Today I wasted too much time by various things, and it was almost ten o'clock when Li Qinglin and the others finished their meal.

At this time, a young man came over from the Tongjia Teahouse opposite. He found Li Qinglin and said that Li Wancai had rented two rooms opposite and asked him to go to the Tongjia Teahouse to stay with him at night.

Starting from Wan'an County, Li Wancai has always stayed in a better hotel alone, while Li Qinglin and Xiaoliuzi usually stayed in a big car shop. Li Wancai was scared by the bandits this afternoon and the mischief of the officers and soldiers at night. After moving into the Tong's teahouse, he was still frightened, afraid that something would happen suddenly.

Li Qinglin's calmness and accurate shooting skills in the afternoon and evening left a deep impression on him, so he opened a double room at night, and Li Qinglin had a gun with him in the same room at night, so that he felt safer in his heart.

Tongjia Teahouse is a wooden building with two floors above and below. The lower floor is a teahouse and sells snacks and wine and food. The upper floor is a guest room. The guest room has a single room and a multi-person room. The teahouse can also provide wine and food, so the grade is relatively high and the accommodation fee is much more expensive.

Li Qinglin took a spear and followed the guy to the Tong Family Teahouse. As soon as he stepped on the stairs on the second floor, he saw a man walking down the stairs. This man was the Japanese Kobayashi.

It turns out that you didn't run away secretly, but you just stayed in this hotel, Li Qinglin thought to himself.

Li Qinglin walked upwards with expressionless eyes, but Xiaolin, who was walking down, looked at him with her eyes for a while.

What is this guy doing all day? Qian Duofu was with him last time, but this time he changed someone else. Does he have any new tasks?

Now that Kobayashi has begun to notice him, Li Qinglin decided that it would be better to find an opportunity to contact him directly tomorrow, and maybe he can explore his bottom line.

Early the next morning, the convoy continued to move forward.

The repelling of bandits yesterday was word of mouth, and the results of the battle were expanded several times. The hundreds of bandits were exaggerated by people to have thousands of bandits with guns. The gunmen in the convoy were all said to be sharpshooters who were all shot every time. People named the convoy "Invincible Convoy".

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." Once this invincible convoy was called away by people, there were no more bandits along the way. But it also brought a trouble, that is, more and more big cars and passengers joined along the way. In addition to the big cars, some people carrying sedan chairs, carrying loads, and hiking relatives, as long as they could go along the way, they would definitely join them to act together, which slowed down the speed of the convoy.

Li Qinglin and Xiaolin had their first direct contact, which was at noon the next day when the convoy was having a meal on the way.

Mules and horses have limited physical strength. They must stop and let them rest for a while after a period of time, feed them with food and drink water. Those who are too tired have to untie the bridles and let them roll on the ground to relieve fatigue. The axles of wooden wheels and trucks are made of wooden wheels, and after walking for a while, they need to stop and refuel to reduce the friction of the axle. People who sit in the car for a long time are also boring, and they also need to get off the car and be convenient or slither away. Therefore, there are always several tea stalls and sheds for food next to the official road to facilitate the pedestrians passing by and convoys to rest.

Li Qinglin and Xiaolin's cars are both rubber wheel trucks, and the axles are made of steel ball bearings, so they do not need to refuel frequently like wooden wheel trucks, and it is very labor-saving to pull the mule. Therefore, after lunch, Li Qinglin checked the situation of the cart slightly, and there was nothing to do, and the rest time was more than other handlebars.

Xiaolin's car was very close to Li Qinglin's car today. Li Qinglin walked along the convoy for a while and saw Xiaolin.

The black-faced man in his thirties who was driving the car for Kobayashi was not by the side of the car. Maybe he was idle and wandering around. The cotton curtain was wide open in front of Kobayashi's carriage. He sat in the large carriage with a wooden board flat on his legs, with paper and notebooks on it. He was writing and drawing with a pen. Sometimes he lowered his head and wrote and drawing, and sometimes he even poked his head out to look around.

Xiaolin looked very busy, but she was very alert. When Li Qinglin wandered to his cart, he stopped what was in his hand and placed his right hand beside him. The 38th cover was very close to his hand.

Li Qinglin walked to the car pretending to be careless. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered to Kobayashi in Japanese: "You are Japanese!"

Kobayashi was nervous, then pretended to be calm and said in Chinese: "I can't understand what you said, I'm Chinese."

Kobayashi's Chinese is quite fluent, and it can be heard from his accent that he learned the Northeast accent. But when he spoke "I am Chinese" to deny it, it means that he can understand Japanese, which is equivalent to admitting that he is Japanese in disguise.

Li Qinglin smiled and said softly in Japanese: "You can't deceive me because I'm also Japanese." After that, he walked back to his car without looking back, leaving Kobayashi alone in the car.

After the final battle, the convoy continued to walk to the next stop, because the "Invincible Convoy" is now famous and the journey is safe. Everything went smoothly today. I arrived at a accommodation on time and the convoy stopped to rest.

This is a big town, with a river facing the back of the mountain and a very lively drought pier. Li Wancai had already greeted him yesterday, so today Li Qinglin settled the cart and Xiao Liuzi in the cart shop. After dinner, Li Qinglin took a rifle to Li Wancai to rest.

The hotel where Li Wancai rested today is a more formal hotel. A large plaque was hung on the main entrance of the hotel, with four big words "Lvyang Hostel" written on it. A wooden couplet was hung on the door posts on both sides, engraved with "No one's house when you go east, leave this unique store."

The plaques and couplets were written in Han Li style, and the large characters were filled with black lacquer. The words and sentences were timeless, the calligraphy was vigorous and ancient. Seeing Li Qinglin stopping to appreciate the couplets and plaques, the clerk of the Green Poplar Hotel enthusiastically introduced him to the origin of the plaques and couplets. This plaque and couplets were written by a retired official who retired to the Qing Dynasty. On the way back to his hometown, he stayed in the Green Poplar Hotel overnight and felt extremely satisfied, so he left behind the treasures. The shop of the Green Poplar Hotel is proud of this and carefully kept it, so it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Li Qinglin was listening to the little guy's introduction, and at this time, a person came out of the store. He was the handlebar that drove Xiaolin to the car. The man in his thirties came out of the door and clasped his fists and said to Li Qinglin: "This car owner, our boss, please sit together."

After saying that, he smiled again: "You look really like our boss."

He took the initiative to send someone to invite him, which showed that Xiaolin finally couldn't help it. Li Qinglin's tactic of trying to get in the afternoon worked.

Li Qinglin also clasped his fists and smiled: "People are so angry that they are so angry that they are the same person and different from their fate. He is a big boss, and I am just a big cart driver, so I dare not compare with him. Or you can inform me first and ask your boss to wait for a while. I will go and support my boss and come over. I wonder where your boss is waiting for me?"

The person who came to the house said: "My boss wants me to invite you tonight. Now I will go to meet your boss with you to take a leave, and then I will take you to meet my boss."

Li Qinglin met Li Wancai with a black-faced man. Li Wancai had already agreed to see the sky. Li Qinglin put down his big gun and followed the black-faced man to the backyard of Green Willow Hostel.

Kobayashi lived in the fourth room in the last row. The black-faced man led Li Qinglin into the room and took him to the door. Only Li Qinglin and Xiaolin were left in the room.

There was a square table in the middle of the room, surrounded by long stools. There was a large pot of steaming chicken soup in the middle of the table, and there were some dishes around the chicken soup, as well as a pot of wine and two bowls and chopsticks and wine glasses.

Xiaolin sat in a position facing the door. Behind him was the earth wall, leaning against the big gun, Li Qinglin glanced at him and the security behind the bolt had been opened. Li Qinglin had already entered the house, but Xiaolin sat there motionless, staring at Li Qinglin without blinking, hiding his right hand under the table.

Li Qinglin knew that Xiaolin must have a pistol in her hand, and the pistol must have been hit by fire. So he stood there and untied his coat and signaled to Xiaolin that he did not carry any weapons.

After confirming that Li Qinglin did not have any weapons, Kobayashi's figure was obviously relaxed. He signaled to Li Qinglin and said in Japanese: "Please sit, please have a meal."

Li Qinglin was surprised that Kobayashi actually had a Tokyo accent.

Li Qinglin was not polite at all. After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food and ate it, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

At this moment, Kobayashi suddenly said coldly: "You are not Japanese at all. Who are you?"

As he said that, Xiaolin looked straight, Li Qinglin felt that the pistol that Xiaolin was hiding under the table had aimed at him.
Chapter completed!
