Chief Player of Film and Television World

After riding horseback in the desert for a while, Zhang Jin saw a tall flagpole gradually revealed on the horizon where fine sand was often blown by the wind, with a flag hanging on it - Longmen Inn.

"Fortunately you didn't lie to me." Zhang Jin thought to himself.

When they parted, he was afraid of being deceived by Shopkeeper He, so he marked the other party with a partner's mark. Once he couldn't find the Longmen Inn and confirmed that the other party had deceived him, he immediately followed the location of his partner's mark and came to settle the score!

As for whether the other party will live or die after settling the accounts, it depends on the other party's attitude.

But now that he has found the Longmen Inn, he will naturally take back the partner mark on the other party.

Zhang Jin rode his horse and walked slowly towards the Longmen Inn. As he gradually approached, the entire appearance of the Longmen Inn came into view.

The architectural appearance of Longmen Inn is exactly the same as in the movie, except that the roughness and old damage caused by being blown by wind and sand all year round in the desert are more obvious.

The four characters "Longmen Inn" on the tall flagpole have almost faded to the point where the characters can't be seen clearly, while the lantern next to it has turned an earthy yellow like sand, losing its original color.

Zhang Jin came outside the inn and tied the horses in the shed. He glanced at the many horses and camels next to him, then turned and walked towards the door of the inn. It could be seen from these camels and horses that there should be a caravan staying overnight or resting.

"Sir, do you want to stay or... eat?" A round-headed and round-faced waiter came up to him, but when he saw the visitor's clothes clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Let's eat first and stay for a few days. Are there any guest rooms?" Zhang Jin glanced at the other party and saw that the guy who came was none other than Huang Gang, one of the pioneers of the treasure hunting team in the movie and one of the Pingdingshan trio.

"Yes, yes, sir, please come in." Huang Gang suppressed the surprise in his heart, pretended to be attentive, and took him to an empty table in the store. While wiping the table, he asked, "What would you like to eat?"

?”

Zhang Jin took off the embroidered spring knife from his waist and put it on the table. He raised his eyes and stared at Huang Gang for a long time. Only after the other person looked a little uneasy did he ask: "I heard that you have a saying about magic tricks and food that can reach the sky.

Yes or no?"

Huang Gang took back the rag he used to wipe Zhuo: "This... I'm just kidding. I've never heard of a trick that makes immortal food reach the sky. I've never heard of it."

Zhang Jin took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms to wipe it carefully. While wiping it, he said: "I haven't heard of the best. It just so happened that I didn't bring chopsticks, so I used the chopsticks in your store to eat."

Things. I don’t want to eat white meat, nor do I want to be made into white meat. Do you understand what I mean?”

Huang Gang forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, sir, there is no white meat in our store, only mutton."

"Very good, then first bring me a roast leg of lamb, the flavorful one, and then make me a pot of tea." Zhang Jin put the clean chopsticks on the bowl and took out one from his bag.

The small paper bag was handed over, "The best Longjing, don't let me soak it."

Huang Gang looked a little embarrassed: "Sir, we only drink wine here, not tea, and we don't know how to make tea. Why don't we serve you a jar of good wine? Our kumiss paired with roasted mutton tastes great!"

"Forget it if you don't know how to make tea. I'm not used to drinking mare's kumiss. Just give me water and add roasted leg of lamb." Zhang Jin waved his hand.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." After Huang Gang said that, he immediately turned around and trotted towards the kitchen.

Zhang Jin was eating the peanuts and dried fruits provided on the table while looking at the guests around him. In addition to the guys who were obviously from the caravan, there was also a group of people dressed in obviously foreign races surrounding the table on the small steps directly opposite the door.

of guests.

This group of foreigners is the Tatars led by Chang Xiaowen and is also a member of the treasure hunting team.

It seems that these Tatars, Shuoyang Wei Liangcai, Huanggang from Pingdingshan, Ercai and Xinping were the first to arrive, and the two parties must have already been in contact.

Just when Zhang Jin was looking at the Tatars in the inn, Chang Xiaowen also looked towards him and spoke a gibbering Tatar language. Although he couldn't understand what the other party said, he could tell from the tone of his voice.

Coming is definitely not a good idea.

However, the big guard Ha Gangtongga next to him quickly translated this sentence: "My hostess said that she did not expect that the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty would come back to such a place where birds don't shit. Could it be that you have looted all the people's wealth and wealth in other places?"

!"

Zhang Jin was not angry at all, and smiled lightly: "What do you Tatars know? We Jinyiwei never plunder the people's wealth. How many properties can ordinary people have? It would be better to rob a minister's house to make more money!"

Hagang Tongga translated for Chang Xiaowen. Chang Xiaowen spat and said something in a contemptuous tone.

"My mistress said that you, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who framed Zhongliang are no different from those corrupt officials who plunder the people's wealth. They are all heinous villains!"

"I don't know what qualifications you Tatars have to say this. You are heinous evildoers, let's treat each other."

"My mistress advises you to leave as soon as possible before she plans to kill you, otherwise she will be angered. She doesn't care about Dongchang or Jinyiwei, no one can save your life!" Ha Gang Tongga

He raised his hand and made a motion of wiping his neck.

"I will leave naturally after I finish my work. As for when I will leave, you don't need to worry about it. If you feel that I am an eyesore in this inn and delaying your work, feel free to take action if you want." Zhang Jin looked disapproving.

At this time, Huang Gang and Xin Ping brought up the roast mutton and water.

"Sir, the roast leg of lamb you requested is here. It's fresh and hot. Here's a pot of water."

Chang Xiaowen said something more, and Hagang Tongga translated: "It's so shameful for a grown man not to drink, hahaha!"

Huanggang, Xin Ping turned to look at the Tatar, then turned back to ask Zhang Jin: "Sir, do you really not drink?"

"The wine here is too bad. I can't get used to it. You go down." Zhang Jin waved away the two of them, looked at the real roasted lamb leg in the big basin, took out the dagger from his waist, and cut off a piece of meat from the roasted lamb leg.

Put it in front of you, use your surface to detect and smell it carefully.

Surface Detective: Your nose is very sensitive and can distinguish many smells, but only the smell of the day.

It didn't take long for him to identify what was on top of the roasted leg of lamb from the smell.

In addition to the natural aroma of the roasted lamb leg, there are also cumin, pepper and coarse salt, which can be regarded as a lot of effort. The most important thing is that the roasted lamb leg is not poisoned!

It seems that this group of people is quite smart and will not immediately kill themselves before they figure out the real purpose of coming here. Chang Xiaowen was conducting a preliminary test on himself just now, which should be the result of their discussion.

.

Zhang Jin planned to stay put for now. Anyway, he had nothing to do before the black sandstorm came. However, because of his identity as a royal guard, the Tatars and the storekeepers of Longmen Inn should be the ones who are anxious.

In order to ensure that their treasure digging business can proceed smoothly, they will definitely try their best to drive away or solve the thorn in the side of Jin Yiwei who suddenly came to the inn.

As long as Chang Xiaowen and others can't help but take the lead, Zhang Jin will have enough excuses to counterattack, and it will be much easier to talk about cooperation with Feng Lidao and others.

Either cooperate or break up, smart people know how to choose!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin put the roasted lamb leg slices into a bowl and started eating with clean chopsticks.

I have to say that although they are pretending to be the owner of Longmen Inn, Liang Cai and others are very careful in pretending, and the food tastes really good. The roasted lamb leg with cumin, pepper and coarse salt, this roasted lamb

Not only does the taste have no fishy smell, but it also has an indescribable natural deliciousness.

It's not like Zhang Jin has never eaten roasted leg of lamb in real life, but compared with the roasted leg of lamb at Longmen Inn, except for the richer seasonings, the texture of the meat is completely inferior. The difference between the two is like

The difference between feed chickens and free-range chickens.

Zhang Jin ate a roast leg of lamb by himself. After eating, he asked Huang Gang to take him to the room on the second floor to rest, and asked him to prepare hot water for washing his face and soaking his feet.

"Sir, this water is precious in the desert. Isn't it too wasteful for you to use it to soak your feet?" Huang Gang advised.

"Afraid I can't pay?" Zhang Jin rolled his eyes and squinted at the other party coldly.

"That's not..."

"It's okay if you don't. Bring it to me if you are ready. Your money will be indispensable." Zhang Jin took out a small piece of broken silver from his waist and threw it to the other party, then closed the door and did not give the other party a chance to continue talking.

After the door was closed, Huang Gang's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and walked downstairs with an expression of disgust and disdain.

"How's it going?" Xin Ping, who had just finished clearing Zhang Jin's dining table, asked quickly when he saw Huang Gang coming down.

Huang Gang shook his head: "Let me boil water for him to wash his face and soak his feet, this turtle grandson!"

Xin Ping also sighed: "These Zidongchang and Jinyiwei are not good people. Damn it, this roasted lamb leg is eaten so cleanly, it is more ruthless than the jackals in the desert!"

The two of them returned to the kitchen muttering.

At night, everyone who had eaten dinner went back to their rooms to rest.

The lobby of the inn was quiet, with only a few candlelights shining with limited dim light, making the reflections of the objects in the lobby on the walls and floor look like twisted and terrifying monsters.

In the secret passage below the Longmen Inn, Chang Xiaowen took his guard Ha Gang Tong Ga and met with Liang Cai, Huang Gang, Ercai and Xin Ping to discuss the matter.

"A guard suddenly came today. How to solve this problem?" Chang Xiaowen said straight to the point.

"Why did Jin Yiwei suddenly come to this remote inn in the desert?" Liang Cai asked doubtfully while smoking a cigarette, "Logically speaking, this place has neither money nor officials, so he shouldn't come here. Is it to arrest prisoners?

?”

Huang Gang shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it to me. The guy said he planned to stay in our store for a few days, and he didn't ask me if I had seen anyone. He didn't look like he was here to arrest someone, but more like he was here to do something.

.”

"That's troublesome. If he comes to do things, we will do things too. I hope the water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river." Liang Cai exhaled smoke.

"What does he want to do?" Ercai asked.

"I don't know, he didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to ask further." Huang Gang replied.

Xin Ping suggested: "Let me tell you, let's figure out what he wants to do, see if we can secretly help him get it done, and send him away quickly. There are only a few days until the black sandstorm arrives, so now

This matter cannot be delayed.”

"What if he doesn't leave, or we can't help him?" Liang Cai asked.

"That's easy, just do it to him!" Chang Xiaowen lifted up his braided hair and looked around at everyone present, with a sneer hidden at the corner of his mouth.

Huang Gang, Ercai, and Xin Pingping looked at each other and said nothing, but turned their attention to Liang Cai next to him. After all, as an old Jianghu, the other party should have thought more carefully.

Liang Cai smoked a cigarette, and after a long while he said: "There are many Jin Yiwei who have died outside in recent years. It is not difficult to bury someone in the yellow sand of the desert."

The smile on Chang Xiaowen's face became even stronger: "So you agree?"

Xin Ping asked: "Poison? Or a sneak attack at night?"

Huang Gang said: "It is better to poison if you can, but looking at the other party's behavior during the day today, it is obvious that he is wary. And he also knows that Yizhao Xian and Shi Tongtian may not be easy on our inn's dike. Whether the poison can be successful is not important.

Easy to talk about."

"The only way is to attack at night." Ha Gang Tongga clenched his fists.

"We don't know his martial arts. If the sneak attack fails and he is restrained, we will be in trouble." Liang Cai said.

Chang Xiaowen said: "This is easy to handle. I will find an excuse to argue with him tomorrow and then have a good fight. Then I will probably know his martial arts strength. Once I have found out the opponent's background, it will not be too late to take action at night!"

"

Huang Gang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I took a closer look today. Although this guy has an embroidered spring knife on his waist, his hands and palms are not calloused. He doesn't look like someone who has been using weapons for many years.

Be careful with concealed weapons and poisonous powder."

"I know, when it comes to hidden weapons and poison powder, I am the best in the world!" Chang Xiaowen smiled confidently.

In the guest room, after Zhang Jin washed his face and soaked his feet, he put on his clothes and lay down on the bed. Pillowing behind his head were three sections of the fine steel gun body. The gun head was nailed to his side and he could easily hold it and pull it out.

On the bed board.

He found this three-section stainless steel gun in the arsenal of Lanzhou City. Originally, he just planned to use a long gun as a weapon, but he didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden in the arsenal.

Due to the lack of toughness of the gun body, most soldiers or generals don't like to use stainless steel spears, which just gives him an advantage.

Normally, the three-section fine steel gun body can be hidden just against the outside of the thigh, and the gun head is placed on the other side, which does not affect the movement at all. It can even be taken out from under the clothes suddenly during the battle and inserted directly into the vital part of the enemy's body.

, to achieve unexpected killing effects.

Because he was not sure whether Chang Xiaowen and others would sneak up on him tonight, Zhang Jincai put the stainless steel gun next to him and put the Xiuchun knife on the shelf aside to paralyze the enemy.

With such vigilance, Zhang Jin slowly fell into a light sleep.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the night passes without incident.

Zhang Jin opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. There was a burst of noise outside the window. It sounded like a caravan was getting up early and setting off on the road.

Although he did not fall into deep sleep all night, his energy was still very good. After all, his physique was stronger than ordinary people.

Zhang Jin put on his clothes, hid the three steel spears on his body, then opened the door and walked out with an embroidered spring knife, preparing to go downstairs for breakfast.
