Kong Sheng took the lead in galloping, followed by Mu Changfeng and others.

This is a country dirt road, on both sides of which were fertile paddy fields, with ponds and canals, but it has long been deserted. A thin layer of hoarfrost was exposed in the paddy fields, the ground was dry and cracked, and everywhere there were lying and scattered withered yellow straws, and one or two lonely trees with crooked necks stood miserably, and occasionally three or two black crows flew down from the dry branches, whimpering and screaming.

At the end of the paddy fields, some of the villages are dilapidated and deserted, and there is no sign of human life, while some are even in ruins. The further north you go, the worse it gets.

Kong Sheng galloped away with a lot of emotion in his heart, this has not yet entered the territory of Henan, which has already presented such a bleak scene of ten rooms and nine empty places, so it is conceivable how to do it there.

Li Xuan's face is not good-looking, this place is exactly the dividing line between the rich and peaceful Jiangnan and the war-torn Henan, further is a ruthless purgatory, and taking a step back is a paradise on earth. As the head of the Li Tang clan, Li Xuan was deeply distressed.

That is, the kung fu of a cup of tea, and the town of Gusang is in sight. This is the traffic hub of Xuyi, Hongze and Sihong, and it is also the commercial distribution center from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, but now it is abandoned and ruined and has no longer the grand occasion of the past.

The prosperity of the past has long disappeared, most of the shops are closed, the residential area is even more deserted, the streets are sparsely populated, occasionally see one or two townspeople, are in a hurry, with vegetables on their faces, and their eyes are blank, Kong Sheng and others traveled all the way, only to find an inn that is still open for business.

Two young men squatted lazily in the doorway, drawing circles on the ground, and a small pile of stones was placed next to them. Looks like it's playing some kind of boring game.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the two guys looked up in amazement, and saw Kong Sheng and others leading the horses to walk slowly, and they were stunned, and then got up with a smile on their faces and greeted: "How many people want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Mu Changfeng nodded slowly: "Of course." Dude, is there any room available? Prepare for us...... Prepare five rooms. ”

The guy smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes." Please dismount, although our store is small, the guest rooms are still clean and tidy, and we will not disappoint a few people. Liuzi, you go to lead the horse, and I'll take a few guest officers to see the house! ”

Of course the rooms are, because there have been no guests in a long time, and all are idle. But as for being clean and tidy, it can't be talked about, there are no guests to live, these days, the two guys don't even bother to do hygiene, where can the room be clean?

The other guy sighed and agreed, and then he was going to lead Kong Sheng's white horse. Chasing the wind hissed suddenly, raised his front hooves, startled the guy, and quickly jumped away.

"What a horse!" Liuzi praised and clapped his hands on the side: "The guest officer, this white horse has no miscellaneous hair on his body, his four hooves are powerful, and his body is slender, he is definitely one in a million!" ”

Wu Xianwu pouted, and said in his heart, what do you know as a guy? You're just looking at how good-looking this horse is.

Kong Sheng frowned, slapped the neck of the horse chasing the wind, and shouted: "You brute, what are you making a fuss about?" ”

Chasing the wind snorted depressedly and lowered his head.

Mu Changfeng flashed a solemn look in his eyes, looked at the guy who led the way to see the house, and then glanced back at the guy named "Liuzi" who led the horse to the backyard with a smile, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

opened five rooms, and Kong Sheng gave the innermost one to Li Xuan. She lives in the innermost, and Kong Sheng and the four of them are outside, she can't escape the surveillance of Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng if she has any trouble, at least, it is impossible to escape in the middle of the night.

Kong Sheng just took off his cloak and wanted to go to the bed to rest for a while, the door was pushed open, Mu Changfeng floated in, and said in a low voice: "Childe, it's not right, these two guys' eyes are flickering, and there is a Jianghu atmosphere on their bodies, I think, eighty percent is a black shop, we have to be more careful." ”

Kong Sheng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Brother Mu, I am also aware of it. I don't know if you noticed it, but when we entered the store just now, there was an old woman looking through the crack in the door from the grocery store opposite, as if she was panicked. ”

"However, this place is desolate, and there is only one inn in the town where we can stay, so we can't sleep in the wilderness. Rushing overnight, people are sleepy and tired, if you don't rest all night, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Kong Sheng smiled: "We don't have any wealth and things, and they are not stupid, and they may not attack us." Besides, with the means of the five of us, what can we do even if it is a black shop? ”

"If we don't touch their diet and keep a minimum of vigilance, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Okay, Childe, rest. A certain and Wu Xian Wujie take turns to stay overnight, and with the three of us to protect them, you can sleep in peace. Mu Changfeng nodded slightly, stopped talking nonsense, and turned around and walked out of Kong Sheng's room.

Mu Changfeng was born in the rivers and lakes, his eyes were sharp, and he had rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and when he took a look, he could see that something was wrong with the two guys. I feel that this may be a black shop, and I came to suggest leaving the distance, but one is that the artist is bold, and the other is that what Kong Sheng said is reasonable, only this inn, five people can't sleep in the wilderness, two or three days of crazy travel, must have a good rest.

Looking at Mu Changfeng's slender back as he left, Kong Sheng sighed helplessly. What a shrewd man he was, and he couldn't see the problem when he was as deep as the sea in his two lives. It's just that the group is really too tired, and at this moment, knowing that it may be a black shop, they can only take the risk of staying.

Anyway, Kong Sheng felt that the five of them had no luggage and property, and it would not necessarily arouse the covetousness of the thieves. What he didn't expect was that the value of chasing the wind alone was immeasurable, and this white horse was born with a strong appearance, and it could attract great attention wherever he went.

Mu Changfeng slowly walked downstairs, holding his sword wrapped around the red tasseled head. The two guys were talking to each other in the hall, and suddenly saw Mu Changfeng walking with a sword in his hand, and his face changed slightly.

The guy called "Liuzi" greeted him with a smile: "The guest officer wants to use some wine and food?" ”

Mu Changfeng shook his head indifferently, his expression calm and indifferent: "No, a certain family sees that the scenery here is very good, and I can't sleep in the room, so I simply come out to see the scenery and breathe." ”

As he spoke, Mu Changfeng raised his foot and kicked up a stool under his feet, the stool drew an arc in mid-air, and landed at the door with a bang, Mu Changfeng's figure floated over, sat down, still holding the sword and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The two men looked at each other, and both read a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

As Mu Changfeng judged, these two people, including the behind-the-scenes owner of the inn, were not good birds. In fact, they didn't originally open a black shop, but later many changes occurred, and this Xinglong Inn became the only black shop in Gusang Town.

But they are not mentally handicapped fools, so they naturally understand that Mu Changfeng's move is clearly a warning. The two of them can be regarded as having a bit of eyesight, and at a glance, it can be seen that Mu Changfeng is a high-skilled chivalrous man, and he is by no means an ordinary person.

And among these five people, except for Kong Sheng and Li Xuan, two young men dressed as delicate and thin scholars, Mu Changfeng is not easy to provoke, and the Wuxian Wujie brothers are also strong and powerful, to take it down, unless it is medicine or incense, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of the two.
