Three days later, Xiyang Mansion.
"Old senior, is the food here still to your taste?"
In an inn called "Longmen", the young man among the horse bandits who knew Wei Changtian's identity sat opposite Lao Zhangtou and asked politely: "Do you need some more side dishes?"
"No need."
Lao Zhangtou put down his chopsticks and replied calmly, his words and deeds had the feeling of an outsider.
However, Agou next to him was not as able to pretend as he was. At this time, he was holding a roasted chicken leg in his left hand and a pot of shochu in his right hand, happily eating and drinking.
Glancing at the little girl who was drinking like this at a young age, the young man looked at Lao Zhangtou again.
"Senior, we have arrived at Xiyang Mansion for five days now. It will take at most three days before news can be sent back from Fengyuan."
"Are you sure that Mr. Wei is in Fengyuan City now?"
"Well, I'm sure of course."
Lao Zhangtou waved his hand "impatiently", seeming to be dissatisfied with the man's questioning.
But in fact, he was quite panicked.
Although these horse bandits have been serving him delicious food and drinks these past few days, they are also closely guarded.
It will take six or seven days for his escape technique to be used again. If the horse bandits don't get clear information before then, they will think that he is deceiving them...
There is no need to say more about the result.
ah! I don’t want to die yet!
With a cry in his heart, Lao Zhang stood up and rolled his sleeves.
"Senior, what are you going to do?" The young man immediately stood up with a smile.
"Oh, I'll go to the courtyard and take a look at the scenery."
"Really? Then I'll go with senior."
"......what ever."
Saying a few words helplessly, Lao Zhangtou slowly walked to the front yard of the inn.
Longmen Inn is located in a county town in the west of Xiyang Prefecture. Standing in the courtyard, you can see the vast desert in the distance.
Most of the people who settled in such a place were merchants and knights traveling from north to south. There were also many horse bandits like young men who wandered around the Gobi Desert in the West.
It should be very unfair to argue in such a mixed place. It should be normal for people in the world to fight if they disagree.
But no one has dared to fight here in decades.
There is no other reason than that the shopkeeper of Longmen Inn is very powerful and is said to have reached the third level.
As for why such a third-level master would open an inn here... not many people know the reason.
But the rule of "no force is allowed inside the Longmen Inn" is unknown to everyone in the entire Xiyang Mansion, both black and white.
Even when the government is chasing fugitives, they have to behave themselves here and never dare to draw their swords.
"..."
"Senior, what's so interesting about a pile of sand?"
Standing next to Lao Zhangtou, the young man chuckled and said, "Why don't you go back to the house and rest."
"..."
Lao Zhangtou did not speak, but used his peripheral vision to secretly glance at a few horse bandits not far away who were basking in the sun, and then turned his sight further away.
"call!"
Withered tumbleweeds jumped and rolled in the yellow sand, carrying the unique smell of the desert and moving with the wind in the endless wilderness.
This was originally just an ordinary desert scenery, but just a few breaths later, everyone's expressions, including Lao Zhangtou, suddenly changed.
Because they all heard an extremely dense sound of horse hooves in the wind. It was roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred good horses.
And more importantly, the sound of horse hooves came from all directions!
"Senior! I'm afraid something big is going to happen here, so please go back to the house!"
The young man's pupils shrank, and he immediately forcibly "invited" Old Zhangtou back to the inn.
Many people immediately returned to the inn lobby like them, but some people believed that they were good at it and stayed in the courtyard to see what these "uninvited guests" wanted to do.
After all, no one has dared to cause trouble in Longmen Inn for so many years, so this is still a new thing.
"Hey, tell me, who is so ignorant that he dares to go wild in Shopkeeper Huang's territory?"
"Who knows, but listening to the sound of the horse's hooves... it should be the official's red horse."
"People from the government? Is it possible that there are important criminals hiding in the inn? But what can happen with so many people coming? As long as others don't leave the inn, do they really dare to rush in and arrest people?"
"Who says it's not...it's coming!"
With a soft cry, everyone's eyes instantly focused on the horses galloping from all directions.
Judging from the clothing of the people on horseback, they are indeed official servants of Xiyang Mansion, and everyone is fully armed, even wearing light armor.
Only two people are special.
A young man wearing a black robe with starry eyebrows and sword-like eyes, and a beautiful woman with long flowing hair wearing a black skirt.
"Hiss...this girl is so handsome!"
"Fuck you!"
"Suck~"
"..."
There was a sound of slurping in the courtyard.
After all, compared to those powerless ladies, such a heroic and heroic woman is more in line with the aesthetics of warriors like them.
But before everyone could appreciate the woman's beauty, the next actions of the hundreds of officials made their faces change instantly.
"Hush!"
"Canglang!!"
"Canglanglanglang!"
Reining the horse, dismounting, drawing the sword, and surrounding the inn.
The menacing officers didn't say a word, but their movements were smooth and smooth. After only a dozen breaths, they surrounded the entire Longmen Inn.
Judging from the decisiveness of drawing the sword, it seems that they did not take into account the "no use of force" rule of the Longmen Inn at all.
In other words, at this moment, they must follow "bigger" rules.
"this......"
Everyone in the courtyard looked at the long sword with a cold glow that was so close to them, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
At the same time, Wei Changtian also got off his horse under everyone's gaze and casually asked an official beside him.
"But here?"
"Sir, yes! I did see Senior Zhang being kidnapped here by a group of horse bandits, and he has not left yet."
"good."
Nodding, Wei Changtian waved his hand without hesitation: "Go into the house and find someone!"
"Anyone who dares to block it will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!!"
More than a hundred officials responded in unison, and soon they all raised their knives and prepared to rush into the inn to "rescue" Lao Zhangtou.
However, before they could cross the threshold, an extremely powerful voice suddenly exploded from a room on the top floor of the inn.
"Let's see who dares!!"
"..."
"Deng Deng Deng!"
Hearing this violent shouting, the officials stopped almost instinctively, and at the same time looked back at Wei Changtian who was standing behind him with his hands behind his back.
The latter's expression was not very surprised, but he repeated without mercy: "I said, enter the house to find someone, and anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy."
"If there are masters that you can't deal with, then let me kill them."
"Do you understand everything this time?"
