Chapter 51 May Day: The Ax Gang is doing things, and the idlers are retreating
The "Lao'er" in the horse-drawn carriage world went out of the east gate of the inner city and arrived at the outer city without any hindrance.
Bridges and boats can be seen everywhere here. The tributaries of the Kun River enter from the East City, flow down and turn into Jiushui, and then pass through the city.
The largest branch among them became the famous Liufeng River.
If Nancheng is the CBD of Kunpeng Fucheng, it is also the center of politics and business.
Beicheng is the small commodity trading center of Kunpeng City and the distribution center for mountain goods and monster meat.
To the west is a huge port where two rivers meet, with hundreds of ships and thousands of sails, and busy dock operations are its daily routine.
Then the characteristics of Dongcheng are entertainment, martial arts schools and gangs.
Walled houses of various kinds, made of trees, stones, or mixed structures, are getting higher and higher like piles of logs, and are located in an orderly manner among the urban water. In summer, it has the artistic conception of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Each walled city is clearly separated and separated by a river. There are fences and sentry towers at the gates of the walled city, and there are special sentries to stand guard. Most of the people in these walled cities live together with the same surname, clan, and ancestors, which is very special.
xenophobic.
They either attached themselves to powerful gangs, or selected powerful junior warriors in the walled city to play the role of maintaining law and order.
To prevent gang members, pedestrians passing by will also be screened.
People who are not residents of the walled city are generally not allowed to enter.
There are no long-term alliances here. We are allies today, but we may be at war with each other tomorrow.
But don't think that they live in dire straits.
The Darun Dynasty ruled the Thirty-Six Roads of the Mountains and Seas of China for thousands of years, and its economic and cultural prosperity had reached the pinnacle that you can imagine in the ancient social context.
I don’t know the truth about other places, but look at Dongcheng Xiaotianxia.
Plaques of various workshops can be seen everywhere, and the one that stands out is dazzling.
What would you do if there were no neon lights in ancient times?
Naturally, he made his gatehouse sign big and luxurious.
How to attract people.
The famous martial arts street in Kunpeng Fucheng is located in Dongcheng.
Gladiatorial arenas are very popular here, and each major force will train a group of professional warriors to regularly participate in gladiatorial fights on behalf of each family.
This kind of competition has complete rules.
Whether it is a contest between people or a fight between people and monsters, it can attract a large number of audiences.
In their spare time, watching martial arts fights in the ring is also one of the favorite entertainment activities of local residents.
Many members of the Six Paths of the North, from the king of Tiandu to the police officers, are also very enthusiastic about this path. Especially the military officers, they highly respect the martial arts arena.
And every three years there will be a large-scale martial arts competition organized by the government, where participants will compete round by round, and the final winner will represent Daozhou and go to Beidu to participate in the final championship competition.
The final winner of every martial arts tournament will all become famous in one battle and gain both fame and fortune.
Even in the Darun Dynasty, there were several well-known generals who rose up from the folk martial arts competitions. Among them, those who achieved great military exploits were often more popular than other colleagues, and were more loved by the lower-level soldiers.
The influence of the martial arts conference is evident.
Just like Cuju in the Song Dynasty in the previous life, Gao Qiu liked Cuju and was the world's best player.
Recreational activities, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, must also have a place. After all, this is the standard for literati.
After all, the emperor of the Darun Dynasty also loved visiting brothels.
Under the influence of the emperor, literati from the upper class and even the lower class also preferred painting, calligraphy and poetry.
It is said that the land of Runjing has developed to the extreme. Literati can have prostitution for free with a good poem.
Fortunately, the Northland has high mountains and far away from the emperor, so the impact is not that big.
He loves martial arts more than he loves literature.
But there are exceptions.
Opera is very popular regardless of whether it is performed in the north, south or east.
It has already reached a certain scale and has a special performance venue - Wase.
Washe is a large-scale comprehensive entertainment venue for citizens. Its entertainment projects are very rich and have everything you need.
Restaurants, inns, brothels, casinos, soup pools, tea houses, theaters, etc., can be said to be countless.
If the martial arts competition still has a picky audience, everyone loves Wase.
After nightfall, the entire East City becomes a city that never sleeps, and the various entertainment venues are among the best in Kunpeng.
The well-done antique commercial streets in the previous life were considered prosperous, but compared with this one, they pale into insignificance.
If you can't understand what kind of existence Washe is and why so many people like to go to Washe, you can compare it with current entertainment venues.
Because its business scale and service objects are relatively wide, it has both dance halls and theaters, and it can even have bars, teahouses, game arcades and other multi-mode and multiple service objects. It is also a three-dimensional entertainment activity.
This powerful entertainment industry will naturally allow the comprehensive entertainment industry to continue to develop and even reach its peak.
Washe is a large-scale performing arts venue that is gradually developing and growing.
If compared with the modern entertainment venues of the past, there are only Happy Valley or even the Big World.
Of course, as projects are complex, there will inevitably be mixed results.
In low-end places, avoid it if possible, but be careful of it getting rotten.
For high-end clubs, you have to look at Nancheng. A certain VVIP member only feeds Happy Forest bag salt.
When the carriage was about to reach its destination, it was suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Si Ye asked.
Uncle An said: "Miss, wait a moment, I will go and inquire about it."
Li Sui'an looked over and saw two people confronting each other across the street.
More than a thousand people gathered here in a dark crowd, each holding a wooden sword.
Could this be...
The legendary Young and Dangerous boys fighting in the street?!
After a while, Uncle An came back, "Miss, the Ax Gang is about to start a war with the Beiye Gang. It is said that a deputy leader of the Ax Gang was killed, and the territory of two streets was robbed. The Ax Gang is clamoring to avenge the boss.
.Now the two sides are still shaking people.”
Si also frowned.
Li Sui'an watched it with gusto.
If this had happened before, he wouldn't have dared to come alone, he could only live and play around home, and Jiang Zi was needed to maintain his basic life.
Why don't you go out with your thick legs this time? The center of your right thigh is not square.
"Let's take a detour." Si Ye ordered.
"Hey, sir, do you even want to take a detour?"
Si Ye's beautiful eyes turned white and she glared at him.
"Young master, you are in charge."
Li Sui'an was suddenly given a white eye and was shaken for a while.
"As expected! Beauty kills people. You will never deceive me."
Uncle An was about to turn around immediately, but at this moment, a large number of people gathered behind him, blocking the entire street tightly with the bustle.
The carriage was just stuck in it.
When I saw the mark of the Lamp Holder, I didn't rush over to find myself feeling uncomfortable.
Among the crowd, Li Sui'an suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He was still dressed like a farm boy, carrying a big knife, and with a fierce look on his face, he led the men and charged over.
Everyone else had wooden swords, but he was the only one who carried the real thing.
This momentum is really unmatched by ordinary young and Dangerous guys.
No wonder he can be the master of the hall.
"There's no good-looking carriage. The ax helps to do the work, and the idlers retreat. If you don't leave, I'll tear down your carriage!" He didn't give the lantern holder any face.
Si Baihu's face in the car flashed with anger and then calmed down.
"Uncle An, step back."
"Yes, miss."
Li Sui'an stuck his head out and said, "Brother Hu, do you still remember Xiao Li who we drank with on the South City Wall?"
"Huh?"
When Hu Zilai saw Li Sui'an, he almost didn't recognize him. When he saw it clearly, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Oh, isn't this my brother Li? I haven't seen you for a long time. I am in good spirits."
"Haha, thanks to my brother, I have been eating well and sleeping well recently, and my health care has been very effective."
"Brother, why did you take the Lamplight Division's car? Did you join the Lamplight Division?"
"No, this is the car belonging to Si Baihu, the lantern maker. I was going to the suburbs on business and I took a ride. Unfortunately, I was blocked as soon as I got here."
"So it's Si Baihu?" He looked into the car and happened to see a corner of the official's official uniform wearing a lantern, "I understand."
"Brothers, make way for the lord with the lantern to pass first."
Hu Zilai shouted and should open the way first.
A group of subordinates swarmed up with a roar.
"Uncle An, follow me quickly."
"okay."
The old man drove behind him leisurely, passing through the dark crowd, and facing the angry and glaring young and Dangerous boys on both sides, as if he were watching a play, his expression did not change at all and he even felt a little want to laugh.
Hehehe walked slowly through the middle.
This old man is not a good person.
"Thank you, Brother Hu."
Hu Zilai waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'm still going to fight, so I won't send you a gift. Remember to bring wine with you next time."
"must."
The carriage hadn't gone very far when a loud shout came from behind, "Hit me!"
The fight between the two sides began.
Not long after, a green light appeared in front of my eyes.
Obviously, these people have practiced to the point where they can stab someone to death without a gun.
Until they were very far away, there was no green light floating out from the center of the battle, but there were still green lights flying from a corner of the East City from time to time. Obviously, the bustling East City was not that safe.
Judging from Siye's posture, it is necessary to deal with the wine shop today.
Along the way, Li Sui'an was also considering how much money should be spent to successfully win the Sunjia Brewery.
It is not a wise move to rush to discuss business, as it can easily lead to being taken advantage of.
Things that could have been discussed slowly now can only be spent more money.
Further outside, there is a large area of farmland with houses, and the peaks of the Tianpeng Mountains are clearly visible in the distance. A snow-water waterfall flows from the mountain stream, flying down three thousand feet, and converges into a huge pool.
.
Nuoda's winery is built on the mountain and has become a manor. It is also protected by city walls, and its scale can be seen from a distance.
However, when they approached, they suddenly found that the place was occupied by a group of gang members.
"It's the Kitano Gang."
Si Ye said that she recognized the gang flag flying on the mast.
Seeing a luxurious carriage approaching from a distance, the guards at the gate of the manor immediately blew their whistles and set up their horses. A strong man walked out of the tower and said, "Stop comers! This is the territory of the Beiye Gang, and no one else is allowed to trespass."
."
A group of archers appeared on the low wall, and Old Man An stopped the carriage outside the shooting range.
Li Sui'an felt suddenly, "Did something happen to the Sun family?"
Si Ye said: "The outer city has its own rules. If there is a gang dispute, not even the lantern holder can stop it."
"Let's go to Sun's house and have a look."
For ancient entertainment, I refer to the prosperous Song Dynasty.
