Pine Forest City is really a big city.

The walls are comparable to the Golden Dew Castle.

The defenders standing on the city walls were majestic and half-eyed, and the people who entered the city below looked straight ahead, as if there was something terrible in the distance, and they needed to be on guard at all times.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway.

When Zhao Que's eyes fell on these defenders, he knew that these soldiers were all people who could fight well.

And, it is definitely not a soldier who has never been on the battlefield, but a soldier who has retreated from the battlefield.

I don't know where the government in the city recruited these people.

Zhao Que sighed, the number of defenders is still a lot, if there is a war in Songlin City, unless it is those fierce warriors from southern Xinjiang, northern border, and Xisai, otherwise, even if it is the imperial army, if you want to fight with these pine forest defenders, who will suffer, maybe.

Zhao Que's curiosity was fully hung by the defenders.

He really didn't know how He De could gather such a large number of fierce warriors under his command and garrison the city wall for him.

Could it be that there are high-ranking people in the city, giving advice and preparing for the future chaos in the world?

Maybe that's the case.

Retracting his gaze, Brother Ma carried him into the city in a leisurely manner.

Grunting with hunger, he quickly found an inn, handed over Brother Ma to the little maid, and took care of it with good horse grass, and he ordered four catties of beef, two pots of wine, and the well-known flatbread in Pine Forest City.

Jing Xing Lin Feng, in his body, produced a kind of air flow.

The air flow ignores the meridians and spreads over the limbs, rising and closing suddenly, which is quite miraculous.

The eight-phase dragon python turned a blind eye to the air flow and let it spread wild in Zhao Que's body, he also thought that the air flow obtained by comprehending and cultivating Jing Xinglin Feng would more or less suppress the eight-phase dragon python, but he never thought that at all, the two, the well water does not violate the river water.

It's just that this kind of airflow appeared, although it didn't use the star technique like in Jingshu City, Zhao Que thought that with the main force of the airflow, the next time he summoned those palm-sized stars, he would control it more like a fish in water, and the other effects were still unclear.

He felt that in the next step, would these inexplicable air currents be integrated into the true qi of the meridians?

"Guest officer, is the beef in the small shop still delicious?" the little guy walked up to Zhao Que and asked with a smile.

Zhao Que burped, used the toothpick given by the inn, picked his teeth, and said, "Not bad, not bad, oh, you're here to settle the bill, right, how much?"

He touched it from his bosom, and there were only six taels of silver left.

The little guy said a number, Zhao Que went to the counter, settled the bill, and paid for the room for one night.

The settler behind the counter was a shrewd middle-aged man, his eyes glanced at Zhao Que's clothes, and he asked with a smile: "Guest officer, the food in our inn is a must, under a must, it can be counted, many people in the city like to come to our inn to eat, hey, guest officer, don't go first, I'll tell you again, the cook in the back kitchen of the inn is so powerful that he has a nickname in Pine Forest City......"

After Zhao Que said a word or two, he understood what the idea of this accounting gentleman was, nothing more than that, seeing what he was wearing, thinking that he was a rich young master, don't look down, maybe he will come out with a lot of money to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Just a few steps away, Zhao Que felt a bad feeling in his heart, turned around and asked, "What did I eat just now, can you see it?"

"Returning to the guest officer's words, I saw it. ”

"If I had money, I wouldn't just order beef, I would advise you, the common people don't have much money in their hands, and for those of us who are bitter, say a few words, you see the woman who just walked in front of the store, dressed in silk and brocade, next time, you tell these people." ”

Choked.

Count Mr. Zhang, the smiling face does not lose a cent.

"The lesson of the guest officer is that I will pay attention next time. ”

What they do is a smiling face and a slap in the face, Zhao Que choked him a few words, and people didn't feel angry at all, on the contrary, they were in a peaceful mood and didn't change what they said.

Zhao Que sighed, stepped on the wooden ladder, and walked towards the guest room on the second floor.

The rooms are very well kept.

Push open the window, and it's a downtown area.

Coincidentally.

On the opposite side of the inn, there is also an inn.

When Zhao Que pushed open the window, a beautiful woman with a sad face opposite also pushed open the window.

The two looked at each other in surprise.

Although Zhao Que has experienced vicissitudes, his appearance is very handsome, and the woman who attracted him looked at it a few more times, turned her head shyly, and avoided Zhao Que's sight.

The woman estimated that she was about twenty years old, and she was very smart, and when she saw her, Zhao Que suddenly remembered a poem......

Smoke cage cold water moon cage sand.

Moreover, from the window, you can see that the woman is standing on a lute by the wall, maybe she is a singer.

Later.

It seems that the woman wanted to see if Zhao Que was still by the window, poked out half of her head, and happened to bump into Zhao Que's sight, and immediately blushed, and then disappeared completely.

Zhao Que smiled.

He turned around and sat down at the table, poured himself a few cups of herbal tea, drank his stomach, opened the window, blew the early spring wind, lay down on the bed, covered with a quilt, listened to the noise of the market, and fell asleep.

In the dream, I dreamed of a fire.

The tongue of fire swallowed and ended, and it was ruthless, swallowing up all the people who did not run.

There is a sad cry in my ears, like the end of the world.

Wrong!

Zhao Que sat up suddenly.

The dark red firelight reflected in the room, and the flames reflected on the walls rose and fell.

It's really on fire!

Outside, there is a continuous shouting of "walking water"!

"Hurry up and put out the fire, there are a lot of people here, if the fire gets out of control, it will be a big disaster!"

"Wait, oops, don't run yet, you guys, while going to fetch water, shouting, reminding all the people who don't know the fire!!"

"Yes, yes, the two adults can rest assured. ”

"Oh yes, why did it suddenly catch fire, Pine Forest City is an eventful time, the government is in turmoil, the family is competing for profits, this fire is burning again, but it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"Who knows, alas, I just drank a lot of wine, and my head hurts to death, by the way, when we run, can you see, Miss Yang Zhi?"

"Yes, where is Miss Yang Zhi? I listened to her playing the pipa, while drinking, I was in a trance, and suddenly I ran out of the water, and I ran out with you to put out the fire. It's Miss Yang Zhi, but I didn't pay attention. ”

"You, you, Lord Zhang, such a rare little lady, it's not easy to get it, if you lose it, in a few months, our hard work will be all done, and even, let those big men of the family, I heard that there is a woman like Yang Zhi girl in Songlin City, and it will never be our turn again!!"

"Lord Zhao, don't worry, don't worry, I will order someone to look for it, Miss Yang Zhi must be safe, such a big fire, according to Miss Yang Zhi's soft body, once ...... Rong Yang!!Rong Yang!! come here, you, you go quickly...... Go and find Miss Yang Zhi, after you find her, you must protect her and send her to my house, if the lady asks, you will say, there is a fire here, Miss Yang Zhi has nowhere to go, I order you, take her to my house for temporary placement. ”

"Yes. ”

"Hey, Lord Zhang, why did you send the little lady Yang Zhi to your house? Why didn't you send it to my house?"

"Lord Zhao, your mother-in-law, the reputation of the tigress, my ears are calloused, it is better to send it to my house, when the time is right, let's settle Miss Yang Zhi elsewhere. ”

"Okay, and listen to you. ”

Zhao Que showed his head.

On the street, talking were two middle-aged men with fat heads and big ears.

Covered in brocade, he is definitely a big man in Pine Forest City.

The fire spread extremely quickly.

The fire on the opposite side, which had already ignited several nearby houses, was about to be extinguished in this way.

In the inn, there was chaos.

The door was violently pushed open.

"Oh!!Guest officer, how can you still have the leisure to watch the excitement?! Run, this fire is not small!!It's not easy to extinguish!"

The little guy saw Zhao Que standing behind the window, looking at the fire, and stomped his feet anxiously.

Zhao Que turned around, picked up the burden he was carrying, and without saying a word, he swept past the little guy, climbed down from the railing, and walked out of the door in a few steps.

When I looked at it again, the two middle-aged men with fat heads and big ears were already a hundred steps away, and the status of the two seemed to be quite high, front and back, left and right, nine people were clustered, as if, for fear that the fire would affect them.

Mr. Accounting, behind Zhao Que's back, Zhao Que grabbed him with one hand and didn't want him to run for his life.

"What is the matter?" asked the settler in a panic.

Zhao Que pointed at the two and asked, "Who are they?"

"Them?"

Mr. Accounting followed Zhao Que's hand and looked, "Oh, they, they are the adults of our official mansion, one surnamed Zhang, the other surnamed Zhao, since the absence of the chief official of Songlin City for many days, Lord Zhang and Lord Zhao are responsible for many affairs in Songlin City. ”

"Where's the chief officer of Pinewood City?"

Zhao Que asked.

Not far away, there was a raging fire.

The blazing temperature made Mr. Settler's legs weak.

The houses on this street are all wooden houses, and once there is a fire, if you can't control it, you really don't dare to think about the consequences.

The property loss is secondary, this North Horse Street, the people are vast......

Mr. Reckoning didn't mention how much he wanted to run for his life, but Zhao Que grabbed his arm tightly, it seemed that as long as he didn't say one, two, three, he wouldn't want to leave.

The little guy in the inn, the back foot out of the inn.

See two.

Mr. Reckoning hurriedly turned his head quietly and glanced at the little guy.

I don't know what the little guy thinks, but when he saw a stone next to the door, he actually picked up the stone and threw it on Zhao Que's head.

Hear that the evil wind is not good.

Zhao Que did not dodge.

He didn't look back, as if he waved his arm impatiently.

Not only did he knock the stone down, but the stone fell and happened to hit the little girl's foot.

The little guy hugged his feet and screamed in pain.

Zhao Que ignored it.

"Say!"

"Okay, well, I said, this guest officer, the chief official of Songlin City, that is, Lord Zhuge who was regarded as the Lord of the Blue Sky by the people, a few months ago, he fell into the lake and drowned, some people rumored that it was the people in the official mansion who killed Lord Zhuge , and some people said that Lord Zhuge interfered with the gods of wealth of the big families in the city, did business, spent a lot of money, bought off the government, instructed people, and pushed him into the lake when Lord Zhuge went out to relax, and some people said that Lord Zhuge had a bad career and wanted to die in Songlin City for the rest of his life, and he was disgusted with the world and committed suicide by jumping into the lake！”
