The shopkeeper's feet were very quick, so he packed up a bag of steaming dry food, sliced marinated meat, and sandwiched it thickly. The pot was filled with rice wine that quenched the cold and quenched his thirst. He trotted all the way to the man's side. He whispered, "Guest officer, guest officer."
The man just closed his eyes, as if he hadn't heard it.
"Hey," the young girl at the same table finally couldn't help but said, "Don't push, he's bleeding a lot, I can smell it, look, he may have fainted."
This girl was Li Yan. She was a playful person three years ago, and she insisted on following Zhou Fei and the others to leave home without permission. Even if Zhou Yitang escorted her back, she was beaten by the big boss.
Li Yan was favored since she was a child, and basically had no experience of being beaten. Unexpectedly, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she had a big belly. little disciple.
Since then, Li Yan finally used a little snack in her martial arts practice. At the beginning of the year, she finally got her exit token with the achievement of four paper flowers in Xiushan Hall.
This is the first time that Li Yan has gone out to do business in an open and honest way. Together with Li Sheng, she wants to walk all the way from west to east for Li Jinrong, which is a routine "checking the pulse" in the village. This is a rule that came only after the large-scale occupation of the Forty-eight Villages a few years ago. The first sent a batch of letters in the village, and sent a few disciples. Following the letter route, the secret visit to the hidden piles, the people who "take the pulse" do not have to show up, only When they need to pass through each place, they hover for a few days, and they will leave if they go, and they can leave when they see nothing out of the ordinary.
Li Yan and the others went straight into the East China Sea, and Jinan Mansion happened to be the last stop.
Even for Zhou Fei and Li Sheng, the first time they went out, it was just a follower task—although the nature changed by chance—Li Yan basically just followed Li Sheng’s familiar route this time, except for giving her brother a few reprimands. , don't worry about anything.
Unexpectedly, he was just outside the city. Li Sheng didn't know what he saw, so he raised his leg and went to chase. He just explained to her in a hurry and told her to wait in the Fortune Inn.
Li Sheng's original intention was to send herself to a small inn less than half a mile away to eat a bowl of noodles, and she would go back when she went there. Who knows that Li Yan has never left the village since she was a child, except for the one time she was taken away by Yang Jin. The middle-aged elders and elder brothers and sisters were suddenly left behind by a person, like a canary that came out of the cage for the first time in their life - I wish I could immediately flutter their wings and go to the sky to celebrate, and I was vaguely uneasy, so I tried my best to pretend to be experienced in the world. With a calm appearance, he regards the small Hongyun Inn in Jinan as a place for adventure.
And she really thinks what to do, but the scene of eating a bowl of noodles, actually had an "accident".
Dian Xiao Er listened to her words, jumped in shock, and cautiously reached out and shook the man, seeing his face pale and his lips turning blue, it was really bad. With this shaking, his arm around his waist fell off, and there was a smell of blood coming from his waist and abdomen. After a closer look, the blood had soaked the black clothes a little, and the injury was not light.
The shop clerk was quite troubled and didn't know what to do, so he turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the Fortune Inn is a little old man, with an abacus in his hand, his eyes are really bright and restrained, and he is a master of the house.
The shopkeeper rushed to the shop's second and nodded, and another running hall stepped forward, wanting to step up to help and drag the man down.
At this moment, a sharp horse neigh suddenly came from outside the inn. There seemed to be a large group of people rushing in in the rain.
Li Yan suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of ominous premonition, and bowed her head in a hurry, three mouthfuls poured the rest of the noodle soup into her stomach. Before she had time to wipe her mouth clean, she saw several men in black with hats on their heads strutting in. The first one had long arms, held a token expressionlessly, and showed it to the hall arrogantly. Everyone sees.
Li Yan's ears were very sharp, and she heard several low-pitched gasps in an instant, and someone in the distance whispered: "My mother, why is the Big Dipper here!"
Li Yan opened her eyes.
The token opened the way, followed by several Beidou men in black, who filed in and stood in two columns.
A middle-aged man walked in slowly, followed by a man in black respectfully holding an umbrella for him. Go straight to the court.
Li Yan has seen two of the four existing Big Dippers, but when she heard that Shen Tianshu is a one-armed man who is described as withered, and his image does not match the middle-aged man like this official master, she thought to herself: "Could it be Beidou's 'Wuqu'? 'Tong Kaiyang?"
As soon as this group of people came in, there was silence in the inn.
The shopkeeper of the walking gang didn't care about pretending to be behind the counter with an abacus, he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd in three and two steps, stepped forward, and bowed to the tunnel: "My lord, the grass people are doing small business. There is no violation of law or discipline, and what should have been donated has been donated early, and it has never been in arrears.
The middle-aged man in the red robe glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why, we can't live in a hotel if we have nothing to do?"
The shopkeeper showed a little cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Naturally, naturally, as long as the officials don't dislike our small shop... Hey, come here..."
"No need." The man in the official robe waved his hand, and said with a face on the official floor, "Beidou arrests the imperial court prisoners, and the idle people retreat, and those who get in the way are treated as accomplices!"
When Li Yan heard the word "imperial criminal", she immediately thought of the injury on the waist of the strange guest in front of her. She didn't have time to think about it. Relying on her hiding in the corner, she was blocked by a group of people. He poured the cold water for rinsing the bowls and chopsticks, flipped his wrist, and poured half a cup of cold water onto the man's face without wasting a drop.
The seriously injured man had been chased and killed for a long time, but the moment he was thrown awake, he was awake, and his eyes were like torches.
At the same time, the red-robed man shouted, "Take it!"
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and then she saw the seriously injured man suddenly turn over, the heavy sword lay across his chest, and with a "choking" sound, it swept across the chest of the first Beidou, who rushed up. He was rarely fancy. It was true that the tricks did not fail, and he rushed upstream from the Big Dipper, looking unparalleled, and rushed to the door in a blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man in the red official robe shouted, "Trash!"
After that, he didn't see much movement, and the figure flashed, and he somehow arrived at the door. The fancy saber in his hand was a little wider than the palm of an ordinary man, and he rolled over like a poisonous snake to the seriously injured man.
The injured man did not dare to take it hard, so he had to step back. The red official robe sneered and handed out three swords in succession. One move was as fast as one move, and the hem of his robe sleeves didn't move at all. People were forced back to the inn.
At this time, the people in the inn were already scared and fled, and there were messy cups and plates everywhere, and a large space was immediately vacated in the lobby that seemed to be full.
The Big Dippers formed a well-trained circle, trapping the seriously wounded man in the middle.
The seriously injured man was clearly at the end of his streak, and he involuntarily stretched out his hand to press the wound on his waist, gasping for breath.
The red official robe said: "Liu Youliang, Your Majesty treats you well, is that how you eat inside and out?"
Li Yan thought: "So this person is called 'Liu Youliang'."
She vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, and she thought that someone had mentioned it on the road, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Fortunately, although Li Yan's memory is not very good, her ear is good. She heard the well-informed person whisper: "Which Liu Youliang? Isn't that Liu Youliang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army? This is really strange, why is this high official? Is it a criminal offender by the imperial court?"
Someone next to him made a "shush", and after the "shh", he couldn't hold back, and continued, "Why not, you forgot the 'General Zhongwu' surnamed Wu?"
The rustling autumn wind poured into the inn along the open door of the inn, blowing chills.
Liu Youliang's cold sweat dripped down his wet temples, his lips trembled, but he didn't answer.
The red official robe swept the eyes of the ignorant watchers in the entire inn, and smiled meaningfully: "I know that Commander Liu is soft-hearted, and if it is important, he will not say it here, otherwise it will not hurt the innocent people of this inn. people?"
Li Yan didn't realize the implication of these words for a while, but the face of the old Jianghu in the seat changed quietly - Beidou chased and killed Liu Youliang all the way, apart from what he did, it must be because he knew some important secrets. The man in red is threatening him. If he utters a word, no matter whether the people here hear it or not, the Big Dipper will be killed!
Liu Youliang was panting like a broken bellows, and he could hear murmurs coming from his lungs.
The red-robed man sighed and persuaded, "Don't be stubborn and resist."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Youliang suddenly moved forward with his sword, and his epee shot straight at the face of the red-robed man like a meteor chasing the moon.
The old shopkeeper of Fortune Inn saw that it was difficult to do good, and hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hands: "VIP! Two distinguished guests, please do your best, don't try to do it in the store."
The red-robed man said lightly, "I pay you for that pile of tables, chairs and benches cut from rotten wood, old things, none of your business, get out of the way!"
Seeing that Liu Youliang was forced to vomit blood by the red-robed man like a cat playing a mouse, Li Yan subconsciously touched the knife pinned to her waist and said to herself, "If A Fei is here, she is sure not to watch by the side. ."
This thought flashed by, and Li Yan quietly pushed the knife away.
But then, she wilted again. The man in red was too high in martial arts. With Li Yan's eyesight, she couldn't even see how tall he was, let alone meddle in his own business.
The people around were all shunned, and Li Yan pushed the half-inch knife and stopped again, hesitantly changed her mind: "If Li Quede knew that I dared to take care of such nosy things, I would definitely be angry. Toad... and what am I supposed to do?"
Just as Li Yan was hesitating, suddenly, the old shopkeeper who was still begging for mercy abruptly stepped forward and took out a nunchaku from his bosom!
With a soft sound, the nunchaku came out of the sky and hung precisely between the swords of the red-robed man and Liu Youliang. They spun in the air and stopped the movements of the two for a short time.
The red-robed man said angrily, "Old man, how dare you!"
With a flick of his sleeves, he easily threw off the shopkeeper's nunchaku, the shriveled old man turned to one side, stood beside Liu Youliang, and said in a low voice, "This guest has a token from my door on him, see this thing. The guest must obey his orders, the guests are benevolent and unwilling to send, but the younger ones can’t just watch him and stand by. Master Tong, please forgive me.”
The man in red robe was indeed Tong Kaiyang, and he said sullenly, "I know who I am to dare to be so presumptuous, old man, I think you don't want to open this inn."
Liu Youliang said in a low voice, "Treasurer, you don't have to..."
Hongyun Inn is the largest inn in the area. Because the guys in the store are quick and sweet, there are quite a few signature dishes. In recent years, it has become quite famous among the tourists, and it has become a scene in Jinan Prefecture, an ordinary river and lake. Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, but they have passed by affecting such a large industry - this is also the reason why Liu Youliang passed by here, but only settled down, and did not seek shelter from the gang.
The shopkeeper carried the nunchucks and said with a smile, "The purpose of opening a shop for the young ones is to provide convenience for your friends to run errands, and other things are just incidental. Now that the 'Sky Bat Order' has reappeared, we are afraid of trouble because of the industry. Back off, wouldn't the cart be upside down?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Youliang to stop him, the shopkeeper said: "My friends, I'm sorry, the shop is closed for one day today, a drink and a meal are considered as a dinner for the little old man, and there is no need to spend money. Find a place to live!"
Everyone was stunned that the heroes were not born. At this time, when they saw the shopkeeper smashing pots and selling iron and the Beidou martial arts, they didn't say a word, and they all wrapped up and left, but Li Yan hesitated, feeling for a while that she She was born in a prestigious family and has martial arts skills, so she is naturally different from those businessmen. It would be too bad to leave like this. For a while, I thought that Li Sheng would ask her to wait at the Fortune Inn. If she left, her eldest brother would not be able to find anyone here. , I must be even more anxious when I meet Beidou and others.
Li Yan took the knife and walked out of the Fortune Inn along the flow of people, but she didn't walk as far as the others. When she rolled her eyes, Li Yan climbed up a big tree and hid herself behind the shadows.
Tong Kaiyang said: "Okay, are you going to help? If you don't go on the road, you have to go to the gate of hell!"
As he spoke, the sound of horses’ hooves and footsteps approached the door one after another, and he could hear the exclamations of the slow-moving guests. There were as many as 180 Beidou men in black. The heavy rain stopped at some point. It was still gloomy and muddy, and the entire city of Jinan was in a state of misery.
The guys at Fortune Inn fought against the Big Dipper Man in Black.
The guys are all skilled in martial arts, but their aptitudes are mixed. After all, such a hard-born Jianghu sect is no match for the well-trained Beidou men in black, not to mention that there are many Beidou people, except for a few masters. Outside of living, everyone else is basically a man's arm and a car.
The shopkeeper whistled and surrounded Tong Kaiyang with a few people. Without looking back, he said to Liu Youliang, "Lord Liu, hurry up!"
Liu Youliang was hesitating, and the shopkeeper said again, "Your Excellency does not hesitate to reveal the order of the bat, there must be something important that you can sacrifice your life for, so what's the delay!"
When Liu Youliang heard this, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and suddenly clenched his fists: "Brother, we meet by chance, and I don't thank you very much."
A fleeting smile appeared on the shopkeeper's shriveled face. Liu Youliang let out a long whistle, exited the station circle, swept his epee, and slashed seven or eight men in black in a row, smashing a bloody path and breaking out of the encirclement.
This action must have taken a lot of energy. When he left the inn, his footsteps were already staggering, and a whistle called for his horse, and he shouted "Drive" reluctantly. Four or five Big Dippers rushed up, Liu Youliang swept two epee swords, and the pain in his waist was so severe that he couldn't turn his hand over for a while. At this moment, he heard two grunts, and the remaining Big Dippers were covering themselves. face turned away.
Liu Youliang didn't have time to think about who was helping him, so he galloped away.
Just now, he fled outside the city, but Liu Youliang's eyes were blurred. He was crouching on the horse's back but struggling to support him. He bit the tip of his tongue, trying to regain his senses. Suddenly, the galloping horse screamed and knelt down on its front legs. The man on his back was thrown out—there was a stumbling line on the ground.
Liu Youliang's fall was no trivial matter. His eyes turned black, and he struggled on the ground several times but failed to get up. The man in black who was lying in ambush had already surrounded him.
Suddenly, a big tree branch covered with rain fell from the sky and swept in a circle. The eyes of the men in black were suddenly disturbed, and they were taken aback. Before they could react, a long knife had passed from The tree branch appeared afterward, and the people who came unexpectedly knocked down three or four men in black one after another. At the same time, Liu Youliang finally shouted and desperately climbed up.
This rescuer who fell from the sky was Li Yan. When she was watching the changes outside the Fortune Inn, she saw Liu Youliang escape and followed him all the way. At this time, Li Yan was carrying a knife and a tree bigger than her in the other. Jizi swayed wildly, creating the illusion that he was very tall and big, and took advantage of the gap to say to Liu Youliang, "Uncle, run!"
Liu Youliang didn't expect such a young girl to shoot, and was a little surprised, but before he could react, he saw the leading Big Dipper whistling high and low, and countless black figures rushed out from the sides of the road.
Li Yan: "…"
So many people, it's over.
She had no choice, she gritted her teeth, threw the big tree branch aside, took a deep breath, held the long knife in both hands, and said to herself, "If only Fei could possess me."
Zhou Fei hadn't mastered the skills of such a fox spirit, but the Big Dippers had already rushed up.
Just when Li Dazhuang thought he was about to kill himself, Beidou's formation suddenly became chaotic. He saw another horse rushed over. The horseman was holding two swords, and his shot was extremely accurate. Going to Li Yan, he yelled at her, "Li Dazhuang!"
Li Yan let out a small white tooth who was happy and guilty.
Li Sheng didn't expect that if she walked on the front foot, she would be able to make such a big disaster on the back foot. Afterwards, she was so terrified that she could not leave any room for the shot. He summoned his horse and reached out to help Liu Youliang: "Uncle, the horse is given to you, I have my brother!"
Li Sheng:"… "
This prodigal girl is so generous to others.
He didn't want to fight for a long time, so he killed a group of men in black, picked up Li Yan's shoulders, dragged her onto his horse, and blew a whistle, Li Yan's horse quickly followed with Liu Youliang on his back.
Suddenly, there was a long howl not far away, which made people feel stuffy in the chest, Li Yan shook and almost fell off the horse.
They saw a figure in red with a few ups and downs before coming to them: "Where is the holy and meddling?"
