Xijing Mansion, on the current territory of the Southern Han Kingdom, is located in a prominent corner of the northwest. The position is forward, surrounded by enemies on three sides. To the west, it can lead to the Western Regions, to the north to the place where Bac Ninh arose, and to the east it can directly approach the Fengzhou City occupied by Bac Ninh, and the strategic location is extremely important.

In the Hanning War, the Bac Ninh Kingdom was originally ready to capture the Southern Han Kingdom, an important town in the northwest, but the city here was high and strong, impregnable, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians defended the city together.

Today's Xijing Mansion, heavily garrisoned by the Southern Han State, is even more impregnable. It is like a nail embedded in the territory of Bac Ninh, so that the bones of the ruler of Bac Ninh are in the throat, like sitting on pins and needles.

It is precisely because of this special strategic position that in the era of relative peace, it became the center of exchange and trade between foreign tribes and the Central Plains, forming a special commercial culture.

However, what makes Xijing Mansion most famous is not the glorious history of war, nor the prosperous merchant trade, but the Helan family here.

Nowadays, the most prominent family in the martial arts is authorized by the imperial court to accept disciples, and the only condition is that once a war breaks out, it can support the army to fight.

The mansion of the Helan family is located in the center of the city, like a city within a city, and countless heroes from the rivers and lakes come to worship the door of the Helan family.

Every day, all the disciples would gather in the practice ground for morning classes, and the sound of neat shouts and cheers resounded in the sky.

A middle-aged man was inspecting the disciples' practice, dressed in a strong suit and carrying a cold-lit ring-headed broadsword on his back.

"The knife is the first of the eighteen weapons, no matter what the knife technique is, it is nothing more than a few basic movements, piercing, collapsing, sweeping, and chopping. I ask you to work the basics on weekdays, don't feel bored, and one day, when you face a strong enemy, you will naturally know the importance of the foundation. The middle-aged man said.

He is Helan Ziqing, Helan Que's brother, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Helan family.

"Master Ziqing, the alliance leader invites you to go to the hall and discuss important matters. A disciple came to report.

"You keep practicing, I'll come as I go, and no one is allowed to be lazy. After speaking, Helan Ziqing walked towards the hall.

In the hall, there is a plaque hanging directly above, with four big characters written on it, "Wude Zhengshen".

A middle-aged man is sitting in the hall sipping tea, wearing a purple and gold robe, stepping on the clouds, it is the leader of the martial arts league, Helan Que, on the table on the side, there is a knife horizontally, the tiger's head is ringed, and the dragon is wrapped around his body, this is the dragon and tiger golden knife that he relied on to become famous.

"Alliance leader, you look for me. Helan Ziqing walked in, although they were brothers, but on weekdays, Qing still called Helan Que the leader of the alliance.

"Brother Ziqing, I recently heard that the Fengcheng branch of the Red Gang had another accident and many people died. You are familiar with the leader of the Red Gang, but have you ever heard any news? Helan Que asked.

"Recently, I have been busy with family affairs, but I have also heard some rumors, counting this incident, a total of thirteen people from the Red Gang's deputy gang leader Zhang Moqian were killed one after another, which is indeed strange. Helan Ziqing replied.

"Hmph, it seems that Linghu is really old, this kind of thing can't be handled well, and the murderer is allowed to flee everywhere and commit crimes continuously. Helan Que snorted coldly.

"Alliance leader, I've heard some other rumors about this. Ziqing said again.

"Oh, what rumors?" asked Helan Que.

It is said that the targets of this serial killer are directly related to Zhang Moqian, and Zhang Moqian has a great relationship with the bloody case ten years ago. Ziqing replied.

Hearing Bai Baijun's name, Helan Que was shocked, he hadn't heard this name for a long time, if it wasn't for Bai Baijun's accidental death, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to be the leader of the martial arts alliance.

"How can this matter have anything to do with him, although I am not familiar with this chapter Moqian, I have also heard that he is a heroic and chivalrous person. Helan Que wondered.

"People in the rivers and lakes know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, it's hard to say. Ziqing said.

"If Linghu can't solve this matter, it's up to us to solve it, how can we allow this murderer to get away with it, who knows if anyone will suffer from it, what does Brother Ziqing think. Helan Que said angrily.

"Now it is rumored outside that this matter is related to the descendants of the Bai family, I heard that she is still a girl, she has taken over Tiger Roaring Heights, it is really not to be underestimated. Ziqing said again.

"What about Liang Xiaotian of Tiger Roaring Heights?" asked Helan Que again.

"Liang Xiaotian is said to have died in the infighting in the villa, and Hua Wuyu also died. Ziqing replied.

"No wonder this girl from the Bai family can take over Tiger Roaring Heights, this Liang Xiaotian and Bai Bai can be a lifelong friendship. Helan Que said again.

"If this matter is really related to the descendants of the Bai family, I am afraid that the whole of this Tiger Roaring Heights Villa will be used by her as a tool for revenge. Helan Ziqing said worriedly.

"If that's the case, I don't think we can sit idly by. Helan Que said.

"There is another thing, it is said that the descendants of the Bai family and Peng Zhaonian of Tiger Roaring Mountain Villa are coming to Xijing Mansion. Ziqing said.

"What are they doing in Xijing?" asked Helan Que.

"Alliance leader, have you forgotten, you and Bai Bai were both ...... back then" Helan Ziqing only said half of what he said, and he was hesitant.

Helan Que's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "If it's for that incident, I'm afraid it's going to be for our Helan family this time." ”

"The alliance leader doesn't have to worry, with the strength of my Helan family, why should I be afraid of a little girl's family. Helan Ziqing said.

"But behind her, is Tiger Roaring Heights, if we have a conflict with Tiger Roaring Heights, then I am afraid it will shake the entire rivers and lakes, no matter who loses or wins, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

"Either way, let's prepare in advance so that we don't get caught off guard. Helan Ziqing said.

"Well, I think that Peng Laosan of Tiger Roaring Heights should be a sensible person, and if there is any misunderstanding when the time comes, it should not expand the situation. Helan Que stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the morning glow in the distance, and was thinking about something.

"White girl, this is Yuncheng in front of this, this is only six hundred miles away from Xijing, it's getting late today, why don't we stay here." Peng Zhaonian looked at the sky and said.

Seeing that Xijing was in front of him, Bai Li couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't wait to fly over immediately.

"Third Brother Peng, everyone has worked hard all the way, let's have a good rest in Yuncheng for a day, and then go on the road the day after tomorrow. Bai Li said.

"Long live the owner!" several attendants almost fell off their horses with joy when they heard that they could rest all day.

They went into the city and found an inn to stay in. Everyone else fell asleep, and only Bai Li came to the courtyard alone with his own double knives.

The moonlight is like frost, the double knives are out of the sheath, the beauty is like jade, and the cold light is a little bit.

Along the way, Bai Li was seizing all the time, practicing the heavy glass knife technique that Yu Chong taught her, and she knew that she couldn't rely on the protection of others forever.

All this was seen by Peng Zhaonian, he didn't bother Bai Li, just quietly guarded on the side.

Jiangzhonglou boat

Yu Zhong was standing on the deck looking at Jiang Jing, and Qing Shao walked over quietly.

"Qing Shao, I don't know if you have any advice?" Yu Zhong said without replying.

"Xu Gongzi's martial arts are really strong. Qing Shao said expressionlessly.

Yu Zhong turned around and said, "Qing Shao might as well let it go." ”

"The last time I only fought one move, I knew that you were superb in swordsmanship, I have a problem, I can't walk when I see a good sword, and I want to compete when I see a person with strong martial arts, but you have both. Qing Shao said, still unsmiling.

"Haha, Qing Shao said and laughed, I'm just a nobody, not enough to worry about. Yu Zhong didn't want to cause more trouble, so he said humbly.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's shoot. Qing Shao said, and the sword in his hand was already raised.

At this time, the boat began to slowly move from the center of the river to the shore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the city of Connecticut ahead, if you want to go to Xijing, get off the boat from here, and walk for two or three days, you can get there. Long Gongzi walked over, glared at Qing Shao as he spoke, and he had no choice but to put away his sword again.

"Thank you for taking care of Long Gongzi all the way, if you have the opportunity to come to Fengcheng in the future, you must let Lin do the friendship of the landlord. Lin Hui clenched his fists and said.

"That's natural, and I will definitely come to the door to bother me in the future. Long Gongzi said.

"Young Master Long, thank you, hehe, fortunately with you, otherwise Xiao Feiyan wouldn't be able to stand this way of sleeping in the open. Feiyan said from the side.

"I told you not to come with me. Yu Rong muttered.

"I mean my little pig, not me. Feiyan hugged the piglet, turned her head and said.

"Brother Long smiled, I've caused you trouble all the way. Yu Zhong said.

"Brother Xu is polite, I will not be far away, I wish you a smooth journey, we will meet later. Long Gongzi said.

"Dock, put the pedals. All I could hear was the boatman shouting from the lower floor.

"Brother Long, we're going to say goodbye, and we'll see you later. Yu Zhong and the others said goodbye to Long Gongzi and led the horse ashore.

"Master Xu, sooner or later, I will compete with you. Qing Shao said.

"Haha, okay, we'll have a meeting later. Yu Zhong said with a smile.

Long Gongzi shook the folding fan and smiled at the back of Yu Zhong and the others.

"Young Master, where are we going next?" asked Qing Shao on the side.

"Take a few capable subordinates, and we will also go to Xijing. Long Gongzi replied with squinted eyes.

"We're going to Xijing too?" Qing Shao repeated.

"Yes, it seems that there is a bustle in Xijing to see, and I love to watch the bustle. Long Gongzi said.

Qing Shao muttered: "I think you went to see the girl." ”

Long Gongzi turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"Ahem, didn't say anything. Qing Shao coughed a few times.

Connecticut City is not a big town, and it is the first time for the people to see such a huge building ship, and they are also watching at the port, talking about it.

"Our journey is also easy, thanks to the blessing of the Dragon Prince, we may be able to rush to Xijing before Limei. Yu Zhong said.

"Then let's get on the road as soon as possible, without further ado. Lin Hui suggested.
