The Yulong gang can only be regarded as a third-rate gang in Beiliang, but the old gang leader Liu is quite famous, he is a master of boxing both internally and externally. With superior internal strength and mental skills, coupled with his 30-year hard-practiced ancestral cannon, many heroes of the green forest died under the fists of the old gang leader. Unfortunately, the old gang leader was stubborn. The old men from the government encountered a lot of difficulties when they dealt with each other. The gang leader who was not yet old at that time could fight the world with his fists and a few brothers in the gang. Enough money, one after another, wash their hands in gold bowls, retreat into the world, and play with their grandchildren one by one to support their lives. The old gang leader Liu, who can't support the overall situation, is gradually stretched. At this time, he wants to get close to the officials It's better to share some gray jobs that make money every day, even if you carry a pig's head, you can't enter the temple gate. In the past ten or twenty years, those Hong Humen Liujian who can only be said to be juniors in front of the Yulong Gang Pai, because of their filial piety and their willingness to do a lot of shady jobs for the government, are now mostly rich, not to mention the gang leaders, even the guest officials are all rich and powerful, even in Lingzhou, Liangzhou. There are private houses in these big cities where every inch of land is expensive. The Yulong Gang finally realized it later, tightened their belts and bowed their heads and bowed their heads to beg someone to accept tribute money.
The destination of this trip is the remaining city of Jiannanxingtai on the border of Beimang. I helped an old man in Lingzhou City, who is a descendant of a fourth-rank general, buy some silk, satin, rouge and other in-demand goods from the Jiangnan Road of the Empire. Sending them to Beimang for resale, the price difference is quite considerable, but not everyone dares to do this kind of business. The empire and the Beimang Dynasty will not leave hundreds of fresh lives on the border at this moment. Ordinary officials and guides may not be able to pass through the pass safely, but since that dude has an old man who is a powerful general, there is no need to worry that the passes along the way in Beiliang will be too difficult. Bandits and bandits, the Fish and Dragon Gang gritted their teeth to take over this business. Although they were worried about doing the business of licking blood, they could only get a pitiful profit. But mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is, and it can be compared with that The young master formed a love affair, which is more important than earning real money. Last year, Lu, a disciple of the second gang leader of the Yulong Gang, saw that the young master of the Qinglong Gang was doing evil and acted angrily. Not to mention the mutilation of the limbs, the Yulong gang was almost sealed by the government. This is the difference between having a backer and not having a backer. Beating the granddaughter of the old gang leader horribly made everyone in the gang suffocate.
This time, the Fish and Dragon Gang did not dare to be negligent when doing business for the children of the government, except that Mr. Liu mainly stayed in the gang to frighten those petty gangsters who only had a few pieces of fat left to trade in the Fish and Dragon Gang, and the two-handed sword masters. The head of the gang, Xiao Qiang, originally planned to retire in the middle of the month, so he missed the auspicious day. Even Gongsun Yang, the big guest in the gang who has not cared about the world for many years, came back out of the rivers and lakes with the big horned bow, and together with Xiao Qiang, he will assist the future. Liu Nirong who is going to take over from the Fish and Dragon Gang.
The goods were not too much, just enough to fill a carriage. If it wasn't transported to Bei Mang, where the hair is drinking blood, it would be suspected of shooting sparrows with a big bow. It is close to the border, TOEFL is well-developed in the Imperial Post Road, and the Fish and Dragons have been traveling relatively easily these days. A woman in narrow sleeves and tight clothes was sitting in front of the horse, with a long sword in a green sheath hanging from her waist. Her appearance was as clear and charming as a beauty in trouble, but she had an inviolable heroic spirit, probably because her pair of long and beautiful eyes were too cold for the sake. The position of half a horse is different, Xiao Qiang rode his horse forward, although the second gang leader has two-handed swords, but not one sword hanging from each waist, but two swords hidden in a scabbard, very weird and strange, Xiao Qiang's swordsmanship also makes sense The ones in the book are very slanted and vicious, there are seventy or eighty dead souls under the sword if there are no one hundred, which master of the rivers and lakes is not stepped on with his life and reputation? Moreover, many old-school Jianghu people have more names than fates. Jianghu pays attention to revenge for ten generations. Xiao Qiang has found more and more enemies at the gate of the Yulong Gang every year these years. It can be seen that the Yulong Gang is really declining. Great, this trip to Beimang is related to the layout of the Yulong Gang in the next few years, and there may not be clever enemies who take the opportunity to make a move. The vigorous woman stretched out her hand to cover the oncoming wind and sand, glanced at the head of the pass city, looked at the mountain and ran dead horses, saw that it was not far away, in fact there was still a long way to go, and said slowly: "Master, pass the pass , it’s Beimang.”
Although Xiao Qiang's swordsmanship is superb and fierce, he treats people with kindness and good temper, and the woman beside him is his closed disciple, with a knowing smile on his face, he said with a strong Longxi: "For I have only been to Beimang once in my life, and I don’t have any commendable experience when I think about it, but Gongsun Yang’s old boring gourd actually gained his reputation there.”
The extremely handsome woman is obviously Liu Nirong, the granddaughter of Old Liu's gang leader, she asked in surprise, "Isn't Gongsun Keqing from the old West Shu?"
Xiao Qiang touched the scabbard, and sighed softly: "Who doesn't have a hard-to-recite scripture, and Men Hulu doesn't want to say it."
Liu Nirong turned her head and glanced at the carriage. Gongsun Yang, who had been reclusive in the gang, was sitting alone in the carriage. He turned his head again and asked in a low voice, "Master, what do you think is the cost of this cart of goods?"
Xiao Qiang said with a smile: "As far as the goods themselves are concerned, even on the very rich Jiangnan Road, they are not cheap. It takes about six or seven thousand taels to get them. It is impossible to deal with all kinds of ghosts and snake gods without 10,000 taels of silver. But if you go to Beimangliu City, you can sell 35,000 taels of silver and return it to the official's son. All kinds of expenses, earning 16,700 yuan is inescapable. This money, like a snowball, always keeps getting bigger and bigger. As long as you have the capital, connections and background, are you afraid of lack of money? These descendants of the general family, The fathers are busy collecting people's fat and people's anointing, and they are not idle. In all fairness, these young masters are not all idiots. one."
Liu Nirong sighed and said: "The Fish Dragon Gang missed the best opportunity. If they had been able to make up their minds twenty years ago, they might be the biggest gang in Lingzhou today."
Xiao Qiang said helplessly: "So, Nirong, don't blame the old gang leader. He introduced you to the son of the Lu family, a wealthy family in Yuliang, not just because of his family background, so that he can help the fish and dragon gang. The old gang leader As a granddaughter like you, how could you be willing to push you into the pit of fire? As a teacher, I have seen that young man from the Lu family with my own eyes, but he is a little arrogant, and his character is not bad. After all, he has already obtained fame. Even the daughter of the Longmen Sect, the number one sect in Northern Liang, might not be favored by others, although the words about being a teacher are harsh, they are still true."
Liu Nirong remained silent, pursing her lips tightly. Xiao Qiang knew this apprentice's desolate temperament, and after getting into the horns, ten horses could not be pulled back, so he stopped forcing it. After all, this is a private matter of the Liu family. Dude, it's his duty to click to the end, but Xiao Qiang knows very well that whether his life will be comfortable and stable in the future has to be directly linked to the strength of the Fish and Dragon Gang. Naturally, he has a selfish desire to hope that Liu Nirong can marry a good man. Twenty years earlier, the Lu family in Yuliang was just a cold family, and wealth belongs to wealth, but not to mention the noble family, even the small gentry would look down on them, but they seized the opportunity to make friends with a powerful figure in the Northern Liang army, and they were able to Rising in the smoke of spring and autumn, the Beiliang Army is a towering tree with intertwined roots, and the Lu family is considered well-known. Of course, compared with the top ten or so families, it is still a world of difference. But how can Liu Nirong, a Jianghu girl, be able to climb up those high-ranking children who are so powerful and indescribable
Liu Nirong remembered something, let out a long breath, and said with fascination: "Master, I heard that Wudang's new head teacher is the reincarnation of an immortal, who once rode a crane to the south of the Yangtze River, and the old sword god Li fought fiercely with Wang Xianzhi in the East Sea of Wudi City. Afterwards, he killed 2,600 riders with a single sword in Guangling River, and Deng Tai'a, the Peach Blossom Sword God, single-handedly killed the dragon and tiger, and did not give up until he reached the Tianshi Mansion. Is it true that I was blocked by a descendant of the Heavenly Master's Mansion before returning down the mountain?"
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he also looked reverent, and said with a smile: "I have never seen any of these gods and figures in my life as a teacher. How can I know the truth? When Fei Jian said, although I have been practicing swords for thirty years as a teacher, I have never seen one of them. I have never caught the fur of the sword, and it is even more cloudy. However, I would rather believe that the two sword gods are land gods who can control the sword for thousands of miles. At least for us dull juniors who also carry swords A beautiful thought is like we can't afford the delicacies in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, but just thinking about it can always make people salivate."
Xiao Qiang laughed out loud, and Liu Nirong's eyes sparkled.
Out of the corner of her eye, Liu Nirong caught a glimpse of a young man beside her, and she subconsciously frowned. This young man, who can only be regarded as clean, hangs a simple sword on his waist. Liu Nirong only knows that he was sent by the nobleman, but he did not reveal his identity. He is in charge of supervising the delivery of goods. His job is probably to keep an eye on them. The unscrupulous turkey, who has never seen anything in the world, sees his fortune and sneaks away some inconspicuous but expensive little things from piles of goods. How can this make the proud Liu Nirong look at him pleasingly? The young man with the knife hanging was very handsome in appearance and demeanor, and the dozens of vigorous members of the Yulong Gang were not so stupid as to think that he was just a handyman in the fourth-rank general's mansion, and he could go to the north with the Yulong gang after all. As for the role of Mang, there have been many speculations along the way, some say that he is the son of a steward in the fortified general's mansion, and he is in the limelight. It is said that the general's distant relatives received training, and this trip is for experience. But more people are viciously thinking that this embroidered pillow, which is so good that people are jealous, is the best friend of the general. Dirty secret scandals, what's missing
Liu Nirong's mind is clear, of course she doesn't know why the eyes of the young man are so playful for the people in the house, anyway, for the past ten days, it is safe and sound, since the man does not cause trouble, of course she will not seek his bad luck, privately Once asked Master Xiao Qiang how skilled this strange man was, Xiao Qiang only said that he couldn't see it, and she was relieved, most likely he was a boring person who used that single knife as an ornament, anyway, the Gaoliang children from the rich and powerful families, all Such a mouthful, obviously compared to being hollowed out by wine and lust, and weaker than a scholar to fight back, but likes to wear a knife and a sword, it is really vulgar!
There has always been a clear distance between the single-handed man's ride and the Yulong gang.
Seeing Liu Nirong's peeping gaze, he responded with a slight smile.
Liu Nirong turned her head with a cold face.
