Because this village is located at the junction of Jizhou and Sanjin, the scale is not small, and there are even a few decent shops in the conspicuous street position. At a cursory glance, there is no shortage of inns, liquor stores, and inns, and it is obvious that what is earned is the silver of merchants and freight teams.

It's just that recently, the Huayu mainland has been full of smoke, and the trade routes in various places are not very accessible, and the small village where they are connected by the two roads has completely cut off the main employment. It was originally a huge village, but now there are no foreign merchants coming and going, and only the villagers of this village are left, which looks very deserted......

Since the village chief secretly passed the word, no one followed the Lu family father and son anymore. As soon as the two entered the village, they saw a two-story inn with a bright banner at the door. Old Lu Zhutou looked around, and saw that the nearby shops were closed, so he handed the reins in his hand to Lu Fang and said:

"Let's go in, let the men serve the horses, and one of them will drink two or two more to relieve fatigue, and then two bowls of noodles; If there is meat, call it a little, and the oil and water will be more solid; We will eat and drink enough today, sleep well, and continue to rush tomorrow. ”

"Got it, Dad! You...... Go to the thatched house? ”

"What hut to go to? We handled the case in a strange place, don't you know how to carefully explore the terrain first? In case you are "nested" in the store by thieves, you don't know where to run! You kid...... Compared with when I was young, the worse is not half a star, and there is still practice! ”

"Yes, your old man is very experienced, I'd better go in and eat noodles, I'm ......"

Xiao Lu Zhutou hummed a small tune nonchalantly, and handed the two fast horses to the young man who greeted the guests outside the door; Then he raised his legs and walked into the front hall of the inn, and looked around.

The foyer of this inn is small, with a total of eight tables; Although the second floor is full of guest rooms, it is not very popular at the moment. In the front hall, except for the shopkeeper who was sighing and fiddling with calculations, there was only a young man left, dozing off the pillar; In the corner, there was a young man with a little dust on his body, sitting by the window and bowing his head to eat noodles.

At this time, the night is dark, and the illuminated candles are swaying along the breeze of the summer night......

Xiao Lu Zhutou coughed lightly, bowed to the shopkeeper who had just run out from behind the cabinet to welcome the guests, and said with a smile:

"You work hard, please give two upper rooms, pour four taels of good wine, and serve two bowls of noodles; If you have meat, serve it on ......."

After ordering the food, Xiao Lu Zhutou put the long bag on the table and made a sound. In the afterglow, Lu Fang saw the man who was eating noodles with his head down, his movements stopped slightly, and his heart suddenly spun quickly......

Most of the owners who will patronize this kind of inn are merchants who cherish time and money, or dart masters who eat a lot of food; Therefore, the food sold to them is also fast, cheap, and large in quantity. After hand-rolling the dough with cold water and applying a layer of grease, it will not lump; As soon as the guest officer called outside, the kitchen was directly put into the pot, and the hot water was soaked and scooped up to be a bowl. So Xiao Lu Zhutou had just sat down for a while, and the shopkeeper brought out two large bowls of steaming lo noodles:

"Wait a minute, the young man has poured wine in the backyard, you can use it slowly."

After saying that, the shopkeeper nodded and smiled, and went back to the counter to continue settling accounts.

Xiao Lu Zhutou coughed lightly, picked up the coarse porcelain bowl with his left hand, took out two chopsticks from the chopstick cage with his right hand, stood up while mixing noodles, and slowly sat down opposite the man, and spoke up familiarly:

"Brother is also from Waifu, right? Who's who? ”

The slightly chubby man didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes, smiled and pointed to his mouth, and waved his hand again, indicating that he was dumb.

"Oh, I can't speak......"

Xiao Lu Zhutou was bored and picked a chopstick noodle, and just when he was about to eat it, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Liu Zhi!"

The man subconsciously raised his head, and his heart sank at the same time. He understands that his reaction has fallen into the trap of the other party, and his identity will inevitably be revealed! So, without saying a word, he poked out his palm and went straight to Lu Xiangmen to shoot it!

The official breaks the ten roads, and deception is one of the common methods used by people in the government; Those ruffians who are used to the court don't eat this set at all! But Rao is because Liu Zhi has been adrift in the rivers and lakes for two years, but because his background is too "high", his mind and temperament are relatively simple, and he has never been in a lawsuit in his life, let alone has any intersection with people with official status.

The level of martial arts cultivation is not directly related to the depth of personal experience. Therefore, Liu Zhi was naturally shocked by Lu Fang's ordinary deception.

But from Lu Fang's point of view, until his current position, he couldn't guess the identity of the other party. The reason for this deception was only that when he put the knife just now, he noticed the man's abnormal movement. He thinks that the other party has seen that he is hiding a terrible guy in his baggage, and he is likely to be a Jianghu person; So I also want to try it first, and then ask him about Liu Zhi's traces.

So before Lu Fang shouted, although he was already on guard in his heart, he still underestimated his opponent; And the effect of his deception was much beyond his expectations......

Now when Lu Fang saw the other party's shoulders shaking, he knew that he was "asking the right person"! So he held the bowl of noodles in his left hand and smashed it straight into the other's temple; The right hand is protected by the back of the hand, and the two chopsticks stained with noodles are between the fingers, and the palm of the flesh is straight and straight towards the other party.

Xiao Lu catches the head worthy of the family history, and the exercises are pure! Although he has no knife in his hand now, he still relies on that intelligence and agility to quickly take the most correct way to deal with it! He wanted to take advantage of the other party's strength to throw himself into the net, and used chopsticks to pierce his palm out of a "crossing" ......

However, he overlooked a very important issue. This slightly chubby man is not just a Jianghu person who knows the news, but Liu Zhi himself! And Liu Zhi's best martial arts is a "big open tablet" from Nanquan Zen Buddhism......

With just two chopsticks, how can he endure it?

In the blink of an eye, the "iron sand palm trick" often used by the people of the rivers and lakes to deceive people was staged in this inn.

Liu Zhi pushed forward with his right palm, his eyes were indifferent, and Gujing had no waves, with an indomitable momentum, he hit the two chopsticks straight!

The material of these two chopsticks is ordinary, whether it is Liu Zhi or Lu Fang, it can be easily broken. But there is a prerequisite for this to be done, it must be new chopsticks taken out of the chopstick cage!

And the two chopsticks in Lu Fang's hand have been stained with the oil soup in the noodle marinade, and the middle and lower sections are already slippery! Therefore, under Liu Zhi's big opening hand, these two greasy chopsticks went straight to Lu Fang's fingers and went straight to the mouth where he was shouting and lifting his breath......

Burst!

The noodles with four front teeth and a chopstick pierced the back of Lu Fang's head directly! A white skull splinter pierced the scalp and swirled into the broken doorframe......

Liu Zhi raised a palm and killed the golden knife to catch Lu Fang; Then, without saying a word, he picked up his broken baggage and walked out of the window, hiding in the vast night......

In fact, when it comes to the true skills of both sides, it is not difficult for Liu Zhi to defeat Lu Fang; But the two sides must at least take a few dozen moves before Lu Fang will show his defeat; It's just that in Lu Fang's heart, he didn't take full precautions at all; In addition, his skills are all practiced on the knife! And the gold-handled official knife happened to be placed on his desktop, and he didn't carry it with him.

So, with mental calculation or unintentional, as soon as the two sides fought together, life and death were already clear.

It's too late, it's too soon! The shopkeeper and the young man of the inn saw the handsome young man with a kind face, holding a noodle bowl to get close to the little fat man; The two of them only said a word or two, and then they suddenly shouted, and the other party slapped him to death with one palm!

For these two honest villagers, seeing the "red and white" dripping all over the ground with their own eyes scared that they couldn't even control their bodies! The throats and eyes of the two are also blocked, and their brains are also wooden; I can't remember anything other than holding my head and closing my eyes, curled up in a ball......

At this moment, Lao Lu had just walked out of the back alley; All he could hear was the sound of wood breaking from the side of the inn; As soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately shook off the furoshiki, revealing the embossed dragon pattern and golden official knife......

However, by the time he walked into the shop with great caution and saw the familiar corpse in the corner, it was already too late......

Lao Lu, who lost his beloved son, hugged his son who died in the line of duty, trembling vigorously; He didn't have tears, he couldn't make a sound, he just hugged his son sluggishly, and the hoop became tighter and tighter......

At this moment, a breeze of a summer night, blowing into the inn through the window hole, gently brushed Lao Lu's face, and woke the old catcher from his bone-chilling grief! He forcibly held his mind, stepped forward and pulled up the shopkeeper whose trousers were soaked, and asked viciously:

"What about the murderer?"

The shopkeeper has long been unable to hold his breath, and his mind is on the verge of collapse. Although the whole person is now being dragged up by Lao Lu's neck, his body still keeps sliding down......

However, the index finger of his right hand unconsciously pointed at the broken window......

Lao Lu didn't say a word, threw down the innkeeper, and jumped out of the gap. At this moment, no matter what the other party's identity is or how strong his martial arts are, it doesn't matter to Lao Lu, who has lost his beloved son!

Either you will cut the enemy with a thousand knives, or you will go after your son on the Huangquan Road, it's no big deal!

At the same time, the head of the regimental training instructor who patrolled the village was discussing the identity of the Sipin Jingguan with the villagers; From the direction of the official road in the dark night, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves......

Summer nights are always dark and very late; It's not completely dark at the moment, but visibility isn't high; The villagers at the entrance of the village looked at it with empty eyes, and saw a person and a horse, slowly approaching the entrance of the village......
