Jingzhou, close to Jingshui, is an important town in the northwest.

From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it is the throat of the two regions and the gateway of the border, which can be strong and controllable. In all dynasties, the famous ministers and military generals who served here are also endless, like Wang Maoyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan and Teng Zijing in the Song Dynasty.

The people here are fierce and simple, so the city here is also desolate and majestic.

Before the curfew, the group entered the city, and Zhao Hanqing inquired about Lin Yueyao's whereabouts while inquiring about the situation of the inn in the city.

After a short time, a brother came back to restore his life, and led a group of people to stop in front of an inn in the east of the city.

Most of the guys in the store have eyesight, and when they saw so many people standing in front of the door, they hurriedly went out to greet them.

The shopkeeper was settling accounts in the cabinet, and when he heard the movement, he also followed the man out of the door, but when he saw so many people, they were carrying knives and carrying swords, and after careful examination, he hurriedly told the man to slow down and lead the horse.

Zhao Hanqing, Shen Yuan and the others were puzzled, only to hear Shen Yuan ask: "What's the matter, the shopkeeper is not willing to do our business?"

Open the door to do business, these shopkeepers have always been sleek and sophisticated, but I saw that he was a little embarrassed: "Don't blame the uncles, let the villain say a few words." ”

Zhao Hanqing said: "You can talk about it." ”

I only heard the shopkeeper say: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that our store is small, and I see that there are many uncles, and our small shop really can't accommodate it, and there are only two rooms left at the moment, even if it is improvised, I'm afraid it won't fit!"

Then he slapped the guy in the head and scolded: "You rammer, there are still a few rooms left, but you can't remember?

The guy was stunned at first, and then he seemed to react, and hurriedly made amends, saying: "The little greed, seeing so many people know that it is a big deal, it must be a lot of silver to be earned, so I was negligent and forgot that the house is not enough to live in at the moment!"

"What's the use of you talking to me," the shopkeeper glanced at him and reprimanded, "Go and make amends to a few masters!"

Zhao Hanqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "In this case, then that's it, don't be embarrassed, just ask the shopkeeper for a place to go." ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and hesitated: "The villain knows a place, in Qianjia Village, the eastern suburbs of the city, there is a big car shop, if you don't dislike it, you will be able to live, but it is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are strong people in the near future, and the government is trying to arrest it, but there is no news for several days, and because of this, the big car shop has not had any business recently." If you don't want to, then go to other inns in this city and try your luck. ”

Zhao Hanqing asked, "Dare to ask how many inns there are in this city, and which one is the largest?"

The shopkeeper sneered: "There are four more, the biggest is our Anding Inn......"

Hearing this, Zhao Hanqing looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Shall we take another look, or go directly to the outside of this city?"

Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Just stay for one night, I simply went outside the city, what kind of strongman is just a local chicken and a dog, if those thieves dare to come, they will teach them to come and go!"

Zhao Hanqing was about to nod, but he only listened to the shopkeeper's persuasion: "I am persuading you, or go to other inns in the city first, if it really doesn't work, it's not too late to make this decision." ”

Shen Yuan seemed to be smiling, and looked at the shopkeeper and said: "They are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, why can't they be? Besides, with the shopkeeper's eyesight, how can they not see that we are not easy to get along with?"

The shopkeeper didn't say much, just laughed with him.

"Oh!"

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and guessed, "The shopkeeper of the big car shop is your relative! At the moment, this deal is not easy to do, seeing me is like seeing a fat sheep, hurry up and take over this deal for your relative, am I right?"

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and grinned: "The villain's thoughts, I don't want to be seen through by the son, but it's not a relative of the villain, but a friend of the villain, besides, my inn is indeed not enough to live, I can't accommodate it, just push the boat down the river, but whether to go or not, it's all up to you!"

Shen Yuan said: "Brother Zhao, just go outside the city." ”

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, the group straightened up the carriage and horses, and ran to the big car shop while the city gate was not closed.

Gong Yehe sneered in the car and said to himself: "Go, go, kill when the time comes!"

Shen Yuan drove the car, and when he heard this sentence coldly, he thought that the master had committed madness again, so he hurriedly opened the curtain and asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Gongyehe smiled and said, "You'll know if you go." ”

With that, he straightened his clothes, leaned into it and began to pretend to sleep.

Hearing this thoughtless sentence, Shen Yuan muttered in his heart, thinking about it, and he didn't know what it meant.

In this room, in the Anding Inn, the shopkeeper no longer paid attention to the guy, only asked him to greet him in front, and he went upstairs alone, walked to the door of the innermost upper room, knocked three times, and said, "The villain has something to report." ”

"Squeak", the door opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was one of the four spirit generals of the Tianluo Gang, Suzaku!

It turned out that this shopkeeper was also a member of the Tianluo Gang, and he had also been to the Xuankong Hall of Kongtong Mountain during the Kongtong Conference before, but it was before the conference began.

Therefore, knowing the appearance of Zhao Hanqing and Shen Yuan, and now knowing that Gongye He was on the carriage at this time, this led him elsewhere, and he didn't dare to let him live in this inn, not afraid of anything else, but afraid that Gongye He would have murderous thoughts, and anyone would be more than lucky.

After the shopkeeper explained the situation outside the door, Suzaku sent him down, closed the door himself, and raised his eyes to Qiu Weng and Qinglong.

I only heard Qiu Weng say: "It's a coincidence, the old front foot has just arrived, and the back foot has arrived." ”

Qinglong smiled and said, "Qiu Weng, you are not by the lord's side, what are you doing here?"

Qiu Weng said: "The lord ordered me to come here, firstly, to answer, and secondly, to have another task. ”

Suzaku asked, "Do you have any instructions from the lord, and please ask the enemy to speak up." ”

"Shen Yuan thief, bad lord is a big deal, the lord ordered you two to take this person's life and take the head back to restore your life!"

Qiu Weng raised his old eyes sharply and stared straight at Suzaku, only to see Suzaku raise his eyebrows and look at Qinglong.

Qinglong knew what Suzaku meant, and asked, "With Gongye and on the side, I'm afraid it's not easy to start." ”

Qiu Weng sneered: "There is no one in this world who my Tianluo Gang can't kill, what's the matter, Suzaku, are you and Qinglong afraid?"

"This ......"

The two of them finished their words, and they only listened to Suzaku say: "You have a saying in the Central Plains, which is called hitting a stone with an egg. Does the enemy want me and Qinglong to die?"

Qiu Weng shook his head and smiled: "If you want to die, why should the lord let the old man come?"

When Shen Yuan and the others arrived at Qianjia Village, it was not early, the evening sun was shining behind them, the residual rainbow was like blood, and the distant dai in front of them was fainting, and the dawn was dawning.

As far as the eye can see, it is a good scenery of heaven and earth.

It's just that there are not many pedestrians on the road in this village, and seeing that this group of people and horses are all five big and three thick, with some fierce faces and weapons on their bodies, almost in the blink of an eye, the road is empty, and they each go back to the house and close the door.

Shen Yuan raised his hand, his mouth was only half open, and he hadn't said anything about asking for directions, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed again: "It seems that the so-called strongmen and thieves are true, these villagers may regard us as strongmen." ”

Zhao Hanqing nodded and said, "Let's look for it slowly, since the shopkeeper said that it is in Qianjia Village, it must not be difficult to find it." ”

The group walked forward slowly, and suddenly heard the sound of chopping wood not far away.
