"Whew! Ning Shi, this Qingxin Pill is really effective!" An Dafang looked at the plank road behind him, and the whole person relaxed: "Fortunately, I didn't make a fool of myself in front of Ning Shi." ”

"It's just a pity that this bottle of Qingxin Pill is gone. Liu Ningshi shook the empty bottle downward, with a look of regret.

"Where is this pill, Brother Dafang will help you find ten bottles and eight bottles. An Dafang laughed a few times and flattered Liu Ningshi.

"Hmph! Ten bottles and eight bottles, this Qingxin Pill is very precious. Liu Ningshi pouted and was unhappy: "That's it, Ning Shi snatched it from Brother Xiangyun." ”

"Miss Liu, Chief Nurse, where do you see this?" Misu on the side pointed to the hazy mist ahead.

"Hmm, is this a stone city?" An Dafang observed carefully, and then became puzzled: "No, this stone city should be in the west of Jinling City, and it must pass through the Valley of Death Shadow." ”

Liu Ningshi looked in the direction of Misu's finger, the towering gray city wall was built around the mountain, the wall was peeling gravel, pitted, and there were purple and black rocks inside, like a hideous grimace.

"Brother Dafang, look at the style of this city, there is no doubt that it must be a stone city. Liu Ningshi looked at the position pointed by Misu, and said firmly: "It turns out that in addition to the Valley of the Shadow of Death, there are other roads that can lead to Stone City!"

"If this is Stone Town, it must be the backside. An Dafang looked left and right: "It seems that there is no gate to enter the city." ”

"Brother Dafang, Miss Misu, let's take a closer look. Liu Ningshi felt that this place was out of the control of the phantom array, so she took the glass bead in her hand back into her arms.

In the tavern opposite the household, the guests in the lobby checked out one after another after being full of wine and food, but Li Chuan and Huang San were still drinking a cup of you and me.

"Little Er, this wine is a little cold. Huang San took a sip of wine, and spit it all on the ground: "Go, give us another hot one." ”

"Okay, guest officer!" Xiao Er waved the rag on his shoulder diligently, and took down all the remaining two wine jugs on the table.

"Brother Huang is really massive!" I saw that Li Chuan's face was already flushed, and his right hand holding peanuts trembled slightly: "I haven't drunk so happily for a long time." ”

"Brother Li is happy, and the little brother is happy. Huang San took the hot wine that Xiao Er had replaced, poured the wine for Li Chuan diligently, and said with a smile: "I heard that this Lord Sha is a popular person in front of the Holy Saint today, I wonder if I need to do something below?"

"Well, that's a good question!" Li Chuan felt that his tongue was about to tie up, but some words were not unpleasant: "Lord Sha, it's not something that people of our status can stammer, so you should die of this heart." ”

"Why? As far as the younger brother knows, his official position is the left waiter, which is the same level as the right waiter Zhu. Huang San poured himself a full glass of wine and touched another glass with Li Chuan.

"This Lord Sha usually prides himself on being honest and honest, but his posture is very high!" Li Chuan drank the wine: "You said that if we go to filial piety, it will be strange if we don't touch nails." ”

"As the saying goes: If a person is not for himself, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" Huang San said with a smile: "Is there really such a person in today's officialdom? Brother Li is not joking?"

"Hey, don't believe me. Li Chuan exhaled the weight of the wine, and even Xiao Er, who was three feet away, could smell it: "Before, there was an errand officer in the household department to deliver silver, but Lord Sha not only did not accept it, but also exempted him from his errand. ”

"Is there really such a thing?" Huang San's eyes were about to bulge, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Whew! Fortunately, Brother Li mentioned something, otherwise I wouldn't even know how to die if I really went down!"

"I'll tell you another sneak in on you. Li Chuan really drank too much, and he couldn't hold back the chatterbox: "Master Sha can not deal with our new Su Shangshu, I'm afraid this will be 。。。。。。 ”

"Understood! understood!" Before Li Chuan's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Huang San: "Come on, junior brother will toast you again, thank you Brother Li for your suggestion." ”

The two of them drank for nearly half an hour, and in the lobby of the tavern, apart from them, only Xiao Er, who was standing in front of the cabinet and yawning.

"I can't drink anymore!" Li Chuan saw that Huang San was about to pour himself wine again, and hurriedly waved his hand: "If you drink again, you really have to lie down and go back." ”

"Then the little brother will send you back. Huang San dropped an ingot of broken silver and put it on

Under the table, he picked up Li Chuan, who was already drunk and swaying from side to side: "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

The ward's room was set up in the northwest corner of the errand's room, and the furnishings inside were very simple, except for a bed, there was only a desk; Sharpa, who was on duty, lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire fold, and opened a book with yellowed paper to read.

"Su Xing has become a scholar when he enters the main household department, and Lord Sha is still in the mood to read books, this concentration is really admirable. The door of the room on duty slammed open, and Zuo Tianhao, who had not appeared for a long time, broke in without any scruples, sat opposite Sharpa, and closed the open door with a palm in the air.

"Who are you, dare to break into the door?" Sharba looked at Zuo Tianhao's fearless appearance, and frowned slightly.

"Don't be angry, Lord Sha!" Zuo Tianhao took out a letter from his arms and threw it in front of Sharpa: "It's not too late to say it after reading the letter." ”

"Brother Li, you have a good rest, let's drink another day." Huang San sent Li Chuan to the room of the household department, and quickly retreated; at this time, his face no longer had the previous courtesy, and his body moved towards the guard room.

"What's the matter?, Lord Sha, should know who I am, right?" Zuo Tianhao took the wine gourd from his waist and poured a sip of wine.

"Hmph, why didn't your master come himself, but sent you as a minion?" Sharba tore the letter to shreds in dissatisfaction: "Does he look down on his own official?"

"Poof!" Zuo Tianhao was so angry by Sharba's words that he almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine: "Lord Sha, are you joking?"

"Are you kidding? Is this official the kind of person who likes to joke?" Sharba pointed to the torn letter: "Your lord is arrogant and rude, and he still wants this official to do such a difficult thing?"

"Lord Sha, my lord pays you three thousand taels of silver every year. Zuo Tianhao also restrained his cynical attitude: "And what have you done to help the master? Also, you can't even compete for the position of the head of the household, my family master should consider whether he needs to cooperate with you in the future!"

"At the beginning, the official promised you to provide you with the news of the household department and the major money houses in Jinling, and you helped the official to sit in the position of the secretary of the household department!" Sharba's eyes that had always been calm and calm turned cold: "What the official should have done has been done, and not only did you not help the official complete what he promised, but now you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge? Believe it or not, the official made it impossible for you to get out of this Jinling City?"

"Really?" Zuo Tianhao pressed the wine jug in his hand to the table, stretched out his right palm and grabbed Sharpa's collar and pulled him over from the table, and pointed his left fist to his face: "If I want, I can let you go to Hades now?"

"What do you want? Don't mess around!" Sharpa's face was full of horror, how could a polite officialdom like him deal with an unreasonable person like Zuo Tianhao: "If you don't let go, I will call 。。。。。。 ”

"Hmph! Now listen to me honestly. Before Sharpa finished speaking, he was pointed at the dumb door by Zuo Tianhao: "You just need to nod or shake your head, do you understand?"

"Hmm!" Sharba was frightened and didn't know what to do, and nodded subconsciously with Zuo Tianhao's voice.

"Is that right? This is what it looks like!" Zuo Tianhao grinned, let go of Sharpa's collar and gently pushed it, only to see his whole person rise into the air and land accurately on the original chair: "What the Lord said on the letter, should you not?"

"Hmm!" Sharpa couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to anger Zuo Tianhao too much, so he kept nodding his head.

"That's good. Zuo Tianhao said with a smile: "I heard that Master Sha is different from the right waiter Zhu Danian, he is a good man who cares about his family, he never messes with flowers and grass outside, and in the countryside of Liuhe, he has a favorite wife and a pair of lovely children。。。。。。 ”

"Hmm!" Sharpa's eyes changed from anger to worry and then to pleading when he heard Zuo Tianhao mention his wife and children.

"Give you three days to get this done. Zuo Tianhao pushed his right palm in the air, and Shalpa's acupoint was suddenly solved.

"You, what happened to my wife and children?" Sharba clutched his chest and gasped for a moment, and immediately asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, but unfortunately Zuo Tianhao had long been gone.

"Cut! This guy is really ruthless!" Huang San, who was lurking under the window eaves of the guard room, thought in his heart: "This sharpa really has something to do with a tax fraudster."

Collusion, but what does Zuo Tianhao want him to do? What is their ultimate goal?"

Time passed inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the hour of the unitary hour, Zuo Tianhao finished his work and returned to the room of the Fengyuan Inn with satisfaction.

"Poof!" Zuo Tianhao pushed the door in, lit the fire fold in his hand, and the slender fire shone on the black-robed man who was sitting precariously.

"Lord, why did you come here in person?" Zuo Tianhao extinguished the fire in his hand and arched his hand towards the black-robed man: "My subordinates are preparing to report the situation to you. ”

"Why, looking at your smug face, things must have been done, right?" The black-robed man looked at his words and looks, and had already guessed a few points in his heart.

"It's all thanks to the master's clever calculations, and this Sharpa still threatened Tianhao with an official tone at the beginning. Zuo Tianhao danced excitedly: "When he learned that his wife and children were in our hands, he was immediately stunned, and he was willing to do everything." ”

"Tianhao, good job!" the black-robed man nodded with satisfaction: "For this kind of sanctimonious guy, reasoning will not work; ”

"What the Lord said is extremely true!" Zuo Tianhao arched his hand and said, "Next, what should Tianhao do?"

"We can't stay here any longer, the medicine supply has been cut off from us, and it seems that they are also sensing the danger. The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "Go to Stone Town, and take care of everything over there." ”

"Yes, subordinate。。。。。。 Zuo Tianhao felt that something was wrong, and shouted: "Who dares to eavesdrop outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Tianhao jumped from the window to the roof, and he looked around in the vast night, but he couldn't see half a figure.
