The world is in Kyushu, and the barren state is located in the southwest, during which there are many famous mountains and rivers, canyon basins. In ancient times, Huangzhou was the country of Pakistan, because of the steep terrain, less wars with other countries, the people lived comfortably and prosperously, until the Daxin Dynasty dominated the world, it took decades to open up galloping roads in the mountains, which was convenient for carriages and horses to walk, and Huangzhou had more close exchanges with other places in Kyushu.

Huangrong City is located in the north of Huangzhou, once the capital of Baguo, surrounded by mountains, because a river called "Jinjiang" flows here, also known as "Jincheng". The barren city is limited by the terrain, rarely sees the sun all year round, accumulates more dampness, and the local people are fond of spicy food to dispel cold and dampness, warm the stomach and nourish the body.

Merchants in Huangrong City often use bamboo skewers to string various ingredients such as beef and bamboo shoots, cook them in a red oil pot, called skewers, and some of them are steamed in advance, and then brushed with spicy oil and sesame juice to eat cold. It is also popular to mix green vegetables, duck intestines, pig blood and other ingredients in a pot, and then pour various seasonings such as chili oil and sesame oil after taking them out, which is called Mao Cai. There are also many snacks such as spicy rabbit head, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, dried fried beans, dragon copy, etc., which can be called the best food in Kyushu.

However, the most famous delicacy in Huangrong City is "hot pot". Different from the popular copper drum shabu in Tianjing, the Huangzhou hot pot has another stove fire, and each person picks up the ingredients with long chopsticks and eats them in the small grid. In addition, Tianjing shabu is mostly based on clear soup, fresh and tender beef and mutton and belly shredded shutters are used as materials, and Huangzhou hot pot is based on butter and chili peppers. Therefore, no matter whether it is hot in summer or cold in winter, the hottest restaurant in Huangrong City will always be a hot pot restaurant.

"Heroes Club" is one of the most famous old hot pot restaurants in Huangrong City, the operator is Jianghe Gang, although the price of the dishes is much more expensive than other hot pot restaurants, but the ingredients are fresh, the bottom of the pot is delicious, among the diners, there are not only the local people who have a lot of money, the wealthy dignitaries who are generous, but also many past travelers and high-rollers who come to visit. Therefore, even if the Heroes Club store is very large, with three floors, it is still full every day, and it is difficult to find one.

In the southeast corner of the first floor of the Heroes Club, several long tables were put together into a large table, on which there were four hot pots, and there were more than 20 people sitting around, all wearing short blue shirts, carrying bamboo hats on their backs, and carrying sheathed waist knives around their waists. Unlike the diners at other tables who feast while feasting, this big table only picks up the dishes one by one, and then eats them, and no one says a word, and the silence is frightening.

Next to this large table, there is a small black lacquered wood square table, which was originally only used for the guys in the store to put plates, but now it has also set up a boiling hot pot, next to which are several plates of beef, mutton, duck intestines, green leafy vegetables and hand-rolled noodles. At the table sat only a young man with a cowhide bag, a velvet shirt and trousers, and hard leather boots. The young man was sweating all over the hot pot, and from time to time he was numb to the point of spicy, grinning open, stretching out his tongue, raising his hand to fan the wind, and making a cry of "ah, ah", which was uncomfortably spicy and extremely spicy.

The large table is cold and silent, and the small table is lively, with sharp contrasts. Not only did the surrounding diners cast strange glances, but even the twenty or so people at the big table frowned and stared at the young man at the small table. A man in a blue shirt with a fierce face couldn't help but say, "The little baby on the table, can't you be quiet when you eat?"

The young man put down his chopsticks, threw his hand over to the big table, and said as he inhaled, "Ah, I've never eaten anything so spicy...... It's so spicy...... I'm sorry to disturb everyone, but I hope Haihan. ”

The others at the big table also persuaded the blue-shirted man: "Senior Brother Ding, and stop being angry, we don't need to worry about this little doll." "Haha, people who haven't eaten spicy food are so virtuous. "Senior Brother Ding, let's hurry up and eat. After eating, go on the road early, find Hanjuan Valley Xingshi to ask for guilt, and ask for our treasure knife. The man who was shouted "Senior Brother Ding" by everyone only snorted, and continued to eat hot pot, and the others stopped talking, and immediately returned to the previous silence.

The young man at the small table heard the words of those people, but he was relieved: "Hanjuan Valley? Isn't this the one of the ten major factions in Kyushu located in Huangzhou? Listening to the words of these people, they are actually going to find the matter of Hanjuan Valley, and there is also a treasure knife. I don't know what kind of knife it is?"

The boy is naturally Hong Chen, after entering this "Hero Club" hot pot restaurant, he waited for a long time to find such a position, originally just wanted to taste what the famous hot pot in Huangrong City tasted like, but he didn't expect this spicy to be too powerful, obviously all he wanted was the slightly spicy pot bottom of this restaurant, but it was spicier than any dish he had eaten before.

Hong Chen took out a hand towel, blew his spicy snot, and glanced at the group of people on the big table, seeing that although there were a lot of people in this group, there were few who had the momentum of masters, even if Senior Brother Ding, who was faintly led by them, was at best a second-rate master of the fourth realm of internal strength, where did he get the tone to find trouble in Hanjuan Valley?

When the group of people finished eating and settling the bill, Hong Chen also hurriedly asked Xiao Er to pay the bill. The group of people went out of the store to lead the horses, and Hong Chen also followed outside to lead the snow. After walking not far, Senior Brother Na Ding suddenly turned around, saw Hong Chen at a glance, and shouted: "You kid sneakily follow us, what kind of fame do you want to do?

Hong Chen bowed again, and said: "Under the black tea, people from Qiangzhou, this trip to Huangzhou, I wanted to visit Hanjuan Valley, but I just heard that you are going to Hanjuan Valley to ask for a treasure knife, I don't know what this matter ......is."

Before he finished speaking, Senior Brother Na Ding roared angrily: "Dog thief, you shut up Lao Tzu." The eyes of the others suddenly became extremely unfriendly. Brother Dante did not continue to speak after shouting that sentence, and as soon as he turned around, he continued to walk west with the others.

Hong Chen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know why this group of people didn't even want to explain what was the reason, could it be that the treasure knife was robbed by the people of Hanjuan Valley? But Hanjuan Valley is one of the top ten factions in the world, how could they rob these people's knives?

Hong Chen didn't know why, but seeing that this group of people was extremely unfriendly to him, he had no intention of having more contact with them, so he walked quickly to the south with the snow. After walking out of a section, Hong Chen asked passers-by to inquire, and he knew that the "Wangdi Mountain" where Hanjuan Valley was located was located in the southwest of Huangrong City, which was not too far away.
