Lin Manliu and the two people who walked out of the city did not take long to find the horses hidden here in the bamboo forest.

The boy in the short shirt watched as the bamboo leaves and grass scattered on the ground were eaten up. He looked at the two tall horses who had stopped where they were, and now they were a little hungry and thin... Lin Manliu was a little glad that he didn't bring Xiao Huang with him on this trip, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be starved.

"Later, we'll hide the horses in that secluded little yard and then return to the shop!" Jiang Yanlin originally wanted to ask, why didn't they hide the horses in the shop, they went to the secluded courtyard.

But looking at the young man in the short shirt who had already led the horse back to the city gate, he had to dispel his thoughts. Brother Liu must have his concerns, so it's better not to ask more.

Lin Manliu's reminder sounded in front of him: "Let's go back quickly, we may have to meet those soldiers to close the city gate later..." Brother Liu, wait for me! The two of them led the horse and walked all the way to the east gate of Fengcheng without looking back.

Not far from where they were, in the depths of the bamboo forest, there had been a purple-robed and black-crowned Taoist priest.

He held the sword in his arms and watched silently as Lin Manliu and the two of them went away. After confirming that the two of them had entered the city, he spit out the bamboo branch that had been in his mouth for a long time on the ground, and then turned around and went in the direction of the stargazing.

At this moment, Lin Manliu had already taken Jiang Yanlin to the door of the secluded courtyard. This time, the short-shirted boy didn't have the ability to get the key from a gap like the pastry shop before.

Lin Manliu said loudly: "Yanlin, you give it a little..."Jiang Yanlin watched the short-shirted young man pull out the black short sword at his waist, and asked out in a somewhat puzzled voice.

"What is Brother Liu doing..."Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Manliu suddenly raise Shan Yexing above his head, and then slashed down with a sword!

Clang! A crisp sound sounded in front of the two of them, and then Jiang Yanlin realized that Brother Liu was preparing to forcibly break the door...

"Brother Liu, this will disturb the people nearby..."Lin Manliu said: "Don't worry, I specially looked at it when I went out just now, and there are many fewer people here than before!" "The copper lock that locked the hospital door was cut in half by Yamano Yuki.

The boy in the short shirt pushed the courtyard door with both hands, and with

The "squeak" of the door opened. The interior of the secluded courtyard here appeared in front of the two of them. Lin Manliu looked at the couch in front of the main house that had not been removed, which was the place where he rested when the old liar taught him to practice swords.

Although it is a little more dusty now, it can still bring back those trivial memories of the teenager... Jiang Yanlin led the horses into it, and Lin Manliu also came out from the side room with two buckets.

He poured all the water from the water bladder around his waist into the bucket, so that the two tall horses could eat some water first.

The short-shirted boy said: "After returning to the shop later, I will find some more forage, and when the time comes, you will stay there for a long time, and wait for me to come back!" Jiang Yanlin scratched the neck of one of the horses, turned to look at Lin Manliu and nodded a few times.

"Understood!" Then on the way back to the pastry shop, when Lin Manliu was chatting casually, he pointed out to Jiang Yanlin where the dry toilet was.

After returning him safely to the pastry shop, this time the short-shirted boy prepared to head west of the city to have a look. It was just after sunset, and it was time for the big families to hang out on the west side of the city.

Lin Manliu passed through the Taoist temple that had long been uninhabited, and then crossed the archway building representing the west of the city, and completely walked into the west side of Fengcheng.

What catches your eye is the people who live here, and some of the vendors who don't bother to pay attention to it at night and are still shouting.

In Fengcheng, after all, there is still something that has not changed. The boy in the short shirt walked as he carefully avoided the gaze of others.

Originally, he wanted to find out the news from the restaurant, but he was attracted by a tea stall not far in front. From that tea stall came a few shouts from time to time, some arguing, some echoing, and even more arrogant words from people on both sides.

"When those Liaoyuan troops didn't come before, we could be squeezed by those stinky Taoist priests in the city all day long!"

"If you want me to say, those masters who are guarding the city are all cowards... Look at the appearance of those Liaoyuan troops passing by! Here are a few skinny monkeys! "The Liaoyuan army that stepped on the snow marquis, had you passed by Fengcheng before?

"Gotcha! In previous years, wasn't your lord who gave the most money? There are a lot more fake Taoist priests at home than you subordinates! ”

"It's not my money, why don't you let my brother look down on those Taoist priests?" As these words sounded, there was laughter in the tea stalls.

Lin Manliu did not rush into the tea stall, but stopped by a pillar and waited for the next article.

"Now those Taoist priests are all cultivating on the mountain, and they haven't gone down the mountain to preach, and my lord's money bag is a little bulging!"

"Then do you have to chase those Liaoyuan troops and kowtow to people a few more times? Let them come to Fengcheng a few more times! ”

"How can we catch up with this?" the short-shirted boy was about to continue walking forward when he heard the shouts from the tea stall again.

"Do any brothers know where those officials are going, and show us a good brother a clear way!" It was a man with a stubble on his face who looked around the stall with a tea bowl and did not look at the person who had asked the question.

It's clear that he wants to embarrass that person, and anyone can see this deliberate performance.

For a while, the tea stalls were scrambling to babble... Some people say that the Liaoyuan Army returned to the north, some people say that the Liaoyuan Army continued to go south, and some people also say that those Liaoyuan Army will come back after catching up with the Ming Dynasty!

And they were in the possession of the people

When the words "Liaoyuan Army" were used as jokes, a man in the tea stall who had never spoken a word put the tea bowl upside down on the table.

"Fuck me down!" Everyone looked at the man, and soon someone began to whisper to the person next to him, about the man's origin.

"Isn't this the groom of the Tian family... I didn't see the brothers before, why do you have spare money to come here for tea? ”

"I heard that one of his brothers left a few years ago and has never returned..."

"When you say that, I remember! He always said that his brother, who didn't know how to die, is now in the army! The words in the tea stall did not stop because of the man's shouting, but intensified.

No matter who they are, they have to bring up some old things, and give a strange lecture to the groom in their eyes.

Lin Manliu took a step forward, but quickly stopped again. This is not the time to come out strong, don't reveal your whereabouts... The boy in the short shirt had to stop again and continue to watch the changes in the tea stall.

Originally, he was a servant in some large households, and he was judging the Liaoyuan army that was crossing the border from Fengcheng.

As the groom stopped, everyone began to turn to verbal criticism of him and his brother.

The man clenched his fists, looking at the abuse and ridicule of these people in front of him, he wanted to lift the table in front of him.

But in his heart, he was worried that he would be surrounded by everyone in front of him, and the Tian family he served would not care about the life or death of a horseman.

The man could only say in a deep voice: "My brother must be going to join the army!" What's more, you people, how can you casually mention those soldiers on the border! But before the man spoke again, someone immediately refuted.

"Has our Fengcheng ever had a disaster? And then the soldiers who defended the city... Haven't you seen when they bowed their heads to those Taoist priests before! ”

"Those soldiers and officials, their faces are so big that they can hear what we are saying here!"

"Even if I say ten or a hundred sentences here, someone will stop me?" The shouting grew louder and louder, and the groom became more and more embarrassed, and he wanted to get up and walk out of the tea stall.

But just as he was about to make a move, he was pressed back by the person next to him.

"You still want to leave?"

"Wasn't it quite fierce to call before, why did this become a coward?" The groom gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd in front of him, staring at the stubble man who scolded him and his brother.

"Yo... Hurry up and call your brother to take you away? ”

"I'll unload your arm today, and it's not easy for you to drive!" Just as the stubble man was about to step forward to make a move, he suddenly felt a sore in his waist, which soon turned to tingling.

"Ah!!h After his screams rang out, everyone noticed that someone was behind them.

Lin Manliu was also a little surprised, he had never noticed anyone entering the tea stall when he peeked outside the tea stall before.

When everyone's eyes looked at the person who suddenly appeared, they found that it was a famous Taoist priest.

The purple-robed and black-crowned Taoist priest stabbed the stubble man in the back of the waist with the end of the dust whisk in his hand. He said with a smile on his face: "Did you say bad things about my stargazing before? The stubble man explained in horror: "No... No... We're talking about the Rebellion Army in transit... They ruined the great affairs of the Dao Master..."I originally thought that such flattering words could impress the purple-robed Daoist behind him.

But who knew that the strength in the man's hand rose again, causing the stubble man to start screaming.

"Dao Ye spares his life!! Dao Ye spared his life!! The purple-robed Taoist said loudly: "Do you say that it is a coincidence? Do I have brothers who serve in the army? As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the tea stall who had previously ridiculed the stargaz or the Yanyang soldiers began to look ugly.

The stubble man was so stabbed by the dust that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to beg bitterly.

"Please also ask the Taoist to bypass the small one..."The purple-robed Taoist withdrew his strength in his hand, but in the next moment, he grabbed his right hand and grabbed it back, and directly threw the man out of the tea stall.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, and they all began to retreat, wanting to stay away from this purple-robed Taoist priest as much as possible.

"In the future, please remember that no matter here or the entire southern Xinjiang, who has the final say?" In the face of the reprimand of the purple-robed Daoist, no one dared to speak out against it, and they all nodded their heads.

"Why don't you get out of here?" With the man's words again, the originally crowded tea stall was suddenly empty.

Only the groom who was responsible for driving for the Tian family was left, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Thank you for your help!" Did the little one go first? Lin Manliu, who was in the distance, saw that the matter had been resolved, and was preparing to escape as soon as possible.

As a result, I heard the purple-robed Daoist's voice: "Do you think you can still go?" "It was for him, not for the groom.
