Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 294 Chapter 304: Subduing Chen Song

Seeing the bewildered look on Li Hao's and the others' faces, shopkeeper Lin was taken aback again, and asked in surprise, "Don't you three know?"

"What should we know?" Li Hao blinked at Shopkeeper Lin.

"Then let me tell you another rule of our inn." Shopkeeper Lin suddenly became interested, and said, "Our inn has only accepted rivers and lakes since its establishment. Anyone who enters the inn for the first time, You must show your skills to prove your martial arts. Another rule of our inn is that an innkeeper will be selected every month, and the innkeeper can eat and stay in our inn for free."

"Wow, there are such good things!" Zhu Ruihuan was ready to move when he heard the words, "I will be the owner of the inn."

"Being an innkeeper is not so easy." Shopkeeper Lin said, "The way to choose an innkeeper is very simple. Since they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, of course it is decided by martial arts. The ranger's challenge, if you win in the end, you will be re-elected as the owner of the stack, if you lose, you will abdicate and give way to the virtuous."

"Then what does this have to do with the person I drew?" Li Hao asked, "Could it be that he is your innkeeper?"

"Exactly." Shopkeeper Lin said calmly, "This man's name is Chen Song, and he has been the innkeeper of our inn for a year."

"Oh? Chen Song? The innkeeper who has been in office for one year?" Li Hao immediately became interested when he heard the words, "It seems that this person has extraordinary martial arts skills."

"It's extraordinary." Shopkeeper Lin said, "Before Chen Song, no one had ever been elected four times."

"So difficult?" Li Hao exclaimed, and suddenly realized that the topic was a bit far away, so he hurriedly asked, "Is Chen Song in the inn now?"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Lin said, "But he hasn't been out of his room for the past two days, even the food, I delivered it to his door."

"It's a bit abnormal." Zhu Ruihuan rubbed his chin and pondered after hearing this.

"It's a little bit." Shopkeeper Lin said slowly, "This Chen Song is addicted to alcohol. He used to get drunk every day and never left his hand. But recently, he hasn't asked me for a drink for three days."

Li Hao frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Tell me about the specific situation of Chen Song carefully, and tell me everything you know."

"This..." Shopkeeper Lin showed embarrassment when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Li Hao took out a bronze token, waved it in front of shopkeeper Lin, and said coldly: "Dali Temple investigates the case, please cooperate with the investigation, otherwise your inn may not be open soon."

"Ah!" Shopkeeper Lin was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said repeatedly, "The villain said, the villain tells everything he knows, and the official calms down, calms down."

Li Hao was secretly proud that his token was actually the token of Honghe Temple, which was very similar to the token of Dali Temple, but the characters on it were different. Li Hao blocked the word "Honglu" with his fingers, so he was afraid that shopkeeper Lin would open it. He failed to check with his fingers.

Shopkeeper Lin told Li Hao honestly what he knew about Chen Song's situation, including what Chen Song said when he was drunk.

Li Hao sighed softly after listening: "This is a person with a story."

Shopkeeper Lin asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the official, what did this Chen Song... do?"

"You don't need to know about this." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Today's evening, you find an opportunity to drive him away. I want to bring someone to arrest him. You don't want your inn to be affected, do you?"

Shopkeeper Lin's face changed abruptly when he heard the words, and said: "My lord, if he insists on not leaving, what should I do? His martial arts are so high..."

"You don't have to worry about this." Li Hao said slowly, "You just need to tell him that Dali Temple has sent someone to investigate him, and he will not dare to live here anymore, and what happens after that has nothing to do with you .”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Shopkeeper Lin took out a small golden barley from his sleeve pocket, stuffed it into Li Hao's hands, and said with a smile on his face, "Take it well, don't be too little, the officials are on duty. Work hard, buy some wine and drink."

"It's so embarrassing." It was the first time Li Hao was bribed by others, he was a little excited, he said he was embarrassed, he had already put the gold in his sleeve, the fly's legs are also meat, how can he be the richest man if he is not greedy for money Woolen cloth.

Li Hao and the others ate and drank in the inn, and then left the Jianghu Inn, but did not stay here, because it was unnecessary, Lin Dingkun went back to call Lu Yun, Li Hao and Zhu Ruihuan were waiting in the teahouse opposite the inn, before the sun set , Lu Yun came, seeing that he was walking steadily, he didn't look like he was injured on his leg, but only Li Hao knew that Lu Yun was actually carrying it hard. The wound he treated for Lu Yun himself was naturally clear, such a deep sword wound, It is impossible to recover without rest and recuperation for more than ten or twenty days.The reason why he called Lu Yunlai this time was to frighten Chen Song, lest the two sides use force, and they would have to deal with it again. If the guards in the city discovered it, it would be troublesome. Don't do it, how tired.

Just as Lu Yun entered the teahouse and sat down to take a sip of tea, Zhu Ruihuan suddenly shouted excitedly: "Come out, come out."

Li Hao and the others hurriedly came to the door of the teahouse, quietly looked at the door of the Jianghu Inn, and found that Chen Song came out of the inn with his luggage on his back, and headed northward with his head bowed in a big bamboo hat.

"Er Dou has good eyesight, you can recognize him even wearing a bamboo hat." Li Hao praised Zhu Ruihuan, and said, "Er Dou, follow him, remember, don't get too close, so as not to be discovered."

"Okay." Zhu Ruihuan responded excitedly, and walked out the door quickly.

Lu Yun suddenly said, "I'll go too."

Li Hao frowned upon hearing this, and asked worriedly: "Your legs..."

"This little injury is nothing." Lu Yun said calmly, and took big strides to catch up with Zhu Ruihuan.

Watching the two of them leave, Lin Dingkun asked, "Master Hou, what are we doing?"

"Drink tea first." Li Hao smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when it gets dark."

As night falls, the night market has started, but the night market in Yongyangfang is not very lively. The night market has only been going on for half an hour, and there are only two customers left in the teahouse, Li Hao and Lin Dingkun. At this time, the shopkeeper came over and smiled and apologized: "Two customers I'm so sorry, sir, we're closing."

"Okay, we should go too." Li Hao said and made a look at Lin Dingkun.

Lin Dingkun took out a few copper coins and handed them to the shopkeeper. The two walked out of the teahouse and followed the mark left by Lu Yun to find it.

In the middle of the night, Chen Song slept in the firewood room of the Baiyun Inn, next to the stables, it was very smelly, but he didn't care, as a swordsman and a killer, he had experienced many inhuman trials and training, this smell It's really nothing to him.

It was already late at night, but Chen Song didn't feel sleepy. He was thinking about what he should do. Now that Chang'an City is heavily guarded, it is impossible for even a fly to fly out. If you want to escape, it is impossible. In Chang'an City, how to hide until the limelight passes.

At this moment, Chen Song suddenly sat up in shock. He heard movement outside, someone had entered the backyard, so he hurriedly picked up his bag and rushed out of the firewood room. At the foot of the courtyard wall stood a young man in green clothes, with his white teeth grinning. Smile at him, a little bit badly, and a bit mean.

Without further ado, Chen Song jumped onto the roof. As soon as he got on the roof, his feet were not steady, and a Tang saber slashed down head-on, with force and speed like the wind. Downward, to the ground.

When Li Hao saw this, he also exclaimed. If he fell like this, he must hit the ground head first. Even if the room is very low, he would be dead.

However, Li Hao really underestimated Chen Song. When he was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly put his hands on the ground and flicked hard. He jumped up and stood firmly. However, the sleeve of his right arm was already stained red with blood. Obviously, the force was too much just now, and the wound burst open.

Facing Li Hao, Chen Song took a step back with his right foot. When he came here during the day, he had already carefully observed the environment here. There was a tree behind him. Through that tree, he could go up to the roof of the restaurant, but he Suddenly he stopped his feet again, because he heard someone coming from behind.

Chen Song turned around slowly, only to see Lu Yun and Lin Dingkun dressed in black coming from two directions, and stopped a foot away from him.

"It's you!" When Chen Song saw Lu Yun, he immediately recognized the masked man who fought against him that night.

"It's me." Lu Yun nodded calmly, pointed at Li Hao, and said, "My Lord Hou wants to see you."

"Master Hou?" Chen Song turned his head and frowned at Li Hao, his whole body was on alert.

Li Hao didn't talk to Chen Song immediately, but looked at Lu Yun and asked, "Lu Yun, are everyone in the restaurant asleep?"

"They're all asleep." Lu Yun said, "Every room is blown with incense, and they slept like pigs."

"That's good." Li Hao nodded in satisfaction, walked a few steps forward, stood four feet in front of Chen Song, and said with a smile on his face, "Let me introduce myself, I am Li Hao, Hou of Lantian County, and I am a poetic fanatic."

"You are Li Hao?" Chen Song's tone was a little surprised.

"Hey, you've heard of me!" Li Hao said with joy when he heard the words, "How about it, am I famous?"

Chen Song frowned at Li Hao's cheap appearance. He didn't relax his vigilance at all, and asked coldly, "Why did you arrest me? To receive a reward?"

"Receiving a reward? A joke." Li Hao sneered, "To be honest, I really don't like the emperor's reward. Also, I want to correct one point. I'm not here to arrest you, I'm here to recruit you."

"Success me? Huh, it's up to you?" Chen Song's tone was very contemptuous, which made people very uncomfortable.

But Li Hao said with a smile in line with the principle of courteous corporals: "Don't look down on people like this, come on, let's make a bet, if you win, I will let you go, if you lose, you will be my subordinate in the future, and obey my orders ,how?"

Chen Song also had no choice, so he asked, "How to bet?"

Li Hao turned his head and looked around, and found that there were two blue bricks at the foot of the courtyard wall, the big one was a complete brick, and the small one was only half a brick. He walked over and took the two bricks, and said with a smile: "Let's Make a bet with these two blue bricks, guess if the two blue bricks are dropped from the same height at the same time, which one will hit the ground first?"

"Of course the big one hit the ground first." Chen Song replied without hesitation.

Li Hao asked with a smirk on his face, "Are you sure? If you get the wrong answer, you should accept the bet."

Chen Song said coldly: "Of course I'm sure, you don't want to lie to me."

"Okay, then I'm going to lose it." Li Hao picked up the blue brick with both hands, lifted it high, kept the two bricks at the same height, and still looked at Chen Song with a smirk.

"Throw it away!" Chen Song shouted heavily.

Li Hao let go of both hands at the same time, and saw the two blue bricks fall at the same time, with a "pop", and fell to the ground at the same time, and there was only a sound of landing.

"This...how is it possible!" Chen Song was dumbfounded.

Li Hao picked up the blue brick with a smile, threw it to Chen Song, and said, "Check it out, so as not to say that I did something wrong."

Chen Song reached out to take the blue brick, checked it over and over again, and found nothing unusual, it was the simplest blue brick. He also followed Li Hao's example, lifting the two blue bricks to the same height and throwing them away, "Pfft ", they still fell at the same time, he didn't believe it, tried again, they still fell at the same time, he tried seven or eight times in a row, each time the result was the same, Chen Song suddenly doubted life a little.

"How could this happen!" Chen Song looked at the blue brick in his hand in despair.

Li Hao asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to be willing to admit defeat or play lazy? Or... let's not count this bet, and make another bet."

"No need." Chen Song threw away the blue brick, his expression gradually recovered, and he said calmly, "I am willing to admit defeat, and I will be your subordinate in the future, running for you."
