When he heard "Huo Ji Teahouse", Li Suifeng was stunned. There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Even if it wasn't for Qian Yu and Chu Wunian, Li Suifeng would have to go there!

In the early morning of the next day, Li Suifeng took the confused Su Yao and Jiang Ci and set off to the east of the city.

On the east side of the outer castle of Tokai County is the coast, and a little further north there is a large river flowing into the sea. The wind and waves here are calm all year round, and there are many wharves for transportation. Many fishermen go out to sea from here to fish. There are many taverns and tea stalls along the dock, most of which have no names, and they all rely on the big trees next to them or a rag hanging at the door as a signboard. The wine and tea here are almost all inferior products of one penny and one pot, which is a place for the men who come back from the sea to gag and relax.

"Most of the people who fish by the sea live on boats all their lives. The rotten wooden boats tethered to the shore were where they ate and lived, and several families could live on one ship. The mother-in-law on the boat weaves and dries nets by the dock during the day, and the men go out to sea together. The children of the family carried a basket to catch some small fish and shrimp in the sand, and when the father returned, he followed them to the market by the city wall to sell fish and beg for a mouthful of hard money. ”

The fishy smell in the sky made Jiang Ci cover his mouth and nose. He said, "Has this place always been like this?"

The white-bearded old man took a choking dry cigarette in his mouth and said, "The wind, the water, the fish, the boat, the people here have been dealing with these four things all their lives. A few decades ago, when people were still in the north, life was a little harder, but they could still be fed and clothed, and a diligent and well-lived family could even buy a piece of land on the shore. But since the change of county guard more than ten years ago, he said that he would build a building at the mouth of the river in the north, and he did not let us fish in the north and drove us all to the south. ”

Su Yao said: "The sea in this area is full of reefs, and if you are not careful, you will hit the reef, which is not suitable for building a wharf to go to sea, and it is no wonder that the harvest of fishing is not good." ”

"You know this?"

"The property of the Tourist Workshop will be carefully investigated. ”

The old man said: "What the woman said is that since we arrived here, we can only catch a basket of fish after three or four days at sea. There are fewer fish to catch, less people to eat, and fewer fish to sell in the city. Moreover, those errand dogs, in order to drive us here, smashed a lot of people's boats!" When he said this, the old man's dry eyes were filled with tears. But there was no anger in his words. Under the erosion of age and the burden of survival, the old man, and even all the fishermen here, have long lost the enthusiasm to resist. Anger has no effect, all they can do is go along with it, and survive under the crush of injustice and bullying.

"Smash the ship, isn't this a way to cut off people's lives!" Jiang Ci's eyes lit up with anger. "Isn't there anyone in charge?"

"What's the use? In the past, the Zhouxing Gang would take care of us, but since the government left them at the wharf at the mouth of the river, no one cares about us poor fishermen. The old man exhaled a puff of smoke helplessly. The gray-white smoke dissipated, but the gloom in my heart did not.

"Then I'll ...... with them"

Li Suifeng hurriedly pressed Jiang Ci's shoulder and shook his head at him. The young Jiang Ci still retains the blood of the struggle. But in the eyes of fishermen who are just trying to survive, his blood is not hope, but poison that has attracted a violent counterattack from the government. The slightest carelessness will set themselves on fire, and this fire-like blood will burn the more fragile fishermen first, and then swallow Jiang Ci itself.

"This is the rivers and lakes of people. Li Suifeng persuaded Jiang Ci: "They have tasted hardships, so they only think about how to keep their existing lives." Your impulsiveness is pointless, and the struggle you thought would only cause them to lose everything they had in the face of the government's retaliation. Instead of igniting the idea of taking the fire and continuing to fight, they will resent you endlessly. ”

"Then just sit back and do nothing?" Jiang Ci asked rhetorically.

Li Suifeng said in a low voice: "Jiang Ci, do you want to personally lead an uprising, and then suppress them as Ji Yunqu?

"Thank you. ”

"In front of it is Huo Ji Teahouse. The old man walked in front and didn't hear what Li Suifeng and Jiang Ci said. He pointed to a relatively clean hut by the dock and said, "Lao Huo is the most prestigious among us fishermen. When we had a conflict with each other or with the greengrocers in the city, he intervened. ”

"Thank you, uncle. Li Suifeng stuffed a few pieces of silver into the old man's hand.

"It's just to lead the way, but you can't do it. The old man wanted to resign, but Li Suifeng had already taken a step ahead. He had no choice but to hide the silver in his arms and leave with a smile on his face.

When he walked to the door of the teahouse, Li Suifeng suddenly stopped. Not only did he not enter the teahouse, but instead pulled Su Yao and Jiang to retreat seven steps back. He said: "You go for a walk around the neighborhood, and after you meet Chu Wunian, tell him not to come to the teahouse." ”

Jiang Ci, who was confused by the second monk, asked him, "What's wrong?"

"In the teahouse, there is more than one hidden master. Li Suifeng said: "There are rules above the nine grades, and they will not easily attack the people below the nine grades, but the sword idiot is at the peak of the nine grades, and the strength is above some hidden masters, but I am afraid that they are not among them." ”

"What about you?"

"I'm only seven, don't worry. Li Suifeng patted Su Yao and Jiang Ci on the shoulders and walked into the teahouse alone. He didn't dare to let Jiang Ci and Su Yao in, because there were not only hidden masters above the Nine Grades here, but also several Nine Rank masters who were extremely hidden. If you don't make a move above the nine products, it doesn't mean that the nine products don't make a move. If Li Suifeng was alone, he would still have a chance to escape.

A small teahouse on the dock suddenly became dangerous.

"Boss, come to a pot of tea. Li Suifeng sat at the tea table and pretended to be calm and asked for a pot of tea. The taste of the tea is very light, and the smell of the tea leaves will even be overshadowed by the smell of the sea breeze. This pot of tea is not even as good as a pot of white water in Li Suifeng's mouth, and I don't know if this tea is too light, or if this tense atmosphere makes this tea too light.

In the teahouse, there is a man with a meaty face. He is the head of the vassal sect "Haishamen", which specializes in managing seaside affairs for the Xuanji Sect of the East China Sea, Feng Zhen. Behind him stood several swarthy strong men, all dressed as boatmen, all murderous, showing that they were going to make trouble.

If Feng Zhen is an arrogant wolf, then the white-haired old man sitting in the corner of the teahouse is a sinister poisonous snake. The old man didn't seem to like the inferior tea leaves in the teahouse, so he took out a few pieces of tea from his bosom and put them in the teapot. His right eye is completely white, his facial features are distorted, and he does not have the temperament of a fairy wind and bones. However, Li Suifeng felt far more threats on this old man's body than that Feng Qian! He was one of the twelve leading killers in the Night Whispering Wine Shop, and the "poisonous python" Dugu Yu! Li Suifeng didn't know that this person's younger brother Dugu Lou was one of the few people who intercepted and killed Chen Zhufeng back then!

Li Suifeng's fingers rubbed against the edge of the rough pottery cup, and his heart was already sweating. He was just about to have a cup of tea when suddenly another person walked into the teahouse. This person was wearing a feather official uniform, and on his feet were herring official boots, and he knew at a glance that he was dressed as a master of the imperial capital! Li Suifeng said in his heart: "Why is the master of Ouchi also here, hasn't he noticed Jiang Ci?" One of the masters of Ouchi, Wei Jiu even hung a steel claw on his waist, there was a scar on his lips, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know joy or sorrow. Ignoring the "guests" in the teahouse, he sat down at a small table and said, "Boss, serve tea." His hoarse voice was impressive.

Li Suifeng is like an ant who has broken through Longtan - he will not die at the hands of a master above the ninth grade, but in the aftermath of the clash between the hidden masters. When Wei Jiulian sat down, Li Suifeng had already begun to think about whether to go for the upper plan.

Just as Li Suifeng was fidgeting, a one-armed man suddenly broke into the teahouse! Several reckless men in leather robes behind him blocked the door of the teahouse, completely cutting off the way for Li Suifeng to retreat in advance. The one-armed man shouted: "Chu Wunian, you come out for me! Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head for me!" This one-armed man is Cao Qing, the leader of the Noisy Wind Gang, who mainly wanders in several prefectures and counties north of the East China Sea, and is well-known in the rivers and lakes. Li Suifeng saw that his face was pale, the wound on his arm was new, and blood was even oozing from the bandage, and his left arm was cut off by force.

"Housheng, you're in the way. Before Cao Qing finished shouting, he was pushed away with a palm. This palm seems to be an understatement, but it is as powerful as a thousand pounds! Behind Cao Qing was an old man who walked into the teahouse. He carried a long sword, his face was resolute, and he was not angry and arrogant! The old man was dressed in a purple robe, his beard and hair were all white, and he was full of fairy spirit. In front of everyone, he walked to the center of the teahouse and said, "If a few of you come to trouble our Chu family's juniors, please leave." I, Chu Mingjue, can represent the Chu family and don't care about you. The strength of these words is not large, but the sound is shocking, which shows the depth of internal strength. A word of not bothering with you shows the domineering behavior of the Chu family!

"Chu family?" Li Suifeng thought to himself: "This should be Chu Wunian's family, right?

The supporting roles are basically here, and it's time for the protagonist to take the stage. Li Suifeng thought to himself: "It seems that if you want to leave, you have to wait for this scene to end." Hopefully I'll live to that time. "He felt like a leaf floating in a storm, and a single wave could wipe him out!

"The surname is Chu, don't think that we are afraid of you!" Feng Zhen slammed the teacup on the ground and roared, "Our Haishamen is not easy to mess with!"

"What's the matter, the master of Ouchi is also mixed here?" Dugu Yu let out a ghostly laugh while drinking tea. "You want a piece of the pie too?"

Wei Jiulian put the steel claw on the table and said in his characteristic hoarse voice: "He is related to the big case of the Japanese Bandits, and I am ordered to arrest him." ”

Cao Qing stood in front of Chu Mingjue and shouted: "I don't care! If he takes something from my territory, he must spit it out for me! Do you think I'm a good bully for the Noisy Wind Gang!"

"Are you so excited?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, laughing heartily. When they saw him, everyone was shocked. The man smiled: "What, didn't you expect me Gu Pinglan to come?"

"Sword Forging Sect Master, I didn't expect you to come too. In the corner of the teahouse, an old man with a gloomy face like an eagle vulture suddenly spoke. Li Suifeng was taken aback! The old man seemed to have been sitting in the corner for a long time when he walked into the teahouse, and he actually noticed the old man's breath at this time! The old man's voice sounded very weak, but it revealed a strong killing intent. He said, "If you want to stop me from avenging my son, I will kill you first." ”

"Mr. Ying, don't get excited. Gu Pinglan, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, said with a smile: "I'm also here to kill him." ”

Li Suifeng suddenly remembered the steps of Poyang County. Why, do recent villains like to use "Pinglan" as their names?

"With you, you also want to move the people of my Chu family?" Chu Mingjue, who had endured it for a long time, was furious! His robe agitated, his sword was sheathed, and he let out bursts of roars!

"Brother Chu......" The daughter of the teahouse owner sat at the back of the counter, shivering, tears rolling in her eyes. Panic and worry are all written on his face. Li Suifeng glanced at her, and suddenly had the illusion of finding someone in the same boat - on a small boat that could capsize in the monstrous waves at any time.

In the tense teahouse, the teahouse owner with a rickety back is a little out of place. The thin body shuttled between the masters, calmly serving them tea, but it became the last trace of peace.

When Li Suifeng noticed the boss, his mouth opened so wide.
