Two ate of the ring-shaped perimeter wall The speaker was about thirty-five, thirty-six years old, refined inon his thin face Although he was criticizing, he still spoke calmly, leisurely
On the surface he appeared to be a weak scholar, but fro could see that he was a top quality martial artpersonality; he could not possibly let others force him to easily sway his determination and conviction
The other person was older by one to six years; his hair and eyebroere as dense as iron wire, he wore a pair of short moustache that looked exactly like a brush He had clear outline, the expression showing in his eyes was glooedwas that he earing a white scarf tied on his forehead with character ‘ji’ [sacrifice (to Gods/ancestors)] on it,believe that he was the second-in-co off his position and deter
Then the other man must be the Chief Constable Qiu Nanshan as appointed by Gao Kaidao; before, Kou Zhong could not have ih, everybody present stood up one after the other, cupped their fist to salute and said, “Qiu Zongxun, Shu Er Dangjia”
Qiu Nanshan was, after all, the representative of the local governs and societies of various regions h face
Qiu Nanshan’s eyes fell on Ren Jun first, before shooting toward Kou Zhong, as standing on top of the steps Still sitting high on the horseback, he spoke indifferently, “This gentleiven naye [old chief], how are you? These two gentle, the other is Ren Jun; there is also another gentle by this place on their way to Shanhai Pass Because they are unwilling to sell their horses to these Bei Ma Bang boys, they offended and angered the crowd, provoking the Dong Bei Bang’s big brothers to teach theye arrived just in ti and Bei Ma Bang, two groups of people iry look, but momentarily they were helpless to deal with Luo Daoren

Su Qing laughed tenderly and said, “Xiang shi+ye’s ability is getting more and more profound! If you did not explain it personally, nujia would not have known that your buying the horses is fake, while the sounding out is real”
shi+ye Hua was i would openly help ‘outsider’
Qiu Nanshan understood, but he still did not want to let Kou Zhong and Ren Jun off; he spoke slowly, “Gentles you here?”
Kou Zhong laughed caloing to Shanhai Pass is to negotiate a business deal Due to the confidential nature of the business, if Zongye wants to understand the details, would it be possible to step aside to talk? Ol’ Fu will surely explain the details truthfully, I won’t dare to conceal anything”
It could be said that by saying that, he was giving Qiu Nanshan enough face, plus it was neither haughty nor humble
As expected, Qiu Nanshan’s countenance relaxed; with a slight nod, he said, “I will discuss the details with Fu Xiong later”
Behind hitai spoke in his deep and low voice, “Ren Xiong’s martial art skill is superior, I wonder a brilliant disciple of which faed frankly, “My humble jiu”
Apparently Shu Dingtai has never heard this najiu; it was difficult for him to either speak or ask question Without any better option, he said, “Indeed a famous teacher trains a fine student [idiom]”
Qiu Nanshan finally distai followed, a relay station worker immediately came over to take care of the horses
Qiu Nanshan said, “At the last ent ”
The crowd broke into coruntled Only shi+ye Hua, twolooked up at the sky, dark clouds were sca across the dusk sky; he asked, “What is the reason Xu Bangzhu delaying the jia sent so related to the case, he will certainly coain
‘Booh the clouds The clap of thunder was right overhead, followed by bean-sized raindrops, sparse at first, but quickly getting denser, pouring down fro time, finally came down to the earth
Immediately the situation turned chaotic; everybody was either scurrying into theto avoid the rain, or rushed their horses under the roof-tile-topped winding corridor Those planning on leaving had no choice but to dispel that idea
By the time Luo Daoren settled his beloved mule by the Thousand-li Dream and the other horses’ side, the downpour started in the earnest, the sky turned hazy, the earth turned dark, the night came early
When everybody had taken shelter into the dining hall, like a butterfly weaving through the flowers Sao Niangzi attentively showed hospitality to Qiu Nanshan and Shu Dingtai
Avoiding the others, Xu Ziling and the others took a table on the corner, away from the crowd – in a laidbackand Ren Jun sat down on his left and right The for said, “There is a stone pavilion outside, heshelter from the rain over there This man’s character is reclusive and cynical, but it does not look like he is evil For so here, his target is Xu Kaishan”
Kou Zhong turned his head around to cast a glance toward the crowd, the gangs and sects people took two tables on the other corner Wai Lian Bang and Dong Bei Bang ting, Bei Ma Bang’s shi+ye Hua, Dong Bei Bang’s young gang leader Bei Chenfen, Wai Lian Bang’s Phoenix Hall’s Hall Master Su Qing, Luo Daoren, Chief Constable Qiu Nanshan, Anle Bang’s Second Chief Shu Dingtai, and so on sat around another table, in closed discussion
Two of shi+ye Hua’s ’swere breathing through the sa down nonstop, standing by the zi conducted her s, and closed the ; they were busy endlessly
After narrating his dialogue with Yin Xianhe, Xu Ziling said, “This h on a hillside, whether it is the public square or the , there is only one entrance, and the s are narrow Although it has defensive advantages, but if someone sealed off the entrance, nobody would be able to escape Xu Kaishan chose this place to hold abad intention?”
Lowering his voice, Kou Zhong said, “If they coordinate outside and inside offensives, Dong Bei Bang plus shi+ye Hua, two groups will be able to acco to explain the reason why Xu Kaishan was delayed until toht have found a clue about Cui wang?”
This zi’ Yin Xianhe appeared from the back door like a specter, the ba wet, his wooden face ithout any e to a corner to sit down silently
Suddenly seeing hi The at with hostility and suspicion
Finished working outside, Sao Niangzi and her workers returned to close thehall They also lit theon the four walls The noise of the violent rain and thunder seemed to be in a separate world When the fireplaces on all the four walls were all lit, the hall becatai beckoned Sao Niangzi to cozi, with ten thousand kinds of flirtatious expressions,to treat everybody Brothers, quickly prepare vegetables and uests”
The workers immediately received the orders and went each one to do his job
Sao Niangzi plopped her butts on the chair next to Lu shi+qing Lang Tingting’s pretty eyebrows i, there was nothing she could do
Qiu Nanshan’s voice rang, “Yin Xiong, I wonder what business brings you to grace us with your presence here?”
Yin Xianhe did not care about him at all, he coldly said, “I cannot coh, shi+ye Hua said, “There’s a saying, one does not visit a te ca’s behalf, while the fact is Yin Xiong ca of rain, won’t we then have unnecessary ? It is not worth it”
This , his action was like pushi+ng the wave and adding to the billows, fanning the flaht a fire, as if he was afraid that the world was not chaotic enough
Yin Xianhe did not get angry at all, he si of rain”
Just then the workers ca the tense at everywhere, she personally poured the wine for everybody, only she did not dare to provoke Yin Xianhe
The wine and the dishes were served, other than Yin Xianhe, who did not touch the food and drink, everybody else was eating and drinking to their heart’s content
Luo Daoren ca, threethe three two cups each, he lowered his voice and said, “What is two gentleedy?”
On the other side, the people were tipsy and hu affairs of the northeast Wulin, plus fro out; the atathered here for the Anle Tragedy
Kou Zhong replied, “We are guessing that it was because Lu Dangjia grasped witness testimony or perhaps ’s real identity that he ht knohere he went or who he saw before he was murdered”
Luo Daoren nodded and said, “Your view and Pindao’s agree without prior consultation, because approxio Lu Laodi went on an all-out effort to investigate the wolf bandits’ tracks Before he was killed, he went to Shanhai Pass Only, according to Shu Dingtai ith hiroup of barbarian , but they were pouncing empty air, because the barbarian merchants already went out the Pass”
“What kind of person is Shu Dingtai?” Xu Ziling asked
Luo Daoren was stunned, “You think his guts is that big?” he asked
Kou Zhong said, “Didn’t Daozhang say earlier that you don’t like hirave, he said, “I don’t like hitai and Du Xing have been very close, and he refused to listen to his advice”
Slapping the table, Kou Zhong said, “I dare say that Cui wang is a fictitious character invented by Du Xing”
Revealing a shocked expression, Luo Daoren said, “What is the basis of Kou Xiong’s conclusion? Du Xing is as weighty as Mount Tai, as brilliant as the Big Dipper [idioto follow him blindly, plus he receives the Tujue and Qidan people’s support, provoking hi was about to respond, suddenly so voice, “My head is very dizzy”
