Chapter 4 Facing Difficulties

"Xu Jinghong, what are you going to do next?" It is naturally Liu Kaiyang who can talk to Xu Jinghong like this. However, at this time, he had already lost the arrogance of his previous journey, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were even more frightened. Not far away, the scream that made people's heart tremble just now has turned into a moan, but this kind of sound made him even more uneasy.

After dealing with those horse thieves, Xu Jinghong took his brothers and pulled the carriage back to the place where Liu Kaiyang and others were temporarily sheltered. At the same time, he told each other what happened. After listening to their means, Liu Kaiyang's expression changed a little. Coupled with the screams of the horse thieves over there, he had a new view of Xu Jinghong and finally understood the terribleness of this guy.

However, Liu Kaiyang still refused to admit defeat, so he asked the above question after calming down.

Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "Since the Lingzhou Fang family wants to take my life, I will naturally go to the city for a while. I won't let anyone who is against our brother live a good life!" Speaking of this, a frightening light has flashed in his eyes.

"What? How dare you go to Lingzhou? That's the territory of the Fang family. Aren't you going to die like this? Liu Kaiyang couldn't help but be a little anxious after hearing this: "Although you people can indeed fight, this Lingzhou is not in the wild. It can make you kill people casually and no one can care about it. The government there..."

"I know, I didn't say I wanted to kill Fang's house, just to let them know a truth." The other party's words were rudely interrupted by Xu Jinghong: "And this Lingzhou is also a place we must enter on our way forward. How can we change our original intention because of a family?"

Xu Jinghong's rude performance made Liu Kaiyang angry and snorted: "Since you are going to die, don't implicate us. What will happen after we leave the city separately? After all, his father said that he wanted to walk with Xu Jinghong all the way, so although Liu Kaiyang was dissatisfied, he still did not dare to violate it.

"Yes!" Xu Jinghong nodded and turned back to his brother. Looking at his back, Liu Kaiyang was stunned for a long time, and then asked the man next to him, "Liu Kui, do you think they can come out alive when they enter Lingzhou?"

This Liu Kui was the person who was defeated by Xu Jinghong at the beginning. He remembered the match that day and said in a low voice for a long time: "It's really hard to say, but with the ability of these people, the Fang family will never please you this time. However, after all, the Lingzhou Fang family is deeply rooted here. If they really tear their faces and start to do it, their losses will not be small.

"Hey, I don't know what my father thinks. They actually let me go the same way with such a guy who is enemies all over the world. In Yunzhou, he offended the Ye family, and here is the Fang family. If he really goes to the capital, maybe he will offend whom!" Liu Kaiyang muttered maliciously, and then fell asleep against a tree. At this time, the moan of the horse thief over there could no longer be heard. Obviously, more than 40 people were killed.

"Team Xu, in fact, you don't have to risk going to Lingzhou for me." After Xu Jinghong returned to his side, Sun Zaiyuan came over and said, "My family will go to the city to pick them up by myself. It's too dangerous for you to go to Lingzhou now..."

Xu Jinghong patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure. And I didn't come to Lingzhou to help you pick up your family, but also to meet this Fang family for a while. Since someone wants to count on me, I can't be silent after escaping, so that others will attack me even more!"

Seeing that Xu Jinghong had made up his mind and Sun Zaiyuan could not persuade him any more, he also saw the changes of Xu Jinghong. It seemed that as he came out of the barracks, his suppressed mind had begun to move. However, as a counselor, he still gave his own worries: "Xu Team Zheng, even if you really want to be an enemy, you have to figure out the context of the matter. This Fang family is in Lingzhou, and you have been in the southwest. How can you have a quarrel with them and have to kill you?

Xu Jinghong thought about this problem as early as he knew that the person behind the scenes was the Fang family. At this time, he said, "I think the origin of the problem is still in the capital. It was some people there who didn't want me to go back safely, so they ordered the Lingzhou Fang family to kill me."

Ah? Even the capital has people who are against him? What on earth did he come from? Hearing this, Sun Zaiyuan was shocked and made up his mind to get rid of this dangerous person as soon as possible, otherwise he and his family would be involved in a more dangerous environment.

Xu Jinghong didn't care about this change of the other party, and still flashed his eyes and said, "So this time in Lingzhou, I will let those people in front of and behind the stage know a truth. If they want to deal with me, they must pay a heavy price! Well, Mr. Sun doesn't have to worry about me. After picking up your family, I will let you leave and won't implict you.

After listening to his words, in fact, Sun Zaiyuan, who had deliberately avoided it, blushed and felt that he was really unnatural to do so. At least the other party had helped him. However, in the end, he did not speak any more. Compared with some thoughts in his heart, the safety of his family is the most important, which is why he finally repented on Ye Hao's matter.

After sending Sun Zaiyuan, Xu Jinghong called the brothers over and ordered them, "You should know our situation now. If we don't fight back, we will definitely be passive everywhere, so we have decided to go to Lingzhou. But after all, it is the land of the Fang family. We must be fully prepared to go to Lingzhou.

"What do you want to do?" Wang Liehai asked worriedly. The others are also a little uncertain. After all, their strength is too weak now. Can only these 20 people win on each other's territory?

"Old dog, take your two brothers to Pingmatun as the thief said, and get back all the gold and silver they left there. This is our brother's booty, and you can't take advantage of others. In addition, there must be some flags of this house. Take some of them and come back to the city to meet us. Xu Jinghong made the first arrangement.

Although everyone couldn't figure out Xu Jinghong's intention, the old dogs immediately received the order, and they looked at the sky and said, "In this case, it's not too late to go now."

Xu Jinghong nodded and said to others, "As for us, let's take a break and enter the city at dawn. After entering the city, everyone should show their flags to let everyone know our identity.

"Is it too much to do this? I don't think the Fang family has the courage to fight against us in Lingzhou City, so that they are really challenging the king's law. Wang Liehai put forward his opinion: "I think even if they really know that we have entered the city safely, I'm afraid they will hold their breath for a while and wait until we leave."

"Naturally, I know that I just want to give them a signal to be afraid, so as to provide more convenience for my actions in Lingzhou." Xu Jinghong said indifferently, "This time, those people in the capital want to take my life, so I let him lose his wife and soldiers, and even the Fang family in Lingzhou can't save it!"

"What?" Now, even Tian Dahu has changed his color. Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghong still has such ambition: "Can we really do things with these people?"

"I don't think the Fang family would have expected anything that we couldn't even think of ourselves. I just want to kill them off guard! However, I will not act recklessly. I will definitely find a suitable opportunity to attack them. This time, I will definitely let these guys know how powerful we are!" Xu Jinghong is full of confidence in everyone's doubts. Obviously, he has a complete plan, and now he is only waiting for the moment to enter the city.

At noon on the seventh day of May, a team of knights appeared at the west gate of Lingzhou City. After checking Guan Wen, the gatekeepers not only respectfully introduced them to the gate, but also sent a person to take them to the post station prepared for the court to rest.

After entering the city gate, the sergeants did not relax because they came to the safe city, but also cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points. They not only lit up a flag that originally belonged to the fifth team, but also bowed and stringed the knives out of the sheath, which was not majestic for a moment. This also made the surrounding people very interested in them, and many children followed the back of the team and laughed, and Xu Jinghong and others did not care about it.

Their eyes are constantly looking at everything in Lingzhou City. Whether it is the clothes of the people or the shops and streets, they should have a general understanding of the situation in Lingzhou and naturally have no time to pay attention to those children and spectators. So when they arrived at the post station, the news had quickly spread in the city, saying that such a team of people from the southwest who had made contributions and went to the capital to receive rewards lived in the post station in the city.

After settling down, Xu Jinghong couldn't help frowning and said to Xiong Geng and others beside him, "Have you found it? This Lingzhou city committee is really a little strange."

"Yes, according to its geographical location, it really shouldn't be so... desolate." Wang Liehai raised some words and finally gave an inaccurate description: "Although many people followed along the way, there were only one or two hundred people. And their clothes and the people in Yunzhou and other border towns are not much better, and even some shops here are still closed, which is not like a scene that a city should have.

Others also agree and seem to have doubts about everything in front of them. They really don't understand that a place with such a superior geographical location can't even compare with a border city like Yunzhou.

Xu Jinghong touched his chin and said, "It seems that we are really here this time. At least this Lingzhou City is not as rich as we think, and the problem is not small. As the Fang family, the hegemony in Lingzhou, if they have nothing to do with the current situation, I will not believe that they will kill me.

"Is the team trying to figure things out?" Soon, several brothers who were familiar with Xu Jinghong's style were eager to try.

"Yes, that's exactly what I think. Anyway, we have made up our mind to deal with this family. If we can get more evidence of their evil, we can be more decisive. Why not? Mr. Sun, since you have entered the city, I will accompany you to pick up your family here, so that you can have a care. With that, Xu Jinghong looked at Sun Zayuan.

Sun Zaiyuan was stunned and knew his intention. In addition to finding a reason to go out, he also wanted to know more about this place through his family. Although he didn't want his family to be involved in this matter, he couldn't refuse for a moment, so he had to nod with a wry smile: "Let's do what Team Xu wants. I don't know when we will leave."

Xu Jinghong looked at the sky and said, "Let's go now. I'll just have some food in the restaurant outside." These restaurants and so on are full of true and false news, just to inquire about everything in the city.

After saying that, Xu Jinghong left the other brothers in the post station to rest, and he and Sun Zaiyuan, Wang Liehai and Xiong Geng went out.

After leaving the post station, the strange feeling just now was even stronger. Although there were many people on the street, they were all tense and could not see the joy, which reminded Xu Jinghong of some memories of his previous life. In those big cities, the hurried urban crowd was the same. But after all, this is not the era of rapid development. How can the people be so nervous?

When they walked around, they found that many shops were closed, not with the seal of the government, but looked very old, as if the people in the city did not need to have commercial activities. This made several people shake their heads even more, and Xiong Geng said, "Team Zheng, isn't it that there is nothing to do in this city at all?"

"No, don't you think the previous ones are all deals?" Xu Jinghong shook his head and pointed to the shops not far ahead. Those are gold and silver jewelry shops, grain and rice shops, and silk and satin shops. After they walked around there, they saw a lot of other stores, but the facade was relatively small and the goods didn't look good.

At this time, they were a little relieved. At least they would not run out and couldn't ask anything. Then, several people found a wine shop in an in an inconsightable corner. The signboard on it was quite elegant and did not match this small pub, with the three big characters of Tianxiang Building.

"Let's go there to eat, and by the way, we can also ask people about the situation in this city." Xu Jinghong said and took the lead across the street to the pub. But halfway, he heard an eager horse's hoof coming towards him, and his body paused, and then quickly flashed, and a fast horse rushed over his side.

The three people who followed changed their color when they saw the situation. When they were about to teach the man on horse, the horse had gone far away. At the same time, the man on the horse shouted from afar: "You are blind, how dare to block the old man's way!"

Xu Jinghong was not hit by the horse, but his face sank. If the other party hadn't walked fast and it was not easy to do in this city, he would have taken action long ago.

"Are you all right?" Several people rushed over and asked. Xu Jinghong shook his head: "So many thrilling things have come, how can it hurt at the feet of a beast? Let's go. Let's talk about it after we enter the restaurant.

The inside of the pub is not as gorgeous as the outside, but it is good to be clean. But it's also very quiet, just like the street outside. Seeing a guest coming to the door, a clerk greeted him. After quickly wiping the table, he said, "What do you want to use?"

"Take one of the signature dishes in your restaurant and open a jar of good wine." Xu Jinghong couldn't order anything for a moment, so he said casually.

Unexpectedly, the second child was a little embarrassed. He looked at the four guests and said, "Don't blame the little ones. There are as many as 20 specialty dishes in our restaurant. I'm afraid you can't eat them if they all come up."

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many specialty dishes in this inconspicuous restaurant. For a moment, it was really strange: "Your pub is not big. Where did you get so many specialty dishes? Isn't it all you can do?"

"The guest laughed, how could it be like this? However, the little one didn't say anything wrong. There are indeed more than 20 specialty dishes in our restaurant, and there are more than 100 other dishes that are not good dishes..."

"Little Sanzi, you were raped there and made jokes by the guests. Since the guests want good wine and good dishes, you can just give them a few dishes at will. At this time, the boss who was calculating at the counter came out and bowed to Xu Jinghong and others, "It made several people laugh."

Xu Jinghong and others saw that although the boss said this, they did not say that Xiao Er was lying. Suddenly, he was also interested and replied, "This boss invited me. What you said also made me curious about other people from other places. Your restaurant is so small, but I didn't expect that there are really a lot of dishes at this time. ."

Before the boss spoke, the little third son whispered: "That's now. In the past, our Tianxiang Tower was one of the best restaurants in Lingzhou. What's the point of having 20 or 30 signature dishes..."

Before he finished speaking, he had been stared at by the boss to get wine and dishes. However, Xu Jinghong was still interested in these words, so he smiled and said to the boss, "Why, does the boss have any story about Xianglou this day? It's really boring for our brothers to wait for the food to be served. Just talk to us.

"This..." The boss hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Since the guest is a foreigner, I will tell you the truth. What the little third son said is indeed true..."
