Jingzhou is located in the northwest of Yue State. Because it is located in a remote place, there are few large cities, but towns and small towns are common. There are mostly hills and hills in the territory, and there are many desolate and uninhabited places. Because of this, Jingzhou has far more bandits and thieves than other states, and it is also a place with the most mixed martial arts figures. There has never been any big rivers and lakes forces that can dominate this area. However, this has also caused the people here to be tough, and caravans like escort bureaus have sprung up, which is in stark contrast to the number of bandits in Jingzhou.
On this day, on the side of a dirt road in the wilderness, a scene often seen in various parts of Jingzhou was staged again.
Hundreds of sturdy men in rough clothes, all with black scarves on their heads, brandishing all kinds of weapons, are besieging more than 30 people in Tsing Yi. Surrounded by people in Tsing Yi, several tall carriages were surrounded by groups. It was a fierce scene of bandits fighting the bodyguards.
Behind these bandits, there were three other men in black with similar faces, watching the scene coldly, with fierce expressions on their faces from time to time.
And near the carriage, there were several strong young men dressed in the costumes of servants who also held sticks, their faces slightly nervous. In the three or four carriages at the back, there were several women and children in gorgeous costumes, and in the largest carriage at the front, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a calm expression sat in it. This person's three long beards are black and shiny, although he looks powerless, he has an inexplicable aura of being in the top position for a long time, which makes people dare not take it lightly.
Opposite the middle-aged Confucian scholar, there was a bearded man in a blue brocade suit sitting there cross-legged with his back against the wall of the car. This man had big hands and eyes that shot out.
The identities of these two people are obviously different, and their expressions are calm and composed, but there are only these two people in such a large carriage, and there is no third person to ride with them.
The two were silent at the moment, but through the half-closed windows of the carriage, they could still clearly see the situation outside. The sounds of killing and screams from outside could be heard inside the carriage from time to time.
There were many bandits with black scarfs on their heads, while the guards in the green clothes were more skilled. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Seeing this situation, the Confucian scholar smiled slightly, and suddenly said to the bearded man opposite, "It seems that the Tianwu Escort Bureau can handle it without hard work!"
"Hehe! If the three heads of the Black Scarf Thief don't take action, the Tianwu Escort Bureau will naturally be able to deal with these miscellaneous fish. If the three of them make a move, these bodyguards and buddies will be unable to resist. After all, the three members of the Black Scarf Thief The leader is also a well-known ruthless character on the Jingzhou Road. I heard that the three of them are brothers, and they are very good at teaming up. An ordinary expert is far from an opponent." As the big man said, his face was faintly excited, and at the same time stretched The thick fingers flexed slightly, and there was a "cracking" and "cracking" sound, which was clearly caused by the peak of the outer martial arts.
"Brother Li! When it comes to fighting with others, he is so itchy and unbearable, just like Uncle Li before." Seeing the appearance of the big man, the Confucian scholar burst out laughing. It looked like a big man had nothing to do.
"Han Xiandi, this is a natural thing. Our Li family is a martial arts family. When we meet some interested opponents, we naturally want to stretch ourselves. This is the same as your Han family's scholarly family. There will always be one or two people. It is the same reason to be an official in the court. But what makes me wonder is, our Han and Li families are so different, how could we become family friends? And it has lasted for so many years, and the generations can be so good as before!" The big man clasped his hands together Hug, said a little puzzled.
"Hehe! A few days ago, I accidentally turned over some letters, and I also know some things about the past. If Brother Li wants to know, I can tell you a little bit, but if there is any truth in it, I will tell you a little bit about it. I don’t know.” Confucian scholar said with a light smile.
"Really! It's a pity that our Li family doesn't have the habit of recording the affairs of our ancestors. Apart from leaving behind a few sets of excellent martial arts, we didn't mention anything about how our Han and Li families interacted back then." Hearing the words, the big man surnamed Li showed curiosity and seemed quite interested.
"No, those three guys really made a move. Brother, wait a moment, I will send those three people away, come back and talk to me about this matter." The big man with beards glanced outside, and said with a slightly changed expression, Then with a "swish", the man shot out of the carriage like a crossbow.
Then there was the sound of the man laughing wildly outside, and the screams of fighting broke out loudly.
The Confucian scholar sighed, shook his head lightly and lowered the car curtain, and stopped looking outside, as if he had full confidence in the big man.
After a cup of tea, the sound outside finally faded away.
When the door curtain of the caravan moved, a big man flashed into the car, his shoulders were slightly red, and he seemed to have suffered a slight injury, but he laughed at the Confucian scholar and said: "These three guys really have some tricks!" , I spent a little more time. But these three people were also shot dead by me, and the black scarf bandits have disappeared in Jingzhou since then." The big man with beards looked very happy.
Seeing this, the Confucian scholar showed an apologetic look on his face: "If brother Li hadn't followed me this time, I'm afraid the road to worship the ancestors back home would have been the way for me, Han Rui, to die. It seems that those enemies really treated me. Hate to the bone! However, Brother Li has been implicated because of this."
"What's the trouble? Isn't it because your Han family helped each other several times for the Li family to be able to stand safely in the rivers and lakes? It's our job to support each other." The big man surnamed Li said indifferently.
"That's true, but Han is hypocritical." The Confucian scholar smiled, and his expression returned to normal, but he is also a person who can afford to let go.
"However, Brother Han Xian! Don't forget to tell me about the past of the two families, I'm very curious about it!" The big man took out a bottle of golden sore medicine and wiped it on his shoulders, and asked after suddenly remembering this.
"That's natural. Speaking of it, the process of forming a family relationship between your two families is really incredible. Do you still remember the Qixuanmen that dominated Jingzhou City decades ago? The ancestors of our two families once lived in the This Jianghu gang has been a senior brother. According to the handbook, an uncle of our Han family and an ancestor of your Li family are like brothers in Qixuanmen, supporting each other. From then on, our two families We just started to make friends. And our uncle is even more extraordinary, it is said that back then... "
Amid the faint voice of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, after the men in Tsing Yi buried the bodies of both parties on the spot, several carriages drove forward again, and gradually went away, disappearing from this desolate place.
"Qingniu Town?"
Han Li was floating hundreds of meters high in the sky with a blue light all over his body. He looked at the small town below him with a hint of doubt on his face.
Although this small town is pitifully small, only a few miles in size, but compared with the small town in his impression with only one street, there is no trace of resemblance. But according to the location in his memory, this is indeed the Qingniu Town back then.
It seems that he has not been back for more than a hundred years, and the small town of that year has become a real town. Han Li stared blankly in the air for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly cast a concealment spell, and appeared in an alley that no one noticed, and then walked out of the alley with a large figure, and walked along the narrow alley. The street moves forward slowly.
"It's really different!" Han Li murmured to himself as he looked at the strange houses and attics on both sides of the street.
For some reason, knowing that as long as he flies a little further to the west, he will be able to see the small mountain village where he was born and the big dark green mountain, but he hesitates, and involuntarily settles down in the changed Qingniu Town .
At this moment, Han Li appeared calm and unhurried, but in his heart he hoped to find a trace of familiar shadows in his memory from both sides. But so far, he's been disappointed.
Suddenly Han Li's footsteps slowed down, and he stopped at a three-way intersection. He stared at a dilapidated small restaurant beside the intersection, and remained motionless in place.
This restaurant is short and old, only two floors in size. A dark yellow plaque with the word "Chunxiang" is hung on the door of the restaurant. It is the old place where Han Li once lived for two days. Chunxiang Restaurant.
Looking at this restaurant, Han Li's vague memories of the past suddenly opened the floodgate.
The round-faced and chubby third uncle, the extremely small courtyard behind the restaurant, the dimly lit wing room, the delicious food, the black carriage with the flag of the Seven Profound Sect... All these and so on were clearly presented in front of Han Li's eyes. .
Han Li looked at the restaurant with a complex look on his face, and a gloomy look in his eyes.
He looked at the restaurant for a while, and suddenly found that the passers-by looked at him with strange expressions. It's no wonder that a young man staring at a dilapidated restaurant without moving is indeed a bit weird.
Han Li thought for a while, his expression returned to normal, he put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the restaurant.
