At dawn, when the sky was revealing a touch of fish belly white, Chao Gai and his party rode horses, followed by two carriages, out of Yanggu County, all the way to the north, and went away.

Last night, Ximen Qing ordered people to set fire to Wu Dalang's courtyard, Chao Gai and others did not stop, and then simply rushed directly to Ximen Qing's mansion.

It happened that Ximen Qing was in pain and died, Xun Langzhong put some medicine powder on him and bandaged his fingers, just lay down, and saw that his door was brutally kicked open, Ximen Qing didn't see the person clearly, and was suddenly punched by Wu Song, and the panda eyes were printed.

Seeing that it was actually the people who had cut off their fingers before, Ximenqing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He had sent so many family members to set fire to them and burn them alive, not wanting these people to appear in front of him intact.

didn't have time to think about it at all, Ximenqing suddenly cried and begged for mercy. As the saying goes, the richer a person is, the more afraid of death, this Ximen Qing knows that Chao Gai and others in front of him will definitely not easily turn over him, and he promises all kinds of compensation, and promises to change his past, and suddenly the prodigal son suddenly turns back, if it weren't for Chao Gai and others to know this person's heart, I am afraid they have been deceived by the guy in front of them.

In the end, this Ximen Qing was beaten to death by Wu Song's iron fist. Ximen Qing was killed, and suddenly the entire Ximen family seemed to explode, and those servants immediately scattered and began to flee for their lives. Chao Gai and the others directly loaded two carriages, and then sprinkled the remaining money directly on the street, and now they have no time, so they can only use this way to "help" the people.

Of course, overnight, the Ximen family and Wu Dalang's family were all burned to ashes, and Ximen Qing died. That Ximen Qing is a well-known rich family in this county, and he was slaughtered by someone in this night, and he doesn't know who the other party has a grudge with.

Just about to order his subordinates to quickly summon Wu Song, the head of the capital, to investigate the case, he was told that Wu Song had been missing, and Wu Dalang, who was burned to ashes, was Wu Song's family.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhixian was so angry that he was about to explode: You said that it was not good for you Ximenqing to offend anyone, but you went to offend Na Wusong! That person is a very ruthless person, even himself, he is a little afraid, not to mention that you are a small rich man? What's more, at present, all of Ximenqing's family wealth has already been "divided" by those people, but he hasn't even drunk a little soup! It's really unlucky!

That kind of character, that is, he is now sending troops to chase him, that is, he has caught up, and that soldier dares to step forward to arrest him?

Chao Gai and the others naturally didn't know that Zhang Zhixian was in a hurry, Chao Gai, Xu Guanzhong, Lin Chong, and Wu Song were riding horses, Wu Dalang and Jiao Ting were setting up a carriage, and Meng Hu was setting up another carriage alone. As for Pan Jinlian, she couldn't ride a horse, so Chao Gai had no choice but to take her forward.

After walking for a long time, they all felt a little hungry and thirsty in their mouths. At this time, there is no place for people on both sides, all hills and barren fields, and the dead branches and leaves on the roadside seem to have not rained for a long time, and the trunks have long since decayed for too long, leaving only the empty trunks, and even the trunks are covered with black spots one by one.

Although the weather was not very hot, it was tossed all night last night, and by noon, everyone couldn't help but feel a little tired. Especially that Pan Jinlian, although Chao Gai took her to drive the horse forward, but because she rode the same horse with Chao Gai, the bodies of the two couldn't help but touch, Pan Jinlian felt Chao Gai's burly body and warm breath, and her body couldn't help but be tense all the time.

After all, since she was a child, Pan Jinlian had never had such close contact with that man. Pan Jinlian's back was close to Chao Gai's warm and broad chest, and she was suddenly a little shy, and her face flushed.

However, she did not dare to move too forward, and if she did, she was afraid that she would fall from her horse. Although even more so, the two thick arms of Chao Gai in front of her surrounded her and grabbed the reins of the horse, she didn't dare to hinder Chao Gai from driving the horse too much.

Moreover, in Pan Jinlian's mind, she couldn't help but recall the scene when Chao Gai rescued her before, when she was unusually attached to Chao Gai's warm embrace and strong chest, which seemed to give him an infinite sense of security. As soon as she thought of this, Pan Jinlian suddenly felt that her face was hot, but her body involuntarily leaned slightly against Chao Gai.

This is so as not to hinder him from driving the horse!

Well, that's it!

Pan Jinlian comforted herself like this in her heart.

"I don't know where this place is, but I can't find a roadside restaurant or tea shop!" , Wu Song had a dry mouth, looked at the somewhat bare hill and said.

"No way", Jiao Ting drove the carriage, his body was a little stiff, and he wanted to find a place to rest and move his muscles and bones. At this time, hearing Wu Song say this, he also looked around, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know what wilderness I have found, but I don't see anyone!" ”

When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he smiled, turned around and glanced at Wu Song and Jiao Ting, and said, "If Xu Mou's expectation is good, we have already entered the boundary of Mengzhou." If you want to come here, it should be near Mengzhou Road! ”

"Mengzhou Road?"

When Chao Gai heard this, he suddenly remembered something. Then he looked at everyone and smiled: "If it is Mengzhou Road, then I will wait to move forward, if we reach the cross slope, there is a restaurant!" ”

Hearing Chao Gai say this, Xu Guanzhong's eyes suddenly lit up. Chao Gai said this, thinking that he knew the rumor.

"Brother Tianwang is right", Xu Guanzhong nodded, smiled at Chao Gai, pointed his right hand straight to the front of the right and said: "I'll wait for about seven or eight miles forward, and I think it's the cross slope." It's just that although there is a restaurant on the cross slope, it is not a good place! ”

"Oh?"

Seeing Xu Guanzhong say this, Wu Song's interest and questions that had been aroused by Chao Gai suddenly turned to Xu Guanzhong. They are not surprised that Xu Guanzhong knows the geography here, after all, they have also talked about Xu Guanzhong's experience, this person has traveled all over the three mountains and five mountains, famous mountains and rivers, not to mention that in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, even some countries in the frontier have also traveled. It was no surprise that he was able to see the way.

It's just that Chao Gai is going south for the first time, and he actually knows that there is a restaurant in front of him, you must know that there is no wine shop along the way, why is Chao Gai so sure?

Wu Song was about to say this question in his heart, but when he heard Xu Guanzhong say this, he immediately looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, "Brother Xu, why is this?" ”

"Yes", at this time, Pan Jinlian couldn't help the question in her heart, looked at Xu Guanzhong and said softly: "After this journey, even the horses need to rest for a while." I've finally come across a restaurant and just had a good time to rest, but why isn't it a good place to go? ”

"Miss Jinlian doesn't know", Xu Guanzhong was slightly surprised when he saw Pan Jinlian asking, along the way, she rarely spoke, Xu Guanzhong was just about to say, suddenly looked at Chao Gai and smiled, and then shirked it: "This matter is even clearer to Brother Tianwang, or Brother Tianwang will solve your confusion!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Guanzhong's eyes showed a meaningful smile, and he was suddenly blinded by Chao.

This matter is not only unknown to Pan Jinlian, but also not very clear to Wu Song and others. Xu Guanzhong obviously wanted to explain it himself, but when he saw Pan Jinlian asking, he immediately pushed this mission to Chao Gai, and the meaning of it was self-evident.

When everyone heard Xu Guanzhong's words, they immediately understood, and immediately laughed a little. And Pan Jinlian heard this, and her face was red again.

Chao Gai was helpless, and immediately said to everyone:

"The so-called 'cross slope under the big tree, how dare the guests pass by.'" The fat ones are cut into steamed bun fillings, but the thin ones are put to fill the river! There were rumors on the rivers and lakes that on the cross slope of Mengzhou Road, there was a couple who opened a black shop. The male is called Zhang Qing of the vegetable garden, and the female is called the dominatrix Sun Erniang. After killing this passing merchant and killing his life, he didn't stop doing it, and even made people into human meat steamed buns and buns, and then came to greet the next wave of guests! ”

Hearing Chao Gai's words, especially the human meat steamed buns, Pan Jinlian's face changed instantly, and she originally felt empty in her stomach, but at this time, she suddenly lost the slightest appetite.

"Human meat steamed buns?"

When Wu Song heard this, he immediately looked furious: "This thief couple is simply inferior to beasts, not only for money, but also for people's lives, and actually made human heads into human meat steamed buns, which is really cruel!" ”

"Not bad", hearing Chao Gai say this, Lin Chong also nodded with a sudden understanding: "I've also heard that there are a bunch of couples buying and selling steamed buns on this river and lake, but I don't want to be not far in front of here!" ”

"Brother, I'm waiting for the heavens, like this kind of beast is not as good as the behavior, and I am going to serve his bird shop. I'd like to see what this thief couple is capable of! Wu Song said angrily.

"Brother Wu Song said very much", Meng Hu also nodded: "This kind of place has countless lives in the trap, and it is indeed not a good place for ordinary people." But I am waiting for the heroes of Liangshan, but I have to go! ”

Seeing Meng Hu say this, Chao Gai couldn't help but look at him a little. Along the way, Meng Hu was a little low-key and restrained, and only then did he see a little bloody. However, Chao Gai is very appreciative of this, what Liangshanbo needs is such a man, taking Liangshan as his home, taking Liangshan's belief as his purpose, doing the right thing for heaven, hoeing the strong and helping the weak!

"It's true that I'm going, but we must not have a preconceived idea", Chao Gai nodded, now that he has encountered it, he naturally wants to go and see it. But what about the famous black shops in the rivers and lakes under this cross slope. But you can't jump to conclusions, after all, these rumors are sometimes unreliable, for example, Song Jiang is a living example.

"What my brother said is good", Xu Guanzhong was even more relieved to see Chao Gai say this. Chao Gai was able to be so calm, which was really unbelievable to him. As the head of a force, the mind is the most important: "What we see is believing, what we hear is false, we still have to put aside this preconceived rumor for the time being, and go and do it again!" ”

"Okay!"

Jiao Ting nodded, and said excitedly: "It just so happens that there are two carts of gold and silver in this car, let's go and see what the name of this rumored black shop is!"
