Chapter 12: The Wind Rises in Yanzhou (6)
Jiangbei Province, Yanzhou Prefecture, the intersection of official roads in Taitung County and Fengcheng County.
Taitung County and Fengcheng County are adjacent to each other, and the two counties are considered transportation hubs throughout Jiangbei. In the past, there were constant cars and horses on the official road, and it was very lively. There are even many hawkers who have started small businesses along the road, selling some tea and food.
But now, the official road is quite depressed, the tragedy of the Dongfeng Dart Bureau is not an exception, in addition to the dart team, many merchants and people who run the rivers and lakes on the official road have been attacked, and even many people in the official palace have been tragically handrailed. The smaller ones who suffered were the ranks of disciples of various sects, large and small. They often travel in teams to help each other. Many sects have sent deacons to lead the team, so even the thugs of the Lotus Sect do not dare to act rashly.
Xiao Yin and his entourage led the inspectors of the inspection office to disguise themselves as a team of merchants. Xiao Yin pretended to be the owner, although Li Xue gritted her teeth, she had to pretend to be the wife of the owner in order to take care of the overall situation. Everyone in the inspection station, including Ding Yi, pretended to be a partner.
After all, Xiao Yin opened an inn, and this pretended to be a good one, but Li Xue, who claimed to be from the family of a small merchant in Jiangnan. No matter how you look at it, she has the temperament of a big family lady. But with Xiao Yin here, there was no problem.
Xiao Yin took everyone to rest at an herbal tea stall next to the official road, which was opened by a middle-aged couple. Seeing Xiao Yin and them coming, he hurriedly welcomed them warmly.
Xiao Yin and the others sat at three tables, and after sitting down, Xiao Yin greeted the middle-aged man and said, "Shopkeeper, a table and a pot of herbal tea, and a plate for every kind of food." ”
Xiao Yin is very generous, after all, Shen Chong, the magistrate of the county, promised that all the expenses of this operation will be reimbursed by the government, of course Xiao Yin will not be polite, after all, he is also contributing to the government, and it is such a dangerous job, of course he can't wronged himself.
The proprietress of the herbal tea stall immediately went down and got up.
This herbal tea stall is not small, it can even set up six tables, Xiao Yin and his party sat at one table, and the other three tables were filled by a group of people dressed in black and wearing hats.
Taitung County is located on the north bank of the Huajiang River, and it is already quite hot at this time, but this group of people is wrapped tightly, and all of them have solemn expressions, and everyone sits there silently drinking herbal tea without saying a word.
This naturally aroused Xiao Yin's curiosity, Xiao Yin has been opening the inn for three years, and he has seen a lot of people who go to the rivers and lakes. The group of people in front of them did not carry goods, they were definitely not merchants, and they were too old to look like the trial team of the cultivation sect walking the rivers and lakes, and they did not have the kind of casualness of the rangers who ran the rivers and lakes, so they had a bit of the temperament of the people in the army, but why didn't the people in the army go to the post station to rest, and they actually ran to the wild stall on the side of the road and looked so secretive. Xiao Yin was puzzled.
Xiao Yin walked up to one of the tables with a tea bowl, and said with a smile on his face: "This encounter is fate, the contemptible people are cloth merchants in Jianhu County, doing some cloth trading, I don't know what your brothers are doing to make a living." ”
A black-faced man said in a cold voice: "What do you guys do for a living, what do you have to do with your birdball, get out of here." ”
Xiao Yin stabilized his emotions and said lightly: "It's me who talks too much, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Xiao Yin secretly looked at this group of people, and saw that this group of people had fierce faces, especially the black-faced man who was not good at first glance.
Xiao Yin found that the group of people actually had a golden lotus mark on their boots. Xiao Yin was slightly surprised, this mark was very strange, could it be the mark of the Lotus Sect.
Xiao Yin's peeping eyes were naturally discovered by this group, and the black face said angrily: ", what are you kid looking at." ”
Seeing the black-faced man react so much
Xiao Yin was sure in his heart that this group of people was most likely from the Lotus Sect.
Xiao Yin said lightly: "You are not a big girl or a little daughter-in-law, look at it and there will be no less piece of meat, but your brothers' boots are not bad, and the golden lotus on the boots is quite chic." ”
Having said that, this group of Lotus Sect thugs naturally knew that their identities had been exposed.
The black face shouted violently and attacked Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin had already prepared, and pulling out the iron sword was a blow to "Tao Feng", and the dark blue sword-shaped vitality hit the chest of the black-faced man directly, and the black-faced man suffered this blow, but he did not suffer much damage, which made Xiao Yin feel a little surprised, but it was also reasonable, the Lotus Sect itself has many masters. The cultivation of the black-faced man in front of him is not low, and he may even be a master of the qi induction period.
The herbal tea stall had already been in chaos, and there were two patrolmen who were weak in cultivation with the middle-aged couple to withdraw. Then he also led the patrol to fight with the rest of the Lotus Sect,
Li Xue also raised his sword and cooperated with Xiao Yin to attack the black-faced man. For a while, the vitality on the official road was splashed, and the sound of gold and iron continued.
At the same time, Jingshi, Dongming Street, Xu Liting, the eldest daughter of the Liangguo Mansion, confronted the purple-clothed woman in Jianlu.
Both sides have already mobilized their Yuan Li, and they are about to fight. Xu Jie hurriedly drove away the onlookers around. This is the Jingshi Jinling, if there are casualties among the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not only will his official hat be lost, but his life will also be worried, even if he commands Lord Meng, he will be severely punished.
Xu Jie went up and persuaded: "Two nobles, why don't you change places and try again another day, this fight on the street, isn't it also a loss of face for the nobles." ”
The purple-clothed woman in the Sword House said in a cold voice: "Where is the little official, don't worry about my Sword House."
”
Xu Jie was angry in his heart after hearing this, he was also the seven-rank patrol captain of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he was called a small official, but in front of the first sect in the world, his official position was really nothing, even if the commander came, he had to accompany the smiling face.
Xu Liting, the county lord of the Liangguo Mansion, opened her mouth and said: "Sister Ni, why is it so stubborn, it is purely the luck of the little sister who won Sister Ni in Qingyang Courtyard that day, if the sister has the heart to compete again, it is better to listen to this little brother of the Soldiers and Horses, let's change to a suitable place and compete again another day." ”
The woman in purple, known as "Sister Ni", put away her sword after hearing this, and said coldly to Xu Liting: "Three days later, Xuanwu Dojo, I, Ni Mengyu, are waiting for you." ”
After hearing this, Xu Liting, the county lord of the Liangguo Mansion, bowed and bowed, and then got into the carriage.
The purple-clothed girl named Ni Mengyu also got into the carriage, and the two groups dispersed.
Xu Jie was pardoned, thinking that he had finally escaped.
"Lao Xu, I'm not late. ”
Xu Jie followed the prestige, only to see his colleague Han Fangyun, another captain patrolling the city, bringing people over.
Xu Jie said to Han Fangyun angrily: "Brother Han, you are really accurate, you came as soon as this person left." ”
Han Fangyun said embarrassedly: "There is a brawl between Hu people over there in Wenxuan Temple, I took someone to detain them, and I rushed here as soon as I received the news." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's all time for dinner, let's go and take two bites," Xu Jie said.
Han Fangyun was overjoyed when he heard this: "It just happens that in the second half of the day, we are not on a bad day. Let's go to Sanyang Pavilion.
”
"Okay"
