Chapter 22: Dragon Gate Inn
The next day, the sun soared.
Longmen City is boiling, and many people from the rivers and lakes have already traveled together, ready to go out of the customs and go to the desert.
There has been news on the rivers and lakes that the day when the treasure of the Great White Kingdom was born may be in these two days.
Most of these people are here for this, of course, some are purely here to join in the fun, but they don't want to miss the treasure birth, even if they can't get the treasure, they have to see the world and see what the black sandstorm in the desert can only appear once in Jiazi is like.
The desert in the northwest, the north is the Great Yuan, Jin, Liao and other foreign countries, to the west is the Great Song Dynasty, there are often caravans from the desert to trade, so the customs procedures are not cumbersome, as long as you can prove your identity, you can cross the customs exit.
Of course, after leaving the customs, life and death are conceited, and it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
But the people in the rivers and lakes are living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and if something happens to the rivers and lakes, if they still need help from the government, they are embarrassed to say that they are mixed with the rivers and lakes.
At this moment, since they dare to join in the fun, how can they be afraid of any danger?
Therefore, not long after dawn, many people from the rivers and lakes have already left the customs one after another, heading towards the place where the Great White Shangguo was born speculated on the rivers and lakes.
And among the people in the rivers and lakes, three figures riding high-headed horses slowly swept through the wind and sand, and the sound of conversation could be faintly heard from time to time:
"Overseer, last night there was another wave of Jianghu people, there was a fight in the city, and many people died, according to the investigation of Jinyiwei, it was found that most of the deceased had fine wounds, but it was obviously a sword wound to death, and the person who shot it was likely to be Blackstone's gold medal killer 'Drizzle'."
"Well, who are the dead?"
"Most of them are people from gangs on the rivers and lakes, and there are some elders and disciples of sects."
"That's supposed to be buying murderers, ignore them for the time being, and wait for the treasure matter to be over, and then come and investigate these things."
"Yes."
β¦β¦
On the high-headed horse, Yuhuatian is dressed as an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, with a silver and white sword hanging from his waist, and a white coat, which is less luxurious and majestic than usual, and has a little more chic and elegant atmosphere of fighting swords and horses.
Next to him were still Zhao Tong, who was carrying a double-headed gun, and Ding Xiu, who was dressed as a warrior, and the slender Great Imperial Forest Saber hung next to the horse.
In order to facilitate his actions, Yu Huatian still chose to act separately from Jinyiwei.
He took Zhao Tong and Ding Xiu to blend in with the martial arts people and act with the camera; Ma Jinliang and Ji Xueyong took the West Factory and the Jinyi Wei masters to stand by outside the pass, waiting for dispatch.
Looking at the crowds of people in the rivers and lakes around him, Yu Huatian said lightly: "Have you found any traces of the Sun Moon God Sect?" β
Zhao Tong said in a low voice: "I haven't found it for the time being, but according to Jinyiwei's speculation, the people of the Sun Moon God Sect may have already been out of the customs." β
Yuhuatian bowed slightly, although the identity certificate is required to exit the customs, but it is not only in accordance with the formal procedures from the Longmen Pass this road, for the people in the rivers and lakes, it is not difficult to mix out of the customs from other places on the border, and this desert is vast and boundless, and it is very simple to hide people.
"Haven't the people of the Ming Sect shown up yet?"
Zhao Tong shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, but we found out that the three secret agents of Heaven and Earth Xuan of Dragon Protector Villa are also here." β
Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly: "Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang?" β
"Yes."
Zhao Tong nodded.
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he shook his head and said: "It should be the Iron Courage Shenhou who sent them, and the emperor has explained that he will let the people of the Dragon Guardian Villa help us seize the treasure, but since they don't want to join forces with us, then don't pay attention to them, at the critical moment, they will make a move, otherwise they won't be able to pay the difference when they go back." β
"Yes."
Amid the lively conversation, the crowd gradually went deeper into the desert.
As he reached the slightly raised sand dunes, Yuhuatian slowed down and looked at the yellow sand in the distance, which reflected a faint golden yellow in the sunlight.
"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river!" Yu Huatian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Zhao Tong said respectfully: "The overseer is very literate. β
Yu Huatian glanced at him, smiled faintly, and did not speak.
At this moment, someone in the distance suddenly exclaimed: "It's here, and the front should be the place where the treasure of the Great White Kingdom is buried!" β
The crowd burst into a stir.
Yuhuatian also turned his head to look, only to see that in a desert, there were some dilapidated buildings, the most conspicuous of which were the two stone tablets erected obliquely on both sides of the road.
The stele is about two people high, because of the weather, can no longer see the handwriting on it, can only vaguely see the four big characters of 'Dragon Gate' and 'Flying Armor'.
Zhao Tong said in a low voice: "According to rumors, this stone tablet was originally written 'Come to Jia Flying Dragon, Sand Sea Offering God Gate', the Flying Dragon refers to the black sandstorm of the desert, and the Divine Gate refers to the treasure of the Great White Kingdom, and the treasure of the Great White Kingdom was born, and it is said that someone speculated based on these two verses, but then it suddenly spread out for some reason." β
Yu Huatian nodded and asked, "Where are all the people who went out of the customs before?" β
Zhao Tong replied: "Ten miles away from here, there is a 'Longmen Inn', it is said that it is run by a few Jianghu people, the desert is changeable, sometimes some past caravans can not return to the customs, they will choose to rest in the Longmen Inn, but according to our people's inquiry, this Longmen Inn is likely to be a black shop, and there are often past merchants who disappear in the Longmen Inn." β
"The people from the rivers and lakes who went out of the customs before should be resting at the Longmen Inn at this moment, waiting for the black sandstorm to come."
"Dragon Gate Inn ......"
Yu Huatian looked stunned, and he couldn't help but think of some plots about the Dragon Gate Inn in the original book, and vaguely he seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After pondering for a moment, he looked up at the road between the two stone monuments in front of him and said, "Go to the Dragon Gate Inn." β
"Yes."
β¦
The northwest sky is cloudy.
Under the sunlight, the clouds also seem to be dyed with a faint golden halo.
Beneath the clouds is an endless desert of yellow sand.
And between this yellow sand desert, there is a lonely building, perhaps in disrepair, or the owner of the building did not think of renovating at all, this building is dilapidated, even the plaque hanging at the door of the two-story small building in the center has been eroded by the wind and sand and began to decay, hanging crookedly at the door, swaying gently with the wind, making a "click" sound, for fear that it will fall down if you are not careful.
At this time, it was noon, and the sun was hot, but the inn was surrounded by people dressed in different clothes, some of whom sat together, drank and talked loudly; Some of them practiced martial arts directly in the sun shirtless, and the crowd of onlookers applauded from time to time.
The inn is also very lively, and the sound of cups colliding can be heard inside through the door, and sometimes there is a heroic and excited shout:
"So much left, fish farming?"
"Come and drink! ......."
"Big big ...... -"
β¦
A dilapidated Longmen Inn, but because of a rumor that I don't know whether it is true or not, so many people have gathered in the rivers and lakes.
Perhaps even the owner of the Dragon Gate Inn never imagined that one day this place would be so lively.
Looking at this lively and prosperous scene at this time, people can't help but sigh: This is the rivers and lakes!
"Stombleβ"
At this moment, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from the distance, and the people in the rivers and lakes around the inn glanced back, then withdrew their gaze and continued what they had just done.
These days, there are often people from the rivers and lakes who come here, unless there is something particularly famous to come, there is nothing unusual.
The people from the rivers and lakes who came looked at the scene in front of them, and were also shocked, although they knew that there were many people coming, but they didn't expect that there would be so many people.
However, looking at the crowd gathered outside, there were still hay under the eaves around the inn, and it was obvious that these people were spending the night outside even at night.
Seeing this situation, the people from the rivers and lakes who came later did not enter the inn for the first time, but walked to the crowd outside the inn, preparing to find out the situation of the Longmen Inn first.
But this is not the case for everyone.
In front of everyone's eyes, the figure of Sandao riding a tall horse parked the horse directly at the door of the inn, and then tied the horse to the stable at the door of the inn, and walked towards the gate of the inn, obviously preparing to enter the inn directly.
The crowd was stunned, and then many people from the rivers and lakes who were originally surrounding outside couldn't help but show a hint of mockery in their eyes:
"These days, there are so many people who are not afraid of death!"
"Such a stunned young man, I don't know how he survived until now?"
"Huh? These three people are somewhat familiar, it seems that they are the same people who killed Tian Boguang and Huashan disciple Ling Huchong before? β
"White-clothed with a sword, handsome, and two guards by his side, a gunman and a swordsman, it should be them!"
"Really...... But so what? I don't look at who lives inside, the young man is really not afraid of death. β
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the people from the Huashan faction are also in it...... Hehe, there's a good show to watch now! β
β¦
The crowd whispered, many with gloating smiles on their faces, as if they had anticipated what was going to happen next.
Because it's not the first time.
In the past few days, as more and more people have gone out of the customs, and there is only one place in this area, the Dragon Gate Inn, so all the people who come for the treasure have gathered here.
Even if the owner of the Longmen Inn has set the price to the sky-high price of two silver a night, there are still many owners who are not short of money who choose to stay, but this Longmen Inn is such a little place, the rooms are limited, and it is impossible for everyone to have a room.
In this case, it is natural to respect strength.
Whoever is strong will be able to live in it, and in the past few days, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who originally lived in it who have been driven outside by the strong people later.
Up to now, the guests who are eligible to stay in the inn have basically been stereotyped, and they are basically all major factions in the martial arts or characters with faces in the rivers and lakes.
Whoever dares to go in and fight for the room again is bound to offend one of them, unless it is a fool to do such a thing, otherwise they are really crazy, and they don't live in a good inn, and choose to sleep outside the inn?
And now these three people didn't even look at the situation and drilled into the inn, in their opinion, it was obvious that they were three stunned young people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and many people were ready to see the excitement.
β¦
"Overseer, something seems wrong."
Listening to the gloating discussions around him, Zhao Tong frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"I know, let's go."
Although Yu Huatian didn't know the rules of the Longmen Inn, according to the situation outside the inn and the eyes of the people around him at the moment, he vaguely understood something.
Obviously, the inn should be full, and the people who can live in it are not simple, these people who are around the outside to watch the excitement should not be qualified to stay in the inn.
Sure enough, everywhere in this world, there are levels.
Officialdom is respected by power, and martial arts is respected by the strong!
However, now that it's all here, how can he huddle out with this group of filthy and smelly guys to sleep out?
He wanted to hide his identity, but he didn't come to be abused.
Yuhuatian's face was calm, and he walked straight to the inn and knocked on the broken door.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
With the knock on the door, the sound of shouting and shouting inside the inn disappeared in an instant, and the entire inn was silent inside and outside.
Immediately after, a dissatisfied shouting and scolding suddenly sounded inside:
"Grandma's! Knock on what, I don't know if the inn is full? Go outside and dig a pit and sleep! β
"Hahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter.
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Tong's eyes, and he looked at Yuhuatian: "Overseer? β
Yuhuatian's face was calm: "Keep knocking." β
Zhao Tong continued to knock on the door, and this time another embarrassed voice sounded: "This guest officer, the inn really has no room, or you can be wronged, just outside, if you lack food and drink, the small one can be prepared for you......"
"Shopkeeper, what nonsense are you talking to him, open the door and let Lao Tzu see, what kind of goods are coming again, so blind!"
"That's right, open the door and see which one is not long-eyed, and it's not even good for Lao Tzu to speak, right?"
β¦
Listening to the commotion inside, Yuhuatian was expressionless: "Break the door!" β
This time, without waiting for Zhao Tong to make a move, Ding Xiu couldn't help it, and the long knife in his hand was instantly unsheathed and slashed obliquely above the closed gate.
"Bang-boom!"
The already broken gate exploded in an instant, and debris flew away.
The scene was instantly dead.
Passing through the empty doorway, this time the people outside also saw the situation inside.
In the living room of one side, people dressed in different clothes sat around the table, most of these people are usually well-known in the rivers and lakes, and some are even the heads of the sects and martial arts masters of the famous town.
But at this time, everyone's eyes shifted to the door, and some even held dice cups and wine bowls in their hands, but now they seemed to have been immobilized, turning their heads to look at the three figures at the door, their eyes were either angry, surprised, or surprised......
No one expected that in this case, these three people would dare to forcibly break the door, which way is this immortal?
"This kid ......"
"Good skills, but the eyes are not very good......"
After a while, when he came back to his senses, the crowd outside the inn instantly surrounded, and a look of excitement and anticipation appeared in his eyes.
There's really a good show to watch now!
"Smack-"
In the lobby of the inn, someone instantly took the case.
They originally wanted to see if there was another big man and martial arts giant, who was so rampant, knowing that the inn was full of big forces on the rivers and lakes, and dared to forcibly break down.
But when they saw that the person who came was just three young people who didn't have any hair, and they were also very fresh, obviously not a famous senior, everyone was immediately angry.
A cheeky man near the door threw the dice cup in his hand to the ground, and walked towards the door as he spoke:
"I thought it was a senior from the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect it to be a few stunned young people, telling you to fucking deaf, right? Dare to break the door......"
"Whew-"
Before the words fell, in the slightly dim doorway, the sharp knife light flashed again.
The other people in the inn originally also had the attitude of watching the play, and they didn't mean to interfere, and they never thought that a silver dragon would suddenly be born and bring the cold light of the half moon in the room.
The scene fell silent again.
