The continent of Fanahim is divided into two continents, east and west, by the Tianjue Mountains.

The trading city of Oslin is located in the south, which is a rich coastal city, formerly the third largest country on the western continent, the capital of the Kingdom of Portia, after the unification of the Western continent by the Marston Empire, it relied on the advantages of trade brought by the coastline and dependence on the political center of the empire, etc., to maintain the prosperity of the past.

The three-masted galleons come and go in the harbor, the workers on the docks are in full swing to help carry goods, and from time to time you can see the huge treasure ships from the East, and the shrewd and capable Orientals sell the silk and spices that the nobles liked on the docks, and at the same time buy novelties that can only be found in the West.

In the years after the war, angry young people could be seen everywhere on the streets casting resentful glances at the imperial soldiers on the streets, and the tension in the city was like a string that was tense to the extreme, ready to collapse at any moment.

In order to cope with this situation, the Imperial Chancellor Bopolini supported a small local nobleman, the Libeer family, to run the city, and at the same time carried out a large-scale immigration campaign, countless Marston citizens poured into the city, half of the old kingdom commoner nobles were relocated to other cities, and after three years of efforts, finally stabilized the law and order in Auslin.

However, this original initiative to promote the integration of the people of the north and the south did not have much effect, and the nobles and commoners from the north looked down on the people of these defeated countries, and they had always hated the people of Marston, who had broken their country, and before they knew it, the people who had migrated from the north spread such a name to the Portians.

"Nanban"

It was a scorn for all the countries in the southern part of the continent, and it was now applied to these Portians.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhou Lie from the Eastern Continent.

No matter how many times he walked through the streets of the city, Zhou Lie would be amazed and a little uneasy, since he left that splendid palace two years ago and came here from the Eastern Continent on the pretext of studying abroad, he knew that he had made the right decision.

This is not only for his own country, but also for himself, to keep himself away from the dangerous heir struggle, as the thirteenth prince of the Xia Kingdom, he knows that he has no advantage, it is better to stay away from those whirlpools of struggle, and wait until everything is settled and come back.

However, the experience of these years told him that the West has risen, as evidenced by those machines that emit white smoke and can work automatically, and there are also those magic masters in the West who are equal to the strength of martial arts masters, and if the ancient and huge Xia Kingdom continues to respect the tradition and does not want to forge ahead, it will inevitably be crushed by the other party's steel machines in the near future.

It's a pity that his warning can't reach the motherland, and he is in a foreign country, so he is already lucky not to be a victim of the war, and he can only hope that his existence can buy a little more time for Daxia and wake up a little more insight.

And he just needs to play a depressed and frustrated prince here, or in fact he is.

After walking into a restaurant called Phoenix Tavern on Noble Street, showing a badge to the waiter, he was led by the waiter to a secret door leading to the second floor.

The staircase behind this secret door leads to the real second floor of the tavern, dedicated to the entertainment of the nobility, and those who are eligible for the badge must be selected "insiders".

And Zhou Lie, who has always been bohemian and has maintained his own way in the academy, easily obtained this qualification.

Walking upstairs with a familiar car, I walked into one of the private rooms, which were more spacious than I imagined, and there was a ring inside, and there were simple auditorium seats on both sides of the ring, and a middle-aged nobleman with a big belly and a bald middle-aged man sat opposite each other.

The fat nobleman looked at each other with a smug expression, and when he saw Zhou Lie come in, he laughed even more.

"Your so-called foreign aid is such an Oriental boy? Although I have heard of the great martial arts masters of the East, but such a little kid who has not grown any hair, I'm afraid that he can poke it over with one finger, right? Hahahaha. ”

As if he hadn't heard, Zhou Lie walked directly to the balding middle-aged man and said, "I'm going to play three games today, right?"

"That's right, my other two fighters are ready, and the master can warm up in the first two games and play in the third. The middle-aged man said in a respectful tone, in fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, if it weren't for Zhou Lie's sworn appearance at that time, the middle-aged man really wanted to find someone else.

"No need, I'll play the first game, and your two thugs will just watch from the sidelines, no more than an hour, and then I'll have an appointment." Zhou Lie took off his student uniform and changed into the clothes handed over by the middle-aged man, and said.

"Hmph, arrogant little brat, don't be beaten and cry in the ring when the time comes. ”

Zhou Lie changed his clothes, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and operated the internal force around his body according to the method of breathing and accepting that he was familiar with, and when he opened it again, there was no smile in his eyes, only a piece of cold ice.

Anyone can say verbal words, but it is useless to say more, in Zhou Lie's eyes, these inferior nobles who are drunk and dreaming all day long can't get into his eyes at all, and fighting back against the other party's ridicule is no different from self-deprecation.

Knocking out three professional martial arts experts in an hour seemed impossible to anyone, and what Zhou Lie said was as easy as eating grilled steak tonight, which completely infuriated those three opponents.

"Come on boy, let me see how you knock me out!" said the bald man in the ring.

The ring begins.

The bald man has solid muscles, and his body size is also bigger than Zhou Lie, and the two are relatively standing, and the difference in size makes people not optimistic about Zhou Lie.

What's more, Zhou Lie's skin is pale and sickly, which makes people feel like they have not exercised their bodies, how to compete with the other party.

With the sound of a gong, the battle began.

The bald man roared, and then rushed towards Zhou Lie in a hug shape, the ring was already small, and the distance between the two was only three steps away, this distance was not enough for Zhou Lie to dodge, and the big man was tall and had long arms, but there was nowhere to hide.

Zhou Lie did not retreat but advanced, and also moved at the moment when the opponent moved, bent over and sideways, pushed his right palm to the opponent's abdomen, and then turned half of his body slightly, his shoulders pressed against the opponent's lower waist, and his left hand grabbed one of the opponent's hands and moved forward.

"Bang" only took less than a second, and before the audience could see what was happening, the bald man was thrown to the ground, looking at the ceiling in a daze, as if he didn't understand what had just happened.

Without giving him time to react, Zhou Lie flew up and kicked the big man in the flank and kicked directly out of the ring.

"Next, I'm in a hurry. Zhou Lie looked at the audience and said lightly.

At the same time, outside the city of Auslin, a black carriage was attacked, and the already wounded guards were broken by the incoming rebels, whose uniforms were stripped off, put on by the rebels, and then swaggered towards the city.

"What, the carriage has been hijacked?" said Augustus Libeer in the Consulate, hearing the report from his subordinates.

"Yes, the accompanying magician sent a text message at the end, 'The carriage was missed', and I have sent patrols to strengthen the city gates while looking for clues in their path. The subordinate who came to report replied.

"The patrol team is not enough, you go and pass on my orders, tell Doug, get the Crows moving, they are the best at this kind of thing. Augustus ordered, "We all know who wanted the contents of that carriage, and we must not lose them, otherwise our position will not be small, but in exchange for a madman, we will not live." ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

"Hey, why are these people so stubborn, the kingdom has long been a yellow flower, do you want to start another war and die a bunch of people. Augustus paced back and forth in his office, and in this city, the only people who dared to do such a thing were the rebels hiding in the old streets, the old remnants of the kingdom.

If it weren't for Augustus secretly releasing water during several encirclements and suppressions, how could those people still live to this day, I thought that the other party could understand, but I didn't expect it to become more and more serious.

If it is an ordinary small fight, you may be able to turn a blind eye, but the looted thing is an important thing that the prime minister has specially explained, and there is no way to be sloppy.

After the war, the troops stationed here were withdrawn or disbanded one after another with the stability of law and order, but this special unit that specialized in dealing with reconnaissance, assassination, and stealth during the war was still in existence at this time, and remained in Auslin as a nail for the empire to spy on the Libeer family.

The veterans themselves were good at tracking and tracing the trail, and it didn't take long for the other party's direction to be confirmed at the scene of the incident.

"Go to the East City Gate, tell them to carefully inspect the vehicles coming and going, those thieves wear uniforms and want to get through the customs, don't be deceived, they have really let those people into the city, at least ask where they are going, a group of five, a team of five, the old rules are divided into labor!

As the commander of the Crow Army, Doug knew very well that it would not be difficult for them to track down such a hijacking, and this group of laymen who did not even know the traces of destruction would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Crow Army even if they blended into the crowd.

2nd floor of the Phoenix Tavern.

Zhou Lie wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, and then put on his uniform, the bald man on one side respectfully gave the reward to Zhou Lie, and the fat nobleman on the other side was so surprised that he couldn't speak, in the past thirty minutes, Zhou Lie did not rest at all, and challenged three of his fighters in a row, and the three big men didn't even touch the body of this thin boy, and they were knocked to the ground one after another.

"Is this the Great Grandmaster, you're too much of a bully!"

"How can I be a great grandmaster, to be able to reach that realm, I have to be immersed in martial arts for at least forty years, I'm just a half-ass. After throwing off this sentence, Zhou Lie's middle-aged man left the private room with respectful attention.

In the underground gambling house of Noble Street, the only advantage is that the other party will pay happily if he loses, so as long as he shows his hands a little, he can participate in it, but it is obviously a vulgar activity but it has to be integrated with elegance, and the whole atmosphere is like tea with sugar, which makes Zhou Lie feel disgusting,

So every time after getting paid, he would come to the old street to have fun, the old street was after the war, after the immigration activities, those who did not leave the kingdom residents and the down-and-out nobles, the casinos in these places were as much more atmospheric as Zhou Lie thought, every time he won in Phoenix, he would lose at least half of the money here.

I also walked into a teahouse and showed the boss a badge, but unexpectedly, the boss shook his head and said, "The underground is not open today, please go back." ”

"Why don't you open it, and boss, how can we say that we are also old acquaintances, you don't recognize the emblem and will recognize me as a person, what special activities do you have from time to time, I know the rules, give me a reminder?" Zhou Lie has encountered this situation a few times before, mostly because the underground owner comes here to hold special activities, and at this time it will be a guest, but if you give enough money, it is not that you can't put it in.

But to Zhou Lie's surprise, the boss still shook his head, rejected Zhou Lie with a serious face, and retreated to the back hall to ignore him.

Zhou Lie was a little helpless, but this one is not good, just change to another.
