Chapter 196: Pursuit of the Jianghu

The fifth day of the first lunar month, at dusk.

Zhou An and others arrived in Liangcheng.

At this moment, it had only been seven hours since Zhou An killed Qiao Shenghu. From last night to now, none of Zhou An's group of people had a rest. After finishing the Qiaojiabao incident, they rushed to the road in a row, from night to day, and then to dusk at this moment, and finally arrived at Liangcheng, which is more than 500 miles away from Sankou County.

Everyone is a warrior, and the weakest is the innate realm, so they can survive.

However, the horses they rode couldn't stand it and more than a dozen horses died.

It doesn’t matter if the horse dies, but if it dies, it’s just a matter of changing it.

...

Just as night came, the west of Liangcheng City was "full of the moon".

This is one of the best inns in Liangcheng. It has a six-story tower with a large floor area and looks spectacular.

Third floor guest room.

Zhou An stood by the window holding a small teapot, and a gap was opened in the window. While drinking tea, he looked at the streets with bright lights outside the window.

As the main city of Liangzhou, Liangcheng is less than half of the size of the capital and has a far less population. However, the prosperity here is no less than that of the capital at first glance. It is full of prosperity, especially as it happens to be in the New Year and the first month has not yet appeared, Liangcheng is even more lively than usual.

It was just night before, and there were figures everywhere in the streets and alleys of Liangcheng. Lanterns were hanging in front of every household, and there were endless hawking. Children wearing new clothes were chasing and fighting at the entrance of the alley. The carriages slowly walked with the crowd on the street...

Here, even beggars who beg for food are happy.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, passers-by are more generous than before when giving alms to beggars, especially those rich ladies who rarely go out. In the first lunar month, Liangcheng has various activities almost every day. They rarely go out, so they bring enough copper coins, mainly for children and for beggars.

Although it is a disaster year, Liangzhou is a prosperous and prosperous place after all. It is also in the New Year. Here, there is no way to see the miserable and sadness of the disaster year.

Zhou An looked outside, finished drinking a pot of tea, closed the window, put down the teapot, and went to bed.

Two hours later.

Because the winter night is long, Zhou An went to bed shortly after the night. After two hours of sleep, it was only the second day of the day, but it was almost the third day of the day.

Zhou An changed his clothes and walked out of the room, Pan Yuanyu and Deng Yu were ready.

When Zhou An saw Pan Yuanyu, he was stunned for a moment. Pan Yuanyu did have a good skin, such a handsome young man! Pan Yuanyu also changed his clothes. According to Zhou An's instructions, he changed into a gorgeous dress, with a jade plaque hanging around his waist, holding a folding fan for calligraphy to carry characters, and dressed like a noble young man.

In fact, Zhou An also dressed up as a noble young man, but he would not be the protagonist tonight, Pan Yuanyu is!

According to the plan he formulated, Pan Yuanyu's identity tonight will be Wu Chengqi, the prince of Prince Jin's mansion! The jade ornaments on his body, including the rings and the folding fan on his hand, are really Wu Chengqi's things! Zhou An even gave him the brand of Prince Jin's mansion.

Zhou An cannot pretend to be Wu Chengqi because he is not old enough and is not tall enough, so he is too easy to see through.

Pan Yuanyu is very suitable, both in height, age, and even in temperament, because Pan Yuanyu was originally a playboy! What's more, he is particularly good at lying and pretending to be like whatever he wants.

So tonight, Pan Yuanyu is Wu Chengqi!

Zhou An's identity will be Pan Yuanyu's cousin and the son of Pan Yuanyu's uncle, named Xu Bing.

Deng Yu will transform into Wu Chengqi's old servant.

The three met in the corridor.

When they went downstairs together, Pan Yuanyu looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he couldn't help but leaned closer and whispered: "Young Master, when I was downstairs before, I heard something about you..."

"Hmm?" Zhou An was startled and looked at Pan Yuanyu.

Can you hear about him here? How is that possible?!

"Someone issued a chasing order for the Jianghu to give you a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to ask for your head, and Tongbao's guarantee." Pan Yuanyu continued in a low voice, "The news came from Zhongzhou and has spread all over the world!"

"Oh..." Zhou An's expression relaxed.

The pursuit order of the martial arts world was just a warning, but this was not beyond Zhou An's expectations. He just thought his identity was exposed here.

"Tongbao." Zhou An frowned again, but said nothing.

Tongbao is a permanently neutral organization. It is precisely because they are neutral that they can do a pursuit and guarantee business. This does not violate the agreement between Tongbaobao and Emperor Taizu Wu Yuanyin.

Because the so-called guarantee is that those who issue a hunting order will hand over the money to Tongbao. Tongbao will spread the news around the world as soon as possible. Anyone who completes the hunting mission can get money from Tongbao and does not need to meet with the mission publisher.

Tongbao is equivalent to a platform. If the jianghu people issue a hunting order to the jianghu people, Tongbao, as the largest intelligence organization in the jianghu world, will sell intelligence. However, if it involves people from the court, Tongbao will not sell relevant information and will only provide guarantees.

This guarantee business, whether Tongbaohao does it or not, will not affect anything, because there are other Jianghu organizations that can do it, or even any Jianghu money bank can do it.

Therefore, it would be meaningless for the court to not have trouble finding Tongbao because of this.

The three of them arrived at the first floor lobby.

The lobby is very lively. Although it is late at night, there are still nearly half of the tables eating and drinking, and the noise is loud. In restaurants of this level, people who will sit in the lobby for dinner are mostly rich and capable people in the martial arts world, because people in the martial arts world like to be lively, not care about trivial matters, and do not care about noise.

Ordinary literati or rich young men come to restaurants and go to the private rooms upstairs, and rarely get along with the people in the lobby.

There were voices everywhere in the lobby, which was very messy.

Zhou An heard it all, and indeed heard about the pursuit order of the Jianghu Lake, and didn't listen much... It didn't take a closer look at it. It was Wu Xukuan's pursuit order, and Zhou An only had a few enemies, spending 10,000 taels of gold to ask for someone else's head. If there was such a big hatred, except Wu Xukuan, the Pure Land Sect was left.

The Pure Land Buddhism itself is the largest killer organization in the world. It is impossible for them to issue a hunt for the world, otherwise it will make people laugh.

So it must be Wu Xukuan!

Wu Xukuan is really willing to give up and is really rich!

He probably hired the Ghost Face Fox, and he would have to spend at least ten thousand taels of gold. Now he has offered a reward of ten thousand taels of gold to chase the world. He has never seen him so worried about the Queen.

The three of them walked through the lobby and left the inn.

The carriage was already prepared outside the door, so the driver who drove the car was naturally one of the people brought by Zhou An, who was the hundreds of households who secretly interrogated the guards.

Zhou An and Pan Yuanyu, dressed as noble young masters, entered the carriage, while Deng Yu, dressed as an old servant, sat next to the coachman.

Set off!

The carriage was walking very steadily.

Zhou An in the carriage seemed to have suddenly remembered something and pulled out a small strip of blood-stained cloth from his arms.

He remembered the ghost-faced fox.

The Jianghu hunting order reminded him, and he didn't know if the ghost-faced fox was chasing him.

In front of Pan Yuanyu, Zhou An directly made a seal.

"The world is endless, tracking thousands of miles..."

The small cloth strip burned, and the smoke drifted in front of Zhou An's eyes, and Zhou An stared at him.

He saw the horse running wildly in the dark, and the snowflakes raised by the horse's hooves... He also felt that people were three hundred miles away from the north.

After shook off the ashes on his hands, Zhou An frowned.

So fast, I'm chasing you now?!

It’s only a few hours since Zhou An arrived in Liangcheng today? The ghost-faced fox can travel overnight with purpose, and must have come to Liangcheng. The ability to track has to make Zhou An say, "Awesome!"

However, Zhou An was not too nervous because of this.

It's still far away. The ghost-faced fox can't reach Liangcheng for a while. Even if he arrives, he has to investigate carefully and make assassination arrangements... So at least in the past or two days, Zhou An doesn't feel that he will be assassinated by the ghost-faced fox.

If you don’t want this, you have to do your job tonight first.

After about one stick of incense.

The carriage stopped.

"Young Master, here." The human being outside said.

Zhou An directly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

Opposite the street is a restaurant with brilliant lights and full of the sound of the belles and swallows. The plaque of "Fengqilou" looks particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the big red lanterns.

Fengqi Tower is one of the largest and best brothels in Liangcheng!

Two months ago, a southern girl came to Fengqilou. Once it was launched, the southern girl with the stage name "Linglong'er" became the top brand of Fengqilou.
Chapter completed!
