When the sky was bright, Li Xuandu and his entourage finally crossed Wulong Mountain and came to the outside of Ping'an County.

The reason why I have to travel at night is because I hide people's eyes and ears. This way, day and night, even if they take the official road of the post road, few people can see them, making it more and more difficult for Qingluanwei to trace their traces, even if Qingluanwei finds clues, it will be a long time, enough for them to go far away.

There is also an access control in the county, and you need to show the road citation document, which is also the easiest place to leave traces, fortunately, Hu Liang is experienced in this area, and has prepared more than a dozen road guides with different identities in advance.

As for where these road guides come from, in fact, it is also simple, and there are many such side-door and left-hand skills on the rivers and lakes, such as Wenxiangtang, Wan Dumen, Tingfeng Lou, and White Lotus Fang, although they are not sects, but they are better than sects, and they operate all kinds of transactions: buying people, killing people, protecting people, kidnapping people, looking for people, inquiring about news, releasing rumors, imitating documents, etc. The four have their own strengths, such as Tingfeng Lou, as the name suggests, is good at finding out news, Wan Dumen is good at assassination, Bailianfang is good at protecting people, Wenxiangtang is good at forging documents, and Hu Liang's road quotations are purchased from Wenxiangtang, which is almost true. However, the cost is also quite expensive, just take the road citation for example, one piece costs a Taiping coin, which is enough to discourage ordinary people.

This time, the road guide is a child's identity, although it can't be directly omitted like Xiucai, but it is also a real identity of a scholar, and the soldiers guarding the door dare not be embarrassed, so that the carriage can drive smoothly into the city.

After Li Xuandu and his entourage entered the city, they picked a relatively remote inn, and after putting the carriage in the backyard of the inn, they immediately had a boss to greet them, so that Li Xuandu couldn't help but think of the Taiping Inn in Huainan Mansion, Luzhou, but the boss here is obviously not a hidden master, after seeing Hu Liang and Li Xuandu, the two people in the rivers and lakes, they were very polite, and even a little low-voiced, it is really not easy to mess with the heroes of this year, and they are often fighting, smashing the store to a pulp, not long ago, at the Yuelai Inn on the front street, a foreign swordsman and two local rangers disagreed and fought, from the lobby on the first floor of the inn to the guest room on the second floor, and then hit the roof from the guest room on the second floor, and beat the inside and out, even the tiles on the roof were peeled off a layer of life, and afterwards the foreign swordsman walked away directly, and the two local rangers were afraid of reputation, and dropped two ingots of silver, which were only twenty taels, and even the money for re-laying the tiles was not enough. The owner of Yuelai Inn simply gave the storefront plate to others and washed his hands dry.

There is such a precedent in the past, does the boss dare to provoke these charlatans? Naturally, he wants to be an uncle, and he diligently recommends the signature food and wine in the store, Li Xuandu has already opened the valley, and whether he eats or not is between the two, but Hu Liang, as a martial artist, still has to eat something, especially after being injured and losing a lot of qi and blood, in addition to taking pills and feigning death to sleep, but also a lot of ingredients, the legend says that many of the 10,000 enemies on the battlefield are often nine meals a day, and eat three cows a day, which is by no means groundless, so Li Xuandu asked for a few kinds of wine and food, and asked the boss to send the food directly into the backyard guest room.

After a while, a half-old woman personally brought the wine and food, with a slender waist and a graceful figure enough to make up for the lack of face, after putting down the wine and food, the boss's eyes swept over the three of them, and the little girl was just that, although it was a little beauty's embryo, but after all, it had not yet grown up, as for Hu Liang, it was very in line with the appearance of the people in the rivers and lakes, and it was just like that, but this young man was a beautiful appearance, not like a rough embryo who walked the rivers and lakes, like a scholar who came out of the house.

Hu Liang took the wine jar, slapped off the mud seal with one palm, sniffed lightly, raised his head and asked with a smile: "This wine is good, what is the reputation?"

The proprietress is most afraid of this kind of rough character, and she doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so she can't help but be a little more careful, and said softly in a soft Wu language: "This is the Huadiao wine we brewed in our store, it is not famous, but we have never cut corners, so it is so mellow." ”

Hu Liang raised the wine jar and took a sip, and praised: "This wine is good, it can be said that it is good and cheap." ”

The proprietress covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Small business, don't dare to bully customers like those big inns, you can only take the road of small profits and quick turnover." ”

After Hu Liang chatted a few more words, he suddenly asked, "Is there any abnormality in the city recently?"

The woman's face was hesitant.

At this time, Li Xuandu took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, gently pushed it in the direction of the proprietress with two fingers, and said with a smile: "There is a boss lady." ”

The money is moving, coupled with the warm smile of this handsome son, the proprietress was immediately moved, no matter what taboos, she reached out and took the silver, and said: "There are two families in our safe city that can be called big families, one is the Sun family, and there are people who have been officials for generations." One is the Long family, there is a dart bureau, a pharmacy, and a pawnshop at home, and no one dares to mess with it, but just this morning, something happened to the Long family. ”

Li Xuandu and Hu Liang glanced at each other, and immediately thought of the corpses of the eight darts outside the city last night, and knew in their hearts, and then Li Xuandu opened his mouth and asked, "What happened?"

The proprietress lowered her voice, "It's a dead man's big deal!" As soon as it dawned this morning, someone saw that the flagpole in front of the door of the Long Family's Wancheng Dart Bureau was knocked to the ground, and the flagpole was cut off at a very flat point, and some people said that it was cut off at once with a treasure sword and a sharp sword. Immediately afterwards, someone saw that the dart head, dart master, and executioner in the dart game were killed, and a total of more than a dozen corpses were neatly placed in the gate. ”

Hu Liang asked: "Such a big thing should have alarmed the local government a long time ago, but when we entered the city, why didn't we see the officers and soldiers sealing the city and searching?"

The proprietress replied: "I heard that it was suppressed by the people of the Long family, although the steward of the Long family issued a gag order and was not allowed to spread it, but how could such a big thing be hidden? ”

Li Xuan remained silent and continued to ask, "What else?"

Since it has already begun, the proprietress poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "There is also on the plaque at the gate of the Dragon Mansion, there are nine more bright red blood handprints, and on the bluestone slab in front of the door, there are nine big 'death' words written with dripping blood, I heard that this blood is the blood of those dead darts and dart masters, some people say that this is the evil ghost, it must be someone in the Long family who provoked unclean things, or did the evil of heaven, will cause such a disaster." ”

Hu Liang took a sip of wine and asked again, "I heard that the master of the Long family, Long Luyun, is a first-class master, so he didn't react?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it, speaking of which, the master of the Long family has not shown up for a long time, and I heard that it is the wife of the Long family who is in charge of the big and small affairs of the Long family. ”

Although he had made up his mind not to pay attention to this matter, after listening to the proprietress's words, Li Xuandu still sighed softly, there are many life and death vendettas on the rivers and lakes, but most of them are not good for their families, even if there are ruthless people, just like Wu Shiwan and others of the Daoist Sect, who do things that destroy people, they will not be like this.

Hu Liang said softly: "Lao Li, they are all old rivers and lakes, calm down." ”

Hu Liang is a coarse person on the outside and fine on the inside, his words are actually only half a sentence, and the implication is nothing more than to persuade Li Xuandu not to be rash.

Li Xuandu naturally knows the severity, even if he wants to be chivalrous, then he has to understand the matter thoroughly, judging from the current situation, the Maiden Sect is menacing, I'm afraid it's not just the young swordsman alone, it's not the two of them who can stop it.

Li Xuandu also took the wine jar and poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it all in one go.

Until this time, the proprietress finally had some recollection, ordinary people and others will inevitably be shocked when they hear such a strange and unpredictable thing that killed more than a dozen people, but the two in front of them are not the slightest panic, it can be seen that they are high-rollers who have experienced a lot of wind and waves.

When she spoke again, the proprietress was a little more cautious and asked, "Does the guest have any other needs?" ”

Li Xuandu took out the small half-scattered silver from his sleeve again, and pushed it forward on the table, "Thank you." ”

The proprietress hesitated, put away the money, and turned to leave the room.
