The plan to blend into the caravan went well, and Uncle Wu came over after a while. He told Liu Jing that the caravan owner had agreed to their request.

In fact, Liu Jing is gentle and elegant in both appearance and temperament, and the dozens of them are young and strong people who have no weapons and no banditry, and they only walk together for a while, so the other party has no reason to refuse.

In the afternoon, when the caravan passed through a small city, Liu Jing was still far away and saw Deng Jiulang's team.

In fact, not only Liu Jing, but everyone was looking at that team.

It's not that the group is brightly dressed, but that kind of momentum, as long as it is put out, it makes people feel that the momentum is amazing, and no one will back down everywhere they go.

At this moment, Deng Jiulang was in the luxurious carriage, his eyes were slightly closed, his face was slightly heavy, his handsome face had a hint of anger, and he seemed to have lost some weight.

Liu Jing only glanced at it, and saw Deng Jiulang turn his head to look in her direction.

Sensing his gaze, Liu Jing quickly looked away.

At this moment, the caravan was in a hurry, but Deng Jiulang's group was slow, and gradually, the caravan went out of the city and left them behind.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Looking at the town that gradually appeared in the field of vision, Qiansan rode his horse close to Deng Jiulang's carriage and asked curiously: "Lang Jun, where did you say Liu Wenjing wenjing?" Didn't she say she was on that kind of clipper boat when she set off? Why hasn't it been so long since you caught up? ”

In the carriage, Deng Jiulang's voice was a little cold, "I have to catch up." It's just a day or two of delay. ”

Hearing the anger in his tone, Qiansan was secretly startled. thought: That Liu Xiaolang made Lang Jun angry this time, and he didn't know when he arrived. How will Lang Jun punish him. I don't know why I think about it. Qiansan was full of anticipation.

After a while, their convoy also entered the town.

Looking at this somewhat desolate town, Deng Jiulang waved his hand and motioned for the guards to disperse, while he himself came to a small inn that looked dilapidated and dilapidated surrounded by Qiansan and others.

Seeing this dirty little inn everywhere, Deng Jiulang didn't have the heart to eat. He lowered his eyes, took out the wine he had brought down from the carriage, and tasted it slowly.

It doesn't take a while. A Jin Wuwei came up behind him and whispered, "Lang Jun, we are being targeted. ”

"Oh?" Deng Jiulang frowned slightly, and asked lightly, "Who are they?" ”

"It's some bandits." Jin Wuwei's tone was a little solemn, "Those people have been eyeing us since two days ago, and they have sent a few people to inquire just now, and there is a green mountain village eighty miles away from here. It is said that there is collusion with the giant bandit Black Dragon Water Army that flows through the Yellow River all the year round, and there are 100 people in the village. They were scheduled to set up an ambush in the middle of the road at noon tomorrow! ”

Speaking of this, Jin Wuwei's voice was low, and there was a bit of evil in his tone, "Taiping and prosperous." actually nested such a group of mountain bandits, and still wanted to fight Lang Jun's idea! Lang Jun, Captain Li means that we take the initiative. Destroy this gang of bandits! ”

Deng Jiulang pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." Let Captain Li arrange it. ”

"Yes."

That night, after leaving behind thirty Jinwuwei. The rest of the Jinwuwei left the inn without a sound. And just an hour after they had left, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and after I don't know what had been said, fifteen more Jinwuwei departed.

When there were only fifteen Jin Wuwei left by Deng Jiulang's side, even this small inn seemed to be much quieter.

Not long after Deng Jiulang fell asleep, suddenly, there was a shout from outside the inn, "Go water-go water-". The cry was so alarming, and with it came a flame that reflected half of the sky! and the uncomfortable billowing smoke!

The cry suddenly rose and became louder and louder, Deng Jiulang just sat up straight, and Qiansan's voice had already come from outside, "Lang Jun, a fire broke out behind the inn, and the horses were injured in order to prevent fire, and the Jin Wuwei guards have rushed there." ”

When Deng Jiulang heard this, he frowned and stood up, just made this action, only to hear a bang, as if someone fell to the ground.

Deng Jiulang was stunned, quickly touched the sword on one side, and after rolling into the corner with agility, he stood motionless in the dark.

However, the sound of shouting and shouting for firefighting outside was endless, but there was no second sound in this square inch of space for a long time.

After two quarters of an hour, the fire gradually subsided, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, Deng Jiulang raised his eyebrows, strode to the door and pulled the door open.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Qiansan lying motionless on the ground!

After Deng Jiulang glanced around vigilantly, he walked up to Qiansan and stretched out his hand to probe his nose, his breath was still there. If you look at it again, you should have been caught in the incense.

After a while, a few Jin Wuwei who had put out the fire hurriedly came, and when they saw Qiansan's appearance, they couldn't help but be surprised, and when they looked around vigilantly, Deng Jiulang glanced at Qiansan's sleeve and there seemed to be something between his sleeves.

He bent down and picked it up.

It is a gold leaf, with a very special shape, and the patterns on it are intertwined, and if you look closely, it seems to be an ancient script. However, Deng Jiulang has not studied Jinshi, so he doesn't know what this word is.

This thing can't be owned by Qiansan, Deng Jiulang picked it up and put it in his sleeve pocket.

At this time, all the Jin Wuwei had already surrounded them, and they glanced at the Qiansan and the others who had fallen to the ground, and their faces showed a look of shame and indignation. One person stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I am waiting for the guards to be ineffective, and I ask Lang Jun to punish him." ”

After Deng Jiulang glanced at the dark sky outside, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was silent for a while before he summoned Jin Wuwei, who was kneeling in a row, "Get up." ”

"Yes."

"Now that the fire is out, there should be nothing to do tonight, so let's go to sleep."

Yes?

After all the Jin Wuwei looked at each other, they still replied, "Yes." ”

After Jin Wuwei carried Qiansan down, Deng Jiulang also returned to his room, and Jin Wuwei, who rushed to suppress the bandits, arrived in the early hours of the morning.

They went armed and came armed again. Not even half of the wound. Facing the staring gaze of Deng Jiulang, who was leaning on the couch, Captain Li said in a deep voice: "Lang Jun." We weren't lucky enough to catch the bandits! ”

Just said this. He heard Deng Jiulang's voice, "What do you have in your hand?" ”

Captain Li stretched out his right hand, revealing a strangely shaped gold leaf, and said with a smile: "This is what we found on my mount after we came down the mountain." I don't know who left a gold leaf there, and I asked people to search around, but there was not even a ghost. ”

"Show me."

"Yes."

Deng Jiulang reached out and took the golden leaf and looked at it for a moment. He rubbed his index finger lightly over the ancient words on the gold leaf, and said lightly: "You have been tricked." ”

In the stunned gaze of the Jin Wuwei, a smile appeared on the corner of Deng Jiulang's mouth, and he said again in a soft voice: "We have been tricked." ”

After that, Deng Jiulang stood up and said lightly: "Let's go rest and set off again in the afternoon." ”

The next two days went as smoothly as usual.

On the third day, in front of the group. Once again, a small town appeared.

This is Yuzhou, if you change to another state, the population is so sparse, there is no reason to see a small town in two or three days.

in this town. There is an inn and a restaurant, and Deng Jiulang and his party are not rich or expensive, so they naturally enter the restaurant. Although the restaurant is not big, the two-story wooden attic. There were only twenty or thirty rooms, and the guards had to squeeze a few people into one room.

After a meal in a restaurant. In the evening, there was a burst of laughter from below. But it is a brothel village in this neighborhood, after hearing that there is such a group of nobles passing by, they rush over or sing or dance, and the silk and bamboo are fun.

…… In fact, it is not only the women from the brothel who come, but also many of them are local girls from good families. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is often a legacy among the people in the north, that is, the villages that live in isolated and backward places all the year round will voluntarily send local products and their daughters when foreign guests arrive, one to trade some money with foreign guests, and the other to ask for a night of joy with foreign guests. If they have a child after a happy night, they will be happy to give birth and will treat the child with an unknown father well, this behavior is called 'crossing', because the locals believe that this kind of crossing can improve their own genes, so the woman's husband will not dislike it, but treat it equally.

And this kind of Spring and Autumn legacy is not only three or four hundred years now, but also thousands of years later.

The music and laughter below continued to be heard, and although there were only a few people who looked down on this kind of country women, they were still happy to be surrounded by these country people, and to enjoy the respect and yearning of their eyes.

Deng Jiulang did not go down.

In the dim candlelight, he was rubbing the two golden leaves. It wasn't until the hour was approaching that he looked up and called, "Someone! ”

After a call, there was silence outside.

Deng Jiulang slowly put away the two gold leaves, reached out and touched the sword, and walked out.

Outside the inn, it was quiet.

Just when Deng Jiulang looked around, suddenly, he found that the lobby of the restaurant downstairs was also quiet.

Almost instantly, the world where he was located was like someone choking his throat, and all the hustle and bustle was lost one by one unconsciously, until there was silence all around.

Such a desolate restaurant, which was originally so lively and noisy that people's ears buzzed, suddenly quieted down, and people felt as if there was an invisible hand controlling it in the dark......

Deng Jiulang stood motionless for a while, slowly stepped up, clenched the sword in his hand, and walked gently in the direction of the lobby downstairs.

He had barely walked twenty paces when suddenly, from the lobby, there was a sound of a piano.

The sound of the piano is leisurely and quiet, like the sound of an empty mountain, rippling with a kind of elegance and elegance.

Such a sound of the piano cannot be played by a country man!

Someone in the lobby!

After Deng Jiulang walked a few more steps, he turned his head and saw a person sleeping in the corner, and when he took a closer look, it was indeed one of his guards. At that moment, he leaned over slightly, and touched the same gold leaf at the hem of the guard's clothes.

Picking up the golden leaf, listening to the leisurely and high-level sound of the piano, Deng Jiulang's pace quickened, and after a while, he appeared at the old staircase.

In the lobby downstairs, there were people who were sleeping on the ground, and Deng Jiulang casually saw those Jin Wuwei who were snoring.

Glancing down the messy lobby, he turned his head to look at where the music was coming from.
