"Uncle Hunchback, don't worry, we just need to protect the goods. Although I haven't been home these years, I wrote letters to my father before I came back. I believe that even if the other brothers have any ideas, they would not dare to say anything.
I did it. What my father hates most is fratricide. If any of them dare to do anything to me, they are simply destroying their own future. In Xuzhou, nothing can be hidden from my father, not even the Tiangang Sect.
It’s for daddy’s sake, isn’t it? Don’t worry!” Li Haoran comforted him.
As night fell, a lonely inn finally appeared in everyone's sight next to the official road.
"Haha, today Zong finally doesn't have to sleep in the wilderness!" Both the ordinary guards and Sergeant Langya in the convoy laughed.
They had really suffered a lot after waking up and sleeping in the open air along the way, especially those wolf-toothed soldiers. Everyone was wearing heavy armor. In this sultry summer, they were so suffocated that many of them were even covered in wounds.
Got prickly heat.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and finally, the whole view of the inn could be seen clearly. The four characters "Longmen Inn" were swaying in the wind on a flag.
"Further forward is Longmen Valley. This Longmen Inn has been open for some years. It is said that the boss is a very mysterious figure with a deep background. In this Xuzhou area, both the government and horse thieves have to give some face.
No one dares to mess around here!" Pointing to the inn in front, the hunchback explained to Lin Yi.
"Longmen Inn?" Ji Yi's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the past. It was really interesting. In his previous life, he had also heard of the existence of such a Longmen Inn, but this inn was in the desert. Unexpectedly, it could still be there today.
It's really interesting to meet an inn with the same name.
——
In a stone house in Longmen Valley, an eighty-year-old man was taking a break to recuperate. Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and a cold light shot out from his eyes, "Who!"
"It's me!"
A middle-aged man wearing a gray divination suit opened the stone door and answered.
"Have their people arrived?" the old man asked in a cold voice.
"Well, according to the news, they will spend the night at the Longmen Inn tonight. At that time, the young master's plan remains unchanged. As for the success or failure of the plan, it all depends on Mr. Qi!" The middle-aged man nodded very politely.
"Huh!" The old man glanced at the middle-aged man, "I understand, you can go!"
"This?" If Mr. Meng takes action, he will definitely be successful. But Mr. Meng, there is a rumor in Xuyang County that the Commander-in-Chief of the Langya Army and Horses invited by Master Zhu Jiu is a powerful master!"
"Okay, you middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Qi, there is something you may not know yet. The Eighth Young Master invited Wolf Fang from the Wuji Sect to protect the goods, and there is a young man among them who is very powerful.
He should be a late-stage innate master. A few days ago, a group of horse thieves in Zhenjiang City fell into the hands of that young man, and four innate masters were defeated by him!" the middle-aged man continued.
"What do you mean? Do you think I am worse than a group of horse thieves? If this is the case, you can go back and report to your eldest young master and ask him to invite others!" The old man had a displeased look on his face.
"No, how dare you!" The color of the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he quickly lowered his head, "With Mr. Qi taking action, we will definitely get the result with half the effort, and I will wait for Mr. Qi to do well.
information!"
Not daring to say anything else, the middle-aged man quickly retreated from the stone house, "Huh!" The middle-aged man took a long breath. The moment he just spoke, he clearly felt the old man's murderous intention. If he did more
Say a few words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the stone house today.
This old man Qi is named Qi Yuan. He is a solitary practitioner with a high and arrogant nature. He has an unpredictable ghost sword and uncanny craftsmanship. He is well-known throughout Yangzhou. Among the strong people in the late innate stage, there are few opponents, even if they are strong.
For example, the Tiangang Sect also treated him with great courtesy. Qi Yuan has been in the late stage of Xiantian for twenty or thirty years. It is said that he has now stepped into the realm of Kongming, but no one has seen him take action for many years.
, so it is not clear whether the specific rumors are true or not.
…
Finally, the motorcade arrived at Longmen Inn.
"Guest, gentlemen, please come inside!" Seeing a large caravan appearing outside, three or four waiters immediately rushed out to help enthusiastically.
The steward, the hunchback, ordered: "Servant, ask these guards to go to the backyard of your inn and prepare a few more tables in the backyard. Let them order some good wine and food by themselves!" The hunchback looked back at the group of guards and shouted.
: "Brothers, please be careful. Don't drink too much."
"Don't worry, Mr. Camel, you won't have to stay in the inn once or twice. We won't delay important events." One of the guard leaders said with a smile.
Immediately, 1,780 guards led a large number of war horses, carriages, and goods to the backyard of the inn. After all, goods and war horses are valuable things. Especially the Wolf Fang war horses, so be careful.
"Brother Lin Yi, let's go in and eat first." Li Haoran said to Lin Yi with a smile.
Li Haoran, his wife Yanran, Lin Yi and a group of Langya soldiers walked into the inn.
Step into the inn!
Ji Yi glanced around and noticed that there were five tables of guests sitting on one side of the inn. Those people were either shirtless or with their chests exposed, drinking heavily and talking wantonly. There were swords and other items on their tables or next to their chairs.
Weapons. In total, there are more than 20 people.
When Lin Yi and his group of sergeants wearing heavy armor entered the inn——
The temperature of the entire inn seemed to have dropped. The voices of the men who were chatting and laughing had lowered their voices. They glanced here a few times, and each of them touched their weapons or put them in a convenient place.
It is very common to have a disagreement while walking outside and draw a knife at each other, causing blood to splash five steps away.
…
Lin Yi frowned. Although the inn is not small, there are only ten tables here. The other party occupied five, and there were only five tables left. Everyone in the Langya Army wore heavy armor. Generally, four people would occupy one table.
The tables, even if they are crowded, are not enough.
"You guys." Lin Meng, wearing heavy armor, looked at the other people indifferently, "Squeeze to the side and make way for a table!"
"What did you say!" A tall, shirtless man slammed the table and stood up.
"Wow!"
Twenty sergeants of the Wolf Fang Army turned their heads in unison and looked at the man indifferently.
The tall man was so frightened that his heart trembled.
Clang! Clang!...
The two dozen men immediately grasped their weapons, but they were all wary. They could see that the people coming were wearing heavy armor, and they would suffer a loss in the event of a fight.
