I went upstairs and found the room I had booked earlier. A few minutes after I entered, I suddenly heard a loud commotion downstairs. It should be the guards from the village arriving.
These inns are basically owned by the businessmen who invested in Wuxiangzhai.
So the guard team naturally took it very seriously.
Wherever there are gangsters causing trouble, they have to rush there as soon as possible.
After the noise continued for a while, there was suddenly a sound of fighting downstairs.
Then a loud voice sounded.
"We've already said we didn't do it on purpose, but you still want us to pay money? What the hell? The grandfathers are gone, you can ask whoever you want to pay you back!"
The voice belonged to Zhu Jia Sidan, and it was getting farther and farther away. They must have run away.
After a while, the person who was left downstairs by Yan Xiong came upstairs and told him what happened next.
It turned out that when the guards arrived, they found the shopkeeper and the guests all lying on the ground, and asked them what had happened.
So he went to find the four brothers.
Although it was the scholar's doing, the Zhu brothers actually messed up the entire inn and injured so many people.
Naturally, the guards had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the four brothers for compensation.
The four brothers were poor to begin with, so they had no money to pay compensation. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so, and an argument broke out between the two sides.
Finally, annoyed by the guards, the four brothers simply beat up a few of them and ran away.
After hearing this, Yan Xiong laughed.
I don't know if this Zhu Jia Sidan has a mental problem or what, but when he was causing trouble before, he clearly didn't care about the lives of the guests at all, and looked like a heartless person.
As a result, within a few minutes, they acted as if they were in the wrong and dared not take action, and were chased by some low-level guards.
I really don't know what to say about them.
It was obvious that as long as they showed their strength, the guards would treat them as guests of honor, but it seemed like they were completely unaware of the principle that the strong are respected.
These four brothers have mental problems.
This is another judgment made by Yan Xiong about them.
Since this matter had nothing to do with Yan Xiong, even though he had a drink with the four brothers, he was not harassed by the guards at all.
Of course, the reason for this is that Yan Xiong and his group are not easy to mess with.
Yan Xiong and the others didn't know what happened next. They just explained what happened to the guards and ignored it.
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning, the group checked out of the hotel and prepared to leave Wuxiang Village.
When I checked out, it was still the same shopkeeper.
He looked mentally shrunken.
It seems that although last night's coma did not cause him serious harm, he still had some minor injuries.
Perhaps because he heard that Yan Xiong and his group did not help the person in need, the shopkeeper no longer had the enthusiasm of yesterday, but instead had a cold face.
Yan Xiong didn't mind this.
If you don't even want to save them, how can you not make others hate you
Anyway, we are parting today and I don’t know if we will have the chance to see each other again, so why bother about him.
After checking out of the hotel, the group left Wuxin Village and started heading towards Fancheng at an accelerated speed.
That night, Yan Xiong and his companions did not stay in a nearby deserted village, but rested in the wilderness for one night and set off again early the next morning.
At noon, the group finally arrived at Fancheng, a famous rich border city.
Because of the abundance of minerals, Fancheng's city walls, which are more than 20 feet high, are all built with extremely hard black stone.
From a distance, it looks like a giant black beast squatting on the ground, looking very majestic.
Although Fancheng has seen fewer people recently due to the frequent disturbances by the Blood Knife Sect, it is still much more lively than Sand City.
There were so many people entering the city that there was a long queue.
It took a long time for the group to pay the entrance fee and enter the city.
As soon as we entered Fancheng.
Ah Qi and his companions began to look around.
Sometimes, if a pretty girl passes by, some of them will stare at her, making her look embarrassed.
The group felt like country people entering the city.
Yan Xiong felt embarrassed.
He quickly found an inn to stay in, and after giving instructions to a few people, Yan Xiong went out alone.
The reason why Yan Xiong stopped in Fancheng in broad daylight was not because he wanted to visit the brothel, but because he had something else to do in this city.
After leaving the inn, Yan Xiong walked along the wide street.
"The divine sword of the emperor is priced at five hundred taels. No cheating, come and have a look!"
"The unique skill of Dragon Subduing Palm can slay dragons and subdue tigers. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
"The Deadwood Society is recruiting members. Anyone who joins will receive fifty taels of silver."
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu..."
…
Various passionate sounds mixed together, adding a bit of liveliness to the street.
"Let's go. Xifeng Han Sanniang is challenging Zheng Huazhi of the Deadwood Society. This is a battle between ninth-rank warriors. If we have a chance to comprehend a few moves, maybe we can also have a chance to enter the ninth rank."
A few gangsters hurried past Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong glanced over there and ignored it. Although one of the things he was going to do in Fancheng this time was about the Kurumu Society, he planned to leave this matter for later.
After crossing several streets, Yan Xiong finally found a familiar name.
Fengyun Tower!
I entered the restaurant and took a quick look. Business was good. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was packed.
"As you all know, the largest gang in Central Plains is the Supreme Alliance.
But do you know who the Supreme Alliance leader Guan Yutian relied on to make his fortune
Today, I, an old man, will tell you about this, please don’t spread it around.
It is said that when Guan Yutian was about to be born, a five-clawed golden dragon appeared in the sky for no reason, and the five-clawed golden dragon pounced on Guan Yutian's mother... "
…
Basically, every restaurant that does prosperous business has a storyteller, and Fengyunlou is no exception.
The storyteller's voice was deep and powerful, and the guests were so excited that they felt as if they had become Guan Yutian.
Even Yan Xiong, who was just about to walk towards the counter, paused slightly when he heard the storyteller's narration, then returned to normal and continued walking towards the counter.
The storyteller from Fengyun Tower was talking about Guan Yutian, the leader of the Supreme Alliance, a major gang in the Central Plains.
Yan Xiong was very interested in Guan Yutian.
If we were to ask who would be the biggest enemy of Tianxiahui, then the Supreme Alliance would be one of them.
Only a few decades had passed since the founding of the Supreme Alliance by Guan Yutian, but it had already swept across most of the Central Plains, making many of the top sects in the martial arts world fear it like a tiger.
The Supreme Alliance is different from those sects, it also adopts a gang model.
This model puts it in opposition to the Tianxia Club, which is preparing to dominate the world in the future.
Therefore, when Yan Xiong heard the name of the Supreme Alliance Official Yutian, he couldn't help but want to listen to it.
But after just one sentence, he gave up the idea of listening any further.
There is no other reason, what these storytellers tell are basically just some rumors.
Although the rumors are reliable.
But rather than listen to his exaggerations, it would be better to send someone to the Central Plains to inquire.
"Sir, may I ask if you would like to stay at the hotel..."
Arriving at the counter, a young-looking boy stood up from behind the counter. Before he finished speaking, his eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but shout:
"help… "
"Shh..."
Yan Xiong hissed in response.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The boy reacted and immediately returned to normal.
"Sir, please follow me."
He stepped out of the counter.
"Xiao Ma'er, come and see the counter!" He shouted into the hall and motioned Yan Xiong to follow him.
