Li Wei stood straight on the bow of the ship that was rushing by the river, looking at Jiuli City in the distance. I saw that the city wall was pitch black and towering, and dozens of enemy-viewing towers that were several times taller than the city wall stood on the vast plain outside the city. He drove birds, and soldiers wearing armor flew out of the tower from time to time and disappeared into the clouds.

On both sides of the river under the tower, various types of houses and houses gathered, stretching for dozens of miles. It is the suburbs of Jiuli City, and the number of residents living in it is not less than that in the city.

The Bian River divides four tributaries here, flowing into the city along the four city gates "Cangli Gate", "Chili Gate", "Moli Gate" and "Qingli Gate", and another moat 12 meters wide was dug to divert the river water around the city.

The moat, city walls, the enemy tower and even the entire Jiuli main city were covered by layers of gauze-like light curtains.

These light yarns are of varying depth and erratic, very similar to the aurora that only appears on the North Pole and South Pole of the Earth. They rise from the ground and connect to the sky to resist the large-scale invasion of the dead spirits and evil demons.

...

At the edge of the pier, ships of all kinds are moored, with the masts and wind flags as dense as jungle.

After getting off the boat.

Li Ling is surrounded by stars like the moon, most of whom are familiar with each other, and everyone is chatting and laughing. Some are concerned about the dangers along the way, some are praiseful and praise, and some are suggested to go to Tiange tonight to welcome the weather.

These young heroes are the top small group of people in a state. They either have strong magic power, extraordinary mental power, or pure immortal body. None of them is a vulgar person, and they are surrounded by servants and maids.

Li Wei observed and the old servants following these people had their eyes like torches, and the pores of their skin were filled with wisps of magical air. This was a sign of magical power overflowing only when they reached the peak of Yongquan.

Those who can follow these prides of heaven are definitely not ordinary servants, and they also have a certain status in the family.

After searching for it, I didn’t see Gao Huan, Cai Yutong and others.

Cang Li naturally noticed Li Wei and nodded to him from afar. He wanted to contact and care, but was pushed by his friends around him and rushed to the city like a cheer. He had to instruct an old servant beside him to go to the reception.

Li Ling had long been submerged in the bustling crowd and gradually disappeared towards the city gate.

The old servant sent by Cangli to receive was not old. He was only in his fifties and was named Li Qi. He and Zhao Zhizhuo were actually old acquaintances when he was young, but the former was already the seventh spring cultivation level.

He said: "Tonight, the young clan leader and the others must have gone to Tiange to welcome the fourth girl. It is the most luxurious and romantic place in Jiuli City. Only the children of the big clan and top martial artists can afford it. Brother Zhao has also been there back then, so he must have known it. The young clan leader just ordered that you can go together."

Li Qi didn't know that Li Yi had ever been kind to the Cangli tribe, and he thought that the young clan leader was too generous and friendly, but in some occasions, people who shouldn't go would cause a lot of embarrassment. So he said he was inviting, but every sentence was telling the people in front of him not to go.

As a servant, he can only speak more tactfully and not too straightforward.

Li Wei didn't want to be too deeply involved with the Cangli tribe, and he knew that the luxury of romance was not the one who is now qualified to touch him. He was not a person of the same class, and he would only be embarrassed to integrate into him.

He knew some human nature, so when Zhao Zhizhuo looked over angrily, he waved his hand with a smile: "I can't go, in that big scene, we, a group of plain clothes and mud legs, dare not go there. Will it embarrass the young patriarch if we go?"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Li Qi's eyes. This young man who knows how to advance and retreat is much more cute.

Li Wei said: "But since the young clan leader has invited us, it is very difficult for Mr. Li to explain. Let's just turn it into cash, and we will find a place to have a night of sleep first. Lao Zhao, how much money will it cost to all of us to go to Tiange?"

Zhao Zhizhuo was clear at a glance and said, "If so many of us go there, then we have to... Qianyin!"

Li Wei looked at Li Qi with a smile.

From Li Qi's unhappy look, he took the brocade bag containing a thousand silver coins, but everyone was not happy at all.

"First respect the silk clothes and then respect others! I can understand. Let's make better clothes tomorrow." Zhao Meng kept showing his upper body. With his body shape, the clothes could only be customized.

Zhao Zhizhuo thought of many past events and sighed: "It's not a matter of clothing."

On the boat, Li Yiu discussed with Senior Coffin, and the other party's advice was:

Don't live in the city first.

Before the funds are not strong enough, don’t buy a house. You can rent a house in a prosperous suburbs near the city. The strong world law here will not lose much to the city, but the price is much cheaper.

After Li Wei's idea of ​​renting a house, Zhao Zhizhuo agreed very much.

He said: "In the city, we will not be attacked by dead spirits and evil demons. It seems safer, but it is also easier to be targeted by people we cannot afford to offend."

"Although the suburbs are a little more dangerous and mixed, who is really powerful, who lives in the suburbs? So, even if we are targeted, we still have certain ability to deal with it."

"At the moment we take a step back, even if we encounter a large-scale attack on the Spirit, as long as we live close enough to the city, we can escape into the city as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhizhuo knew that Li Yi was afraid to be too deeply involved with Cang Li and Li Ling, and was unwilling to rely on the power of the Cang Li tribe, so they were all thinking about the optimal solution based on their own strength.

In the next two days, Zhao Meng and Zhao Zhizhuo ran all over the southern suburbs and finally settled the house.

The front yard and the back yard are combined, covering an area of ​​three acres, with more than ten rooms, only a few hundred feet away from the moat, and are located in a prosperous suburbs. It can be said that everyone is very satisfied with all aspects, except for the price.

The monthly rent is as high as 1,300 silver coins.

All the coins on Li Wei added up, which was only enough to rent for less than a year.

There is no way. With Lao Meng's six-meter-high physique, there are two bad races, Lao Liu and Lao Guan. The yard is small, and when he is practicing martial arts, everyone can't move at all.

Li Wei was naturally not idle. Within two days, he traveled to the city three times, divided into three places, spent 3,000 silver coins, and bought three spring-breaking needles.

It's ridiculously expensive.

If it weren't for the urgent attempt to suppress the evil camel bell and attack the fifth fountain, he would really not want to spend this in vain.

When Zhao Zhizhuo took Lao Liu and Lao Guan to buy various household goods and food, Li Wei was building a chair and counting money under the old poplar tree surrounded by two people in the front yard. Sometimes he frowned and sometimes he pondered motionlessly.

"Dongdong!"

A knock on the door outside the yard sounded.

Old Liu quickly put down all kinds of items and went to open the door.

When he opened the door and saw three figures standing outside, Old Liu looked stunned. Because he could not speak, he didn't know how to ask.

The man led outside the door looked like a 40 or 50 years old, with a white face and no beard, like a scholar. Even if the years passed, it was still obvious that he must be handsome and extraordinary when he was young.

"The banner owner of the Changlin Gang, Ishikawa Yu, came to pay homage to the master here." The scholar was very polite and smiled kindly, and bowed to Lao Liu.

Li Wei put away the coins, quickly walked to the door, and smiled and said, "The master here is my senior brother. I wonder what advice do you have?"

Ishikawa Yu bowed again and said with a smile: "We live in this area too. From now on, we will be neighbors. Since we are moving to a new house, we will come to congratulate you. A little bit of gift will not be respectful."

Ishikawa Yu gave a look.

Two gang members carrying red rope gifts behind him walked straight into the yard.

...

Under the old poplar tree, Lao Meng, who is the owner of the house, started to communicate with Shikawa Yu.

The two had a great time talking.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ishikawa Yu said with a serious expression: "You are new to you, and you may not know anything. This city is not as good as the inside, and you are often attacked by dead spirit demons. When it is a big deal, hundreds of residents may die overnight. Fortunately, we have a group of powerful martial arts and martial artists who quickly united and formed gangs to resist these external dangers."

"The security of this city is our Changlin Gang."

"But gang operation costs money. To deal with the Dead Spirit Demon, many gang members will be killed and injured, and treatment fees and settlement fees are indispensable."

"So, whether it is vendors or residents, they will help us with some money and food every month so that we can continue to operate and better protect everyone."

Zhao Meng understood that this was to collect protection fees and said, "When we rented the house, we paid the city defense silver. The attack of the dead spirit demon should be the city defense camp, right?"

Ishikawa Yu laughed: "The city defense camp is mainly responsible for the city. If they really do their best, how could the suburbs be as chaotic as they are now? In fact, our gangs can come into being, and the city defense camp or big family are supported by them. By the way, how long are you going to rent for Brother Zhao?"

"Lease a month first!" Zhao Meng said.

"Since it's a short-term rental, let's avoid the Death Yin and the Death Yin. It's not easy for everyone. Come to Changlin to help you have tea tomorrow, and I'll treat you."

Ishikawa Yu said goodbye to the two gang members, waved goodbye, and repeatedly told Zhao Meng not to send him off.

After seeing them off and closing the door, Zhao Meng felt something was very problematic and was uneasy. He asked Zhao Zhizhuo: "The local gangs are so polite? Why do I feel bad?"

Zhao Zhizhuo's face looked very ugly: "He was not here to collect protection fees, maybe he was here to check in and explore our reality."

"Old Zhao means that the Changlin Gang feels that we are outsiders and have no backers, so he is ready to take us all in one fell swoop?" Li Wei said.

Zhao Zhizhuo nodded: "That's what I think. Since they visited us, it means that they have checked us and collected protection fees. We can sleep peacefully tonight. If not, I really can't sleep tonight."

...

The Changlin Gang three people walked on the bustling streets.

Behind Ishikawa Yu, a gang member who opened four springs couldn't help but ask: "Bank Master, don't you accept their dead spirit silver and evil demon silver? Although those gifts are not worth much, our Changlin Gang is not a vegetarian for doing good deeds."

Ishikawa Yu said to herself: "These two have a heavy accent. They should have escaped from other states. They will not have any foundation in Lizhou. They can afford to rent thousands of dollars a month, so they definitely have some wealth. What a fat sheep!"

Another gang member who opened Siquan said, "That person surnamed Zhao is as tall as six meters tall, and his combat power is probably extraordinary."

Ishikawa Yu sneered: "It's just a demonstration. I've taken his palm. I haven't cultivated magic power. No matter how big the body is, I can only do hard work. Tonight, I'll give them a good gift, pretending to be attacked by a ferocious insect, which has nothing to do with our Changlin Gang."

"From now on, anyone who comes out of that house will control me and never have any accidents."
