Shen Rou heard Lin Zhanqing say that there were still six or seven days to reach Shen Tiancheng, and her expression became a little lonely. His head was slightly bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Zhanqing thought that Shen Rou was about to marry a woman because she was about to arrive at her future in-law's house. It's inevitable to feel a little lost and confused. So I didn't say anything.

And Dongfang Wan didn't care about everything, and she didn't care about Lin Zhanqing either. Since that day, Lin Zhanqing and Dongfang Wan kept their distance from each other, and the two of them could talk less and talk less.

In the past five or six days, the three of them have been safe and sound, and no one has come to send them to death.

Now that they are approaching the outside of the customs, the three of them have walked fifty miles in this deserted outskirts to the main road to enter the customs gates, the Tianhaiguan.

It stands to reason that it is early spring. However, it has always been cold outside the gates, and this time is no different from winter.

It snowed a few days ago, and it hasn't melted yet. The snow was piled up thickly, in the mountains, on the roads, in the woods, in the wilderness countryside.

The lakes are all smooth and flat on the ice, and the small towns you pass by, whether they are blue bricks and gray tiles, or painted gold and wood buildings, are all dressed in snow and silvery-white.

In this scene, I only feel that everything that comes into view is silvery white. The silver white has connected the heavens and the earth with all things, and it seems to feel like a new and unknown world in a trance.

The three of them had lunch and led their horses in the snow. It's not that the three of them didn't dare to ride horses, but intentionally or unintentionally, they slowed down a little.

Before you know it, the snow is falling again.

This situation is exactly what it is,

Layers of snow have been stacked, hitting the foggy and cloudy sky.

The Yinyin Mountain is the color of the trees and trees, and the fantasy blends into the scenery.

The three of them walked in the snow for a while, and their bodies were covered with falling snowflakes.

Gradually, the snow lightened, and after a while, the snow stopped.

At this time, it was already early hours, and the three of them had to rush to the Tianhai Customs before dark. Otherwise, you'll have to camp in the snow tonight.

There was no room for slackening, and the three of them rode away at a gallop. The horses of the three had just been changed locally, and they were very familiar with the snow of the Kanto region. It was almost a peaceful run, but it was a bit of a wanton gallop.

Before dark, Lin Zhanqing and the three of them entered the Tianhai Customs. The small town in Tianhaiguan is called Qinwang Island, and the three of them found an inn called Mengjiahui to stay, and there was nothing to do all night.

I don't want to think about it the next day, before dawn, when the three of them are sleeping. There was a commotion outside the inn.

"I said Boss Wang, it's not that we don't give face to our brothers, we really have to eat too. It's been a month, and the money for all the fish, meat, rice, noodles and vegetables in the inn has not been settled, so we can only watch it ourselves. ”

"Brother Zhang. It's really not that I deliberately owe a few people, my son is in the medicinal herb business in other places, and he lost a lot of money this year. I was a father and had some money to help my son. The shop is operating normally, and I beg you little brothers to give a few more days, and it will be opened immediately. Check out the bill as soon as it's due. ”

"Boss Wang, old man Wang. When our brothers are charity, aren't they? In that case, don't blame our brothers for not being careful. Brothers, look at the inn and take it!"

With a few people scolding, it was the owner of the fresh food store who provided fish, meat, rice, noodles and vegetables to the Dream Home Back Inn. His surname is Zhang, and he is in his forties. Born with five big and three thick, he is bold and bold, and the neighbors generally call him Zhang Dayu. The big fish represents the meaning of making a lot of money and being a person.

I didn't expect Zhang Dayu, who has always been cool on weekdays, to be so careful today.

It is normal for a businessman to have a capital turnover for a while. What's more, it's only been a month, and the old Wang Tou and Zhang Dayu, who opened the inn, have been friends for many years. Today's events are truly unusual.

Sure enough, Zhang Dayu took a few little brothers and went straight to the third floor of the inn.

The third floor is the floor where Lin Zhanqing and the three of them are located.

As if he knew in advance, Zhang Dayu went straight to the left hand side of the third floor, and the two rooms of Lin Zhanqing and the three of them were on the left hand side of the third floor.

Lin Zhanqing lives in room 318, opposite the door from Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou's room 325.

Zhang Dayu brought a total of three subordinates, all of whom were sturdy young men in their twenties. Two of the boys kicked the door open.

The room was empty.

Zhang Dayu was suddenly surprised:

"Not good!"

Zhang Dayu took a few of his subordinates and hurriedly went downstairs.

On the first floor of the inn, the old king's head had fallen to the ground. Blood was slowly pouring out of the wound on his chest, slowly soaking into the stone slab on the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Dayu ran out of the inn like a desperate escape, and his subordinates hurriedly followed. It's a pity it's too late.

At the moment when Zhang Dayu walked out of the door of the inn, a sword light flashed. Zhang Dayu has been separated.

Before Zhang Dayu's subordinates could react, the door of the inn was closed. Then there was not the slightest sound. By the time the inn door opened again, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

The guests who were staying at the inn felt that there was no sound for a long time. It seems that the danger has passed. I crept cautiously to the first floor of the inn, but saw five or six corpses lying on the ground.

The innkeeper Lao Wangtou, the owner of the fresh food store Zhang Dayu, and several of Zhang Dayu's subordinates all died here.

At this moment, Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou had already left Qinwang Island and were riding horses in the suburbs.

Shen Rou asked Dongfang Wan in a hurry on the horse:

"Sister Dongfang, is Brother Lin okay after he breaks off alone?"

Dongfang Wan rode a horse, did not turn her head, and said coldly:

"Sister Shen, don't worry, those mongrels are not enough for Senior Brother Lin to kill. ”

Although Dongfang Wan said this, there was still a trace of imperceptible worry on her face.

It turned out that after the three of them noticed the movement at that time, Lin Zhanqing quickly asked Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou to withdraw first, leaving him behind.

Time is running out. There was no time to discuss, Dongfang Wan hugged Shen Rou, rolled down the window and left.

Lin Zhanqing only said that he would catch up with the two, and as for the rest, he didn't have time to say anything.

The two of them rushed forward without stopping. The reason why he is so embarrassed is not that he is worried that there will be some masters that the two of them can't deal with. But in the town, it was difficult for the two to let go of their hands and feet. If the movement is too loud, it will alarm the locals to close the city gates. After repeated delays, things can get extremely troublesome.

At this time, the city gate of Qinwang Island was indeed closed, and Lin Zhanqing was indeed locked in the city, and it was difficult to come out for a while.

It's not that Lin Zhanqing didn't work lightly, and he couldn't climb the city wall. But in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, what will happen if you climb the city wall? What kind of irrelevant masters will treat Lin Zhanqing as a traitor and an evil person?

It is really risky to climb over the wall during the day!

So Lin Zhanqing was waiting, waiting until it got dark. As long as he walked up lightly, after climbing the city wall and leaving Qinwang Island, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. Just meet with Senior Sister Dongfang and Shen Rou.

At this time, Qinwang Island was already under martial law, and the people in the city did not know what had happened.

Everyone only knows that the old Wang Tou, who runs the Dream Home Back Inn on the island, and Zhang Dayu, who runs the fresh food store, were killed along with a few new guys. Such a murderous demon must not be let go.

The largest family in the local area, the Wang family who runs the Wanwu store. For the first time, the city gate of Qinwang Island was sealed. At the same time, all the martial arts masters in the city were indignant and said that no matter who did this, he would definitely be asked to come and go.

Fortunately, no one saw Lin Zhanqing when he started, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

However, the locals went through the people staying at the inn and asked them a few times. Lin Zhanqing and the three are naturally the biggest suspects, and there is no longer any suspicion, the portraits of Lin Zhanqing and the three have appeared on the streets and alleys of Qinwang Island half an hour later.

Fortunately, it was already dark when Lin Zhanqing and the three of them stayed, and they had no intersection with the people at the inn.

So the portraits of the three people are basically people staying in the inn, and they can't stand the coercion and temptation of the locals, and they talk nonsense. After synthesizing the descriptions of the innkeepers, the locals drew the portrait. Not only is it not at all like Lin Zhanqing, but the more you look at it, the more awkward it becomes. It's hard to say if there is anyone with such looks in this world.

Lin Zhanqing's portrait is of a man in his twenties, with a large nose and exposed nose hair. The eyebrows are bald, and the small eyes are flattened. The corners of his mouth are smiling, and he cleft it close to his earlobe. Rows of fangs bared. This is according to the appearance of the legendary evil ghost, painted by Lin Zhanqing?

At this time, Lin Zhanqing, like everyone else in the city, gathered around the city gate where the portrait was posted. The people around were terrified by the portrait. muttered,

"With such a vicious face, could it be that an evil ghost has entered the city?"

"Aren't demons only visible after dark?"

"Could it be that this is a ghost king, not even afraid of daytime?"

"A ghost king who can swagger and run rampant during the day?"

"The people in the city have no way to live!"

With a shout, the onlookers quickly dispersed. Lin Zhanqing is also among them.

Unlike the people of Qinwang Island, Lin Zhanqing didn't care how vicious and ugly this portrait was, how ghost-like and human-like.

Lin Zhanqing was very satisfied with the portrait, even if he arranged someone to paint it himself, it was difficult to paint such an artistic portrait.

Lin Zhanqing found a teahouse and sat down to taste tea slowly. When someone asked, they said that they had gone to travel outside the customs to travel through the mountains and rivers.

Such unreasonable and illogical words will not arouse suspicion. Because those who have ghosts in their hearts will definitely make up a very good reason.

It looks like, but it does say that someone would do it. Under Lin Zhan's straightforward words, no one paid attention to him, a stupid man.

In this way, Lin Zhanqing seized the opportunity.

first drank tea in the teahouse, and then went to the restaurant to order a banquet. Eat from morning to evening. And he drank two good daughters from the jars.

Lin Zhanqing, who was eating and drinking, seemed to be a little drunk, staggered, took out a piece of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper.

Then Lin Zhanqing staggered to go out, and stumbled a few times when he turned around.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant really saw too much of these drunk people, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold them. It took a lot of effort to carry Lin Zhanqing to the door of the restaurant.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was not worried that Lin Zhanqing was drunk like this, so he asked Lin Zhanqing where his house was, or where the inn he lived in.

It means that he wants to send Lin Zhanqing home.
