Two hundred and sixty-four people do not know where to go four
After hastily finishing up the two bowls of cold scallion noodles, Wei Changpan and the other two paid the bill and walked out of the noodle shop. The previous few knights had disappeared, and they had no intention of following them anymore. After all, they were ignorant warriors. If they were caught
He noticed the whereabouts of the two of them, which only added to the trouble.
They stayed in the city for two days. During this period, disciples from Songfeng Mountain and people from the Yamen came to inquire. They completely mistook Wei Changpan and the two as refugees from other prefectures and counties. At least the two people who were involved in the crime would not be arrested.
He was "invited" to leave the city for the reason of hindering the view of the officials and dignitaries in the city, and was even given two sets of old clothes by the kind people in the city.
Although the two of them have no shortage of money, they can choose to stay in the inn in the city as they please. However, with their current dignified appearance, they will inevitably arouse suspicion if they enter the inn. Fortunately, they have become accustomed to sleeping in the open in the past few days.
The weather was not so cold that my liver would tremble, so I found a random place in the city to spend the night.
The scar-faced man from Yanyulou has been dragged around the city by Wei Changpan for the past two days. It is really like two country people who have never seen the world coming to the city for the first time. They have to walk around the streets and alleys of the city. There is even a small stall on the street.
The hawkers all came up to take a closer look, which made him feel a little upset. He came to Songfeng County to inquire about the recent news of Songfeng Mountain. He just left the city as soon as possible to find out the news. If he stayed in the city for a moment longer, he would get more information.
Taking into account the risks, if the dog thieves in Songfeng Mountain smelled something fishy, the two of them might not even have a chance to escape in Songfeng County.
After Wei Changpan became familiar with every street and alley in Songfeng County, the sergeants guarding the city gate finally saw the two peasants with shabby appearance and clothes leaving the city. They unanimously lamented that there were finally two less people in the city.
This guy who is just an eyesore is happy to have a bottle of light wine to entertain himself even when he is on duty at night.
"You stayed in Songfeng County for more than one day. What do you want to do?"
The scar-faced man from Yanyulou, who was washing away the smudged makeup on his face by the stream outside the city, still couldn't hold back his confusion. If he hadn't noticed that Wei Changpan seemed to be wandering around, he was actually smearing something with charcoal after nightfall.
, he had long been unable to hold back his sexual desire to ask.
"One day we may be able to use the map of this city, so we should be prepared every day." Pulling off the fake beard that seemed to be integrated with the face, Wei Changpan grinned and replied, "Take it in these two days."
The charcoal sketch is just a rough outline, and it is incomparable to the details in the army that are often several feet high. I can draw more finely after I go back."
Maps? The scar-faced man in Yanyulou once had a few of them in his hands. They were not a rare thing. They were cheap items sold at street vendors in the city for two cents each, so why bother to draw them yourself?
Seemingly seeing his suspicious look, Wei Changpan patiently explained: "Most of the techniques for drawing geographical maps circulated in the market are uneven and poorly drawn. For example, half of the main roads that crisscross the city can be used to go out.
It's a small thing to get sidetracked outside, but it's not worth losing your life in Songfeng Mountain for this."
After seeing the maps drawn by Wuhe Escort Bureau in Jinzhou, which spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and Jinzhou General Song Zhiwen led his guards north to penetrate into the grassland, it is really unbearable to look at these maps with poor composition and calligraphy.
In addition, both Wuhe Escort Chief Zhang Bashun and General Song once told him that the more detailed the map, the better. A narrow alley drawn unintentionally may become an escape route in the future.
, he always kept these words in mind.
"It makes some sense. I was the one who was rude. It's just that you are greedy for the peace and quiet in this city and don't want to go to the mountains to live a precarious life as a bandit." The scar-faced man from Yanyulou was also honest and openly admitted his previous suspicions.
"After all, few of us in Yanyu Tower can trust your responsible person named Wei."
"He is an honest man." Wei Changpan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Most of the gossip is behind his back. It would be better for you to say it directly in front of the owner. He is neither supposed to nor nor should he be, so he is very embarrassed.
Wei Changpan had no hope that the prejudice against him among the disciples of Yanyulou could be reduced in a short period of time. Many of the compulsions made him shrink in the eyes of others, and who could he talk to.
The disguised sludge was slowly rubbed away, and he picked up the stream water and slapped it on his face. He leaned down and looked at the face of the unshaven young man reflected in the stream, which felt strange for some reason.
He was stunned for an unknown amount of time before he realized what was happening. His hand inadvertently touched the handle of the sword at his waist, and his whole body suddenly became tense and tense.
Relax.
The Jianghu he originally thought of was a place where heroes and fairies could come and go freely as they pleased. Looking at it now, he couldn't help but laugh at himself for his youth and ignorance. After all, there are only a few heroes who can survive the vast quagmire of Jianghu.
Characters like Wei Changpan, once they get into it and want to get out, they find that they can no longer get out.
....
Inside Songfeng County.
"These two people have very thin feet. Have you ever found out?"
"The people on the road are all farmers from Jiangzhou, people from the countryside, and the earthy flavor in their words is still there. At first glance, the identity is unmistakable, but it's a pity that the flaws are still exposed." Ordinary people dress up.
The young man beamed with joy and said, "Does the steward know what the flaw is?"
In a secret room behind a pawn shop in the city, Li Zhouzhao frowned slightly when he heard the unnamed disciple of Songfeng Mountain who was half-kneeling in front of him. He usually didn't like it when someone had to tell someone something and would try to delay it. Yuan Li was not a small person.
This man who had made great achievements immediately became an imbecile in his heart.
Seeing Li Zhouzhao's undisguised dissatisfaction, the man who came to report realized that his previous behavior was probably superfluous and made the steward dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said:
"The day before yesterday, when the disciple was on duty at the city gate, he happened to meet these two people entering the city. He did not raise any suspicion at first. He only thought that they were ordinary farmers. However, when he was handing in the marriage certificate at the city gate, the disciple saw the calluses on his lips. He definitely did not carry the hoe all the time.
Rather, it is like a cocoon created by a martial arts practitioner who diligently practices swordsmanship like a disciple, so he kept an eye on it, and after asking the steward for your instructions, all the spies in the city started to focus on the two of them."
There are two types of people in Songfeng County. One is the Jianghu people who are disciples of Songfeng Mountain, and the other is ordinary people. Gao Xu, who almost regards Songfeng County as a forbidden family, is one of the few Jianghu sects in Jiangzhou that have not been included in the jurisdiction of Songfeng Mountain.
All pass through Qi. If any disciple enters the city for any reason without informing Songfeng Mountain in advance, it will be regarded as a bad person and they will take life and death seriously. Therefore, whenever a martial artist appears in Songfeng County, he must be reported as soon as possible.
Li Zhou, the steward of Songfeng County, was everywhere.
The disciple from outside Songfeng Mountain who spent the whole day welcoming and escorting him to and from Songfeng Mountain had now transformed into the general manager of many affairs in Songfeng County. Li Zhoudao himself did not expect this.
He was single-handedly promoted to the inner mountain of Songfeng Mountain by Gao Xu, the master of Songfeng Mountain, and practiced in the same place as those inner mountain disciples with outstanding talents. However, Li Zhouzao's talent in martial arts was really limited, and it was difficult for him to enter more than half a floor in two years. To the satisfaction of the elders of the Council, who were known for their strictness, and in addition to the fact that a considerable number of inner mountain disciples were lost in the fire at Yanyu Tower, even a mediocre Taoist like Li Zhouzao had no future in the mountain. They also had to be ordered down the mountain to help the Songfeng Mountain industry, which was riddled with holes and affected by the Yanyu Building Fire, get back on track.
Gao Xu, the master of Songfeng Mountain, issued this order just because he saw that Li Zhoudao, whom he had single-handedly promoted, had accomplished nothing in Songfeng Mountain, which also damaged his face. He also thought that Li Zhoudao had a lot of experience in dealing with people, so he had no choice but to become a living doctor. Who has ever done this? Li Zhou, who had no hope of pursuing a career in martial arts, felt like a fish in water after coming down the mountain. Within a few months, he was able to improve the industry at the foot of the mountain to a higher level.
There are many people who are outstanding in martial arts in Songfeng Mountain, but if we want to talk about how sophisticated they are, these martial arts practitioners who have always been immersed in martial arts and have no regard for worldly affairs cannot be compared with Li Zhouzao. There is one less talented person in Songfeng Mountain. There is no harm in being a disciple within the mountain. If there is a steward who is well versed in the world under the mountain, Songfeng Mountain will bring in real money every year.
Li Zhoudao has been in charge of Songfeng County for a full year. During this period, there have been precedents of outsiders entering the city regardless of the rules established by Songfeng Mountain. The hero who unscrupulously ate and drank in a restaurant under the name of Songfeng Mountain had not been drinking for more than two days. The patrolman was subdued by the Songfengshan disciples who swarmed up from here. Without even taking out his weapons, he was tied into a rice dumpling and sent to the newly appointed city steward Li Zhouzhao. As for his fate, anyway, this man was at the junction of Jianghui and Jiangzhou. From then on, the famous hero kept silent when he heard others talk about Songfeng County, and Li Zhou also got a glimpse of Li Zhou's tactics.
"Two unidentified martial arts practitioners entered the city..." Li Zhouzhi, who was sitting upright on the chair, had a headache. He raised his hands and stretched out his fingers to massage the acupoints on both sides of his head. "What have you done in the city?"
"This is what the disciples think is very unusual. These two people are not wandering around the streets and alleys in the city all day long.
Wandering around means going into restaurants to eat at cheap prices, and staying overnight means just finding a sheltered eaves and sleeping in clothes. At first glance, anyone would just think that he is just a lazy man living in the countryside. If you don’t go down and come to the city to make a living..."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. When Li Zhou heard the words of the ambitious and anonymous disciple in front of him, these six words came to mind. Two unknown martial arts warriors entered the city in disguise. Maybe they even bribed their joints to get them. The two travel documents are probably fake. It is impossible to just spend two days in the city as a lazy man.
On the surface, Songfeng Mountain is invincible in Jiangzhou Jianghu, but secretly the tide is already raging. Even inner mountain disciples and crossbow troops are sent down the mountain. It has only been stable and peaceful for a few years. Is it possible that Songfeng Mountain is going to Jiangzhou again? Making enemies? But where is there any Jianghu sect in Jiangzhou today that is worthy of Songfeng Mountain's serious treatment? The only one that can compete with Songfeng Mountain is Yanyulou. It is said that it has started a new business in nearby Suzhou, with only a few kittens and puppies, which is not a big deal.
He vaguely felt that the thieves who attacked and killed the Songfeng Mountain disciples were somehow related to the two people who entered the city, but he couldn't explain the reason. The last time a gangster broke into the city was more than half a year ago, so it happened to be at this moment. If it happened on the Internet, he would not believe it at all if it was said that there was no connection.
From a disciple with no name and no prospects outside Songfeng Mountain, he rose all the way up to become the steward of hundreds of disciples from Songfeng Mountain in the Commandery City. Li Zhou knew clearly how much of it was due to his own ability and how much was due to chance.
It was a coincidence that the situation brought about it. There were probably more than two hands of people who coveted his position in Songfeng Mountain. Li Zhouzhao knew that his every word and deed would be closely watched by these people, and if he made any mistakes, he might be caught.
He is making a big fuss on the mountain, but he will not be able to keep this job when the time comes. He is afraid that he will lose his life due to some unwarranted frame-up, so he cannot tolerate his carelessness.
"Choose a few good players in the city, three or five people are enough." Li Zhouzhao stroked his newly grown short beard, and soon he had an idea, "Wait a little while, take a piece of letter from me to the mountain, and ask you two
Fellow disciples from Neishan came to help."
The masters of Songfeng Mountain who can be mobilized under his jurisdiction are only characters with half a foot on the fourth floor of martial arts, but they have not yet developed any vitality. They are enough to deal with ordinary and unpopular knights.
, but if it comes to facing those two people who don’t know their origins, Li Zhouzao still wants to be safe, and even does not hesitate to invite his fellow disciples from Uchiyama who do not have a deep friendship. Although Li Zhouzao is no longer what he used to be, after all, martial arts
How far a journey can go is a given, and it is inevitable to rely on external forces.
There are three or five masters on the threshold of the fourth floor of martial arts, plus two Uchiyama fellow disciples who have martial arts skills, even if those two people are both fourth floor martial arts. Of course, this is the worst plan, if it is
For two people with similar martial arts realms, even if the disciples of Songfeng Mountain could forcefully eat them, they would inevitably suffer casualties. When the news spreads to the mountain, people can write some articles.
The ambitious anonymous disciple of Songfeng Mountain took a piece of paper with him and rode straight to Songfeng Mountain. Li Zhou was a little sad when he watched this man leave. Back then, he was still on Songfeng Mountain welcoming him.
, is it not like him, unwilling to let go of any way to climb up? If he hadn't caught the eye of the mountain master for no reason when he was entertaining guests on the mountain, he would have been randomly assigned to an unknown property in Songfeng Mountain.
But the guests who came to the mountain where he stayed that time were probably nothing more than ashes.
Why did the two guests who were obviously very talkative turn out to be Zhang Jiawufu from Qishan County? The head of the one who had a very pleasant conversation with the mountain owner even had to be hung on the mountain gate for a long time. The desperate gamble at Yanyu Tower ended in failure.
At the same time, Songfeng Mountain also paid a heavy price for the terrifying fighting power of those few people. It was said that three out of ten disciples from the inner mountain were dead or injured, and countless disciples from the outer mountain were killed or injured. It took several days just to deal with the blood stains on the corpses.
.
He still remembered the young man who always liked to ask questions. When he was called a young hero, the young man shyly said that he was just a boy.
