What woman doesn't like treasures? And it is such a rare treasure, which is sent by the beloved. Fan min held the crystal stone in her hand. At this time, the crystal stone was no longer cold and became warm, which also filled her heart with sweetness.

The next day, Tang Yin set off for Yancheng. He was afraid of causing doubt on the road. He didn't bring too many people. He didn't bring anyone else except the three brothers of Shangguan, the 20 members of the hidden arrow whose accomplishments reached at least the spirit realm and more than a dozen disciples.

They were only more than 30 people, dressed up as business travelers and rode fast horses overnight.

From Tianguan to Yancheng, you have to pass through three counties, namely Guannan County, Jinguang county and Lehu county. Guannan county is close to Tianguan pass. Although the head of Guannan county has expressed his willingness to be loyal to Zhong Tian, after all, Tiangao emperor is far away. He said so, but in fact he did not pay for action, that is, he did not send troops to attack Tianguan pass or show hostility to Tianyuan County headed by Tang Yin. The whole Guannan county is still the same as before, and even the whole county has not been on alert. After passing Guannan, you enter the boundary of Jinguang county. The cities here are under martial law and curfew at night. The tense atmosphere gradually intensifies. When you enter Lehu County, you really feel the approaching of the war.

Lehu county is close to Yancheng. Once Zhong Tian and Tang Yin fight and enter, Lehu is Zhong Tian's starting place and retreat. Lehu is Zhong Tian's barrier. This county is very important to Zhong Tian. When Tang Yin stabbed Zhong Tian's envoy, the latter immediately removed the Sheriff of Lehu county and replaced him with Geng Qiang.

Geng Qiang is a general under Zhong Tian's command. In order to reach Lingyuan territory, Lingwu Xiu is brave and good at fighting. He is a fierce general. However, he is cruel, headstrong and doesn't understand internal affairs. He is not suitable to be a sheriff. Zhong Tian reuses him only because of his loyalty.

Since Geng Qiang became a prefect, the people of Lehu have been in dire straits. Geng Qiang controlled his speech with an iron hand and planted spies everywhere. Once he found that people talked about Zhong Tian with dissatisfaction, there was no need for trial. He either caught the government directly and beheaded him, or sent someone to assassinate him.

At that time, the speech was very open. Even ordinary literati and even ordinary people could directly go to the king and put forward their own opinions on national affairs. No matter whether the king accepted or not, they would never kill Shangshu literati or ordinary people. Now the situation in Lehu county has completely changed. One sentence can determine a person's life and death. In this highly tense environment, Everyone's nerves are stretched to the extreme. On the surface, people's dissatisfaction is suppressed, but in fact, it has been transferred to the dark. People hate Zhong Tian more and miss the openness of the wind king more.

When Tang Yin and his party entered Lehu County, they felt that the place had changed, not the scenery, but the people. In the past, Lehu county was bustling, with people coming and going, and business travel. Now, even in the daytime, they can't see a few people in the street. Instead, they are patrolling the street in teams of guards with spears.

The military uniforms of the guards have changed. Originally, the Feng army was dressed in black and black armour, but now it has become red and red armour. Looking at the new guards, Tang Yin sneered. It seems that Zhong Tian really plans to turn the Feng country into Peng country. The change of the national name and flag is not enough. Even the military uniform will change.

As the saying goes, if heaven wants it to die, it will drive it crazy.

Tang Yin and others found a restaurant after entering the city, ordered some food and filled their stomach first.

The restaurant was deserted, and the waiter dozed listlessly. Tang Yin and his party didn't wake him up recently.

Tang Yin glanced, then went directly into the store and sat down in front of a table near the window. Cheng Jin went near the waiter, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice, "wake up, wake up!"

The waiter vaguely opened his eyes and saw that so many people came to the store all at once. Some couldn't react. He asked, "are you..."

"Isn't this a restaurant? Of course, I've had dinner recently. Are you still doing business?" Cheng Jinmei twisted her head into a pimple.

The waiter finally woke up, smiled all over his face, nodded and bowed and said: "sit, sit, sit, please sit, what would you like to eat?"

Cheng Jin said, "first come a hundred steamed buns and fifty kilograms of beef. The top half of the beef is OK, and we'll take the other half away..."

The waiter grinned and said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry, sir, the shop doesn't have so much beef."

"What?" Cheng Jin raises her eyebrows. She only wants 50 Jin of beef, not 500 Jin. How can there be no such a big restaurant? He sneered and asked, "do you think we can't afford money and will eat overlord meal?"

"No, no, no, sir, I misunderstood." The waiter rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile, "Sir, look for yourself. Where are the guests in the store now? Few people can come all day, so the shop didn't prepare so much beef."

Cheng Jin blinked and looked around. Isn't it? There are only two diners in such a large restaurant with dozens of tables, in addition to his thirty people. You know, it's noon meal time, and it should be a time of booming business. He shook his head slightly and looked up at Tang Yin.

The latter said softly, "if you don't have one, you can serve whatever you have, as long as you can fill your stomach!"

Cheng Jin nodded and said to the waiter, "my eldest... You heard what the young master said?! go and prepare!" After saying that, he stuck out his tongue secretly and almost walked away. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and changed it in time.

"OK, sir, wait a minute!" The waiter promised and walked away quickly.

Cheng Jin sat down beside Tang Yin and whispered, "I didn't expect Lehu county to be like this in just a few months."

Tang Yin shrugged and sneered, without saying much.

It didn't take long. The waiter delivered steamed bread and side dishes one by one. The steamed bread was dry and hard. It couldn't be said that it had been put for a few days. The side dishes didn't taste very good. Everyone frowned while eating.

Because the food didn't fit, Tang Yin and others ate quickly. Just as they were about to finish eating, a team of officers and soldiers came near from the outside.

There are only a dozen officers and soldiers, like a patrol team. The head of a team leader's eyes were rolling around, and there was evil in his evil spirit, but his evil spirit was different from Tang Yin's evil spirit. Tang Yin's evil spirit was murderous and crazy, while his evil spirit was full of frivolity.

Cheng Jin and others were shocked when they saw officers and soldiers coming recently. Although they continued to eat, their other hand had been slowly put under the table, grabbed the saber hidden in their waist, and was ready to rescue as soon as there was something wrong.

Tang Yin is much calmer than others. Since the officers and soldiers recently, he didn't take a more look, didn't even lift his eyelids, and still lowered his head and ate the food quickly.

The captain looked around the restaurant, and then asked in a bad tone, "whose are those horses outside?"

With a sound of trouble in the secret way, Cheng Jin stood up and arched his hands at the team leader. With a smile, he said, "it's a villain's."

"Oh?" The team leader tilted his head, looked up and down at Cheng Jin and asked, "what are you doing with so many horses?"

"Villains are businessmen, and horses are naturally goods pullers."

"Pull goods?" The team leader snorted and smiled, walked up to Cheng Jin and said, "why didn't I see your goods?"

"It's all sold. We're going home now."

"Sophistry!" The captain sneered, "I think you are plotting against the law?"

Cheng Jin's eyes were clear and did not speak, but his hand had quietly touched the back of his waist and was ready to draw the knife. Tang Yin was behind him. He first grabbed his palm ready to draw the knife and squeezed it hard, indicating that he didn't need to do it. At the same time, Tang Yin also got up and said with a smile: "we are really doing business. We hope the general will be more convenient when we pass here." While talking, he took an extra ingot of silver and handed it to the team leader.

The team leader has never been called a general in his life. He is naturally very useful after listening to Tang Yin's words. Coupled with the silver handed to him, his gloomy face suddenly brightened up. Without leaving any trace, he took Tang Yin's silver and stuffed it into his belt, Then he pretended to say, "it's not peaceful recently. It's best not to come out during this period of time. Just stay at home!"

"Yes! What the general said is very true!" Tang Yin said with a smile.

The captain nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said, "don't be nervous, they are all ordinary business customers." For a ingot of silver, Tang Yin and others immediately changed from scheming to ordinary businessmen. It can be seen how powerful money is.

Hearing what the captain said, the soldiers put down their spears one after another, and their faces returned to normal.

The team leader picked up a steamed bread, took a bite, turned his head and spit it out. He still put the steamed bread aside and muttered, "what the hell." Then he went to the other two diners and asked, "what do you two do?"

"Junye, villains are also businessmen!"

"Oh? I don't think so!" The team leader turned his back and squinted at them.

These two businessmen are not as good as Tang Yin, and they can't give so much money. The two said repeatedly, "Jun ye, we are really businessmen, and there are vouchers..." as they spoke, they took out the merchant's unique running script from their arms and handed it to the team leader.

Seeing that there was no benefit from the two of them, the team leader was angry. He took the running script and tore it without reading it. He said coldly, "what nonsense running script, I think you two are ghosts!" As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted, "take these two people away and press them back for interrogation!"

"Yes!" The soldiers promised one after another, rushed forward, couldn't help saying, pressed down the two diners, tied their hands, pulled them out.

Shangguan brothers and Cheng Jin all frowned and subconsciously clenched their fists.

No wonder Lehu county is so depressed now. Most shops are closed. It's all caused by these running dogs.

Tang Yin was less indignant than others. After taking his seat, he whispered, "it's none of our business. Sit down and continue to eat."
