Volume 1 Qianqing School Chapter 8 Qinghe Town

The gate of the town is wide open, allowing three or four carriages to enter in parallel, several men with broad-bladed iron swords hanging from their waists are standing on both sides, and there are large iron boxes on both sides of the road, which are clearly written in black ink: "You need to pay taxes to enter the town, ten copper coins!"

In the Daqian Dynasty, copper money was the lowest currency in circulation, and there were three kinds of silver money, money, and jade money, with an exchange ratio of 100 to 1.

The town tax of ten copper coins is not excessive, and it can be affordable for ordinary civilians, unless it is a poor village like Gujing Village that can't even afford to eat.

Qi An has killed a lot of robbers and thieves in the past year, and it is indispensable to search for corpses, and there is absolutely no shortage of coins, so he casually took out ten copper coins and threw them into the big iron box, and walked leisurely into the town.

The town is small, with more than 1,000 households, and dozens of streets run through it, with the east-west street in the middle being the most spacious, and the stone bridge across the river leads to the town along this road.

Qi An wandered around, found a ready-to-wear store, bought a new set of clothes to change into, threw away the dusty old clothes, and asked the store for some water by the way, washed his face and hair, cleaned up clean, and then walked out of the store.

Mozhou is windy and sandy, dusty everywhere, it is difficult to keep clean and hygienic, and over time, Qi'an is too lazy to change and wash, and is often mistaken for a wandering beggar.

But today is different, after a while, the river is Qingzhou, Qingzhou is not like Mozhou is full of wind, sand and dust, but green grass, full of greenery, you can change a refreshing and tidy outfit, you don't have to be like a mud monkey all day long.

Coming out of the garment store, passing by a steamed bun shop, Qi An bought a few large meat buns, and while eating, he walked slowly down the street from west to east.

Suddenly, there was a series of exclamations in front of him, plus a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, more than a dozen galloping horses galloped from the opposite direction, and pedestrians dodged to both sides in panic, but those flat burdens, luggage, parcels, carts and other cumbersome things did not have time to be withdrawn, and were smashed by the galloping horses, and all kinds of items were scattered all over the place, most of which were damaged.

The knight who controlled the horse didn't care about the life or death of these people, and none of them slowed down, but all of them went on a rampage unscrupulously, rushing from the other side of the street, and soon arrived in front of Qi'an.

Although Qi An was disgusted by the domineering behavior of these knights, he did not cause any trouble, so he stepped aside a little, letting the arrogant horse team go first.

However, Zian did not retreat to the very edge of the street on either side of the street, like those timid pedestrians, he only retreated a few steps sideways, although he gave up a spacious enough position, but in the eyes of those knights, the position was still very prominent, and did not show enough awe.

When the horse team was about to stagger, one of the knights closest to Qi An suddenly swung his long stick towards Qi An, wanting to teach the obnoxious young man a lesson.

This move immediately angered Qi An, I gave way to you, and even beat me with a stick?

Qi An's principle has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and if people offend me, I will beat people. He saw this stick coming with a whistling sound, and he didn't show any mercy, if it was just an ordinary person, he would be either dead or crippled if he was swept by this stick.

So Qi An snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed the stick, the knight who waved the stick didn't expect that this little boy was a martial arts master, so he didn't care, and when he reacted, the long stick had fallen into Qi An's hand, and then a huge force came from the stick, and immediately the knight couldn't control the long stick in his hand, and was snatched by Qi An's split, and then backhanded a stick, slamming it on the knight's chest, and directly knocked him out of the horse, and blood sprayed wildly in mid-air.

This change immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the rest of the knights stopped their horses one after another, and all looked at Qi An with unkind eyes.

The knight, who had been beaten with a stick, had fainted to death on the side of the street, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and if he was not dead, he was not lightly injured.

"Boy, are you tired of being alive, dare to do something to our four-horse gang, and don't kneel down and confess!" the other knight fiercely pointed at Qi An with his horsewhip and scolded.

Qi An raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and threw the long stick in his hand, like an enlarged crossbow, and shot at the shouting knight at a rapid pace.

That man's strength was far from Qi An's, and he couldn't react at all, and he couldn't resist it, so he was stabbed in the chest by a long stick that broke through the air, and immediately spurted blood from his mouth and fell under the horse.

Qi An snorted coldly: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to ask your master to kneel, you are simply looking for death!"

In an instant, Qi An injured two people in a row, this change was too fast, many people did not react, and when it happened, it caused an uproar, especially the people on both sides of the road, all of them were shocked and couldn't keep their mouths together, never expected that this young man who looked like a weak chicken would dare to provoke the Four Horse Gang in Qinghe Town.

The Four Horse Gang is a warrior gang, and it is the hegemon of this Qinghe Town, which is as famous as the Iron Sword Gate, and jointly manages Qinghe Town. These two warrior gangs, one in the west of the town and the other in the east of the town, both have innate martial arts sects in charge, and their forces are almost the same, they are afraid of each other, and they are not easy to conflict, but they are not so polite to those ordinary townspeople, and they have always been rampant and domineering, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to touch the tiger's whiskers today and hurt people again and again, which is very surprising.

There are four gang leaders in the Four Horse Gang, all of whom are surnamed Ma, they are sibling brothers, in the name of "mountains, rivers, rivers and seas", the eldest horse is half a mountain, the second horse is half a river, the third horse is half a river, and the fourth horse is half a sea, all four of them are congenital martial arts sects, especially the eldest brother Ma Banshan is the strongest, much more powerful than ordinary martial arts sects.

Now, the four brothers of the Ma family are all here, and when they saw two of their subordinates being injured by the young man in a row, they couldn't hold their faces, and they were all angry.

Ma Banshan turned his head and instructed Ma Banhai beside him: "Fourth, abolish him!"

Ma Banhai got the order, flew down from the horse, and rushed straight to Qi An, he clenched his hands into claws, tore his shoulders on the left, and grabbed the door on the right, fast and ruthless, and he had moved to kill.

Qi An had already taken precautions, and he had already seen from the skills and moves of the comer that this person's strength was not under Long Wu, but a veritable martial arts cultivator, but he himself was also a martial artist, who was afraid of whom?

Qi An was calm and calm, his hands came out together, and he made a move "Goshawk Catches Rabbit", claw to claw, and in the sound of "crackling", the four palms were fiercely buckled together.

Ma Banhai sneered in his heart: I practice [Tiger Claw], I have been immersed in it for more than ten years, you fight with me for claws?

He used his five fingers hard, wanting to pinch off Qi An's palm, but Qi An's palm was small, but the strength of his hand was not small, Wu Zong's cultivation coupled with his innate divine power, surpassed Ma Banhai a lot, and under the competition, the palm was pinched and exploded by Ma Banhai, who was good at claw method.

"Ah——!h

"Fourth!" Ma Banshan and the other brothers were stunned, jumped off their horses one after another, and rushed to Qi'an together.

They originally had the mentality of watching the show, thinking that Ma Banhai would be able to teach this arrogant boy a hard lesson, but who knew that the other party's strength was so strong, and even Ma Banhai, who was a martial artist, was not an opponent, and he suffered a big loss as soon as he made a move, if he didn't save it as soon as possible, I am afraid the consequences would be more serious.

Seeing that the three martial arts sects rushed over again, Qi An immediately let go of Ma Banhai's hands that had changed shape, kicked his legs, and kicked the soles of his feet on Ma Banhai's chest, and Ma Banhai sprayed blood, spun, and flew upside down to the three brothers of the Ma family in the back.

Ma Banshan, who was in the middle, hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, only to see that Ma Banhai was like gold paper, his breath was like a gossamer, and his two claws were bent into strange shapes, and he had been seriously injured by the young man and completely lost his ability to fight.

"Little bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Ma Banshan let out an angry roar, and Ma Banchuan and Ma Banhe on the left and right had already rushed out.

The four brothers of the Ma family once had an adventure, and were taught by the masters, respectively, they were good at fists, palms, fingers, and claws, the fist is [dragon-shaped fist], the palm is [bear-shaped palm], the finger is [snake-shaped finger], and the claw is [tiger-shaped claw], these four sets of martial arts have their own advantages and disadvantages, probably and Qi An learned the [Seven Bird Fist] is a grade, but if the four people join forces to use it, complement each other, the power will be doubled, which is the biggest reliance of the four brothers of the Ma family.

Unexpectedly, because of the light enemy, Ma Banhai was abolished by Qi An first, and the powerful four-shaped fist became one of the three, and there was no possibility of joining forces.

However, the Ma family brothers have been crisscrossing Qinghe Town for several years, except for an iron sword gate, they have never put anyone else in their eyes, although Ma Banhai was injured by Qi An's move, they all thought that Ma Banhai was the reason for underestimating the enemy, and they didn't think that this young man would be strong, at most it was an ordinary martial arts level, it was Ma Banchuan and Ma Banhe who rushed forward without stopping, striking left and right, with one palm and one finger, all of them greeted the vital points on Qi An's body.

Qi An made a move of "Dapeng spreads his wings", and his palms were slapped to the left and right, facing the palms and fingers of Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao San.

Maybe it's because his age is too paralyzing, and it's always contemptible, but the other two don't feel threatened, their moves remain the same, and they still attack, wanting to fight Qi An to the death, and they don't take Ma Banhai's experience to heart at all.

Ma Banchuan is okay, the [Bear-shaped Palm] he practiced originally focused on strength, and he was good at hard fighting, and it was understandable to fight hard with Qi An, but Ma Banhe, a stupid man, did not give full play to the dexterous and changeable advantages of [Serpentine Finger], and it was the same as Ma Banchuan, he came up to do it, and the result was ......

"Bang-", Ma Banchuan took three steps back, his palms were numb, and his chest was surging with qi and blood, and he suffered a small loss.

"Bang-", Ma Banhe's body flew upside down, spitting blood from his mouth, and his entire right arm was almost broken, and he suffered a big loss.

And Qi An, standing firmly in place, not moving like a mountain, even his breath is not the slightest disorder, and the strength of the two people on the other side is not as good as him.
