After three days of hurrying, when a white city wall bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun appeared in the sight of Tie Xuan and the others, a feeling rose in everyone's hearts in an instant, Yuehe City had arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because this city is close to the Grand Canal, and the city walls are all made of fine white stone bricks, so whether it is day or night, the canal seems to be sprinkled with a piece of silver-white moonlight, which is named after the Moon River.

Remembering the previous teacher Zhang Liang's account, Tie Xuan and the others stood not far from the city wall of Yuehe City at this time, looking into the distance, and clearly saw a wide river flowing under the city wall about 100 meters north of the gate of Yuehe City, and on both sides of the river outside the city, willow trees were shady, swaying with the spring breeze, as if stretching the fatigue of the day.

As the sun set, the sky was getting dark, and the four soldiers on duty at the gate of the city glanced at the sky, as if they felt that no one would enter the city again, and then they all looked a little tired, and their bodies stood crookedly, and even the spear held in their hands as a weapon was randomly inserted in the open space beside them.

When Tie Xuan and his party came to the city gate, these soldiers suddenly looked excited, and then took their weapons unhurriedly and straightened their waists.

The soldier stopped in front of everyone, his eyes glanced at the back of the group, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Liang, who was the leader, with the same smile on his face, and inadvertently showed two rows of yellow teeth.

Tie Xuan and the others were a little puzzled by his move, and looked at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang talked a lot about Yuehe City along the way, but he forgot about entering the city and never mentioned it.

Zhang Liang, who was not coming to Yuehe City for the first time, did not disappoint the students behind him, and immediately took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the other party, who took it without hesitation and immediately got out of the way.

The group continued to move forward, and Zhang Liang also began to explain to them that they had to pay an entrance fee to enter the city for the scene that had just happened, and each person was ten copper coins, which was one of the sources of income for the City Lord's Mansion, but if you became a member of the Black Tiger Gang or the Crescent Moon Sect, this entry fee could be saved.

The Black Tiger Gang, the Crescent Faction, as soon as the people present heard these words, their expressions immediately became different, some of their faces turned red and excited, some clenched their fists and their faces were full of resentment, and some had sneers on the corners of their mouths.

After Zhang Liang's explanation along the way, they already knew that although Yuehe City was jointly managed by the three major forces, in fact, the City Lord's Mansion was not in charge, it was only responsible for maintaining law and order in the city, and the twelve towns under the jurisdiction of Yuehe City were guarded by the Black Tiger Gang and the Crescent Sect in their respective spheres of influence. And this is also the reason why Niu Ba in Qianshan Town is only a seventh-order warrior cultivator, but he can be on an equal footing with Ye Xiao, the master of the martial arts hall, and nothing else, just because he is the person who is stationed in Qianshan Town by the Black Tiger Gang.

The Black Tiger Gang and the Crescent Moon Sect, although they are not even third-rate forces in the sect of martial arts, but in Yuehe City, they are two behemoths that ordinary people dare not provoke, among them, the Black Tiger Gang is the most powerful, and it is naturally more domineering, and it is an existence that makes people retreat.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are two people in the crowd whose faces remain unchanged, still with calm faces, as if they are indifferent to the two behemoths of this Moon River City.

Yuehe City, which was not a very prosperous city in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, for Tie Xuan and others, who had never entered the city, it opened their eyes, as if they had entered another world, and everywhere seemed so novel.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see a wide and ten-zhang bluestone paved avenue, and on both sides of the road, all kinds of shops are lined up one after another, and you can't see the end at a glance.

Okay, now that we have entered the city, it is getting late today, so we can't go to the Martial Arts Academy, let's go to the Martial Arts Academy to live in a place dedicated to receiving new students, and then report to the academy early tomorrow morning. Everyone follow me, there are dragons and snakes mixed here, don't get separated. Zhang Liang said loudly to the students, and then strode forward to lead the way, he wanted to settle the students before nightfall.

On the most lively street in the west of Yuehe City, in front of a house covering an area of about hundreds of acres, two red lanterns were hung high under the eaves, and four white-clothed women with long swords were lined up on both sides.

In an antique room on the innermost floor of the house, a plain-clothed woman was sitting cross-legged on a couch, her eyes closed, and her hands were placed on her left and right knees in the shape of orchid fingers, apparently practicing the mental method.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the room, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

The plain woman's eyes opened slightly, what was the matter with the sandalwood mouth slightly open?

Senior Sister Qiqi, the students of the Qianshan Town Martial Arts Academy have just arrived in Yuehe City, and now they have all moved into the Qunying Pavilion. A crisp female voice replied respectfully.

Oh, so that little guy is here too? A smile appeared on the corner of the plain woman's mouth, as if she remembered something.

Yes, Senior Sister, in addition, there is a girl by his side, who seems to be his maid, according to the information we have received, that girl should be the one he bought at the auction of an inn in Jiulian Mountain, named Shuxiang. The man outside the door replied.

Well, I see, you go down. After getting the news she wanted, the plain-clothed woman didn't say anything more, and directly gave the eviction order, and then closed her eyes and continued to practice the mental method.

Be.

As the most prosperous Yuehe Avenue in the east of Yuehe City, it is undoubtedly a place of every inch of land, the street is full of traffic, the flow of people is non-stop, and a mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres is quiet, located in the heart of Yuehe Avenue, two rows of willow trees that can only be hugged by dozens of people wind down along both sides of the avenue, more than ten zhang deep, and this is where the Black Tiger Gang is stationed.

Eight black-shirted men stood in front of the door like wooden stakes, their eyes were fierce, their breathing was long, at a glance they were masters of martial arts cultivation, and the cold aura emanating from them was enough to make the hearts of those who had not yet approached feel suffocated.

Although it is the residence of the Black Tiger Gang, the people who can live here are all hall master-level figures, especially the area after the two courtyards, it is the most mysterious place of the Black Tiger Gang, except for a few people, no one knows who lives there.

Night had fallen, and although Niu Ba had come and gone here several times, the guards guarding the door still made him wait in front of the door, and waited for the people inside to send servants to receive him before he was released, while the two attendants he carried with him were stopped and could only wait outside.

Following the maid who came to guide the way, through the rows of flowers and trees, Niu Ba came to the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard.

The night sky was so close, densely covered with bright stars, and there was no sound all around, only the whisper of the wind in my ears. Echoing the starry sky, there are white stone pillars standing on the bluestone slab ground every few zhang, and a bronze oil lamp is lit on each white stone pillar, and the flickering lights are scattered under his feet, extending to the brightly lit house.

Niu Ba walked on this road with a lot of emotion, thinking of the person he was about to meet, his heart suddenly became hot, everything here made him moved and intoxicated, he dreamed of moving into this residence that symbolizes power, but with his cultivation, I am afraid that this life is hopeless.

But fortunately, there is no endless road, as soon as he thought of the plan in his mind, his eyes suddenly brightened, and his hands under his sleeves clenched unconsciously, this time, he must succeed.

Thinking so in his heart, Niu Ba immediately raised his feet and stepped into the brightly lit house, taking the most important step in his life, but where this step would lead in the end, he didn't think so far now.

Brother, you're here. A beautiful woman with a tender and graceful voice said coquettishly, and when she saw Niuba, a kind smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Younger sister.

Sister, you have to say a few kind words to your brother-in-law this time, so that my brother can stay here for a few more days. Niu Ba said with his short body arched.

Brother, didn't the younger sister say you, can't you be your deacon in the garrison, why did you come back to the city again? The woman said with a slight dissatisfaction.

Oh, my good sister, it's not like you haven't stayed in those small towns, what can there be, your brother and I work weekdays, and there is no place for recreation after finishing errands, and you don't know the temperament of the tigress at home, isn't this going to suffocate your brother and me. Niuba complained with an aggrieved face.

But brother...

The woman wanted to say more, but she was directly interrupted by Niuba, okay, sister, your brother and I came this time to relax and relax, relieve our mood, and go back after a while, don't worry.

Okay, brother, but anyway, you still bring a gift to your sister-in-law when you go back this time, she is the cousin of the martial arts master after all, so you have to look better on the surface. The woman groaned.

Listen to you. Niu Ba's goal was achieved, and he would not be uncomfortable in these things, so he immediately agreed with a smile.
