"Something must have happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Li Mu put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance.

"I don't need you to say this, I know it. Zhang Di's face turned cold obviously. He walked briskly into the back room and pulled out his knife. Then he hurried out again.

Zhou Moji looked at his back and said, "What do we say?"

Shen Li looked at Li Mu, in the small group of the three of them, Li Mu was already dominant. Shen Li waited for Li Mu's decision.

Li Mu thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go too." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Li and Zhou Moji, wanting to see how they would react.

Shen Li nodded, and Zhou Mo did not object.

So, the three of them followed Zhang Di together.

Zhang Di was worried, so his steps were also in a hurry. He was alone in front, and Li Mu and the others could only roughly see his back, so they followed him very hard. The sky had completely darkened, and Li Mu could only stare at Zhang Di's figure tightly so as not to be thrown off by him.

The four of them came together within the confines of the village. At this time, the houses are lit up, and there are still hot meals on the dining tables of several families. But all of these families have one thing in common, and that is that no one is there.

And the noise coming from the front seemed to be even louder. Zhang Di's brows were already furrowed, because he had a bad premonition. Li Mu followed him, but he didn't know what was going on in front of him.

They soon found out, though.

The ancestral hall of Nanmu Village is located in the center of the entire village. There is a relatively empty square in front of the door. Now the square in front of this ancestral hall is crowded with people. Among these people, there were two groups of people, one group of people holding torches and bright weapons in their hands. The other group of people are unarmed villagers.

Zhang Di's performance was beyond Li Mu's expectations. Li Mu looked at his anxious appearance, and thought that he would jump out directly, but Zhang Di found a hidden corner and hid it. He glanced at Li Mu, and the three of them were also hiding in an alley, watching the development of the situation from afar.

In fact, until now, Li Mu didn't know what had happened. All he saw was a group of people driving the villagers together, and then a sturdy man stood in the center. The light of the fire could not reflect his face, but just looking at his back was enough to show that this person did not look very easy to deal with.

"Who is this person?" asked Li Mu in a low voice.

Zhang Di stared at him, and he didn't know whether there was a fire in his blue eyes, or if it was really a fire. He said in a lowered voice, "Qiao Xiwen." ”

Li Mu heard that he had mentioned this name, so he also remembered his identity, Cao Gang Shuzhou Branch Helm Zhu Youtang Six Ancestors Xiangxiang Master - Qiao Xiwen.

"Although his name is Xi Wen, I'm afraid he is actually a person who practices martial arts, right?" Li Mu said.

Zhang Di said expressionlessly: "Better than me." ”

"Then you still ......" Shen Ligang wanted to persuade him, but Qiao Xiwen's voice came from there.

The voice is loud and goes well with his size. "Everyone, excuse me. ”

"Today, there are two things to trouble you. Qiao Xiwen looked around, and everywhere he looked, there was no sound. He continued, "Of course, I want to trouble you, but I don't want you to come to me for trouble. He held out his hand.

Only then did Li Mu see that there was still a person under his feet.

"It's not been a day or two since the Cao Gang took over the Liuzu River, and I, Qiao, am also good to everyone on weekdays, right? Hahaha, so as long as you cooperate with me, I won't trouble you. ”

"Without further ado, the first and most important thing is the first and most important thing. Following the order of Du Biying, the king of the Cao Gang, the four wicked people pursued by the Cao Gang today are likely to have escaped here. As the owner of incense, I am in charge of the peace of one party, so naturally I can't slack off. I came overnight to search for these four people in the village. If you can give me a clue, then I'll be happy. ”

"And the other thing is about the previous matter of paying off the debt with the children. ”

When Qiao Xiwen mentioned this, there was a sudden loud uproar among the villagers.

"What kind of debt! How can someone forcibly capture the people's daughters in broad daylight!" A somewhat old, but confident voice sounded.

"Yo, Old Village Chief Zhang. At your age, don't be strong, right?" Qiao Xiwen smiled and walked in front of the trembling old man. "I, Qiao, have always been law-abiding, and I think you also understand how much convenience there is in the village after the connection of the Six Ancestral Canals. ”

"The canal was repaired by our Cao Gang, and it doesn't take too much interest to collect some interest, right?"

When the old village chief Zhang heard this, his face became extremely ugly. "Interest, three hundred and twenty-one years of interest, Boss Qiao can afford our Nanmu Village. We fish in our village for a living, and we don't get much silver on weekdays, so where did we get the huge sum of three hundred taels?"

"Well, I'm not unreasonable. You can't pay, so I approve of taking people to pay. Qiao Xiwen pouted and said. "It's not much, three girls, this price is equivalent to one hundred and twenty people. Now the maids who have been trained in Songyang City are only ten taels. Ten times the price, aren't you satisfied? The old man's appetite is too big, right?"

"Ten...... Ten taels of maids?" Zhang Laocun was furious, pointed at Qiao Xiwen's nose and scolded, "Can the girl with an innocent family in the village compare with those who have entered the lowly nationality?"

"Why can't it be compared? They are all born and raised by their parents, but their lives are different. You yourself don't look down on being a slave and a servant, so if I give you ten times the price, can't you match your very high level?" Qiao Xiwen is worthy of being a person named after the word Xiwen, and when he speaks, he holds a stick with a stick.

Old Village Chief Zhang was angry with him, and he was already angry. His face turned purple enough to see the intensity of his anger.

At this time, a young girl also came out. Under the firelight, the girl's face was a little delicate, but her eyes were full of anger. "Shut up!" she reprimanded Qiao Xiwen in a delicate voice.

Qiao Xiwen turned his head, saw that it was her, and said with a smile: "It seems that you still know the current affairs." What about the other two?"

The girl walked up to the old village chief Zhang and said loudly: "What's the matter, come to me, don't be embarrassed by my grandfather." ”

"Hehe, your grandfather is too low to sell you. Why don't you come and negotiate with me?" Qiao Xiwen continued to laugh, "It's a long night, we can find a secluded place to talk slowly." ”

"Ling'er. Don't ......" Old Village Chief Zhang took the girl's hand, trying to stop her.

"Ling'er. Is she Ling'er?" Li Mu looked at Zhang Di, who was obviously nervous after the girl appeared. Even breathing was a little heavy.

Qiao Xiwen's words made Zhang Lingling a little nervous, because although she was not very old, she was not ignorant of men and women. Qiao Xiwen's flirting is too explicit, how can she not know the meaning?

The people in the Cao Gang around heard Qiao Xiwen's words of teasing Zhang Lingling, and they all laughed evilly. There is also no shortage of coaxing, let Qiao Xiwen take people away directly.

"Wait!" At this time, another young man who was not a few years older than Li Mu stood up. He walked quickly to Zhang Lingling's side and blocked her behind him. "You can't take Ling'er away. ”

"Brother Yao. Ling'er looked at the back in front of her, her eyes full of emotion. And the old village chief Zhang looked at the man with a surprised face, "Guangyao, you ......"

Zhang Guangyao glanced back at Old Village Chief Zhang and Zhang Lingling, as if he had made up his mind. "I know what kind of news about the wicked people you are talking about, can this news be changed to Ling'er?"

When Qiao Xiwen heard this, his heart moved. He raised his hand and said, "You say." ”

"You can say if you can change it first. Zhang Guangyao gritted his teeth and bargained with Qiao Xiwen. Qiao Xiwen looked at him, but he was thinking quickly in his mind. The king of heaven ordered by the gambling king Du Biying to find four people. One of them is a Taoist priest, and the other is three boys. These four people are the great enemies of the Cao Gang. If there is news reported, the official will be directly promoted to one level. If you can use such a big condition to trend people to find it, then these four people must be very important.

The official was promoted to the next level, and how much effort did he spend to become the master of a fragrant incense. If he wants to be the master of the hall, it may take a long time, and if this opportunity allows him to directly skip the master of incense and become the master of the hall, it will be different.

As for the girl, Lord Lang Helm hurriedly returned to Lingzhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy it. Then it doesn't seem too much to try it for him. But you really have to compare, a maiden to a hall master. Of course, Qiao Xiwen chose the latter, and he did not hesitate and never regretted it.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Guangyao: "As long as what you say is true, then I will promise you, how about letting this little beauty go?"

"Okay!" Zhang Guangyao agreed, he pointed to the east, and said, "This afternoon, I saw Zhang Di enter the village with three outsiders. Zhang Di is not a good person in the first place, and the person he brought in is likely to be the wicked person you want to chase. ”

"Oh?" Before Qiao Xiwen could distinguish the authenticity of the news, the old village chief Zhang on the side was already about to pick up his crutches and beat Zhang Guangyao. "Bastard! How can you say that about Zhang Di?"

Zhang Guangyao subconsciously dodged, but he didn't give in: "That's the truth, that indigo-eyed monster, the person who is with him really doesn't look like a good person." ”

"How many people are with him? Qiao Xiwen interrupted the argument between the two.

Zhang Guangyao snapped his fingers and said, "Three, one is a little older, but he is only in his twenties, and the other two are in their teens. It's just that one is slightly stronger, and the other is too thin. ”

"Three teenagers, no Taoist priests. If you don't talk about the appearance, it is in line with the news that comes. Qiao Xiwen said to himself. Then, he said to Zhang Guangyao, "What about that Zhang Di? Where is he?"

Zhang Guangyao pointed to the east, "He lives in the easternmost part of the village, I can take you there." But you have to let Ling'er go. Can't hit her attention anymore. ”

Qiao Xiwen nodded and said kindly, "That's nature. ”
