It all started nearly 20 days ago.

On that day, Shen Tianpeng and others experienced two fierce battles in Fenghuang Town, and after killing Shangguan Zhaoxiu and the chief commander of the "Red Bat", they escaped from Fenghuang Town overnight, crossed the Loushan Pass, and entered Qijiang County, Sichuan Province through the "Sichuan-Guizhou Key", and reached Chongqing Prefecture. Go all the way north along the Jialing Ancient Road, depending on the road conditions, the weather is rainy and sunny, the checkpoint is wide and strict, etc., or walking or riding, or casual clothes or makeup, or day and night or day and night...... Within a few days, they traveled to the center of Dingyuan County outside the ancient city.

Eight horses stopped, dismounted.

"Is General Li familiar with this place?" Shen Tianpeng asked, "Is there an inn suitable for me to stay?"

"I've walked through it a few times, and it's okay. Li Yulong replied, "This city is located on the side of the Jialing River, south of Hechuan, which we passed through, and then north is Nanchong. There are many palaces, temples, altars and ancestral halls in the city, and it is said that there are nine streets and eighteen lanes, nine palaces and eighteen temples. Everyone should pay attention to the fact that there are many Hui people here, and there are many differences between them and the Han people in terms of customs and habits, so it is best not to contact them without contact, so as not to cause trouble due to misunderstanding. There is a "Tianhe Inn" on the east street in the city by the river, which provides accommodation for merchants from the south to the north, although it is a little farther away from the central city, it is still quiet and elegant, and there is a stable that can place horses, I think it is more suitable for me and so on. ”

"Although it is only past noon, a little early before dusk, but in the past few days, in order to prevent accidents, I have been waiting day and night, saddle horses are tired, and there is little rest, but there is still a long way to go, I think we will rest here, stay overnight, and recuperate our spirits, how about tomorrow and then hurry?" Shen Tianpeng asked.

"I think it's very good, the aunt and nephew of the Deng family and Li Shaoxia also need to rest for a while to replenish their strength. Zhang Huaizhong praised. There was no objection.

"Then please ask General Li to arrange it!"

"Yes, my lord!" Li Yulong said obediently, "In order to avoid suspicion when many people enter the city together, I will divide it into two groups: I will go to the front station with my insider, the prince of the north gate and Zishan, and settle everything at the inn. Half an hour after we entered the city, the dog Xiaolin brought Lord Shen and others to follow. Xiaolin, do you remember to take the road of 'Tianhe Inn'!"

"Of course I remember, don't worry, Dad, you can't be wrong!"

"Listen to Lord Shen, don't make a mistake!"

"Hey, Dad, what you said is not right, I am leading the way, it's not that I want to listen to Brother Shen, it's Brother Shen who wants to listen to me......"

"You...... a small ...... Rabbit Jack ......"

"Alright, General Li, it's okay, you guys go quickly. After Li Yulong and the others left, Shen Tianpeng smiled at Li Xiaolin again, "Brother Xiaolin, don't worry, we all listen to you." ”

"Really? Then I have a request: if I behave well, can you, Second Brother Yue, and Third Brother Beimen take me as an apprentice, and I want to worship the third elder brother as a teacher?"

"This ...... Well, I'm fine, second brother, what about you?" Shen Tianpeng asked Yue Haikun.

"Big brother has agreed, how can I say no?" Along the way, Yue Haikun has acquiesced to this "little brother" who is smart, lively and clever but not stubborn and naughty.

"Thank you to the two masters for your success, and the apprentice will kneel and thank you!" Li Xiaolin said, kneeling and saluting. The little one is very clever and immediately seizes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and does not let go.
