"Brother, there is a town ahead!"
Ruan Xiaoqi pointed forward and said excitedly, it was freezing cold in the middle of winter, and they were hungry and sleepy after traveling all night. Seeing the town was like seeing warm wine and a warm bed.
"Let's go, find a hotel and take a rest!"
Sun Lei looked at the big town in the distance and said, it was already dawn, and there were already many people on the streets of the town.
"What a big town! Qingfeng Town!"
Wu Song looked at the town and sighed. There was a sign at the entrance of the town that said Qingfeng Town.
"Qingfeng Town, Qingfeng Village! Hua Rong's territory?"
Sun Lei looked at those three words and suddenly thought of Xiao Li Guanghuarong, the Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village. This person can be regarded as one of the tragic characters in the Water Margin. Because of his foolish and loyal loyalty, he ruined his family relationship and ended up hanging himself.
From this point of view, Wu Song is more like a hero than Hua Rong. Wu Song met Song Jiang earlier than Hua Rong, and Song Jiang also tried his best to win over him. However, after discovering that Song Jiang's intentions were not right, Wu Song alienated Song Jiang, but Hua Rong chose to be foolish. Loyalty to the end did not end well in the end.
Everyone found a hotel in Qingfeng Town and had a good meal before regaining their energy.
"Brother, let's go directly. There seems to be a garrison in Qingfeng Town. It's not far from Qingzhou Mansion. The army will come sooner or later."
Lin Chong pointed to the camps in the south and north of the town outside the hotel. The entrances of the two camps were guarded by soldiers. They were obviously stationed.
"Well, leave first! It's better to have less to worry about than to have more to worry about!"
Sun Lei nodded. There are two Zhizhai in Qingfeng Town, one is civil and the other is martial. Huarong is the Wuzhizhai. They are wanted criminals now, and they are not acquainted with Hua Rong. If they bump into each other, it will be difficult to talk to them.
After a few drinks and meals, they left the shop and rode horses to leave Qingfeng Town. As long as they were far away from the control of Qingzhou Mansion, they would be safe.
After asking about the road, it turns out that Qingfeng Town is at the intersection of Sancha Road in the southeast of Qingzhou. Because this Sancha Road leads to three dangerous mountains, Qingfeng Village was specially set up in Qingfeng Town. There are three to five thousand people in this town, which is considered Qingzhou. The gateway to the south of the mansion.
"Brother, there are cavalry!"
Lin Chong now has all his inner demons wiped out. He has sharp eyes and ears. It can be said that he sees in all directions and hears in all directions. No movement around him can escape his eyes.
I saw two fast horses running towards Qingfeng Mountain, with two soldiers wearing armor on their backs.
"It looks like the pursuers are coming soon, let's go!"
Sun Lei pulled the reins of the war horse and led everyone west.
An hour later.
"Benefactor, this is Qingfeng Town. I will immediately order people to recruit the two Zhizhai!"
Huang Xin pointed to Qingfeng Town in front of him and said to Qin Ming. It turned out that Qin Ming was still worried, so he brought people to Qingfeng Town first. He wanted to personally give orders to the two Zhizhai villages here.
"Brother, the Qingzhou officers and soldiers are a bit slow. According to the speed, the Qingzhou officers and soldiers should follow us to Qingfeng Town!"
After leaving Qingfeng Town, Lin Chong said to Sun Lei that they were not traveling too fast and the pursuers from Qingzhou Prefecture should have arrived long ago.
"Ignore them, we can get out of Jingdong East Road by walking one day further west. Wherever we go, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army won't have anything to worry about."
Sun Lei pointed to the west and said, "When we reach Jingxi East Road, we have reached Liangshanbo. What else is there to fear when we reach our own territory?"
Walking all the way to the junction of Jingdong West Road and Jingdong East Road, it was getting late, and I saw a small hotel standing by the road. A small wine flag fluttered in the wind at the door. It seemed to be just a wine shop converted from a farmhouse.
"I'm just tired, go in and have a rest!"
When Sun Lei saw the hotel, he led everyone in. Since leaving Qingfeng Town, the road has been non-stop. There is no trace of pursuers from behind, and he is finally free.
"Sir, do you want to start a fire?"
In the shop, a woman was tinkering around the stove. When she saw a few people coming in, she quickly wiped her hands and asked.
"What are you doing here if you don't want to start a fire? Hurry up and put some wine and meat on the table. The horses outside are also being fed!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said to the woman and pointed to the horses in the yard outside.
The woman went into the back hall and called two young men out. One of them carried two jars of wine and began to set out bowls to sift the wine. The other went to the yard to prepare fodder for the horses, while the woman lit a fire by the stove to cook.
"This wine is not good enough."
Sun Lei drank a bowl of wine. This wine was really just village brew. It tasted slightly sour and had an average texture.
"That woman has some good wine, which is worth your money."
Shi Qian saw Sun Lei frowning and shouted to the woman beside the stove.
"Sir, this is the only wine in the shop."
The woman shook her head and said.
"Let's eat some."
Sun Lei shook his head and said, there are some things that you can't help when you go out.
"Sir, the village shop doesn't have very good wine, but the beef is quite fresh. It was just slaughtered yesterday!"
The woman fried several plates of meat and vegetables and brought them over. She said, "She didn't dare to neglect the six people who were here. They were well-dressed and had horses."
However, the woman was only halfway through her words when she suddenly saw the golden mark on Lin Chong's face and knew that this was someone who had committed a crime. She also saw that many of the people coming had weapons, so she hurriedly retreated to the stove, cleaned up for a while and hid in the back. Hall.
"This golden seal is really a hindrance!"
Lin Chong touched the golden seal on his face and laughed at himself. It was like being stamped with a mark, constantly reminding others that he was a heinous prisoner and needed to stay away.
"Brother, coach, please be worried. When you return to the village, you can find a famous doctor to help you remove the golden seal."
Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"How can the golden seal be so easy to get rid of? It doesn't hurt to keep it. Having this golden seal can also warn me of my original stupidity!"
Lin Chong laughed to himself and said, if the tattoos were so easy to remove, how could there be so many prisoners in the world.
"Could it be Master!"
Suddenly a man walked out of the back hall, looked at Lin Chong and suddenly exclaimed.
"Cao Zheng? Why are you here?"
Lin Chong looked up and saw the man, and he immediately recognized the registered disciple he had accepted, Cao Zheng, the butcher of Tokyo City. Cao Zheng liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he often sent some good things to Lin's house. Lin Chong was filial and sincere, so he accepted him as a registered disciple and taught him stick for a few days. However, he later heard that he was doing business and left Tokyo, and he never met again.
"You are truly a master! Master, please bow down to me!"
Cao Zheng quickly knelt down and worshiped.
"I heard that you are doing business with a big company. How can you open a hotel here?"
Lin Chong looked at Cao Zheng doubtfully.
"Master doesn't know that my disciple was doing business with a rich man. He gave me five thousand gu to teach me to come here as a guest in Shandong. I don't want to lose my money, so I can't go back to my hometown, so I will marry into this farmer's family here. This woman is my wife. A person’s wife. This person sifting wine is the villain’s wife’s uncle.”
Cao Zheng quickly called his wife and uncle to bow to Lin Chong.
"Master, I heard that you were framed by Lieutenant Gao and sent your concubine to Cangzhou. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Cao Zheng looked at Lin Chong and said, he never thought that he would meet here.
"That traitor Gao Qiu refused to let go and sent people to Cangzhou to harm me. Fortunately, my two brothers and some heroes rescued me and I survived!"
Lin Chong pointed at Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Shi Qian and said, if the four of them had not come to rescue him, he would have been killed by Lu Qian outside the mountain temple.
