Chapter 9: Great River State (Part II)

Hu Badao sold the guanzi, which aroused the curiosity of Chu Wolf.

Chu Wolf said: "Brother Hu, say it quickly!"

Hu Badao said: "His eight achievements are the young masters of the eight formations in Ganzhou. The eight formations of Ganzhou ranked sixth among the ten domains. This time, the River King will give priority to the disciples of the Ten Domains. Also, it is said that when Li Feng was ten years old, he beat the head of the Qingfeng faction all over the ground to find his teeth. The background and martial arts are all good, how can the river king not accept it. ”

Chu Wolf was surprised.

"It looks like a sick ghost, and when he was ten years old, he beat a boss all over the ground looking for teeth!

Hu Ba said: "So in the rivers and lakes, you must not judge people by their appearance." Not only should you not judge people by their appearance, but you should also not despise anyone. There are big hidden dragons and tigers in the world, and the one you think is easy to bully may be the one who wants your life. For example, my brother and I are deeply hidden. ”

Chu Wolf asked with interest, "Then Brother Hu, where are you sacred?"

Hu Badao looked secretive, he said: "Since it is hidden deeply, you can't reveal it casually." Little brother, there is a fork in the road ahead, you have to go to the state capital, I want to go to Wu County, you can't go the same way. There is no feast in the world, and we will have a period later. ”

Chu Wolf said: "There will be a period later." ”

Hu Badao said: "Along the way, I see that you are extremely cautious, as if someone is unfavorable to you. Now you can rest assured. This is the territory of the Great River King, and it is full of eyeliners in the River King's Mansion. Even the people of the Zodiac Palace and the Divine Blood Sect have to give the River King some face, and they don't dare to make trouble here easily. As long as you go to a crowded place, you won't be fine if you don't go to a remote place. And ah......"

Hu Badao said that he wanted to leave, but he was nagging, and Chu Wolf suddenly seemed to understand something.

Chu Wolf couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he took out a piece of silver and said, "Brother Hu, you have told me a lot of things and interesting stories about the rivers and lakes along the way, and I invited you to drink this silver." ”

Hu Badao immediately smiled when he saw the silver, and took the silver and picked it up. Hu Badao was full of joy and turned onto another road, and Chu Wolf continued to walk towards Hezhou City.

At noon, the Chu wolf entered the Hezhou Mansion.

The capital of Grand River was the third largest city in the dynasty. The scale is grand and prosperous. Houses of all kinds are lined up one after another, and streets of all sizes are crisscrossed like cobwebs. Tea houses, wine shops, pawnshops, casinos, and green buildings abound on both sides of the street.

There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open field.

All kinds of cries and noisy traffic converge into a lively and prosperous scene.

Chu Wolf entered a wine shop, prepared lunch, and went to Dahe Mansion after noon.

There were many diners in the wine shop, and they were drinking wine while discussing the matter of the River King's apprenticeship.

Chu Wolf picked a table and sat down. He ordered the food and drink, and listened to the diners talk while he waited for the food.

A middle-aged man at the southwest table was flushed with excitement, and he said, "The River King was the first to accept Yu Wenle, the little prince of King Qiong's Mansion. Yesterday, I received Li Si from 100 shops. I wonder who the third one is?!"

An old man at the same table said: "The Wusun Gambling House has set up gambling games in various parts of Hezhou, and I heard that there are people from the gambling house in Dahe Mansion, so every time the River King accepts an apprentice, the gambling house will send people to announce it in time in various places. So let's wait for news. If the old man is right, news will come soon. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard an exuberant noise coming from outside the wine shop.

Someone shouted excitedly: "The River King has accepted the third disciple! It's the little thunder god of the five sons of the eight formations of Ganzhou! The little thunder god ......."

As Hu Badao speculated, the River King really received the little thunder god Lifeng.

Hearing the news, the drinkers were in high spirits again, and they were talking about it. Discuss who will be lucky enough to become the apprentice of the Great River King next.

Yu Wenle, Li Si, and Li Feng have successively become the apprentices of the Great River King, which really makes Chu Wolf extremely envious. It was also difficult for him to calm down. Drink the spirits one after the other.

Chu Wolf also wanted to join the Great River King's sect, but he was not qualified at all. First of all, he is not a child of a famous faction, and secondly, he is an apprentice of the old monster of Yin Feng, and when the time comes, it will be extremely gracious if the King of the Great River does not kill him, and it is impossible to accept him as an apprentice.

This made Chu Wolf feel indescribably depressed.

After eating, after noon, Chu Wolf went out of the wine shop and led the horse towards the outside of the city.

Chu Wolf didn't expect that just after leaving the city, he actually ran into Zheng Yiqiao.

Zheng Yiqiao was dressed in white, and his hair was also wrapped with a white ribbon. This is her filial piety to her mother. She was accompanied by two middle-aged men. One is Toutuo, with long hair and a fierce face, and a ring knife hanging from his waist. The other is a personable Confucian student.

Zheng Yiqiao's neck cut by Chu Wolf was still wrapped in cloth.

Encountering Zheng Yiqiao here made Chu Wolf feel good, and he greeted: "Miss Zheng, I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you?"

Zheng Yiqiao didn't expect to meet Chu Wolf here. Remembering the situation that day when he was almost wiped by Chu Wolf in the mountains, Zheng Yiqiao couldn't help touching his neck. She said with resentment, "I said I didn't want to see you again. ”

Chu Wolf was about to explain that he was really forced to explain that day, and Tou Tuo, who followed Zheng Yiqiao, warned coldly in a threatening tone: "Who are you? Don't bother anymore, my young lady doesn't want to see you, get out immediately!"

Zheng Yiqiao ignored the Chu wolf again, beat the horse and went forward, and Toutuo and Confucian also followed closely behind with their horses.

Chu Wolf looked at her back and said, "Stupid girl who doesn't know what to do, if I hadn't wiped your neck that day, the consequences would have been unimaginable......"

Chu Wolf also hit his horse forward.

After a while, Zheng Yiqiao turned around, and when she saw Chu Wolf walking behind, she said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you following me?

Chu Wolf said: "I didn't follow you. The road is facing the sky, and each one walks on one side. I'm going to meet the River King. ”

Zheng Yiqiao didn't believe that she was going to visit the River King, and she was about to say something, when the Confucian student whispered to Zheng Yiqiao: "Miss, why bother with him." The river king woke up from his lunch break, and it was important for us to go to the river house to apprentice. Don't delay big things. ”

Zheng Yiqiao glanced at Chu Wolf angrily, then turned his head and hit the horse and continued to move forward.

......

Dahe Wangfu is located in the east of Hezhou City 18 miles, covering an area of 100 acres, the atmosphere is magnificent.

The Hewang Mansion is backed by the "Yulian Mountain" with continuous green onions. Three miles in front of the courtyard is the surging "Big Red River". This section of the river is more than 20 zhang wide. There is a stone arch bridge over the river, which can be used by two horse-drawn carriages in parallel. Because this bridge is eighteen miles away from the state city, it is also known as the eighteen-mile bridge.

It was mid-autumn, the autumn was high and cool, and the sky was high and wide.

The surrounding mountains of Dahe Province are undulating, and there are many trees and flowers on the mountain, and many colors are mixed together, forming a colorful picture. There was a rich, fragrant smell wafting through the air.

Zheng Yiqiao and two retinues came to Dahe Mansion. Later, Chu Wolf also arrived. Chu Wolf tied his horse and walked towards the mansion gate.

On both sides of the gate of the mansion stood two teams of majestic swordsmen, both of whom were from Dahe Mansion.

Standing in the porch was a man in his fifties with a short beard, Xiao Chang, one of the two stewards of Dahe Mansion.

At this moment, the open space outside the house gate was crowded, and there were nearly 1,000 people.
