Although the ship is large, the speed of the ship is not as good as that of ordinary ships. In addition, Miss Su often stopped the boat to check the store, and after four or five days, the boat entered Surabaya, close to the boundary of Xuzhou.

Xu Ziling and the others were ready to say goodbye to Gu Yue'er, the maid who went to Fuli County to pick up Mingxia. But I heard that Miss Su said that they would stay in Xuzhou City for three days, and if they could rush over within three days, they could still take their boat to Bianliang.

After the two thanked them repeatedly, they left the building boat and set off for Fuli County.

It was nearly October, the season of rice harvest, and the two walked along the mountain path for three or four hours, asked the farmer who was harvesting rice in the field for directions, and learned that they had entered the territory of Fuli County.

After walking for a while, passing by an inn, Xu Ziling saw that Mingxia was a little sleepy, so he stopped to prepare to eat something, and then hurried after a short rest.

The door of the inn was wide open, and there were only six or seven tables inside, and there were only Xiao Er and the shopkeeper in the store. There were not many guests in the barren mountains and mountains, and there were only two tables at this time.

The two found a free table and sat down, ordered some food, and were eating, when a group of strange people suddenly walked in at the door of the inn.

I saw six or seven people surrounded a middle-aged man with a short stature and a dark face, and walked loudly and laughing all the way to the inn. The man talked and laughed freely, with a calm bearing, and softly ordered a few people next to him to sit down.

There was also a tall black man with thick hair in the crowd, with a pair of plate axes pinned to his waist, because his body was too fat, he couldn't sit on the stool for a while, and pulled the stool back a foot, before he raised his legs and sat up, laughing dryly.

But I heard the man with the tattoo on his forehead next to him say: "Tie Niu, eat immediately, and put your axe aside." ”

The black man answered, smiled, and took the pair of axes from his waist and put them on the adjacent table and stool.

After that, Xiao Er put the wine and food on the table, and several people seemed to have gone all the way, and they immediately feasted.

Suddenly, a person held a bowl of wine, walked over to the man with the tattoo, and asked, "But Brother Song Gongming?" ”

The man who was eating put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, looked at the man modestly, and replied, "I am Song Jiang, I don't know what happened to my brother?" ”

The man said happily: "I have heard the name of Brother Song Gongming of Shandong Hubaoyi, but I have never seen it, but I didn't expect to meet it here, and I should pay tribute to my brother with a bowl of wine." With that, he raised his bowl and drank it all.

The man hurriedly arched his hand: "Song Jiang and his brother have never known each other, and the brother is so loving, which makes Song Jiang quite embarrassed." ”

The man stroked the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and replied: "Brother Gongming doesn't know, the villain's name is Zhou Wu, and he really hasn't had a grudge with his brother, but his brother Zhou Yu was able to return home because of his brother's great kindness." ”

The man named Song Jiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It turns out that my brother is the younger brother of Brother Zhou Yu, and that is my own brother." Why don't you pick up your meal and have a drink with my brothers? ”

Zhou Wu was immediately overjoyed: "That villain will bother my brother." ”

Suddenly, the black man at the table became impatient and said loudly: "You guy is so noisy, let you come over, you will come, and talk a lot." ”

The rest of the people immediately laughed, and Song Jiang also introduced to Zhou Wu with a smile: "Tie Niu is straightforward and fast-talking, there is no malice, brother doesn't have to care." ”

Zhou Wu nodded curtly, turned around to pack his things, and prepared to make a table with Song Jiang and the others.

Xu Ziling didn't know the relationship between Song Jiang and Liang Shan, and ate unhurriedly with Ming Xia. Although he had heard Song Jiang's name many times, he didn't know that he was so famous.

After a long time, seeing that Ming Xia had also finished eating, Xu Ziling suddenly thought of paying the bill, and said softly: "Ming Xia, that, that ......"

Ming Xia took out a handkerchief and gently brushed off the grease stains on her lips, and when she saw Xu Ziling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she suddenly cried and laughed: "Ziling, you don't want to eat overlord meals, do you?" ”

Xu Ziling glanced at the shop next to the wine cabinet that was serving wine for Song Jiang and a few people, and whispered to Ming Xia: "The store is busy greeting those guys, I let Chixiao take you, they will definitely not be able to catch up with us." ”

Eating the overlord meal for dozens of dollars, Ming Xia looked helpless, but still nodded.

And when the shopkeeper and Xiao Er saw Xu Ziling's appearance, they didn't think that they would not pay, so they didn't deliberately pay attention to them.

The inn is open during the day, and the doors are usually open. At this time, I suddenly heard the young man shouting: "Mingxia, hurry!" ”

Suddenly, a long sword floated at the door, a woman moved lightly, trotted a few steps on it, and the long sword flew out like a long rainbow through the sun. Then a figure flashed to the door and followed.

Everyone in the house was stunned for a long time, and listened to the shopkeeper crying: "These two people have such ability, they actually bullied a small shop in our barren mountains and mountains, and they have no face and no skin." ”

The store is also helpless, it is a small business, and there is nothing to do when encountering this kind of people.

The man named Song Jiang suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, I see that it is not easy for you to do business in this barren mountain and wilderness, and you will also settle the account of the man and woman on my head, and pay you together at that time." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "How does this make it." ”

But I heard the big black man shouting: "How can I not do it." My brother Gongming is benevolent and righteous, you accept it, so much nonsense. ”

Seeing the fierce appearance of the black man, the store hurriedly thanked him.

A few hundred meters away from the inn, Xu Ziling saw that no one was chasing after him, so he stopped and asked Chixiao to send Mingxia to the ground.

Ming Xia, who stepped on the ground, turned a little pale, and just stepped on the sword alone, her ears were galloping, and she thought she was going to fall down several times.

Seeing her frightened appearance, Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Ming Xia, don't worry, how could I let you get hurt, Chixiao and I have the same heart, and I will definitely not let you fall." ”

Ming Xia blushed: "It's too fast." I'm still a little scared. ”

Xu Ziling smiled, did not speak, and gently held her hand.

Ming Xia's face turned even redder, but she didn't break free.

The two of them walked on the road like this. After a long time, on the country road, which was less than five feet wide, several people approached the two of them.

Seeing the appearance of the people in front of her, Ming Xia's face changed suddenly, and she quickly lowered her head and held Xu Ziling's hand tightly.

Xu Ziling noticed Ming Xia's movements, looked at the three people not far away, and recognized two of them, one with five short statures, and one with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, it was Wang Ying and the man named Jin Hui.

The three of them were talking as they walked, not noticing Xu Ziling and the others. But I heard the red-haired man say: "This time, the brothers robbed the Dharma field to save Brother Gongming, so they lived happily." It's a shame I didn't wait. ”

The one-armed Wang Ying cried and said: "I want to go, but I can't do anything." ”

Jin Hui next to him comforted: "Brother Wang Ying, don't worry, there are brothers who have found out the news of Liu Jingsheng, it is said that he and one of the two women appeared in Fuli County that day, and later when we rushed there, we found that there was only the maid, and Liu Jingsheng did not know where to go." ”

Wang Ying looked at him viciously when he heard this: "And then? ”

Jin Hui continued: "Then we went and asked Wu Junshi, he told us not to act rashly, just follow the maid secretly, Liu Jingsheng and the others will definitely appear." ”

Wang Ying asked, "Why don't you catch that maid and interrogate her?" ”

Jin Hui smiled: "At that time, I also wanted to arrest that maid and let her taste the means of our waiting, when the time comes, how dare she not tell the whereabouts of Liu Jingsheng and the others." However, Wu Junshi said that she was just a maid, and she didn't know too much news, so it was better to secretly follow her and attract more talents. ”

At this time, Xu Ziling and the others walked past the three with their heads down.

The three of them also noticed the two of them and glanced at them casually. And because of Wang Ying's short stature, even if Xu Ziling and the two lowered their heads, they still let him see the side face clearly. Seeing the woman's beautiful side face and delicate posture, Wang Ying shouted: "Stop! ”

Xu Ziling and the others suddenly stopped, thinking that they were exposed.

But I heard Wang Ying say: "Brother Liu Tang, since I was injured, I have been smelling fishy for a long time, don't stop me, this little lady is so handsome and attractive, let me satisfy my cravings." ”

The red-haired man said angrily: "Brother Wang Ying, Brother Gongming has promised to find a good match for you, and you are stunned and have a lot to do." ”

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Brother Liu Tang, just this time." I've been lying in bed for more than ten days, and I'm really uncomfortable with the fire in my stomach. ”

The red-haired man looked at his one-armed appearance, felt pity, sighed, and said, "Okay, this is the only time, if you commit it again, don't blame me for going to Brother Gongming to sue you." ”

Xu Ziling came to his senses and was about to make a move, but he heard Wang Ying say: "Little lady, you will serve me to the satisfaction, I will leave this kid alive, otherwise I will chop him in front of you." ”

Xu Ziling sneered and turned around.

Jin Hui saw his face clearly at this time, and exclaimed, "It's him!" Liu Tang brothers, it was he who secretly attacked and assassinated Ruan Qi's brothers. ”

Wang Ying was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly retreated, only to see a sword glowing red flying towards him.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Liu Tang drew his sword and split the sword, and said, "I'll drag him, you two hurry up and catch the woman." With that, he rushed towards Xu Ziling with a knife.

Xu Ziling didn't care about Ming Xia, and clenched his fists to meet him. Liu Tang didn't dare to hold it up, he clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and secretly used his strength to slash it with a knife. The blade hit the fist, only to feel like splitting a mountain stone, and not an inch could be entered.

There is only one knife, but another pair of fists. Liu Tang frowned, but saw the young man's left arm cut a semicircle horizontally, and a fist slammed into his shoulder. hurriedly withdrew his right hand to block, but it was easy to take it. I felt the slight force on my right arm, and I suddenly felt bad.

The young man's left arm was just a feint, and the moment he made a block, the qi of his right arm suddenly poured out. The majestic aura came to his face, Liu Tang's left hand was difficult to support, the knife in his hand was instantly taken off, and it was hit by the Gang Qi and flew towards his face, and the back of the knife smashed between his eyebrows, inching deeper.

Liu Tang staggered back a few steps, but he stood firmly, only to feel that his eyes were full of gold stars, and his consciousness was not very clear. Before he could wake up, he received another heavy punch in the chest and flew out.

When Xu Ziling and Liu Tang were fighting, Wang Ying and Jin Hui hurriedly rushed towards Mingxia. was just about to get closer, but saw the red sword fly into Ming Xia's hand. The two stopped suddenly, Wang Ying had only his left arm, but he couldn't use a weapon, Jin Hui pulled out a short knife and held it in his hand, and slowly walked towards Ming Xia.

Ming Xia looked at the approaching two, and she was also anxious. Suddenly, Chixiao waved her hand wildly, and red light floated in front of her.

Wang Yingdeng was stunned, and he didn't know where to start for a while, although Jin Hui's hands were sound, but his martial arts were very low, and he didn't know what to do when he looked at the sword waving in front of him.

However, at the moment when the two hesitated, Xu Ziling and Liu Tang had already separated the winner and jumped towards the two. Jin Hui, who had not yet reacted, only felt a pain in his neck, and was directly blasted through his throat by the fist, and fell to the ground without a sound.

The sword in Ming Xia's hand also flew into the hand that blasted through Jin Hui's throat in an instant, and as the hand swept over, it cut the throat of Wang Ying, who was in a stupor.
