Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoer went down the mountain for a purpose, and the destination was not elsewhere, it was Dengzhou, Dengzhou's soldiers and horses were the deputy generals of Liu Menglong, and the two of them were also teachers and friends, most of Qi Yuntao's skills were taught by Liu Menglong, and the purpose of Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi going down the mountain this time was one, that is, to persuade Qi Yuntao to surrender, so that the soldiers would take Dengzhou without blood, and it would also reduce the loss of Liangshan's military horses.

As for why Ruan Xiaoqi followed down the mountain, it was purely because he was bored staying on the mountain, and he took this opportunity to follow Liu Menglong out to breathe.

The two of them got off the boat and came to the shore, and Zhu Gui had already arranged for someone to prepare horses, dry food, gold and silver, and the two did not rest, they turned over their horses directly and went straight to Dengzhou.

Along the way, the local cities where the two people passed have become under the rule of Liangshan, and everywhere you can see where Liangshan's military horses are cooperating with the land reform, after all, this is an important policy of Liangshan.

In a short conclusion, the two of them came to Dengzhou City, at this time Dengzhou was already under martial law in the whole city, Liangshan army and horses pressed the border, Dengzhou was full of officers and soldiers guarding patrols, and the city gate was even more heavily guarded, and there were more than 100 officers and soldiers to check the crowd coming and going in and out of the city, so as not to let go of Liangshan's meticulous spies.

But even if the defense is firm, there are flaws, and the two of them entered the city unknowingly under the arrangement of the Liangshan Intelligence Office and the Jinyi Guard.

Although Dengzhou City is now under control, there is still an endless stream of merchants coming and going in the city, and the port is still prosperous.

After entering Dengzhou City, neither of them went directly to Qi Yuntao, after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, what if Qi Yuntao didn't recognize Liu Menglong, the general of the year, so he was planning after secretly inquiring about it.

The stronghold of the Yangsan Intelligence Office in Dengzhou is an inn, in front of which is a magnificent restaurant, where diners come and go in an endless stream, and the business is very prosperous, and behind the restaurant are two four-story buildings, which are the places to provide accommodation.

After settling down and living in a place, Ruan Xiaoqi finally came out, although he was much calmer, his playful temperament still did not change at all, and he said to Liu Menglong in a high spirit: "Brother, let's finally come out once, there is still a long time before it gets dark at this time, it is better for us to eat wine and food, and then go out for a walk."

In fact, Liu Menglong knew Ruan Xiaoqi's temperament, and it was really impossible for him to stay in the room honestly, besides, if he wanted to find out about Qi Yuntao, it was useless to just stay here, so he nodded immediately and agreed.

Two people out of the room, came to the front of the restaurant, a magnificent, full of people, a total of four floors, the first floor is some ordinary people, eating bread and stir-fry or something, to the second floor is some people with a little identity, the environment is much better than the first floor.

The third floor is the place of the literati and the writers, there are halls and private rooms, drinking and having fun, chanting poems, there are maids waiting next to them, and when you reach the fourth floor, it is not a place where anyone can enter casually, you have to be rich and powerful people, one by one, the bags are separated, planted with flowers and plants, and it is very quiet.

Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi entered the restaurant one after the other, and as soon as they came in, the guys from the restaurant ran over, and the guys were dressed differently from others, they were all red satin clothes, with a headscarf on their heads, and the only thing they had in common was the white handkerchief on their shoulders.

The guy walked over with a smile on his face, very enthusiastic, stretched out his hand to let Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi in, and then asked, "What are the two guest officers going to eat?" Do you want to eat in a private room or in the lobby? ”

Liu Menglong waved his hand and said, "The private room is too quiet, let's find a place on the second floor, if you want to rely on the window, it will be more lively."

"It's miles and miles, this meal is a lively one, and it's cold and deserted, but I don't have much appetite, hahaha." Ruan Xiaoqi walked over, laughed, and then said.

"Come on, you two upstairs, please!"

The guy invited Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi to the second floor, and the people who ate on the second floor were all slightly wealthier, and they were also very lively, but they were much quieter than the noise on the first floor.

found a place by the window, the two of them sat opposite each other, ordered beef and mutton, fish soup and a few dishes that the restaurant was good at, two pots of good heroes were drunk, the guy answered, remembered the wine and food and turned around and went away.

There is not much time, the wine and food have already been served, Ruan Xiaoqi has walked such a long way, and he has not eaten a good meal, and now he has seized the opportunity, shakes off his cheeks, grins his back molars, and eats happily. Liu Menglong next to him is also a lot more elegant, with a sip of wine and a mouthful of food, which is very comfortable.

In this way, the two of them chatted while eating and drinking, a table of wine and food went down in a blink of an eye, full of wine and food, Liu Menglong was just about to get up to check out, and saw the originally lively second floor, suddenly quiet, and all the diners who ate shifted their eyes to the staircase.

This situation naturally attracted Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi, and at this moment, from the staircase, a few people walked up, and it could be seen from the walking posture that they had kung fu on their bodies, and they were not low.

The leader was a white-faced man, with a rather handsome face with sharp edges and corners, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, beardless under the chin, walking with a dragon walk, wearing soap-colored satin clothes, followed by four or five subordinates, As soon as they reached the second floor, the entire second floor seemed to freeze time instantly, and it was extremely quiet.

"Who is this man? How can he be so imposing, seeing the reactions of so many people upstairs, this person is also not ordinary in Dengzhou? Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know who came, and said to himself.

"He is Qi Yuntao." Liu Menglong looked at the white-faced man, his eyes flashed with a long-lost cordiality, and when he heard Ruan Xiaoqi's doubts, he said softly at the moment.

Ruan Xiaoqi was shocked when he heard Liu Menglong's explanation, and was about to shout, but when he thought that the two of them had sneaked into the city, he suppressed his voice.

"He is Qi Yuntao, this is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!"

Qi Yuntao didn't stay on the second floor, he went upstairs directly, judging by the situation, he should go to the fourth floor, Liu Menglong and Ruan Xiaoqi in order to be able to get close to Qi Yuntao, found out a little something, and followed to the fourth floor, found a private room next to Qi Yuntao's private room, ordered a pot of tea, and waited quietly.
