Outside the Stone City, a large dark cloud obscured the bright moonlight, and the long post road shrouded in darkness was like a monster's esophagus that could devour everything at any time, making the people walking on it panic for no reason.

The swaying shadows of the trees on both sides of the post road, with the faint starlight, from time to time projected their ugly silhouettes onto the road, showing their teeth and claws, so not scary!

Zhang Laosan is a post guard on the border of Huoluo Kingdom, usually at this time, he is mostly hiding in the warm quilt of Widow Liu's house on West Huazi Street in Stone Town, but tonight, his face is sinking like water, his hand is on the handle of the knife, and he is honestly guarding the post road.

Because Zhang Laosan is not only a border soldier, but also has an identity that has never been known to anyone.

Twenty years ago, the fourth-level god hunting Liu Qingmei sat under the probe Zhang San, who was the old pawn of the post house twenty years later, Zhang Laosan, when the god hunted Liu Qingmei died at the foot of Cangcane Mountain, Zhang San became Zhang Laosan and stayed in Stone City, and this stay was a full twenty years.

Sometimes, even Zhang Laosan himself can't tell whether he is a post pawn Zhang Laosan or a detective Zhang San in the Divine Hunting Camp in this life.

But Zhang Laosan knew that he would never forget the god who caught Liu Qingmei, the awe-inspiring woman with picturesque eyebrows, and the moment when she was seriously injured, and would rather die than catch the murderer when he jumped off the cliff.

Therefore, when the secret order of the Divine Capture Camp appeared in front of Zhang Laosan's window, he did not hesitate to choose to be a detective Zhang San, and then stood here quietly.

Zhang San's task is not complicated, he only needs to open the secret passage cave hidden next to the post road when he hears a sound coming from the mountain wall, and then enter the post house with the people who come out of it. It's enough to send them to ride on the Flaming Horned Beast, the most powerful steed in the Fire Luo Kingdom!

Bite! Bite! Clang! Three long and two short! Sure enough, there was the sound of the agreed code tapping from the mountain wall.

Zhang San's blood surged, and he cut off the old vine on the side of the road with a knife. Then he kicked hard at a protruding rock below the mountain wall.

Thundered! There was a crack in the mountain wall, not big or small. Just enough for one person to get through.

One, two, three, four, four people came out of the mountain wall, like mandrill savages in the dark, quietly appeared in front of Zhang San.

"Follow me!" Zhang San said in a hoarse voice, very simple, no nonsense. But he gave up his back to them without reservation.

Ling Qingfeng, who came out of the mountain wall, once again refreshed his understanding of the Central Continent, although the human country here is not very developed in science and technology, but the wisdom and strategy of the people are no worse than the earth world, just like the tunnel he passed through just now, from the city across dozens of miles underground, all the way to the post station outside the city, and there are actually people to answer, such a seamless way of running away is really an eye-opener for him.

Several of the post guards in the post house had already fallen asleep early. Their dinner was made by Zhang Laosan, and the meal was mixed with some drunken cordata powder, and they drank a lot of home-brewed rice wine from Widow Liu's house in the west of the city, and they couldn't sleep until at least noon tomorrow.

Zhang San took the four people who came out of the stone wall. I came to the riding shed of the inn.

Inside the barn were six tall flaming wildebeests, snorting and staring warily at late-night visitors.

Their ancestors were wildebeest in the steppe. However, the bloodline of this ordinary riding beast has evolved over hundreds of years of hybridization. It has become the most important means of transportation in the country.

A flaming horned horse can do a great job in a day when it is fed with hay. It only takes five days and nights to be able to run from Stone Town to the capital of Huoluo Kingdom in one go.

"Let's go!" Zhang Laosan opened the beast shed, released the four Flaming Horned Beasts, and led them to Ling Qingfeng and them.

Niu Lao didn't say a word, turned over on his horse, clamped his feet, and the flaming horned horse under him rushed out like an arrow and ran towards the dark official road.

Ling Qingfeng motioned for Gu Le and Gu Jiannu to also ride on the Flaming Horned Beast, catching up with Niu Lao's back as he gradually moved away.

He himself also rode a flaming horned beast, but after getting on the horse, Ling Qingfeng did not immediately ride his horse and ran out, but bent down and asked very seriously, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

Zhang Laosan didn't expect this young man to take the initiative to talk to him, he was stunned for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't go, if I leave, they will all die!" ”

Ling Qingfeng knew that when he said they, he was referring to the postmen who were sleeping soundly in the house.

"If you don't go, you'll die!" The young man frowned and said.

Zhang Laosan's wrinkled face showed an old chrysanthemum-like smile, and said lightly: "I've been with them for seven or eight years, how embarrassed to kill people!" ”

Ling Qingfeng was shocked, and he had respect for this old man's attitude of not taking life and death seriously.

"Young man, you're a god hunter, right?" Zhang Laosan raised his head, and a rare light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Well, I am!" Ling Qingfeng replied. "Go ahead! Be a good catcher, don't let down the people, remember to the master, your little life was exchanged for your head! “

After finishing speaking, Zhang Laosan laughed, and whipped hard on the butt of the young man's riding beast, so that the flaming wildebeest beast was like a frightened rabbit, and rushed into the deep night.

Zhang Laosan, who had done all this, was staggering, but his mood was extremely good. This matter that has been held on for 20 years has finally been put down.

For him, maybe doing this will make him feel closer to Liu Qingmei back then.

Back in the house, he found his beloved cigarette pot bag, Zhang Laosan knocked lightly on the soles of his feet twice, and reloaded the cloud cigarette powder that he had been reluctant to smoke.

Zhang Sanlao's hand was very steady, and the flint made a crisp sound in his hand, and a spark smashed into the smoke pot accurately, igniting the tobacco smoothly.

But at this moment, his hand suddenly trembled, because he heard the sound of horses' hooves, this sound would not be wrong even if Zhang Laosan closed his eyes, this was the hoof of the Flaming Horned Horse Beast.

Boom! The gate of the post station was knocked open, and a sturdy flaming horneed beast broke in, and the rider on the back of the wildebeest beast turned over and dismounted neatly, and came to Zhang Laosan in a few steps.

"Young man, what are you doing again?" Zhang Laosan was a little stunned, in his original script, everything was perfect, and the rest was that he sat quietly in the courtyard and waited, and then took all the blame on his body, and finally died quietly.

The person who jumped off the horseback was Ling Qingfeng, he didn't feel that he was doing the right thing, but he knew that if he didn't do it, then the old face of this veteran would appear in his dream for a long time, in order to avoid such a bad thing, so he had to come back.

"I thought about it for a moment, it's better for me to knock you out with my own hands! I know a technique that won't hurt very much, just a little bit, and you can sleep until tomorrow afternoon! After knocking you unconscious, I'll throw you into the room, and then I'll do it to each of your colleagues, so that none of you will die, though you are all derelict in your duties! Ling Qingfeng smiled a little innocently.

Zhang Laosan's eyes suddenly moistened, he couldn't remember when he had met such a kind-hearted person, maybe Liu Qingmei was also a fool like him back then, so he died at a young age!

But why is it that such a fool is always prone to tears?

Zhang Laosan scolded: "Bastard! Stinky boy, you don't know how much your life is worth more than Lao Tzu? If you delay the time and be caught, Lao Tzu will not let you go! Get out! Get out of here! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Laosan to finish scolding, Ling Qingfeng was extremely respectful, and then poked a finger at the back of his neck, and the old man fell down in response.

Ling Qingfeng knew very well that this escape was a time difference, and the secret back hand of the Divine Capture Camp in Stone City could only be used once, so there was no time to arrange a back path for everyone.

And people like Zhang Laosan are typical outcasts, and his role is to cover more important people leaving Stone City. No one will think about how to get out for him, and having the determination to die is the consciousness that an abandoned pawn should have. (To be continued.) )
