Four hours later. It's the end of the hour. The moon was still hazy, and the sky was getting brighter. In a gray sky, the sun and the moon hung in the sky at the same time, one east and one west, one bright and one dark.

Rao is horse has been driving for a day, and has not rested at night, and is already tired. It took a full hour to get back to the inn than it had been when I had fled.

Li Bing hadn't slept all night, and he was somewhat tired. When I walked through the archway of the town, I opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look, and the two people inside were sleeping soundly. He slowed down the carriage and reached out to shake Yinglan'er, a neat row of tooth marks on the back of his hand still oozing blood.

"When you get to town, get up quickly, and in a moment we will say that he has escaped and been captured by us. Li Bing saw that she didn't get up, and gently pushed twice: "Are you sure it's okay?"

Ying Lan'er stubbornly resisted twice, but was finally shaken awake, sleepy-eyed and bloodshot. Rubbing his eyes with his right hand, he covered his mouth with his left hand and yawned: "No problem, no matter what we say, they all know that we took it away, and now that the people have been handed back, as long as they have a good face, they won't care so much." After all, they are all four Legalists, and they can't make trouble. ”

Li Bing closed the curtain of the carriage and snorted: "I knew that you slept so dead, so I left by myself." ”

Ying Lan'er seemed to be clear when she heard it, and said loudly: "I am willing to lose the bet, since I have lost, I must keep my promise and help me send him back." ”

Li Bing shook his head and smiled slightly: "Who would have thought that a dignified and non-factional woman would actually 'cry and bite at the same time', I am really convinced." ”

As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived at the door of the inn. The main entrance was ajar, and the two lanterns hanging in front of the door were still glowing with faint candlelight. Yinglan'er got out of the carriage and walked in front alone. Li Bing wanted to get An Qingfang up, but seeing that the kid was yellow and thin, and sleeping soundly, he just pushed him gently, and when he turned his head, Yinglan'er had already entered the inn, so he said to her: "You go first, I'll untie his rope and come over." ”

Li Binggang untied the rope on his feet, and before Yinglan'er could reply, he only heard a scream from the inn. said that it was too late, and he couldn't take care of An Qingfang, who was half-awake and half-asleep in the car, and immediately rushed into the inn, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

The four walls of the inn hall had been stained red with blood, and the few corpses on the ground were so miserable that they could barely be identified, they were the four people from the shopkeeper and Yunqi Sect. All five of them seemed to have died by exploding, and their internal organs were splashed all over the ground, so they were not disgusting.

Li Bing almost vomited when he saw this tragic situation: "What kind of evil law is this?"

Yinglan'er has not long been in the rivers and lakes, and she has never seen such a tragic situation, so she is really choked: "I haven't seen it either." Look at the blood is still bright red, these people have died not long ago, the murderer may not have gone far, let's go quickly. ”

Li Bing nodded yes, turned his head and wanted to escape from the inn, An Qingfang also walked in, and when he saw this scene, he was scared and shuddered, exited the inn in three or two steps, and shouted to the two: "It's him, he's back to find me." It was the one who asked me to steal things, and the people he had killed the Yunqi Sect before also used this method. It's him, it must be him!"

"It's too dangerous here, let's get out of here. After Li Bing finished speaking, he led the horse to the car and whipped it violently.

Yinglan'er was shocked, but just nodded and said yes.

Tread, step, step!

Tread, step, step!

Before I knew it, the sky was already slightly brighter.

As soon as the carriage of the three people left, a figure leaned out on the second floor of the inn. The man was dressed in a black gauze robe, and his face was covered by a black hood on his head. He grabbed one hand on the window frame, the blood vessels in both arms burst out, his skin was bright red, and with a little force, the solid wood window was crushed by the scratch.

Looking back at Li Bing and the three of them, after galloping out of the thirty miles, the horse fell to the ground and couldn't stand up anymore, so the three of them could only get out of the carriage.

Li Bing unbuckled the horse, looked at the horse that fell to the ground, spit blood, obviously exhausted, and couldn't live anymore, so he could only gently touch its neck and said: "Ma'er, Ma'er, this time I can't stand you, you died in vain." ”

The horse had been tired for a day during the day, and at night he was tossed by Li Bing like this, and he pumped the horse's butt like crazy, and finally died of exhaustion.

Ying Lan'er got out of the car and looked at the horse and felt even more uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Now that there is no horse, it is better if we don't take the carriage, Yunqizong's carriage is too easy to recognize, let's walk." ”

An Qingfang also seemed to calm down, got out of the carriage, looked at Li Bing and said, "Can you untie the rope in my hand, my shoulders are numb, and I want to drink some water." Don't worry, I won't run, if I am caught by that person, it is better to go to Yunqi Sect to be safe, anyway, I didn't do anything wrong, it's a big deal to be beaten, it's better than losing my life. ”

Li Bing glanced at him and looked at him, but he felt pity. Standing up, he drew Yinglan'er's short sword, cut the rope in his hand, and said, "You are not very wrong in this matter. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. ”

Yinglan'er was about to stop it, but as soon as her hand stretched out, she retracted it again: "Forget it, if you want to go, let's go." After speaking, he looked at Li Bing again: "Then let's leave it at that." ”

Li Bing watched her turn away, and subconsciously shouted, "Eh! Then where are you going?"

Ying Lan'er said in a low voice: "I thought about it carefully, when I was in the inn before, the beard told me not to 'sign up' for the next few days." Plus the Legalist Assembly' just a month later. I think those people are probably coming for the Legalists. I'm going to report to the 'Shufeng Chamber of Commerce'. ”

After hearing this, Li Bing was inexplicably a little happy: "Oh, go to Shuzhong, I also happened to be on the way." Why don't I send you a paragraph, and if something happens, I can still help. ”

Yinglan'er was also a little uneasy, but when she saw that Li Bing intended to go along, she was naturally overjoyed, and nodded in agreement immediately.

Li Bing turned around again and asked An Qingfang what he meant: "What about you? Where are you going? Be careful next time you steal something, don't be caught again, hahahaha." ”

An Qingfang hummed twice, and after a period of silence, he looked at Li Bing and said, "I'd better go with you, I don't have anywhere else to go anyway." Since you're going to report the news, I also know a little bit of the inside story, so it's better to explain it. ”

Li Bing greatly appreciated these words, and slapped An Qingfang's shoulder and said, "This is really beyond my expectations, not bad." If you are willing to do so, then I will fight to protect your safety. ”

He straightened his clothes and said to the two of them: "I didn't see a tea stall on the road just now, and I guess there should be one not far ahead." Tidy up your clothes, too, so that no one can see the flaws. After a night of tossing, we went to the front to fill our hunger and see if we could find two horses. ”

The three of them took some baggage from the carriage, abandoned the carriage, and walked up the official road together.

In the distance, the sun has risen, and the dew on the grass has melted, and the morning in Shu in August is always so refreshing.
