It only took ten days for the thick snow to melt away. Fortunately, with horses to travel, we didn't have to worry about the muddy roads.
"Brother, it looks like we are almost arriving in Qingzhou!"
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the mountains in the distance and said.
"Well, we're in Qingzhou. Let's find a place to stay outside the city to avoid getting into trouble."
Sun Lei looked at Qingzhou City at the foot of the mountains in the distance and shook his head and said, the official documents of the pursuit were posted everywhere along the way, and the government was not all trash. After an investigation, many clues were also found, except for the obvious In addition to the number one criminal Lin Chong, Sun Lei and others were also designated as suspects because they had appeared nearby because their faces were unfamiliar.
Qingzhou City is the capital of Jingdong East Road, and it is also very lively outside the city.
"I didn't expect Qingzhou City to be so lively!"
It was getting late, the lights were brightly lit in the direction of Qingzhou City, and there were many lanterns hanging on the city walls.
"Brother, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? Here in Shandong, lanterns are hung up during the New Year's Eve, and a lantern festival is lively. During the Lantern Festival, there are also lanterns."
Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"It's almost Chinese New Year!"
Sun Lei nodded and calculated that it had been a long time.
"Brother, there is a hotel ahead!"
Shi Qian pointed to the hotel with lanterns hanging on the road in the distance.
"Let's go, we'll stay here tonight!"
Sun Lei pointed to the hotel and said. When Lin Chong heard that he was about to enter the hotel, he pressed the brim of Fan Yangli's hat on his head. He was the most conspicuous among all the people. The golden mark on his face would make others suspicious at first sight.
"Don't worry, no one will recognize you along the way!"
Sun Lei opened his mouth and said, he had stayed in many shops along the way, and the gold seal on Lin Chong's face did not attract much attention. Shandong is a place where martial arts are practiced and the people are strong. In recent years, government exploitation has become more and more severe, and the people who are sentenced are not ordinary people. There are not a few people with gold seals on their faces.
"Brother, this Qingzhou is a big mansion. If you are afraid of encountering officials, you should cover it up to avoid any complications."
Lin Chong suppressed Fan Yangli again. Qingzhou Prefecture was no better than the small town of Yezhen he passed by before. Local news spread slowly, and there were few arrest documents. It was almost impossible for anyone to recognize him. However, Qingzhou Prefecture was the capital of Jingdong East Road. , there must be a lot of wanted lists posted, and there will be no shortage of people in the government.
"Please come in with a few guests!"
As soon as he arrived at the door, the hotel doorman greeted him warmly. From a distance, he noticed these six big men on horses. As a doorman, you have to be discerning. He could tell whoever was rich and willing to spend money at a glance. It can be seen that the few people in front of me are well-dressed, carry heavy baggage, and even have BMWs for transportation. They look like wealthy tourists.
"The horses are fed, and the wine and food will be served!"
Shi Qian handed the horse's reins to the disciple and gave instructions.
"Okay! Clean the tables and chairs inside!"
Menzi took the reins enthusiastically and shouted to the waiter in the hotel.
A large table of wine and food was quickly placed, and Sun Lei and others began to exchange cups.
"Brother, dozens of riders are coming!"
Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves outside. Lin Chong fiddled with his hair alertly, letting the hanging messy hair block the golden seal on his face. As a trainer, he knew as soon as he heard that there were dozens of horses approaching, and the heavy sound of hooves should be Carrying soldiers on their backs, no matter which state capital there is a large group of soldiers and cavalry, they must be from the government.
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Shi Qian all subconsciously touched their weapons after hearing this, ready to take action at any time.
"Drink! Drink!"
Sun Lei shook his head and raised the wine bowl. The road was calm and there was no news. This person should not be targeting them.
"To brother!"
Everyone then felt at ease and raised their wine bowls to toast Sun Lei.
"You are so blind. Didn't you see grandpa coming? Why don't you come over to sift the wine?"
The curtain of the hotel was opened by a mourning sword, and a man with an appearance as dignified as a tiger and a leopard, and a body as long as a dragon walked in, shouting impatiently, behind him were dozens of people wearing Armored soldiers also filed in.
"Captain Huang is here! Please come in quickly!"
When he saw the visitor, without waiting for the waiter's reaction, the shopkeeper stepped forward first, nodded and bowed, full of flattery.
"You are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. I have worked so hard to suppress bandits, why don't you go warm some wine to relieve your fatigue!"
Huang Xin glared at the shopkeeper and said unceremoniously.
"Prince Huang, please take a seat. The waiter is here to warm up the wine!"
The shopkeeper quickly ordered the waiter.
"Thanks to Huang Dujian's protection, we and other shops are not disturbed by strong men. We must drink a few more drinks today! The name of Dujian, the town of Three Mountains, has been resounding throughout Shandong!"
The shopkeeper was afraid that Huang Xin would find fault and began to flatter him first. The shopkeeper was indeed a smooth person, and a few words made the angry-looking Huang Xin laugh.
"You guys are knowledgeable. I will pull out these three evil mountains on the edge of Qingzhou sooner or later!"
Huang Xin laughed, and the soldiers next to him also flattered Shangguan.
"Is this Huang Xin from Sanshan Mountain?"
Sun Lei held the wine bowl and looked at Huang Xin who was bragging in the distance. The soldiers around Huang Xin couldn't stop applauding and flattering him, which made Huang Xin even more proud.
Ruan Xiaoqi and Shi Qian both shook their heads and said they didn't know what Zhensanshan Huangxin, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and Wu Songshao were walking around in the world. It was their first time in Qingzhou and they had never heard of this person.
"It's so noisy!"
Lu Zhishen placed the wine bowl heavily on the table and said.
"Master, could it be that he thought of the town of Guanxi?"
Wu Song thought that Lu Zhishen's hands were itchy, because the names of the town of Sanshan and the town of Guanxi were the same.
"Those who control this or that are just braggarts."
Lu Zhishen became even more angry and directly regarded Huang Xin and Zheng Tu as the same species.
"After all, he is the military commander of Qingzhou, so he should be nicknamed Zhensanshan."
Sun Lei poured a bowl of wine for Lu Zhishen to calm him down.
"But Master Lu, you seemed to be so arrogant and domineering in Weizhou back then. Lu Tiha in Weizhou was also a powerful figure."
Sun Lei joked again, Lin Chong and Wu Song both looked at Lu Zhishen, Ruan Xiaoqi and Shi Qian looked away and laughed, replacing the boastful Huang Xin with Master Lu who thought whatever he wanted was interesting.
"Nonsense, the Sa family has never been like this!"
Lu Zhishen immediately denied it.
"Hehe, brother Shi Jin told me that you invited him to drink in Weizhou and you were so arrogant when you entered the hotel..."
Seeing that Lu Zhishen refused to admit his guilt, Sun Lei immediately brought out the witnesses and even described in detail Lu Zhishen's words and deeds in the hotel when he invited Shi Jin for a drink, including his subsequent beating of Zheng Tu.
"Drink, drink, drink! Whatever you said, it was all before Sajia became a monk! Monks don't talk about the past!"
Lu Zhishen was a little embarrassed and panicked when he heard about the past, and immediately poured wine for everyone to change the subject.
"Brother, stop making fun of the master. The master has become a monk, and the past in this world is all a matter of the previous life!"
Lin Chong helped Lu Zhishen speak.
"Master is really kind! What a hero!"
Wu Song also smiled and said that he didn't care how arrogant Lu Zhishen was in the past. In his opinion, a good man should be so arrogant and happy to take revenge.
"Master, you are so brave. You killed that evil guy with just three punches! Respect to Master!"
Ruan Xiaoqi and Shi Qian also raised their bowls and said.
"Haha, let's laugh!"
When Lu Zhishen saw that everyone was complimenting him, he accepted the compliments shamelessly, losing all the shyness he had just shown.
