After Zhao Fuxin entered the Qi State as planned, he had to pass through Xuzhou, then through Defu and then to Bianliang. But not long after entering the Qi Kingdom, Zhang Jun changed his mind.

"We don't go to Xuzhou, we go to Yingzhou instead, and then take the official road to Bianliang. ”

"In this way, our distance will be doubled, does Lord Zhang think that there will be an ambush on the road as originally planned?"

"The virtuous nephew is the champion Lang, so I don't need to explain this matter. ”

Ouyang Feng and Li Si didn't talk much, both Zhang Jun and Zhao Fuxin were discussing big and small matters.

"If there is an ambush on this road, whose soldiers and horses does Master Zhang think it will be?"

"It's hard to say, a lot of people are possible. There are those who hold a grudge against the old man, those who want to destroy trade, and those who want to hijack you and me. ”

"So we have to be mentally motivated along the way. ”

Zhao Fuxin and a few people only took the small road, did not enter the city, and did not stop in the town, but they were afraid that they would miss their whereabouts. A few people also don't live in the post hotel, and they have been sleeping in the open air. Ouyang Feng and Li Si are okay, Zhang Jun is not young, and he is already tired after walking for many days.

"Lord Zhang, further down is Changfen Town, why don't we find a farmhouse in the vicinity tonight to rest?"

"No need, just to be on the safe side, you and I should build a shed outside the village. ”

"Lord Zhang, this place is not far from Yingzhou, it should be that the soldiers and horses who are in ambush have been avoided. Besides, the body under your feet is important, if you are tired, who will negotiate in Lebianliang?"

Zhang Jun reluctantly agreed, most of the villages in Qi that were far away from the towns were deserted, and only those close to the towns could barely survive. It is impossible for Zhao Fuxin and the others to stay in Changfen Town, not to mention that they have no official documents and cannot live in a hotel. Let's just say that they entered the Qi State from the Song State, and the two countries were not allowed to cross the border casually when they were at war. Moreover, if a few people came to trade, if they were known by the upper echelons of the Qi State, they would definitely cause death. Their situation at this time was that they could not let anyone know their whereabouts and purpose, and only when they entered Bianliang and met the Emperor of Qi could they be truly safe.

"Li Si, we are separated here, you go to Changfen Town to buy food and sundries, and we go to Jiankou Village in the south. I'll place rocks outside the farmer's house, it's still early, and it shouldn't be dark when you get back to Jiankou Village. ”

Li Si took the order to go, and the rest of the people went to Jiankou Village. There are more than 100 households in this Jiankou Village, which is quite a large village. When a few people came to the entrance of the village, they also met a few yellow dogs. The yellow dog still barked wildly, as if the yellow dogs everywhere had the same habits. When you walk past, it retreats, and if you move away from it, it will come after you. The barking of the yellow dog attracted several villagers, who were dressed in simple but warm clothes, unlike a poor village.

"How many of you, where did you come from?"

Ouyang Feng went to answer.

"We are from Fengyang and want to go to Yingzhou to do small business. ”

"Oh, what are you doing in Yingzhou?"

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and we're going to Yingzhou to buy some paper-cuttings. You know, this Yingzhou paper-cut is well-known for its goodness, and if we buy it back and sell it again, we will definitely make some money. ”

After listening to Ouyang Feng's words, several villagers didn't know whether they believed it or not. actually brought the yellow dog into the village, and Ouyang Feng didn't know what to do now.

"A few stayers, we want to stay in the village for one night, can it be convenient?"

"Then come with me to the village chief, he will let you live in it. ”

Talking like to ignore and indifferent attitudes, Zhao Fuxin and them were confused.

When he arrived at the village chief's house, Zhang Jun told him what Ouyang Feng had just said to him again. The village chief is a middle-aged man, full of energy, and he is also a practitioner. After listening to Zhang Jun's words, he said in a rough voice:

"Look at what you are wearing, you are also a person who is not short of money, why do you still do such a small business?"

"The village chief doesn't look at the paper-cutting is not beneficial, but once there are more, it is not a decimal. ”

"Okay, I don't care what you do, bring the customs clearance paperwork, and I'll let you stay. ”

Zhao Fuxin They didn't expect this person to ask for paperwork, and some villages lived in it before.

"A few of us lost our paperwork on the road, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered the village chief. ”

Zhao Fuxin said, handing over the silver prepared in his hand to the village chief. The village chief looked around and saw that no one had taken the money.

"Well, we're not bad people, just live with me. ”

The village chief took a few people to the wing, it seems that there has been no one living in it for some days, but it is okay to clean it up. Zhao Fuxin piled up a few stones outside the village chief's house, and went back to explain to the village chief that there was another person who wanted to live, but the village chief didn't say much, it seemed that he really didn't care about receiving the money.

Li Si really came back before dark, and several people had dinner together and slept in the wing. Several people have been sleeping in their own sheds since they entered the Qi Kingdom, not only leaking wind everywhere, but also unable to keep out the cold. It was the coldest time of the year, and it was rare for a few people to sleep in this warm room. Soon Ouyang Feng's snoring sound came from the room, and Zhao Fuxin slept very lightly, always paying attention to the situation outside. To his surprise, Li Si was not asleep at all, and looked out the window from time to time.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, and it shone on everything very clearly, and the moonlight poured through the windows, and the room was not very dark. Zhao Fuxin fell asleep in a daze, as if he heard a little sound from the window, like the wind. But when he slept, he had obviously closed the window, Zhao Fuxin opened his eyes and looked at the window, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but he looked carefully and found that there was a hole under the window, and there seemed to be some gas blowing in. It's not good, Zhao Fuxin came to his senses and knew that someone was blowing * into the house, and immediately shouted:

"Hurry up, we're in ambush!"

But a few people in the room didn't react at all, even Ouyang Feng was snoring as usual, and Zhao Fuxin's heart sank to the bottom.
