses!" ”

Several people have kung fu on them, and when they heard the words, they hurriedly ran out, the speed was already much faster than that of ordinary people, but they still didn't catch up, and the side of the tree where the horses were tied was already empty, and they only heard a few neighing horses in the night, and the sound gradually faded away.

A hearty laugh came: "Haha, the thousand-faced Langjun has thanked you for your gifts." ”

"I'll be an immortal on my day, and you'll wait for me!"

Liu Tong scolded there, he had also heard of this thousand-faced Langjun in his early years, he was a famous thief in Linqing City, and his kung fu was not very good, but he was the best at disguise and light skills.

After he escaped, it would be difficult to chase him again.

Liu Tong scolded on his lips, and there was nothing he could do in his heart.

"Big brother, what should I do, if there is no task paperwork, where can we go to find the answerer, and I don't know what Liang Lan looks like to kill?"

"Yes, big brother, why don't you go back to the village tonight and think about it in the long run?"

Liu Tongtie's face was blue, but he was calculating in his heart, if he went back like this, he would definitely be ridiculed by the four masters, Li Laosan had always been at odds with himself, and he would definitely fall into the well if he knew about it.

I regretted that I didn't read the task documents carefully and set off in a hurry, but I only remembered that it was the son of the Liang family who entrusted him to assassinate another son, but I couldn't remember the name or anything. Fortunately, the portrait of the boy was still kept, and he didn't put it in the baggage.

Touching into his arms and taking out the portrait, Liu Tong was also slightly relieved, and he pretended to be calm and scolded loudly.

"What's the panic, the paperwork is gone, isn't the portrait still there, ask according to the portrait, and still worry that you can't find anyone?"
