The fifteenth year of Tianyuan.

Desert poplar takes root in Hanhai.

The west wind rises, and the yellow sand dances wildly.

The sunset in the desert is like a wheel of fire, floating in the sky of the Yellow Desert.

Then it fades into the twilight, with a thrilling beauty.

The yellow sand gradually subsided, and the inn stood quietly in the setting sun.

From the other side of the desert sand mountain, there were bursts of eagle chirping, adding a bit of desolation to this dusk.

In the small inn, there are more than ten burly men.

And in the center of these people is a young man in his twenties.

He was lying leisurely on a lounge chair, and a servant beside him was rocking a large puff fan for him.

"Crunch~"

The door was pushed open and the wind rushed in.

"Guest officer, rest or stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper came over.

"A bowl of somen noodles, a meat dish, and two pots of wine."

After the man finished speaking, he patted the cow behind him again.

"Serve the same dish to my cow, and bring him a jug of wine."

"Cow?"

The shopkeeper was stunned.

Bull riding in the desert? It's really strange today.

Can you still drink?

The shopkeeper glanced at the customer, suspecting that the other party was entertaining himself.

The other party wore a hat and lowered the hat curtain, revealing only half of his face.

The sleeve of his left arm was empty, and he was holding a bamboo pole in his hand.

The small red rope on it is very conspicuous.

The shopkeeper pursed his lips and hesitated.

"Guest officer, please inside."

The young man who was surrounded by the big man in the center squinted at the person who came in, and didn't care.

However, the big men around him were full of vigilance, but they saw that the other party was missing an arm.

His eyes are closed, and he holds a bamboo pole in his hand.

Blind, still a broken arm.

Everyone's vigilance subconsciously relaxed a lot.

In a few moments, all the things that the blind man wanted were on the table.

The blind man gulped down his wine and ate with relish, as if no one was around.

Then he began to deal with the bowl of hot noodle soup.

Eating and drinking, he collapsed in his seat and burped.

The young man had a toothpick in his mouth and looked at the blind man as if he found it amusing.

Although he is blind, he looks like a normal person.

"Hey, you're really blind?"

The young man couldn't help but speak.

The blind man nodded, "Listening to the voice of the son, it must be a young talent with a dignified appearance, a son of a rich and noble family." ”

"You blind man can talk."

The young man smiled, as the old saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Whether it's true or false, good words are always good to hear.

"Childe is a local, and I want to ask Childe about something."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Youth Road.

"Gongzi knows a man named Qimude, who is the son of a local Hu merchant.

Relying on the power of the family, he acts recklessly.

There were a lot of outrageous things, and this time he even raped and killed a married woman and threw her body in the wilderness.

The matter is big and he is wanted by the government.

His father bought off the government and told him to go out and hide for a while. ”

As the blind man's voice slowly sounded, the young man's face became darker and darker.

"Hehe, what are you looking for him?" The young man said coldly.

The big men around him grabbed their weapons one after another, staring at the blind man with fierce eyes.

The blind man seemed to be completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere around him, and said to himself.

"I'm ashamed to say that I am a knife catcher who is not registered and does not have a waist card from the government, so I can only take on some private work.

This time, someone asked me for his life. ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen big men in the store slapped the table.

They all showed off their weapons.

The young man crossed his legs and was extremely arrogant.

"Coincidentally, I'm the flag you're looking for, but whether you can take my life depends on your ability."

The blind man smiled faintly, "Thank you, there is a lot of inconvenience in the lower eyes, you can take the initiative to admit that it really saves me a lot of trouble." ”

The young man grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, but the words he spoke were cruel.

"Took off his other arm."

The shopkeeper just finished feeding the cows and walked in from outside.

The oil-stained hand wiped on his chest, and the placket on his chest suddenly became more oily.

"Guest Officer ......"

The wind and sand poured out from behind him, and the shopkeeper subconsciously closed his eyes.

The wind was originally a spring breeze, but when the wind blew from behind them, it turned into a knife.

The sword light and sword shadow rise with the wind.

It was as if there was a knife hidden in the wind.

There was a cool breeze in the air, a hint of blood, and a hint of wine.

The shopkeeper opened his eyes, his cheeks were a little moist, and he touched them with his hand.

Blood?

The shopkeeper frowned and looked at the store suspiciously.

What about people? How did they all lie down.

Half a second later, the shopkeeper erupted in exclamation.

Sit on the ground with your butt wet between your legs.

The blind man pulled the dumbfounded flag Mude and took out the money in his pocket, which seemed to be not enough.

So he reached out and took it into Qi Mude's arms, and put the money on the table.

"Checkout."

...........

In order to control the Western Regions, the Great Sui set up four towns in Anbei.

The passes along the road were opened, new trade routes and branch routes were constantly opened, and foreign merchants continued to pour in.

The trade of the four towns of Anbei ushered in a prosperous period, and at the same time drove the development of cities along the route.

It has played a positive role in promoting the economic recovery and development of the northwest.

But at the same time, it has also affected the tranquility of the four towns of Anbei to a certain extent.

Hu merchants, Central Plains merchants, horse gangs, and fugitives were mixed, and social order became more and more unstable.

"Moo~"

Li Ping'an led the old cow and walked slowly.

The old cow also had a sack hanging from his back, and the sack shook twice from time to time.

It seemed to be a living thing.

Li Ping'an untied the wine bag and took a sip of spirits.

He came to the four towns of Anbei five months ago.

After the snow battle in Luoshui City, Li Ping'an encountered endless pursuit.

In the end, Li Ping'an came to the four towns of Anbei.

Although the four towns of Anbei were nominally controlled by the Great Sui, they were in fact controlled by local warlords and local Hu merchants.

Casinos, restaurants, brothels are the most popular industries in this place.

Two bewitching women dressed in revealing clothes greeted Li Ping'an, with attractive figures.

It's as if you have two pieces of cloth wrapped around your body.

"Yo~ Li Gongzi, here you go again."

The bewitching woman wrapped Li Ping'an on the left and right, and was soft in her arms.

Li Ping'an carried the sack, quietly broke away from the encirclement of the two, and went straight to the basement of the brothel.

"Whew~"

A woman in pink tulle crossed Erlang's legs without any scruples.

The scenery is exposed, but I don't care.

"It's a pity, with such a handsome face, a pair of tricks are useless, and it's still one-armed."

The woman sighed lightly.

"I brought people, alive."

Li Ping'an threw the sack on the ground.

There was a muffled sound inside the sack, and it was Qi Mude, who was captured alive by Li Ping'an.
