The cold wind gusted, and the pedestrians on the street involuntarily wrapped their clothes tightly. It's the early winter of another year, and the lead-colored dark clouds in the sky are heavy, indicating that the first game of this winter is not far away.

The Xingtian Wharf outside Xingtian City was still bustling. Since the Zixuan Plane succeeded to the throne by the Spirit King Zixuan Kiss, the three spiritual passes in the world leading to the outside of the plane have been locked up by her, and only this Heavenly Spirit Pass has been left. For example, although there are many events today, the Purple Lotus Sect and the Yuanmo Alliance have started trouble in the northeast and northwest of the empire, and they were immediately suppressed by this Xunchuan Shi and the princess of the empire, Zixuan Weiyang, with their own strength, and the people everywhere could not make a living, and they were completely destroyed, but only this Heavenly City was still prosperous.

Because the goods in and out of Zixuan all need to pass through here: the cloud tea in the sky, the animal skins on the wind-breathed wasteland, the purple porcelain of Yunmeng Tianze in the south, and the colored silk on the Lufeng Mountain in Xunyang in the north all gather here, and countless adventurers from different planes and the trading of this meteorite merchant group all flock here, making the prosperity of this ancient oriental spiritual pass of Zixuan even better than in the past.

I don't know when, this Xingtian City has a very prosperous Zixuan, and Xingtian has the reputation of monopolizing seven or eight.

In Xingtian City, which has a population of 10 million, the most lively party is the Thirteen Lines Wharf where the Moon Shadow River and Xingtian Mountain meet outside the city. These thirteen lines were directly established by the Zixuan Imperial Court, and were the only institutions for trade and communication between the empire and the heteroplane. The approval and rating of the goods, the license to enter the customs of all the merchants who come and go, and the conversion and exchange of the face spirit stones are all determined by these thirteen lines, which can be said to be the core of the wealth circulation of Xingtian City and even the entire Zixuan plane.

The person in charge of the thirteen elements is said to be the only spirit refining king Fengyun Old Man worshiped in the Zixuan Empire today, and there are thirteen spirit refining people under his jurisdiction, each holding a line, which is set up for the largest spiritual trade of the thirteen sects in the world. There is also a deacon's house under the thirteen elements, which is set up to maintain the daily operation of the entire thirteen elements.

The office of these thirteen lines is set up on a flat land not far from the wharf, these thirteen lines occupy a wide area, among which the spirit array is forested, and there are two unicorn knights standing guard in front of the dark gate, and the ground is majestic and majestic.

However, the thirteen blocks around these thirteen lines were a different scene, with three sects and nine streams, people of different planes, etc., as well as large and small shops, which surrounded the entire distance from the office of the thirteen elements to the Moon Shadow River. Moreover, Zixuan has had many events in recent years, many refugees who have been forced to have nothing to do by the scourge of war, and countless impostors who want to ask for an activity in the flowery world of Xingtian City have stopped here, which has made these thirteen lines of docks full of fireworks.

On the street of the noisy and bustling Thirteen Lines Wharf, a young catcher was slowly walking towards the wharf in the darkening sky.

He looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a half-new dark red catcher suit, without an official hat on his head, and his hair was tied up. Although he is not very old, his face no longer has the immature color that is common to young people. His facial features are clear, and his body can be called a handsome young man, but an eye-shaped arrow wound on his forehead makes this face a little more depressed that should not belong to his age.

It was after the war in the Wind-Breathing Wasteland that he was left alone to travel in the cold night of this Heavenly City.

When the caravans and the coolies of the dock saw the young man passing by, their faces were full of smiles, and their hands were quietly stretched out, and in the blink of an eye, they had stuffed a spirit stone into the deacon's hand. Han Yexing was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen the three of them and hadn't gotten the spirit stone, so he didn't stop and walked over.

After walking around like this in the cold night, all the business travelers know the rules quite well. By the time he left the docks, he had already accumulated a lot of spirit stones.

Suddenly, he heard a passing bard singing about the new heroic legend, and he stopped and listened. The story of Xunchuan Shi's hard defense of Xunyang City and the Great Breaking Abyss Momeng sung by the bard, although there are many exaggerations, the general context is exactly the same. And there is a lot of generosity and sadness in the tone, and there are many grievances for the final sad end of this Xunzi camp and the fate of Xunchuan Shi.

But in spite of the rush of pedestrians, not many people stopped to listen to the bard's singing, and did not care much about what he was singing.

The cold night walk suddenly remembered that the day he met the old blind man in Xunyang City was also such a heavy snowfall. He shook his head vigorously, silently put down a spirit stone under the case at the old bard's feet, and walked straight towards the yamen.

Along the way, all the shops were busy closing the doors and windows to collect signs, and the stalls were busy packing up the goods one by one.

"Xiao Xingzi, are you busy, Aunt Li was still looking for you just now. ”

"Xiao Xingzi, I have time to sit, I have new good wine here. ”

Han Yexing nodded with a smile and responded one by one, and along the way, these merchants also quietly stuffed large or small spirit stones into his hands, and he also stuffed them back into his sleeves unceremoniously. The footsteps didn't stop, and when I turned a street, a Falling Moon shop appeared in front of me, and I shouted "Boss Lin" in the cold night, and walked straight in.

It was a large-scale spiritual artifact shop, and it was one of the dozens of branches set up by the Falling Moon Shop in Xingtian City, which was famous throughout the dimensional world. A young man in his thirties walked out and said with a smile: "It's a little liner, I haven't seen you for a long time." You see, I haven't opened today, and I haven't sold a single artifact......"

The smile on Han Yexing's face remained unchanged, and he only smiled: "You said the same thing when I came yesterday. At that time, there were a total of forty-five spirit bells on your shelf, of which thirty were from the Blue Spirit and fifteen were from the Spirit Refining. Now, there are still twenty-five spirit bells on this shelf, twenty of which are from Lan Ling and twenty-five are from Linyuan. I'm glad you.,It's new again.。 ”

The face of the boss from the Linyuan plane turned pale, and after the young man entered the store, he only glanced at the corner, and actually said the numbers clearly.

Boss Lin smiled bitterly: "Xiao Xingzi, I'm convinced." As he spoke, he quietly handed over a bag of spirit stones.

When I came out of the cold night, I turned another street, and I saw two headless giant statues in front of me, one holding a giant axe and the other holding a sharp sword. Behind the two statues is a row of tall walls made of cyan spirit stones, and when the eye looks over the wall, red bricks and blue tiles faintly appear. Behind this wall, there is the center of Xingtian City, which controls the Xingtian Mansion of nearly 10 million civilians in Xingtian City.

Bypassing the two headless statues, turn left, and a few hundred steps away is a gray-black hut. The huts are low and old, and every brick is inscribed with the traces of erosion of time.

The boy walked straight over, pushed the door open, and a hot, slightly fishy noise came out. The young man walked in, closed the door with his backhand, greeted "Boss Nan", raised his hand, and threw the spirit bag wrapped in a small ball in his sleeve.

There were more than ten men in the house, who were drinking and eating meat around a table of wine and food, two of them were wearing the same fast hunting clothes, and their clothes had been stained with wine stains and discolored, and several others took off their shirts directly, and they were shirtless in this winter, relying on the fierceness of the soju, and they were sweating profusely.

Hearing the young man's greeting, a person opposite him raised his head, took the silver bag with his hand, turned it upside down, and said with a smile: "These businessmen are interesting." Come, Xiao Xingzi, count yourself lucky, Lao Li of the Fishing Dragon Gang at the dock sent this table of banquets, and you were just in time. Let's eat and drink first, and then divide the money!"

This man had just been eating and drinking at his desk, but he was so motivated that he looked extremely tall when he landed, and this low hut seemed to be unable to accommodate him. His hands and feet are much thicker than ordinary people, especially his hands, which have thick calluses from the tiger's mouth, extending up to the elbows.

He was also dressed in a fast suit, but the color was darker than everyone else, and although he looked like he was dripping with wine and meat, he had no stains on his body at all. This person is this veteran who has been catching fast, and he is also an old acquaintance of Han Yexing who used to be in Xunyang City, and Nan Batian, who once served as the leader of the Xunyang Gang of the Fishing Dragon Gang at the dock of Xunyang City.

Since the beginning of the siege of Xunyang, he escorted Shi Jingtang, the Linghou of Xunyang, to escape from Xunyang City, and went all the way east to this Heavenly City. That Shi Jingtang moved around the family property he was greedy for, and finally got an official to be reinstated. That Shi Jingtang said that he would thank Nan Batian with heavy money, but this Nan Batian was strange, he refused Shi Jingtang's heavy money, but he asked Shi Jingtang to say something, and he got the head of this torture city for him.

When everyone heard that the money was divided, they all laughed. A few people squeezed in, gave up a seat, and walked over in the cold night, and in a moment all kinds of fist shouts sounded again.

The wine is bad wine, but it dares to be a strong wine, and the throat is like a fire in one sip, and it hurts all the way from the mouth to the stomach, and then there is a "boom", and I feel that the whole person is warm. This kind of wine is the appetite of this group of men. In a moment, the table was a mess, everyone's eyes were drunk, and their speech began to be slurred.

Only two people are exceptions.

Nan Batian glanced appreciatively at the cold night walk whose eyes were still clear, and slapped the table hard, and the dishes and bowls on the table jumped up and crackled. Everyone barely opened their drunken eyes and looked at Nan Batian.

With a bang, Nan Batian poured the bag of spirit stones on the table and said, "Old rules, everyone divided it." I'll take a big portion first. Saying that, he stretched out his hand calmly and dialed the pile of spirit stones in front of him, and everyone Vladivostok was not the least dissatisfied, and they also stretched out their hands and dialed a few spirit stones in front of them, and everyone in front of them was about the same.

There was only one pile left on the table, and when Han Yexing saw that everyone had divided it, he reached out to take this pile, and when his hand reached halfway, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and whispered to Nan Batian: "Boss Nan, the knight of the Weiyang Legion yesterday ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's voices suddenly froze, Nan Batian's eyes were full of anger, and he slammed his palm on the table, and sneered: "Qilin Knight, a knight of a dignified Weiyang Legion even dares to put his hand into our thirteen lines! Hmph, I think that if we take advantage of the situation, we will be able to lower him? Brothers, don't care, even if we share this silver, who dares to come and instigate me Nanbatian." ”

A shirtless deacon whispered, "Boss, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. The knight of the Weiyang Legion clearly robbed us of our share of the profits, how could he not know? I guess that the money was ostensibly asked by the knight, and it may be the ...... behind his back Besides, we finally got out of this identity from this skin, so let's take a look at the wind direction for the time being. Thinking that Zixuan Weiyang is a princess, who doesn't know that she will take over as the Spirit King after all, and he will not stay in this Heavenly City for a long time after all. Besides, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that we can go back to our old business, anyway, in the long run, we can take it back. ”

This catcher looked even rude, but his words were cautious and leaky, everyone nodded one after another, and without waiting for Nan Batian to answer, they pushed out the spirit stones in front of them one by one.

Nan Batian didn't know this truth, but the anger in his heart was difficult to dispel after all.

He had been in the Dragon Fishing Gang for a long time, and he was already the head snake of the Moon Shadow River. As long as it is a matter on the river, without the Fishing Dragon Gang, it will be difficult to move an inch no matter who you are. Even like a year ago, the world was changing, the Purple Lotus Sect swept through the southeast, and later attacked thousands of miles, besieging Xunyang City, turning the entire Moon Shadow River upside down. But on this river, Shi Jingtang wants to abandon the city and flee, and finally has to ask him to go to Nan Batian.

But now that he has arrived in Xingtian City, he has obtained this skin, which is considered an extra talisman, but it also has an extra layer of scruples. And what is particularly annoying is that this Weiyang army is the pride of the sky, and has always been above the top, and has never disdained to compete with them for food, but now for some reason it is Bala who has come to his bowl. How can he swallow this breath.

In fact, when he took the initiative to take refuge in Na Shi Jingtang, there was no opposition in the gang. Although this punishment heaven and earth are very rich, the situation on the ground is also extremely complicated. Not only are these 50,000 Weiyang legions stationed, but also those merchants from different planes, giants and big businessmen, and they are all masters with hands and eyes, and the slightest carelessness will cause great trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a high status in the Fishing Dragon Gang and had received the full help of this huge gang, he himself was familiar with the heads of the rivers and lakes, but I was afraid that the chief catcher of Xingtian City might not be able to sit firmly.

Nanba Tianchao nodded slightly to the other deacon, and the deacon sneered a few times: "Hmph, don't wait later." Since this bullshit knight doesn't take us seriously, let's let him know who the realm of this Heavenly Punishment City is. Xiao Xingzi, I have been staring at that knight for several days, he will go to Fengyun Pavilion every day to stay until the third watch, today we will call a few brothers, put a sack on his head and clean him up. Hmph, without the Qilin Fierce Beast and the Concord Battle Array, he saw that the knight of the Weiyang Legion had a few catties and taels at the bottom. As for this spirit stone, it should be treated as a wound. ”

Being forcibly robbed of a part of the benefits, the men were even more angry than Nan Batian, at first the persuasion was nothing more than not wanting to embarrass Nan Batian, but now when they heard that they were going to beat people, they were not afraid of things, and they couldn't help cheering.

The cold night walker's eyes were in a trance, remembering the majestic posture of the Weiyang Legion that he had twice met at the critical moment and the domineering spirit of the decisive battle, it seemed that these were some things that had been a long time ago. He lost his mind for a moment and did not respond to Nan Batian's words. Han Yexing has been here for more than half a year, and everyone has only seen his calm and sophisticated side on weekdays, but they have never seen him so gaffe. couldn't help but glance at each other, and the catcher patted Han Yexing's shoulder and said, "Or what are you?"

The cold night walk was patted, and his body was shaken, and Fang came back to his senses from that trance memory. He looked at Nan Batian, then turned his head and smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do this." ”

Everyone felt that he was frightened by the prestige of the Weiyang Legion, and there was a burst of laughter, and the bare-chested deacon said: "Xiao Xingzi, don't be afraid, that Zixuan Weiyang has always been strict, thinking that kid eats flowers and wine every day in the Fengyun Pavilion, and picks up Jiao Niang, we just beat him, presumably that kid doesn't dare to make a big deal about it." If that kid is interested, it's not difficult for our South boss to think of a way to get him out. Let's just don't cause trouble, now someone is bullying the head, but there is no need to be afraid of him. ”

Han Yexing shook his head: "I've seen that Weiyang knight before, I can't beat him." Lao Li, if you want to get him, you have to bring more people to plan well, but there are too many people, and I am afraid that things will not be secret. ”

Nan Batian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He knew that the second half of the cold night walk was just to give him a step down. He has known Han Yexing for many years, and since he was a little orphan on the north dock of Xunyang City, Nan Batian has admired this child who is a little wooden but clever in his heart. Now that they met again in this Heavenly City, although he had never seen him make a move, as a veteran of the rivers and lakes, he had already discovered that this child had become extremely powerful.

Since Han Yexing thinks that he can't beat the lone Weiyang knight, I'm afraid that kid does have some doorways, listening to the implication of Han Yexing's words, even if Nan Batian makes a move, he may not be able to be sure of victory.

Nan Batian immediately smiled: "Forget it, the brothers all have a mouth, let that kid live happily for a few more days." Hmph, looking at his arrogant and domineering appearance, when he is really a Weiyang knight, he thinks that he is a great master, and it won't take a few days for someone to clean him up. ”

Everyone echoed, the spirit stone was redivided, and after three rounds of wine, everyone dispersed.
