The northern and northwest parts of Chenzhou are bordered by the land of the Liangren, and a small part of the west is bordered by the Fanren.

With the decline of the national strength of the Xu State in recent years, Chenzhou's border defense is really not very strong.

The only fortunate thing is that the cool people in the north have been in civil strife for the past few years, and they are flawless in the south.

There were also constant tribal wars between the Fan people in the west, and only some defeated tribes fled to Chenzhou for their lives.

In the middle of winter in October, it has snowed a lot in Chenzhou, and in a tavern in the south, a group of men from all over the world are gathering, eating wine and food.

The food and wine in the tavern are very average, and the only advantage is that it is sufficient, but this alone makes it the most famous tavern in ten miles and eight towns.

There was a lot of snow and wind outside, and the guests liked to have some warm shochu.

A group of people were eating, the closed door of the shop was pushed open again, a gust of cold wind flew into the house with a little snowflakes, and a blind man in tattered clothes and holding a bamboo stick appeared at the door.

The blind man and the donkey went into the tavern together.

Xiao Er in the store saw that it was a beggar-like person, and wanted to drive people away, but when he saw that there was a donkey beside this person, he was not sure if it was really a beggar, so he stepped forward and stopped in front of the blind man.

"Hey, blind man, the rule here is to pay first, then eat and drink."

I thought that as long as the other party couldn't come up with the money, I could take the opportunity to drive away Xiao Er, but I saw that the person in front of me took out a broken silver from a money bag with obvious patches on his waist.

Generally speaking, most of the people in Xu used copper coins, such as silver directly, except for those luxurious places, and only larger transactions would be used.

In such a remote country, it is rare to see people using silver.

Xiao Er's face instantly became flattering and respectful:

"Master, what do you want, the small one will be given to you."

The blind man laughed and said, "A roast chicken, a jar of wine, and feed my donkey." ”

Xiao Er agreed with a smile on his face, and went down to prepare.

The blind man did not use the bamboo stick in his hand to explore the way, and went straight to an empty seat, which made people wonder if he was blind or not.

The other diners around him also looked at the blind man, consciously or unconsciously, to be precise, at the patched money bag that swelled around the blind man's waist.

It seems that there are dozens of taels of silver, to say the least.

A table of sturdy-looking guests glanced at each other, and one of them, with a fierce face, touched the saber at his waist.

Several others also reached for their respective weapons.

The eldest brother at the head was a one-eyed dragon, blind in one eye, covered with a simple blindfold, shook his head slightly at the brothers, got up, took a bowl of wine, walked in front of the blind man, sat down with a swagger, put the wine bowl in his hand on the table "bang", and the wine spilled on the table.

"This brother, on which road?"

The one-eyed dragon asked politely.

"A fortune teller."

The blind man said, taking down the bowl of wine that the one-eyed dragon had placed on the table.

"Fortune telling? Why don't you give me a hexagram too? ”

The one-eyed dragon put one hand on the table,

"I want to see palmistry."

The blind man smiled and reached out to touch the cyclops dragon's hand.

But the one-eyed dragon withdrew his hand, stared at the blind man, and said:

"I'm talking about palmistry, not palmistry."

"Your palmistry isn't pretty, but it's not a lot of life."

The blind man put the empty bowl on the table, took off the gourd from his loins, and poured wine into it.

The one-eyed dragon reached out and grabbed the blind man's wrist to stop him from pouring wine.

But this time, the blind man grabbed his wrist and pressed his palm on the table.

The one-eyed dragon was startled, and his hand was forced, trying to pull out the hand that was being suppressed.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was useless, but the blind man leisurely poured the wine in the gourd into the wine bowl.

The other people who had been paying attention to this side saw that the one-eyed dragon seemed to have been hit, and without hesitation, they drew their swords one after another, surrounding the blind man in the middle.

The blind man had no fear of this, and took the wine bowl and tasted it himself.

The one-eyed dragon's hand was still pressed to the table, and the brother on the side was about to use his knife to cut the blind man.

At the critical moment, the one-eyed dragon shouted:

"Stop, stop!"

After signaling the brothers to stand back, the one-eyed dragon looked at the hand that was pressed and could not break free, and his tone softened a lot:

"I didn't intend to offend the master this time, please forgive me."

The blind man chuckled at the corner of his mouth and let go of the hand holding the cyclops.

Withdrawing his hand, the one-eyed dragon asked respectfully:

"Master, just now you said that I don't have many lives, how do you explain it?"

"It's literal."

The blind man said casually.

At this time, Xiao Er arrived from the back kitchen with roast chicken and a jar of wine and placed them in front of the blind man.

The blind man sniffed, nodded, snapped his fingers, and a beautiful and dexterous cat jumped from the roof and landed on the table.

The one-eyed dragon saw that this person and a cat had eaten roast chicken, and he didn't dare to disturb, although he doubted what the other party said, but when he realized that he couldn't afford to provoke the other party, he didn't dare to ask anything.

Just as he was about to return to his group's table, a small child wrapped in an adult's coarse cotton coat rushed through the door, with a dirty face and disheveled hair, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Because he rushed too fast, he collided directly with the one-eyed dragon.

The child was short and slammed into the one-eyed dragon's waist, holding a wooden stick in his hand, somewhere between the one-eyed dragon's legs.

Such a man, caught off guard for a while, was hit by a wooden stick in his crotch, screamed, and squatted on the ground with his hands between his legs.

The child was also knocked down, and the wooden stick in the hand of the fallen child was gone, and he rushed past the one-eyed dragon and rushed to the second floor of the tavern, where he was nowhere to be seen.

The brothers of the one-eyed dragon were startled when they saw that he had been hit by the child, and they hurried forward to inquire, and another of them drew their knives and threatened to kill the child.

At this moment, the child pushed open the door of the tavern, and another group of people appeared.

This group of seven men and two women are all dressed very thickly, keeping warm well, and the weapons on their bodies are also made of fine iron.

When the diners in the restaurant saw this group of people, they were all shocked, and they didn't know what the origin of these people was.

However, one of the people outside saw the one-eyed dragon squatting on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"One-eyed scorpion!?"

When others heard the title of "one-eyed scorpion", they were also surprised.

The next moment, I saw these people unsheathed and rushed directly towards the "one-eyed scorpion" and others.

The "one-eyed scorpion" group, the number is not superior, plus the weapons and martial arts are also at a disadvantage, in the face of this group of people who don't know the roots, although they fight back, it is useless.

After a while, he was killed in the store.

The tables, chairs and benches in the store were quite a few broken.

The "one-eyed scorpion", who was injured to the core, was no match for this group of people, and was finally kicked by the man who seemed to be the leader of the other party and fell to the blind man's table, and was pierced through the chest by a sword.

At the last moment, the "one-eyed scorpion" struggled and glanced at the blind man with his only remaining eye.

It turned out that he was right, and he really didn't have much to do......

After killing the one-eyed scorpion, the man pulled out his sword, and blood was still gushing out of the one-eyed scorpion's chest.

As for the battle between this group and the one-eyed scorpion, the blind man remained unmoved, and continued to eat roast chicken.

Even when the one-eyed scorpion died in front of him, there was no wave.

Even the beautiful cat didn't take a second look at the bloody scene around her.

The man at the head saw that the "one-eyed scorpion" and the others had been killed, so he said to the blind man:

"This brother Tai, Fang has offended a lot, but this 'one-eyed scorpion' is notorious, if you let it go, I am afraid that there will be endless harm, and there will be a place to disturb Brother Tai, please Haihan."

The blind man waved his hand and said:

"I'm blind, I can't see anything, there's nothing to disturb."

When the man saw that this blind man could face the situation without changing his face, he guessed that this should be a master, and when he saw that the other party didn't seem to care about anything, he immediately had the idea of making friends.

At this time, Xiao Er walked out of the back kitchen, and after seeing the corpses and blood all over the store, as well as the other customers who had run away, he smiled and said:

"You have broken a lot of tables and chairs in the shop, and killed people, it's really unlucky, if you have to dispose of the corpse in the shop, it will take a lot of effort, I don't know how you plan to compensate?"

Before the man at the head could speak, the only woman in the group spoke, a young girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and was very angry when she heard Xiao Er's words asking for compensation:

"You little two are so eyeless, we killed all the notorious villains on the rivers and lakes, and we are doing harm for the people!"

Xiao Er shook his head and smiled:

"These are your affairs on the rivers and lakes, the small shop can't take care of it, but they are here, that is the guests of the small shop, you killed people, the small shop is soft-spoken, and he doesn't say anything, but the compensation is indispensable, otherwise I can't explain it when the shopkeeper asks."

The girl wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the man in charge:

"Little sister, that's enough."

As he spoke, he threw Xiao Er a silver ingot.

Xiao Er took the silver steadily, and immediately smiled:

"How many masters, how many, do you want to have some wine and food and take a break?"

The man at the head asked:

"A kid ran in earlier, and you saw it?"

When Xiao Er heard this, he smiled and said:

"I'm afraid this needs to be found by the guest officer, and the small shop is not involved in this matter on the rivers and lakes."

When the man in the lead heard this, he glanced at the others.

When they saw this, they scattered and searched the tavern.

Xiao Er was not surprised, collected the money, and skillfully picked up the corpses of the "one-eyed scorpion" and others, as well as the bloodstains all over the ground.

After the leader saw Xiao Er's inconspicuous martial arts, his pupils shrank, but he didn't show the appearance of facing a great enemy.

In this world, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger do not know how many, he has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and never dared to underestimate anyone, so he is willing to lose money.

Of course, his first target now is not Xiao Er, but a blind man who has already eaten a roast chicken.

Coming to the blind man, the man at the head hugged his fists and said:

"In the lower Quanzong Zhuang Jinghao, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"

"Fortune teller blind Yang Luming."

Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, Jing Hao felt that this was a person who could be friends, and took the initiative to talk.

Through talking, the blind man learned that their group of people were all people from the famous force "Quan Zongzhuang" on the rivers and lakes.

"Quan Zongzhuang" was not in Chenzhou, as for the purpose of their coming to Chenzhou, it was not revealed, and the blind man did not ask.

The conversation between the two sides was quite harmonious, Jing Hao seemed to like cats a little, and when he saw the beautiful cat next to the blind man, he glanced at it from time to time.

It's just that in the end, the old rivers and lakes still restrained the emotions of loving cats.

At this time, there was a smashing sound on the second floor, and a person from Quan Zongzhuang seemed to have been bitten by someone and screamed.

After another loud sound, a man with an angry face came down carrying a child whose hands and feet were tied.

She was followed by the girl who was previously called "Little Sister" by Jing Hao, and the girl was holding two money bags in her hands, one of which belonged to the dead "one-eyed scorpion".

"Big brother, this little kid has really unclean hands and feet, not only stealing our money, but also going into a tavern, even stealing the money of the 'one-eyed scorpion', he was caught just now, and he dared to bite Xuan Viagra, he must be taught a hard lesson!"

The maiden was very angry with the child,

"If you don't learn well at a young age, see how I clean you up in a while!"

Jing Hao saw that the child was caught, and said:

"Just get the money back, if you are a person, find a more reliable person to sell it and give him a way to live."
