Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

After two days of continuous travel, they arrived at Qingshan City. The carriage was not very fast, and they traveled about 70 to 80 miles a day.

To the west of Xinyuan County is Fenglin City. Passing through Fenglin City, Qingshan City, and Nanfeng City, you will reach Nanling.

We will be able to enter Nanfeng City tomorrow, and in two or three days, we will be able to reach Nanling City. This is only by horse carriage, if we drive a large truck, we can reach the destination in about a day.

In the evening, five carriages drove into a small town. Wei Hanzhou asked, "Master, will you stay here tonight?"

"Well, Han Zhou, stop the car and ask if there is an inn in this town." Fang Jian nodded.

Wei Hanzhou stopped the carriage and jumped off the driveway: "Okay."

"Young master, this town is a little quiet." After Wei Hanzhou left, the carriages behind him also stopped. Wang Hu walked closer to Fang Jian'an's carriage and said.

Fang Jian said helplessly: "After a day's journey, the brothers are tired. If we don't rest in this town, we can only camp in the wild. Let the brothers be careful."

Wang Hu had no other good solution, so he agreed.

"Young master, there is an inn ahead." Not long after, Wei Hanzhou came back and said loudly from a distance.

He quickly approached and whispered to Fang Ji'an in a low voice, "Master, most of the houses in this town have their doors closed. It's time for dinner now, and there's no smoke from cooking. Should we leave immediately?"

"There's no village or shop nearby. Even if there is danger, it's safer in a small town than in the wild." Fang Jian shook his head.

Wei Hanzhou said no more, got on the carriage, and started driving towards the inn. Wang Hu also returned to his carriage and asked the soldiers to follow.

When the group arrived at the inn, the owner immediately came out to greet them: "Sir, the carriage can be driven to the backyard."

"Are there any rooms with a yard?" asked Francis Xavier.

The boss said in embarrassment: "This is a small shop. We only have two large bunk beds, and one of them has other people living in it."

"Is there no separate room?" Wei Hanzhou immediately asked dissatisfiedly. He asked this because he naturally thought that Fang Jian should live in a separate room.

Fang Jian smiled slightly and took out a few silver dollars: "It's okay, we can stay in the big bunk bed. We'll take the remaining big bunk bed of the boss."

"Okay, everyone, please follow me." The boss took the silver dollar and led a few people into the inn with a smile on his face.

Fang Jian said, "Boss, can we use the kitchen? We have prepared our own food."

"Yes, yes, please follow me, sir," said the boss enthusiastically.

Fang Jianan winked at Wei Hanzhou, who then took two soldiers with him and followed the boss to the kitchen. Fang Jianan then took a few soldiers to the front dining table.

Wang Hu brought a few soldiers and moved the things on the carriage into the room, leaving two people in the room to guard the goods.

Wei Hanzhou’s cooking skills were just so-so. It took him more than an hour to stew the broth and cook the noodles. Since he was away from home, he had to make do with the food.

The shop owner looked at the few people silently, his eyes narrowed, and he was busy at the counter lazily.

After dinner, the group replaced the two people who were guarding the supplies in the room. After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes and returned to the room.

Fang Jian ordered: "Han Zhou, Wang Hu, the two of you will take turns to keep watch tonight, and pay attention to the movements."

"Okay." The two said in unison.

Fang Jian slept in the innermost room, and Wei Hanzhou lay beside him. After a while, Wei Hanzhou began to snore. Wang Hu and two soldiers sat at the door to keep watch, while everyone else went to bed to rest.

"Boom."

In the middle of the night, Fang Jian heard some noises and was suddenly awakened by a gunshot. Wei Hanzhou had already gotten up and was standing by him, and the other soldiers in the room had also woken up.

"Bang, bang, bang." Suddenly, rapid and dense gunshots were heard outside the door.

Wang Hu came up to Fang Jian and said, "Master, there was a gunshot in the opposite room just now."

"Don't act rashly, let's figure out the situation first. Take out the light machine gun, guard the door, and shoot if anyone approaches." Fang Jian ordered.

Fortunately, I brought two light machine guns with me this time. Otherwise, if I only relied on a pistol, I would not know what losses would occur if an exchange of fire broke out.

Glancing at the room, Fang Jian secretly blamed himself for being careless. Except for the door, there was no window in the entire room, otherwise he could have let Wei Hanzhou climb out through the window to investigate the situation.

The sound of gunfire gradually subsided, and many people rushed into the yard and slowly approached the next room.

Someone outside the door whispered, "There's another room here, why not rob it as well."

"Catch the big fish first, then deal with these small fish." Another person scolded in a low voice.

The man who spoke first lowered his voice and said nonchalantly, "Most of the people over there have been drugged. Only a few who didn't go to the front to eat are fine. There's nothing to worry about."

"Okay, take a few people with you and be careful." The other man waved his hand.

Seeing that the people beside him agreed, the man pointed to a few people and said, "You, you, you, the rest of you, follow me."

"Da, da, da." The man and a few others approached Francis Jian's room. When they were looking forward to what good things were in the room, the sound of machine guns rang out.

The leader was beaten to a pulp, and two people around him were also shot dead.

When the machine gun sounded, other people in the yard were also hit. The man who had just ordered his younger brother to go to Fang Jian's room ordered with a gloomy face: "Retreat, retreat from the backyard."

The group of people who entered the backyard retreated in a hurry, leaving behind seven or eight bodies.

"Asshole, what's going on with those people over there? They have machine guns, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The man who ordered the retreat asked the boss viciously after he was captured.

The boss cringed and said in a crying voice: "Third boss, this group of people came in the evening. I wanted to drug them, but they cooked their own food."

"Hmph, no matter who they are, those who dare to hurt me will be taught a lesson." Pushing the boss away, the third in command said.

In Fang Jian's room, Fang Jian ordered: "The backyard is undefended, Han Zhou, can you find a way to get behind the enemy?"

"Don't worry, young master, leave it to me." Wei Hanzhou patted his chest and said with a relaxed look.

Then he said to Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, after I leave, you must protect the young master."

"Don't worry, no one can hurt the young master as long as I'm here." Wang Hu said seriously.

Fang Jian warned: "Han Zhou, you must be careful."

Wei Hanzhou nodded, and took four soldiers, one of whom was holding a light machine gun, and went around through the side door to the main entrance of the hotel.

There was only one light machine gun left, which was placed at the door of the room, always paying attention to the enemies retreating from the backyard and opening fire once they approached.

When Wei Hanzhou and the other four approached the front door, the door of the inn was wide open. Oil lamps were lit inside. Most people were guarding the door leading to the backyard. Three people were sitting on benches next to the table in the hall.
