Chapter 145 Enemies meet on a narrow road
For some reason, Mengniang felt that Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze seemed to be see-through, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Jiang Shouzhong looked back in time, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "It's normal to have evil spirits outside. There is no need to meddle in other people's business. Now that there is a special person like Miaomiao around, it's better to be cautious. .”
“Yes.”
Meng Niang nodded and disappeared into the house.
Jiang Shouzhong packed his bags and was about to set off with Erliang and the others when an unusual sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the street outside the inn.
About a hundred elite cavalry wearing armor poured into the streets of Muling County like a flood and quickly dispersed.
Before everyone could realize what was going on, a cavalryman suddenly kicked open the door of the inn with his horse's front hooves. He quickly scanned the lobby with his sharp eyes and declared in a cold voice: "The superior has an order. , starting from now, Muling County will implement a three-day lockdown, during which no one is allowed to leave without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be responsible for the consequences!"
After that, the cavalryman turned his horse and ran towards the other side. direction and continue to convey the order to close the city.
Lockdown?
Everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Shouzhong was also shocked, wondering why the city was suddenly closed after it was so good.
Remembering that Mengniang said there was a demonic spirit in the inn, the man wondered, could it be to catch the demon? But there is no need to mobilize troops like this, unless the demon has a relatively big background.
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated whether he should show the special tokens of the six doors to obtain the privilege of passage.
But looking at such a huge battle outside, if you take the lead rashly, you may cause unnecessary trouble. It would be bad to be targeted. After all, there is an enemy princess beside you.
After some weighing, Jiang Shouzhong finally gave up his plan to take the lead.
After all, the lockdown is only temporary, and the three days will pass if you endure it.
Back in the room, Jiang Shouzhong called Mengniang out and asked: "Can you sense where the monster is hiding in this inn?"
Mengniang closed her eyes and sensed it with her consciousness. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said: "There are two monsters in this inn. One is the man holding a fan who was sitting at the next table when you were having dinner today. The other... must have used some secret technique, and the exact location cannot be determined. "
"It turns out he is a demon."
Thinking of the handsome young man holding a fan, Jiang Shouzhong was a little surprised, "Is that the woman holding the sword?"
Meng Niang shook her head, "No."
Jiang Shouzhong sighed, " It’s a troubled time to go out.”
Meng Niang asked curiously: “Who is Zhang Queer’s relative? Will he take this girl in?”
Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his eyebrows and said: "According to the address given by Zhang Ashun, it is an escort agency called Longwu in Yucheng County. Zhang Ashun's brother-in-law is the head escort in this escort agency. As for whether he will take Zhang Queer in, we will wait and see."
...
The forced closure of the city without warning made everyone very dissatisfied, but looking at the elite cavalry soldiers on the street, no matter how big their complaints were, they could only swallow them by force.
Fortunately, it is only three days, so everyone can bear it.
Inside the house, a woman with a sword stood in front of the window, looking at the cavalry patrolling the street with a sad face.
“Yuanmei, it’s okay, it’s only been three days.”
The man next to her was gently shaking a folding fan in his hand. Although there was some worry in his eyes, when he saw the woman's sad face, he tried his best to speak in a comforting tone.
The woman named Yuan Mei said worriedly: "I'm afraid that dad and the others will come here..."
"It doesn't matter, my father-in-law won't come here so quickly."
The man gently holds the woman's hand.
Yuanmei's face turned red and she said coquettishly: "What father-in-law? If daddy really comes to find him, let's see if he will break your legs. After all, you kidnapped his precious daughter... The daughter of the Longwu Escort Agency.”
The man smiled and said: "If Yuanmei doesn't want to come with me, how can I, a little scholar, kidnap such a beautiful heroine?"
"Fuck you, I was deceived by you."
Yuanmei slapped the other party.
The woman sighed softly and leaned her head gently on the man's shoulder, "Brother Wen, you can't let me down."
The scholar surnamed Wen hugged the woman and said in a tone of voice Wen Wen said, "Don't worry, Sister Yuan. When we get to Qingzhou, I will ask my uncle to bring the betrothal gift to the Longwu Escort Bureau to marry you. My uncle has no children, and I am just my nephew. He will support me in whatever I do. When the time comes, You are the young lady of the Wen family, enjoying endless glory and wealth.”
Yuan Mei looked at her with affection and shook her head, "Brother Wen, I don't want any glory or wealth, I just hope that you will love me forever."
At this point, Yuan Mei suddenly looked stern and said in a cold voice : "Wen Dong, if I find you hooking up with other women, I will definitely kill you two bitches!
Don't look at other women too much, like the little girl today, next time you If you don’t look at her again, I will scratch her little face!”
Feeling the cold murderous intent in the woman’s tone, Wen Tong knew that this young lady from the escort agency He had a arrogant temper, and immediately promised again and again, "Don't worry, Sister Yuan, you will always be the only one in my eyes."
...Because they only closed the city and not the inn, many people in the inn went out. People wander around the streets to relax, and more often go to fireworks venues for entertainment, even in broad daylight.
Jiang Shouzhong took the three girls to wander aimlessly in the city, but soon felt bored and returned to the inn.
When I went upstairs, I happened to meet Wen Tong and Long Yuanyuan again.
This time, Wen Tong, who was holding a folding fan, did not look at Zhang Queer. Instead, he looked straight at Zhang Queer and politely passed by Jiang Shouzhong and his group, looking like a handsome gentleman.
On the contrary, Long Yuanyuan stared hard at Zhang Queer.
Because of the special nature of Zhang Queer's skills, she looks like an ordinary girl like Erliang, while Yelu Miaomiao has lost all her skills and is now an ordinary person with no cultivation.
Only Jiang Shouzhong carried a Seven Killing Sword and transformed the Taoist body into the Golden Taoist body of the second level of Wufu to expand the acupoints.
So in the eyes of Long Yuanyuan and others in the inn, Jiang Shouzhong and his party are not a threat.
“I’m sick.”
Zhang Queer rolled his eyes.
The girl's voice was very soft, but it was still heard by Long Yuanyuan who came downstairs.
Long Yuanyuan, who has developed a unruly temperament in the escort agency since she was a child, her face changed instantly. She turned around and glared at Zhang Que'er, "Smelly girl, if you have the ability, say it again and try again!?"
< br>Everyone in the inn lobby heard the movement and all looked at him.
Human beings all have the attribute of eating melons.
Jiang Shouzhong frowned and was about to speak. Wen Tong quickly stepped forward to persuade the woman and whispered something in her ear. Long Yuanyuan turned around and left with a cold face.
Everyone was booing and regretting that there was no good show.
“Do you want to wear a veil?”
Back in the room, Jiang Shouzhong asked Zhang Queer.
Zhang Queer shook his head, "I don't wear it, it makes it seem like I was wrong. You must think I am causing trouble now, right?"
Jiang Shouzhong laughed dumbly. "I'm not blind. It's just that I have to keep a low profile for now, especially since there are many officers and soldiers outside. It will be troublesome if they are targeted. Of course, if they take the initiative to bully you, you should fight back."
"I know~"
Zhang Queer deliberately prolonged his tone, put his hands behind his back, and left the house on his little boots.
In the afternoon, Erliang said he wanted to buy some items for the road.
Jiang Shouzhong, who was asking Meng Niang for advice on martial arts, didn't care. After all, the shop was not far from the inn, so he gave Zhang Queer some money and asked Erliang to accompany him.
While passing by the blacksmith shop, Zhang Queer suddenly stopped.
Looking at the constantly flying sparks and the red-hot iron billet, Zhang Queer glanced at the grocery store not far away, and said softly to Erliang: "Erliang, you go shopping first, I'll stay here for a while. ”
“Oh, okay.”
Erliang nodded his head and turned around to leave without thinking much.
Zhang Queer came to the blacksmith shop, looked at the iron billet that was being forged and quenched, and asked lightly: "How much does it cost to cast a sword."
The strong and muscular man The middle-aged man wiped the beads of sweat on his muscles and saw that the person asking the question was a little liar. He said angrily: "Girl, the sword has no eyes, it is not for fun."
"Does business have to be based on age?"
Zhang Queer took out a small piece of gold and played with it in his hand.
This ingot of gold was not given by Jiang Shouzhong, but the property left by her father's noodle shop, which she converted into money.
Looking at the gold in the girl's hand, the blacksmith hesitated for a moment, then simply took the girl to the warehouse, "Girl, I think you can just play around. Here are some of the finished products I make on a daily basis. Although it’s not too much, it’s enough to satisfy your heroine addiction.”
Weapons of various shapes are placed in the warehouse, including swords, guns and sticks. There are some unpolished iron billets piled in the corner of the wall.
Zhang Queer glanced casually, and was about to refuse, when suddenly he looked at one of the long swords as if he had a feeling in his heart.
......
On the other side, Erliang, who had bought good things, was walking out of the door when a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Eh? Aren't you that... little beggar?"
The carriage raised a corner on the street, and Zhou Xiyue stared at Erliang walking out of the shop in surprise.
