Chapter 246: The First Arrival

Nanliang, Liuzhen City.

Liuzhen City is a small city along the Yangtze River, but because of its thriving shipping business, it is more prosperous than many large cities in the central part of the Liang Kingdom.

Hundreds of merchant teams traveled here every day, and a steady stream of goods was transported from all over the country to Liuzhen City, and then from here to various parts of the Liang Kingdom.

In addition, Liuyu City was also one of the ports of exchange between Southern Liang and Northern Wei, and most of the merchants in the central and western Wei Kingdom usually entered Liang from there.

The prosperous trade has created the prosperity of Liuzhen City, with a dazzling array of shops and restaurants, clothing, food, housing and transportation, covering all aspects.

At noon, another caravan from Wei arrived at Liuqi City by water.

After a rigorous check, the caravan was able to enter the city without any problems.

Of course, all kinds of dots are naturally indispensable, and they are more than twice as high as the local caravan of Liang State.

The relationship between the Southern Liang and the Northern Wei was not good, so the Wei caravans that came and went would be exploited, and everyone was accustomed to it after a long time. Fortunately, most of the caravan goods are highly profitable things, so there is still something to be earned.

In the accompanying caravan, a young man dressed in black led the horse at the end. The caravan was full of people, and it was difficult to notice this person if they didn't pay attention to it.

The young man in black wore a hat on his head, a long sword on his back, and a wine bottle hanging from his waist.

His identity is the accompanying guard of the caravan, named Jiang Su, and he is naturally Shen Kuang, who has changed his identity.

After leaving Qiuluo City, Shen Guo followed the caravan all the way for more than ten days, until today he finally stopped at the ferry outside Liuyu City.

Only the leader of the caravan knew something about Shen Qian, so before he hurried, he didn't forget to tell his subordinates not to provoke Shen Qian, and he could not disturb Shen Qing along the way.

The Great Wei people are still martial, and the Southern Liang people worship literature, so the land of Southern Liang is less heroic in the north but more graceful in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although Shen Kuang is dressed as a Jianghu person, he looks delicate, and if he takes off his clothes, he looks like a handsome scholar.

After entering the city, Shen Kuang said hello to the caravan leader and left alone.

The leader seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he looked at Shen Jing, who was gradually moving away, and suddenly felt that this trip was enough even if he didn't make money.

The identity of the caravan was arranged by Liang Wenqin, although Liang Wenqin didn't say much, but Shen knew that it must have been instructed by Dugu Chong.

Liuyu City is not big, but it is really lively, and Shen Qing will even feel crowded when leading the hero on the road.

It was noon, so Shen Guo wanted to find a restaurant along the street to have lunch before hurrying.

At this time, there are the most customers, so there will be shouting and selling men standing outside the shops along the street, they are either pulling their throats or smiling, trying their best to attract customers.

Shen was a newcomer, so he casually found a restaurant and went in.

Seeing this, the guy at the door smiled and led the horse for Shen Guo and tied it to the open space outside the store, and then soon another guy from the house came out and led Shen Guo into the restaurant.

The guys in the restaurant are skillful, and I think it's often like this.

The restaurant was full of people, and the noise was endless, and the guy looked around and finally led Shen Jing to find an empty table in the corner.

"There are a lot of noisy people at noon, and you have to take care of the guests." The guy said while wiping the table and chair for Shen Guo.

Shen Jing said casually: "It's okay. ”

There are more people coming and going, local

Outsiders can tell a rough idea at a glance. So after Shen Jing sat down, the guy asked respectfully, "What do you want to eat?" If you don't know what to eat, we can also recommend a few sample store features to you. ”

Shen said: "It's good to have two signature dishes, I can't eat much by myself." Is there alcohol in the store? ”

Hearing this, the guy hurriedly replied: "Yes, there are many kinds of drinks in our store, both strong and not, what do you think you want to drink?" ”

Shen said: "Medium intensity is fine, but the best should be the best." ”

As he spoke, Shen Guan slowly untied the wine bottle on his waist.

Hearing this, the guy hurriedly took the wine bottle in Shen Kuang's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, the wine and food will come soon." ”

Such a two-story restaurant, the upper and lower places are not small, and it is actually full.

Most of the businessmen who look like they come and go, most of them are dozens of people in a group.

In addition, the most people in the rivers and lakes such as Shen Kuang also went to other places after turning here.

Shen Guan untied the hat and the long sword behind his back and put it on the table, after the guy left, the other guys who were interspersed in the restaurant quickly came over to serve tea, although it was not a good tea, but it was also a restaurant to entertain Zhou Dao.

Although the guys are busy, everyone has a smile on their faces, presumably the wages in the restaurant are not low, and everyone is working hard.

Shen Jing took a sip of slightly bitter tea, and the fatigue caused by the rush eased slightly.

The flow of people in Liuyu City is so large, and gradually some bad businesses have naturally emerged.

And the restaurant is full of people, which is the best place to choose prey.

Shen Jing, who was alone, was quickly targeted by one of the groups, and they were mixed with the guests from time to time to look at Shen Jing. It seems to be a young man from afar, although he is dressed as a Jianghu person, he doesn't look like a threat no matter how he looks at it, and listening to his instructions to his buddy, he is obviously a good money-maker.

Although the restaurant was noisy, those people quickly felt it when they looked at Shen Qing.

He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and in line with the principle that more is better than less, he planned to leave as soon as possible after eating.

Shen Guo did not have a clear destination yet, he wanted to go to Qiyun Mountain to see Zhu Huyue first, and then look for the traces of Master and Uncle Zhu if possible.

In between meals, three more guests came to the restaurant, two men and one woman, who looked like disciples of a certain sect who had traveled down the mountain.

The guy who led them in searched up and down but didn't find an empty table, and finally he saw that there was only one person in the corner, so he trotted over and apologized: "I'm sorry, there are too many customers in the store now, there are no vacant seats, if you don't mind, can you bring the three new guests to you, you guys." ”

Shen Kuang Wen Yan looked at the three people standing not far away: "It's okay, as long as they want to, you can bring it over." ”

After Shen finished speaking, the guy hurriedly thanked him.

After a while, the guy led the three of them to Shen Jing's side.

The three of them also knew that it was Shen Kuang's accommodation, so after coming over, one of the slightly older young male disciples hugged Shen Kuang's fists and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your accommodating." ”

When the other two heard this, they also bowed to Shen Jing.

Seeing this, Shen Guo got up and saluted back, and then said slowly: "It's just a meal together, Your Excellency doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

It's also because everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, they are naturally close, and they don't pay so much attention to it.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After the three of them sat down, they also asked the guy for a few dishes.

The person who spoke to Shen Jing was a little older, about twenty-four or five, and the other two were only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The two disciples, a man and a woman, seemed to be descending the mountain for the first time, so they kept looking back and forth.

Seeing this, the older senior brother had no choice but to apologize to Shen Qian: "In Xia Xiu, this is my junior brother Shi Changyu and junior sister Liang Wei. The younger brother and sister have a jumpy temperament, and it is the first time they have gone out to disturb the brother's stage. ”

After Xia Xiu reported to his home, Shen Jing looked at the two people beside him and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's inevitable that it's novel to go out for the first time, Brother Xia doesn't have to mind." My name is Jiang Su, and Brother Xia can just call me by my name. ”

Xia Xiu nodded when he heard this, Xindao was a fellow Taoist who was easy to speak.

When Shi Changyu and Liang Wei heard their senior brother talk about themselves, they sat down and stopped looking left and right. The two of them also glanced at the black-clothed young man beside him who looked very talkative, and he thought that he was a swordsman like them.

Listening to Shen Guo's voice, Xia Xiu felt that Shen Guo didn't look like a local, so he opened the topic and said, "Listening to Brother Jiang's accent, he shouldn't be a local either." ”

Shen Jing nodded and said, "I'm coming from the west, passing by Liuyu City to rest here. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xiu reminded: "Brother Jiang is here for the first time and is still alone, but you have to be careful of the local bandits and robbers in Liuyu City, their power here is not small, and they act in concealment, as long as the money does not hurt people, so many times the government is not easy to manage." ”

After all, he is a native of Nanliang, and he is more familiar with Shen Jing. got Shen Qian's accommodation, and Xia Xiu, who was honest and sincere, also reciprocated the favor and made it convenient for Shen Jing.

When Shen heard this, he thanked him with a smile, it seems that the bandits here have become famous.

After that, Shen Jing and Xia Xiu chatted separately, and Shi Changyu and Liang Wei on the side sat quietly waiting for the meal to be served since they were named by their senior brother.

After a while, the two signature dishes that Shen Kuang wanted and his wine bottle were brought up by the guy.

The four of them were already sitting at a table, so Shen Jing smiled and said, "Brother Xia, let's eat together." ”

Xia Xiu could see at a glance that the two dishes ordered by Shen Guo were more expensive than the four dishes they ordered, so he was a little embarrassed: "Brother Jiang, this..."

Shen Kuang hurriedly smiled when he heard this: "Brother Xia doesn't have to worry about not going, it is fate that everyone can eat at the same table, and two dishes are nothing." ”

After Shen Qian's remarks, Xia Xiu had no choice but to respond with a smile.

"Changyu, Wei'er, I haven't thanked Brother Jiang yet."

Shi Changyu and Liang Wei didn't interject from beginning to end, and the two of them did as they spoke, thanking Shen Jing.

Shen Guo smiled and waved his hand and said it was okay.

After talking in three or two sentences, Shen Jing could feel that Xia Xiu was a straightforward person with no fancy, which was also the reason why Shen Guo was willing to eat with them.

After walking the rivers and lakes for so long, it was the first time that Shen Guo had met such a straightforward person.

Xia Xiu's younger brothers and sisters are young, and they don't have any city government, so when they see their senior brother using chopsticks, they also use chopsticks.

After Xia Xiu's several dishes came up, Shen Guan instructed his men to serve two more hard dishes, and he didn't have any other ideas, he just felt that he was very happy to meet Xia Xiu and the three of them.

Xia Xiu and the three of them had a good impression of Shen Qian, but after coming and going, their impression of Shen Guo was a little better.

The little girl Liang Wei remembered her master's advice before leaving, the rivers and lakes are sinister, don't deal with people casually.

But the first person they met was good.
