"Five rooms, that's enough. The boss can set up a camp for us. Also, can we provide food?" The young man took out a large silver coin and smiled at the boss.

Seeing the silver, the boss, whose eyes widened immediately, nodded hurriedly, then walked into the station and shouted, "Zhuzi! Here comes the guest!"

"Hey! Here we come!" Zhu Zi put the cloth towel on his shoulders, answered and walked out. When he saw a crowd of people outside, he was stunned, and then he turned around and said, "Boss, we don't have that much to eat!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a pile of roe deer, pheasant, rabbit, black deer and other wild game were thrown in front of him.

"Just lend us the stove." A big man patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhu Zi swallowed his saliva, then looked at the group of men dressed in black, all of whom were extremely tough, and nodded sensibly.

"Dude, where is the room?" A man with extremely bright and beautiful eyes walked up to him and asked.

"Here, follow me, follow me." Zhu Zi turned sideways to lead the way, went up to the second floor of the inn, opened the door of the room, and saw a group of people walking into the hall downstairs, first two teenagers, one She is extremely beautiful but has no expression on her face. A tall man with solemn features is followed by a man who is more beautiful than a woman and helps a woman with a veiled hat. Startled, guessing that this person from an unknown family is actually bringing so many guards, but he must be careful in serving them. These people are all full of iron and blood, so it is not easy to want to be with them.

"Man, would you like to boil some hot water?" After those people entered the upper room, the man with extremely beautiful eyes stepped back and asked.

"Okay, there's hot water in the kitchen, I'll pick it up right away." Zhu Zi quickly nodded.

"No, you lead the way, let's go." The man smiled slightly.

The pillar responded, and took the man down. When he went to the kitchen at the back, he took a look outside the inn, and saw those men in black began to set up tents on the flat ground outside the inn. The skillful technique seemed to be a veteran. Asked: "Guest officer, where are you going? The Jinghu Road is not safe."

"Is Guangnan Road safe?" the man asked with a smile.

"Our land, the Central Plains people always say that we are a barren land, look now, they are in a mess, we are still alive here." Zhu Zi smiled, and then pointed to the kitchen behind which is dedicated to boiling hot water the stove, and said: "The hot water is here, the little one, go and have a look and eat?"

The man threw a piece of silver to him and said, "Lend us the stove, we can do it ourselves."

When the aristocratic family came out, they would bring their mother-in-law and servants by themselves, and they would cook their own food. Zhu Zi had met him a few times, so he was not very surprised, but he was only surprised when he saw that the person who was busy at the stove was a blond outsider. He asked, "Aren't you from the Xie family in Guangzhou?"

Several people in the kitchen glanced at him, and the man asked with a smile, "Why did you say that?"

"Hehe," Zhu Zi patted his head and laughed twice, and said, "This little brother is a fan outsider, is there any other family that can command a fan outsider besides Xie's in Guangzhou?"

"Really?" The man smiled even more intensely, and said, "The Xie family's reputation is really great."

"That's right, on Guangnan Road, who doesn't know Xie's family? I heard that in Huizhou, Duanzhou, Guangzhou, people only know that there is Xie's family, but they don't know that there is Tian's family." Zhu Zi laughed, then touched the man with his elbow, Asked: "Is the salary you get at Xie's family high?"

"Hehe." The man smiled without answering, and asked, "Do you have some special dishes here?"

"Brother Thirteen!" Before Zhuzi could answer, he saw the tall boy with regular features coming in a hurry, seeing Zhuzi, he asked, "Man, do you have any stone clams?"

"Ah?" Zhuzi was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Ah, stone clam, how do you know? I was just going to tell this little brother, this is our specialty here, the meat is tender and delicious, but our fresh meat Sold out."

"Where can I catch it?" The boy glanced at the kitchen and asked.

"It's not easy to catch. You have to stay in the mountain streams and streams in the old forest, and only come out when it's getting dark." Zhu Zi patted his head and said.

The boy looked at the sky and asked, "Where are the mountain streams and streams going?"

"It's a bit far away from us. If you want to go up the ridge, that's over there. If you go down there, there's no way there. It's dangerous!" Before the pillar finished speaking, the boy found two net bags from the kitchen, Then, together with the extremely beautiful young man who had been standing behind, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Let me make the soup first, Ye Fei picked a lot of mushrooms." Hearing that the blond boy spoke a standard big Zhou dialect, Zhu Zi's eyes widened in surprise, it really was the Xie family! I heard that the Xie family's private soldiers are very powerful, and even the other people are good at sex. It is true, but I don't know who that woman is? Is it the young master's concubine or Mr. Xie's concubine

"Man, go do your work." After being patted on the shoulder by the man, Zhu Zi came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Walking back to the lobby, seeing the guests in the lobby constantly looking out, he smiled and said: "Well, don't look, don't look, people from the Xie family."

"It's the Xie family? Why did people from the Xie family come here?"

"You don't know this, since the big storm sank the Xie family's boat nine years ago, the Xie family has not been able to get up for many years, but he is rich and did not go to sea, just in Huizhou, Guangzhou While buying land in patches, he has his own private soldiers, and the trade with the Central Plains is also doing well, and now he is the emperor of the land there."

"But this doesn't look like the Xie family's caravan?"

"Maybe they are Uncle Xie's family members? Do you know how many wives and concubines Uncle Xie has? When we came back, he was marrying his twenty-ninth concubine."

"Okay, eat and go to bed, don't mind other people's business."

There were three people in Tsing Yi sitting in the corner of the lobby, and they frowned when they heard the discussions in the lobby. The young man on the left pulled the chair a little, and asked the middle-aged man in the middle: "The people from the Xie family are here to do this at this time." What? Could it be that it is not good for the county king?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the Xie family and the county king have always kept the water in the well." The middle-aged man slowly turned the teacup in his hand, and said, "I don't think it's like the Xie family. The Xie family would be so polite. Family, we will not leave any place to eat here."

"That's right, they are very arrogant. They drove out all the people in this post station, and they will not camp outside." The young man on the right said.

"Whose family is that? Who else has such strength on Guangnan Road?" The young man asked excitedly.

"I'm afraid it's not from Guangnan Road, but from the north." The middle-aged man frowned and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "Could it be true what Mr. Zhu said, that the people over there are worried about the county king?"

There was a moment of silence on the table, and the young man twisted his buttocks and said anxiously: "Then let's go back and report to the county king?"

"Don't be impulsive, the first thing to do is to find out the reality of the Central Plains," the young man on the right said: "It seems that they don't have any malicious intentions, maybe they are just fleeing."

"If you're just fleeing, you won't just bring a female family member with you. This group of people is quite weird."

"Actually, I think what Mr. Zhu said is right. The king has no way, so naturally the virtuous live there. If the county king is willing to raise the banner, we have 50,000 troops in Yingzhou. It's a pity that the county king refused to listen to Jianguo on Guangnan Road, and locked up Mr. Zhu." The young man sighed in a low voice.

"Speak carefully!" The middle-aged man shouted in a low voice, then raised his head to look left and right, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, go back to your room."

The three of them threw some copper coins on the table and went upstairs. Not long after, a man came out from the dark corner of the wall, rubbed his chin, and went to the kitchen behind.

Yan Qi was applying medicine to Ling Qingyu's buttocks. After entering Chenzhou, they abandoned the carriage in order to go on the road. The whole road was a mountain road. Even though he was holding him and riding with him, Ling Qingyu's buttocks were still scratched and white and tender. A large area of red is extremely conspicuous.

It's all like this, and she still doesn't say a word this day. In the past, she would act like a baby with Yan San when she felt a little uncomfortable. After Yan San died, she became more tolerant. On that road, even this road, she never complained, which made Yan Qi feel a little pain in her heart. Although she knew that she didn't want to trouble them, and was more worried about his body, Yan Qi sincerely hoped that she could be like him. For Yan San who treated him like that, acting coquettishly and presumptuously without caring about anything.

"Master Qi," Ying Shisan brought in the hot water, closed the door, handed the bucket to Ye Fei, walked into the inner room, and said, "Mr. Zhu was locked up by King Ying'an."

"What?" Ling Qingyu, who was half asleep, got up and asked, "Where did you get the news?"

"Just now someone from King Ying'an said it, and Ying Qi heard it." Ying Shisan said, "Should I be arrested and interrogated?"

"En." Ling Qingyu nodded, and Ying Shisan turned and went out the door.

They basically bypassed the fighting areas along the way. Even if they encountered sporadic troops, they would kill them directly. Although every time this happened, Yan Qi would let her fall asleep in advance, but Ling Qingyu still It is clear, now that we are on Guangnan Road, the land here is sparsely populated, as long as it is not blocked by people, there should be no danger, except that there is a Xie family in Guangzhou.

The sun on the mountain set early, and when it entered dusk, the sky darkened extremely quickly. With a move of Ye Shiyi's hand, the long sword pinned a stone clam, threw it into the net bag on the side, then looked at the quantity inside, and said : "Night Soul, that's enough."

Ye Po also grabbed one in his hand and swept over, looked at a large group of clams in the net bag, nodded and said: "Well, let's go back." Putting the net bag together in his hand, Ye Po said: "Brother Eleven, How many levels of your kung fu are you?" For a year, he practiced desperately and finally broke through the seventh level, thinking that he and Ye Shiyi should be closer, but seeing him make a move, he realized that the gap between them was still very large. Da, Ye Shiyi has improved by leaps and bounds this year. Not only is his internal strength strong, but also his moves have eliminated any redundant movements. They are simple and sharp, and can kill with one hit. It is an assassin's skill that can only be grown in countless bloody fights. , the current Ye Shiyi is almost as decisive and ruthless as Yan San.

"Sometimes, it should be possible to hit the eighth floor." Ye Shixi said lightly. After resting in Funiu Mountain for two days, his internal strength was indeed abundant again, he rushed to a small level, and his skill improved again. It's just that Ye Po still impresses him. He knows in his heart that if there is no snake pill, he may not be able to achieve Ye Po's current achievements.

The two raised their spirits and accelerated towards the post station. When the lights of the post station on the top of the mountain were faintly visible, Ye Shixi stopped, then turned into the dense forest next to him, looked at the three people who were thrown on the ground, and asked He looked at Ying Shisan.

"That's right, you can ask them what the Duke of Ying'an has done to Mr. Zhu?" Ying Shisan clapped his hands, took two steps back and laughed.

Ye Po glanced at it and went straight to the mountain. Ye Shiyi not only improved his martial arts, but also his interrogation skills. They had never heard of those methods before. According to Ye Shili, they were party items. Humans are specially used to interrogate people, so I don't know how he learned such **** methods.

Handing the clam to Sum in the kitchen, after watching the cook demonstrate how to dissect one, when Ye Po returned to the guest room, Ye Shiyi had already started to say the information from the mouths of the three.

Zhu Weili came to Yingzhou from Chengwangna in April. At first, he was hired by King Ying'an as the teacher of the prince. After Chengwang's incident, he often discussed some current affairs with Zhu Weili. In early September, Chengwang attacked Changsha After the news of the blocking of the city was reported to the county prince's mansion, the county prince put Zhu Weili under house arrest.

"Rescue Mr. Zhu." Ling Qingyu lay down on the bed and said, although the medicine was rubbed on the buttocks, the pain was still unbearable. Sure enough, riding a horse and walking on mountain roads is not what women should do.

"I'll go." Ye Shiyi looked at Yan Qi and said. Zhu Weili has Lu Yao by his side, so his life should not be in danger. It is estimated that Zhu Weili still wants to persuade King Ying'an to refuse to leave.

"Well, tell him that the master is going to Guangzhou to board a ship and ask him to come and meet you." Yan Qi nodded.

Ye Shiyi responded, glanced at Ling Qingyu, then turned around and wanted to leave, Yan Qi said: "Don't worry, we have to pass through Yingzhou, you can go after you get off the mountain."

"Yes!" Ye Shiyi replied, then turned and walked out the door.

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhu still wants to persuade King Ying'an again." Yan Qi turned around and said.

"If you still don't want to move under this situation, there's no need to persuade you anymore, let current events force you." Ling Qingyu moved his body and said. Not only Cheng Jia, but even Zhu Weili didn't expect things to change so quickly. Some things are not predictable by humans, and God's will is inevitable.

At dawn on the second day, people in the post station began to prepare to leave one after another. There was still a long distance from here to the next post station, and it took a day's journey to have a place to rest.

There was a lot of noise in the lobby. While eating breakfast here, the caravan was preparing to set off outside.

The camp for hundreds of people outside had been packed, but those men in black didn't look like they were going to leave anytime soon, they were sitting or leaning on something leisurely and eating.

"Brother, it's not easy to go this way, and it's a long way to the next station. Let me tell your master, you'd better leave early." The boss kindly reminded the cute boy who smiled with squinting eyes.

Xie Sanlang looked up at the room upstairs, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, we'll go quickly, don't delay. If your stove is empty, why don't you use it for us first?"

"Okay, just use it." The boss tapped on the hookah pipe and smiled. This group of people, the people camping outside are very polite. They set up a bonfire to cook. What they cook in the station kitchen is only for the people in the upstairs room. According to Zhuzi, they prepare everything from water to all the ingredients. Well, the food is cooked by those people, and even the stone clams are caught by themselves, these people are probably really big families from the north.

Xie Sanlang went to the kitchen at the back, saw that Sum was already making noodles, and said, "Make more today, I'm afraid there will be no food on the way, and it's not easy to light a fire."

Sum hummed, and then said: "You also come to help, make more buns, and bring some to Brother Wang and the others."

Seeing Su Mu's nimbly hands and feet wandering around the kitchen at such a fast speed that only afterimages remained, Xie Sanlang leaned his forehead and sighed: "I said, Sum, are you going to be a cook after you prepare?"

"Can't you?" Sum kept his hands and feet, and threw the kitchen knife to Xie Sanlang at the same time.

Xie Sanlang resigned to his fate and chopped the meat into minced meat, and said: "You said, we were not bodyguards originally? Huh? But it turned out that you were lucky and just squatted in the kitchen. Now Ye Po is about to take our place."

"Yepo's martial arts are much better than ours. It's not safe outside now. He and Shiyi are more suitable than us." Sum put the wrapped buns on the steamer, and started to make the second round.

"Sum, are you really willing?"

"What do you want to say?" Sum took Xie Sanlang's minced meat and mixed it well, saying, "We are the master's servants, it's not that we are willing or not, the master needs us to do whatever we want."

"Sum, to be honest, do you really only regard her as your master?"

Su Mu had flour on his face, and the morning sun shone in from outside the door, making his smile so bright that people dare not look directly at him.

"It doesn't matter whether it's the master or whoever it is, she's the only one in my heart, so it doesn't matter who it is?" Sum laughed.

Xie Sanlang choked at what he said, and then muttered to himself: "I can't tell you, idiot!"

After all the other people in the inn had left for a long time, the boss saw the person in the guest room come out. He didn't come out, but was recited.

"Isn't that good?" Seeing the boss's surprised face, Ling Qingyu whispered in Yan Qi's ear.

"What's wrong?" Yan Qi turned the boss around with a quick glance.

The guards outside had already packed up, and even prepared food for the road. Seeing Yan Qi carrying Ling Qingyu on his back, Wang Zuo asked, "What's wrong with the master?"

"You guys ride horses, we'll walk down." Yan Qi replied casually, then lifted Ling Qingyu up a bit, and took the lead to walk down the mountain path.

Wang Zuo responded with a smile, and led more than a hundred people to ride down to open the way first. Ye Po and Ye Shiyi did not ride one after the other, and the empty horses were led by the people behind.

The sky is just bright, the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, the air is fresh, and there are various daisies blooming on both sides.

Ling Qingyu patted Yan Qi's head, and said worriedly: "How about changing it to Thirteen?"

Yan Qi chuckled, glanced sideways at her, with mockery in her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm that useless?"

"Aren't I worried about your heart?"

"Don't worry, with you on my back, my heart will be fine."
