The night became darker and darker, but it became more and more noisy, and there was a shout of killing in the wilderness illuminated by countless torches, and after an entourage finally glanced at Yuan Chenglin and the three of them who were leaving quickly on the other side of the suspension bridge, he laughed and swallowed the suspension bridge in an instant......

Fort Lone Peak.

"Three, the wine has been satisfied. ”

The three people at the table glanced at each other and placed ten gold coins on the table.

"Haha, is it only worth ten gold?"

"Don't get me wrong, the lord of the lonely castle is just asking the lord of the lonely castle and the brothers in the castle to go to the 'Smoke and Rain Building' to play for a few days, and there will be another thank you after the matter is completed. ”

"Really?" Gu Hongxin chuckled and poured himself a glass of wine; "But my brothers still like to stay in the castle, really." ”

"The lonely brother is righteous, but have you ever thought about the hundreds of brothers in the castle?"

"What Brother Xin said is very true, no wonder Xinjiazhuang has been in full swing in recent years, haha. ”

......

The table fell silent again, and after a long time, there was a sigh.

"Does Brother Gu insist on this?" Gu Hongxin didn't answer, but felt that the hand holding the cup was unprecedentedly stable.

"In this case, for the sake of several other villages, I can only hope that the orphan brother will cherish it in the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, the cup shattered, and Gufeng Fort, which had been quiet for more than ten years, was finally drowned out by the sound of killing......

Five days later, in the mansion of Fang Yucheng 100 miles southeast of Gufeng Fort.

"Returning to Governor Chen, Governor Lian and Supervisor Zhou were attacked by unknown people in the rivers and lakes, and once again lost the trace of Yuan Chenglin. ”

"Got it, go down. ”

"It's Governor Chen. ”

After his subordinates retreated, Inspector Chen, who had a clean face, picked up the teacup and said lightly: "I didn't expect that in addition to Gufeng Fort, there are so many righteous people who don't want to die in the land of three forests and five rivers. ”

"Governor Chen. Behind the screen, a male voice came out: "How is the arrangement of the Antenna Gorge?"

"Don't worry, Childe, I thought it was arranged properly, and the rest depends on the luck of our Yuan Gongzi. ”

"Everything is in the hands of Governor Lao Chen. As soon as the words fell, the figure behind the screen disappeared, and only Governor Chen was left in the large hall silently savoring the fragrance in the cup.

There is a natural fault on the east side of the Longguan Mountain Range, although the width is less than five meters, the mountain is dangerous, and several dividing lines belong to the Free County, the Cold Moon Empire and the Xiaoyang Empire, so since the establishment of the Great Wall, it has become one of the main smuggling channels of the Free County, the Cold Moon Empire and the Xiaoyang Empire.

Camel Town, a town not in the Xiaoyang Empire, an outlaw town composed of a group of "smugglers" and "hunters", for various reasons, this town has become a paradise and gold cave for all smugglers, not only luxury and drunkenness, but also nourishing all kinds of sin and killing, a place that even the Imperial Fan Gate and the Imperial Shoji are afraid of.

The yellow wind at the entrance of the town was still the same, and a team of inconspicuous camels slowly entered the town, just like every "smuggler" came to a fenced inn.

"A few guest officers, are you going to go to the goods or the tea room?" Xiao Er greeted him with a smile.

At this time, the bearded man of the team leader smiled and said: "The shopkeeper Wu in the west said that you can take the goods here, and asked me to ask Boss Zhou how to move the goods now." ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yo, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from the west, come here, please!" Saying that, Xiao Er was leading the way, and after the bearded man gave a few people behind him, several people carried a few baskets and entered.

After everyone entered the inn, although they occasionally attracted unkind eyes, they all disappeared in a flash, and they followed Xiao Er into a private room in the backyard.

"Wait a few guest officers, I'll go and call Boss Zhou. Xiao Er said and retreated, closed the door and left.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent, except for the occasional sound of drinking water and the sound of swallowing due to nervousness.

"Haha!" A moment later, the door was pushed open amid a burst of laughter, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, a slightly chubby figure with a mustache walked in;

When the bearded man heard this, he got up and arched his hand: "The jade skin in the west and the rice in the south, and the pearls of the nine seas are not tribute. ”

"Oh, I heard that there are five eagles in the East, can this gentleman have them?"

"Diao Peng is not the sea, the turtle shark is difficult to climb the mountain, and there are only three jars of wine in the goods. The bearded man glanced at the man behind him, who immediately took out three small jars from the basket.

"Why is the name of one altar silver, one drink can relieve the sorrow of the material; the second altar is called gold is not changed, one drink can make the fragrant bones charming; the third altar is called Salon Yin, and one drink can roll up the north wind. ”

Boss Zhou couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Although the wine is fragrant and attractive, the south wind is too tight to drink at night. ”

"Although the south wind can't hold the sand, Tanlong looks back at the pearl newspaper. The bearded man made a gesture as he spoke, and Boss Zhou then stretched out his hand, and the bearded man wrote a word on his hand again.

"Okay, since Shopkeeper Wu is so sincere, then wait for me to ask Qingfeng first, and you can cross the southeast tonight. ”

"The good wind travels thousands of miles by boat, I don't know when the bright moon will accompany you?" said the bearded man and put his hand into Boss Zhou's long sleeves, and after a while, he smiled and said: "It is rare to appreciate it with Yayue, and I will bring soft incense to the banquet." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come with three fresh moons. ”

"Then there's Boss Lao Zhou. ”

"Sir is polite, then I will take my leave. ”

"Shopkeeper Wu walked slowly. ”

......

After the bearded man sent the shopkeeper Wu away, he went back to the room and asked another person to take out the map and said, "Today, everyone will rest for the night, and tomorrow I will go to pick up the shopkeeper Wu to get the token." At three o'clock tomorrow night, Li Cheng, you will take Yuan Gongzi and them here to meet me;

"It's Captain Cao. ”

"Captain Cao. At this time, Yuan Chenglin, who was dressed as a white-haired old man, got up and arched his hand and said: "This trip is tribulous, but fortunately, Captain Cao rescued him with righteousness, and Yuan thanked him again." As he spoke, he knelt down.

"Yuan Gongzi is serious!" Captain Cao hurriedly helped Yuan Chenglin up and said: "Marquis Yuan once had a life-saving grace for me, and the son is burdened by the eradication of the demon, no matter whether he is righteous or loyal, Cao will definitely protect the son with his life." ”

"Childe. At this time, the entourage on the side said: "Captain Cao's grace will be blessed in the future, the son has been working hard for days, and this is the time to cultivate, thinking that he will cross the mountain and travel thousands of miles of yellow sand to prepare for the future." ”

"What Tang Guard said is very true, everyone has been tired for a few days, Feng Gui, you go and order some of the best wine and food and let Xiao Er prepare enough hot water so that everyone can soak their feet after eating. ”

"It's Captain Cao. ”

......

A night of wind could not extinguish the lights, the hustle and bustle, and the blood and greed that came out of the darkness of this lonely town in the middle of nowhere.

The next day, after Cao Xiaowei arranged for people to go to the inn to guard the surroundings, he left Yuan Chenglin and a few people to wait in the room, and he left the fenced inn and walked directly to a casino in the town.

In the casino, after Cao Xiaowei quickly lost a hundred silver coins, he turned around and walked to the loan office of the casino after asking for a loan voucher.

"This brother is very raw, I don't know where he came from?" said the big man who lent money, looking at Captain Cao with a wary face.

Captain Cao then bowed his hand and said: "The wind has eight directions, and it is biased to the east, and the wine is insufficient, and it is difficult to walk on the road. ”

Dahan was stunned for a moment, and then compared a knotted rope gesture and said: "Although the wind is fortunate, it is difficult to carry passengers, and the water boat is not good, so what is the reason for you?"

Captain Cao then gestured to open the knot rope and replied: "The water does not work, the boat has the moon to accompany it, and when the wind is not strong, the three fresh sacrifices are made." ”

Seeing this, Dahan said: "The road is long, how can you send it?"

"Three altars of righteousness, travel thousands of miles. ”

After listening to this, Dahan looked at Captain Cao again, and then he turned around and said, "Brother Tai has offended a lot, I hope to forgive me, please inside." ”

"You're welcome. After a little bowing his hand, Captain Cao strode into it, and then the big man who followed closely walked to the counter and whispered in the ear of the little old man with a sheep's beard, and then the little old man got up and said, "This brother is from the west." ”

"Exactly. ”

"Who's the owner?"

"Shopkeeper Wu. ”

"Which shopkeeper Wu?"

"Go to the west to the jade skin and go to the south to the rice, and the Wu shopkeeper who fights the river for thousands of miles to win the sea pearl. ”

"What kind of goods are you going to go this time, brother?"

"Three altars of fine wine send the east wind and send me bright goods to the end of the world. ”

"Brother, please come with me. The little old man turned and walked towards the small door beside him.

After Captain Cao followed up, the little old man took out a sign and a sealed letter from the cabinet next to him, then put them on the table and said, "This is the letter and interface for tonight's delivery." ”

Captain Cao took out a string of gold coins wrapped in red paper from his waist bag and put them on the table; "This is a deposit of one hundred gold coins, please take a look." ”

"Then offend. The little old man skillfully folded the red paper, and then smiled after groping for the gold coins back and forth with his right hand: "Okay, the little old man will first wish Brother Tai a smooth sail and all the way to the shore." ”

"Borrow the good words of Mr. After Captain Cao gave up his hand, he opened the sealed letter, and after completely memorizing the interface in his heart, he put the letter paper aside and lit the candle, and after seeing that the letter paper was completely burned to ashes, he arched his hand and said: "I will leave here." ”

"Brother is good to go. ”
