After taking care of the Nanjiang County Guard, Qin Hao headed north, running for seventy or eighty miles, completely getting rid of the pursuers.

Those government soldiers chased for forty or fifty miles on horseback before giving up. Because they couldn't catch up at all, they had no choice but to report the matter to the governor of Mingzhou, who would then report it to the Ministry of Punishment, who would then send him to the sea to arrest him. Document, arrest Qin Hao.

At this time, Qin Hao was sitting in a teahouse about a hundred miles away from Nanjiang County.

Although his physical fitness has greatly improved now, Qin Hao still feels a lot of physical exertion from running for nearly a hundred miles at such a fast speed, and his throat is so dry that it's almost smoking.

Seeing this unnamed teahouse on the roadside, Qin Hao came in to rest and replenish his energy.

The owners of the teahouse are a pair of grandsons. The old man looks very strong and has nimble hands and feet. The younger grandson may be used to seeing people coming and going. At the age of ten, he can speak impeccably in one sentence.

The teahouse was not large, with only four or five tables. At this time, there was only one other female guest besides Qin Hao. From the moment she walked into the teahouse, Qin Hao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

It wasn't that Qin Hao had any evil thoughts, he simply found it interesting because the woman's dress was exactly the same as the heroine he imagined walking around in the world, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Wearing a tight-fitting blue dress, the cuffs of both arms were wrapped with ropes, and she was wearing a bamboo hat. The brim of the bamboo hat had tulle hanging down, making it difficult for people to see her appearance. What attracted Qin Hao most was that the woman was holding a handle in her hand. Long sword, heroic and outstanding.

But Qin Hao obviously forgot that this was an ancient world with strict etiquette. Although he only looked at it for a few times and then looked away, in the eyes of the woman, this behavior was too naked, which directly marked him as a disciple in his heart. sub tag.

The woman banged her long sword heavily on the table. The sound alerted the grandfather and grandson in the store, and also alerted Qin Hao who was immersed in making pancakes.

Although separated by the gauze, Qin Hao could still feel the woman's gaze, and he hesitated slightly.

"Why does the atmosphere seem a little wrong? Is she glaring at me? Is it because I glanced at her?"

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Hao probably guessed something. He was a little dumbfounded, thinking that these ancient people did not have a good temper.

However, it could be considered that he was rude first. Qin Hao picked up the tea bowl, saluted the woman, nodded and said:

"Sorry, it was unintentional."

The woman obviously didn't like his words. She turned her head away from him and hummed softly:

"Huh, you're a scumbag..."

Qin Hao's five senses were very strong, so he naturally heard the woman's unpleasant words. He didn't care about it. He was just a passerby, so he didn't need to take it to heart.

After he finished eating and drinking, and was almost rested, he planned to get up and leave.

At this time, a group of people, about twenty or thirty people, some on horseback and some on foot, came on the official road outside the teahouse. Among the crowd were three carriages, which were covered with straw sheds. It was unclear what they were. thing. At the end of the carriage, there was a flag with four big characters written on it - Sihai Escort Agency.

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, seeing another familiar martial arts scene.

But at this time, Qin Hao couldn't help but think that whenever the escort bureau appears, there will be disputes in the world. He wonders if he will see someone robbing the escort today.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao, who originally planned to leave, ordered another pot of tea and started reading leisurely.

Just when he decided to stay and take a look, he clearly saw from the corner of his eye that the woman who just scolded him for being a disciple involuntarily moved one hand closer to the hilt of the sword.

Qin Hao thought to himself, "Sure enough, something is going to happen."

Not all of the escorts outside the teahouse came in. Only a few of the escorts who were supposed to be the leaders walked into the teahouse and sat down to drink tea. Those outside could only sit on the floor, drink tea and eat. Even at this time, those escorts still The three carriages in the middle were surrounded by water. It was obvious that the contents inside were very important.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Hao, who had a leisurely look on his face, suddenly had a strange brilliance blooming in his eyes, and then it flashed away and returned to normal.

"It's really fun to watch."

He muttered to himself.

"Is this Mr. Bai, the head of the Sihai Escort Bureau, here?"

A clear voice sounded, coming from the woman wearing a gauze hat.

At the table near the door of the teahouse, a middle-aged man over fifty stood up, cupped his hands to the woman and said:

"Exactly, I wonder if the heroine has any advice?"

The woman sat very evenly and had no intention of getting up to return the greeting. She said quietly:

"There are rumors in the world that the governor of Mingzhou made a lot of money and spent millions of taels of silver to cast three golden Buddhas. I wonder if Chief Bai has ever heard of it?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said:

"I did hear some rumors, but I still don't know whether they are true or false."

The woman continued:

"In recent years, the Chen State in the east has repeatedly invaded our border. It even invaded with a large army half a year ago. It was an unstoppable force and took away twenty-four cities in the three counties of Fengzhou and Mingzhou. Fortunately, General Zhong came to the battle and blocked it. Chen Guo’s army. Does Mr. Bai, the bodyguard, know about this?”

Mr. Bai from the Sihai Escort Bureau still nodded patiently and said:

"Of course I know that if it weren't for General Zhong, Mingzhou would have been plunged into war by now."

The woman nodded, took a sip of tea and continued:

"Does Mr. Bai know why Chen's army was able to capture Twenty Times City in the three counties of Ming and Feng so easily?"

"This... I have never heard of."

The woman snorted coldly:

"Because there was a traitor in Liguo, Xu Xiaoren, the governor of Mingzhou, colluded with General Chen Guo, cooperated internally and externally, and stole the land of the three counties of Liguo. And the three golden Buddhas he cast were intended to be presented to Chen Guo The army will be used to finance the attack on my country."

Mr. Bai's expression did not change at all. He smiled and said:

"I'm afraid this is a rumor. Xu Xiaoren, the governor of Mingzhou, is already a high official in the border areas and holds a high position of power. Why should he compromise and collude with foreign countries?"

The woman smiled contemptuously and said:

"Humph, because Chen Guo has promised that once Li Guo is destroyed, Xu Xiaoren can be crowned king and sit on the three states of Li Guo."

Mr. Bai's eyes changed slightly. He sat down slowly and remained silent.

The woman finally stood up, put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and said coldly:

"Half a month ago, four escort agencies in Mingzhou City received a shipment of escorts sent to the east of Liguo at the same time, and each agency was ordered to bid out the bids in batches. That is to say, half a month ago, There are more than a dozen or even dozens of escort teams in Mingzhou City setting off to the east at the same time. The escorts of these dozens of escort teams are all empty escorts, and their purpose is naturally to deceive others."

Speaking of this, the woman paused, stared at Mr. Bai's head, and then said slowly:

"Mr. Bai's bodyguard has always been quite famous in the world of Li Kingdom, and everyone in the world respects him. But now that he is in his old age, why do he still do this kind of thing to help others? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation for half your life?"

Several escorts around Mr. Bai stood up angrily, pointed at the woman and said angrily:

"Girl, please be respectful in what you say. Where did my chief bodyguard do anything to help the tyrants? If you don't explain clearly today, I'm afraid you won't be able to be kind."

The woman ignored him, looked at Mr. Bai and sneered:

"Senior Bai, for the sake of what I have said, if you still have some sense of conscience, please leave immediately with all the bodyguards and leave those three carriages. Otherwise, Senior Bai, the reputation you have accumulated so hard will probably be lost today. It’s going to be a complete failure.”

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight figures appeared outside the teahouse, surrounding the entire escort team.

The bodyguards who were resting outside reacted quickly and immediately set up a formation, tightly surrounding the three carriages in the middle, ready to stand ready.

The originally peaceful scene suddenly became tense.
