When Shen Rou heard Lin Zhanqing say that she would arrive at Shen Tiancheng in six or seven days, her expression became a little lonely. She lowered her head slightly, wondering what she was thinking.

Lin Zhanqing thought that Shen Rou was about to marry into her future husband's family. She was inevitably a little disappointed and confused, so she didn't say anything.

Dongfang Wan didn't care about anything, and he didn't care about Lin Zhanqing either. Since that day, Lin Zhanqing and Dongfang Wan kept their distance from each other, and the two of them could talk less and less.

In the past five or six days, the three of them have been safe and sound, and no one has come to die.

We were now approaching the border outside the customs. The three of them walked fifty miles through the deserted countryside and arrived at the Tianhai Pass, the only way to enter the customs.

It stands to reason that it is early spring now. However, it has always been cold outside the customs, and it is still the same as winter at this time.

It snowed just a few days ago, and it hasn't melted yet. The snow is piled up thickly on the mountains, on the roads, in the woods, and in the wilderness.

All the lakes are covered with smooth and flat ice, and the small towns passing by, whether they are blue bricks and gray tiles or gold-painted wooden buildings, are all dressed up in silvery white by the snow.

In this scene, everything that catches the eye is silvery white. The silvery white color has connected the heaven and earth with all things, and it seems to be a brand new and unknown world in a trance.

The three of them had lunch and led the horses for a walk in the snow. It wasn't that the three of them didn't dare to ride horses, but they slowed down a bit intentionally or unintentionally.

Unknowingly, snowflakes fell again.

This situation is exactly what it is,

Continuous snow falls one after another, and mist and clouds hit the sky.

The colors of the trees on Yinyin Mountain create a magical and harmonious scenery.

The three of them walked in the snow for a long time, their bodies covered with falling snowflakes.

Gradually the snow became lighter, and after a while, it stopped.

It was already late, and the three of them had to get to Tianhaiguan before dark. Otherwise, they would have to camp in the snow tonight.

There was no room for neglect, and the three of them galloped away on horseback. The horses of the three of them had just been replaced locally, and they were very familiar with the snow of Kanto. The running was almost the same as running on flat ground, but it was a bit more carefree and carefree.

Before dark, Lin Zhanqing and the others entered Tianhaiguan. The small town inside Tianguan was called Qinwangdao. The three of them stayed at an inn called Mengjiahui, and had nothing to do for the night.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when it was still dark and the three of them were sleeping soundly, there was a noise outside the inn.

"I said Boss Wang, this is not because we don't give face to our brothers, but we also have to eat. It's been a month, and the money for all the fish, meat, rice, noodles and vegetables in the inn has not been paid. If this continues, we can only figure it out ourselves. Already."

"Brother Zhang, I really didn't default on your debts on purpose. My son is doing medicine business in other places, but bad luck has hit him, and he suffered heavy losses this year. As a father, I saved some money to help my son with his small shop. Everything is operating normally. Please give me a few more days, and we will be able to turn around soon. I will settle the bill immediately."

"Boss Wang, Old Man Wang, do you think our brothers are running alms fields? In that case, don't blame us brothers for not being careful. Brothers, take a look at the good ones in the inn!"

The person who led a few people to scold him was the owner of the fresh food store that provided fish, meat, rice, noodles and vegetables to Mengjia's inn. His surname was Zhang, and he was in his forties. He was tall and thick-set, and he was bold and generous. The neighbors generally called him Zhang Dayu. He represents Big Fish. It means making a fortune and being generous.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dayu, who was always happy, would be so fussy today.

It is normal for a businessman to have difficulty with cash flow for a while.

What's more, it's only been a month, and Lao Wangtou, who runs the inn, and Zhang Dayu have been friends for many years. What happened today is really abnormal.

As expected, Zhang Dayu and a few brothers went straight to the third floor of the inn.

The third floor is where Lin Zhanqing and three other people are.

As if Zhang Dayu knew it in advance, he headed straight to the left hand side of the third floor. The two rooms of Lin Zhanqing and the others were on the left hand side of the third floor.

Lin Zhanqing lives in Room 318, directly opposite Room 325 of Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou.

Zhang Dayu brought a total of three men, all of them strong young men in their twenties. Two young men each kicked the door open.

The room was empty.

Zhang Dayu was suddenly surprised and said:

"not good!"

Zhang Dayu and several of his men hurried downstairs.

On the first floor of the inn, Lao Wang's head had fallen to the ground. Blood was slowly flowing out from the wound on his chest and slowly soaking into the stone slabs on the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Dayu ran out of the inn as if running for his life, and his men quickly followed suit. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The moment Zhang Dayu walked out of the inn door, a sword light flashed through. Zhang Dayu's head had been separated.

Before the men behind Zhang Dayu had time to react, the inn door had been closed. Then there was no sound. When the inn door opened again, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

The guests who were originally staying at the inn felt that there was no sound for a long time. It seemed that the danger had disappeared. They tiptoed and cautiously arrived at the first floor of the inn, only to see five or six corpses lying on the ground.

The inn owner Lao Wangtou, the fresh food shop owner Zhang Dayu, and several of Zhang Dayu's men all died here.

At this moment, Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou had left Qinwang Island and were riding horses in the countryside.

Shen Rou asked Dongfang Wan anxiously on the horse:

"Sister Dongfang, is Brother Lin okay after being alone?"

Dongfang Wan rode the horse without turning his head and said coldly:

"Don't worry, Sister Shen, those bastards are not enough for Junior Brother Lin to kill."

Although Dongfang Wanhua said so, there was still a trace of unnoticeable worry on his face.

It turned out that after the three of them noticed something moving, Lin Zhanqing quickly asked Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou to withdraw first, leaving him behind.

Time was running out and there was no time to discuss. Dongfang Wan hugged Shen Rou, rolled down the window and left.

Lin Zhanqing only said that he would catch up with the two of them, but there was no time to say anything else.

The two of them ran forward without stopping. The reason why they were in such a mess was not because they were worried that there would be some masters that they could not deal with. But in the town, it was difficult for the two of them to let go and take action. If there was too much movement, Alert the locals and close the city gate. After repeated delays, things will become extremely troublesome.

At this time, the city gate of Qinwangdao was indeed closed, and Lin Zhanqing was indeed locked up in the city, unable to come out for a while.

It's not that Lin Zhanqing couldn't climb over the city wall because of his lack of light skills. It's about what would happen if he climbed over the city wall in broad daylight? What unrelated master would regard Lin Zhanqing as a traitor and evil person?

Climbing over the wall during the day is really risky!

So Lin Zhanqing was waiting until it got dark. All he had to do was climb up the city wall and leave Qinwang Island. He didn't have to worry about it anymore. He just wanted to meet up with Senior Sister Dongfang and Shen Rou.

At this time, Qinwangdao was under martial law, and people in the city did not know what exactly happened.

Everyone only knew that Lao Wangtou, who ran the Mengjiahui Inn on the island, and Zhang Dayu, who ran the fresh food shop, were killed together with a few new waiters. Such a cruel murderer must not be let go.

The largest family in the area, the Wang family, which runs a goods store, immediately sealed the city gates of Qinwangdao. At the same time, all the martial arts masters in the city expressed indignation that no matter who did this, they must be punished.

No return.

Fortunately, no one saw Lin Zhanqing do it, otherwise it would have been very troublesome.

However, after the locals questioned the people staying at the inn several times, Lin Zhanqing and the others were naturally the biggest suspects. There was no need to have any doubts. The portraits of Lin Zhanqing and the others appeared on the streets of Qinwangdao half an hour later.

Alley.

Fortunately, it was already dark when Lin Zhanqing and the three of them stayed at the hotel, so they had no interaction with the people at the inn.

Therefore, the portraits of the three people are basically people who stayed in the inn. They couldn't stand the intimidation and inducement of the locals and talked nonsense. The locals drew the portraits after considering the descriptions of the inn owners. Not only do they look nothing like Lin Zhanqing and the three of them,

On the contrary, the more I look at it, the more awkward it becomes. It’s hard to say whether there is anyone with such a look in the world.

The portrait of Lin Zhanqing is that of a man in his twenties, with a very big nose and exposed nose hair. His eyebrows are bald and his small eyes are flat and slanted. The corners of his mouth are smiling and cleft close to the earlobes. Rows of canine teeth are sticking out.

Is this Lin Zhanqing's painting based on the appearance of the legendary evil ghost?

At this time, Lin Zhanqing, like other people in the city, gathered around the city gate where the portrait was posted. The people around were frightened by the portrait and trembled. They all muttered,

"With such a ferocious appearance, could it be that an evil spirit has entered the city?"

"Don't evil spirits only appear after dark?"

"Is it possible that this is a ghost king who is not even afraid of daylight?"

"The ghost king who can run rampant in the daytime?"

"There is no way for the people in the city to survive!"

With a shout, the onlookers quickly dispersed. Lin Zhanqing was among them.

Unlike everyone else in Qinwangdao, Lin Zhanqing didn't care how vicious and ugly the portrait was, how ghostly and inhuman it was.

On the contrary, Lin Zhanqing was extremely satisfied with the portrait. Even if he arranged for someone to paint it himself, it would be difficult to paint such an artistic portrait.

Lin Zhanqing found a teahouse, sat down and sipped tea slowly. When someone asked, he said that he was traveling outside the customs to visit the mountains and rivers.

Such unreasonable and illogical words will not arouse suspicion, because people with evil intentions will definitely make up a very good reason.

It may seem like nonsense, but there are indeed people who would do this. Under Lin Zhan's straightforward words, no one paid attention to him, a fool.

In this way, Lin Zhanqing got an opportunity.

First we drank tea in a teahouse, then went to a restaurant and ordered a banquet. We ate from morning to evening and drank two jars of the best daughter's red wine.

Lin Zhanqing seemed a little drunk after eating and drinking. He staggered and took out a piece of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper.

Then Lin Zhanqing staggered to go out, turning around and staggering a few times.

The restaurant owner really saw too much of these drunken people, so he quickly stepped forward to help her. It took a lot of effort to help Lin Zhanqing to the door of the restaurant.

The restaurant owner was worried that Lin Zhanqing was so drunk alone, so he kept asking Lin Zhanqing where his home was or where he was staying in the inn.
