The waning moon was slanting in the west, the roosters were crowing, and on the empty street, three tired figures were blown by the breeze in the middle of the night; they seemed to be wandering spirits wandering on the lonely empty street, and like a husband returning from a bloody battle on the battlefield, with tired expressions and gloomy faces.

At the forefront, he was a blood-stained young man, his face was cold and handsome, his cheeks were covered with scum, and his restrained eyes had a bright light like a cold star. His steps could have been very fast, but in order to take care of an old man with a gray beard and an unkempt boy behind him, his steps have always maintained a slow and even pace. His clothes were covered with blood, and he looked like a sergeant returning from battle, with perseverance that defied danger and obstacles, and walked forward resolutely.

Behind him, the old man with white hair and the unkempt boy in brown always leaned on each other and walked hand in hand, and the boy in brown was always taking care of the old man next to him at all times, and even when he walked, he always leaned sideways towards him, as if as long as the old man made a slight mistake, she would go all out to support him.

In this way, they walked through the deserted street in the dusk moonlight, and walked towards the Happy Forest Inn.

In this world, there are two doors that are always open for passers-by, one is the door of the inn, and the other is the door of service for the women of the Qinglou.

Now the lanterns of the Kuaiyi Lin Inn are smiling and greeting passers-by with a warm light, making the three lonely travelers feel warmth and hope.

So, they walked persistently towards the Kuaiyi Lin Inn.

However, the young man who was in the lead, covered in blood, was very vigilant, and he found two horses tied to the tying stone outside the inn's door, and these two horses were still fresh in the young man's memory. A white horse dotted with black spots, a brown and red fierce horse.

These two horses, one night a few days ago, it was You Haitao, the leader of the Green Dragon Gang, and Fang Ping, the head of the Green Dragon Gang, who rode them to the inn, and they also negotiated a deal with this young man.

This young man is Nanjian, the deal that the Qinglong Gang agreed with him was that day, he went to the Medicine King Valley to assassinate the jade-faced divine doctor Qiu Renjie!

Time has passed really hard, since so many things have happened in the past few days! And now, Fang Ping, the head of the Blue Dragon Gang, has become the soul of Nanjian's sword! So who will those two people who come to the inn now?

"Not good!" Nanjian exclaimed in a low voice, "The people of the Blue Dragon Gang have arrived early. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took the old man Jiang Yiming and his granddaughter Jiang Xiuxiu to the low wall across the street and hid.

It didn't take long for them to see three people coming out of the inn, and the one walking in the front was You Haitao, the leader of the Green Dragon Gang with fat heads and big ears, and the young man walking behind him was the flying knife man with high cheekbones and a wide face they met when they escaped from the back door of the Blue Dragon Gang just now.

Walking behind them was Zhang Jincai, the owner of the Kuaiyi Lin Inn, who was full of spring breeze and smiled, fully embodying the enthusiasm and diligence of a businessman.

Because there is only one street apart, and it is quiet in the dead of night, therefore, at that moment, what the other party said was clearly heard by the three people here.

"If there is any news about them, please ask Boss Zhang to tell us immediately!" You Haitao, the leader of the Qinglong Gang who was at the forefront, said in a proud tone.

"That's for sure!" Zhang Jincai said respectfully as he followed them out of the inn door.

"Remember, don't startle the snake!" said the knifeman with high cheekbones, as he untied his white horse with black spots from the tying stone.

"Don't worry, two masters!" Zhang Jincai, the innkeeper, said respectfully, "I know how to do things!" he said as he caught up, helped You Haitao, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, untie the reins of the brown horse, and respectfully handed it to him and said:

"As long as they dare to come to my inn, I will guarantee that they will not be able to escape the clutches of the two masters!"

You Haitao, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, took the reins, smiled on his fat face, patted his right shoulder, and said with a very satisfied expression:

"I hope Boss Zhang won't disappoint us!"

As he spoke, he held the saddle with both hands, stepped on the horse's pedal with his right foot, and climbed onto the horse's back as soon as he flipped over; when he had sat down, the young man who was riding the same horse also took the reins, sat down in the saddle, and was ready to open the road at any time, and he repeatedly said to Zhang Jincai, the innkeeper who was standing under the horse:

"Boss Zhang, that's it, wait for your good news!"

With that, he shook the reins, waved the whip in his right hand, and whipped lightly on the horse's stock, and the horse immediately sprang out toward the center of the street.

"Don't worry, two masters!" Zhang Jincai walked towards the figure of the two of them, and sent his last promise, "I must do what you order!"

When the backs of the two disappeared from sight, the street returned to tranquility, and the innkeeper Zhang Jincai's expression immediately calmed down; when he was calm, his expression was solemn and solemn, as if there was too much bitterness and sorrow hidden under the smiling face just now.

He looked up leisurely, looking at the waning moon hanging on the ridge of the opposite roof, and his face seemed to be paler than the moonlight, and suddenly he sighed deeply, and said:

"The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!"

"Heroes are obscure, there must be heartfelt songs!" Suddenly, he was taken aback when he heard someone beside him say this. Therefore, blurted out:

"That friend is talking?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Nan Jian stand up from the low wall opposite and come over, he hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was staring or peeping, so his expression relaxed, and he asked with a smile on his face:

"Nan Shaoxia, don't come unharmed, how about going to the Blue Dragon Gang here?"

"It's a big gain!" Nan Jian said lightly, "Especially, I met a good friend who shares the same heart!"

"Oh, where is this good friend now?" Zhang Jincai asked with a grin.

"It's close in front of you, but it's far away in the sky!" Nan Jian still said lightly.

When Zhang Jincai heard this, he laughed, but he didn't ask or answer anymore. Seeing this, Nan Jian said:

"Looking at today's situation, Boss Zhang doesn't plan to let me in again!"

"I'm sorry, Nan Shaoxia!" he said with a grin, completely embodying the perfunctory skills of a businessman, "At this time, the inn is already full!"

"Isn't it, it's not possible to go in and have a glass of wine?" Nan Jian still asked lightly.

"Yes," the other party said, "I'm really sorry Nan Shaoxia, this inn has always forbidden guests to drink late at night. ”

"Since that's the case, then I won't trouble you!" Nanjian said, turning around and leaving.

Seeing him, after walking more than a dozen steps away, Zhang Jincai suddenly stopped him again and asked:

"Nan Shaoxia, what do you really mean when you just said that it is close in front of you and far away in the sky?"

"You know what I know, why do you have to say more!" Nanjian stopped and said, but did not look back.

"Then please wait a minute!" Zhang Jincai looked around vigilantly again, but still there was no half of a figure, so he walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Thank you!" After listening to his whisper, Nan Jian still said two words lightly, and walked forward without looking back.

Zhang Jincai also immediately walked back to the inn, they were strangers, and they didn't even say a polite word like goodbye!

The streets were as silent as death again, but the eastern canopy of heaven had already shown a blue morning color, and the sun would soon raise its head from there!
