Night! A place more than 20 miles outside the outskirts of Nandi City.

Four or five torches burned brightly, and the two carriages parked next to them flickered and dimmed. Not far away, four or five men were scrambling to move some dead branches. They stacked the branches neatly, and at the top lay a rickety corpse.

The night is slightly cool, and the evening breeze is light.

Under a stout old locust tree, a man in white holds a white umbrella in his hand. A thin veil hung down from the edge of the umbrella, and the man's entire body was shrouded in that veil.

The breeze swept and the light yarn lifted. What was revealed was a terrifying face, expressionless and white spots of various sizes. The man remained motionless, his long, thin eyes staring closely at the corpse on the stack.

"Come on, light the fire!" shouted one of his men from the side of the man in white.

Suddenly, four or five torches were thrown at the stacks in unison. Dry firewood burns instantly. The flames were blazing, licking the corpses above mercilessly.

The man in white's body moved, and then his hands stretched out from within the white veil. I saw that between his two white fingers, there was a small brown wooden card. The wooden plaque was polished very smooth, and I saw three bloody small words written on it: Plum Blossom Village!

Suddenly, the man in white snapped his wrist forward. The wooden card shot out quickly under the force, and the card body rotated, driving the gusts of wind. When they reached the pyre, even the blazing flames swayed.

"Poof!"

The wooden plaque fell into the burning pyre, and countless sparks were raised in an instant. Immediately after, the bright red three small characters were instantly engulfed by the flames and disappeared without a trace.

The next day, the next day!

A disciple of Plum Blossom Village hurried into the abandoned courtyard.

"Senior sister, senior sister!" the man's tone was hurried, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.

"What's the matter, so flustered?"

"Enter, enter...... It's in town!"

"You mean, they're already in town?"

"That's right! Just entered the city!"

"They went to the southern suburbs?" asked Shen Linfeng first.

"Strangely, they didn't go to the southern suburbs!"

"And where did they go?"

"North of the city, Silver Spring Inn!"

"How did you do it? Didn't you let you keep an eye on it? Why did everyone enter the city and you found out?" Qiu Ningxue reprimanded with a displeased face.

This disciple of Plum Blossom Village trembled all over.

"I don't know very well about Senior Sister's words! Our secret sentry outside the city has never appeared, and it was I who found these people very suspicious at the city gate, so I followed. ”

After speaking, the disciple's eyes widened.

"No, senior sister, do you think they will ......?"

Qiu Ningxue interrupted his words with a wave of her hand.

"You go to the inn and keep an eye on it, and report what is going on in time! As for the secret sentry outside the city...... I'll send someone to check it out. ”

"Yes!" the disciple received the order and turned to leave.

"Brother Shen......"

Shen Linfeng waved his hand.

"Don't worry! After dawn, let's go to this inn to find out!"

"Hmm!" Qiu Ningxue nodded.

Silver Spring Inn is located north of Nandi City, which is only a few hundred meters away from the city gate. Although the storefront of the inn was not large, it was still overcrowded when Shen Linfeng entered.

"Two, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper who spoke was not tall, but he looked happy. He leaned to the side and said with a smile.

"Little Er, let's stay in the hotel!"

The shopkeeper swept lightly across the faces of the two.

"You two...... Sharing a room?"

Shen Linfeng grinned, and then took Qiu Ningxue into his arms.

The shopkeeper was also very shrewd, and immediately threw the towel into the house and shouted, "Okay...... Two distinguished guests, one in the upper room!"

"Oops...... Xiao Er is not busy first. ”

"Guest officer, what else do you have to order?"

Shen Linfeng smiled slightly, and said, "You can arrange the guest room by yourself, now bring us a table of good wine and food!" After speaking, he handed the shopkeeper a silver tael.

Seeing the silver money, the shopkeeper smiled even more, he shook the white towel, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the guest officer is wrapped in the little one." ”

Shen Linfeng and Qiu Ningxue followed the shopkeeper through the porch, and the moment they pushed the door open, a breath of wine and meat rushed towards them.

Shen Linfeng couldn't help frowning, and saw that there were already a lot of big men sitting in the entire hall. They gathered in twos and threes, some with rough faces and strong bodies. Some are dignified and elegant.

Shen Linfeng walked forward by himself, and the shopkeeper arranged the two of them in a position near the stairs. After looking at Shen Linfeng and Qiu Ningxue, the big men who were eating around continued to drink and eat meat.

"Guest officer, you two later, good wine and food will be delivered immediately. After saying that, he ran quickly to the back kitchen.

"Brother Shen, these people are ......" Qiu Ningxue poured tea while scanning the big men around her.

Shen Linfeng was even more silent, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Do you still need to ask? They must all be here to attend the Nanyang party." ”

Qiu Ningxue nodded slightly, obviously she also thought of this.

"Come on......" The shopkeeper quickly shuttled in front of the various tables with his throat.

"A plate of fat sausages, a pound of sauce beef, three taels of vinegared peanuts, and half a pound of old soju!" After speaking, the shopkeeper put the wooden plate under his armpit.

"Guest officer, you two have all the food and drink. Please slow down ......"

For food, Shen Linfeng is not very picky. But this old wine in the capital, Shen Linfeng tasted it for the first time.

In the blink of an eye, two large bowls of wine were already in the stomach. Shen Linfeng smacked his lips in satisfaction, while Qiu Ningxue poked her head over and carefully observed the surroundings.

Shen Linfeng couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her like this.

I said...... You don't need to be so nervous, you and I should eat, drink, and fill our stomachs first. ”

Although Qiu Ningxue nodded, her tense nerves did not relax in the slightest.

Shen Linfeng didn't bother to care about her anymore, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.

The entry of Shen Linfeng and Qiu Ningxue, although it also attracted the attention of many people, most people did not take these two people seriously. So, it didn't take long for the whole hall to be back to normal. The sound of laughter and scolding, the sound of slamming glasses, and even the sound of vomiting after drinking too much alcohol, came to mind in the inn one after another.

"Hey, brothers from Erlong Mountain, you are also here to participate in this Nanyang rally?"

The person who spoke sat beside Shen Linfeng, his body was sturdy, and half of his arms were exposed. Above his shoulder, a lifelike green dragon surrounds his shoulder.

"Yo...... Isn't this Hall Master Chen? Look at my eyes, I sat here for a long time and didn't see you. It's really disrespectful, disrespectful...... "The person who speaks is on the thin side, although his words are respectful. But when he spoke, he looked sideways, obviously not taking the other party seriously.
