The three of them walked in silence for a while, and then a big city appeared in front of them. The three of them rode horses to the city. They saw the word "Xuanzhou" written on the city gate tower, and the printed picture said: "There is a divine horse to mount.

Sure enough, efficiency has already arrived in Xuanzhou."

Tang Ziyan said: "Then let's find an inn in Xuanzhou to rest."

Zhang Sujian nodded and said: "Just follow Ziyan, let's go into the city and find an inn and stay there first. I'm just hungry and want some food and drinks."

Yin Zhantu patted his belly and said, "I think we are tired and we should rest in Xuanzhou."

Tang Ziyan looked at the sky and said, "It's going to rain. Come to the city quickly." After saying that, he took the lead in riding into Xuanzhou, followed closely by Zhang and Yin.

After entering the city, the three of them searched for a store together. Tang Ziyan said: "Let's find an inn near the south city gate. It will be closer to start tomorrow."

The printed picture said: "Look for it near the South City Gate."

When they arrived near the South City Gate, there was indeed an inn called the Nancheng Inn. The three of them dismounted their horses and looked at it for a while. The inn was a three-story building with a courtyard gate next to it. It seemed like there was a backyard and there should be stables.

While waiting at the door of the inn, I suddenly heard someone inside the inn loudly shouting: "Three guests, when you arrive at our hotel, there is no reason not to enter!"

The three of them followed the sound and saw a chubby middle-aged man walking out of the store with a wet towel on his huge head and running towards the three of them with a smile on his face.

Zhang Sujian whispered: "Brother Yin, does this boss look familiar?"

Yin Zhantu smiled and said: "There are some shadows of the E-General brothers, but they are a little older."

The fat boss came closer and said, "Are the three of you staying in a hotel or drinking?"

Tang Ziyan handed the reins to the boss's hand and said: "The three of us are staying in the hotel. Boss, could you please choose two rooms for us, and then prepare the food and wine on the table."

The boss took the reins, looked at Tang Ziyan, and muttered: "Three men living in two rooms?" After saying this, he called two more guys and led Zhang and Yin's horses to the backyard.

The printed picture shows the boss leading the horses to the backyard and saying: "Boss, get some good fodder to feed the horses. We will give you more money."

Just listen to the boss saying: "Don't worry, sir, your horse will definitely gain a pound of fat tomorrow morning."

The three of them smiled at each other and entered the inn.

This inn is surrounded by guest rooms. The three of them followed the waiter to the innermost room. They didn't see a few tenants. It was deserted. The printed picture asked the waiter: "Second Brother, why is the store so deserted?"

The man said: "Hey...it's hard to explain in one sentence! It stands to reason that the territory of Xuanzhou is a place that merchants must pass through for business. It was very prosperous in the past. This year, the emperor sent troops to the Fujian state. The war was chaotic, and merchants no longer dared to trade.

The business of this inn has naturally plummeted."

Zhang Sujian asked again: "Little brother, how far is Longhu Mountain from the place where the two countries fought?"

The waiter said: "It seems to be around there! You have to ask the shopkeeper about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "What do you need to ask me about?" The person who spoke was the innkeeper.

When Zhang Sujian saw the innkeeper arriving, he said: "Shopkeeper, you are here just in time. I would like to know how far away from Longhu Mountain is the place where the Tang and Fujian countries fought."

The shopkeeper let out a sigh and said: "Longhu Mountain has been recruiting people recently. These days, it's full of people who are inquiring about the way to Longhu Mountain. I heard from the merchants who came back that they gathered near Longhu Mountain."

Tang soldiers, as for the battlefield, it is within the territory of Fujian."

Yin Zhantu heard that there was something else in the shopkeeper's words and asked anxiously: "Shopkeeper, who else has asked about this?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yesterday, two people came to stay in the hotel. One was a young man dressed in a suave style, and the other was a girl with a sweet appearance, fair skin, and a graceful figure."

Zhang Sujian said: "That young master is holding a folding fan, and the front end of the fan bone is sharp?"

The shopkeeper said: "How do you know?"

After hearing the shopkeeper's rhetorical question, Zhang Sujian knew in his heart that the young man was Mr. Spider He Rui, and said: "That's an old acquaintance of mine. I guessed it as soon as you mentioned the image."

The shopkeeper said oh without saying anything.

When everyone came to the room, Tang Ziyan looked around at the furnishings in the room, then opened the back window and said, "This is a good room. The window just faces the stables in the backyard. You can see our horses, which is great."

Zhang Sujian and Yin Zhantu turned to look at the window and saw three horses tied in the stable, grazing with their heads down.

The shopkeeper said: "The three guests should pay attention to the noise when they sleep. Horse thieves have been coming and going recently."

Yin Zhantu glanced at the shopkeeper and said: "If you stay overnight in your shop, do you still have to look after the horses by yourself?"

The shopkeeper said: "Horse thieves are all murderers and thieves who sell goods. How dare we businessmen come forward to stop them?"

Tang Ziyan looked back at the shopkeeper and said: "The horse thieves in Xuanzhou are so rampant! What are their origins?"

The shopkeeper wiped his forehead and said, "It's hard to deal with official thieves. It's hard to deal with official thieves." After saying that, he shook his head and left the room with his waiter.

The three of them were confused after hearing what the shopkeeper said. Tang Ziyan said: "What do you mean, officials and thieves are difficult to deal with?"

Zhang Sujian looked at the print exhibition picture and saw that it also had a confused look on his face, and shook his head.

Tang Ziyan looked at the stables in the backyard and said softly: "You two go to bed first tonight, I will stay on duty for the first half of the night."

Zhang Sujian rushed to say: "There are three of us together, how can we let you stay on night watch? I'll go to the first half of the night, and Brother Yin will go to the second half of the night. That's it."

Yin Zhantu nodded and said: "Okay, that's it. Miss Tang, you can rest peacefully. If there is any problem tonight, we two brothers will take care of it."

Tang Ziyan looked at the two of them and nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set, and the three of them had dinner in the room. Zhang Sujian let Yin and Tang rest separately, and sat in front of the window with the window open, holding the Greedy Wolf Sword in his hand, staring at the stable.

When the waning moon climbed up the branches, the innkeeper lit a lantern in the stable, and the situation in the stable could be seen clearly. Zhang Sujian's eyes were wide open, not missing any changes in the stable.

At the second watch, suddenly there were dark shadows, and there were a few people in front of the stable in the backyard. It looked like they were all skilled practitioners. Zhang Sujian did not take any action. He held his breath and waited to see what would happen.

I heard a dark shadow shouting: "You thieves of Tianshi Dao, quickly hand over the secret book that you stole from us! Otherwise, our leader will come forward and take your lives."

Another dark figure replied: "You Nestorians are so shameless and hunt for people and stolen goods. Have you seen with your own eyes that the secret book is on us?"

Zhang Sujian moved when he heard this voice. It sounded so familiar! Oh, it turned out to be Sun Pingyuan, one of the four young masters of Tianshi Dao.

The three dark figures standing next to him must be the other three of the Fourth Young Masters.

The black shadow who spoke first saw how tough the other party was, and said angrily: "I thought it would be easy to talk and discuss, and you would know what's interesting and hand over the secret book. Since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, then Brother Zhao Wuhai, let's not talk to them anymore."

, give them some color!"

Before he finished speaking, a dark figure appeared on the wall of the backyard. The dark figure jumped into the courtyard and rushed towards the four Sun Pingyuan people with their weapons drawn. The dark figure was none other than Zhao Wuhai, one of the twelve Nestorian elders.

The man was quite brave. He held a round shield in his left hand and a serrated steel knife in his right hand. He danced so vigorously that the four young masters were forced to retreat.

Zhang Sujian looked puzzled. When he defeated the Fourth Young Master, he was quite exhausted. How could a Nestorian elder force the Fourth Young Master to retreat step by step today?

It turned out that the four young masters of Tianshi Tao had drunk some wine and were slightly tipsy. None of them were in the best condition. How could they defeat the well-prepared Nestorian elders?

Just when the Fourth Young Master was about to have no way to retreat, a black figure suddenly jumped into the courtyard, holding a long sword in his hand to block Zhao Wuhai's attack.
