The high-level leaders of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce want to develop in a low-key manner, but the positive people are used to being arrogant, but they may not act according to their intentions. The vulture has always been flamboyant, and never knows what low-key is. There are two largest martial arts forces in Wuchang City, one is called Thirteen Eagles, and the other is called Eighteen Arhats, all of whom are brave and ruthless young people who form a gang.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head of the earth, and no foreign force should easily provoke the local tyrant. Nangong Yunfei guarded Nangong Beiye, and he never clashed with these two forces. The vultures don't know the severity, they think they have it, and they don't take these local tyrants seriously.

The vulture runs three restaurants, but the three together are not as good as the Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane Restaurant is the property of the Thirteen Eagles, and the vulture doesn't want to make friends, so he thinks about taking it, and it was really taken away by him and the five elders of the barberry.

Thirteen Eagles wanted to report this matter to the Xiaoyao Valley Martial Arts Alliance and let the alliance come forward to help them solve it, but they knew that the purpose of the alliance was to deal with the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, and it was not good to interfere with the big plan because of this trivial matter, but they didn't know that it was the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce that they were facing.

Sima Xiangyun searched for his niece again to no avail, and returned to Wuchang. It is the peach ripening season, and there is a peach orchard on Parrot Island, which should be full of fresh fruits. Nangong Yunfei invited Sima Xiangyun, and the husband and wife took their child Nangong Jie and went straight to Parrot Island to buy fresh peaches on the tree in the peach orchard.

After a family of three finished eating fresh peaches, they saw countless people in the upper reaches of the Yellow Crane Tower across the water, rubbing shoulders one after another, bustling, and couldn't help but move the excitement, and also joined in the excitement on the Yellow Crane Tower.

This Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms Dongwu Huangwu period, on the snake mountain Huanghu Rock, Xuan Ang magnificent, brilliant magnificent, floors are continuous, ethereal, almost doubtful as the fairy palace of the gods.

The name of the Yellow Crane Tower, there have been many myths attached to the association. Some say that Prince An rode the crane through this, and some say that Fei Wenwei drove the crane back here to rest. The most miraculous saying is that Xin's building said: Xin's sells wine here, there is a priest who often comes to drink, but Xin does not charge wine money, and the Taoist priest draws a yellow crane on the wall with orange peel when he leaves: "The wine guest claps his hands, and the crane flies down." From then on, there were drinkers who came to life, clapped their hands and painted cranes, jumped off the wall and danced, and jumped back to the wall after the dance, still painting cranes. With this magic, it can especially attract drinkers, and Xin's is very rich. After ten years, the Taoist priest came again, took the flute and played, the yellow crane went down the wall, and the Taoist priest crossed the crane and went straight to the clouds. So Xin built this building.

Climb the floor and look at it, the river is vast, and the sky is crossing. And the snake mountain at the foot is the first mountain in Ezhou, it is meandering, the shape is like a snake, the title is a big river, the tail is connected to the east city, and there are dozens of temples and palaces outside the Yellow Crane Tower, and the pavilions and pavilions are scattered on it, it is magnificent.

This snake mountain is also known as Yellow Crane Mountain, and the Turtle Mountain in Hanyang on the other side is also known as Yiji Mountain. During the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern Wu built Xiakou City in Snake Mountain, built Jiangxia City in Guishan, each dynasty has added to build, and the places of interest and historic sites are concentrated, which is today's Wuchang and Hankou. The turtle mountain is in front of the big river, the north is with the Han River, it is mighty and majestic, the shape is like a giant turtle, the snake mountain and it are towering across the river, the situation is very precipitous, it has always been the important place for the soldiers to attack and defend.

There is a sandbar in the middle of the river, which is a nameless continent, because the peerless troll who once scolded Cao naked during the Three Kingdoms was called Heng and made "Parrot Fu" on the continent, and it has been called Parrot Island since then, which is where the Nangong family ate peaches just now.

Nangong Yunfei and Sima Xiangyun were watching with their son with great interest, and suddenly a third-hand guest took advantage of the chaos and touched the money bag of a tourist. The tourists exclaimed, and the third-handed passenger flew to the bottom of the Yellow Crane Tower.

At this time, a young man in white among the tourists came out, holding a folding fan, turning over in the air very chicly, floating downstairs, and the folding fan was spread, blocking the way of the little pickpocket.

The pickpocket scurried from side to side, trying to escape, and the young man in white volleyed in front of him. The pickpocket was helpless and obediently handed over the money bag.

The young man in white raised his head and shouted at the tourist who had lost the money bag, "Friend, catch it!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the money bag leisurely crossed the floor and fell straight into the arms of the tourist impartially.

"Is it missing?" he asked the visitor again.

"Nothing wrong. The tourist agreed, and at the end he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, knight!" The young man in white let go of the thief and disappeared into the crowd.

Nangong Yunfei was a little puzzled, and asked the tourist: "People have helped you, and it will be over without saying a few polite words?"

The tourist said, "This guest officer is from out of town, right? Snake Mountain Thirteen Eagle doesn't like others to be too polite." ”

Nangong Yunfei has lived in Wuchang for a long time, so naturally he has heard about the Thirteen Eagles of Snake Mountain, but he has never dealt with it. I couldn't help but say to the tourist again: "That young knight just now is the character of the Thirteen Eagles?"

The tourist said: "Exactly, it is the bear Shaoxia who likes to fight unevenly among the thirteen." ”

Nangong Yunfei still had to ask again, Sima Xiangyun pulled Nangong Yunfei's sleeve and said, "Don't ask, it must be the chasing mouse eagle Xiong Tailai, let's get to know each other again if you have a chance." ”

Nangong Yunfei smiled dumbly, thinking that he was really as good as his name, even petty theft, and he really looked like a mouse eagle.

By noon, Nangong Yunfei and the others had already swam around the Yellow Crane Tower, and they had nothing to do, so they had lunch at the Yellow Crane Restaurant.

The restaurant is very spacious, with dozens of seats lined up. On the front wall, there is a picture of Danqing, painting "Lu Xian Riding a Crane", white clouds and yellow cranes, with a fairy look, giving people a sense of chic dust. Half of the seat head was still empty, Nangong Jie found a seat near the window and sat down, coincidentally, next to them was the white-clothed young man Xiong Tailai at the head of the Yellow Crane Tower.

Because of the scene on the Yellow Crane Tower, Nangong Yunfei felt cordial when he saw him. Xiong Tailai saw Nangong Yunfei looking at him, and nodded politely. So Nangong Yunfei greeted him and said, "How about a drink together?"

Xiong Tailai walked over, clenched his fists and said, "Disturb!" and sat down unceremoniously.

The children of the rivers and lakes have the heroic spirit of the children of the rivers and lakes, free and easy, and affectionate. Xiong Tailai sat down generously on Nangong Yunfei's side, and when he saw it, the conversation was also very speculative.

Wuchang underworld heroes, the first to recommend the Snake Mountain Thirteen Eagles. In order to protect himself in the cruel and ruthless underworld, thirteen good hands made an alliance with blood, formed a party, and specialized in operating casinos and restaurants to make a living. This Yellow Crane Restaurant turned out to be a wharf for Xiong Tailai, which was taken away by a vulture not long ago. Don't look at his age, in terms of ability, he ranks third among the thirteen eagles, except for the golden eagle Hao Bonian and the silver eagle Xiang Tianxi, the third good hand is that he chases the mouse eagle Xiong Tai.

Xiong Tailai chatted and chatted, and suddenly saw Nangong Yunfei leaning against the wall of the three-pointed gun, and looked at Nangong Yunfei intently, and said slowly: "I really don't know Taishan in the next place, why do I look at it more and more I feel that Your Excellency is the iron spearman who made an appointment with a smoke-wave angler in the Yellow Crane Tower more than a year ago?"

After speaking, he got up and left his seat and gave a big salute again, but was supported by Nangong Yunfei: "It's free, what kind of iron spearman? ”

Re-seated, Xiong Tai said: "I heard that the Iron Spearman has been to Xiaoyao Valley and expressed his support for the leader of the Ma Alliance in front of the world's martial arts. With this bearing alone, he should be a hero. ”

"I see that your skills are not weak, you are young, why didn't you participate in the top 100 rookies selection of the Martial Arts Alliance?" Nangong Yunfei asked Xiong Tailai.

Xiong Tailai sighed leisurely and said slowly: "The Iron Spearman doesn't know, our Thirteen Eagles can be said to be rampant in Wuchang, except for the Eighteen Arhats in the Tomb Mountain, no one dares to dispute with us. But not long ago, a group of ruthless people suddenly appeared, called Xinghong Chamber of Commerce. As soon as they came, all our inheritance and that of the eighteen Arhats were occupied. This Yellow Crane Restaurant was taken away from me by a man named Vulture. ”

"Vulture, how does this name feel familiar?" Nangong Yunfei struggled to remember where he had heard this name.

Sima Xiangyun lightly punched him and said, "Have you forgotten, didn't Ma Yucheng throw the watermelon from the beginning of the vulture's big killing array in Death Valley?"

Nangong Yunfei suddenly woke up: "Yes, it's what a vulture of Yunshan Mountain." ”

Sima Xiangyun said: "The siege of Xia Huaiyuan that time was a famous hall of commerce in Pingnan. Could this vulture be someone from the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce?"

Nangong Yunfei said indignantly: "I think there is a chance that there will be nine times out of ten. Nangong Beiye is in Wuchang City, and the newly established Martial Arts Alliance is outside Wuchang City, except for the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, who dares to make waves here?"

At this time, the restaurant was very lively outside, with divination, fortune tellers, word testers, dog skin plasters, snack sellers, and all kinds of business in the nine streams of the rivers and lakes.

The most conspicuous is the grandfather and grandson with knives and guns, the old man is sixty years old, and the wrinkles on his face write the vicissitudes of his life. The little girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was as beautiful as a flower. At this time, the field was opened, swords and guns danced in all directions, the audience was like a cloud, and the applause and cheers rang out.

Nangong Yunfei paid attention to it for a while, the old man's marksmanship and the little girl's knife skills were bright, and he had the demeanor of everyone, not like ordinary people who were performing arts.

"Brother Xiong, do you know the origin of the old and the young?"

Nangong Yunfei asked Xiong Tailai. Xiong Tailai smiled, made a long speech, and said it from the beginning:

This old man's name is Su Xin, and he is said to be a good hand in Wuchang. When he was young, he came to Wuchang from Jiangbei, and he hit a piece of the world with his fists and feet, and was known as "crossing the river dragon". Later, when he married a wife and had children, he washed his hands and quit the rivers and lakes and changed to a small livelihood. When he is old, he is even more peaceful, and he never competes with others in fists and feet. He has a very uncompetitive son, who is addicted to gambling, and lost a little of Su Laohan's belongings, and his daughter-in-law also ran away. There is a granddaughter Su Manyu left, who loves like a pearl in the palm of her hand, and has learned almost all his skills. His uncompetitive son should not have provoked the vulture, and in a few games, he deceived him into entering Hong Kong, and lost five hundred taels of silver. The vulture threatened that if he couldn't get together the money in the past few days, he would pull someone to pay off the debt, and let Su Manyu be his maid. Qin Laohan had no choice but to scrape together money, and it is said that he had set up a show in front of this Yellow Crane Restaurant for many days.

Speaking of this in the restaurant, several routines have also been performed outside the restaurant. As soon as the gong sounded, the girl took a basket around for a week, and the audience may have praised them for their good martial arts, or they liked the girl's pretty appearance, and threw a lot of copper horns and broken silver. A few small coins fell to the ground, and the girl stretched out her jade finger to pick it up, but there was a tyrannical foot on the broken silver. The girl blushed and ran back to her grandfather, looking a little panicked.

"Old man Su, why did you come to my restaurant to get water?" Shun's foot looked like a thick leg like a pillar, the leg was not long, but the waist above the leg was very long. There is also an ultra-short neck on top of the extremely uncoordinated body, and a large head is on top of the short neck. The head is also different, the place where the hair should grow at the top door is a smooth and barren land, and the face that should be smooth is full of beards, and it looks like the stubble is not at all visible. In the middle of the grass was a small open space, with a broad forehead as straight as a cliff, a large mouth in the lower part, and lips purple, surprisingly thick, and the eyes and nose between the mouth and the forehead were crowded so that there was no room for them, and they were awkwardly crowded together. There are no eyebrows, a pair of small squinting eyes are fiercely exposed, and the two nostrils are squeezed by the thick lips to turn up towards the sky, making the whole facial feature appear more distinct.
