Xiao Jinyan looked at him with interest, "What suggestions?"

Su Zhengyuan smiled, took out the rope from his arms, handed it to Xiao Jinyan, and said, "There is a rope here, you knock me out, and then tie me up with a rope." ”

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Master Su is very old, and his taste is quite heavy, but, I'm sorry, it's not good to take this bite." ”

Su Zhengyuan smiled bitterly, "Miss Yuwen's identity is sensitive, if you go out with such a swagger, I won't be able to explain to Shangfeng, right?" Xiao Daxia, Brother Xiao, you should take pity on me, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses here, I have only been here for a few months, who knows how many eyes are staring at me? ”

"Stone Town?" Xiao Jinyan was a little curious, "Why haven't I heard of it there?"

Su Zhengyuan explained, "Last year, the city lord of Zhao captured 30,000 Chu soldiers, and Western Chu refused to redeem them, so he had to place them in Stone City, which also became the twentieth city of Yinyang. There are many people in Western Chu inside, and it is close to the border of Chu State, there are many people who trade in the black market every day, and the people who smuggle business are like cow hair, and the silver flows into my pocket like flowing water. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "With my brother's open-minded temperament, such a big piece of fat is under your nose, if you don't mix it up, it will be unless the sun comes out of the west." ”

Elder Su Zheng's face flushed, "Brother, if you say it so bluntly, it won't be interesting." ”

Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang ate something, and tied him to a chair according to Su Zhengyuan's request, Su Zhengyuan thanked him again and again, and said, "When my brother leaves, I have to report your movements to the court, all for survival, brother, don't hold grudges!"

"I don't have a good memory, and I don't usually hold grudges. ”

Su Zhengyuan said, "That's good." ”

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and punched him on the bridge of his nose, and when he landed, Su Zhengyuan's nose was bloody, and Xiao Jinyan said, "So, if I have a vengeance, I will take revenge on the spot." ”

After that, he took Yu Wenshuang and escaped from the back row of the barracks out of the gourd. Later, Su Zhengyuan sent people to pretend to chase and kill them, and wrote secret reports for several days, sending a few fast horses, eight hundred miles to expedite, to report to the capital.

An hour later, the two arrived at Stone Town.

Stone city is low-lying, surrounded by mountains, it is the place where 30,000 soldiers and horses of Western Chu are placed, Zhao Lanjiang chose to build a city here, half a year, this city has begun to take shape. There are not many trees here, and there are stones everywhere, and the skilled craftsmen of the Guifan Building use local materials to build houses with stones.

The city needed water the most, and two reservoirs were built around Stone Town, which led to the snow and water on the high mountains as water sources, and now the population here has surged, and Yinyang City has begun to build a canal to connect it to the Chishui River. Fortunately, the terrain is very low, and a ravine was found, and in the winter water was filled with water, and the stone crevices were crushed with ice, and now in early spring, nearly hundreds of people are building canals along the terrain.

Three streets have been built in the north and south of the city, and two roads in the east and west, although it is early spring, many craftsmen are already in full swing. The city wall was unbuilt, surrounded by thorn fences, and in the center was a market ruin, in which many people gathered to trade horses and sheepskins.

Yu Wenshuang looked at Stone City and said, "Your brother Zhao Lanjiang has a lot of skills in governing the city. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "He only knows how to kill, and he doesn't know anything about building a city, so he really exalts him." ”

Yu Wenshuang said, "Have you ever heard the phrase 'Shibei should be impressed in three days'? What's more, those who are in a high position don't have to do everything, they only need to do two things well." ”

"What two things?"

"The first is to manage people well, so that they make the best use of their own use, and each performs his own duties; second, it is enough to manage money well, to make the best use of money, and not to waste money. ”

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "In my opinion, I discussed with Lao Zhao that you should be the city lord." ”

Yu Wenshuang said, "The lord of a city, I'm not interested, the head of the family, I can fight, in the future, my family, I will take care of the money." and thou shalt earn me ten taels of silver a month. ”

Xiao Jinyan frowned.

Yu Wenshuang glared, "How can you have an opinion?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't even dare to say it, but he calculated in his heart that it was time to save some private money. As the two laughed, a team of fast horses galloped past them.

Xiao Jinyan saw that those people were dressed in Central Plains costumes, with blades in their hands, and internal force fluctuations on their bodies, they should all be people in the rivers and lakes, and there seemed to be a person he still knew, it was Zhang Siwen, the disciple of Zhang Shu, the head of the Hengshan faction, when he was the leader of the martial arts alliance before, he had seen this young man, and it was said that he was the illegitimate son of the head Zhang Shu. He was curious in his heart, what did the people of the Central Plains Martial Arts do all the way to this place?

Descend the mountain road to Stone Town. There are no people in the official palace here, but there is no one to stop them, along the street, there are both Han people and Western Chu people, and the two groups of people seem to be clearly divided, and they are obviously divided into two factions.

Someone shouted, "There's a fight in the ruins!"

Stone Town has only just been established, and fights and brawls are not uncommon. But there were more people of good deeds than ordinary people, and when the people heard the shouting, they all put down their work and gathered in the center of the city.

Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang also followed, only to see that in the middle of the market, there were more than a dozen Jianghu customers with swords, surrounding a young man.

This young man, holding a long sword in his hand, stood in the arena, stalemate with these dozen people, and there were four or five stout men lying on the ground, who seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.

An old man said, "Today is the fourth round. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked the old man all the way, "Uncle, what's going on?"

When the old man heard the news, he smiled, "I'll set up a stall here to do business, and I'm really the right person to ask me about this." ”

"How?"

The old man said, "This young man is a salt dealer in the Central Plains, he has just arrived, he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he sets up a stall here to sell salt, don't you know, the private salt business here is monopolized by the two brothers of 'One Dragon' and 'One Color', this kid doesn't know the height of the sky, and injured eleven people in a row. ”

Xiao Jinyan noticed that Zhang Siwen and others also got off the horse and stopped to watch the excitement. However, he stared at the boy in his eyes and did not notice himself.

The young man was besieged by more than a dozen people, his face was fearless, his hands holding swords were strong and powerful, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked at a dozen people.

The leader of the humane, "Boy, you originally sold smuggled salt, you have broken the rules here, and today you hurt people, it can be said that you don't know the height of the sky, if you know each other, put down the sword in your hand, and kowtow to the two bosses with us to ask for guilt, maybe you can save your life." ”

The young man said lightly, "I just sold a cart of salt, and I just left when I got back to the Central Plains, but you are struggling with each other, so it's no wonder that I." ”

The man said, "Everyone is a person in the rivers and lakes, as the saying goes, walking on the rivers and lakes, who has not yet fallen into trouble, the two of us are not stingy people, if you pass by here, vote for a post, make a friend, one hundred and eighty taels of silver, or take it out, see you in the rivers and lakes in the future, and you can sit down and have a drink." But what you have done today is no longer a matter of a cart of smuggled salt, and you have made a big fight in the downtown area, so that the two of us will not have the face to be in charge? This is the rule of the rivers and lakes that has been broken. ”

The young man said, "This."

It's your rules, not mine. ”

"What are your rules?"

The young man said, "My Lu Qingfeng's rivers and lakes, there are no rules. Or, I, Lu Qingfeng, are the rules!"

It turned out that this young man's name was Lu Qingfeng.

Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, this person is interesting, this arrogant appearance may have a fight with Li Chengcheng. However, when it comes to martial arts, Xiao Jinyan really doesn't see anything unique about him.

Not far away, Zhang Siwen and the people in the rivers and lakes were quite shocked when they heard this name, and they talked to each other for a few words, and they were even more interested in this matter.

The man said, "Lu Qingfeng, it turns out that you are Lu Qingfeng, a rebel of the Jiuhua Sword Sect who raped his master and killed his master?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Some onlookers talked a lot, and a woman said: "Looking at this kid who looks like a human dog, I can't imagine that he can do such a thing as a beast." I borrowed him a bowl of hot water to drink yesterday, and now I am really scared to think about it. ”

A leper said, "People can't look good, Sanniang, with your honor, these two hundred pounds, he wants to do something to you, and he is powerless, haha!"

The woman scolded, "Dead skin, you are talking nonsense, be careful that I tear your mouth and break your life." ”

The leper said, "The root of my life is here, but you are here to get it." Between the words, it is extremely vulgar, but the people in the market are used to it for more pleasure.

Lu Qingfeng's lips were tightly closed, he didn't say a word, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The leader of the man's words was even worse, "I thought that you were just a salt dealer, but I didn't expect that you were still a rebel who everyone got and punished, and we in Stone City couldn't tolerate you." ”

Lu Qingfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Stop!"

"How, dare to do it, don't you dare to let people say it?"

Lu Qingfeng's forehead was exposed, he gasped for breath, and said, "I didn't do it!"

"Did you do it, you go to Hades and say go. The man said, "Brothers, go up together and give the two masters a breath." ”

Everyone rushed up and beckoned to Lu Qingfeng with their blades. I saw that Lu Qingfeng's sword was as one, as fast as lightning, and stabbed at everyone in the field.

What a quick swordsmanship!

Xiao Jinyan exclaimed in his heart, this young man, there was no internal force in the sword, but his speed was so fast that even Xiao Jinyan felt incredible.

Whew!

Three swords in a row.

Lu Qingfeng passed through the crowd, and three people were hit by swords and lay on the ground. Xiao Jinyan saw that these three swords were merciful and did not stab the three people.

"Evil Sect! This kid knows how to demons!"

The man in charge took the lead and rushed forward again, and Lu Qingfeng had the same three swords, so three or four times, these dozen people lay on the ground one after another, moaning constantly.

Yuwenshuang said, "This Lu Qingfeng, over and over again, only has three moves, and it is the most common three-talent swordsmanship, but his sword is too fast, and ordinary martial artists who know the Xuan Chu Realm may not be his opponent." ”

Xiao Jinyan has seen many fast swordsmen, but he is the first person who can have this speed, and even Li Chengcheng can't reach this speed without using internal force.

Lu Qingfeng returned his long sword to the sheath and said, "I have no grievances with you, you guys get out." I don't want to kill. ”

With that, he stuck his sword in the cart and prepared to push the salt cart away.

"Wait!"

At this time, I suddenly heard someone upstairs, "Brother, you hurt my person, just walk away, isn't it appropriate?"
