A few days later, towards evening, Qin Wanfeng arrived at a place not far from Hangu Pass. It was still the same cliff, the same place that made him heartbroken and extremely frightened! He stood quietly on the spot, looking at the dark red spot on the ground, and recalled the scenes that happened here that day. It was an unbearable past event, and it was the most helpless and frightening thing in his life. , the most overwhelmed moment,

As he walked, he came to a small mound on the roadside. At this time, the place was already covered with some bushes. Qin Wanfeng picked up the sword in his hand and chopped down all the bushes. Then he saw there were A sign made of wooden boards used as tombstones.

The epitaph reads "Tomb of old friend Che Lili" written simply. Looking at this tombstone and this desolate place reminded him of the old man who taught him.

That kind smile, that calm and calm demeanor at all times, that belief in having no desires, and the way that she taught him the truth, influenced him all the time! He looked at the tombstone, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and then said to the tombstone:

"Brother Che Li! After you left! I have already got my wish and entered Qingfeng Mountain to practice martial arts! But I did not rely on the connections my elder brother obtained! I entered on my own ability! I also caught it That opportunity! I vaguely remember that you once told me what courage, perseverance and endurance are! Once you step into the martial arts road, you need to have the confidence and courage to climb to the top! Don't worry, I will keep going!"

After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms. It was an envelope wrapped in kraft paper. This was exactly what his eldest brother Qin Feng had spent fifty taels of silver to get back from the steward Na Wen! He kept it with him and never opened it,

Now, when he comes here again, it reminds him of everything he had with Che Lion before. Perhaps in Che Lion's heart, entering Qingfeng Mountain by his own strength is the greatest comfort to him! So this is the reason why Qin Wanfeng has not opened it!

Qin Wanfeng climbed away from the small mound and buried the letter in the middle of the small mound. Qin Wanfeng looked at the small mound, and then uprooted all the nearby bushes.

Then I found a pine tree on a nearby mountain. The pine tree was relatively short. It seemed that it had just been reborn and was not even close to Qin Wanfeng's knees.

Then, Qin Wanfeng planted a small pine tree next to Na Cheli's tombstone, and then planted a small cypress tree next to it. Looking at the pine and cypress, Qin Wanfeng nodded with satisfaction, then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself He spoke to himself;

"Brother Che Li! I can't go down to accompany you anymore. This pine tree will always be by your side instead of me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a gust of wind blowing. The branches moved wildly by the whistling wind and swayed, as if in response to Qin Wanfeng's words! After doing all this, Qin Wanfeng nodded with satisfaction, and then left! It's just that when I go back again, everything has changed!

After taking a short rest, Qin Wanfeng took advantage of the night to head to Hangu Pass, where there was a small town! Qin Wanfeng vaguely remembered that after arriving at Hangu Pass that day, he and Che Li took a rest here for the night!

The town is already brightly lit at night, and red lanterns are hung at the door of every house! Moreover, because it is close to Hangu Pass, there are more soldiers coming here for recreation!

Qin Wanfeng found an inn, paid for the accommodation, and rested. The inn was not very big, with only about dozens of rooms. The rooms were simply furnished, with only a bed and a table, and no other furniture.

That night, Qin Wanfeng fell asleep very early because he was going to the west to look for the small village during the day, and the most important thing was that he didn't know what the situation was like there!

At night, when Qin Wanfeng was asleep, he was woken up by a rustling sound! Those were the voices of two middle-aged men! If you listen carefully, you will hear it. Qin Wanfeng slowly opened his eyes because the sound next door was really loud. Qin Wanfeng only heard one of the men say:

"Hehe! After I go back this time, I must have a good time! It's been really hard on me for everyone's life!"

"Hey! It's hard on you? It's funny! I won't be hard on you anymore? In order to buy those grains, I went to many stores in the pass! The damn thing is that those vendors are so evil! Once the grains are sold, they actually charge five taels of silver! Damn it! The last time we purchased the price, we only needed three taels at most!"

"Hey! I remembered what you said! Last year it seemed like three liang came from? But this time we only bought such a small amount of food, what should we do?"

"No! If the price is lower! We can buy more! We originally needed to purchase two hundred tons, but now we only have less than one hundred tons! Go back this time! I don't know how the village chief will punish us! "

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qin Wanfeng was no longer sleepy as he was about to fall asleep. He listened attentively and carefully, and then his eyes gradually narrowed. Who would purchase food on such a large scale? Moreover, the behavior of the two of them was extremely suspicious. No vendor would get up in the middle of the night and walk at night, and they still purchased grain in such large quantities, one or two hundred tons at a time, which is a lot! Unless there is something wrong in your heart! So Qin Wanfeng planned to follow up and check it out!

Thinking of this, Qin Wanfeng began to listen again. At this time, there was a rustling sound of closing the door next door. Seeing this scene, Qin Wanfeng was very anxious. He hurriedly put on his clothes and followed behind the two of them.

I saw two middle-aged men who were about thirty-five or sixty years old. They hurried downstairs one after the other, with a baggage in their hands!

Among them, the man in the front is handsome, dressed as a scholar, with a turban on his head and a blue robe. Behind him is a bearded man with a beard, and there is a very obvious stripe on his face that runs through the entire body. The knife marks on the face,

He was wearing a short coat made of tiger skin, and his left arm and entire left shoulder were bare. The bulging muscles gave people a great sense of oppression! Carrying a large knife about half a foot long on his back,

The dark red rust on the broadsword gave people a sinister and bloodthirsty feeling. Qin Wanfeng opened a gap at the door and watched the two people leaving from a distance.

Just as the two were about to go downstairs, the bearded man suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. Seeing this scene, Qin Wanfeng hurriedly closed the door, and the man with beard hurriedly saw that there was nothing unusual behind him. Go downstairs!

Seeing the two of them walking away, Qin Wanfeng stood at the door, patted his chest, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that it was a dangerous situation, and he was almost discovered by the big man.

After the two people went downstairs, they headed straight towards the backyard. In the backyards of some inns, horses and personal belongings are usually kept!

Qin Wanfeng stood in front of the window and listened attentively to the two men's every move. Not long after, he saw the two men pulling more than thirty horses toward the outside of the town.

The sight of more than thirty horses was a sight to behold. The sound of stampeding made some people couldn't help but stick their heads out to check the situation. When they saw the horses carrying bags of grain on their backs, they closed their windows.

Because this kind of situation will happen, usually only valuable items will be carried out at night.

Seeing the two men pulling the cavalry away slowly, Qin Wanfeng picked up his belongings and jumped down, then landed lightly on the ground, and then followed not far behind the two men.

He wanted to check whether these two people were going to the west of Hangu Pass. If these two people were heading west, they were most likely bandits from Heifeng Village, because as far as he knew, that place was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is water, but no food crops are produced, so we need to go down the mountain to purchase daily necessities in large quantities.

But as they followed, Qin Wanfeng frowned, because the two of them did not go west when they left the town, but instead walked east.

This scene made Qin Wanfeng frown together, and he said secretly;

"Is it possible that I guessed wrong? Are they purchasing such large quantities of food supplies really the food stored by a certain merchant?"

Maybe this is really the case. After thinking about this, Qin Wanfeng followed for a while, and when he was sure that the two of them were heading east, he thought about turning around and leaving!
