Chapter Eighteen: The Phantom Reappears

Owner Li now finally understood that Uncle Zhang's previous judgment was correct. The young innkeeper who seemed very inconspicuous actually had a strong military background. However, he relied on his strength in numbers.

The crowd, coupled with their usual arrogance, did not take this young man in the wilderness seriously at all. They actually kicked out the owner in one night.

Good thing now, there are no less than a thousand soldiers in the queue, and there are at least this many people around who are responsible for outflanking. Although Zhuang Zhuang thinks that he has enough power in his hands to dominate the world most of the time.

Go, but when facing the court and the army, to be honest, the self-righteous power he has in his hands is not enough for others to see.

But the stupid thing has been done, and the army has come to the door with murderous intent. It seems that it is too late to say anything. Do I and these more than a hundred subordinates have to answer here? I am sure that I can fight my way out under the siege of these people.

It’s a bloody road, but if you leave, what will happen to your son? What will happen to your subordinates? Besides, there is an old saying, if a monk leaves, he cannot leave the temple, so will the foundation of Crouching Tiger Villa be lost?

The large group of people had already arrived at the door of the inn. The general who led the group waved his hand, and more than twenty soldiers immediately filed out and arrived at the door of the inn.

"Where is the shopkeeper here?" A soldier who looked like a small captain asked loudly, ignoring the big men in front of him who were touching their weapons with unkind eyes.

Zhuangzhu Li was shocked. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to the shopkeeper or the villagers here yesterday. These people came up and asked the shopkeeper. Obviously they were not sure whether he was safe, so they were not the people the shopkeeper had brought.

Otherwise, I would not ask this question. Yes, it must be that postman. Thinking of the postman who galloped and greeted Qin Yifan from a distance yesterday, Zhuangzhu Li immediately understood the key.

He winked at Uncle Zhang, who immediately understood. He took a step forward and said with a smile: "This military master and the shopkeeper went fishing in the back mountain. Do you have anything to do with him?" Of course, Qin Yifan and the others could not escape their whereabouts at night.

The eyes of the people they arranged naturally knew where it was.

When answering, Uncle Zhang kept rejoicing. Fortunately, he just kicked them out yesterday and didn't take action yet. Otherwise, today, the fate of all the 100 people who were here will be revealed.

Not far away, the people from Saintess' Peak were still watching the fun. They could stay out of it. At least they didn't drive the master out. Their presence here has nothing to do with the young master's lecherous temper. If it weren't for him, what would happen?

How could he possibly know what is going on here when he has to carry that foxy girl with him at all times? But who would have thought that a disciple of Saintess Peak would actually be a frivolous woman that the young master could easily hook up with?

"Who are you?" The team leader pointed at the big men with unkind expressions around him: "What are you doing here? You are bringing these guys with you. Are you trying to do something bad here?" First, let's put a big hat on. It's a serious crime to do something bad.

, if confirmed, it would be enough for the people here and all the people in Crouching Tiger Villa to be bound to the execution ground and executed in the autumn.

"Where is it! Master, please don't talk nonsense!" Uncle Zhang tried his best to smooth things over with a smile: "We are here on an errand, an errand for Lord Han of the Five Cities Military Division in the capital."

"On an errand? Do you have any official documents?" The squad leader looked businesslike in his clothes. Although even Uncle Zhang wanted to scold him, no one dared to take action.

"Well, we are doing a secret mission, so it's not very convenient!" He said as he secretly stuffed a silver ingot in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the team leader was so ungrateful. When he turned his hand, the silver ingots flew up and down in his hand. He squinted his eyes and sneered: "What does this mean?"

He said bad words secretly, but Uncle Zhang still kept a careful smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'll treat you all to a drink."

"Oh!" The squad leader's face seemed to have changed to a joking smile: "Invite us to drink? That's really serious." The expression on his face was no longer so cold: "But, for such a small amount of money, why treat us like this?

It doesn’t seem like it’s enough for so many people to drink!”

Uncle Zhang wished he could give himself a big slap in the face. Where is this place, who is he facing, how can he use that method to dismiss a few government servants? This is good, he can’t count as soon as he looks outside.

Treating a thousand people to a drink is not something you can spend with just a small amount of money.

When Uncle Zhang was in trouble, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats from the other end of the official road. It sounded like only one rider, but it seemed that the person on the horse was in a hurry, and the sound of horse hoofbeats was very fast.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of horse hooves, and they looked over there. Soon, a figure appeared on the official road. Seeing the large group of people here, the knight on the horse secretly screamed, but still urged.

The horse came here. Master Li also saw the knight over there, gradually saw his face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The knight finally arrived in front of the large group of people. If Qin Yifan was there, he would definitely be able to recognize the knight. He was Master Li from the county town over there who came to build this mountain village for Qin Yifan.

After all, he was still considered a member of the government, and he showed his identity to the military controller who led the team. The military controller did not embarrass him much and let him into the inn readily. The team at the door of the inn had already followed the command of the leading officer.

They retreated to the team first. The surrounding circle did not change at all, and they were probably waiting for the order from the officer leading the team.

The owner of the village and Uncle Zhang also entered the inn when the team was evacuating. Master Li saw the owner when he came in. Then he looked around and saw no sign of Qin Yifan. His face suddenly turned pale: "Where is Master Qin?"

"Master Qin?" Mr. Li didn't know Qin Yifan's surname at all. Mr. Li's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these guys just dealt with people without asking whether they were young or old? He felt a little worried: "He is the shopkeeper here.

of."

"He was fishing in the lake in the back mountain." Uncle Zhang didn't dare to say anything more. Although this sentence was absolutely true, there were many things hidden in it, and he didn't dare to tell Master Li.

"Huh!" A long sigh of relief came out of Master Li's mouth, and he patted his chest as if he had lingering fear, soothing and calming his violently beating heart: "It's okay, it's okay! You can go.

Urgent, I forgot to explain to you, but fortunately, it’s nothing serious!”

"What do you want to tell me?" Young Master Li jumped out. He still followed his father and found out that the master of the county magistrate here was actually a distant relative of his. It was really a coincidence that his father didn't just meet him by chance.

I really didn’t know that I still had such a connection with the government here. I guess this is part of the reason why my father dared to act rampant when he came here!

"No matter what you do here, be sure not to offend the shopkeeper here." Master Li finally sent this belated instruction to their ears. However, this was not good news for them.
