Early autumn, sunny day.

The sun is like a white plate, reflecting the sky in a foggy sky.

The fragrance of the leaves on the distant mountains floated on the turquoise river, and Zhang He stopped and looked up at the hillside.

In autumn, the hillsides are overgrown with withered grass and look like a golden world in the sun, especially in the evening sunset, when the slopes become golden and brilliant.

There are three or five huts in the splendor, and there is a long corridor made of grass huts next to the huts, and the wooden tables and rattan chairs under the corridor are connected together, which is obviously a wild guest house in this poor mountain wilderness.

This is the only way to Sanmenxia.

In fact, when Zhang He left Sichuan Prefecture and went to Fuling County, he should have taken this road, but at that time, he was chased and killed by Qingcheng and Tangmen, so he had to take the risk of breaking into Tiegongling.

Now that time has passed, he has returned to the starting point when he first entered the rivers and lakes.

Business in this guest house was not good, it was deserted under the grass hut, and only one guest was seated.

The man in blue wore a big hat and sat quietly drinking tea.

"Guest, what do you want to eat and drink?" The boss looked a little old, and his clothes were shabby, but his demeanor was still very warm.

He opened a shop in such a remote place probably just to meet one or two customers a day.

"Bring me a pot of tea!" Zhang He sat straight on the table of the man in blue.

The presumptuous blue-clothed man who faced Zhang He was not surprised, he just lowered his head and drank tea, as if other things had nothing to do with him.

But the boss showed a slight disappointment on his face, a pot of tea didn't make him much money.

Zhang He seemed to see through the boss's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm not very hungry or thirsty yet. ”

The boss smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not 6 o'clock in the evening, it's still early." ”

"It's not early!" Zhang He blinked: "Maybe if I talk for a while, I'll be hungry." ”

The hand of the man in blue holding the teacup froze slightly, but the man remained silent.

However, the boss's eyes lit up: "I'll be idle, maybe I can talk to you with the guest officer." ”

Zhang He smiled: "How far is it from Sanmenxia here?" ”

The boss smiled when he heard it: "It's still far away, there are more than 300 miles, if you go to visit Sanmenxia, I'm afraid it won't work tonight, I still have a room here, and the charge is not expensive, but 1 tael of silver a night." ”

Zhang He took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and experienced people knew that this ingot of silver was 20 taels at a glance.

The man in blue suddenly took out an ingot of silver, which looked bigger and heavier, estimated to be more than 30 taels.

The boss's eyes brightened even more: "What else do the two guest officers want to order to eat and drink?" I also have roasted knives, Dingcan local chicken, chestnut roast duck, and fresh fish from the Sichuan River, which ensures that the taste is no worse than that in the big city......"

Zhang He said with a smile: "Go and bring up all the good wine and food, but it's just ...... I have a few words I want to ask you before I go. ”

The boss was already smiling: "The two guest officers just ask, just ask." ”

Zhang He finally put away his smile: "Ten days ago in the evening, that is, at about this time, was there a team of people passing by you?" ”

The boss pondered: "Yes, but not a team of people, it is a lot of people, I counted, there are about a thousand." ”

Zhang He said: "Is there anything else besides people?" ”

The boss also showed a strange look on his face: "It seems that there are more than a hundred wooden carts, the kind of sand and mud carts used by craftsmen, but each car is tied with iron chains." ”

The man in blue suddenly spoke: "How thick is the chain?" ”

The boss said, "It's very thick, it's about the same as my arm." ”

Zhang He said: "Have they stopped here with you?" ”

The boss said: "Yes, they bought 12 jiao wine, and then bought all the tea and steamed buns in my store." ”

The man in blue said: "Then when did they leave?" ”

The boss said: "They sat for more than 10 minutes, and then left again." ”

Zhang He said: "Do you know where they went?" ”

The boss said: "I heard that they are workers from Sichuan Prefecture and are going to Fuling County to catch up with work." ”

The man in blue said: "After they left, has anyone else been to this place?" ”

The boss pondered: "I've been here, what Baili Dart Bureau, Weiyuan Dart Game or something, many people came, like the two of them, asked some questions and left." ”

The man in blue nodded slightly: "Let you make a small fortune today!" ”

With that, he threw the ingot of silver to the boss, who smiled from ear to ear.

Zhang He said: "Finally, let me ask you a question, have those dart players come back to you?" ”

The boss shook his head: "It's gone." ”

Zhang He smiled: "I'll also let you make a small fortune today, hurry up and get good wine and good food." ”

The 20 taels of silver were also thrown into the hands of the boss, and the boss turned around and walked towards the kitchen while stroking the silver: "Wait a minute, the two guest officers will come soon, by the way, do you want to add a quilt to your room?" ”

No one answered him.

"Guest officer? The two guest officers ...... "The boss turned around, and at this moment his jaw was about to drop in shock.

The teapots and cups on the table were still there, but the two guest officers were gone, and the grass was blank, and there was no half of a figure in sight.

"Yes...... Ghosts. The boss exclaimed, and the cry for help could be heard all over the mountains: "There are ghosts, there are people......

Ghosts obviously don't appear in broad daylight, and the sun hasn't completely set yet, and the golden yellow of the dead grass has turned fiery red.

The footsteps of Zhang He and the man in blue rustled in the grass, and where the boots passed, the dead grass was first shattered, and the footsteps were like flying; Gradually, the dead grass turned to powder, and the footprints were like seals on the earth.

The real masters know that these two people are walking to relax the whole body, in order to achieve the best mental state, when the essence of the whole body reaches the best combination point, the two sides will have to move.

Sure enough, the footsteps of the man in blue slowly calmed down, and the heavy footprints slowly disappeared.

It's just that as soon as his fingers were bent, Zhang He smiled decisively: "Long time no see." ”

The fingers of the man in blue suddenly loosened again, and the whole person seemed to relax: "How do you know it's me?" ”

Zhang He smiled: "You shouldn't speak." ”

"Meanwhile, I forgot that whoever speaks in front of you, you seem to remember his voice." The man in blue sighed, slowly took off his hat, revealing a pair of angry eyes, but his face was still covered by a face towel.

This man is a great bull!

"I didn't expect Tsing Yi Lou to meddle in this matter." Zhang He said with a smile.

Da Niu said with a straight face: "I didn't expect the big boss of Jinghua Building to be here." ”

The two suddenly stopped talking, and for a long time they looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time, and then the two stepped forward to shake hands with each other like two old friends.

They are indeed very good friends, but they are also the most formidable enemies.

"Your skills seem to have improved again." Da Niu felt the strength coming from his hand.

Zhang He smiled: "If I improve, then you will take a leap." ”

The setting sun sprinkled on Zhang He's face, and Da Niu stared at his face: "Can we not talk about the battle between the doors?" ”

This is a wonderful sentence, but Zhang He understands what he means: "Of course, what I hope most is that every time we meet, we will not confront each other as hostiles." ”

Da Niu let go of his hand and looked at the fiery western sky: "The world is impermanent, like a white cloud and a dog, God knows that we met again in Sanmenxia this time." ”

Zhang He said: "Are you here for red goods?" ”

Da Niu nodded and said, "You shouldn't ask this sentence." ”

Zhang He said: "Tsing Yi Lou seeks wealth, I know this." ”

Da Niu shook his head again: "50 million taels of gold, this is not something that can be eaten by a Tsing Yi Building, no matter whose hands this batch of red goods falls on, it is very hot." ”

Zhang He smiled: "It seems that I thought wrong, this case was not done by Tsing Yi Lou, but there is one thing I don't understand, what does this case have to do with Tsing Yi Lou?" ”

Da Niu looked at him and said with a smile: "If I say that I am ordered by my employer to come to investigate the whereabouts of the red goods, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it!" Zhang He replied in the affirmative.

"Oh?" Da Niu was a little surprised.

Zhang He said lightly: "Because I understand at least one thing, you don't need to rely on lies to achieve your goals by means that have no technical content." ”

Da Niu stopped talking, but slowly turned around, his shoulders undulating, as if he was a little excited.

As a man, it is difficult enough to have a true friend, but if you want to have a confidant-like enemy, it is even more difficult, but Zhang He is undoubtedly this kind of enemy, a fierce enemy in the real sense, but also a real confidant.

Da Niu turned around again, with a wry smile on his face: "I have an honest saying, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

Zhang He said: "Listen to me! ”

Da Niu sank his face: "I want you to go back now, you can go back wherever you came from, as far as you can from here, don't get involved in this matter again." ”

Zhang He sighed: "What if I don't? ”

Da Niu also sighed: "I knew you would choose no." ”

Zhang He said: "Since you know, why ask?" ”

Da Niu said: "Because of others, I will send him away directly, but you are different, I should at least ask you first." ”

Zhang He nodded silently: "I understand." ”

Da Niu stopped talking, and suddenly jumped back two steps, and pulled out phantoms in the air with his palms: "Brother Wu, you can be careful." ”

Zhang He had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as he looked at the trajectory and shadow of his palm, he knew that since Beibing Zhen's farewell, Da Niu's "Little Wuxianggong" has been very popular.

But when the big bull slapped it out, Zhang He was surprised, this was actually Kang Long's regret in the beggar gang's "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon".

It was like a golden dragon rolling up the waves, and the wind and dust rushed in, and the palm power completely enveloped Zhang He like a mountain and a sea.

Zhang He never expected that his shot would be like a powerful and ferocious move, although the "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragon" used by "Xiao Wuxianggong" belongs to the copycat version, but Zhang He can't resist it.

The palm force swept Xiao Zhang out like a tornado, and a red wound value of "―997" flashed in the dust.

Before Zhang He landed, the big bull had already jumped high, and the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" in "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon" was pressed down in the blink of an eye.
