Chapter 52: Ups and Downs (Part II)

It is said that after the ghost-faced mother-in-law immediately issued a seventy-two order to capture Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong alive, the people of the Ghost Head Gang were busy.

Everyone in the Ming Li seems to be diligent in investigating under the password of the ghost mother-in-law, and they don't dare to do anything, secretly they are scheming, everyone is eager to have wings on their feet, wings on their shoulders, walk through the thousands of rivers and mountains, fly over the lofty mountains, capture Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong alive, so that they can invite the first merit in front of the ghost mother-in-law.

However, when it comes to this ghost mother-in-law, she is not an ordinary person, she clearly knows that the big and small people in the gang are different, and she is greedy for that merit while following her own orders. But in her heart, she really wanted to see the rumored Li Qiusheng in the rivers and lakes, so she let her subordinates do whatever they did, anyway, it is the king that you can bring the character of Li Qiusheng alive to me.

As a result, a cold manhunt was set off in the realm of Qibei. Whether it is black and white or the gods and goddesses, the characters are all moved by the wind and go towards the northern realm. He also had a shit luck in the vast sea of people in the realm of Qibei, and captured this legendary figure ---- Li Qiusheng, so that he could go to the government to receive the reward.

Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong are naturally not stupid characters, since they broke the courtyard and escaped into the secret tunnel, they have figured out one thing, no matter whose hands they fall into now, their lives will not be in danger, but they will be protected and provoked by the predators everywhere. Because he is a bargaining chip that others rely on in exchange for conditions, those people on the rivers and lakes who get the two of them will not be unfavorable to him until the last resort. It seems to be a privilege to encounter such a good thing in life.

Li Qiusheng still put on his image of a deflated ruffian, and stayed day and night. Old man Dong is much more shrewd, after the previous two tribulations, he changed his appearance as an old man who was slow to move with vicissitudes of life, and he was also as good as he could do with a new dress. The old state is gone, but a sturdy appearance of being old and strong in his fifties. At first sight, people feel that he is a master with a story.

On this day, the two of them walked on the streets of Longscale Ancient Town one after the other and went straight to the north.

Although this dragon scale ancient town is not a big and prosperous town on the ground of Qibei, it does not lose the exquisite and unique scenery of a town. The pavilions are humble and horizontal, and the market is full of people and vitality.

Li Qiusheng squinted at Old Man Dong and said, "Old man, look at this season, we have to rest in this ancient town tonight." By the way, let's also appreciate the customs of other places, maybe we are lucky, and we can also encounter some new things to pass this boring escape life. It would be nice if that was the most dramatic. ”

"Well, it's just a lot of your kid idea. If you accidentally invite the disaster of killing yourself, then it is called wrongdoing, why bother to cause trouble for yourself. Old Man Dong tilted his head sideways and said, and secretly carefully observed the environment around the street a few times, before he relieved his tense belly.

"Old man, don't be suspicious all the time, okay? Are there so many bad people in this world? After playing for a while, I will focus on the idea of our two masters. I see, it's your own nervous overzeal, it's time to relax and be physically and mentally exhausted. Li Qiusheng said dissatisfaction with the nature of a young man, and that look of disappointment and unavailability really made people feel a little sorry and pitiful.

"Come on, boy. When you find an inn, you have a place to stay. You can do whatever you like, and if you love to be crazy, you can go crazy, the old man can't control you, just don't make trouble everywhere. It is better for us to do as little as possible, so as not to be controlled by others everywhere. Old Man Dong still couldn't raise any interest and said, and there was another deep worry on his forehead.

"Well, what the old man said is, I remember." Li Qiusheng replied lightly, as if he didn't take the old man's words seriously.

The two of them walked towards the center of the street one by one, no longer worrying about the danger lurking outside their bodies.

In the Ghost Head Gang, a pawn knelt in front of the seat of the ghost-faced mother-in-law and Rin reported. "Granny Yan, according to the news sent back by the spies, Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong have arrived in our territory, Dragon Scale Ancient Town, and are now staying in the Honglai Inn at the end of the town. The Qian team sent a message to ask her mother-in-law if we want to do it tonight, robbed Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong, and we will help us come to the nest. ”

I saw Granny Yan's grimace wrinkled, a stimulating light flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly. "Tell the Qian team that if he thinks the time is ripe and doesn't alarm the local government and guests, he will be in charge. Anyway, what my ghost mother-in-law wants is just a living Li Qiusheng, not a stiff corpse that they want to carry back. ”

"Well, if the little one goes back to the money team, it's like the mother-in-law's strict order." The pawn of the newspaper frowned again, got up and walked out.

In Dragonscale Town, in a dilapidated corrugated house, the lights flickered on and off, and a middle-aged man with a bearded hair looked out the window with a serious expression. Holding a short piece of yellow paper in his hand, a small line of writing on the yellow paper makes people dazzled. "Act when you see the opportunity, you can't see people alive or dead or corpses, you can only capture them alive." A very ugly grimace was painted next to the paragraph, which made people lose their souls and lose their souls.

The middle-aged man looked down at the small yellow note again, then turned around and put it on the lamp, slowly lit the yellow note, until it was finally burned out and turned into a small puff of ash.

In the official office of the Dragon Scale Ancient Town, a head-catching official was sitting precariously reporting to the eldest lord Zhao Youdaorin.

"Master, I will report back to the imperial court prisoner Li Qiusheng and his accomplice Old Man Dong have entered the territory of our Dragon Scale Town today. Do you think you should report this situation to General Hu, who came to the imperial court? It is good to fulfill our landlord responsibility. If you conceal it and don't report it, I'm afraid that the court will investigate it when the time comes, and it will be difficult for the lord to explain to the court. ”

Zhao Youdao stared at Zheng Zhutou, his face full of doubts suddenly rose, and he grabbed the handful of goatee under his mouth and said slowly. "Hey, Zheng Zhutou, what you are worried about. But Master Ben is still worried that Li Qiusheng has another accomplice who has not shown up, if he accidentally startles the snake and runs away, how can we not give up all our efforts and rejoice. This matter, according to Master Ben, this matter has to be slowed down for a while, and it will be accepted after all their people show up. At that time, we will have what we want, and the reward of the imperial court will definitely be indispensable. I will also remember your merits for you, my lord, and you are indispensable. ”

When Zhao Youdao said this, it seemed that all the things in the Dragon Scale Ancient Town could not escape his clever eyes, and in the end they all had to fall into the net of heaven and earth that he had carefully set up.

Zheng Zhutou saw that Master Zhao looked unreasonable, and he was very hateful at the moment. There was already a helpless anger in my heart, but what could I do if I was Master Zhao's subordinate. However, his eyes that breathed fire like a thief's eyes had already betrayed his heart, and it made people feel unhappy.

Master Zhao seems to be really pretentious, he pretended not to see the fire that was about to shoot out of Zheng Zhutou's eyes, or fiddled with a posture that I am the master and I am afraid of whom, and leisurely closed his eyes and tasted the hot tea on his desk.

Originally, Zheng Zhutou came to see Master Zhao with a longing for it, but he didn't want to touch the cold ash of his nose. Not only was his plan not accepted by Master Zhao, but he also suffered the shame of being treated so slowly by Master Zhao, and he felt all kinds of unhappiness in his heart. As soon as he turned his head, he walked out of the town's government without looking back, and went straight to the barracks of General Hu, who was sent by the imperial court outside the town.

In the Chaokou camp outside Longscale Town, General Hu happened to be sleeping with a group of subordinates in the bright lights and green singing and singing. Although he was sent by the imperial court, this General Hu is also a drunken man, and since he led his troops to sleep outside the ancient town of Longscale, there is a reason why he is not drunk. So as soon as it was dark, he immediately sent people to the "Spring Flower Courtyard" in the town to find a few courtesans who accompanied the wine to entertain him.

As soon as it got dark, he couldn't hold back the swaying of his spring heart, and the courtesans were happy. He hugged the beauty invited back from the lord of Longscale Ancient Town, ordered someone to bring wine and food, put it in his military camp, and staggered with a group of subordinates, drunk and smoked.

In the barracks, but when I saw the beauty of General Nahu holding his left hand, he said to his subordinates with a wine glass in his right hand. "Brothers, although we were sent by the imperial court to this poor country to nest bandits, we can't treat our brothers badly. Besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield, who can guarantee who will not have an accident? Since those wrinkled sour literati can sit and enjoy their blessings in the capital, just wait for us reckless men with knives and guns to fight for a big world, they will ask for merit and reward in front of the wall, and in the end, it is those of us who hold knives and guns in our hands who will suffer. In this case, we can treat our brothers badly. Come, brothers, now that the wine and food are readily available, and the beauty is in her arms, it is a good time to get drunk in the gentle country. ”

"Good", "good", "good".

"General Hu is right, we can't treat ourselves like this, timely pleasure is the king. When we arrived at the battlefield of the sword light and fire shadow, as soon as we closed our eyes and kicked our legs, we were nothing but a stiff corpse. ”

"Listen", "Listen", "Listen".

"Let's follow General Hu just don't suffer, after walking through this gentle township, even if we give our lives on the battlefield, it's worth it."

"Uh-huh", "um-huh".

"General Hu, let's follow you, don't lose. Brothers, we don't regret it. ”

The subordinates were flattering nonsense for a while, and they didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

"Ha, ha, thanks to the brothers who look up to Hu, Hu thanked him in his heart. Come, brothers, drink. ”

After that, as soon as he raised his head, Bozi grunted, and a bowl of wine poured down. Then he turned his head, kissed the glamorous courtesan in his left hand, and poured a large bowl of wine.

While the wine was wafting in the barracks and the courtesans were charming and charming, a messenger hurriedly ran in and reported loudly. "Report to General Hu, Zheng Zhutou from Longscale Town came to ask for a meeting, saying that he had something important to discuss, and asked the general if he would see it?"

General Hu was kissing the beauty and was scratched by the messenger. The anger in my heart suddenly arose, and I came uninvited. He turned his head, shouted without looking at the messenger. "What kind of cake is Wangba, who is he? Who is Lao Tzu, can these servants see him casually if they want to? Spread the word, while waiting, it is not too late to summon him to meet when the general is happy. ”

The messenger didn't seem to dare to fight back, so he had to give a "whoosh" and retreated in panic after receiving the order.

As night fell, the lights of Dragonscale Town were open for the first time. Although it is located in the middle of nowhere, it is no worse than the average rich town. The street market under the lights also shows the bustle and bustle during the day, and the flow of people and carriages is still a little crowded.

Li Qiusheng is walking on such a warm street at night, without the trembling and care of Old Man Dong by his side, he feels as if he is a caged bird that has returned to the forest for a long time, which has been suppressed for so long At this time, he can finally abandon all the restraints, enjoy the time that should belong to him, and find the feeling of being sweet after a long drought.

Li Qiusheng walked slowly, while using all his eyes to capture the unique night style of this ancient town. The tense heart of the past melted and thawed little by little, and the fragments of the blue and white embroidery building flashed in his mind, and Dong Yanzhi's beautiful and delicate figure multiplied on his heart.

"Brother Qiusheng, where are you? You really make Yanzhi easy to find? ”

"Yan Zhi, don't be sad. I'm here, how can Brother Qiusheng make it easy for you to find it? ”

Just when Li Qiusheng was looking at the bustling scenery of the street market in front of him and giving birth to Dong Yanzhi's slender and delicate figure, a powerful big hand behind his back suddenly fell on Li Qiusheng's shoulder, clamping half of Li Qiusheng's body like iron tongs.

Li Qiusheng was shocked when he stared, but he couldn't resist at all.

Although Li Qiusheng was in a hurry at the moment, he had lost the opportunity to be controlled by others, so he had to endure the pain in his shoulder and look back.

Li Qiusheng was even more taken aback when he saw this, and suddenly gasped. The most unexpected thing for him was that the person who grabbed his shoulder was actually a ragged and ugly person who was even uglier than himself.

A dirty, wrinkled face had reached out in front of his eyes, but when he saw this old man staring at him with a squint, he didn't say a word. The big hand that clamped on his shoulder didn't seem to let go.

This is called Li Qiusheng's love, how can it be embarrassing! He tried to break free from his old dirty hands, but tried to shake it several times without success. On the contrary, the old shouting big hand seemed to be connected with Li Qiusheng's shoulder, and no matter how he twisted, he didn't move at all.

Lao Zhaohua seemed to understand Li Qiusheng's intentions at this time, and said with a mouth full of yellow teeth. "Li Qiusheng, if you don't want to die, follow me obediently. If you want to suffer, cry out and see who can save you. ”
