Qiu County.

As the name suggests, there are so many hills that no one can remember how many, and more than half of them have no names.

Because there are too many hills, the population is sparse, and the area is vast, although it is only one county, it is actually larger than a county, and it is the largest county in the entire Tiandu Prefecture.

This county is adjacent to Wuyuan County, which is the westernmost county of Lingzhou, and further west, it is the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty - Huangzhou, a place of four wars.

On an official road leading to Wuyuan County, a team of people and horses are coming leisurely.

There are about 20 people, all men, and the clothes they wear are very simple, and many of them are in tattered clothes.

In full agreement, they were all on horseback and carrying weapons around their waists.

In the middle of the procession, there were also five flatbed trucks, each of which contained some boxes, which were locked and sealed.

At the handle of the flatbed truck, there is a flag with red characters on a black background, and the four big characters of "Weiyuan Dart Bureau" are embroidered on it.

This team is impressively a team of darts.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a fat head and big ears, a full beard, a thick and loud voice, and half of a sentence is dirty.

He held a portrait in his hand and said, "Damn it! What is this Wang Xuanfu? A head is worth so much money! ”

A young man half a body behind him replied, "I guess which old man's concubine you put on it." ”

The middle-aged man slapped him on the back of the head and scolded, "Fuck you!" Why is the concubine so expensive? 100,000 taels of gold, do you fucking know how much 100,000 taels of gold is? ”

The young man sneered twice and said, "Chief, do you know how much a hundred thousand taels of gold is?" ”

Although the middle-aged man is the chief dart master of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, he has never seen so much gold, and said ambiguously: "The top card of "Xiangyi Yuan" is worth a hundred taels of gold and 100,000 taels of gold in one night, think about it, how many nights can you sleep." ”

"A thousand nights, this must not make her smoke!" The young man smirked lewdly.

"Hey! You're too weak! If she can last for a month, Lao Tzu will not be a pure man! Another man behind him said.

"A month? Ten days! Lao Tzu can let her pee in ten days! ”

"Cut! Three days! Three days at most! Lao Tzu won't even let her pull and pee! ”

……

More slot men joined the discussion.

The few people at the back of the line wanted to join in, but they couldn't get closer, so they could only talk in private.

Several of them were relatively young, one was bald, one was black-faced, one had sharp-beaked monkey gills, and one had a cape, one eye covered by bangs, revealing only the other eye.

The bald man turned his head and grinned at the man with the hair half a body behind him, "Doctor Wang, do you know who that Wang Xuanfu is?" A head is worth a hundred thousand taels of gold. ”

The man with the hair smiled and said nothing, he knew, and knew better than anyone who Wang Xuanfu was.

Because there is no one in the world who knows his own details better than himself, and if there is, then this person must be your enemy!

This man with hair is none other than Wang Cheng.

On that day, he was chased and killed by the old man of Yin Tong, and jumped into the river in desperation, because there was a colorful toad's inner Dan protective body, ice and water could not hurt him, and he was lucky to escape the pursuit of the old man Yin Tong.

Later, he fled all the way, and he didn't think about where to flee, in short, he kept haunting places with many rivers. For three days in a row, he lived in the water for almost all of them, and after swimming for an unknown number of miles, he finally got rid of the soul chasing beast completely.

This is also why Pan Meng has not waited for the news of his appearance, but he doesn't know the false news that Pan Meng let people release.

When he went ashore, he had already come to the boundary of Qiu County, and he was running into Zhang Laosan, who was walking a dart, and a group of people from the Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

Because several people in the team were injured while walking darts, he rescued a few people out of kindness, and Zhang Laosan, the head of the dart, treated him as a guest.

In fact, Zhang Laosan has been guarding against him, how can there be a guest at the back of the line?

He is also happy and idle, the third child has been walking darts for so many years, a pair of eyes are very poisonous, and he has been staying together for a long time, it is inevitable that he will see the flaws, and at that time his head may really be taken out to receive a reward.

"I didn't expect my head to be so valuable!"

Wang Cheng secretly laughed at himself, but he didn't expect his head to be put on the shelf one day.

His heart was heavy, and now he could be said to be out of Ning Hou's control, but his subordinates were still there, and he didn't know if Ning Hou would embarrass them.

Of course, even if Ning Hou really took his anger out on Xu Chao and the others, he would not reappear. After Qinglong's beating, he knew very well that he would not have a second chance to escape from Ning Hou's hands.

As the master told him on his deathbed, the path he took was full of dangers, and he had to live.

"Brothers, Wuyuan County is almost here, let's hurry up and strive to advance to Wuyuan County after dark!"

There was a shout from the head of the dart, Zhang Laosan, and a group of men followed the shout of "wow", and the team sped up.

Evening.

A group of about 20 people finally arrived in Wuyuan County, a county town the size of an ordinary county seat.

The city wall is only more than three meters high, far less than Tiandu City, and the wall is not built with hard bluestone, but the most ordinary yellow bricks, and there are cracks in many places.

Although the city is small, it still can't extinguish the excitement of everyone, they have been on the road for nearly two days, and they really don't want to sleep in the open anymore.

After paying dozens of taels of silver, the soldiers guarding the city did not embarrass Zhang Laosan and others, nor did they go to check, and directly let them into the city.

This is not the first time that the Weiyuan Dart Bureau has passed here, and the chief dart leader, Zhang Laosan, is very familiar with the soldiers guarding the city.

Wang Cheng followed everyone into the city, and there was no document pasted at the gate of the city about his arrest, which made him even more relieved.

Soon after entering the city, they came to an inn called "Xilaile" in the west of the city.

When they arrived, there were already several tables of people in the inn, drinking and joking, so lively.

Wang Cheng followed the chief dart head Zhang Laosan and others to the innermost tables of the inn, and several tables were put together into a long table, just enough to accommodate everyone.

"Xiao Er, bring good wine and good food to Lao Tzu!" Zhang Laosan shouted at the top of his voice.

"Third master, you wait for a while, and I'll get it for you." Xiao Er obviously also recognized Zhang Laosan.

Soon, a large table of wine and food was arranged.

Zhang Laosan picked up the wine bowl, looked at the brothers, and said, "The old rule, the ten brothers who are on vigil tonight are not allowed to drink, and the other brothers are up to three bowls!" ”

Everyone nodded, the dart game has always regarded the "dart" as more important than life, and if you drink too much, you will make a mistake.

That is, this inn is not the first time they have dealt with it, they are very familiar, and they don't drink at all.

Wang Cheng also put a bowl full of wine in front of him, but he didn't drink a sip, just ate some vegetables.

The food here is naturally not as good as Tiandu Mansion, and the method is more simple and rough in the northwest, but it is also in line with the taste of rough men like Zhang Laosan.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Laosan came to Wang Cheng with a wine bowl, sat beside him familiarly, put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Doctor Wang, my third child has no other skills, and after walking for so many years, he has practiced this pair of tricks." ”

He pointed to his eyes and whispered: "You are a capable person, these juniors have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and they haven't seen a real dragon, don't be surprised by them." ”

Wang Cheng was shocked, why did this third man tell him this for no reason?

Have you recognized him?

He stared at Zhang Laosan, but Zhang Laosan lowered his head by chance.

He took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into Wang Cheng's hand, and said, "This is the consultation fee you used to save my brother before, and it is not much. ”

Wang Cheng felt the weight in his hand, at least fifty taels, and this consultation fee could not be considered small.

He immediately thought of something, and gave so much silver at once, which was driving him away.

So he said with interest: "Thank you for the support of the chief dart head along the way, and I will almost reach the destination below, so I will no longer bother the chief dart." ”

Zhang Laosan patted Wang Cheng on the shoulder, "haha" and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu knows that Dr. Wang is a capable person, and it is true." ”

Wang Cheng was no longer bored with himself, he simply ate something, booked a room with Xiao Er, and went upstairs alone.

Several people who had been treated by Wang Cheng before were a little unhappy, and their own darts were a little inauthentic.

"Boss, didn't you keep telling us before, what our dart bureau lacks the most is a doctor, Dr. Wang's medical skills are so clever, even more powerful than our county's Doctor Hu, why did you let him go?" A young man wondered.

"You kid knows a fart!"

Zhang Laosan slapped the back of the man's head and scolded: "That's what Lao Tzu told you, but even you kid knows that Dr. Wang has excellent medical skills, do you think he is a simple person?" ”

The man kept his head down and said nothing.

They are most afraid of encountering people of unknown origin, because no one knows whether these people are coming for their "darts", so they will not deal with strangers on weekdays.

"Humph! You kid still have a lot to learn! It's good to have a good heart, but don't treat everyone as a good person! ”

After a few more words of training for the young man, Zhang Laosan asked everyone to hurry up and finish their meals and rest, they still have a long way to go tomorrow.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they came to a courtyard behind the inn, which was the single courtyard where they were housed.

The single courtyard has always been guarded by people in case there is a problem with the "dart", and a new group of people have been replaced to guard the "dart", and the sky has already darkened.

There were fewer and fewer people eating in the inn, and they also went back to their rooms to rest.

The night is like water.

It's silent.

Zhang Laosan was lying alone on the bed, his eyes were closed, and his snoring was like thunder.

On the side was the dart he was responsible for escorting, and the entire twenty boxes were almost filling the entire room.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and they were as big and round as brass bells.
