Xiangzhou is located in the north of Bianjing and south of Zhenxingfu.

Although it is not as prosperous as places like Bianjing and Zhenxingfu, it is also a must-pass fortress between the two places, and there is an endless stream of people from all walks of life who pass through Xiangzhou to stop here.

At this moment, in a small restaurant on the bustling street of Xiangzhou, a man is holding a wine glass and pouring himself a drink with a calm expression.

The man's surname is Yue, his name is Xin, and his words are always loyal.

Originally, the purpose of his return to Xiangzhou was to think that after the imperial court sent troops to Liangzhou, he would go to the Xiangzhou military camp to join the army, because when the imperial court dispatched soldiers and horses, the standing army in these places would definitely bear the brunt of being sent, if he had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, he would also have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this was the only expectation of his old mother in his family, which was also what he pursued for so many years of martial arts.

But a sudden incident disrupted all his thoughts and affected his safety now.

This matter has to start with Rong County two months ago.

Two months ago, after Rong County bid farewell to Zhang Xiang, Yue Changzhong originally planned to leave Rong County after Dugu Liuying detoxified him.

But on the day of the detoxification, after saying goodbye to his friends Han Guangyi and Zhang Zhao, another friend Tao Lin came to him, saying that he wanted to hunt down Zhang Xiang, and had already made an appointment with several like-minded friends in the rivers and lakes.

Tao Lin's words made Yue Changzhong very surprised, he didn't expect Tao Lin to be such a person who didn't know right from wrong, although Zhang Xiang's father was a minister of the country (jiān), it had nothing to do with Zhang Xiang himself, Zhang Xiang's good deeds in Rong County were obvious to all, he didn't understand why Tao Lin wanted to kill Zhang Xiang.

But after thinking about it carefully, he also understood that Tao Lin wanted to kill Zhang Xiang first, and the second was that he wanted to kill Yuan Shen, a member of the Demon Sect.

He wants to make a name for himself.

So, Yue Changzhong did not agree, firstly, he already understood Zhang Xiang's character, secondly, Yuan Shen was the one who protected Zhang Xiang, even if it was a demon of the Snow God Sect, he would not kill Yuan Shen at this time, and thirdly, Yuan Shen's martial arts were strong, and it was impossible to kill them with just a few of them.

In Yue Changzhong's opinion, this is a meaningless thing at all, so after rejecting Tao Lin, the two parted ways, Tao Lin went to chase and kill Zhang Xiang, and Yue Changzhong chose another way to go north.

But after leaving Rongxian Liang (rì), he met Hu Rong, who knew that this Hu Rong was also one of the people who was chasing Zhang Xiang, and he rescued Hu Rong when he was slightly injured.

Hu Rong told him that Tao Lin and his group had all died in the woods, and he originally wanted to lure Yuan Shen away and let Tao Lin and others take the opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiang (shēn) to suddenly have more Lin Feihong, although Tao Lin and the others killed Zhang Xiang's family and guards, but they still let Zhang Xiang escape, Yuan Shen chased him for a while, and did not continue to chase after beating him lightly, but turned back to the woods and killed the rest of the people, and Tao Lin and Wei Wuyi, who chased Zhang Xiang, were beheaded by Lin Feihong.

After listening to Hu Rong's words, Yue Changzhong was also sad from his heart, and he could only feel sorry for Tao Lin.

Then he asked Hu Rong to take him to find Tao Lin's body, but when the two returned to the woods, the corpses in the woods had all been burned to ashes, and then went to find the place where Tao Lin and Wei Wuyi were killed, and the bodies were also burned.

Yue Changzhong found a box, symbolically (xìng) grabbed some ashes, and went north with Hu Rong.

After a month's journey, the two arrived in Shunzhou.

The two said goodbye in Shunzhou, Hu Rong went to Penghu Eighteen Villages, although Penghu Eighteen Villages is a grass den, but everyone has their own ambitions, Hu Rong wants to go there, Yue Changzhong has nothing to say.

Then Yue Changzhong found Tao Lin's home, Tao Lin also has a wife and seven-year-old son in Shunzhou, he handed Tao Lin's ashes to Tao Lin's wife, and said the cause and effect briefly before leaving, at that time Tao Lin's wife Myolie Hu was sad (yù) and wanted to find an explanation, Yue Changzhong had no way to take her, only said that Hu Rong was one of the parties, if she wanted to find a statement, she could go to Penghu Eighteen Villages to find Hu Rong to ask.

Yue Changzhong was originally a prevarication, but how could she have thought that Myolie Wu really went to Penghu Eighteen Villages to find Hu Rong, Hu Rong told Myolie Hu about the gathering of rivers and lakes in Rong County (qíng), saying that it was Dugu Liuying and Yue Changzhong who rescued Zhang Xiang in Rong County at that time, which caused Zhang Xiang to leave, and Tao Lin chased and killed (shēn) to death, if there was no Dugu Liuying and Yue Changzhong to speak for Zhang Xiang at that time, Zhang Xiang would have died in Rong County that night, and these things would not have happened (qíng).

Myolie Wu indirectly regarded Yue Changzhong and Dugu Liuying as Zhang Xiang's accomplices, Zhang Xiang was far away in Pingzhou, and she couldn't find Dugu Liuying, so she could only find Yue Changzhong to avenge her husband, and I don't know what method Myolie Wu used, she actually invited Ran Biao, the owner of Ranjiazhuang, the eighteenth village in Penghu.

Half a month ago, Yue Changzhong, who had just returned to Xiangzhou, had just pushed open the door, and the old mother of the family was hanged at home.

Subsequently, Myolie Wu and Ran Biao blocked him with people, and he knew that Myolie Wu did not hesitate to be Ran Biao's wife in order to avenge Tao Lin, and took Ran Biao to Xiangzhou to seek revenge.

Yue Changzhong laughed angrily at the time, scolded Myolie Wu, a woman who would take revenge, and then desperately fled from the house with his mother's body.

After burying his mother, Yue Changzhong inquired about the inn where Myolie Wu and Ran Biao and others lived, and one night, he sneaked into the inn and stabbed Myolie Wu, a woman (jiàn), to death in the inn, and then fought with Ran Biao, this Ran Biao's strength was not inferior to him, after a long battle, someone in the inn also reported to the official, Yue Changzhong saw that the situation was not good, and he could only retreat temporarily.

After that, he killed Myolie Wu in the inn, and also became a wanted criminal in the Xiangzhou government, he hid, and hid until now, he is strong in martial arts, and grew up in Xiangzhou since he was a child, he is very familiar with Xiangzhou, and wants to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the government, it is easy to be able to drink in the restaurant at this time.

Ran Biao and the others are still in Xiangzhou, he can't leave for the time being, he has to kill Ran Biao to avenge his old mother, so he can leave Xiangzhou.

Now that he has become a wanted criminal in the Xiangzhou government, it is impossible to enter the military camp, as for where to go next, he has not yet thought about it, what he wants to do most now is to kill Ran Biao first.

A pot of wine quickly bottomed out, Yue Changzhong poked his head over, and looked at the officials patrolling the street, his expression was still calm.

After a while, a man who looked like a servant went up to the restaurant, came to him, whispered a few words in his ear, he nodded, took out a tael of silver and gave it to the little servant.

This little guy was found by him to inquire about Ran Biao's residence, and now he is wanted by the Xiangzhou government, and he was also arrested by the government with a reward of 100 taels of silver, so it is not easy to come forward to find out the news, so he can only secretly ask someone to do it for him.

Although Ran Biao is the leader of the Eighteen Villages of Penghu, these officials in Xiangzhou have never seen Ran Biao at all, so they don't know him, Ran Biao also pretended to be a businessman, Myolie Wu is his wife, and the two came to Xiangzhou as husband and wife (shēn). After he killed Myolie Wu, Ran Biao sued the wicked first and told the government that Yue Changzhong wanted to force his wife Myolie Wu, but his wife did not obey, so Yue Changzhong killed his wife.

As a result, this Ran Biao was also sheltered by the government and was arranged in an inn closest to the government, guarded by the officers and soldiers of the government.

What this little guy brought was the news of the inn where Ran Biao is living now.

After receiving the silver from Yue Changzhong, the little servant nodded and called 'master' one by one, and then turned (shēn) and left.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sound of 'clicking' pedals from the stairs of the restaurant, and then a team of officers and soldiers quickly ran up.

The little guy who had just walked to the top of the stairs greeted the officers and soldiers led by him, suddenly turned (shēn), pointed at Yue Changzhong and said, "Official, it's him, he's Yue Changzhong, the murderer." ”

The officers and soldiers who led them waved their hands backwards violently, and then the officers and soldiers of the group held their big knives and pounced on Yue Changzhong.

Yue Changzhong's face was pale, and he quickly picked up the spear on the table, and swept away the officers and soldiers who rushed up, and directly kicked the guardrail of the restaurant with a vertical (shēn), and jumped onto the street.

"Kill..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, there were officers and soldiers guarding the restaurant, and a team of officers and soldiers quickly surrounded him, and Yue Changzhong quickly got up (shēn) and brandished his spear.

In the face of these officers and soldiers, he did not kill them, but repelled one after another, opened a gap, and quickly fled, rushing all the way through Xiangzhou City, running left and right for nearly half an hour and escaping into an alley, only then stopped, and sat on a stone step, panting and closing his eyes.

It's really unpredictable, who would have thought that the little guy would actually bring officers and soldiers to arrest him, and only after receiving the silver from him did those officers and soldiers suddenly come out.

Yue Changzhong rested for a while, and after recovering some strength, he walked out of the alley with a spear.

He walked all the way to a small river, washed his face, drank some water, and then found a cool tree (yīn) and sat down for several hours.

In the evening, when night fell, Yue Changzhong got up again (shēn) and returned to the streets of Xiangzhou with his spear.

He followed the location given by the little guy before and came to the inn where Ran Biao lived near the yamen.

The inn was indeed guarded by officers and soldiers, and it was also tightly guarded, and everyone who entered and exited had to be checked, and it was almost impossible to enter the inn and kill Ran Biao.

Fortunately, there were several small teahouses opposite the inn, and Yue Changzhong walked into one of the teahouses with a good view, asked for a cup of tea, and sat quietly and waited.

After waiting for a while, he didn't wait for Ran Biao to come out, but someone he didn't expect came out, that is, the little guy who was in the restaurant at noon.

When the little guy came out of the inn, he still had a silver bag in his hand, and his face was full of smiles, and he opened the silver bag and looked inside, as if he was counting how much silver was inside.

Yue Changzhong's eyes (yīn) were gloomy, his face was terrifyingly calm, he took the tea in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, then put a few tea money, took a spear, and followed behind the little guy.

The little guy walked down the street, swaying as he walked, and seemed to be very happy, and humming a little song from time to time.

Yue Changzhong calmly followed him, hanging a few dozen steps (shēn) from a distance, because there were many passers-by on the street, he was not easy to do, and the little guy naturally couldn't find him.

After following the little guy for a while, the little guy turned into a dark alley.

The little song he hummed didn't stop, and he echoed (dàng) in the dark alley.

It's just that because the alley is too quiet, after walking for a while, the little guy suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and glanced behind him sharply, but he didn't see anything.

The little guy thought for a while, but he didn't know what he thought, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed, and he quickly quickened his pace, and he didn't dare to sing a little song anymore.

It's just that he sped up his pace, and suddenly found that two shadows appeared under his (shēn), and the little guy screamed and ran directly.

The shadow chased after him, keeping the same distance from him.

Suddenly, there was a hunting sound on his head, and the little man stopped, looked up, and at this sight, his legs suddenly collapsed in fright, and on the eaves on the left, a figure with a spear ignored him, and one of the pieces of silver under himself (shēn) came to this person.

The little guy recognized this person as Yue Changzhong at a glance, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, and was about to run away.

Yue Changzhong jumped directly in front of him with a vertical (shēn), and with a stretch of his spear, he pushed it against his neck.

"Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life..."The little girl's urine was instantly frightened and flowed down from between her legs, and she knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and kept kowtowing to him: "Uncle spare your life, the little one knows it's wrong, the little one is also forced to do so, the little one has an eighty-year-old mother, and the one has ..."

"What are you doing at Ran Biao's inn?" Yue Changzhong's tone was indifferent.

"I..." The little guy just hesitated, and suddenly let out a heart-rending scream, it turned out that Yue Changzhong pierced his thigh without hesitation.

The blood flowed, accompanied by a smell of urine (sāo), and the little girl cried and cried for her mother, and her body trembled violently.

Yue Changzhong said indifferently again: "If you dare to say a lie, I will not keep you." ”

"I say, I say." The little girl's voice trembled, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all: "The little one went to the inn to see Ran Biao, you asked the little one about Ran Biao's residence, Ran Biao is also looking for someone to inquire about your whereabouts, and the little one is going to tell Ran Biao about your whereabouts." ”

"(jiān) thief villain, while earning my reward silver, also earning the reward silver of the government, and also going to earn Ran Biao's reward silver, you pour (tǐng) will do business, one thing makes you make three transactions, what is the use of people like you staying in the world?"

Yue Changzhong scolded angrily, and then stabbed Xiao Guy's mouth (xiōng), Xiao Guy grabbed the spear with both hands, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, stared at Yue Changzhong deadly, and then lay down, motionless.

Yue Changzhong glanced at his corpse coldly, squatted down and searched out the money bag on his (shēn), and walked away.

A few crows flew through the sky, their 'quack' cries crude and hoarse.

It wasn't until the night was getting darker that Yue Changzhong found a small shop that had not yet closed, cut five catties of cooked beef (ròu) and two catties of wine, and returned to the big tree by the river again.

He didn't dare to stay in the inn, his home was also guarded by the government, since he killed someone and became a wanted criminal, those neighbors and friends he had known since he was a child were afraid to avoid him, and they didn't dare to contact him, and some people even wanted to arrest him for the government's reward. So since these (rì) children, he can only live here, the weather is warm, even if he lives in the wild, there is no problem, but there are more mosquitoes, which makes people a little irritable.

Yue Changzhong bit the cow (ròu) and poured a big gulp of wine into his mouth, the evening breeze by the river was slightly cool, and in just two months, his face was a lot haggard...
