Chapter 346 [Ancient City] (1)

They arrived at the town of Bolu in the evening that day. The town was not big, but it was already prosperous in this area. I asked the local villagers that there were only more than fifty miles from here to Huizhou. They considered that if they went there overnight in the dark, although they could arrive before dawn, it was not wise to move forward in the rain. They also heard that there would be a market here early tomorrow morning, and after the market opened, they could buy horses for transportation, so they simply stayed here for one more night.

Every household in the town of Bianlu made a living. There was a blacksmith shop next to the inn where they stayed. Zhang Changgong went to take a look and found that the blacksmith had good skills, so he bought some arrowheads and a machete.

When I was paying, I saw a team of more than ten people coming here in the rain. The leader went into the blacksmith shop, took off his raincoat, and was dressed in a military uniform.

Zhang Changgong couldn't help but take a look. These soldiers were all regulations of the northern Jiangxi army. Thinking of the biggest suspect in kidnapping the Hong family's grandson this time, Zhang Changgong felt more and more that these soldiers appeared in Huizhou.

Those people came over to change the horseshoe and had a very arrogant attitude. The blacksmith's answer was a little unsatisfied and the officer in charge was slapped two big mouths. Zhang Changgong looked at him and felt angry, but he knew that he could not cause unnecessary trouble because of his momentary indignation.

Back at the inn, Zhang Changgong told Luo Lie what he had seen just now. As he was talking, the group of soldiers walked in again. After all, this was just a small town. There was only one inn where they lived in the town. Passersby had no other choice to stay.

Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong were having dinner at the table by the window. The soldiers sat down in two tables, a total of fifteen people. The person who looked like an officer looked at them and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Changgong. He had just seen Zhang Changgong in the blacksmith shop.

Zhang Changgong pretended not to see him, but unexpectedly the officer pointed at him and said, "Big man, why are you following me?"

Zhang Changgong turned his face and said, "I'll come first, this military master."

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers had already touched the pistol at the same time. Seeing that the momentum was not good, the inn owner hurried over and said, "Dear uncles, they are all customers of the shop. Meeting is fate. Don't hurt the harmony, don't hurt the harmony." Compared to hurt the harmony, he was more worried that the conflict would break his shop.

The officer was unreasonable and stood up to Zhang Changgong to try to attack. Luo Lie picked up the teacup and swayed it gently. The amber tea in the teacup quickly formed a whirlpool under his sway, but no drop was spilled out.

The officer looked at the vortex, and his originally angry eyes suddenly became confused. Zhang Changgong looked at the scene in front of him with interest, and the officer was obviously hypnotized.

Luo Lie said: "You remember him, he is your eldest brother Zhang."

The officer followed Luo Lie's gaze and looked at Zhang Changgong, and a foolish smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang!"

Everyone was already confused by the sudden change in front of them.

Zhang Changgong said: "Who are you?"

"I am Guo Deliang, I am your brother, why did the elder brother forget me?"

In the eyes of outsiders, everyone thought that Guo Deliang had just made a joke with Zhang Changgong, and no one knew that he had been hypnotized by Luo Lie in this moment.

Zhang Changgong smiled and said, "So it's you guy."

Luo Lie said: "Sit down!"

Guo Deliang obediently pulled a stool and tucked it under his butt.

Luo Lie said: "Drink two drinks."

Guo Deliang grabbed the wine glass and poured it on himself. Sure enough, he drank two glasses obediently. Zhang Changgong almost laughed out loud when he saw this situation. Luo Lie's hypnosis technique was really powerful. Guo Deliang, who was still aggressive just now, is as obedient as a grandson. He will do whatever he asks him to do.

Zhang Changgong said: "What are Brother Guo doing here?"

Guo Deliang said: "Please ask for a doctor, our young coach is sick."

Guo Deliang's men all changed their faces when they heard his words, because this matter had risen to the level of military secrets for them. Guo Deliang gave them a special lecture in advance. As long as anyone reveals the news, they will deal with it according to military law. Unexpectedly, he was the first to reveal the news. Of course, these soldiers also heard Guo Deliang call Brother Zhang Changgong affectionately. It seems that the relationship between the two was extremely unusual, otherwise they would not have told him such a secret matter.

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Since these people are affiliated with the northern Gan Army, the young marshal they mentioned is naturally Ren Tianjun. Luo Lie originally listed Ren Tianjun as the biggest suspect, but now he heard that he was sick, he was stunned and whispered: "Is the young marshal's illness serious?"

Guo Deliang sighed and said, "It's serious, I've been bedridden for more than a month..." He seemed to remember something when he said this, and lowered his voice, "You must not talk about this matter."

Luo Lie nodded: "Where is the young marshal?"

Guo Deliang looked around again, and then said mysteriously: "Wuyuan Old Camp."

The walls of the ancient city of Huizhou were bathed in the rays of light. Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong rode into the city. The two bought two horses in the town of Hanluo. Although they were not a thousand-mile horse, they were strong and strong. The spring rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped, and the haze in the sky dissipated. The long-lost sunshine shone on the earth, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in milky white smoke.

Luo Lie did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. On the contrary, he and Zhang Changgong were riding in the crowd. Both of them were dressed in a furious manner, and they were standing out in a crowd. This time they wanted to act in a high-profile manner and they had to take the initiative to attract the attention of the layouters.

The two checked in an old store called Guiyun Villa in the city. As soon as they checked in, someone sent an invitation. Someone invited them to meet at Hongye Pavilion on Huixianglou tonight, but the signature was not signed.

No matter how cunning the fox is, he will eventually reveal his tail. Luo Lie believes that he has officially entered the game since he received this invitation. He put the invitation in front of his nose and smelled it: "The person who sent the invitation was actually a woman."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Changgong also took the invitation and smelled it like Luo Lie. The invitation really exuded a faint fragrance. The invitation itself was dyed with spices, which was not uncommon, but if you smell it carefully, there was another smell in addition to the aroma of the invitation itself. If you didn’t have a sensitive sense of smell, you would definitely not be able to distinguish the different smells of the two aromas.

Zhang Changgong Hunter was originally a good figure in his sense of smell, but his thoughts were far inferior to Luo Lie. If it weren't for Luo Lie's reminder, he would have ignored this detail.

Luo Lie called the waiter to ask, but the person who sent the invitation was a man. Luo Lie was extremely confident in his judgment and inferred that the person who invited them tonight was probably a woman.

Zhang Changgong said: "Do we want to go and check in advance?"

Luo Lie smiled and shook his head and said, "No need, you and my brothers join forces, even if they are in the dragon's and tiger's den, they can break through him back and forth."

In Huixiang Building Hongye Pavilion, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong arrived, there were people waiting there. When they saw the two of them coming, the man smiled and said, "Master Zhang, Master Luo, my master has been waiting for a long time."

Luo Lie noticed that this person was called Mr. Zhang first, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that this meal was not the Lord who invited him? No need to think too much now. When the two entered the Hongye Pavilion, they saw a woman standing in front of the window with her back, two hollow carved lattice windows on her left and right. The jade rabbit was rising in the night sky, and the moonlight covered her intact figure with a mysterious halo.

Zhang Changgong was shocked when he saw the back, and his expression seemed a little strange.

Luo Lie also recognized the woman as Hai Mingzhu, the leader of the Hailong Gang, Hai Liantian's precious daughter.

Hai Mingzhu slowly turned around. Now she is no longer as embarrassed as she was captured when she went out to sea. Her clothes are gorgeous and radiant, and she looks like a rich daughter. If she doesn't know her origin, who can connect her with the pirates?

Luo Lie still has some understanding of Hai Mingzhu's temperament. This woman is unruly and willful. She taught her a lesson last time she went to sea. Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong are also one of the few people who know her secret, but they will not show off.

When talking about this, we can't help but think of Lao An. The reason why Luo Lie was forced to leave Huangpu was because of Lao An's gift. All signs indicate that Lao An betrayed Bai Yunfei and defected to Ren Tianjun. Based on Luo Liedao's understanding of Lao An, the reason why Lao An did those things should be forced to do. In the final analysis, the crux of Hai Mingzhu should be. Hai Mingzhu appeared here definitely not by chance. Luo Lie first denied the possibility that she was the layouter.

Princess Hai Mingzhu smiled and said, "You can't think it was me, right?" She glanced at Zhang Changgong, then quickly turned her gaze to Luo Lie. Luo Lie caught the shyness in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Changgong. It seemed that Hai Mingzhu had indeed developed feelings for Zhang Changgong.

Luo Lie said: "What should Miss Hai do if she doesn't run to this mountain nest when she is on the sea?"

Hai Mingzhu looked at Zhang Changgong again and said, "I remember someone said he would wait for me in Huangpu, but after all, he just said nonsense. No wonder he said men's words were not counted."

Luo Lie laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Changgong's face was hot, and he promised Hai Mingzhu was himself. It was not that he was untrustworthy, but that things happened during this period were endless. But it was strange that he, who had always been calm, felt his heartbeat accelerating when he saw Hai Mingzhu.

Luo Lie has already understood from the situation on the scene that Zhang Changgong is the guest of honor today, and he is just accompanying the guest.

After the three of them sat down, Hai Mingzhu asked someone to serve the dishes. As the leader of the Hailong Gang, Hai Mingzhu was naturally generous and ordered extremely rich dishes.

After a few glasses of wine, Luo Lie said: "How did Miss Hai know that we are here?"

Hai Mingzhu said, "I happened to meet here for a chance. I happened to be here for fun. I didn't expect to see you. What a narrow road between enemies, right?" After saying that, she couldn't help laughing.

Luo Lie didn't believe that it was a coincidence, so how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Now it was Hai Mingzhu's turn to ask them. Hai Mingzhu looked at Zhang Changgong and said, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Changgong was obviously a little nervous and stuttered and didn't know what to say.

Luo Liedao: "Come and find someone."
