Qingyang City is located in the northwest of Yan Kingdom, and the two cities of Heishui and Shunyi are stationed on the border in a horn situation, facing Wei State in the west, and looking at Qi State in the north across the sea.

Although the population does not reach the standard of a million-level 'big city', due to its economic prosperity, its comprehensive strength has long been included in the list of big cities.

In particular, in recent years, the neighboring Wei civil war, the city received a large number of refugees, in the arms and horses export trade to make a windfall, at the end of last year the population of the city alone approached 900,000, for the imperial court to contribute more taxes and silver than some big cities.

In Qingyang City, there are countless large and small families, giants and small merchants.

The rich courtyards are mainly distributed in the eastern district where the city lord's mansion is located, while the martial arts families mostly live in the southern district where the scattered cultivators are located.

In addition to the monks, the three major mortal forces are the head, the Caoyun Gang, the Ten Thousand Hall, and the Qingyang Martial Alliance.

Most of the 'Weihe' port wharves, official salt, private salt, war horse aquatic products, Caoyun transportation, silk foreign trade, etc., are in their hands.

There are many categories involved in the 10,000-person hall, such as gangs of all sizes inside and outside the city, slave trade, gambling houses, green buildings, and so on.

The Qingyang Martial Alliance is a martial arts family including the Xue family, with many martial arts halls and dart bureaus, and its disciples are often sent to the army, and there is also an arsenal under it.

The tripartite relationship is complex, and competition and cooperation can be changed at any time.

Of course, there is also a big hand of checks and balances behind these three - the City Lord's Mansion.

To be precise, it's Qin Ben!

Qin Ben never acted according to the rules, and because of this, Qingyang City has developed rapidly from a small city to its current scale, and it will definitely be among the big cities of Yan Kingdom within three or five years.

As for the monks, they are much more low-key.

Even if they settle in Fancheng, many scattered cultivators still have some illusions about building a foundation for immortality.

Therefore, even if Yang Yanqing and Li Henian are determined to establish a clan, they involve very few mundane industries, and they put most of their minds on cultivation.

Half an hour ago.

Xue Peng, a well-known young man in the city, shook a folding fan and walked through the streets and alleys with his entourage.

Everywhere I passed, passers-by and vendors greeted each other with low eyebrows and smiles, for fear of angering each other.

Especially the beautiful woman, like seeing the plague god, the close trembling and bowing her head, and the one who is far away will definitely pull out her legs and leave.

In fact, there are many women who want to climb high branches, but Xue Peng's notoriety is far and wide, and Qingyang City knows about it, and the women he likes have no good end without exception, and they are abandoned after playing.

"Phew~"

Xue Peng took a bite of the jujube from the roadside stall, discarded it casually, and waved his hand: "Smash it for Ben Shao!" ”

The old man of the vendor immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said with a smile: "Peng Shao, is there something wrong with this jujube?" ”

Xue Peng squinted.

The dog-legged guy immediately scolded: "Bold! Peng Shao felt that the skin of the jujube was bitter, and he must have applied medicine, but the people who live in this southern area are all noble bodies, and if you eat a bad stomach, your ten heads are not enough to cut off! ”

The vendor was obviously deeply persecuted, and with experience, he hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, the little one knows the severity, and please Peng Shaomingjian, our family has never used medicine for this jujube, and I will send some fresh ones to the house for the old ladies to taste, if you eat a bad stomach, the old man will apologize for his death!" ”

Like this kind of fruits and vegetables that retail investors sell at nothing, how can the people in the village have the money to buy expensive medicine and fertilize to help it.

There are many reasons to find trouble.

Little guy: "Don't remember the small green dates!" ”

"Yes, yes! Peng Shao walks slowly! ”

The old man looked away, shook his head and sighed.

A group of people wandered through Yuelai Restaurant, Xue Peng's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "Who is the little lady, born so beautiful and tasteful!" ”

But it was the winter grass that came to the store to check the accounts, and it happened to be meal time, so he and the maid were ready to eat here.

The dog-legged guy glanced at it and said with a smile: "Looking at Miansheng, which concubine should this costume be." ”

Immediately afterwards, he reminded: "But this restaurant is the property of the Li Mansion, Peng Shao is still more cautious." ”

Xue Peng raised his eyebrows: "Li Mansion? Which Lee House? ”

Hearing the explanation, Xue Peng sneered, "I wasn't afraid of my Xue Mansion when Li Henian was here, not to mention that he is not here now, hehe~ I'm afraid that I will die in Mangdang Mountain and won't be able to come back!" ”

Suddenly remembering something, he turned his head with lewd eyes and asked: "Did the Li Mansion marry a two-room concubine before, and it is estimated that he didn't have time to open the melon, so Li Henian left?" ”

"Seems to be."

"Let's go!"

Smack~ Xue Peng folded his fan and led a group of entourages and thugs to stride towards the restaurant.

In the restaurant, which was originally lively and laughing, the sound was suddenly extinguished, and the movements slowed down one by one, and they lowered their heads to eat and drink quietly.

Xue Peng went straight to the table where Dongcao was, looked down and asked with a smile: "What is the surname of the little lady?" ”

Chi Guoguo's glance saw that Dongcao was uncomfortable, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she stood up, leaned over and said with a smile: "Slave Zhong Dong, I have seen Xue Gongzi, if you need to eat at this table, let Yu Gongzi." ”

After saying that, he turned around again to retreat.

As a result, Xue Peng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dongcao's arm and pulled it into his arms, "Little lady, don't go, have a drink with Ben Shao!" ”

"Yikes!" Winter grass was taken aback.

"Presumptuous!" The little maid Xiaoqing put aside the salty pig's hand and protected it in front of her master, she was young and not tall, but she was not afraid.

After Dongcao calmed down, he hurriedly pulled Xiaoqing behind him and said with a smile: "The subordinate is not sensible, and I hope that Xue Gongzi will not be surprised, the son will invite him, and the slave family will have a toast." ”

At the same time, the dog-legged guy also stepped forward and whispered quickly in Xue Peng's ear: "There is only one Zhong Mansion in the Southern District, and the master's family is a fourth-layer Qi refining monk, and he is still a talisman master, and he is good friends with many monks in the city, or forget it, the small one will find a better ...... for you."

Xue Peng glared at him, turned to a smile, folded the fan, waved his hand and said: "Ben Shao is not as knowledgeable as his subordinates, the shopkeeper has the best wine and food!" ”

Dongcao walked to the counter by himself, took a glass of wine, returned and poured two glasses, raised his glass and solemnly said: "To Xue Gongzi!" ”

Xue Peng was very satisfied, took it and drank it all, and opened his mouth with insulting words: "The little lady is really beautiful, such a bewitching posture is more powerful than the Qinglou woman, this son is ****** haha!" ”

A silver laugh, but in full view of everyone, he stretched out his hand to the towering taboo place.

It's really arrogant and domineering, and he has no scruples about being bold.

Dongcao calmly retreated, his face became serious, "Wanggongzi is self-respecting, my master is Zhongfu Zhongyan!" ”

Li Henian was not afraid, not to mention Zhong Yan, who was at the fourth level of qi refining, Xue Peng's face was cold, "You just don't give Ben less face?!" A little concubine, your lord didn't dare to protect you when he came, if he didn't accompany Ben Shao today, he would sell you to the kiln! ”

"Someone!"

Xue Peng waved his hand.

However, after only half of the swing, he let out a miserable scream: "Ah~"

But it was Xiaoqing who went to the second floor to call down Yan Sandao, who came with him, and directly twisted his wrist, with a crisp click.

"Slut...... You ......"

Bang!

Yan Sandao raised a kick, kicked people away with his yin legs, knocked down a group of followers and smashed them into the street outside the restaurant, making Xue Peng's eyes roll and open his mouth to be unconscious, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

It's just a blink of an eye.

"Second sister, slow down!" Dongcao's face changed drastically, but he couldn't stop it in time.

The concubines of the Zhong Mansion rarely go out, so they are close to the Li Mansion.

However, Dongcao is in charge of the business accounts of the family, but he has a detailed understanding of the forces in the city and knows the details of the Xue Mansion.

This move, big trouble.

"Peng Shao!"

After the shock, the dog-legged little guy's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly rushed over to probe the master's snort, and let out a series of urgent drinks:

"Don't move! You fucking want to shake the young master to death, go and ask the doctor to come! ”

"You go to the martial arts hall to call someone!

"You go and inform the second young master and find a way to contact the master!"

"The rest will fence off this restaurant, and don't let any of them go!"

This guy is well arranged.

In the store, Dongcao pulled Yan Sandao, his face was pale, and his voice trembled, "How is this good?" Second sister, you don't know, this person is from the Xue Mansion......"

After listening to the introduction, Yan Sandao, who was covered with frost, couldn't help frowning.
