Shanqian Village is not far from the county seat, Qi Jingzhi's footsteps are fast, and he arrived at the west gate of the county seat in a short time.

When he saw that the gates were still closed, and knew that he had come early, he went to the base of the wall, and raised his head to read the inscription on the wall.

The latest one, when he entered the city the day before yesterday, was not there, and it was clearly written: "Recently, there has been a new tiger infested in Nangang, which has injured a lot of people. In the past, merchants postponed their southward journeys to avoid being harmed by tigers, and they all knew about it. ”

Qi Jingzhi read the list text, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it was so troublesome that the trade route was cut off, and the government was just blindly persecuting the township, not only did he refuse to ask for help, but he even refused to offer a reward?

After waiting for a moment, there was a sudden tooth-aching creak at the city gate, and two huge door panels slowly opened.

In the cave of the city gate, an old man with thinning hair and crooked clothes walked out rubbing his sleepy eyes.

When he saw the young man, he asked with some surprise, "Didn't you just enter the city, why did you come again?" ”

As he spoke, the old man had already seen the bamboo cage in the young man's hand, and immediately understood: "Yes, the capable hunters in the four miles and eight townships have all gone to Nangang, the mountain goods market in the county is bullish, and the mountain treasures of several restaurants are almost out of order, so it is time for your grandfather and grandson to make a small fortune." ”

"You're on duty again? Can you still eat the wild mushrooms you brought last time? ”

Qi Jingzhi turned his head, smiled at the old man, raised his hand and pointed at the list and asked, "This is said to be the cane limit, and when the deadline comes, I'm afraid that someone will be beaten again?" ”

The old pawn also laughed with the young man: "You grandfather and grandson are worried, the new things in this mountain are just different. ”

He glanced at the list and said nonchalantly: "It's light to hit the board!" The trade route was cut off, and the livelihood of many people was missed, and yesterday the big households in the county went to the county office, and several hunters were beaten and not to mention, and after the beating, they were driven back to Nangang. Want to learn from your grandfather and go home to recuperate? There are no doors! ”

"It's all the gentlemen's compassion. Where can I use my old and small? If you go, you will make a mess......"

Qi Jingzhi said casually, but he was relieved in his heart, thinking that the county government would not have time to pay attention to Chen Er's disappearance in the short term.

He shook the bamboo cage in his hand at the old man and said, "It's not for anything else to enter the city today, just because my grandfather said that he hadn't been to see Master Meng for a long time, so he rushed to send some game early in the morning, so as not to miss the time of the master's private school, which is a big sin." ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded again and again, and said, "Your kid is a good person who knows how to repay your kindness, and it is not in vain that Meng Fuzi bothered to give you a good name." Then don't bother and get in quickly! ”

Qi Jingzhi hurriedly thanked him, and ran to the city with the bamboo cage.

Meng Fuzi's house and private school is in Xicheng, not far from the city gate, Qi Jingzhi is familiar with the door, and he can reach it by his feet.

It was only halfway through the road that he had just turned a street corner when he suddenly saw a crowd of people in front of him, and many people were running in the same direction, making the originally wide street seem crowded.

"It's early in the morning, why are so many people stuck here?"

Qi Jing's heart was strange, he was coerced by the crowd, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

There was no need to ask, and naturally the sound of discussion reached the ears of the teenager.

"Did you hear that? The young owner of the Lu family's cloth shop turned out to be a monster, with a pair of horns on his head! ”

"No, it is said that Lu Jiaerlang is hiding at home and has not gone out for several days. This was originally well hidden, but for some reason the news leaked! ”

"Go faster, the county town specially sent a master to come down to arrest him, and if it's too late, he won't be able to see it!"

Hearing this, Qi Jing's heart suddenly felt ridiculous.

The name of Lu Jiaerlang in these people's mouths is Lu Ao, and like him, he also opened Meng in Meng Fuzi's private school.

Although Qi Jingzhi and Lu Ao are not familiar with each other, they are classmates after all, and they have never seen any horns on each other's heads.

As for the so-called county masters, they didn't go to Nangang to quell the tiger trouble, but came to the county town to catch monsters, which made the young man a little disapproving.

It's just that Lu Yunzi's Yin Jian is not far away, and it's not good to make a judgment on this, I just hope that Lu Ao is not as unlucky as himself, and he encounters some demons that take people's bodies.

At that moment, Qi Jingzhi's curiosity was aroused, and he took out the foot strength he had practiced when chasing prey in the mountains, and strode wildly, rushing to the front in a few clicks, and seized a great position in the innermost before the crowd in front of the cloth gate closed.

Qi Jingzhi is no stranger to the Lu family cloth shop, every time he entered the city in the past, he had to pass in front of his house, knowing that this shop was not big, but it was actually a front store and a backyard pattern, and Lu Ao's family lived in the backyard with a few guys.

At this time in the past, the cloth shop had already opened its doors to welcome customers, and sometimes Lu Ao could be seen sitting at the counter checking the accounts.

Although the door was opened today, there were not half of the customers in it, and only a big man stood at the bottom of the front steps of the door, facing the store and standing with his hands in his hands.

This big man is extremely tall, straight like an iron tower, even if he stands at the bottom of the steps, he is still half a head taller than the door of the store, and his physique is even more majestic, and his shoulders are horizontal, not much narrower than the door panel.

The most special thing is that his whole body is shrouded in a black satin hooded cloak, and his face seems to be wearing a mask, wrapping himself tightly, revealing the momentum of being unapproachable from the inside out.

The crowd of onlookers was so intimidated by its momentum that no one dared to raise their voices to talk loudly.

In addition, there was a tall steed beside the big man with a snow-white body and only a red mane like flames, which also attracted the attention of countless people.

A cloth shop man stood cowering on the steps in front of the store, his whole body shrouded in the shadow of the big man, and he was bowing his head and making a gesture of inviting inside.

The big man shook his head silently, and he didn't mean to enter the store at all.

The man's face was bitter, but he didn't dare to persuade him again.

Qi Jingzhi stood two zhang away from the oblique back of the big man, and secretly thought in his heart, this person in front of him must be the so-called master sent by the county town.

He also noticed that the other party did not have any accessories on his body, only embroidered a small red auspicious cloud on the outside of the neckline and cuffs, which was really eye-catching.

Dahan and the onlookers didn't wait long, and after a while, a group of people came out of the back of the store surrounded by a teenager.

This young man is Lu Ao, born with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, similar to Qi Jingzhi's age, but much thinner.

He wore a black scarf and soft hat on his head, but it was impossible to tell if he had horns.

Among the group of people surrounding Lu Ao, in addition to his parents and brothers, there are many well-known figures on the ground in the county, such as Qi Jingzhi and Lu Ao's Mengshi Meng Fuzi.

That's not all, there is even a person in this group of people wearing a green seven-grade official uniform, standing beside Lu Ao, who is clearly the county commander of the county.

With such stars and moons, even the county lord has been a foil, but it is definitely not a posture of catching monsters.

The onlookers immediately became agitated, pushing and shoving and rushing towards the door of the store.

The big man standing in front of the door turned his head sharply, staring left and right with his eyes widened.

Under the hood, the pupils of the big man's eyes were actually red, and there seemed to be flames shining out of them, which was more like a demon than Lu Ao.

The people who stood at the front of the crowd screamed in horror and retreated like a tide, but they were blocked by the people rushing from behind, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

Qi Jingzhi's feet took root and did not retreat, while struggling to resist the thrust from behind him, his eyes staring at the big man's red eyes.

Although compared to the few in Lu Yunzi's remnants, the appearance of this big man is not surprising, but after all, the remnants are separated by a layer, and they are far less shocking than what they have seen with their own eyes.

At this moment, there was only one thought circling back and forth in the young man's heart: "This person is born so peculiarly, and he has cultivated such a fierce arrogance, he must have skills beyond ordinary people, but I don't know how to compare with the former Lu Yunzi?" ”

The red-eyed man frightened the onlookers with just one look, but he didn't make any further moves, turned his head to look at Lu Ao, and shouted: "You come forward!" ”
