The outlier of the young man with the sword is taken for granted by the dozens of elite fighters of the Fish and Dragon Gang as a gentry of the government. Two words, hypocritical.
Some of the younger members of the gang were worried at first that if this handsome boy were to be impressed by Ms. Liu, they, who have been close to the water for many years, would be too slapped in the face. Of course, they were wary and wanted to tie him up. Later, seeing Liu Nirong's indifferent attitude, As if relieved, the malicious slander against the guy with the knife at first also faded away, after all, a slap can't be slapped, and besides, they always make fun of others, which also makes them seem small-bellied. Fortunately, this young man who claimed to be surnamed Xu did not rely on his power to dictate to the Yulong Gang. The two sides did not interfere with the river water, so they came to the pass at the junction of Beiliang and Beimang. Song Zhiqiu, the great calligrapher of the dynasty, wrote, and merchants came and went in an endless stream, and the markets on both sides of the city gate were very lively. There were few soldiers here, and compared with most of the border cities, it lacked a lot of chilling atmosphere.
There is a ruins of the foundation of an old city tower, made of rubble and cobblestones, with cracks, moss, and messy rubble. Many young children living near Guancheng are chasing and playing on it. A strong man is wearing a blue cloth coat and a red cloth ribbon around his waist. , the tiger's eyes widened, and he picked up a huge sword that was much simpler than the army's standard horse-chopping knife, and the tip of the knife slashed the ground, and he climbed up to the base of the platform in such a menacing manner, with a cold snort, he stabbed the big knife into the ground, and stood around his chest.
The adults hastily and carefully walked around this burly man to grab their children off the platform. A naughty child was as slippery as a loach. The child's mother was in her early twenties, and the frontier was rough with wind and sand. They never thought that this young woman's skin was like oil. , with her slender waist and small feet, she couldn't catch up with the naughty children. Under the platform, the merchants and the local people laughed together. Spitting out date stones and molesting, the girl's pretty face flushed. The child passed by a strong man with a saber, a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and was about to touch the blade of the knife, but was frightened by the man's fierce stare. Crying loudly, the girl in plain clothes with double breasts hurriedly hugged the child, looked at each other softly and apologetically, and was too timid to speak.
The black-faced man in his thirties blushed for no reason, he was probably a thick-skinned young man, seeing the little lady in front of him, Shui Ling, he managed to create an image of a high-handed person with a straight face, all of a sudden, those people The rascals in the market are even more wild and booing.
Every ten days and a half months on this dilapidated platform, people from all walks of life compete in martial arts here. Although my young lady is a decent woman, she has lived in the village near Daumaguan all year round. The reckless man facing the knife is not too afraid. Beiliang is barren and cold. Compared with the rich and fertile Jiangnan, if you want to survive, you have to eat something from God's teeth. The folk customs are simple and brave at the same time. Martial arts, the government does not prohibit private fighting between warriors, but if one person is accidentally injured, it is a serious crime to serve as an army. If the number of accidental injuries reaches more than three, he will be punished on the spot. Without hundreds of taels of silver to honor the soldiers, he will not survive. Come down, in today's world, how many people can have dozens of taels of silver in their pockets if they know how to show their fists and embroider their legs? With the support of his mother, the child wiped the teary face of the little black cat carelessly, and made a face at the strong man. The man who was about to compete with others scratched his head helplessly, obviously he was not a vicious person. Originally, the child wanted to stretch out his legs and kick this stingy black charcoal that was not even allowed to be touched by a knife, but luckily his mother quickly pulled him away, and Rourou reprimanded him a few times.
The black-faced burly man seemed not to look sideways, but out of the corner of his eye, he cast his eyes on the buttocks dug up by the little lady after bending over slightly. Compared with her figure, her buttocks are too upturned, and it is difficult to support her two full petals, which makes her look even more beautiful. It's not that the man who cut the saber has malicious intentions. He is indeed a bit tough, but he doesn't bother to do that. A bloodthirsty flower picker who has no conscience, if it comes to activities such as robbing women, he is a wandering soul with no roots and no roots, and he absolutely doesn't have the capital to do it. As for wandering kites, what should I do if I don't have money? Didn't this just date a well-known swordsman on the border today, thinking that even if he is injured, he will have to rely on a saber to gain some word-of-mouth, so that some wealthy people will be favored, and it is best to be the instructor of the nursing home .
Xiao Qiang went to bring the goods and the captain of the pass to show the official guide plate. The king of hell said, the little devil is hard to deal with, and he will definitely not pass the test in a short time. This matter should have been done by Liu Nirong. Qiang doesn't care about letting the gang leader's granddaughter to experience and accumulate this bit of sophistication. If there is a problem with a car of goods, the Yulong gang can barely afford to pay for it, but if you offend the famous general Zhongzi, it will really hurt your muscles and bones, so Just don't let Liu Nirong show up, and if there is a private letter from the official record, it must cost a lot of money, so she can leave the country smoothly. Liu Nirong wandered around with a few entourages, and met her master Xiao Qiang half an hour later at the gate of the city. Liu Nirong wanted to take advantage of this trip to recruit one or two gangsters to join the gang. If she really wanted to take over The Yulong Gang, without any direct lineage of their own, will inevitably be unable to hold their heads up, and it is not beautiful after all to restrain their hands and feet in everything.
She and six or seven young members of the Ichthyosaur Gang came to the vicinity of the platform with the flow of people, and several local snakes who wanted to get close to them were gently knocked away by the flower protectors around Liu Nirong. And retreat, after all, this is not Lingzhou, if it gets tricky, who will sell the face of the Yulong Gang that I have never heard of. How big are the rivers and lakes today? Half-baked Jianghu people who have been around for a while can report a lot of them casually. The so-called sects, temples, temples, and Dao Zhaihui Palace, not to mention other places, in Lingzhou, there are more than forty people who can report their names. It’s ugly, it’s hard to get a good name. The Yulong Gang made their debut early, so they got the not-so-cheesy name of Yulong. After leaving Lingzhou, there is probably the Yulong Gang with the same name in the whole rivers and lakes. There are eight or nine if there are not ten.
There was a loud shout, and Liu Nirong turned her head to look, and a swordsman in white clothes like snow stepped on the shoulders of the crowd, with an air of dust, the swordsman who showed off his hand nodded his shoulder in Liu Nirong's direction Come on, how could Liu Nirong bear this kind of humiliation of being stepped on shoulders and crossed her head, the famous sword around her waist was unsheathed slowly, her eyes were sharp, and the handsome swordsman with a peach blossom face squinted his eyes, seeming to sense that Liu Nirong With sharp aura, he made a slight turn, stepped on the shoulders of the nearby people watching the battle, and swept to the base of the platform.
If you don't have any real skills, you don't dare to appear on the stage like him. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, if you step on it, you will step into a big pit, and if you are pulled by a master, you will be dragged to the ground and thrown to the ground. This is a trick fart. The next step is to follow the rules of the martial arts. The two sides of the competition must first register their names loudly, either splashing dirty water on each other, or flattering each other. In the fight between life and death, you have to have respected seniors in the world as witnesses, and let the two parties sign the life and death certificate. Don’t think that everything will be fine at this time. After all the bets are fully collected, the game can start. After all, there are many fights, and the real masters fight, and the winner is often decided within a cup of tea. If it is an ordinary competition, it is even more necessary to encourage and shout. This is beneficial to both parties in the competition, and the worst thing is to be booed by the audience who do not buy it. The leader of the gang, he is still regarded as a big joke by many sworn enemies and disgusted by the shabby scene of his debut.
Many people around Liu Nirong brought long benches with great interest, dragging their families to sit and wait for the show, and there were even dozens of candied haws hawkers shuttled back and forth, and the greedy children were clamoring for their parents to pay for a few copper coins . There was a lot of people under the platform, so it was very lively. Liu Nirong looked around and didn't take it lightly. The Yulong Gang has not been treated well by other gangs in Lingzhou in the past two years, and the master Xiao Qiang who won the title of Shuangxuanyan by taking people's lives has made countless enemies. No one came to avenge and provoke. No matter how big Lingzhou’s business is, there is a limit. There are dozens of sects standing on this three-thirds of an acre. Everyone wants to take other people’s jobs into their own hands. At the critical juncture of "ZTE", not to mention gangs of similar power, I am afraid that the Yulong Gang will grow stronger, even some big gangs want to blackmail the Yulong Gang. Liu Nirong knows that no one can buy it in the past. Be careful again.
The few strangers around her made Liu Nirong very afraid. A group of merchants who handed in official documents together just outside the city gate, such as the Fish and Dragon Gang selling expensive items such as rouge and gouache, is considered a big deal, but everyone knows the real The most powerful ones are those shady salt and iron smugglers. Once this kind of thing is discovered, the family will be ruined. No matter how many officials and lords you have behind you, once the Northern Liang army finds out, you will be the fourth rank from the third rank The big officials in the borderlands will be beheaded and passed on to the public. The next step is to sell horses, buy horses from Beimang, and sell them to the military and government of Beiliang or private individuals. The danger on the waistband requires not only a familiar and strong relationship in Beiliang, but also reliable and powerful figures in Beimang to help pave the way. At this time, Liu Nirong has a group of horse dealers, who seem to be dressed as merchants. The body is vigorous and the spirit is restrained. The other group even pointed at her openly, showing no sign of hiding it.
Liu Nirong said softly: "Be careful, don't patronize the competition in the stands."
The youths of the Fish and Dragon Gang around them all nodded silently.
For some reason, when Liu Nirong saw the young man squatting on a pile of adobe walls connected to the mountain in the distance, holding a bunch of candied haws in one hand, lowering his head to bite, he was not watching the martial arts competition on the platform like them, but Looking at the top of Daomaguan City, she was stunned for a moment, a little bit crying and laughing, this guy has a leisurely mood, he really doesn't have the slightest taste of a reckless warrior. Why did the general's mansion get such a number one person to "guard the darts"? Liu Nirong was not in the mood to scrutinize the identity of this young man with a saber, and continued to cast her gaze on the platform. She had to admit that the man who cut the saber had amazing physical strength, and he could only see the light of the sword when he swung it with a big sword weighing about forty kilograms. , the swordsman in white clothes like snow is even more superb in swordsmanship. He cut the horse with a sword and walked in the courtyard. With a sword in his hand, he lifted it lightly and slowly. , which made Liu Nirong want to attract.
On the top of the adobe wall, of course, is our Royal Highness Xu Fengnian.
Candied gourds strung on bamboo sticks, sweet and sour, the syrup is thick and light yellow, although it is a low-quality syrup that is stingy from the hawker, it has a unique flavor, the candies are crisp but not greasy. There was only the last hawthorn left, and as he was about to sip, he saw a kid squatting beside him, staring at him intently. The family background is not very good, but they are dressed cleanly and not as sloppy as ordinary poor children. Seeing His Royal Highness turning his head, the child hurriedly pretended to watch the fight on the platform. Throwing away the bamboo stick, he stretched out his hand and handed out the other bunch of candied haws that hadn’t finished eating yet. The child turned his head sideways, looked at the tempting candied haws from the corner of his eyes, and swallowed his saliva. Habit of asking for money from strangers, showing two canine teeth, blushing and shyly shaking his head.
Zhitong hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to make up his mind. He turned his head and looked at His Royal Highness with wide eyes.
Xu Fengnian turned around with a puzzled expression.
The child pointed at Xu Fengnian's Spring Thunder Knife hanging from his waist.
Obviously, in the eyes of the child, no matter how greedy he is, a bunch of candied haws is nothing compared to touching this real knife.
Which child does not have a world in his heart
Xu Fengnian smiled, took off the saber generously, and handed it to the child.
The child's eyes were full of joy and surprise, and he hugged the Chunlei Knife, which was not really heavy, with both hands.
It seems that it is so simple, it embraces the world.
