Lin Xiao and his party of sixteen people and a dog led the horse slowly, and encountered a small team of soldiers to investigate, He Shouxin hurriedly stepped forward to show the dart game waist card, and secretly stuffed a silver ingot, perfunctory.

All the way to the west gate of the county near the riverside of a street, found a hanging "guest blessing" guise inn, entered the door to have a small two reception, asked for three rooms in the backyard, one shop.

Xiao Er opened the guest room diligently, served hot water for washing, and prepared drinks and dishes in the lobby downstairs on the façade, while other handymen led the horses into the stables and arranged forage.

Lin Xiao arranged for Feng Suqin's master and servant to live in a separate upper room, Yu Cheng accompanied Qu and Zhang to live in another room to take care of, He Shouxin, Qin Shuya, and Situ Zheng stayed in the next room to be responsible for the safety of the guest room, Lin Xiao led the rest of the people to stay in the Chase Shop, responsible for the perimeter guard, and Yu Cheng's two entourages volunteered to stay in the stable, accompanying Ah Huang to guard the horses.

After washing up, everyone went to the lobby to eat, Yu Cheng stayed in the upper room to take care of Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun, and Feng Suqin's master and servant also stayed in the guest room, and Xiao Er delivered the food to the room.

There were almost no people eating in the lobby, Lin Xiao and his party sat at two tables, the food was quite refreshing, and it tasted good except for being a little spicy.

Lin Xiao had a very bad premonition from the eyes of the Qing soldiers just now, worried that tonight would not be peaceful, and if he didn't drink, the brothers wouldn't drink, and after eating some food, he went back to the backyard, but Mo Yuanwei and the two Yu Cheng's entourage soldiers slowly drank rice wine to relieve their fatigue, and Lin Xiao didn't mind, sitting on the side and listening to them chat.

Mo Yuanwei drank wine and beckoned Xiao Er to come forward and inquire about the garrison of the Qing soldiers here, and after listening to this, Lin Xiao asked Xiao Er for a piece of bacon jerky and brought it back to the courtyard to feed Ah Huang.

Along the way, Lin Xiao and this guy had a hot fight, pampering it from time to time, training it, and already feeling its dog temper, this arrogant guy seems to have been completely tamed by Lin Xiao, and now Lin Xiao seems to be half of its master.

Squatting aside and watching Ah Huang finish gnawing on the jerky, touching its head and telling it to keep guard, Lin Xiao went back to the guest room to visit Qu Zhang and the others.

Entering the guest room, Yu Cheng was talking to Zhang Tongchang, Zhang Tongchang was not only physically injured, but also very concerned about his wife who was still living alone in Guilin City, afraid of being affected, when Yu Cheng told him that he had been arranged by Yu Gui to be taken out of the city that afternoon, and rushed to Qinzhou alone with Yu Cheng's family, he was very grateful, and Lin Xiao came in, so he was very grateful.

Lin Xiao didn't know about this, and after careful questioning, he knew that it was all arranged by Yu Cheng, so he was impressed by Yu Cheng, and felt that this person not only had a good martial arts character, but also was very careful and strategic.

Qu Shiyun asked about the whereabouts of his cronies Jiao Lian (Zi Ruiting), the old Xuanguo Gong of the Qing Army, why the private message fell into the hands of Kong Youde, Yu Cheng told him in 1510 that Jiao Lian was originally stationed in Pingle, and the messenger soldier sneaked out of Guilin to deliver the letter under the pretext of encountering the Qing army Ma Jiaolin's attack to Pingle, Jiao Lian's soldiers were few and defeated, and they were defeated and retreated all the way to the south.

After listening to the sigh, Qu Shiyun suddenly exclaimed, and said suddenly: "Ruiting's life is in danger!" ”

Lin Xiao asked anxiously why, Qu Shiyun sighed and said: "Ruiting's defeat and retreat to Xunjiang this time is to enter the boundary of Xunzhou, and the area of Wuzhou east of Xunzhou has all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and Liuzhou has been besieged again, Ruiting has no way out, so he can only go to Xunzhou to guard the general Qingguo Chen Bangchuan." ”

"Then Xunzhou is still in the hands of Chen Bangchuan, how can his life be in danger?" Lin Xiao said in confusion.

Qu Shiyun then informed Lin Xiao of the original reason, it turned out that Chen Bang, the Duke of Qingguo, was originally a son of a rich family in Shaoxing, and when he was young, he bribed the martial arts, because he was good at drilling camps to meet and welcome, and the official was a general, and then because of the erosion of the situation, he was given the title of Qingguo Duke because of the military power in his hands.

In the third year of Yongli, the Qing army invaded Guilin, Chen Bangchuan defended Pingle County but fled without a fight, so that Guilin was besieged, and then Jiao Lian led the troops to fight a bloody battle, which kept Guilin.

Jiao Lian's army suffered heavy casualties for this, and his relied on the general Bai Gui also died tragically, and after his death, he was cremated and had several liters of arrows, Jiao Lian hated it to the bone, and asked to kill Chen Bangchuan, and the two became enemies since then.

This time Jiao Lian was desperate and defected to Chen Bangchuan, and it was better to say that the Qing army did not pursue it, once the Qing army pressed the border, Chen Bangchuan would behead Jiao Lian to sacrifice the city to surrender to the Qing.

Lin Xiao was also anxious when he heard this, and Yu Cheng added that Jiao Lian, whose name is Ruiting, is the only remaining general under Inspector Qu who can fight well.

This person began to be promoted from a small colonel to a general and the governor of the left capital by virtue of his military merits, and was given the title of Duke Xuanguo, loyal and brave, and rescued Guilin in danger several times, and was nicknamed "Zhao Zilong of Nanming".

Later, because Bai Gui, the three most powerful generals under him, was killed in battle, and Zhao Xing and Liu Qijiao were beheaded due to internal fighting with the Dian army, Jiao Lian's forces were greatly weakened from then on, otherwise they would not have fallen to this.

Lin Xiao sighed when he heard this, and secretly thought about whether there was a suitable time to rescue Jiao Lian.

Everyone was talking in the room, Ah Huang in the courtyard suddenly roared manically, Lin Xiao ran out of the room when he heard the sound, and heard a faint noise coming from the lobby in front of him, and then He Shouxin hurried to report the situation, it turned out that the Qing army was looking for something.

The patrol Qing soldiers who were checking on the street just now were Fu Nengjun's subordinates, and the general name of the leader was Wang Er Donkey, because he saw that Lin Xiao and his party had horses, men and women, old and young, holding sharp weapons and behaving strangely, and several of them were dressed as soldiers, so they were suspicious.

Wang Erdonkey secretly sent someone to follow, and saw that these people entered the "Kefuju" before going back to report, Wang Erdonkey's boss was a thousand general manager named Lou Laoqi, after listening to Wang Erdonkey's advice, he asked casually: "In your opinion, do these people have oil and water?" ”

"The little ones saw that there were more than 10 of them but there were about 20 horses, some of the horses had bags on their backs, and some of the horses were tied with long stick-like objects, which were very suspicious, and the small ones suspected that they were bandits."

"I asked you if you had any oil and water? Your mother's less is pulling me around. "Lou Laoqi has no interest in suppressing bandits at all except for money and food.

"Yes, yes," Wang Erdonkey stretched out his hand and took out a silver ingot from his chest, "This is what they honored the little one just now, and the little one honored the boss." ”

"There must be oil and water in their baggage, and there are a few chicks, who look good and are smart, not to mention how peugeot they are." Wang Erdonkey smiled lewdly and flattered.

Co-authored this beast is worried about Feng Suqin and them.

"Count your mother's son as filial, go, take a look. Lao Tzu warns you kid, those chicks, if you really have the strength of the mother, it won't be your turn to be a kid, and Lao Tzu has to honor Lord Dusi. ”

Lou Laoqi checked the silver in his hand, about ten taels, and estimated that the person who was so generous was either a rich family fleeing, or a family member of a former Ming official, just to get a vote.

Lou Laoqi immediately gathered forty or fifty soldiers under his command, and went to the "Kefuju" inn with great momentum, knocked open the door of the lobby, and saw three guests in military attire drinking and chatting by candlelight.

Mo Yuanwei and others were shocked to see the Qing army surrounding, and immediately drew their swords to each other, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

"Who are you? What about the rest? ”

"That's right! Where's the little? Hand it over and you'll not die! Wang Erdonkey followed behind Lou Laoqi and echoed.

"Lao Tzu is passing by, you don't want to cause trouble, you want to find trouble, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is not vegetarian." Mo Yuanwei is a thousand households in the Ming army, one side is garrisoned, and he is usually arrogant, how can he look down on these fake dogs, and he is arrogant at the moment.

"Who is your special mother? I think you're a bandit pretending to be an official soldier! Lou Laoqi shouted viciously: "Brothers, tie up Lao Tzu." ”

"I see who dares to touch my people!"

The minions were about to start, and Lin Xiao, who was dressed in a green shirt, appeared at the back door of the lobby, and said coldly, the voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, with a cold breath that penetrated into the bone marrow.
