Jinzhou City, east of Shaohai, west of Youjing.

The name of the city, in fact, is the harbor, also known as the port of Jinzhou, under the direct jurisdiction of the secluded capital city.

Shaohai is connected to Zhongzhou land on three sides is the inland sea, and the cities, capitals and counties around the Shaohai coast are connected by water veins and complement each other's advantages, industrial interconnection, trade interconnection, and the economy is quite prosperous and stable.

Among them, Jinzhou City is more important and superior because of its geographical location, and it is more affluent for the people to live, and it is extremely difficult to feel the subtle changes that have occurred in the entire Zhongzhou due to the shock of martial arts.

It is less than three days before the Qingming Festival, and the spring day in Jinzhou City is late.

With the warm sun spreading on the bluestone street, the shops in the streets and alleys are all open to welcome customers, all kinds of stalls for eating, wearing, and playing are placed in front of the doors of the houses, and the city of Jinzhou is crowded early in the morning, and it is very lively.

If you want to discuss which shop and which stall has the greatest influence, it is naturally the most famous local bun shop, the so-called "wild animals in the mountains, geese in the clouds, cattle and sheep in the hinterland, fresh at the bottom of the sea, not as good as dogs." ”

The fragrance of steamed buns rises without wind, moves with the flow of people, and easily walks the streets and alleys, fragrant in all directions.

A burly middle-aged man squeezed out of the overcrowded bun shop slightly awkwardly, carrying an uneaten bag of buns in his left hand, looking around as if looking for someone.

When he finally saw the small pink figure, he smiled lovingly and walked up.

The middle-aged man has a dark complexion, the years are ruthless but he has not been able to carve much wind and frost on his face, and the round eyes under the thick eyebrows are not the slightest bit dirty and insightful of the world, but the unkempt hair, disordered beard, and tall and thick body make it particularly eye-catching when walking in the crowd.

Dressed in a brown cloth shirt, his bare arms were very casually, and his back was long and wide from behind, like a city wall that had not been corrupted for hundreds of years, and there was a straight and unbreakable backbone between his waist and back.

It's just that no matter from the front or the back, the overall image of the middle-aged man is still a little weird.

His left arm is as thick as an elephant's leg, and his entire right hand, from the arm to the palm, is even thinner than the calf of a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

Even so, every step taken by the middle-aged man was particularly smooth, his shoulders were always the same height, and his back was difficult to bend even if the sky fell.

Just like 20 years ago, when Zhongzhou was in flames, 500,000 elite soldiers in Lingnan City, which was guarding the southern border of Zhongzhou, were urgently dispatched and dispatched 490,000 troops to aid the southeast and central part of Zhongzhou in two ways, leaving only 10,000 elite one-faced tigers and wolves to serve them.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, the two states of Poison Zhu and Luo Yue, who were originally sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, quickly mobilized 100,000 strong troops to attack Lingnan City.

In the south of Zhongzhou, three points are near the sea, seven points are connected with Poison Zhu and Luo Yue, although there are mountains that are continuous as natural barriers, but there is a gap to invade the Central Plains.

Lingnan City starts from the only pass of the Lingnan Mountain Range, and guards the south gate of the entire Zhongzhou.

If the Lingnan city is broken, Luo Yue will definitely send troops to drive straight into the hinterland of Zhongzhou, and it is very likely to converge with the Wara army deep in the north of Zhongzhou, cut the battlefield, so that Zhongzhou and the east and west can not take care of each other, and then the war in Zhongzhou will continue for many years It is not known, at least most of the western part of Zhongzhou will be divided by three wolf-like neighbors, and it is difficult for a big country to survive.

However, it was the 10,000 defenders of Lingnan City, as if they were using their own backs to build a higher and more upright city wall on Lingnan City, and 100,000 enemy soldiers attacked the city for two months without success and lost 60,000 of them, and finally retreated in disgrace.

The victory of the Lingnan Defense Battle enabled Zhongzhou to avoid falling into the dangerous situation of losing on three sides and being attacked on its back, and it was of great and far-reaching significance to fight against foreign invaders in the entire Zhongzhou.

As the commander of the defenders of Lingnan City at that time, he was fearless, commanded, swift, and brave, and it is said that when he fought with the enemy, sixty percent of the flesh and skin of his right arm were cut off and he still fought selflessly, which was undoubtedly the most difficult city wall on Lingnan City, the most difficult to bend the spine, and the most indispensable.

That commander is as famous as Shi Xin, the general of the southwest town, and is known as the five tiger generals who protect the country, and is the general of Zhennan in the past - Niu Kelian.

is also a middle-aged man who is now walking on the streets of Jinzhou City, which is really difficult to ignore.

Time has passed, and the former majestic and majestic general has become a porter on the dock who has been exposed to the wind and rain all day long, and in this long-term rich and peaceful harbor city, not many people will even think of the war-torn past in various parts of Zhongzhou twenty years ago, let alone bow down to a former general, even though it was this general who did not hesitate to use his own flesh and blood to protect their potentially shattered homeland.

Since coming to this city, it has been difficult for 100,000 soldiers to shake half a minute under the city, and it is difficult to crush the bent backbone when the sky falls, I don't know how many times it has been bent, sometimes for life, more often because of that girl.

The girl also had big, round eyes, and a sparkling water, but other than that, she didn't have thick eyebrows, a wide nose, or thick ears, but was as small and delicate as a porcelain doll, and only a little like Niu Kelian.

The little girl is wearing a peach-pink floral dress, with two ponytails on her head and a small pink flower on her temples, like a little peach blossom elf, extremely cute.

She stopped in front of a stone pond on the side of the road, not waiting for Niu Kelian who didn't follow.

She was watching dozens of small goldfish swimming peacefully in the stone pool.

The little girl's hand rubbed against the corner of her skirt, and she did not look closer, for she had no silver taels.

She is not short of silver taels, but wearing a floral skirt and carrying silver taels is not only not good-looking but also diaphragm, and it will be heavy with silver taels in her pocket, and she doesn't like that feeling, not to mention going out with that person, she doesn't need to bring silver taels.

So she had to wait for Niu Kelian to catch up.

However, she waited very long, or at least did not.

Because when she thought of waiting for someone, Niu Kelian had already appeared beside her, handed a sufficient amount of copper plates to the young vendor who had set up a goldfish fishing game by the stone pond, took the thin wooden stick tied to a thin net the size of a tea cup, bent down, squatted down, and scooped up the fish.

Seeing this scene, the little girl showed joy between her eyebrows and eyes, and leaned in.

Niu Kelian is fishing for goldfish with his right hand.

He felt that although his left hand was strong, he had done too much rough work, and he was not flexible enough, and his right hand should be enough for this little thing.

It's just that he struggles to even carry a bag of buns in his right hand, even if he pays attention to clever words when catching goldfish, he is also quick to see and move.

Niu Kelian's big eyes had already seen through the movements of several goldfish in the stone pond, if he was allowed to catch them with his left hand, he would definitely have more fish in one hand, but this obviously broke the rules, he could only use a small net to catch them honestly, and his right hand obviously couldn't keep up with his intentions.

The stone pond was no longer peaceful, the water splashed slightly, and the goldfish easily avoided the net that looked like a snail crawling slowly in the east of the pool, and wagged their tails wantonly in mockery.

Niu Kelian didn't look to the side, and knew that the little girl's cheeks were slowly bulging, and hurriedly put the bag of buns in his left hand behind his feet, took over the small wooden stick, and took over the heavy responsibility.

His left hand, which is as thick as an elephant's leg, can easily lift heavy objects that can be carried by other two hands on the dock, which is all the financial resources and livelihood of him and the little girl.

But that alone is still not enough to catch fish.

The small wooden stick is just a thin toothpick in Niu Kelian's left hand, and no matter how powerful the elephant's legs are, it is difficult to pick teeth with a toothpick.

Not only did the stone pond splash, but there were also waves!

Dozens of goldfish scurried in panic, as if this was the roar of the sea god they had seen in their lives!

Seeing this, the other players had long since ceased to participate, stood aside and smiled.

The young trader was not annoyed by Niu Kelian for disturbing the business, but smirked at the silver that Niu Kelian had just thrown in his hand.

The little girl left in a huff.

Niu Kelian didn't chase it immediately, and was still extremely focused on fishing.

His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and there were many droplets of water hanging between his hair and beard, I don't know whether it was sweat or the splashing water in the stone pool.

The height of the pond was churned and lowered by a finger, Niu Kelian didn't notice it, he had fished in the stone pool with his left hand more than fifty times, and gradually found his rhythm.

So, in a blink of an eye, three little goldfish, one black, one red and one white, were covered by his small net and fished out.

The young trader didn't care about Niu Kelian continuing to fish, because the silver taels given by Niu Kelian were enough to buy this pool of goldfish, but Niu Kelian was not greedy, so he only asked the young trader for a transparent small goldfish tank filled with three fish, and did not forget to ask for some special goldfish feed made by the young trader, so he got up and chased the little girl.

......

......

Jinzhou Castle is mainly divided into two cities, east and west.

The eastern part of the city is adjacent to the harbour and is more noisy, with small and densely populated houses inhabited by people living in poverty.

The further west it is, the more peaceful and quiet, the whole Xicheng street is wide, the courtyard is open, and it is a safe place for large families.

Although Niu Kelian and the little girl live in Dongcheng, it is only two streets away from Xicheng, and the living conditions in Dongcheng are extremely good, at least for the two of them, the house is not only complete, but also big enough.

As early as before the little girl walked back to the door, she was caught up by Niu Kelian.

After that, the little girl held the little goldfish bowl and teased the three little goldfish without saying a word, and followed Niu Kelian back home without raising her eyes.

Niu Kelian didn't disturb the little girl's interest, he could feel the joy of the little girl from the bottom of his heart.

He asked for a full day off with the foreman today, which was specifically for the little girl's birthday, the little girl was happy, he was naturally very happy, and his face was always full of happy smiles, as if this life was to live to guard this little happiness.

But when he pushed open the door, the smile on his face involuntarily froze.

Because there's a guest coming!

The door is not open, and the guests are already inside, so it is uninvited.

There were three uninvited guests.
