When night falls, the inn is very lively.

If these things didn't come out, it stands to reason that the caravan should have passed the Stagecoach Ridge at this time, but since they had some rare rest time, the guards naturally had to take advantage of it, so there were more people drinking in the inn lobby, and the shopkeeper was also smiling, and kept sending food and drink.

It's just that when there was a sound of armor in front of the inn, they couldn't laugh.

Zhen Ru, who was standing at the window on the second floor, looked down at the door of the inn that was illuminated by the torch as if it was daylight, and was really afraid of something, a group of people blocked the exit, and the person who took the lead was still ordering some people to block the back door, obviously so that none of the Zhen family firms could escape.

What made Zhen Ru desperate the most was the figure who gave orders, it was the young man in brocade clothes he met on the street this afternoon, that is, Zhou Hao, the eldest son of the school captain, so that the origin of those armored soldiers was revealed.

Zhou Hao raised his head, met Zhen Ru on the second floor with the light of the torch, and raised his eyebrows: "Catch the bandits, idle people, etc., and retreat by yourself." ”

These words did not make Zhen Ru feel at ease, today's inn, in addition to the trading house, it is estimated that there are only a few scattered people staying in the inn, Zhou Hao put on such a big battle, it is obvious that she is coming to the commercial house, although she is a woman... But she's not stupid.

No one responded, and Zhou Hao was not surprised, but just looked sideways at a reckless man next to the horse: "Ask you again, are you sure that the person inside is a Jiangyang thief?" ”

"Master Jun, that's absolutely right, I know him when he turns to ashes!" The man gritted his teeth, "When Hongwu was in the twelfth year..."

"Enough, don't talk about those old yellow calendars," Zhou Hao didn't bother to listen anymore, "As long as the person is right, you listen, don't hurt that woman in the slightest!" ”

This reckless man came to the door three days ago, claiming to have recognized a thief who killed people back then, and was in the convoy of a commercial house, for this kind of thing, Zhou Hao naturally scoffed, although the court has a reward for these evildoers, and Yimaling has also earned a lot of money on this over the years, but as a soldier guarding the customs, wouldn't it be true to attack the caravan? Even if you catch the thief, you will definitely lose more than you gain.

It's just that some things today have made Zhou Hao change his mind, it turns out that there is not only a big thief in this caravan, but also those people that the Mongols want, according to them, if this caravan goes further, it will not be able to return to Daming, in this case, why not let him Zhou Hao get a vote first?

Whether it's to exploit this caravan in the name of capturing thieves, or to let the woman obediently dedicate herself to a product... There's still a lot to do, but we have to clean up this caravan first, so that they feel that they can live and go to the grassland to do business.

Zhou Hao, who was sitting on the horse, just nodded slightly, and the soldiers who had contempt for these mud legs rushed into the inn with knives, and Zhen Ru, who was standing on the second floor, opened his mouth, but he couldn't shout if he didn't let the guards resist.

The steward who hurriedly pushed the door in thought about the names shouted by the soldiers just now, and looked guilty: "Boss, they... They're coming for me! ”

These words hit Zhen Ru's head like a thunderbolt from the sky, I thought it was just that the defenders of the pass wanted to find a reason to attack themselves, but I didn't expect the reason they were looking for to be implemented?

"Back then... Before I met Mr. Zhen, I did fall into the grass and did bad things, once I fell into trouble to meet Mr. Zhen, his old man did not dislike my identity, and gave me a stable life, and now the incident happened, I am sorry for you! ”

He pulled out the knife from his waist, his face was hideous, and the honest and capable steward seemed to have returned to the peak years when he drew a knife and killed people without saying a word: "I thought that this life would pass like this... It's really a wronged soul asking for life, the old enemy comes to the door, and there are some things that can't be run away if they can't run away. ”

"Owner, you go alone, the goods are gone, how many can survive the guards, don't be righteous for a while, lose your life, this rivers and lakes... There's no such thing anymore. ”

Zhen Ru was short of breath, her face was pale, and she held on to the hilt of her sword, but she couldn't pull it out, so she could only watch the old steward scream and pounce on the soldiers who killed the stairs, blood splashing everywhere.

Where did the chivalrous bones come from? Where does the drinking dust come from? Such bloody, such calculations, you can't hide from debts if you kill someone, you have to bow your head in front of the military array if you have martial arts, you can't be a person if you don't have enough food and clothing, you can't be a master, go to the end of the world with a fucking person and a sword, the rivers and lakes are such rivers and lakes!

The rivers and lakes are dead!

......

"Boss, let's..."

"It has nothing to do with us," Gu Huai shook his head, "The soldier is eyeing the merchant, no matter whether the thief's excuse is true or not, it will be difficult for this caravan to get out of the customs tonight." ”

Probably noticing Ren Wanbin's gaze, Gu Huai turned his head: "I think I'm cold-blooded, standing and saying cool things like a villain if I don't save me when I die?" ”

"You have to figure it out, we are just going to the grassland by the road, and we must be qualified to help each other when the road is uneven, the three of us... Two of them went up, but they were also sent to death in vain. ”

Probably because he didn't want to chill the heart of this man who was living at the bottom but still had blood, Gu Huai paused, and added: "The military discipline of the soldiers is corrupt, the military is in charge, and most of us are also the end of being a bandit, and when the time comes, we can't help, but also cause trouble to others, don't be impulsive." ”

Ma Sanbao on the side had already broken free from his emotional out-of-control, still with that expressionless appearance, after listening to Gu Huai's words, he just closed his eyes and recuperated, obviously acquiescing.

The sound of the fighting in the inn became more and more tragic, and you don't have to think about it to know that most of the screams came from the guys from the trading house, and fortunately, Gu Huai's room was at the end of the corridor, so the fighting did not spread, but listening to the sound, it is estimated that it is not far away.

The Zhen family business house is gone, naturally there are other caravans into the grassland, for the palace to do things, sometimes the identity is a good thing, can save a lot of trouble, sometimes it is also a burden, such as this time, it is not very good, once the palace is involved, the ghost knows what will evolve into the end.

made up his mind not to get involved in this matter, but the door was suddenly knocked open, and a bloodied figure fell in, and said with difficulty: "Help... Save..."

Ren Wanbin gritted his teeth, helped the guy up, and drew his knife to block the blow of the soldiers who followed, Gu Huai sighed, knowing that trouble was still coming to the door.

Sure enough, the soldier looked at Gu Huai and the three of them, looked unkind, and shouted towards the corridor:

"Come here! Here are three more! ”
