Chapter 8: Cangling Town

Cangling Town, the first town dozens of miles north of Jinling. Because the canal passes through the town, the transportation is extremely developed, and with it comes the private salt business. Decades ago, a third-rate gang appeared in Cangling Town, the Jiaochuan Gang, which has grown rapidly because of its monopoly on the illegal salt business, and has now become the largest gang in the local area (of course, the other gangs have basically been swallowed up).

Of course, Tang Mo and Shuangshuang didn't know about it at all, and it was the first time they had even heard of this town.

Half an hour later, Tang Mo Shuangshuang arrived in Cangling Town. Parking the car in a remote place and leaving it to the coachman, the two got out of the car and went straight to the local restaurant (they were indeed hungry), the largest and most conspicuous restaurant in Cangling Town was Juying Building with an official background, so Tang Moshuangshuang and the two entered this restaurant.

Because breakfast time has passed, there are only two tables in the lobby that are still eating. Tang Mo thought that this trip should not be too short, save some silver taels, and did not go to the second floor, and was preparing for an empty table on the first floor to order.

Tang Mo and Shuangshuang sat on a table in the corner of the first floor, and the shopkeeper immediately came over and asked Tang Mo, the boy who was traveling with a scholar: "What do you two eat?" Our restaurant is the largest restaurant in Cangling Town, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, as long as you order, we will go up." ”

Tang Mo smiled at him and made a gesture to ask the shopkeeper to ask Frost, and the shopkeeper was also quite discerning, and did not show any surprised expression because of the relationship between master and servant, so he smiled and asked Frost who was dressed as a scholar.

Shuangshuang didn't bother to say anything to anyone other than Tang Mo, ignored the diligence of the shopkeeper, and said coldly: "Go to your best early, don't need too much." ”

The shopkeeper secretly scolded himself: "Your son-in-law is much more polite than you, and I don't know how you serve people with such a cold temperament as a scholar." He said so in his heart, but he still had a welcome smile on his face: "Okay, wait a minute." ”

After the shopkeeper left, Shuangshuang turned his head and smiled: "Childe, when we arrive in Yangzhou, we can taste Yangzhou's hot dried silk." Let's be wronged today. ”

Tang Mo rubbed Han Gongqiu on his lap, looked at the frost and frost through the autumn water-like gaze, and replied: "It doesn't matter, we should go out for a long time this time, save some flowers." ”

Frost grinned and replied, "I hope Childe can talk the talk." ”

Tang Mo smiled: "With Frost, you can eat anything." ”

Frost lowered her crimson cheeks, and her heart was secretly happy.

Tang Mo saw that Shuangshuang lowered his head, felt a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look at the door of Juying Building. For a while, the atmosphere between the two was extremely delicate.

"Hey, hey, what's the situation, Frost, this little girl's reaction is really quite sultry. Tang Mo sighed in his heart.

"I'm ashamed, why is Childe always so exciting!" Frost thought with a red cheek.

Just as Tang Mo mustered up the courage to break the silence, a table in the center of the lobby was in an uproar, the table full of food was overturned, and the four people at the table each occupied a corner and confronted each other.

Tang Mo and Shuangshuang were both attracted by this sound, and turned their heads to look at the table.

"Hmph, I've always heard that Ling Jian's swordsmanship is unique in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect this violent temper to be one of the best in the rivers and lakes. A thin middle-aged man dressed in a black suit sat on a stool next to the overturned table, pressed his hands on a sheathed ghost-headed knife that lay horizontally on his lap, and said coldly.

A smiling monk beside him, dressed as a slightly obese, held a jar of wine in his arms in one hand, and held a white porcelain wine glass in the other hand to drink himself, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't say that." Ling Jian Shuangxia is a person with a head and a face, what's wrong with some tempers. But...... You have to find the right person to develop this temper!" As he spoke, after drinking the wine in the glass, he twisted the wine glass in his hand into powder with a smile, and a pair of cloudy drunken eyes shone brightly.

The Ling Jian Shuangxia who was ridiculed by this senior brother with a great contrast in body shape was a pair of young men and women standing a few meters away, and it was obviously these two who overturned the table.

Tang Mo couldn't help but cheer in his heart after seeing the two of them: "This Ling Jian Shuangxia is indeed a pair of beautiful people, but I don't know if the skills are the same as what the pair of weird brothers said." Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said secretly in her heart: "These three men are not as good as Gongzi, one is better than the other, well, Gongzi is the best-looking." "Shuangshuang's thoughts are biased, the two brothers and sisters look ordinary, but Ling Jian Shuangxia is indeed a pair of golden boys and girls. Of course, there is a shih h h in the eyes of a lover.

The other people in the lobby had long since disappeared, and the shopkeeper had already slipped out of the door after the table was overturned, thinking that he should have gone to report to the official. Tang Mo and Shuangshuang didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and sat in place with great interest and watched.

I saw the handsome man in the Ling Jian Twin Heroes standing and sneering: "What, why are you two dissatisfied?"

"Serve, naturally. It's just that after today, the title of Ling Jian Shuangxia will be ruined. The fat monk still replied with a smile, twisted the white porcelain powder in his hand, and said: "Moreover, the monk's cup is not cheap, the things in the mausoleum of Taizu in the previous dynasty, the two of you will see how to compensate." ”

The glamorous woman in Ling Jian's twin heroes shouted: "Dead bald donkey, what does it matter to us that you twist it yourself?"

"Oh, then I'll make an excuse for my cup myself!" As soon as the words fell, the monk threw up the wine jar, stood up and waited for the jar to fall to his chest, and patted both sides of the jar with both hands, and the jar burst immediately. The little wine left did not spill, and condensed into a snake made of wine in the monk's palms, and he pushed it with both hands, and with a move of "Leap Scattering Beans into a Soldier", he went straight to Ling Jian Shuangxia.

The man snorted coldly and sneered: "I didn't expect the ghost Arhat to look down on him so much, and he started with a vicious trick to take people's lives. With that, he pulled out the soft sword in the scabbard at his waist, and used a move "King Qin Sweeps Liuhe", bringing out a burst of sword qi to wrap the snake.

The ghost arhat laughed and said, "I don't dare to poison Ling Jian Shuangxia, who in this place doesn't know that the two of you are from the Sword Pool." Even if it only hurts a strand of the two of you's hair, the sword pool will be with us forever. As he spoke, the snake condensed by the wine had already torn through the turbulent air flow around him, and in an instant it stabbed the man and spilled his drink. The man's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. The woman hurriedly flashed to the man's side and held his shoulder, although she didn't say anything, the worry on her face could not be hidden. Tang Mo and Shuangshuang were even more surprised, they didn't expect the snake condensed by this wine to be so powerful.

Seeing that the trick was successful, the ghost arhat smiled even more, and said, "Since you have already injured the two of you, then you can only ask the two of you to keep your mouth shut forever." ”

The senior brother beside him replied: "Senior brother's words are extremely true. As soon as the words fell, the ghost head knife on his waist had already been unsheathed. With a single breath, the blade slashed at the man's throat.

It turned out that he secretly condensed his internal force in his wrist, and then with a shock of his wrist, he threw the ghost head knife in front of Ling Jian Shuangxia with a move.

Just when the six people present (Ghost Arhat and his senior brother, Tang Moshuangshuang, and Ling Jian Shuangxia) thought that this move should directly take the man's life, a walnut with a slight purple nickname "descendants and generations" bounced away the ghost head knife with a "dang" sound of breaking the wind.

Tang Mo was even more surprised when he saw this scene, he could see at a glance that the walnut was priceless, and more importantly, the walnut was as intact as ever after it hit the ghost head knife.

The senior brother of the ghost arhat snorted coldly, and suddenly stood up to catch the ghost head knife.

At the same time, a man's pretended hearty voice came from outside the door of Juying Building, "Several, for the sake of my Zhu today, how about everyone put down their blades and talk about it?"
