Republic of China

Chapter 88

noon.

On the streets of Fengcheng, the appearance of imported cars attracted the attention of countless people, who all speculated that some senior official or landlord had bought a new gadget.

Lao Kang and Lao Liu were wrapped in quilts and sleeping in the dark in the back seat, snoring one after another and pulling on each other like sawing wood.

Zhao Sanyuan didn't feel sleepy at all, but his waist and shoulders were really damaged.

It is true that riding in a car can minimize the pain of wind and cold, but the space for riding a horse is small. If you sit for a day or two, your body will be so hard that it will almost become a door board. I don’t know what the bodies of those two guys behind are. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping.

"We arrived two days earlier than expected. Shall we find an inn to rest and recuperate?" Shangguan Baitu's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was obviously a bit overwhelmed. The eldest girl drove the three gentlemen and kicked the accelerator. The clutch was on, and both legs almost lost consciousness.

Zhao Sanyuan opened the wine bottle and took a sip. He felt his body warm up again and replied, "You can live here if you want. You have to pay for it anyway."

Use it if you can, save it if you can, the best thing is for that old guy to show up in Yaowang Valley alive and well, and then everyone returns to Anshan happily, earning a hundred thousand dollars in tears and anger.

It's a pity that Shangguan Baitu didn't give him this chance.

"The secret letter stated that after arriving in Fengcheng, you will take charge of everything, so from now on, I will listen to you."

Looking into each other's eyes, Zhao Sanyuan looked at Shangguan Baitu carefully for the first time. At this time, she did not wear the hat made of unknown material.

Let's talk about her youth, her temperament is too sophisticated, especially her eyes that seem to be unfazed by anything.

You could say she was a eldest sister. There was really no trace of the years left on her face. Even though her voice was a little cold, it was obviously that of a young girl.

"You really listen to me?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go home and celebrate the New Year."

"very funny?"

"It's not that funny." Zhao Sanyuan put on his big cotton-padded jacket, put on his bullshit hat, opened the car door, and then turned around and said, "You guys stay in the car for now, I'll make a decision after I step on the plates nearby."

Most of the things that should be prepared were prepared before leaving Anshan. Because we didn’t know what we would encounter, it was the most complete preparation since we came down the mountain. All the things that could be used were loaded into the car.

But there are some things that cannot be prepared in advance, such as intelligence.

The meeting place was in the Yaowang Valley in the southwest of Fengcheng. Zhao Sanyuan and others had no knowledge of the place at all. They had to ask the locals what the topography was and how many ways there were to get in and out.

After drinking a bowl of hot Dazai porridge on the street, he learned that the largest inn in Fengcheng was the one on the street, with a particularly large flow of passengers from north to south, so Zhao Sanyuan decided to start asking around there.

What is surprising is that business is deserted, and there is no bustling scene near the end of the year.

People in Fengcheng don’t like to go out to restaurants?

When the owner at the counter saw a customer coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Are you guys from the cold? The little shop owner sells Liao and Shandong dishes that are of high quality and low price. I guarantee that you will be full of praise for them. Come on, please take a seat!"

Zhao Sanyuan was not polite. After he sat down, he generously handed out a 20-yuan gift, "Seven or eight dishes, and a few jars of old wine, the stronger the better. There are five drawers of white-flour steamed buns. We're not here to eat them. I want them all." take away."

The boss was shocked, thinking that he was worried that business would be bleak today, but unexpectedly a big customer came, God has a vision!

At this time, Zhao Sanyuan glanced at the wooden pillar next to the staircase.

Although the mark is very faint, you can still see blood stains about a foot away, with an obvious gap and small burn marks in it.

"Isn't it peaceful as the New Year is approaching?" Zhao Sanyuan pointed to the wooden pillar with a half-smile, "If I am not mistaken, there were thieves and blood here last night. No wonder your family's business is so bad in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month." The owner immediately said With a sad look on his face, he thought that Zhao Sanyuan wanted to leave due to his bad luck, but before he could persuade him to stay, the latter smiled and said: "I'm not that particular. Please tell me when you have nothing to do, which way is high?" How can a person stab a thief so hard?"

After seeing that the distinguished guest had no intention of leaving, the host's mind was at a loss, and he happened to feel aggrieved and wanted to find someone to chat with.

Then he warmed up a pot of Lao Shao and prepared a plate of beef with soy sauce. He sat next to Zhao Sanyuan and started chatting.

"Man, you have such good eyesight. It's not necessarily true that you were robbed. He must be a hero. He was in trouble and was being hunted down. He stole a roasted chicken in the middle of the night and ate it. But his enemies were not slow to come and came directly to our house. The backyard was blocked by him, and my son happened to see it and was almost beaten to death by those people. Fortunately, the hero saved my son."

The owner pointed to the pillar and sighed: "When I heard the noise and ran down, I saw two groups of people starting to fight. The good guys looked like living gods. Some had spears on fire in their hands, and some had spears on fire. Some waved their sleeves and the wind blew, and some even had several human faces growing on their chests and backs. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Sir, do you think there are really masters in this world who can control the wind and rain?"

Zhao Sanyuan was in a state of shock, but he still pretended to be surprised when he heard about it for the first time.

Those who play with guns are basically the ones with high heads, and those who are attacking are naturally the gangsters of Yiguandao.

But who can guarantee that this is not a trap set by Yiguandao?

If they know that Gao Shouliu has an 'insurance' and are here to deceive him, they will definitely become a target for killing if they ask questions rashly.

Let’s explore the tone again.

"Perhaps there is. At that time, the Great Master Guo Shouzhen of Jiuding Tiesha Mountain was still praying for rain. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Don't be like some people who think they have some ink in their stomachs and question this and that, toad. I’m not as happy as them, so just be in awe.”

The boss nodded in agreement, "Brother, I came from Guandong, and I also understand the principle of being in awe. For example, last night they fought in the backyard in darkness, even our pigsty collapsed and two old mothers were burned to death. Pig, I didn’t even dare to report this to the official, for fear that those experts would turn around and retaliate against me. Fortunately, they fought not long before the hero fled north."

Go north! ?

Zhao Sanyuan pretended to be emotional, "So that guy is really a hero. He can survive against many enemies. He must be a fierce man eight feet tall with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, right?"

"Hey~" The boss smiled and waved his hands, "Although I didn't see his appearance clearly, I can still tell his approximate height. He is about the same as me. He has only a few hairs, and he is so shiny under the moonlight. It’s hard to see.”

ten minutes later.

Zhao Sanyuan walked out of the inn, buying some couplets from this place and some New Year paintings from that place, and walked around for a while before returning to the car.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Shangguan Baitu was very surprised and did not see any intention of repairing it in Fengcheng.

After learning the collected intelligence from Zhao Sanyuan, she thought about how credible the intelligence was.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Zhao Sanyuan directly gave his opinion.

"If true, Gao Shou was chased from Lushun to Fengcheng, and he didn't get rid of the pursuers at all. Unless there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave, he would be killed sooner or later. There is no way he could escape all the way."

"If it's false, then it's a trap set by Yiguandao for us. But those idiots don't know our identity and appearance yet. They just want to rescue Gao Shou again. It's almost impossible. If we try hard, we'll die."

Shangguan Baitu agreed, but she was still undecided about what to do next, and it was not her turn to make the decision. From the moment she entered Fengcheng, everything had to be under Zhao Sanyuan's command. This was the high chief's strict order.

She took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Sanyuan to light it, "I will listen to you, even if I get the worst result."

Zhao Sanyuan was quite satisfied with this behavior and answer, "Our biggest advantage is that the journey has been shortened by two days. Neither Gao Shou nor Yiguandao's pursuers could have imagined it. Moreover, Gao Shou did not go to Yaowang Valley immediately but went north instead. Obviously I thought it would take us two days to arrive."

"what do you mean"

"Ha." Zhao Sanyuan smiled sinisterly, looking like he just couldn't hold it in, "Let's sing Zhuxian Town to those idiots!"

At this moment, a donkey cart selling New Year's goods passed by the car. Zhao Sanyuan lowered the window and waved warmly.
