In the middle of the night, Li Yanqing was awakened by a sharp knock on the door, "Who is it!" Li Yanqing slowly opened his eyes and asked.

"Li Guanren, open the door quickly, there is something urgent!" The anxious voice of the shopkeeper was heard outside.

Li Yanqing sat up quickly, quickly got out of bed and opened the door, and the shopkeeper entered the door with an oil lamp and said, "It's amazing!" Liang Shanjun began a large-scale search of the city, and people who knew Liang Shanjun told me that this time was extraordinary, as long as it was an outsider, it would be arrested, no matter where it came from, you can't stay in the hotel, hurry up and follow me, I will hide you. ”

At this time, Zhou Wenyuan also put on his clothes and ran nervously, "Little proprietor, what should we do?" ”

Li Yanqing knew in his heart that Song Jiang must have received the news that the imperial court was about to start a war, so he immediately decided: "Pack up your things, let's go with the shopkeeper!" ”

They didn't have anything, just two packages, and the two of them immediately followed the shopkeeper to the backyard with the package on their backs, and the shopkeeper arranged for the guy to eliminate the traces, at this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something, "There is our name on the registration book!" ”

"I've torn it up, they can't find it!"

As soon as he walked to the backyard, there was a rapid knock on the door of the front yard, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned white, he hurriedly gave the guy a look, and the guy understood, and slowly asked, "Who is it!" ”

"Open the door and check the inn!" There was a cacophony of roaring outside.

"Our shopkeeper is not here!"

"It doesn't matter if you're there, open the door to Lao Tzu!"

At this time, the shopkeeper had already taken Li Yanqing out of the back door, and ran briskly along an alley, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, he saw a group of soldiers running in line on the street, and a general shouted in the distance: "As long as it is a foreigner, they will be arrested, especially those from the capital, no one is allowed to let go!" ”

"This way!"

The shopkeeper pushed open a door at the entrance of the alley, "This is my sister's house, you can hide here for two days." ”

"Don't you search people's houses?" Li Yanqing asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Half of the families in Sucheng County are the families of the Liangshan Army, and it is impossible for them to search the houses." ”

At this time, a young woman came out, and the shopkeeper came up to explain a few words to her, and the young woman was a little reluctant, but finally nodded in agreement.

"Then you stay here, I'll have to go back and deal with the soldiers."

Li Yanqing and Zhou Wenyuan were very grateful, and the shopkeeper left in a hurry, and the young woman said to them impatiently: "My brother likes to be nosy, come with me!" ”

Zhou Wenyuan hurriedly stuffed her with an ingot of twenty taels of silver, and the young woman made a small fortune, and then her face turned bright, and she arranged a clean room for them with a smile.

Li Yanqing couldn't sleep this night, only listening to the footsteps outside one after another, and people kept shouting, and the entire county was disturbed and sleepless all night.

Li Yanqing is more worried about Yang Liang, will he get the news, be smart, don't go into the city again.

The next morning, the shopkeeper came in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Fortunately, you left in time, otherwise you would have died if you were arrested!" ”

"Did the shopkeeper get any news?" Li Yanqing asked.

"I got the news early in the morning that more than 170 people were arrested last night, and none of them have been released until now."

"After catching so much, isn't the business of the inn bad?"

"I don't know why there are so many, I guess it's not just Sucheng County! There is something else. ”

"And how do we leave?" Zhou Wenyuan also didn't sleep all night, his face was very pale, and he was more concerned about how to leave safely.

"Hey! I don't know, I heard that the imperial court is going to war with the Liangshan army, the lord of Song Zhai was very angry, and ordered a strict investigation of the spies, the city gate control is very strict, and someone must guarantee it when entering and leaving the city. ”

Li Yanqing and Zhou Wenyuan looked at each other, it seemed that they were indeed in big trouble.

"One more thing!"

The shopkeeper added, "Do you have a companion surnamed Yang outside the city?" ”

Li Yanqing was immediately overjoyed, "Does he have any news?" ”

"Early this morning, an old farmer who was allowed to go into the city to sell vegetables told me that there was a man surnamed Yang Housheng outside the city who asked him to bring a message, saying that it was very unsafe and that he was going to leave Yunzhou first."

Li Yanqing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Liang usually does not leave easily, and must have encountered something extremely dangerous before he was forced to leave.

It seems that he also has to leave, Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "Can the shopkeeper help me inquire about a person, it is a general of the Liangshan Army, called Hu Cheng!" ”

"I know him, he has a daughter, known as the first beauty of the Liangshan Army."

"That's right! That's him, see where he lives? ”

"No problem, I'll help you inquire."

Li Yanqing took out an ingot of twenty-five taels of gold and handed it to him, "This is a little bit of my heart, thank you for the shopkeeper's rescue yesterday!" ”

The shopkeeper saw that his sister was not there, so he pulled Li Yanqing aside and said in a low voice: "I know very well what Li Guanren is doing, maybe that Zhou Guanren is here to buy a house, but you are definitely not, Song Jiang posted a notice, exposing a court spy, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, if I betray Li Guanren, I can at least get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, but I don't help you for money, if I betray you, I can't explain here." ”

The shopkeeper pointed to his heart, "I don't want to act against my conscience, and I don't want to be liquidated by the court in the future." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "You will be rewarded, I promise you!" ”

The shopkeeper saluted Li Yanqing with a fist, turned around and hurriedly left, Zhou Wenyuan walked over and said in a low voice: "I think it's a little unreliable, could he be playing tricks on the little proprietor's words?" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "If he wanted to betray me, we should have been arrested last night, and now we have no other choice than to believe him." ”

.........

At noon, the shopkeeper came to Li Yanqing's hiding place again, and Li Yanqing hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Is there any news from them?" ”

"I did inquire about their residences, but their father and daughter live in the barracks outside the city, not in the mansion."

"Can you reach them?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"I'm sure I can't, but I guess the housekeeper in their house can."

"Can you trouble the shopkeeper again?"

"Of course there is no problem, but .... It's best if Li Guanren can give me a token. ”

Li Yanqing thought about it, then went back to the house and took a chess stone, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Please give this to his master by the housekeeper, and say that the old man is visiting." ”

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary chess stone, and for people with strong martial arts, as soon as they start, they will know what it is.

At dusk, there was another knock on the door outside the courtyard, Li Yanqing hurriedly ran to the courtyard, only to see the shopkeeper come in with a young female general, it was Hu Qing'er, Hu Qing'er saw Li Yanqing, his eyes suddenly flashed with joy that could not be concealed, and then he said with a gloomy face: "Why are you here again?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "I'll come to see my relatives, if it's not welcome, forget it." ”

"Where did you come to see me, don't think I don't know, if it weren't for Socheng, you would come to me?"

Li Yanqing didn't answer her, and saluted the shopkeeper with a fist, "Thank you!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, returned a salute and left, and Li Yanqing said to Hu Qing'er: "Come in and have a bowl of tea!" ”

Hu Qing'er snorted and walked into the room with him, "Say it!" If you want me to help you, I will state that if you want information about the Liangshan Army, I can't provide it. ”

Li Yanqing picked up the three pieces of paper on the table and handed them to her, "This is a gift from my senior brother, it may be useful to you." ”

"What is it?"

Hu Qing'er took the paper casually, but was immediately attracted by the drawing on the paper, there is only a soft whip method on the paper, which is very simple to swing in a straight line, but just to explain this whip method is enough to use a page and a half of paper, including how to contribute, the skills of the wrist whip, etc., each step of the explanation looks incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, I don't know how many times more clever than the previous whip method, one word, is 'fast'.

She hurriedly looked at the third piece of paper, which was a new whip blade, and it was written in detail how to make it and what material to use.

Although there were only three pieces of paper, it was like opening a window for Hu Qing'er, allowing her to see a new world of martial arts.

Hu Qing'er was so drunk that she couldn't help but gesture with her wrists, completely forgetting that Li Yanqing was still beside her, Li Yanqing poured her a bowl of tea and said with a smile: "This whip method is still useful!" ”

Hu Qing'er suddenly woke up, her face flushed slightly, and she sighed: "Your senior brother's martial arts are really unfathomable, if I learn this trick, my martial arts will probably enter the top ten in Liangshan." ”

"You also underestimate my senior brother, you really ate this trick thoroughly, I don't think you have a problem getting into the top five, when will I teach you flying stones!"

Hu Qing'er suddenly smiled, "Then let's say it, don't be allowed to lay skin!" ”

"I'm talking, but you have to help me out of the city first."

Hu Qing'er glared at Li Yanqing, gritted her silver teeth and said, "I knew that you couldn't get out of the city to come to me, and you didn't admit it!" ”

Li Yanqing snorted, "Going out of the city is also one of the aspects!" ”

Hu Qing'er said angrily: "I have already prepared it for you." ”

She walked out of the courtyard, took two sets of armor from the female soldiers outside the door, handed them to Li Yanqing, and said, "You and your companions put it on, and I will take you out of the city!" ”
