Qingzhou City on the same day.

On the outskirts of Qingzhou City, there is a hillside that is not very tall, and the land boundary is by no means valuable, but since two years ago, that small hillside has become the property of the Chang family.

This incident was also a sensation in the entire Qingzhou City at that time, just because the people in the city did not understand the Chang family's actions, and in their eyes, why would a businessman who had always been unprofitable and could not afford to buy a piece of wasteland.

Looking from the distance on the city wall of Qingzhou, you can vaguely see that the small hillside that was originally overgrown with weeds has been cleaned up by the people of the Chang family in the past two years.

It's just that although there are no messy weeds, there are other things that are densely packed and occupy the entire hillside.

The Chang family did not send anyone to garrison this place, but still no one has ever come to this hillside, because it occupies this hillside.

It's a tombstone, a tombstone all over the mountains.

The heaviness of death emanating from that hillside would not have been touched by anyone passing by.

At dusk, the setting sun illuminates half of the hillside, and Chang An sits on the hillside, staring at the wordless stone tablet that surrounds him in the middle.

It's a full two thousand two hundred and seven tombstones, each representing a deceased warrior.

This is the hero's mound he built.

He picked up the flask in his hand, held it high to the sky, and laughed

"Everyone, forgive Chang for not being able to be buried here with you, and when he meets in the underworld, Chang will punish himself with a thousand cups and make amends with you!"

With that, he took back the flask and drank it down.

Then he got up and drew his long sword.

Wow! Chang An's posture is free and easy, and his slightly drunk sword moves are wanton and indulgent, and he can do whatever he wants.

"Gentlemen, look at this sword!"

At this time, Chang An was holding the sword of the sword god, he stood in front of the two thousand two hundred and seven tombstones, and used this sword to announce to them the victory of the world, the defeat of the sword god, and the glorious past of their killing gods.

"Brother Chang!"

Soon after, in the distance, Zhuang Zhiyu shouted for Chang An and ran towards him.

Chang An put away his sword, bowed deeply towards the two thousand two hundred and seven tombstones.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Chang An asked.

Zhuang Zhiyu's face was slightly red, and he gasped and said

"I'm looking at the people you said."

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Zhuang Sleeve Yu patted his chest confidently

"Of course, as you said, a team of men and horses came from the east, and the man at the head did not look like a man, but he was wearing gorgeous clothes, and he was followed by a dozen burly men in civilian clothes."

Chang An nodded and smiled, since he heard Zhuang Zhiyu say that the man at the head didn't look like a man, he knew that eight or nine were not far from ten.

"In that case, it's time for us to go."

Zhuang Sleeve Yu jumped up excitedly, grabbing Chang An's arm with both hands and shaking.

"I'm finally going to go through the rivers and lakes with Brother Chang."

…………

Facing the side of the hill, there is a wide official road, which connects Qingzhou with the imperial capital, Taiyang City.

On the official road, a group of people slowly marched from east to west, led by a man dressed as a wealthy businessman, with white temples and quite old, but his face was red and white, and he was holding a piece of white embroidered silk cloth that his daughter's family would use.

No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a man.

But the dozen or so men behind him were all fierce and vicious.

It was this group of men and horses, and when they reached the bottom of the hill, the leader man gently pinched the orchid fingers.

"Stop!"

The man's voice was extremely sharp and piercing, which was diametrically opposed to the rough voices of the old men on weekdays, if it weren't for the fact that he had a man's face, no one would think that this was a man.

The strange thing was that the strong men behind him were not surprised at all, as if they had long been accustomed to the man's voice.

With that stop, the rich merchant man stretched out his right hand, and the strong men behind him paused in unison, like well-trained soldiers.

The rich merchant man glanced slightly at the hillside by the road, lightly opened his lips, and the harsh voice came again.

"This is the piece of land that the Chang family bought in the rumor?"

A strong man who followed closely behind him stepped forward and bowed his head

"Back to my lord, yes."

The rich merchant man smiled slightly

"Ouch, I forgot what it was called."

The strong man took the conversation and said flatteringly

"Master, it's called the Hero's Tomb."

The rich businessman was stunned

"Ah, yes, yes, it's called this name, and it is said that the people buried here are the great heroes of the world, but it is really majestic."

The strong man asked again

"Master, are we going straight into the city?"

The rich merchant thought for a moment and asked

"What's the news in the city?"

Strong man said

"There was news in the city early this morning that Chang An led a girl out of the city."

The rich merchant's expression became anxious, and he hurriedly asked

"Girls? What does it look like, is it holding a pot of flowers? ”

The strong man said again

"No, it's a bow on his back."

When the rich merchant man heard this, he let out a sigh of relief

"No, in that case, let's go straight to the city."

After speaking, everyone continued to walk along the official road.

About half an hour later, everyone had already seen the head of Qingzhou from afar, and the rich merchant man was happy, and he drove for a few days to finally arrive in Qingzhou.

The strong men behind him also looked relaxed

"Master, we're here."

The rich merchant man nodded slightly and said with a smile

"I have worked hard for you all this way, and when I arrive in Qingzhou, I will invite you to have a good meal."

The strong men thanked them

"Thank you, sir."

As the crowd continued to walk, the rich merchant man asked

"Have you found out the address of Changfu?"

The strong man behind him said

"I heard it, and it's in the east of the city, and the largest household is."

After another half an hour, the sky had already darkened, and the night sky was already full of stars.

The rich merchant and others had already entered the city and came to the door of an inn in the east of the city.

"Everyone, let's stay here for one night today, eat and drink well, and do business with me tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

When everyone entered the inn, the clever shopkeeper saw them at a glance, and greeted them with a professional smile.

"Do you want to stay at the hotel?"

The strong man behind him was not angry and arrogant, and shouted

"Nonsense, it's hard to sleep on the street if you don't stay in the store at night."

The shopkeeper secretly estimated their number, and took advantage of the time just now to look at the rich merchant from head to toe carefully.

A person like him, his eyesight is not bad after all, he has a smile on his face, but he is also very happy in his heart, knowing that he has a big business tonight, he doesn't dare to slack off at the moment, and he gently slapped his mouth.

"Yes, yes, look at this little mouth, talk some nonsense."

The rich merchant man smiled and stopped the strong man behind him and said

"My subordinates are not sensible, Xiao Er, we want five upper rooms, and then send us five tables of good wine and good food."

As he spoke, he casually sent out a gold ingot, which was very generous.

Xiao Er was startled when he heard the voice of the rich merchant man, but when he saw that the rich merchant casually took out a piece of gold, he was overjoyed, and secretly glad that he had not offended the gold owner just now.

After taking the gold, but he was a little embarrassed, the rich merchant man saw Xiao Er's expression was very strange, so he asked

"Little Er, but what's the difficulty?"

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and asked tentatively

"Distinguished guest, let's here, there are only four upper rooms left tonight, why don't you change to an ordinary room?"

The rich businessman's face was a little displeased

"Then can I switch rooms with other guests, I can pay double the price."

Xiao Er thought for a while

"It's not impossible."

As he spoke, his eyes looked at a guest sitting in the middle of the inn lobby.

"It just so happens that the guest has just checked into the third room of Tianzi today, you can go and negotiate."

The strong man behind the rich merchant heard the words and said

"It's so troublesome, I'll go talk to him."

The rich merchant stretched out his hand to stop the strong man

"I'd better go myself."

The rich merchant looked at the man and walked over slowly, but saw that the man was sitting upright with his back to the rich merchant, dressed in a pale robe, like a scholar seen in the city.

But he did not wear a crown, and looking at the figure of the man, it seemed that he had not yet reached the age of a weak crown.

After about ten breaths, the rich merchant came to the scholar's table, tried to lower his voice as much as possible, and tried not to sound so harsh, and said with a gentle face

"This little gentleman, can I discuss something with you?"

The little scholar obviously didn't expect this rich merchant who suddenly came to him, and his white and tender face was a little surprised.

But he was evidently very well cultivated, and in an instant, his surprised look turned into an elegant smile, and he stretched out his hand and motioned for the rich merchant to sit down

"Please."

The rich merchant sat down slowly, and he carefully examined the scholar, his face was white and tender, and his hands showed no signs of rough work. Xindao: It's really a scholar who doesn't listen to anything outside the window.

"Under Wang Huan, I don't know what Mr. Xiao is called."

The little scholar's eyes were clear, he looked at the wealthy businessman named Wang Huan, then smiled slightly, and dipped his fingers in the water in the teacup in front of him.

Gently, he made a few strokes on the wine table, and the handwriting was clear and clear.

Wang Huan smiled bitterly, and said to himself: If you are really a sour scholar, you just ask for a name, but you also have to dance and ink.

But the problem is, he is illiterate.

I had to say it at the moment

"Mr. Xiao, this is difficult for Wang, and he is illiterate."

The little scholar's face changed

"You can't read? That's impossible. ”

Then he realized that he was abrupt again, and said apologetically

"Look at how you dress, you don't look like an illiterate person."

Wang Huan's face was slightly ashamed

"I can't read."

The little scholar didn't dwell too much, his upbringing since childhood didn't allow him to speculate about others at will, at the moment, he said

"It's an omission under it, and it's a light text under it."

"Bu Qingwen is a good name."

Wang Huan said, he was about to continue talking, but saw that Bu Qingwen's attention was not on him, but listening to the conversation of the person at the next table.

I was curious at the moment, so I listened to it along

"Hey, have you heard, in the past few days, that son of the Gu family has appeared."

"Which Gu family?"

"Which one else can there be, isn't it the King of the Northern Realm, the Gu family of Gu Jingshi?"

"Didn't that Gu family be wiped out a year ago? How can there still be a young master alive. ”

"Who said no, the Gu family was full of loyalty, who knew that Gu Jingshi went to the imperial capital and never came back, and the Gu family was wiped out overnight. However, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Gu family's doorman desperately rescued the Gu family's son, but no one knows whether it is true or not. ”

"This matter was very sensational at the time, it is said that it alarmed the Chu family, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the master of the Chu alliance learned that General Gu had died in the imperial capital, so he led people to attack day and night, and rushed to the Gu family in the north, but it was still a step too late."

"You said that this son of the Gu family appeared at this time to take revenge?"

"Humph! Avenge? When everyone is a fool, Gu Jingshi, the king of the northern realm, has great military achievements, and the famous town is in the north, that is, Jiajiazhuang, who was in charge of the northern martial arts at the beginning, has to give him three points of thin noodles, in today's world, who dares to attack him, except for the imperial capital, who else can there be? ”

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Wang Huan's eyes widened angrily, and he stood up with a look of excitement

"It's a bunch of nonsense, His Majesty the Emperor of the People's Republic of China is so broad-minded, don't say that he will not kill meritorious ministers, that is, with the friendship between Lord Gu and His Majesty, how could His Majesty the Emperor of the People's Emperor do this. Even on that day, Lord Gu did not obey the order and entered Beijing without permission, His Majesty only ordered the Lord of the Criminal Department to be detained pending trial, and he was reluctant to move Lord Gu to a single hair, and he waited for the people of the rivers and lakes to hearsay, and dared to slander today's saints at will! ”

Beside him, Bu Qingwen gently pulled Wang Huan's sleeve and glanced at the person at the table next to him awkwardly.

The three big men at the side table looked at Bu Qingwen and Wang Huan unscrupulously, and one of them looked contemptuous and said

"Where did the old thing come from, a few brothers are chatting about your, His Majesty the Emperor is your own father, so protective, besides, that Emperor is in charge of the heavens and the earth, and he can still control our talk."

"Hahaha, that's it."

Not only the three big men, but the people around them also echoed loudly.

In the distance, Wang Huan's subordinates who sensed that something was wrong changed their faces, but they wanted to draw their knives and move.

Wang Huan looked at the laughter of the people around him, knowing that he was too excited, and thought of the secret mission assigned by His Majesty the Emperor this time, and thought that it should not be too public, so he broke out in a cold sweat.

At that moment, he signaled to his subordinates not to cause trouble.

Slowly sat back down.

Said apologetically to the three big men

"It's because I don't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, and I abruptly surprised the three heroes."

The three big men snorted, but they didn't dwell on it anymore, and continued to gossip on their own.

The martial arts people around who were watching the excitement thought they could watch a good show, but it stopped abruptly, and they shook their heads in disappointment.

Bu Qingwen looked at Wang Huan with a smile and said

"Boss Wang, see that you don't often walk around the rivers and lakes, you must know that the people in the rivers and lakes have never given face to the court, and the court can't help them, the two sides have always looked at each other wrongly, you are this set, it may be okay to deal with those officials of the court, but it will not work for them,"

Wang Huan also recalled his purpose at this time, and was almost taken away by these Jianghu people.

apologized to Bu Qingwen at the moment, but patted his head again and said

"Mr. Bu, I almost forgot to get down to business."

Wang Huan pointed to the dozen or so big men waiting at the door.

"That's the case, in the next group of people to Qingzhou, I wanted to rest here for a night, and set off tomorrow, but there are only four rooms left in the inn, and I want to use double the price to buy the upper room where you live now, of course, if Mr. feels that it is not enough to increase the price in the next room."

Bu Qingwen smiled elegantly, took a sip of tea, and said lightly

"What should I do, why not, if Boss Wang likes it, he can give in."

Wang Huan was overjoyed

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Bu."

After that, he said goodbye to Bu Qingwen and led his men upstairs.

Nabu Qingwen raised the teacup, drank it all, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and glanced at the three big men next to him.

"It's interesting, the people I met tonight are all interesting."

The next day, in the early morning, the sunlight entered Wang Huan's guest room, and although Wang Huan was sleeping with his eyes closed, the dazzling light still made him feel very uncomfortable.

He subconsciously blocked his palm in front of him to block out the sun.

But when his right hand was raised, his elbow inadvertently touched something, Wang Huan felt a little strange, why was there something next to his bed, so he reached out and touched it, but found that the thing was a little cold, but he could touch some hair, I don't know what it was, his curiosity was completely aroused at this time.

Wang Huan suddenly fell asleep, and he slowly opened his eyes.

But the next moment, his eyes widened, cold sweat broke out, his face was pale, and his fat body kept squirming back, as if he wanted to stay away from the object in front of him, and his teeth kept colliding and making a trembling sound.

The terrifying sight in front of me is like being in heaven, but the next moment you are dragged into hell by evil spirits.

His pupils were occupied by a human head.

Yes, a bloody human head, silently, was placed on his bed.

The man's head was still open, and he looked ahead in horror, just in time to meet Wang Huan's gaze.

After about three or four breaths, Wang Huan's screams finally resounded throughout the inn

"Ah~!"
