Compared to the smaller forest village, the Blackstone Mine is much farther away from Hemu Town, taking at least two days to get there.

Generally speaking, there are very few human beings in such remote areas. After all, this is the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains, even though there are border gates guarding it, there are still demon clans and evil ways from time to time, and this kind of remote area is easy to be targeted.

However, the Blackstone Mine produces a rare metallic mineral. Therefore, in order to control this area, the town of Riverwood set up a stronghold here and recruited a large number of laborers.

In order to protect their safety, Hemu Town sent more than 100 ordinary soldiers to be stationed for a long time, and arranged a patrol team to visit the hall to patrol regularly.

In this way, the place is also stable. It's just that it's too remote, and it's a mine, so the conditions are very difficult. The warriors who visited the hall were not very willing to come. Every time it comes and goes, just to complete the routine.

This time, if it weren't for the accident in the Black Stone Mine, which made the whole place panic, plus there were demon clans nearby, and the defense of various places needed to be strengthened, the Tantang would not have specially sent warriors to station.

These contents were all introduced by Qin Lie on the road. His purpose was only to get everyone to speed up and rush to the Blackstone Mine as soon as possible.

However, the journey to the Blackstone Mine was too long, and seeing that the sun was already setting, they had only reached less than half of the journey.

Since the departure of Hemu Town, everyone has not stopped for a moment, and by now, they are already sleepy and tired. But because of Qin Lie's power, he had to endure it silently.

At this moment, suddenly, a warrior who was running at the front suddenly shouted with joy.

"Look, we're almost at Songyang Station, it's getting late now, let's just rest there. ”

Huo Xiu immediately looked over and found that on the beam of a hill in front of him, there were seven or eight thatched cottages. These thatched cottages are scattered, enclosing a small courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard, there is a big flag, on which the words Songyang Yi are written.

"Huh, how can there be a post here?"

Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but question.

At this moment, in the carriage behind him, Qin Lie's rather disdainful voice suddenly sounded.

"Those are all bases set up in the town of Kawaki on various transportation arteries, and in addition to entertaining guests, they are also responsible for finding out news. It's not a big deal, you're so rare and weird!"

Huo Xiu stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

At this time, Qin Lie also poked his head out of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's work harder and rest at Songyang Station tonight." ”

The surrounding warriors immediately cheered, and the horsewhips in their hands waved even more rapidly. In this way, the speed has naturally increased a lot.

However, the post station may not seem far away, but in reality, you have to climb another hill and two cols to get there.

By the time Huo Xiu and the others arrived, night had already fallen.

Strangely, however, there were no lanterns on the station, and from the outside, it was pitch black inside.

At this time, a warrior had already stepped forward and reported to Qin Lie.

When Qin Lie heard this, he immediately leaned out of the carriage. He raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Who is on duty at this Songyang Station, why don't you even light a lamp?"

Nearby, a warrior immediately stood up.

"Captain Qin, the person in charge of managing Songyang Station is an old man named Wen Lao, he used to be a martial artist in our visiting hall, because he was old and his legs and feet were not good, so he was arranged for this idle errand above. On weekdays, he led a few miscellaneous servants and stationed here. ”

Qin Lie grimaced, looking quite impatient.

"Call him out, it's just night, he's closed, how do you manage this inn. ”

The warrior responded, then turned around, patted the door of the post station, and shouted loudly: "Old Wen, I am your fellow countryman Zhou Huai, open the door quickly, we will live with you tonight." ”

After a while, an old voice came from inside.

"Oh, it's Zhou Huai, you wait, I'll open the door for you. ”

Finally, with the sound of a deadbolt pulling, the door suddenly opened, and a hunchbacked old man slowly walked out of it.

This old man has goosebumps, an old dragon clock, and it looks like a gust of wind can blow him down. At this time, he was on crutches in one hand and a lantern that was not very bright in the other, reflecting his bloodless face, which looked quite palpitating.

For a moment, most of the martial artists present were stunned. At this time, Zhou Huai stepped forward.

"Old Wen, I haven't seen you for the past few months, how are you doing? It looks like you're getting a lot older. ”

Wen Lao coughed, and a hint of pride suddenly appeared on his face.

"You kid, you're going to make fun of the old man. In quite a few years, 100,000 demon clans invaded Hemu Town, and the warriors present were all frightened. But I was dressed in a red robe and purple gold armor, holding two Xuanhua bright silver plate axes, and I entered the demon clan array alone. When you meet one and kill one, you meet two and kill a pair, and you will kill seven in and seven out, and there will be no daylight, and the blood will flow like a river.

When the warriors present heard this, they were all stunned.

At this time, Zhou Huai quietly turned around and smiled embarrassedly.

"Old Man Wen is a little confused, these are all made up by him, don't take it to heart. ”

Then, Zhou Huai turned around and said, "Old Wen, we have been tired all the way, and we are physically and mentally exhausted. Let's go in first. ”

Wen Lao's brows jumped, he stretched out his hand and patted his head.

"Look at my memory, I'm confused. Come on in, it's windy outside. ”

Wen Lao said, opening the door entirely.

Seeing this, everyone turned over and dismounted, and the fish rushed in.

At this moment, Huo Xiu suddenly asked, "Old Wen, I heard that you still have a few handymen here, why don't you see them, and you have to bother to open the door yourself?"

When Wen Lao heard this, his breathing suddenly stagnated. Soon, though, he rolled his eyes and laughed.

"It's been a quiet time, and there's not much going on in the station. Those young people couldn't bear the loneliness and went to Hemu Town to play. I guess I'll be back in two days. ”

Huo Xiu let out an "oh" and nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Qin Lie was also urging beside him.

"Huo Xiu, don't linger there. Hurry up and lead the horses to the stables in the backyard and remember to feed them fodder. Then you hurry to the lobby, we have something important to discuss. ”

Huo Xiu had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the carriage.

What Huo Xiu didn't know was that as soon as he turned around, Old Man Wen's originally kind eyes instantly turned gloomy, and a trace of cold light emerged from it.

It's just that the night is already very dark, and Wen Lao is very inconspicuous, and the warriors present have not noticed.
