Volume 1 Northwest Wind and Cloud Chapter 1 The young man's name is Jiang Lan
Yinping City is a small city located between Yang'an Pass and Hanzhong, because it is located in the northwest border of the Great Liang Kingdom, it has become a necessary place for merchants from the Western Regions and the Great Liang Kingdom to communicate with each other.
Thanks to the convenience of merchants, the sparrows in Yinping City are small but also complete, and there are many things in the city that come from the Western Regions, even in the Central Plains City, which is also very rare.
Wanhe Tea House is located in this Yinping City, the most prosperous place in the west of the city. Yu Wanhe, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, is a middle-aged man in his early forties, he was also a businessman who traveled south and north in his early years, and later settled down in this Yinping City because of marriage and childbirth, and opened a small teahouse to make a living.
Today is a large gathering once a month in Yinping City, and people come and go on the street to buy and sell.
It was bustling outside, but there were few customers in the teahouse. At this time, the young man in the teahouse was sitting on the threshold in a daze, and Yu Wanhe was counting the accounts at the counter.
Yu Wanhe was making calculations when he heard the young man at the door welcome a group of guests: "Three masters, please come inside." ”
As soon as he looked up, he saw three guests at the door stepping into the teahouse, led by a middle-aged man with a scarface.
This person is about forty years old, more than seven feet tall, dark complexion, but his facial features are very upright, just looking at his face gives people a sense of righteousness and awe, and the scar from the center of the eyebrows to the jaw adds a little vicissitudes to this face. He was followed by two men, both in their thirties and forties, with ordinary appearances, who seemed to be his henchmen.
"The third master wants some tea?" Shopkeeper Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him in person - after all, he had run through the business road and been in the market for many years, and the Jianghu Qi on these three people could be seen at a glance.
The man nodded: "Shopkeeper, find us a seat, make a good pot of tea, and then have two snacks." ”
"Gotcha! The three masters, please. Yu Wanhe hurriedly invited the three guests up the stairs, and beckoned the guys to make tea while going upstairs.
There are several cubicles on the second floor of the teahouse, and there are also a few private seats by the window next to the street. Shopkeeper Yu invited the three guests to a table by the window: "Third master, can you sit here?" ”
"Hmm." The black-faced man in the lead nodded, "Okay, let's get busy." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the stool by the window by the table and sat down. The other two also sat on both sides of the table, one on the left and one on the right. Yu Wanhe didn't dare to slack off, he said, "Wait a minute, guest officer", and hurriedly went downstairs to prepare tea.
"Big brother, Blind Xu asked us to meet this time, there is a big deal for us to do, right?" It was a tall and lanky man among the two attendants who spoke.
"The devil knows what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd!" The black-faced man shook his head.
Speaking of this blind man, he is also a figure with a face on the Northwest Green Forest Road. He has hundreds of people under his command, scattered around the northwest like beans, and is responsible for keeping an eye on and stepping on plates, so people on the green forest road in the northwest often buy and sell news with him. And the information in his hand is often very accurate, for example, when a certain caravan will come out of where, which road it will take, which mountain it will cross, which dart bureau will be hired as a guarantee, and how many people are in the team...... These will be stated in his message.
The news of the blind man Xu is very accurate, but it is also very expensive, often the news of a caravan costs five taels of silver, so the blind man Xu also has the reputation of 'seeing money'.
The black-faced man had also done a few deals with Xu Blind a few years ago, although he was not familiar with him, but he also had some understanding of his style of acting - it was indeed the first time that he had invited people into the city to talk about business like this. You must know that they, the people of the Green Forest Road, have long been included in the portrait of the official yamen, and a few of them dare to swagger into the city in broad daylight!
He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it to the people under him, but he just thought of a few more words of advice here, telling them to keep a low profile.
The three of them sat down for less than half a stick of incense, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse personally brought the teapot and a few snacks, and the tall and thin attendant hurriedly poured a cup for the "big brother" when he saw this. The black-faced man picked up the teacup and tasted it to himself, while the two attendants chatted to pass the time.
After waiting for about an hour, a pot of tea was filled with hot water three times, and the black-faced man was obviously a little annoyed, he put one arm on the table, his fingers tapped on the table, and his face was full of impatience. The attendant on the side had already greeted Xu Blind and his relatives, and was about to greet his neighbor, when he suddenly heard the voice of the teahouse shopkeeper at the staircase: "Two guest masters, please upstairs, the guest you are looking for has been sitting upstairs for a long time." There were three people who followed, Yu Wanhe, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, walked in front and greeted him, followed by two people. One is a middle-aged man who looks like a Taoist priest, and a young man in his early twenties with beautiful eyebrows.
As soon as the Taoist priest went upstairs, he saw the three black-faced men, and he hurriedly hugged his fists to meet him: "Brother Xiang, long time no see!" ”
"Humph! Xu, blind man, you're late! "This Taoist priest turned out to be Xu Blind in the mouth of the three, but looking at his eyes, how can he be half blind!
"A few guests will chat first, and I'll go and add a pot of good tea to a few more." Seeing this, Yu Wanhe left very interestingly.
"Brother Xiang has been waiting for a long time, Xu is here to accompany you first." Xu Blind said with a smile on his face.
"Yo he, you Lao Xu will still pay for it! Didn't I still love anyone when I went to your Water Snake Ridge before! The black-faced man said angrily.
"Dude, who dares not to give you Xiang Beichuan face." Xu Blind said with a smile on his face, his words were really not perfunctory. Speaking of this black-faced man, Xiang Beichuan, is also a well-known No. 1 person in this northwest green forest road, and there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes of kung fu, and his Qiyunzhai, although there are only one hundred and ten people, is a top player.
"Hmph, that's still a human saying." He glared at the blind man Xu, but then stopped his gaze on the young man behind him, "This little brother is your old Xu's...... San, why are you pulling my clothes? ”
Before Xiang Beichuan's words fell, he felt that the third child next to him was tugging at his sleeve.
"Big brother," the tall thin man named the third child looked a little strange, and he whispered in Xiang Beichuan's ear, "Big brother, do you remember the deal I took my brothers to do in the birch forest last month?" ”
"Remember, wasn't it disturbed by someone that time, what happened?"
"Big brother, the person who caused the trouble that time was that kid!" As he spoke, he glanced at the young man behind the blind man.
Xiang Beichuan looked at the young man with some confusion when he heard this, seeing that he was in his early twenties, and his figure was more than eight feet long and wore a light cyan suit, which looked very tall. Toshiro's face and angular facial features - the standard little white face configuration!
"Can you be sure of him?"
"That's right, big brother! This underbeaten face is too easy to recognize! I recognize it when it is burned to ashes! ”
"Oh? I see...... Xiang Beichuan squinted his eyes and looked the young man up and down again, and then moved his gaze to the blind Xu with a smile on his face, "I said, who intercepted my Qiyun Village's business, it turned out to be your old Xu!" Say, what kind of calculation did Xiang ask someone to enter the city this time? ”
"Oops! What is this called by Brother Xiang, we are all eating together on the green forest road, and we are a family when we get closer, how can someone Xu intercept your business! It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! ”
"You don't have a fucking garlic! Didn't my birch forest deal last month be cut off by your little brother? He also wounded thirty-two of my brothers! Xiang Beichuan pointed at the young man and said.
"It's all a misunderstanding, Brother Xiang, listen to my explanation, that's ......"
"Who was I at the time, it turned out to be the thief leader of Qiyun Village!"
Xu Blind was about to explain, but he was interrupted by the young man who had been following behind him, he slowly approached, until he reached the table, and Xiang Beichuan "looked at each other across the table", with a smile on his face, not avoiding the other party's gaze at all.
"That's right, it was me in the birch forest last month!"
"Haha, good boy!" Xiang Beichuan laughed angrily, he slammed the table, and the table that looked very sturdy was smashed apart, and everyone present was shocked. Before the others could react, Xiang Beichuan suddenly got up and smashed his right hand into a fist towards the young man's face. This punch is extremely fast and powerful, and if it hits it, I am afraid that even the head made of stone will be shattered into slag.
Seeing this punch coming straight to the door, the young man's expression was grim, only to see that his body did not move, his right foot lightly touched the ground, and the whole person flew backwards like a leaf in the wind, and retreated nearly a foot away, making this heavy punch fall into the air.
"There are two hits!"
"You're not bad either!" The young man's expression on his face did not change, but he was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that Xiang Beichuan was the same as the group of bandits he met before, but he didn't expect that the other party's ability was not weak - the punch just now, if he hadn't dodged in time, I am afraid that he would be seriously injured if he did not die.
Seeing that the two of them moved, but they had no intention of continuing, Xu Blind hurriedly came up to play a round: "Brother Xiang can carry the Ding, and Brother Jiang has excellent skills, although he only has one move, but it also opened Xu's eyes!" ”
Xiang Beichuan saw that he couldn't get a blow, but he retracted his fists and feet, he looked at Xu Blind, and said coldly: "I'm not a reckless man, I don't want to make a big deal and invite the government." Didn't you say it was a misunderstanding just now? Well, I'd like to hear what you have to explain to me! ”
"Explanation...... This...... Oops, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce the two of you to each other. This is the owner of Qiyun Village, Xiang Beichuan Xiang's eldest brother! ”
"Long admiration for notoriety!" The young man clenched his fists in salute, and the words that came out of his mouth almost made Xiang Beichuan vomit blood.
"Humph, good boy!" Xiang Beichuan angrily squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense again, Xu Blind hurriedly said to Xiang Beichuan with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiang, forgive me, brother!" Young people have not seen anything in the world and are not very sensible, and if you have a lot of adults, don't be like children! ”
Xu Blind said this, but Xiang Beichuan didn't pay attention to him at all, staring at the young man with his eyes: "Boy, what's your name?" ”
"Listen, the master's name is Jiang Lan."
