But Guan Heng was tossing and turning on the bed excitedly at this time, thinking to himself: "After such a long time, Qinghuang can finally wake up. I really can't wait, hehehe..."

I don’t know how long it took, but fatigue came over me, and Guan Heng fell asleep... When he was drowsy, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door: "Dong dong dong, dong dong dong."

"Sir, it's time to get up. Didn't you say you wanted to get out early?"

"Uh? Is it dawn yet?" Hearing Ruotao's shout, Guan Heng opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight suddenly shone on his face.

"Squeak." He stretched out his hand to open the door. He looked at Ruotao and Tianlin and said, "You two sisters, it's so early for you."

"What's so early? You've almost slept until the morning." Tian Lin said angrily: "We agreed that we must arrive at the royal capital today, and I have to find the murdered merchant, Uncle Wan.

'Where's the family?"

"By the way, you said before that Mr. Wan and his merchant family live in the suburbs near the capital of King Chong." When he heard the other party talking about serious matters, Guan Heng slightly chinned: "Okay, let's go there first."

"Uncle Wan has talked to me before. The homes of their five merchants are all in the 'Gufeng Village' in the suburbs." Tian Lin said at this moment: "No matter what, I have to first determine the current situation of their family members.

.”

Guan Heng and Ruotao said at the same time: "Yes, it makes sense."

At this time, Guan Heng glanced at the bamboo basket he was carrying. He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said: "Since it's getting late, call Brother Agou quickly and let's prepare to go out."

"Hehehe, I have been waiting here for a long time." Agou was leaning against the low wall not far away and said, "Actually, we are just waiting for you."

"Guan Heng, everyone." The Yan brothers and their wives walked out of the kitchen with two bundles. Yan Xing handed the things to Tian Lin: "Here, these are noodles and preserved meat for everyone on the way.

Eat."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Tianlin happily accepted the things, and Yan Ba ​​said again: "Friends, you have saved the lives of my two brothers many times. It is superfluous to say any words of gratitude, but there is one thing we will keep in mind. As long as you say a word

In other words, even if the Yan brothers go up mountains of swords and down seas of fire, they won't even frown at all."

"Hahaha, if you have brothers, that's all you need." Guan Heng and Agou both smiled, and finally said goodbye to the Yan brothers, and took their two daughters down the mountain.

…

A short while later, on the road leading to the capital of Chongguo, Guan Heng said with a smile: "Huh, we are finally reaching the capital. It took a lot of hard work for us to walk this way."

Ruotao chin slightly: "Young Master is right."

Tian Lin rushed to the side and said, "But I also made a lot of friends."

"In addition, we have also forged a lot of hatred." Agou poured cold water on him at this moment, and said expressionlessly: "There are many black-qi tyrants or strong men among them."

"Ahem, Brother Dog, it seems a bit embarrassing to say such things now." Guan Heng scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Can't you talk about something happy?"

"Well..." After hearing what he said, Agou really lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "By the way, I ate a lot of delicious food along the way. Is this a good thing?"

Guan Heng and the two girls laughed in unison: "Of course, this is a great good thing for you, hahaha——"

…

The group of people walked for less than half an hour, and saw the outline of the city appearing in front of them. They couldn't help but feel happy. At this moment, the sound of "ta-ta-ta-ta" horse hoofs was heard in the distance.

Guan Heng looked up and saw a stout man riding a horse. The horse was running very fast. When he arrived in front of everyone, Guan Heng gave the opponent a fist and said, "Brother, please."

"Hahaha, little brother, please." The man smiled and spoke with a loud voice. It was obvious that he was born with a loud voice. He said, "What can I do for you?"

"I want to ask you something, brother. I wonder how to get to Gufeng Village on the outskirts of the capital?"

"Gufeng Village?!"

When the sturdy man heard these three words, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything else. He pointed to a deserted path in front of him on the left and said: "Here, keep going along this road.

, is the entrance to Gufeng Village."

"That's it. Thank you for your advice, brother." After hearing Guan Heng's words, the man smiled innocently. He grabbed the horse's reins and said, "Looking at the kindness of my little brother, let me say one more thing. When you pass by, be more careful. I will first

Let’s take a step forward.”

After saying this, the sturdy man rode away on horseback.

Tian Lin next to her muttered inexplicably: "This elder brother is very kind, but he asked us to be more careful. What's going on?"

"I have a bad premonition." Guan Heng looked at the other person's disappearing back, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Gufeng Village quickly and have a look."

…

A few moments later, everyone arrived near the small village. When they saw it, they were suddenly shocked. There were ruins everywhere, and traces of the fire were everywhere.

"It's sparsely populated, and almost all ten houses are empty." Agou walked beside and said, "It seems that this village has just suffered a disaster. You see, the signs of house collapse are very new. It should have been caused in the past few days.

"Is this a natural disaster or a riot?"

Hearing Tian Lin's surprised words, Guan Heng sighed and said, "Whether it's a natural disaster or a disaster, I hope Wan Lao and his relatives are fine at this time."

"That's right." Tian Lin chin slightly, she suddenly pointed forward and whispered: "Look, there is someone there."

More than ten feet away, there was a middle-aged woman with a disheveled face and ragged clothes digging around in the ground, seemingly trying to find some wild vegetables to satisfy her hunger. She was in a daze until Tian Lin shouted, and then she looked up in surprise.

Watch.

"Ah." Seeing the appearance of the ghost-eating tiger and the corpse horse, the woman trembled with fright, and immediately dropped the hoe and broken basket in her hands to the ground.

"Uh... uh..." The person didn't say anything, and turned around and ran away in a panic. Tianlin turned over and got off the red horse. She shouted loudly: "Hey, aunt, we don't mean any harm.

Just looking for someone."

The shout was heard far away in an instant, but the woman turned a deaf ear and just staggered towards the front and ran away.

"What's going on with this guy? He doesn't even listen to me." Tian Lin got angry and started chasing after her. Guan Heng and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they all walked over.

"Plop." The woman panicked for a moment and tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. At this time, Tianlin had already rushed over. She saw a wound on the woman's forehead, and blood was dripping. She hurriedly tore off one of her own

Bandage the other party's clothes.
