Lian Dong saw Qin Chuan, immediately got up to meet him, took the lead and knelt down, and said loudly: "The subordinate Shandong helm Lian Dong and the brothers under the seat, see the helper!" Everyone knelt down at the time.

Qin Chuan hurriedly helped Lian Dong up, and said, "Brother Lian is exempt, brothers, please get up and speak!" When Lian Dong stood up, everyone stood up.

Lian Dong bowed to Qin Chuan and said, "Qiyu Gang Master, my subordinates have been investigating the news of the thieves of the Heavenly Dao Alliance for several days, but I don't know that the gang leader is coming, I am not welcome, and I beg for forgiveness!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "The helmsman is for official business, what is the crime?, but I don't know where the thief of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is now?" Lian Dong hesitated for a moment, turned around and waved his hand to everyone, and ordered: "Everyone is waiting around the store, strictly waiting, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter, just say that the inn is chartered today!" Everyone responded violently and dispersed.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Lian Helmsman, if you do this, you can get the approval of the shopkeeper here!"

Lian Dong Ha said with a smile: "I don't know why, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er have abandoned the store overnight, I don't know what happened, and the customers in the store are all gone before dawn, and now only the people in this gang are here, please don't worry about it." Qin Chuan remembered that last night Qin Hai's slashing thief "Crazy Bee Wave Butterfly" rushed and stabbed the "Jade-faced Flower Butterfly" Xue Qianyang, and suddenly his heart suddenly changed: "It must be that all the guests and the shopkeeper saw that there was a death in the store, and they had the same idea as the shopkeeper of Naxia, and they had already slipped away." ”

He swept his gaze around and asked, "What about Elder Deng?"

Lian Dong said, "Elder Deng has gone to visit Brother Huang Bao's injuries. Qin Chuan groaned: "Brother Huang was injured to help me, I have to go and see it first!"

When the two of them arrived at the guest room where Huang Bao was staying, they saw him lying on the bed, and Elder Deng and Zhu Bo were examining his injuries.

Deng and Zhu bowed to Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan asked about Huang Bao's injury, and Elder Deng said, "Fortunately, with the helper's golden medicine, Huang Bao is no longer in trouble. How much has the helper's internal injuries recovered?"

Qin Chuan sighed: "Only less than thirty percent of the recovery, otherwise how can Hua Yong escape?"

Elder Deng asked about last night. Qin Chuan said the truth, and then talked about the trip to Tsing Yi Nunnery. Thinking of the second brother Qin Hai being poisoned by the "rose fragrance", he couldn't help but feel worried.

Elder Deng frowned and said, "Hua Yong's lewd thief is simply inferior to a beast, and he doesn't even let go of the monks!" He turned to Lian Dong and said: "Lian Helmsman, you give the order to go down and quickly search for the whereabouts of Hua Yong and Xue Qianyang, as soon as there is news of the two thieves, report it immediately!" Lian Dong bowed down and responded: "The subordinates obey the order!" Elder Deng said again: "Three butterflies are killed and injured, it is not a problem, but the second son of Qin has been poisoned by the 'rose fragrance dew', and people must not find it." The antidote is indispensable!"

When he said this, he bowed to Qin Chuan and said, "Helper, what do you think of the subordinate arrangement?" Qin Chuan saw that he was well distributed, and the poison of the 'rose fragrance dew' in Qin Hai was expected to be lifted, and he was also very satisfied, and nodded: "Elder Deng is worthy of being the think tank of this gang, think about Zhou Xiang, just do it!"

Lian Dong saw that Qin Chuan had no objection. That's when he went out to give the order.

Qin Chuan asked about the meeting between Elder Deng and Lian Dong last night, and Elder Deng said, "When my subordinates rushed to the wheat field eight miles west of Zhenxi last night, the helmsman was leading his brothers to fight with more than 30 dog thieves from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and there were casualties on both sides. Subordinates stepped forward to help. Only then did he barely repel the thieves. Gang leader, I didn't expect that the person who led the group of thieves this time was actually the infamous 'Hanzhong Double Bee' enemy brother!"

Qin Chuan remembered Xiao Qian's death, and thought that it was indeed the double bees that had arrived, so he nodded. He asked, "Do the elders know where they are now?"

Elder Deng shook his head and sighed: "The subordinates are incompetent, the thieves are cunning and abnormal, and all the disciples can't find them. According to the speculation of his subordinates, most of the Hanzhong Twin Bees went to Mount Tai!"

Qin Chuan thought of Mu Xu, Gu Xu, and the others of the Taishan Sect who had all returned to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and although they had been killed, most of their disciples had also rebelled, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and secretly thought: "Why didn't Elder Deng tell me the news that Xiao Qian said, did he not believe me or didn't want me to worry about it?" But if the news was true, Yumei and Elder Wu would definitely fall into the hands of the double bees. The more I thought about it, the more surprised I became, and I thought: "Since Elder Deng doesn't say it, I shouldn't mention it for the time being, anyway, let's talk about it in Tai'an County!"

He saw that Huang Bao was no longer harmed, and thought: "The husband should be public before private." Although I am anxious to help my second brother, the matter of the Baixi Gang is also urgent. Since Elder Deng and the Lian Helmsman have already found the second brother and the antidote for me, I can't delay any longer, it's better to help!"

At this time, Lian Dong reported that he had already handed down an order to assign people to track down the whereabouts of "Erdie".

Qin Chuan heard Lian Dong say that he had never seen Tao Ping, Yi Wanyu, Elder Wu and others, so he couldn't help but gasp, pondered for a moment, and said: "That day, I discussed with Tao, Han, Zhao, and Sang in the woods outside the Shengquan Temple in Xiao County with the four helmsmen to help them, and asked the Tao helmsman to contact the helmsman first, and meet at the largest inn in Tai'an City ten days later. Supposedly he should have arrived first, why didn't he see anyone for a long time? Could it be that the Tao Duo Master had an accident?"

Lian Dong stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, blaming himself: "Damn! It's all because his subordinates are tired of dealing with the 'Hanzhong Double Bee' and failed to contact Tao Duo Master and them in time!"

Qin Chuan was shocked, pinched his fingers, and said: "Today is the ten-day period that I have agreed with Tao and Sang, the two helmsmen, let's rush to the largest inn in Tai'an as soon as possible, and we may find out soon! Without further ado, let's go quickly!"

In the afternoon, everyone arrived in the city of Detaian. On the way, the building has been made clear to Qinchuan, and the largest inn in Tai'an City is the "Yuanfeng Inn" located in the west street of the county seat.

Lian Dong asked for a few upper rooms to settle everyone. Qin Chuan, Deng and Lian asked the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper if Tao, Yi, Wu and others had come to this store, but to no avail.

Qin Chuan remembered that the shopkeeper Xia in Bianyuan Town was unbearable to be intimidated by the characters in the rivers and lakes and abandoned his business, and thought that most of the words of the shopkeeper here were not to be believed, but he was not too much, and after drinking and eating, he said to Deng and Lian: "Let's wait here, I want to come to Tao and Sang, and there is something to delay on the way." You don't need to disturb the shop anymore, when they arrive, they will come to see us! In addition, continue to send all the disciples to the neighborhood to inquire about the news. ”

Elder Deng and Lian Dong immediately passed on the order of the gang leader, sent people widely, and went around to find out the news of Tao Ping, Yi Wanyu, Sang Qinghong and others, and tried to find Qin Hai's whereabouts.

When the license was not issued, Qin Chuan breathed, lucked, breathed, and carried in the guest room, practiced qi and pranayama, and practiced exercises for a small week. When I woke up, I felt that the true qi was flowing all over my body. Refreshed.

Mu Qinglan had been silently supporting him, and suddenly saw him slowly open his eyes with a smile on his face. Surprised and delighted, she got up and poured him a cup of hot tea and asked, "How much strength has you recovered?"

Qin Chuan took the teacup, sipped the tea slowly, and said with a smile: "With Sister Lan protecting the Fa for me, how can it go well, I feel that the qi veins are running smoothly, and I think it's almost over." Mu Qinglan knew the severity of his injuries. If there was no elixir, it would never be possible to recover so quickly, and his mind moved, and he smiled like a flower, and said happily: "Could it be the merit of the 'Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill'?" Qin Chuan nodded, blinked, and showed a naughty look.

Mu Qinglan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but hold his hand, and her smile was more like a spring flower. Infinite beauty.

Qin Chuan groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, there is nothing to do left and right, it is better to go out for a walk together." How about enjoying the scenery of Tai'an?" Mu Qinglan smiled softly and nodded: "Okay!"

The two pushed the door open and walked out. At this time, Zhu Bo and the other three Baixi Gang disciples under the corridor were chatting, and when they saw Qin Chuan coming out, they immediately bowed their hands and stood solemnly.

Qin Chuan knew that Lian Dong arranged to protect himself. The characters in the store are very mixed, and it is inconvenient to disclose their identities, so they nod their heads at the moment. asked: "Uncle Deng is not there?" Zhu Bo said: "Lian Gongzi came to find Uncle Deng and was talking about things in his room!" This is the custom of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, when they go out, they are all referred to as "son" and "uncle", and no longer call "helper" and "elder".

Qin Chuan and Mu Qinglan followed Zhu Bo to Elder Deng's room. Zhu Bo knocked on the door four times and coughed: "Uncle Deng, Gongzi Qin is here!"

In the house, Deng and Lian were drinking tea and talking. Qin Chuan said: "Brother Deng, Brother Lian, I don't think I have a clue for the time being, there is nothing to do, I want to accompany Miss Mu to the city for a casual walk, do you want to go together?"

Elder Deng shook his head and smiled: "Let's wait for news in the store, so we won't bother you two!" Lian Dong also smiled: "The helper has a beautiful woman like Miss Mu as a companion, and he travels hand in hand, before and under the moon, what a pleasure is that? Now let others follow, what will it look like? According to my subordinates, Elder Deng and I are still more interesting, so we won't disturb the two of you!"

The three of them laughed. Mu Qinglan's face flushed, and she lowered her head and was silent.

The north of the city of Tai'an is built according to Mount Tai of Dongyue, the mountain cities are connected, and there is an endless stream of people who come and go. Qin and Mu wandered around the city together, but they saw that it was bustling, and the streets were very lively.

Under the slanting sun, looking at the peaks of Daizong in the distance is solemn and solemn, and the clouds are steaming, which is fascinating.

The two walked hand in hand, walking everywhere.

Before I knew it, I came to a side street. Mu Qinglan looked around and said in a low voice: "Brother Chuan, you may not be able to have clues like this!" Qin Chuan was stunned and said, "What did you say?"

Mu Qinglan straightened her hair that had been blown away by the mountain wind, and said with a smile: "You can't stop looking around along the way, you are absent-minded, and you want to inquire about the clues of Tao Duo Master, Yumei and your second brother." It's just that if you alone want to find someone in the huge Tai'an County, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get results. ”

Seeing Qin Chuan staring at her, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm thinking about the past two days, if what that little money said to you is true, Yumei was picked up, Elder Wu was followed, etc., Elder Deng naturally already knew." You think he's suspicious of you, and he doesn't want to alarm them anymore, so he wants to go out and find out alone, don't you?"

Qin Chuan nodded and sighed, "This matter is indeed puzzling. If Elder Deng didn't doubt me, why didn't he tell me what Xiao Qian said? Can I still believe the words of Shopkeeper Xia? I don't know what to do, and I can't be suspicious of people, so I have to follow what my eldest brother and Yumei taught, don't panic in case of trouble, and respond to all changes without change. ”

Mu Qinglan took his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Chuan, your idea is not unreasonable. Until things are clear, it's a good idea to 'adapt to change'. Brother Chuan, you come with me!"

Out of the city gate, and stroll for a while, the mountain road is rugged, gradually getting higher, and the people on the ridge are getting thinner.

The two walked side by side, pointing out the scenery, whispering, and unconsciously arrived at a small mountain at the southern foot of Mount Tai.

Mu Qinglan stood still and looked over. Qin Chuanqi said: "Sister Lan, what are you pulling me here for? Do you want to go to Mount Tai, this is a small mountain?" Mu Qinglan looked around and said: "Brother Chuan, there are many eyes and ears in the city, maybe there are undercover agents who are secretly following you." Now it's just you and me, you can talk about the events of the past few days carefully, and we'll have a total of them. ”

As he spoke, he took him by the hand and sat down next to him on a large rock on the top of the mountain.

Qin Chuan told him about the two days of finding out about the Xia shopkeeper, Xiao Qian, three butterflies, silence and so on. Mu Qinglan heard him say that Hua Yong wanted to rape the nun quietly, and lowered her head with a red face.

Qin Chuan finished speaking. looked sideways at Mu Qinglan and said, "Sister Lan, where do you say my second brother will go?"

Mu Qinglan frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to help Qin Chuan straighten her hair and clothes that were blown by the wind, and said slowly: "Brother Chuan, your second brother was poisoned, and he hugged the woman surnamed Lu, so naturally he couldn't go far." I guess he probably went to a medical clinic in Tai'an City. ”

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Sister Lan is really smart and careful. Bianyuan Town is not far from Tai'an, and the second brother was poisoned. If you want to wake up Lu Qiuniang, you naturally have to come to the city to seek medical treatment!"

jumped up at the moment, and was about to go to find Qin Hai. Mu Qinglan shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and said faintly: "You are really impatient!"

Qin Chuan said: "I haven't seen my second brother for many years, I missed it last night, and now he has been poisoned again, how can I, as a younger brother, not be in a hurry?"

Mu Qinglan smiled lightly. said: "Brother Chuan, when your brother meets, you don't have to be in a hurry. Have you ever thought that 'Ludong Three Butterflies' is very likely to have gone to the hospital as well?"

Qin Chuan was stunned again. Stretched out his hand and snorted on the corner of his forehead, and shouted: "Stupid, stupid! Why can't I think of it?" Xue Qianyang was injured by his two brothers, and Hua Yong left Tsing Yi Nunnery. I'll try to get a doctor for him.

Mu Qinglan smiled coquettishly, stretched out her hand to sweep her hair flying in the wind, and looked at him sideways.

Qin Chuan turned his head to look at Mu Qinglan. Under the reflection of the slanting sun, I saw her face like a spring flower blooming, smiling and smiling, under a closer look, more and more clear and beautiful, beautiful and indescribable, all of a sudden, his chest was full of happiness, gently held her hand, and sighed: "Sister Lan, you are so understanding, you know me and comfort me, alas, having you by my side is really a good blessing that I cultivated in my previous life!"

Mu Qinglan heard him say solemnly, slowly leaned on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Chuan, there is one more thing I haven't figured out yet, I'm just afraid that I have wronged a good person!" Qin Chuan was startled, looked at her face, and asked, "You mean Elder Deng?" Mu Qinglan's face was surprised, and she asked rhetorically, "Why do you suspect Elder Deng?"

Qin Chuan sighed: "I don't know what to do, I just think it's a little weird." Mu Qinglan said: "Brother Chuan, if Elder Deng is afraid that your internal injuries have not healed and he doesn't want you to worry too much, so he won't tell you what Xiao Qian said, but what?" Qin Chuan was stunned, scratched his scalp, and said, "Then which one do you suspect?"

Mu Qinglan frowned slightly, and said, "Actually, since Master came to report the news, I have also suspected Elder Deng, because he was captured by my father, and it is very likely that he has taken refuge in my father." Qin Chuan sighed, shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't believe that Elder Deng will be this kind of person. ”

Mu Qinglan shook her head and said, "But everything is just speculation, how can it be taken seriously?" sighed lightly, and said: "But the helmsman and Yumei of Bianyuan Town were picked up by the people of Tsing Yi, the 'Hanzhong Double Bee' appeared to kill Xiao Qian, and the helmsman encountered my father's subordinates, don't you think this series of things is a little strange?" Qin Chuan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "What is weird?" Mu Qinglan looked at him silently, her eyes were clear and bright, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

Qin Chuan's heart moved: "Yes, Lan Mei is hinting to me, with the cleverness of Yumei and the alertness of the Sang helm Lord, how can I easily let people pick her up? Unless it is my own people who pick her up! Since the Hanzhong Double Bee killed Xiao Qian in the town, how can they go to the wheat field eight miles west of the town to deal with the Shandong rudder? Could it be that the helmsman is suspicious?"

Thinking of this, he was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Are you suspicious of the helmsman?" shook his head and said: "Brother Lian and the Sang helmsman are loving lovers, and they are the proud henchmen of the old gang leader with Yumei and Zhao Jin, and they are also wealthy families, how can they do something to betray the gang and betray their friends, no!"

Mu Qinglan frowned slightly, and said, "Everything is just random speculation, and there is no real evidence." Brother Chuan, my father is a native of Jinan Prefecture, and the Shandong area is full of his power, and it seems that the Taishan faction has already surrendered. I think of Master's words when he was entrusted by others, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the Hundred Opera Gang, and you must be careful everywhere in your words and deeds after you return to the inn!" Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "As the leader of a gang, I want to be suspicious of my own people, doesn't it make the brothers in the gang cold?" (To be continued......)
