"No......"

Guo Luquan was stunned when he heard this, and forgot to put the wine gourd in his hand, "This is an old shop in Sihaimen, could Ah Fu have heard it wrong?" ”

Zhang Heng said in a sullen voice: "Ah Fu's spirituality is superb, he has never missed this way, and what's wrong with Sihaimen, won't he open a black shop?" ”

He has a deep opinion of Tang Zixiong, and naturally he can't get used to Sihaimen.

"What do you know, you..."

Guo Luquan shook his head and said: "Sihaimen is not simple, three hundred years ago, the world was in turmoil, they organized merchants to travel the world, and opened inns in the wilderness, how can they do it without any means?" ”

"The people behind them are very mysterious, they have a good relationship with the royal family of the Southern Jin Dynasty of Dayan, they never participate in court disputes, and the inn is more comfortable than the post station, whether they are wandering around the rivers and lakes, or traveling by wealthy merchants, and even court officials will stay."

"If it becomes a black shop, will they still be able to do business?"

Wang Xuan took out the jerky and fed it to Ah Fu and Xiaobai, and looked ahead again, "There are no absolutes in this world, everything is careful." ”

"Yes, sir."

The three of them went out of the mountain road and also saw the inn built against the mountain.

At this moment, just after the hour, the lanterns of the inn are shaking in the cold night, there is a faint noise of people, mules and horses neighing, and it is obvious that there are many guests staying overnight.

Guo Luquan said with a smile: "Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, the city is very lively, the three religions and the nine streams gather, and the business travelers also have to transport goods in advance, so it is inevitable that there will be some quarrels, which may be noticed by Ah Fu." ”

"It's okay, be careful..."

Wang Xuan didn't care either, and continued to ride his horse.

The area of this Sihai Inn is not small, a huge flat land is sorted out in front of the door, and there is a row of horse sheds on the side, and two guys are busy feeding.

Seeing the three of them coming, the guy hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse, and at the same time smiled: "The guests came just in time, there are still a few vacant rooms..."

Wang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, turned over and dismounted, and threw out a token.

The guy took it and looked at it, and hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists, "It turned out to be a few officials, the backyard has been prepared, please come with me." ”

Sihaimen is very good at doing business, usually set up another house to show the difference between the government and the people, although Wang Xuan stayed in the post station in previous years, but also knows the doorway.

Seeing the token, the two men became more enthusiastic, one leading the horses, and the other leading the way, leading them around the main entrance and up the side slope, and suddenly a row of five small courtyards appeared.

Different from the hustle and bustle of the big inn in front, it is much quieter here, two of the courtyards are faintly lit, and the doors of three are locked, and it is dark.

"It's dark, adults watch your step."

The guy stepped forward to open the door, lit the lantern, and after a busy time, bowed down and said, "Hot water will be delivered in a while, can the adults ask for some wine and food?" ”

"Just have some."

Wang Xuan looked outside the courtyard, "Who are the other courtyards?" ”

"This..."The guy looked embarrassed, "My lord, our Four Seas Inn has rules that we are not allowed to reveal the identities of guests. ”

Wang Xuan didn't care, "Okay, let's go." ”

As soon as the guy left, Zhang Heng snorted coldly: "This guy is not honest, Sihaimen sells information from all over the world, and will keep it secret for guests?" ”

"One yard to one yard..."

Guo Luquan said with a smile: "My lord, you eat first, and I'll go ahead for a walk." ”

"Well, Guo Lao be careful."

Wang Xuan knew that Guo Luquan was going to explore the wind and see if there were any dangerous people, so that he could know in his heart.

After a while, the guy brought hot water, wine and food, and the two of them simply washed and feasted.

……

On the other side, Guo Luquan swayed to the front hall of the inn.

Compared with the Yajing courtyard at the back, it is much larger here, and the two-story building is a "well."

Half of the dozen or so wine tables in the middle were full.

Although Guo Luquan ate mixed rice in the imperial court, he was full of wind and dust, like a down-and-out old man, and found a place alone, while pouring himself a drink, while secretly observing.

He has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he quickly got a look.

Most of them here are business escorts and artists who run the rivers and lakes.

It's no wonder that in addition to these bitter haha, who else will run in all directions in this cold spring.

The rivers and lakes are displaced, and the scenery is always only a few.

Hey... The people in the Jin family class are also there?

Guo Luquan smiled secretly, he had already guessed what was going on, pretended not to know, and got up to leave after a few more drinks.

Suddenly, he was drawn to the conversation of several guards.

"Hey, have you heard, the bloody thief is coming down again!"

"Why not, I heard that it was in Huaizhou, but this time I didn't enter the city, but looted a mine of the Sima family."

"What do they want to do with the mine, didn't the Sima family do it?"

"Why not, dozens of worshippers chased into the mountains overnight, but unfortunately they didn't even catch the other party's hair..."

Speaking of this, the guard looked around and whispered, "It is rumored that the blood-clothed thief has a map of the dragon vein cave in the mountain, so he can travel for hundreds of miles without a trace, and many evil cultivators in the rivers and lakes have already joined. ”

"Tsk, it seems that things are getting bigger, and they won't come to our state, right?"

"Bah, you crow's mouth..."

Guo Luquan lowered his head and drank, frowning solemnly when he listened.

He recuperated in Yong'an for a winter, and the bloody thief was so powerful in this short period of time, I am afraid that it is not simple behind it...

Boom!

The door was slammed open.

Everyone was shocked, and Cang Langlang pulled out his weapon.

Although the Four Seas Inn has its own guards, and the Green Forest Bandits also sell the face of the Four Seas, they will not be easily disturbed, but the dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, let alone a person.

To their surprise, it was not a bandit who came in, but an old man and a young man dressed rusticly, supporting a middle-aged man with a pale face.

The guards were all watching coldly, vigilant in their hearts.

Walking the rivers and lakes, more is better than less.

When the road is uneven, why is everyone praised for being chivalrous and righteous?

It's because it's less.

However, Guo Luquan's face changed, "Qi Long? ”

With that, the flickering figure has come to him.

The guards were startled, they didn't expect that the wilting old man was actually a good hand?

The old and young dressed in rustic style were the treasure-holding masters and apprentices that Wang Xuan had seen, and when he saw Guo Luquan blocking the road, he was shocked and wanted to pull out the iron thorn on his waist.

"It's my own people."

Qi Long hurriedly stopped the two, and said with a pale smile: "Old man Lu, Lao Tzu has a bad year, and he has planted it again..."

"Don't talk yet."

Guo Luquan's face was solemn, and he quickly left with the three of them.

On the counter in the hall, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts frowned slightly, and called the guy to whisper...

……

Inside, the lights are bright and the smell of blood is full.

On the bed, Qi Long was already unconscious, the five finger holes in his chest were bleeding nonstop, and a large area of charred black and ulceration around him turned green.

"Corpse poison!"

Guo Luquan's complexion changed, his hands were like the wind, he first quickly scraped off the carrion with a knife, then used a fire cup to pull out the poisonous blood, and then took out the medicinal powder from his arms...

After a while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and bandaged it carefully.

Behind a few people, the guy from the Four Seas Inn held a plate, bowed down with an unchanged face, and said, "What else do you need?" ”

Sihaimen has a hand in business, Guo Luquan just took Qi Long back to the small courtyard, and in a blink of an eye, a guy sent all kinds of injury medicine needle jars.

"No need."

Wang Xuan waved his hand and sent the guy away, stared at the master and apprentice of the treasure holder, and said, "The two of you met again, what happened?" ”

"Needless to say!"

Guo Luquan was angry, "This is an old zombie's injury, he must have dug a grave!" ”

The little apprentice in the sheepskin jacket blushed: "Nonsense, our old Yang family only holds treasures, does not dig graves, and is not the same as those Tufuzi." ”

"Hanwa, shut up."

The old man in the sheepskin jacket stopped the apprentice, took off the cigarette pouch and pot from his waist, and after a few puffs, he wrinkled his face and said, "Since you are familiar with Qi Ye, the old man will not hide it from you." ”

"The scoundrel and I make a living by taking over the Xiao family's treasure pavilion business, so we met Qi Ye, this time I took the task and went to do business with the woodmen in the mountains, but who knew that something happened."

"Woodcutter?"

Wang Xuan didn't care about it originally, but this time he became interested...
