Chapter Thirty-Nine: To the Peerless City

The two of them galloped all the way, dappled sunlight shining through the gaps in the trees. Through the woods, at last there were people, and the scattered peasant women, carrying baskets full of grass, saw two horses galloping from afar, and hid on the side of the road, and bowed their heads.

When Yang Ying and the others passed by, they raised their heads slightly, and when they saw Zheng Xiaoqing's appearance, they showed awe, yes, they were both afraid and respectful.

The peasant woman's expression fell into Yang Ying's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, for the bandits, it was not strange to be afraid, but the respect was fathomable.

Zheng Xiaoqing was naturally accustomed to the performance of peasant women, and seeing Yang Ying's expression, he seemed to guess how much he thought, brushed his hair that was blown up, and explained: "Although we are bandits, we never rob poor people. ”

"Oh, you are still some green forest heroes, robbing the rich and helping the poor."

"Hehe, we are not so noble, we are just robbing the rich, and it is good for the poor people under our jurisdiction to provide them with a stable environment, so they are afraid of us, and thank us."

Yang Ying also understood after hearing this, "Are the forces of this Peerless City like you?"

"How is it possible, my Wushanzhai is the best, after all, my cottage has been inherited for a hundred years, and the others are not so good, otherwise how can it be called the city of sin"

Then he explained: "We have four big bandits in Wushuang City, eighteen bandits, my Wushanzhai belongs to one of the eighteen bandits, and the eighteen bandits are all under the jurisdiction of the four big bandits, but he doesn't care about the affairs of each bandit, as long as he pays a certain amount of silver every year, and if the four big bandits convene any collective activities, each bandit must participate, otherwise everyone will be exterminated together, and there will be cooperation and fighting between the bandits, anyway, the relationship is very complicated."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaoqing secretly glanced at Yang Ying, and seeing that his face did not show disgust, he let go of the apprehension in his heart, paused and said: "In addition to the four great Kou and eighteen bandits, there are also the Heavenly Lotus Sect of the Demon Sect, the Dao of Extinguishing Feelings, and the True Preaching, and in addition to some hidden sects that should not be underestimated. ”

After listening to Zheng Xiaoqing's statement, Yang Ying had an even more headache, he wanted to just find the clear sky, and the complexity of Wushuang City was beyond Yang Ying's imagination.

Just when Yang Ying hesitated to support his forehead, a joking voice came, "Young Master Yang, we are really fated to meet again so soon." ”

Hearing this voice, Yang Ying couldn't help but be angry, clenched his fists, but immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head sideways and squinted at the comer, this time Kou Zhong and his group only had Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, and the rest did not follow.

The corners of Yang Ying's mouth opened slightly, "Hehe, you can really meet Zhong Shao!" ”

"Where, I don't know where Yang Gongzi is going, maybe we can go the same way!"

Yang Ying's eyes shrank, and he secretly wondered: What is this Kou Zhong going to do, I killed his people, why don't you see any displeasure from him? Since you're going, I'm glad you can attract some attention, after all, he is also the leader of the future Jianghuai Army.

So Yang Ying said happily: "I want to go to Wushuang City for something, I don't know if Zhong Shao will go with me."

Kou Zhong's face also changed, "You also want to go to Wushuang City!" ”

Kou Zhong's performance surprised Yang Ying in his heart, could it be that there is something hidden in Wushuang City, and the purpose of his trip is not to hunt me down?

A series of thoughts surfaced in Yang Ying's heart, Yang Ying looked at Zheng Xiaoqing, she was also at a loss, obviously not knowing what was going on.

At this time, Kou Zhong also noticed Zheng Xiaoqing, and was immediately attracted by her appearance, and secretly thought: This Yang Ying is accompanied by beautiful women everywhere, like I am surrounded by big men, and said jealously: "Yang Gongzi is really lucky, and he is accompanied by beauties everywhere, he is really envious of others!" ”

Yang Ying's face showed a hint of Hao Ran, glanced at her, and saw that her expression was as usual, so she said proudly: "Hehe, no way, people are popular." ”

His words didn't cause a gap between the two, Kou Zhong was unhappy, but he still smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if I can tell the girl Fang's name." ”

"Zheng Xiaoqing, a slave, has seen Zhong Shao." Zheng Xiaoqing said lightly, and then stopped talking, Kou Zhong was also quite embarrassed, and left quickly with Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan.

After two days of getting along, Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing also got acquainted with each other, "Xiaoqing, I won't call you Miss Zheng anymore, you can also call me Brother Yang in the future!" ”

"Well, Brother Yang"

"Xiaoqing, do you know Kou Zhong?"

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of his name, he is the righteous son of Du Fuwei, the king of Jianghuai, although I often stay in the cottage, but some of the news is still very well-informed, what, Brother Yang has an enmity with him"

"Well, it's still a deep hatred, but I'm going to divide you to the death in the future."

"I heard that Kou Zhong's reputation is not bad, how can he have a grudge against Brother Yang?"

"Hehe, I have a good impression of him, but our positions are different, and who doesn't want to be subservient, so the result is naturally doomed."

Zheng Xiaoqing didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and said casually: "Oh, then Brother Yang should be careful, I think this Kou Zhong is very powerful."

"It's not easy for him to want my life, but I can't take his life at will, even if we both hope for each other's early death."

"Well, the big city in front of you is Wushuang City" Zheng Xiaoqing pointed and explained to Yang Ying from a long distance.

This city is indeed big, which is slightly smaller than Chang'an City, but it looks more ancient, and a strong sense of historical vicissitudes is coming.

When you look closer, you can see that the city wall has been built for an unknown number of years, and the walls are full of tinkering, leaving arrow holes everywhere and scars cut by swords.

There are only six or seven big men in green shirts guarding the city gate, and the big men who come and go are fierce and vicious, with broad shoulders and round waists, even if a delicate little lady occasionally comes, there are bursts of fierce light in their eyes.

When there were still about twenty zhang away from the city gate, when these guards saw Zheng Xiaoqing's appearance, their faces showed a colorful expression, and even their eyes seemed to glow green. However, the leader of the guards was not blind, and trotted towards Yang Ying and the two flatteringly, "It turned out to be the eldest lady of Wushanzhai, it's really a big view."

Zheng Xiaoqing showed some doubts, obviously didn't know this person, and the person quickly explained: "It's not strange that the eldest lady doesn't know Xiaoxiao, the villain also saw Miss Zheng and Brother Jie together by chance, and only then did he know your identity when he asked." ”

"Do we need to pay a city entrance fee?"

"Hehe, how dare you let the eldest lady hand it over?"

"What's going on with those people" Zheng Xiaoqing frowned and pointed to a big man on the side, this big man didn't know what conflict with the doorman had just now, and one of his arms was cut off.

The head of the guards said with some disdain: "I have seen a lot of such people, and he still wants to enter Wushuang City if he has no money, is he a benevolent person in Wushuang City?" ”

Speaking of this, he explained: "If the people who come to the Peerless City have nothing important, they will offend people in other places and can't stay and take refuge in the Peerless City." ”

Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing are not nosy people, since the doorman did not stop them, the two rode through, and when they left, the leader of the doorman did not forget to remind, "Miss Zheng, Wushuang City has been a little chaotic these days, you have to pay attention to some safety." ”

Yang Ying muttered in a low voice: "This Wushuang City is really as rumored, and it will cut off someone's arm for a little cost of entering the door." ”

Zheng Xiaoqing listened to Yang Ying's complaints, chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Yang, this is nothing new in Wushuang City, and you haven't seen it yet!" ”

In fact, not long after entering Wushuang City, there were a few people vaguely surrounding a large open space, and the two people in the field were holding knives and cutting each other, dripping with blood, and the people next to them were just watching the excitement, seeing the wonderful places, and clapping their hands and shouting, "Good fight"

Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing stopped their horses and watched for a while, and the winners and losers were divided, one was killed by cutting his throat, and the other also paid an arm.

The onlookers also coaxed for a while, "Zhang San is good", "This Wang Wu is too ignorant, isn't it just that his wife was molested, no, his life has been ruined." Huh"

Yang Ying guessed from their words that he had a better understanding of the chaos in Wushuang City.

Zheng Xiaoqing saw Yang Ying's troubles and explained: "Brother Yang, in fact, not all of them are like this, there are also some more stable places in Wushuang City, and the law and order are still very good in the jurisdiction of the big forces."

"Brother Yang has arranged a place to live, if not, go to a stronghold in my Wushanzhai, where some influential people live, and it is easier to find out the news."

"Then it's arranged by Lao Xiaoqing."

"I'm glad to be able to help Brother Yang, Xiaoqing!"

"Xiaoqing, you call me Brother Yang, so you don't have to be so polite to me, I wasn't so well-behaved when I first met you"

As soon as Yang Ying mentioned the first meeting, Zheng Xiaoqing's face turned red for a while, at that time he thought he was a rich son, but seeing that he was still relatively handsome, he wanted to trick him into going to the cottage to be a boss.

Zheng Xiaoqing lowered his head and played with his fingers, "Brother Yang knows that he is making fun of others, so he ignores you" After speaking, he felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly drove his horse and galloped.

"Xiaoqing, wait for me" Yang Ying followed.

The two came to the door of a large mansion, and there was a plaque engraved with Zheng's mansion on the door, and as soon as the doorman saw Zheng Xiaoqing, he hurriedly ran over to lead Zheng Xiaoqing's horse and shouted "Miss is here"

Zheng Xiaoqing looked at the doorman casually, this doorman looked sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and small, and his clothes were neatly dressed, and suddenly shouted: "Little monkey" said while lifting his ear with one hand, "It turns out that you are hiding here"

"Yes, yes, it was the owner of the village who let me come" The little monkey explained, "It hurts, it hurts, the eldest lady, you just spare the little one" While begging for mercy, he also pretended to be embarrassed, seeing that Zheng Xiaoqing didn't let go, he blinked his eyes again, signaling that someone was still watching.

Zheng Xiaoqing turned his head and saw Yang Yingzheng staring with a smile, and hurriedly let go, while covering his face with both hands, "Well, it's embarrassing again."

Yang Ying laughed, and an old man walked out of the door, it was actually a one-armed, his feet were also limping, his skin was like orange peel, wrinkled, and his eyes were a little cloudy, "Xiaoqing is here."

Zheng Xiaoqing held the old man's other arm and shouted affectionately: "Yang Bo"

Yang Bo looked at Yang Ying carefully, "Xiaoqing, don't you want to introduce me?" ”

"Yang Bo, my name is Yang Ying, Xiaoqing's friend"

"Oh, it turned out to be Yang Gongzi!" Saying that, he looked at Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing back and forth, "Yes, yes, Xiaoqing has also grown up" and sighed: "I'm old, and I'm going to go down to accompany my old brother in a few years"

"Yang Bo is so good at saying such things, you have to live a long life."

"Hehe, I don't dare to think about it when I live a long life, I look forward to seeing Xiaoqing get married and have children" Yang Bo smiled kindly.

Zheng Xiaoqing bowed his head slightly, and then said shyly: "It's still early, I won't marry, I want to accompany Yang Bo."

Yang Bo smiled with satisfaction and said, "What kind of stupid thing did Xiaoqing say, he didn't invite Yang Gongzi in." ”

Zheng Xiaoqing helped Yang Bo, turned back to Yang Ying and said, "Brother Yang, let's live here for a few days!" ”

"Okay, it's just going to trouble Yangbo"

"Hehe, what did Yang Gongzi say, you are Xiaoqing's friend, just come here as if you were your own family, you can tell your subordinates or Xiaoqing if you have any requirements."
