At noon, everyone found an inn, and saw that the inn was also deserted, although it was a meal, there were only three or two people in the store eating, all with sad faces.

A few people sat down and ordered a few dishes, and when the restaurant was serving, Zhang Yu grabbed the guy and asked: "Dare to ask the little brother, I didn't look like this when I came to Qingzhou a few months ago, why is Qingzhou City so depressed at this time?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Yu, saw that he was not very old, his expression was gentle, and he whispered: "It's not surprising that the guest officer doesn't know, Qingzhou City was indeed prosperous a few months ago, including ten days ago, and not long ago, there were several big cases in the city, and after the prefect posted the notice, people were even more panicked, and everyone didn't dare to go out, so they have the appearance they have now."

Everyone was surprised, Yin Rongyang asked: "I don't know what a big case it is?" The shopkeeper said: "Not long ago, a large number of strongmen came from nowhere, and they came to Qingzhou City to kill people when they saw them, and they also burned a lot of houses, and they came for several days in a row, killing a lot of people and robbing a lot of things, making a lot of noise, everyone was in danger, and the people in the city did not dare to go to the street."

Zhang Yu was shocked: "I heard that the prefect Zhan Jing loves the people so much, and it is like a blue sky and bright moon to the people, doesn't he care?"

The guy sighed and said: "Lord Zhan can't afford to be sick, how can he take care of us, and the lord also issued a notice saying that tens of thousands of wicked people will enter the city soon, and when the time comes, they will enter the city and wash the entire Qingzhou City with blood, so that the people are so frightened that they will not come out."

Ling Xiao said: "Why don't we see people fleeing from the west?"

The shopkeeper said: "We have lived a good life for more than half a year under the blessing of Lord Zhan, and we are grateful to Lord Zhan, and the notice said that he has a strategy to deal with the enemy, so we don't have to worry, not to mention that now that the army is in chaos, where can we poor people flee to, although people are panicking, everyone believes in Lord Zhan, so no one escapes" Ling Xiao nodded and waved his hand, and the shopkeeper retreated.

Ling Xiao asked: "What do you think about this matter?" Mu Ruosheng said: "That shop is accompanied by a small guy in the inn, I don't expect to know our identity and deceive us, besides, the street is extremely deserted, and it doesn't seem to be a lie" Ling Xiao nodded, Zhang Yu said: "I think it's better to explore the deep courtyard of the prefect at night to see if Zhan Jing is really sick or fake" Everyone nodded, and after eating, they asked for a few rooms.

There was nothing to say for a long time, and it was easy to get to the dead of night, everyone packed up and stopped, and rushed to the prefect's inner office, and when they arrived at the door of the ya, they saw that the door was closed Ling Xiao said: "There are many people and miscellaneous eyes, but it is inconvenient, I don't think it is as good as Brother Mu and the three girls to meet us outside" The four people agreed, Zhang Qinger said: "Brother Yu be careful" Zhang Yu nodded, and several people flew up and went to the room lightly.

Ling Xiao suddenly said: "I don't know why I feel uneasy."

Yin Rongyang said in a low voice: "The alliance leader is too worried, this time is just to listen to the news, it is expected that no matter how high the martial arts of the Dongying people are, how can they be our opponents, and there are Shaolin Wuben abbots in the camp, and Taishan Zhao Lingyun Senior Brother leads the heroes, I believe nothing will happen."

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I must be too worried" The two whispered, and they had swept to the inner courtyard, and saw that although there were soldiers patrolling the courtyard, they were all yawning and listless, and some of the soldiers were still talking and laughing, and there was no discipline at all.

Although Ling Xiao and a few people were proud of their boldness, they did not want to make extraneous branches, so as to quietly avoid those patrol soldiers, and walked to the deep courtyard, seeing that there were many houses, they wanted to catch one person and ask for clarification, but they saw that the central room was still lit up, and when they were about to step forward, they suddenly heard a burst of footsteps behind them, and they didn't need to look back to know that they were patrolmen.

Ling Xiao opened a tile and looked inside, and saw a person in a purple robe, with a delicate figure, sitting in front of a round table full of dishes, as if he was waiting for someone.

Just when a few people were surprised, they only heard the people in the room laughing loudly: "Haha, a few friends came from afar, why do you do some sneaky acts, this official has been waiting for a long time, why don't you come and have a few drinks" Several people were shocked when they heard this, and they all thought: "How could he find out about us, it's not that we are being followed"

Ling Xiao thought to himself: "Since you are here, you are not afraid, but you want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?" Several people are all strong in martial arts, and they have never paid attention to an official of the imperial court, they jumped out of the room with a glance at each other, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Zhang Yufang entered the door, he recognized that this person was the official who entered Qingzhou City that day, the official who inspected the people, Zhan Jing.

As soon as a few people entered the door, Zhan Jing got up and came to the front with a fist and said with a smile: "The alliance leader has come to give up another place, this official has been waiting for a long time, the dishes are cold, come and sit down."

Ling Xiao was slightly shocked and thought: "He even knows my identity?" Seeing that Zhan Jing's smile was extremely sincere, if it wasn't for the enemy, several people would really regard him as a close friend, Ling Xiao's face did not change and he hugged his fists and said: "Please" said and sat down at the table first, and Zhang Yu and the others sat next to him.

Zhan Jing first filled a glass for a few people, and then said: "This official will do it first as a respect" said and raised his head and drank the wine.

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "I heard the people in the city say that Lord Zhan is critically ill and bedridden, and now Lord Zhan is alive and well in front of us, and he still has the heart to invite us to wait, it seems that the people's mouths are all lies."

Zhan Jing waved his hand again and again and smiled: "It's just some fictitious things, it can't be true, it can't be true..."

Ling Xiao asked: "The people in the city regard you as a god, and there is such a big thing happening in the city, you even pretend to be sick and ignore it."

Zhan Jing said: "Oh, I'm afraid what the alliance leader said is the bandits in the city" After speaking, he took a drink to himself and said with a smile: "Ling Daxia must be witty to be the leader of the alliance, why don't you know such tricks, isn't that bandit in front of me?"

Everyone was shocked and thought: "It turns out that the bandit they said turned out to be me" Zhan Jing suddenly clapped his palms, only to see a person coming out of the back room, he was short, in his twenties, and the servant was dressed as Hao Ran was the shopkeeper in the inn at noon today, only to hear the shopkeeper say: "A few guests are invited"

Zhan Jing said with a smile: "Since a few officials entered the city, they already knew, how could they be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance with such a little scheming?"

He just wanted to drink Chi Zhan Jing, but suddenly felt dizzy in his head, looking at the smoke of the incense burner on the table, he actually felt a sense of drowsiness, only to see Yin Rongyang lying in front of the table with a "poof", he was stunned and then fell down, Zhang Yu shook his body and fell down.

Zhan Jing saw that the three of them had been hit by the "Flower Soul Scattering", he stood up and sneered: "The three of them are all extremely famous figures in the Central Plains martial arts, and they can't imagine that they have this ability."

As soon as he had finished speaking, two men came out of the back room, one of them was full of resentment, his eyes were deep-set, his expression was haggard, and his hair was black and white, but he was in his forties like an old man in his twilight years.

There is also a person in his twenties, his expression is erratic, but his eyes are full of hatred, these two are Cheng Teng and his son-in-law Cao Yukuan.
