In the evening, the caravan paused to rest, and several bonfires were lit along the official road.

Li Boxiong stayed with his light cavalry.

Chen Tang still sat around a small fire with the fat old man, Qing Mu, and Zhiwei, and did not join in the excitement of others.

During this period, Qing Mu saw that Li Boxiong had a special attitude towards Chen Tang, and he was curious, so he asked a few words on the side.

Chen Tang either laughed and said nothing, or diverted the topic.

After chatting for a long time, Qing Mu didn't come up with any useful information.

Mei Nianzhi and all the wealthy gentry first went to Li Boxiong's side to toast, and then brought people to Chen Tang's side.

After the daytime, except for the heads of the previous families who had conflicts with Chen Tang, most of the rich gentry's impression of Chen Tang has changed greatly.

And Chen Tang rescued them during the day, and everyone came over to thank them.

Chen Tang didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and dealt with them casually, and sent them away.

"The master of the plum pavilion stays."

In the end, Chen Tang stopped Mei Nianzhi.

Chen Tang asked, "What does the owner of the Mei Pavilion think of the snow thief that appeared during the day?" ”

Mei Nianzhi pondered for a moment and shook her head.

But when he heard what Chen Tang said, he asked, "What does the virtuous nephew think?" ”

"I can't say."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I just think that these snow thieves seem to be coming for the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall." ”

Mei Nianzhi frowned.

Mei Yingxue was skeptical, and said: "It shouldn't be, we have no grudge against the martial arts hall and these snow thieves, why did they come to us?" ”

Mei Nianzhi frowned and said: "When my nephew said this, I also felt a little like this, but I really don't know these snow thieves, and I have never been in contact with them, how can I be targeted by them?" ”

Chen Tang had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

According to Meng Liangyu, the Blackwater Gang wants to take full control of Changze County.

In addition to eradicating the Evil Wolf Gang, the second thing to solve is the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall.

If these snow thieves are related to the Blackwater Gang, then the interception and killing during the day should be an operation against the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall.

Chen Tang reminded: "Changze County may have to change, and when the time comes, the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Pavilion may not be spared, and the owner of the Plum Pavilion should prepare early." ”

"What the virtuous nephew said about changing the sky refers to ......"

Mei Nian's heart was shocked.

Chen Tang didn't answer, but said: "We went to Wu'an County this time, and we are ready to settle down in Wu'an County." ”

Before that, he had consulted with several members of his family.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the power of the Blackwater Gang should occupy the entire Changze County.

Chen Tang stayed in Changze County, and it was difficult to completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Blackwater Gang.

The fat old man naturally raised his hands in agreement.

Chen Tang's room is too small.

It was really inconvenient for four people to live, and he and Chen Tang had to lay on the floor in the outhouse.

And there are too few food and wine in Changze County.

Just went to Wu'an County to change to a big house.

"Are you moving out?"

A hint of loss flashed in Mei Yingxue's eyes.

During this time, she often ran to Chen Tang's house, and she was a little used to being with Chen Tang and his cousin, Xiao Zhiwei.

In the future, it will not be easy to meet again after being separated from each other.

Qing Mu said: "Before leaving, Chen Tang discussed it with us, but he didn't have time to say it to his sister. If you want to move around conveniently in the future, your sister might as well move to Wu'an County. ”

"I ......"

Mei Yingxue looked at her father.

She definitely can't do this kind of thing.

Mei Nianzhi shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "The Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall has been open in Changze County for some years, and the relatives are also there, so it's not easy to move away." ”

"My Jiupin still has some names in Changze County, but after all, I am old and my physical strength is declining, and it is difficult to make any name in Wu'an County."

At this point, Chen Tang couldn't say anything.

And they dispersed.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the caravan departed, and if nothing else, it should arrive in Wu'an County before the city closed today.

The caravan was escorted by Li Boxiong, and the journey was relatively smooth.

Before sunset, he could already see the city wall of Wu'an County from afar, Li Boxiong did not continue to escort, said goodbye to Chen Tang and others, and left with his subordinates.

The caravan was at the gate of the city, stopped by guards on both sides, carefully checking everyone's road guide papers, the goods loaded on the convoy.

"You have offended, the Shangyuan Festival is approaching, to prevent thieves from sneaking into the city, you have to watch carefully."

The guard at the head said to Mei Nianzhi.

Mei Nianzhi looked at his official position and recognized this as the centurion who guarded the city gate of Wu'an County, so he smiled and said: "There are Lao Baichang and all the brothers in the army, it should be so." ”

As she spoke, Mei Nianyi handed over a few taels of silver from her cuffs, wanting to stuff them into the hand of the hundred chief.

The chief put his hands behind his back and shook his head in refusal.

Mei Nianzhi coughed lightly and did not insist.

"Is this a robbery?"

The hundred chief glanced at some of the knife marks on the caravan carriage, and asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Mei Nianzhi: "Fortunately, a righteous man arrived in time to ......"

The two chatted briefly at the city gate.

Generally speaking, people are not allowed to walk freely in Qianguo, in order to restrict the movement of the population and to prevent the movement of displaced people from spreading around.

If you want to travel, you have to rely on the road guide, and the reason is explained above.

Of course, these restrictions are useful for ordinary people, and as for the famous families, people from powerful families, they can ignore them.

The guards guarding the city usually did not open their eyes to stop these people.

As for some people in the rivers and lakes, it is the eight immortals who cross the sea, each by their own means.

If there is really no official wayway, it will be difficult to enter the city openly.

Chen Tang's road guide, under Meng Liangyu's arrangement, had already been prepared.

When the city gate guards inspected the caravan, Chen Tang sat in front of the carriage, his eyes turned, and he inspected the guards arranged in various places on the city wall of Wu'an County, and the mobile guards were silently remembered in his heart.

The city wall of Wu'an County is about three zhang high, and Chen Tang judged that it was about three or four stories high in the previous life.

If a month ago, he would never have been able to climb this height.

But this is no longer the case.

After lingering at the city gate for a while, the caravan had no problems, and at the signal of several guards, it was allowed to enter the city.

After entering the city, the families of the caravan dispersed on their own, agreed on a return time, and when they returned, they would go back together.

"Let's find an inn to stay, tomorrow on the fourteenth day of the first month, we will first walk around the county town to get acquainted with it."

Mei Nianzhi: "The day after tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, the day when the warrior sets the product." If there is nothing to do, the virtuous nephew will go with us to see it, and we should join in the fun. ”

"It's fine."

Chen Tang responded casually.

Everyone was tired of traveling, so they found an inn nearby and stayed temporarily.

It was getting late, and the city gates were closed.

They had eaten supper and rested early.

Three days of travel, more than 200 miles, sleepy and tired, although on the road will also rest, but it is too uncomfortable, and I can't sleep well.

Now that I have entered Wu'an County, I can finally sleep peacefully.

Chen Tang did not rest, left the inn alone, and took advantage of the curfew to start before the alley came to the alley near the city gate, and continued to observe the guards above and below the city wall.
