After winding through several mountains, Fengyang City appeared in front of us. There were still ancient black traces of war on the city walls that had been cut with axes. The carriage of Guan Zhong and his party was not big. After several days of trekking on the mountain road,
After that, various supplies were about to be in short supply, but fortunately they finally arrived.
At the city gate, an old guard wearing a worn cotton robe was sleeping in a corner. If the white steam from his nose and mouth hadn't appeared from time to time to prove that he was still alive, pedestrians might have thought it was a statue.
The early morning in the north was still biting, and only two carriages slowly passed by the huge city gate, and the sounds they made from time to time seemed to indicate the arrival of a new day.
It was still early, and there were almost no people on the street. As the carriage moved toward the center of the city, people appeared, and they asked passers-by for the direction of the inn.
The inn is not big, and the plaque on the door is also mottled. It can be seen vaguely that it says "Tongfu Inn". I asked the waiter to arrange for the carriage to be handled and fed good horse feed. After paying the hotel fee, the shopkeeper hid behind the counter.
He threw out a few numbered keys and continued to sleep on the counter.
By the time the group of people had packed up everything and everything was safe and sound, it was already three o'clock in the morning. It was completely different from the deserted appearance when they first entered the city. At this time, the streets were already full of people coming and going, showing the
Its lively and prosperous side.
The inn is completely different from the deserted appearance in the early morning. The tables below are almost full of people, and most of them are Jianghu people holding swords. However, at this time, there are so many Jianghu people.
It’s considered normal.
"Waiter, a pot of hot tea and ten pounds of beef." A few big men came downstairs with a scholar. The iron-blooded aura of those big men who had been on the battlefield was very eye-catching, and many people secretly observed it.
.
Most of these people come to this city for the same purpose, and most of them are competitors. Of course, observation and vigilance are indispensable beforehand.
Guan Zhong didn't care about the looks on his face, he just sat down leisurely and casually asked the waiter for some food.
The waiter hurriedly responded: "Okay, sir, please sit down for a while and we will serve you the food later."
Guan Zhong replied softly: "Yeah."
However, among the people, only Guan Zhong and one other person sat on the seats, and the remaining people stood around the two people.
There are many discerning people in this inn, and they can be seen at a glance. Although these people seem to be standing in an irregular and unruly manner on the surface, in fact, they are
The few positions where individuals stand can allow them to immediately resist assassinations from all directions.
In those martial arts novels, martial arts are originally the protagonists in the novels. Of course, they look very tall. Among the imperial court, those so-called "dog officials" are in their hands. If they want to kill them, they are like
It's as easy as killing a cat or a dog.
But the real world is not like this. Although these martial arts people are indeed unpredictable at times, the court is by no means a loser.
Guan Zhong sat quietly at the table for a while, and then the waiter brought him what he wanted.
The waiter said: "Sir, please use it with ease."
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Guan Zhong stopped the waiter.
Although Guan Zhong must have his own information channels, Wang Yu also has ways to find out the information he wants to find out. However, in these inns, there have always been three religions and nine schools, where all kinds of people come and go. These waiters
If you have an extra ear, you might know something that they don't know.
Even if the chance of this happening is small, a cautious person like Guan Zhong wouldn't mind using more methods. What's more, it doesn't require him to expend any methods or effort, just
All he needs to do is ask.
If you get any useful information, everyone will be happy.
But even if there is no gainful news, there is nothing lost.
The waiter bent down and asked, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"
"Is there anything exciting happening here recently?" Guan Zhong looked at the waiter and asked, and inadvertently took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve.
Hearing Guan Zhong's question, some people present became restless again, and their ears could not help but stand up. The recent lively events in Fengyang City were only one thing left. This person asked the waiter
When such a question is asked, the real question behind it is self-evident.
Such a large group of them came here from all over the world not really for sightseeing. Besides, it is impossible to come here for sightseeing.
They heard that Han Yuting, the daughter of Han Qianshan, the leader of the Qijiao Gang, has no children and only has an only daughter, whom they regard as their most precious treasure. They heard that the little girl is just seventeen this year, like a flower that has just bloomed, everything is new.
.
He is sweet-looking, well-behaved and smart, and extremely cute and charming. It happens that Han Qianshan, the leader of the Qijiao Gang, the Dragon-Severing Hand, wants to find a son-in-law.
Most of them came here for this purpose.
"Sir, you are asking the right person. The most lively thing in the city during this period is that the daughter of Gang Leader Han is competing in a martial arts competition to find a bride."
When the waiter saw the ingot of silver on the table, a ray of greed flashed away. A person like him had seen a lot of money, but unfortunately it was not his. These scraps of silver were already a piece of cake for him.
A huge fortune.
"The daughter of the leader of the Han clan is competing in martial arts to find a bride. I believe there will be many young and handsome men coming here." Guan Zhong seemed to ask inadvertently.
"Of course!" the waiter said with his head raised, as if he was quite proud.
Han Qianshan is a native of Fengyang, and the Qijiao Gang has Fengyang as its main base. The glorious deeds of these people are worthy of honor even as fellow villagers.
As for the Seven Dragon Gang, in the minds of people like the waiter, it is already an extremely powerful force.
Of course, the Qijiao Gang is not bad in the world, at least it has a certain reputation. Although this gang does not have many powerful masters on the surface, at least this number of people has made most sects look down upon them.
In time.
For example, the beggar gang in martial arts novels has not always been able to be ranked among the top level masters in the world. However, this sect still has a considerable status. As long as the number is large enough, it can be produced
Qualitative change.
"Oh, I wonder how many people are coming?" Guan Zhong also looked interested.
