Lan Qiao returned to Lishan Inn. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Qingying, Feng Yeling and Tang Li sitting together and talking.

Feng Yeling explained, "Not long ago, the city guards came to inspect the inn. Sister Qingying was worried that something would happen to me, so she personally sent me out of the city. Later, I met Tang Nuxia here, and she said she wanted me to wait for you here."

After Lan Qiao thanked Zhu Qingying and Tang Li, he briefly explained that Zhu Gaoxu had taken Leng Han north, and finally said to Feng Yeling, "The situation in Jinan City has changed suddenly. It is no longer appropriate to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time. Ling'er, you'd better immediately

Hurry back to the Marquis Mansion in Qingzhou to avoid unexpected dangers."

Although his tone was consoling, Feng Yeling knew that his meaning could not be refuted, and sighed softly, "What about you?"

Lan Qiao said softly, "I still have some unfinished business, and I may need to delay it for another day. At most, I will go back to find you after I get the clues to the Xixia treasure tomorrow."

When he looked up, he saw Feng Yeling pouting her little mouth, showing a stubborn look. Knowing that she didn't want to leave him alone, he changed his words and said, "Well, if Ling'er is worried, please invite your brother to come to Jinan."

Coordinate. The current situation in Jinan is so complicated that perhaps only a master of his level can handle it."

Feng Yeling was obviously moved by this proposal and asked, "Do you want my brother to come alone or bring his Langya Iron Cavalry?"

"This is for him to make his own judgment," Lan Qiao said. "Ling'er only needs to tell him everything that happened in Jinan when he goes back, and he will have his own opinion."

"Okay then." Feng Yeling said and put on his shawl, "Then I'll leave now. If I hurry up, I can get back to Jinan from Qingzhou tomorrow morning. Before then, don't do anything stupid."

Lan Qiao was thinking about whether it would be appropriate to let Feng Yeling return to Qingzhou alone. Hua Feng came back with Lan Feng and Zhu Qingxiao, and everyone gathered together to have something to say.

Speaking of returning to Qingzhou, Lan Qiao looked at Hua Feng as if asking for help and said, "Now that Jinan has become a place of right and wrong, I want Ling'er and Qing Xiao to leave as soon as possible to avoid any danger."

Before Hua Feng understood the meaning of Lan Qiao's words, Tang Li had already answered on his behalf, "Brother Feng will participate in the sword fighting competition tomorrow, so let me accompany them to Qingzhou. It just so happens that I have long admired the name of their Houfu mountain city.

I want to broaden my horizons."

Lan Qiao said gratefully, "It's so troublesome for me, senior sister."

So Tang Li left with Feng Yeling and Zhu Qingxiao. Zhu Qingying also took the opportunity to say goodbye and went straight back to Wolong Inn, leaving only the two brothers Hua Feng and Lan Qiao Lan Feng.

"Three beauties walking together." Lan Feng said with a bitter smile, "Three alluring beauties walking together at night, wouldn't the danger be doubled?"

Hua Feng said without any worry, "Don't be afraid, you, Senior Sister Tang, are strong enough to protect them, and of course you can also protect yourself."

Lan Qiao also said, "This section of the road is not too far after all, and Ling'er is familiar with the terrain, so there won't be any big problems." When he said this, he looked at Lan Feng and said with deep meaning, "Tomorrow is the sword fighting competition.

It’s the day.”

Of course Lan Feng understands what Lan Qiao means. If they still want to find the Xixia treasure map, tomorrow will be their last chance.

After discussion, the three of them decided to return to Jinan City first. They strolled all the way to Lishan Gate in the south of the city, but they were all shocked.

It was already late at night, but the lights were brightly lit at the Lishan Gate. Groups of city guard soldiers shuttled back and forth, checking every passerby entering and leaving the city gate. The guards were very tight.

Lan Feng wondered, "Usually the city gates are closed at night, but why is the Lishan Gate still open to traffic, as if it was opened specifically for our brothers?"

Lan Qiao explained, "This is Tie Xuan's order. Because the grain from the provincial warehouse in the south of the city needs to be mobilized overnight, the Lishan gate is left open."

Lan Feng looked at the long line of people entering the city outside Lishan Gate and said with a grimace, "But even so, it's not easy for us to sneak into the city, especially when your brother is still wanted."

The people queuing up to enter the city were mainly porters carrying grain loads, and there were also other passers-by who wanted to enter the city at night. They were all subject to strict interrogation by the city guard soldiers.

Lan Feng sighed and said, "Look, the queue here is so long, and the people in front are checking carefully. We won't be able to enter the city for a while, so why should we stand here stupidly?"

Lan Qiao said helplessly, "What do you want?"

"Here." Lan Feng pointed to an all-night barbecue stall on the roadside and said, "Why don't we go sit there first, drink some wine and eat some kebabs or something, and wait until there are fewer people queuing up here before entering.

City. If you have too many worries, drinking to relieve your worries is a good choice."

Hua Feng smiled and said, "That's okay, I happen to be hungry too." Since Hua Feng nodded, Lan Qiao had no objection, so they left the team and walked towards the barbecue stall.

As Lan Qiao walked, he whispered in Lan Feng's ear, "You are hungry too."

"I'm not very hungry." Lan Feng spread his hands, moved forward and said, "Look at the little girl at the barbecue stall who serves tea and skewers to the customers. Isn't she pretty?"

Cui'er is the daughter of barbecue stall owner Wang Dashan. She is fifteen years old this year. She has a delicate face, a slim figure, and two long braids. She helps Wang Dashan at his barbecue stall. Wang Dashan originally planned to close the stall at the end of the year.

Seeing that Alexander Mountain Gate was open all night, thinking that there might be customers, we decided to stay open all night.

Wang Dashan's barbecue stall is so small that he doesn't even have a recognizable name, so the locals only have the impression of him as "an honest and honest fat guy" and "the taste is good and the price is affordable." A four-wheeled trolley,

It is equipped with a barbecue grill, tables, chairs and benches for guests to dine, as well as all the ingredients needed for business. Of course, there is also the simple and honest dream of the father and daughter.

"When I save enough money, I will go to Tianyuan Village in the provincial capital to buy a piece of good cloth and ask Tailor Zhang to make a beautiful skirt for you." Wang Dashan saw Cui'er growing up day by day, and watched the beautiful girl become a beautiful girl.

, but still doesn’t have a decent skirt, he said to her.

Whenever this happens, Cui'er will refuse and say, "I don't have to, I'm still young." In fact, there is no girl of her age who doesn't like beautiful dresses. But she is also a sensible child, and she knows that her father

It's not easy to make money by working late at night, so I couldn't bear to spend so much money on myself.

So Cui'er only wore the simplest blue cloth dress and helped at Wang Dashan's barbecue stall, serving tea and pouring wine for the guests, clearing the cups and plates, wiping the table and washing dishes. She was smart and diligent. Sometimes the guests ordered too much and leftovers.

After eating a few skewers, I left them on the table for Cui'er to eat. She smiled and thanked her every time, but refused to eat. She only left them for Wang Dashan to eat when he was free.

There were only two square tables at the barbecue stall, and there were two benches beside each table, which could seat four to six people. Since it was late at night and no customers had come yet, Cui'er had nothing to do, so she wiped it with a rag alone.

Very clean tables and chairs.

When she saw Lan Qiao and the other three people coming over, she quickly put down the rag, stood up and said hello, "Welcome." Although she was far inferior to those famous beauties on the list, her smile was fresh and natural, making people feel like a spring breeze. Lan Feng greeted Lan Qiao.

Sitting down with Hua Feng, he and Hua Feng sat on a bench on one side, while Lan Qiao sat on the other side.
