Ten days have passed since the night when Fazhi passed away.

Qingyan found a hidden and secluded place in the bamboo forest that night and buried Fazhi. As for the corpse of the hall master, Qingyan, did not deal with it, he knew in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, the deaths of these two people would be counted on him, so it doesn't matter whether he or not he is dealt with.

Although I thought that if this matter was spread, there would definitely be a smart person who could see the strangeness, Qingyan believed that if the force capable of setting up such a killing situation would definitely be flawlessly putting the shit basin on his head, so after saying goodbye to Lao Zhang's tomb, he resolutely embarked on the road to Putuo Mountain. Only when he arrived at Zhanlu Temple could all this be solved and he had a glimmer of life.

Qingyan dared not walk the official road openly, and there was not much money to buy a horse. Even a donkey was strictly controlled in the borders of South Zhao. So he could only touch the path and head south. When he was hungry, he would pick some wild fruits, and when he was thirsty, he would look for a stream. He would never show up easily unless he had to.

At this time, all his belongings, except for a fifty taels of silver bill and some broken silver, were the wounded medicine left by Fazhi and his short knife.

Just after noon, I had been walking for three hours in a row. I saw a tea shed next to the official road from afar. After weighing the pros and cons, I walked over.

The teahouse guy was looking at the sky boredly when he suddenly saw a guest coming to the door, so he came to greet him diligently.

When he saw that the visitor was extremely down and went to most of his interest, he said in a gull: "Our place is not the government's porridge shop. Everything is clearly marked and the price is not deceptive. What should the guest officials come to."

‘Dangling’

A piece of silver fell on the table, and Qingyan said lightly: "Eat, drink."

The guy didn't expect that this young man, who was not much better than a beggar, was so generous. He was naturally happy and lived up to his previous civilian face. He stepped forward enthusiastically to wipe the tables and chairs for Qingyan, and smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, the things will come soon."

After saying that, he quickly picked up the silver and trotted towards the kitchen. After a while, a pot of rice wine, a plate of cooked beef and three steamed buns were brought up.

"Keguan, our store is small, so there is no big fish or meat. There are still wars in the north now. Hehe, but don't worry, this rice wine is made by your own, and the beef was just slaughtered yesterday. It's very fresh, so you can eat it with confidence. The small ones will go down here. If you still need it, just call me." After that, he stepped aside.

Qingyan was not polite either, so he grabbed a steamed bun and started eating.

Of course, when the guy entered the kitchen, Qingyan had already followed him quietly, and he could be sure that there was no problem with these wines and dishes, so he had no scruples to eat.

Thinking of these days, I have never seen a steamed bun, let alone wine and meat. And now I have been away for ten days and I think I have already left the most dangerous area, so I have weighed it and decided to have a good meal.

After having a feast, Qingyan drank yellow wine while thinking about the road ahead.

The noon sun shone on Qingyan's body, illuminating the handsome face of the 18 or 19-year-old boy with a slight vicissitudes. He looked at the lush green beside the official road from afar and sighed softly.

"Man."

"Hey, lord, you call me?"

After Qingyan summoned his friend, he asked, "Mr., do you know how to walk from here to Yangzhou?" The friend replied, "Celebrity, although the villain has never been to Yangzhou, I heard from tourists that there are two roads to go to Yangzhou. This is to go south to Shunjiang River in Qichang County. The second is to go east through Qiongzhou and Jiangzhou, and then south across the river. As for how many days it takes to reach Yangzhou, the young one is not clear."

Then he remembered something and said, "Customer, don't blame the villain for being too talkative. I don't know whether the above two roads are safe or not, but you must not go southeast."

"Well, I know that the southeast is Tieli Mountain, and it is said that it is very dangerous inside."

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance interrupted the conversation between the two.

Qingyan quickly put down the wine bowl, moved quickly to the edge of the tea shed and looked over. He saw more than ten riders appearing at the end of the official road, and the dust flying beside it showed how fast they were.

Without any hesitation, Qingyan took out all the remaining silver on his body and handed it to the guy who was watching the fun, and said, "My man, you can take these silver. I don't need you to do anything else. I just need to stay in your kitchen for a while. If someone asks me, you will say you have never seen it before. Do you understand?"

The guy was a little confused by this sudden change, but the weight of the silver in his hand was particularly real, so he didn't say nonsense, saying, "I understand, please go in."

Qingyan nodded, then picked up all the dishes and plates on his table before and entered the kitchen. After entering, Qingyan pushed the wooden door open a gap and waited quietly.

After half a cup of tea, I heard a neighing sound of horses outside the tea shed. After seeing the person's face clearly through the crack in the door, Qingyan's heart sank.

The leader was the deputy hall of Shengniutang, and the rest of the people were also the best-ranked players in Shengniutang. Qingyan couldn't help but curse himself for being so careless. He didn't expect that Shengniutang would be so generous in order to chase him.

Generally speaking, the forces in the world seem to be unrestrained, but insiders understand that although they say that the world is in the world, if they do it too much, the court will never sit idly by. Just say that these more than ten people are horses, Qingyan didn’t know that there are dozens of horses in Shengniutang, but never showed it so easily. They usually go out to do one or two horses, so as now, they are running on the official road, either reaching a consensus with the government or chasing themselves without any scruples.

Just as Qingyan was thinking secretly, Zhang Jian had already brought people in. After looking around, he took out a portrait and asked at the clerk: "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen this person?"

Without looking closely, Qingyan knew that the person in this portrait was definitely him.

The guy pretended to look at it, then shook his head and said, "This uncle, the young man has never seen this person." He also saw that Zhang Jian showed bad face and quickly explained, "You don't know anything about it. There are not many customers in our teahouse a day, so anyone who visits our small shop will remember his appearance."

Zhang Jian may have been cautious and said in a deep voice: "I might as well tell you the truth. I am Zhang Jian, the deputy hall of Shengniutang in Fanning City. The person in this portrait is a traitor to my Qingzhu Gang. If you hide anything, there is no need to say more about the consequences." As soon as he finished speaking, the followers behind him took their swords and took their steps forward.

Qingyan's heart skipped a beat.

I have calculated it all, but I actually forgot that the Qingzhu Gang has a very high image and prestige among the common people. I either pave the way for the people or assist the court in arresting important criminals. Now Zhang Jian has shown his identity openly, which seems to be awful!

Sure enough, when the guy heard that these people were from Qingzhu's gang, he lived up to his previous timidity. After weighing the pros and cons, he carried the kitchen door and gave the deputy hall master a wink.

Seeing the clerk's hint, the deputy hall master's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He thought that he had worked hard for several days and finally got blocked.

After quietly making a gesture to his subordinates behind him, everyone slowly leaned in. When they arrived in front of the door, Zhang Jian kicked open the wooden door and rushed in.

The kitchen was not big, except for some mess, there was no Qingyan figure. Zhang Jian was about to turn around and question the guy, but suddenly heard a horse ringing sound from outside the tea shed.

"No, that kid wants to escape!"

-------------------------(dividing line)

Besides, when Qingyan saw Zhang Jian bringing people to touch him, he was helpless for a moment. He thought that he was too hasty when he came in, and even forgot to observe the surroundings.

There is no window here!

Just as Qingyan was about to make a desperate attempt, he saw a cellar entrance on the ground in the corner of the wall. With a gamble, Qingyan opened the wooden board and jumped in.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the cellar actually leads to a wooden railing outside the tea shed, and Zhang Jian and his group’s horses are not far away.

God-given opportunity!

Qingyan rolled over the horse without hesitation and galloped towards the south. Zhang Jian watched Qingyan run far away without saying nonsense, and then he chased after him without saying anything.

Although he was just a little bit of equestrianism, Qingyan didn't care much at this time. Even though the fast-moving horse was slamming his butt, he could only shook the whip when he looked closer and closer.

I don’t know how long it took to run, but the two sides had already run for hundreds of miles. Let’s put it aside. This horse is not a war horse after all, and Zhang Jian did not save any horsepower in order to chase Qingyan before, so Qingyan’s horse was gradually losing support, and some white foam appeared in his mouth.

Zhang Jian and his team's situation was not much better, but neither side dared to relax at all.

Just as Qingyan was gradually despairing, he looked at the huge mountains that stretched between heaven and earth in the southeast direction. He was shocked and turned his horse's head and ran away.

The pursuers behind him naturally would not give up, and they would turn the direction and follow closely behind.

When Qingyan barely drove his horse to the foot of the mountain, the horses under him had already lost their strength and spit out white foam. But Qingyan did not hesitate and ran towards the mountain in three steps.

Zhang Jian and his group's horses were almost at their limit and could not ride up the mountain any longer. So they also turned over and dismounted at the foot of the mountain. Then he shouted: "Don't worry about the horses, I'll chase them all. If we lose this traitor today, all of us will be cut alive by the rudder!"

This sentence made everyone feel awe-inspiring. They all used all their strength to follow Zhang Jian to chase him.
