"Uncle, I'm tired of asking, this is the Tiger Pass, right?"

Li Yan led Feilei, carrying a sword box on his back, with a golden mother sword pinned to his waist, and came to a remote person's house to ask for directions.

"Yes, yes, this is it."

The door was opened by a thin old man in his fifties, with a rickety body. When he saw that it was a burly man, who was also leading a strong horse and carrying a weapon, he felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly replied.

Li Yan glanced at the dirt road full of mud puddles, and asked for directions: "How to get to the inn here?" ”

"It's not far ahead, turn left. There is such an inn in ten miles and eight towns, and the owner is a cousin. ”

Li Yan listened and nodded: "Thank you, old man." ”

He was just about to leave when the old wizened old man stopped him again.

"Strong man."

Li Yan turned around: "What?" ”

"Well, the strong man is an official."

The old man pointed to the copper bell wrapped around Feilei's neck, which was the official bell made by the Taifu Temple in Liaodong, and only the horses raised by the government would wear it.

"Hah, that's good."

Li Yan nodded.

"Official, I have something I want to tell you."

The old man looked left and right, and then leaned over and lowered his voice: "We have not seen an outsider in the Tiger Pass for more than half a year, but I don't know how recently, there are a lot more passers-by, especially in the past two days, many people who come from the wrong way come to ask for directions, you can pay attention." ”

Li Yan listened and asked the old man, "Who are the people who come from the wrong way?" ”

"That's a lot, let me think about it."

The old man thought for a while before he said, "Yes, my uncle and nephew arrived last night." I heard my cousin say that they didn't have any roads on them, and they stopped after giving more silver. ”

Li Yan nodded: "What else?" ”

"And many horses passed by, and the men on them were all dressed in big hats, and armed with weapons, and looked more vicious than you...... Take a few pillars of incense early. ”

Li Yan glanced at the horseshoe pit on the ground.

"Anything else?"

The old man's voice lowered: "I saw a man this morning, it may be the fire slaughter that the government wants to arrest!" ”

Li Yan frowned: "Uncle, talk about it carefully." ”

He took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the old man.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! ”

The old man waved his hand and didn't dare to take it, swallowed his saliva and continued: "This person is wearing a satin robe, he is tall and big, and he speaks very politely. He looked at me, and my whole soul flew away in fright. It's just like what the yamen said, the fire slaughter that will be demonic. ”

"Anything else?"

Li Yan asked again.

"Again, no more, oh, there was another man passing by, an old lame, with a Northwest accent, nothing unusual. He was older than me and breathed when he walked. It is estimated that he is a poor man who has no children and no daughters, and is adrift in a foreign land. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Li Yan forcibly stuffed the silver into the old man's hand. smiled kindly: "If you deliver news to the official, you can't hand it out in vain." ”

With that, he led the Flying Thunder to the drawbridge not far ahead.

In the inn, Cha Xiaodao stretched his waist, Cao Yongchang's willow leaves were dipped in salt foam and brushed his teeth, and asked vaguely: "When will General Li arrive?" ”

"Come on, it's here this afternoon."

Li Cha and the two had a ninja land transfer conversation, and it was Li Yan who took the initiative to find Cha Xiaodao and asked him to find a remote place to wait for him. Cha Xiaodao also agreed.

Cao Yongchang had long known that the two had some secrets, and it was not surprising that he asked: "Uncle, you committed such a big case, wouldn't it ruin his future if people saw General Li with you?" ”

"Even if you go on the road together, it's nothing. It's nothing more than not going into the city, not staying in the post station, he is not himself when Li Zhenfu, who knows that he is? ”

Cao Yongchang lowered his voice: "You can't say that, uncle, you forgot that two days ago at the foot of the mountain, there were a group of local officers and soldiers chasing us, and they said that Tiqi had been eyeing us for a long time." ”

Cha Xiaodao grabbed a peanut from the table and put it in his mouth: "I don't know about this, he told me to wait." I guess there's something for me. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the inn, Cao Yongchang leaned on the window and looked out, it was a group of men in black suits, all breathing continuously, their temples bulging, and they knew that they were extraordinary at a glance.

The leader was wearing a gauze hat, and seemed to notice Cao Yongchang's gaze, and suddenly turned his head, and two cold lights stabbed over as if they were substance.

Cao Yongchang's eyes were suddenly covered by Cha Xiaodao, who was eating peanuts with his head down, and he asked blankly, "What's wrong, uncle?" ”

"Nothing,"

Cha Xiaodao sniffed, he had smoked fiercely in the past two days, and his nose was a little blocked.

This group of people all has the level of ten, which is comparable to the first-class players in the army. The leader is even more at the peak of the ten, and there is a dragon and tiger qi floating in the shape of a rhinoceros behind him, which is clearly an official body.

The people of this world are generally weak, but there are officials, relying on dragon and tiger qi and talisman paper with dragon and tiger qi to restrain themselves, and they can often kill monsters and wild ghosts that are much stronger than them.

The monsters in those gossip and evil stories can open mountains and crack rocks, soar through clouds and fog, and change freely. But he didn't think about fighting against the government, because of the existence of dragon and tiger.

These people in front of him don't look good, but they can be said to be the best among them. When Li Yan met Li Rumei in person, he gathered the elites found by the twenty-five guards in Liaodong, which was similar to the people in front of him.

Naturally, the soap servants of Longhu Mountain, as well as a small number of innate aliens, cannot be counted among them.

The man stared at the inner room for a while, then withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, stay in the hotel." ”

He threw two silver ingots to the cabinet, and the shopkeeper came to his senses.

"How many guests are these?"

"Ten men, ten horses."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Well, here, guest officer, you have also seen it, even if I have three men and cooks here, I will only have three rooms on the upper and lower partitions." It's too ...... to kick out the guests in the two rooms with us so that we can accommodate everyone."

"It's not that much trouble, just a few rooms to live in. I've got a lot of rewards for you. You say two-room guests? ”

He can suppress the sound on this "two" word.

"Yes, a pair of uncles and nephews passing by, and a son-in-law. Oh, there's still one asleep, and I'll have to let him move your horse. ”

"Then they're really out of luck."

The man snorted coldly, and called the running hall to lead him upstairs.

There lived a tall and burly young man in the side room, wearing black satin, with a rebellious complexion, this person had handsome facial features, and his eyes were breathtaking, especially his face was slightly green, not like a mortal.

He also heard movement in the room, and couldn't help but sneer: "Unlucky? I see who is unlucky. ”

"That, Mr. Fourteen?"

The person running outside shouted.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, it's the steamed white eel you wanted, and the gang who just came here will take it away first. Don't get angry, this gang is rampant, we can't do it when we go out. The kitchen will make it for you, you see? ”

The man named Mr. Fourteen laughed instead of being angry, he stretched his sleeves and said through the window: "It's okay, let them eat." ”

"Eh, you're magnificent."

That's how the man left.

Mr. Fourteen licked his lips, his nose spat out two green breaths, and slowly closed his eyes.

Next door room.

"Uncle, are these people coming at us?"

Cao Yongchang lowered his voice.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Cha Xiaodao smiled.

"Then what should I do when General Li comes? Let's not go. ”

"Don't get in the way, whether this group of people can get out of the inn alive is a matter of words."

Cha Xiaodao stared at the wall in his hand, only a wall away from the fourteenth gentleman.
