In the inn, Song Jiang and others had enough food and food, checked out and prepared to leave.

Suddenly someone asked, "I heard that Wu Junzhi asked Liu Tang and Wang Ying to pick up Brother Ying Gongming, why haven't I seen him when I arrived in Xuzhou?"

After hearing this, Song Jiang did not think much: "It's okay, it's probably because he was delayed on the road. With all the brothers here, can Song Jiang still have trouble?"

The big black man next to him touched the pair of axes and said, "If you want to touch my brother Gongming, please ask if I agree to the axe in my Tie Niu's hand."

Everyone was amused by the man's simplicity and laughed a few times.

It was just afternoon, and it was still some time to dark. After packing up the things, everyone began to continue their journey.

Mingxia, who entered the city in Fuli County, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this small county town had no city gate tax, otherwise I really didn’t know what happened to Xu Ziling.

But the next moment, she was stunned again. Xu Ziling was walking through the crowd. As long as someone's purse was exposed, he leaned over and pretended to touch them, and secretly rolled their purse and purse into his sleeves.

Mingxia was afraid that he would be discovered if he continued like this, so she hurriedly went up and grabbed him.

After Mingxia grabbed his arm, Xu Ziling stopped, and suddenly felt annoyed in his heart. He swung his hand and pushed away Mingxia who was pulling him.

Mingxia was pushed back a few steps in a row, and a feeling of grievance surged in her heart.

Xu Ziling woke up after pushing and turned around and saw Mingxia with aggrieved look on her face. She felt very distressed: "Mingxia, I...I didn't mean it."

Ming Xia stared at him with peach blossom eyes for a while, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I know it's that strange poison that is causing trouble."

Looking at Mingxia's smile, Xu Ziling took a step forward and gently hugged her.

Mingxia suddenly blushed and reached out to push Xu Ziling away, but she couldn't push it, so she had to lower her head and hide it in his arms.

In this era, not to mention unmarried men and women, even married men and women, hugging on the streets, would be called "injustice" and "indignity".

"Miss!" someone suddenly called out.

Hearing this familiar voice, Ming Xia Shi was ashamed and struggled to break away from Xu Ziling's arms.

The owner of the voice was that even the maid Gu Yue'er they were looking for, he was flattening his mouth and looking at Xu Ziling angrily.

Xu Ziling scratched his head and smiled twice.

But the maid said to Mingxia Jiao: "Miss, do you know how to hug him on the street?"

Mingxia felt even more ashamed when she heard this and didn't know how to speak.

Xu Ziling couldn't bear it anymore and said to the maid: "Who, your lady and I have been urinating for life since childhood. What can I do if I hug you?"

The maid was immediately dissatisfied: "How can I take the fun of ignorant children seriously?"

Xu Ziling looked at Mingxia who was not talking and smiled and said, "Your lady is serious, of course, I will take it seriously, too."

The maid blushed and opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Mingxia chuckled softly and asked, "Yue'er, why are you here alone, Brother Liu?"

The maid replied, "Brother Liu recovered a few days ago and took a boat to Guangnan. He said he was going to Baihua Valley for medical treatment. I don't know where you are, Miss, so I can only wait for you here."

This was as expected by the two of them. As long as Liu Jingsheng's whereabouts were not known by the people from Liangshan, he killed the three Liangshan people just now, and this revenge should not be resolved.

Xu Ziling suddenly remembered what Wang Ying and others said about the stalking. Song Gongming and his group in the inn were also from Liangshan. If they followed them together, it would be difficult.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling hurriedly said to Mingxia: "Mingxia, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly."

Mingxia nodded and said to the maid: "Do you have any important things to take? Go and get them as soon as possible. We have to leave this place."

The maid shook her head: "I only have some clothes, if I'm anxious, I'll don't want it."

Xu Ziling said: "You can buy clothes when you go to Xuzhou City and leave this place first."

The maid and Mingxia nodded together.

On the rural road, Song Jiang and others were rushing to the road. When they passed a small slope, they saw three people lying on the ground in the distance. Song Jiang asked someone to check it out.

One of the people in the team rushed out and ran with their legs, as if they were not touching the ground. After counting breaths, they arrived at the place where the three of them were.

The man checked for a moment, then ran back in a panic expression and said to Song Jiang: "No, Brother Gongming, those three people were all killed. I only recognize one of the brothers Liu Tang, but the other two do not know that they should also be brothers from Liangshan."

Song Jiang's face darkened: "This is actually happening!" After that, he walked quickly into the distance.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

When he got to the corpses of the three, Song Jiang knelt down and cried, "Who hurt my brother's life? I, Song Jiang, and I, are incompatible with him!"

The few people felt unbearable and advised one after another: "We must avenge the three brothers. Brother, let's get up first, discuss how to find the murderer, and don't let the thief go away."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang wiped his tears and stood up and said, "Brother Dai Zong, please send someone to come and transport the bodies of the three brothers back to my waters and bury them for a lifetime."

The middle-aged man named Dai Zong responded and ran out like a meteor.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Brother Gongming, come and have a look."

After hearing this, Song Jiang hurried over.

But the man was looking at Liu Tang's body. Liu Tang's body was facing sideways before, but the man put his body flat and found the clue under his left arm.

Before he died, his left arm was pressed against the ground, and the four words "male and female" and "red sword" were written in blood. Although it was not very clear, he could recognize it. And even though his left arm was already cold, he stretched out two fingers.

Song Jiang looked at the words and frowned: "I think it was the clue left by Brother Liu Tang and us. Two fingers, man and woman, red sword. In this way, the murderer should be a pair of man and woman, one of whom used a red sword."

I suddenly remembered the men and women in the morning and said in a deep voice to the people behind me: "The murderer is the men and women who were in the inn at noon. Hurry up, notify the nearby brothers and pay attention to the men and women in the surrounding county towns. The young man has good martial arts skills. Remember not to act rashly."

The few people also woke up and nodded immediately, taking the order to leave. When they left, someone said to the big black man who stayed, "I'll go and pursue that pair of men and women, and Brother Gongming's safety will be covered by you."

The big black man slapped his chest: "Don't worry, Brother Gongming has lost a hair, just ask if I'm asking about my iron cow."

Only then did the few people leave with confidence.

On the other side, Xu Ziling and the other two had left Fuli County and headed towards Xuzhou. However, the two girls did not know martial arts and were not very fast, so the two Liangshan people who were originally following Gu Yue'er followed closely behind.

Xu Ziling turned around inadvertently and could see the two people. The two were also cunning figures. They knew that Xu Ziling had good skills, but they followed him from afar and did not dare to get too close.

Xu Ziling had no good idea about this, so he could only take one step at a time. If he took the risk to kill them, if he got the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and let the two girls fall into Liangshan's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liangshan and the other two were also old, and they kept marking along the way. The brothers behind were able to come up with the markings soon.

Xu Ziling also began to get nervous at this time. He knew very well that as long as the two girls were there, it would be difficult for the three of them to escape from the tracking. Shantou, which is famous like Liangshan, must have its intelligence network, and he can quickly track down his identity.

Fortunately, Wang Ying and the other two were killed by him, and Song Jiang and the others might not think of Wang Ying and the other two's deaths on themselves, and they should be troubled by them for a while.

However, what Xu Ziling didn't know was that Liu Tang was hit by his heart with all his strength, but he did not die on the spot, and even left a prompt that was enough to expose them.

...

In the main hall of a villa in Xuzhou, Miss Su was sitting opposite a half-year-old man. Next to the old man was a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at Miss Su with a magnificent look on her face with admiration.

Miss Su picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Wang, it is said that you retired a few years ago and abandoned your business in the city. The whole family moved to a village to become a leisurely rich man. Why are you back to Xuzhou City now?"

The old man did not care about the rudeness in the woman's words and said lightly: "It's not because of this world that there are too many thieves outside the city, and it's difficult to live a stable life."

Su Wan nodded: "I know a little about the old man's situation. But no matter what, I still return to Xuzhou City. Can the old man really be willing to be mediocre and be idle until he dies? Even if he doesn't care about himself, what about Miss Luoyan, with your current wealth, can she be worry-free for her whole life?"

The old man was silent for a while, looked at his daughter, and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She will strive for the happiness of falling geese."

Su Wan lost his patience and said straight to the point: "Mr. Wang, let me tell you directly. If you run a store opened in Xuzhou City for my Su family, then I will recognize Luo Yan as my sister and take her with me. If she wants to do business, I will teach her. If she wants money, I will give her money. If she meets a man she likes, my Su family will be her backer and will give her a dowry. My Su family is her background. Whoever wants to bully her will have to see if my Su family agrees."

After looking at the old man who seemed to be thinking, Su Wan continued: "Of course, I will not interfere with her freedom. Whether she wants to follow me or not, I will treat her as my sister and protect her."

The old man sighed and said, "Well, I have been half-legged in the soil and have done this business with Miss Su, so I can make a profit. Luo Yan's mother left early, and my father doesn't care enough for her. I believe Miss Su's character, so I don't feel at ease to hand over Luo Yan to you."

The girl next to her suddenly burst into tears: "Dad, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to accompany you. Play chess with you, bask in the sun with you, chat with you, and share flowers with you, raise birds..."

The old man stroked the messy ends of his daughter's hair and said softly: "Good daughter, my dad is old and I can't stay with you for too long. You can only go with Miss Su to see the vast world outside, the customs and customs everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and to know more young men like Mr. Xu. I know you yearn for these things. In the past, my dad was too selfish and didn't want you to follow your mother's footsteps and kept you in the trap for so many years."

The girl cried bitterly: "Dad, I'm grown up, I don't care about these anymore. I just want to be with you."

The old man patted the girl's thin shoulders: "Dad is the only one who is like this in his heart. Don't you want it to fall down?"

Su Wan whispered: "Luoyan, I just want you to follow me, not to follow me all the time. If you miss Mr. Wang, you can come back at any time."

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes and reached out to hug her father's somewhat thin hand.
