The candles hanging from the roof were flickering, making the small room flicker and flicker.

Behind the counter sat a man.

The man was in his thirties, his hair was tied up haphazardly, and several strands of hair hung down from his sideburns on his forehead.

He lowered his head, and the shadow covered his face, making it impossible to see his face.

The only two small tables on the first floor were now placed together, and three shirtless men gathered around the table to drink.

The person sitting on the main seat is surnamed Pei Mingqi, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Fat Dragon in the Waves".

The reason why he is called "Fat Dragon" is naturally for a reason.

I saw that this Pei Qi was bloated, extremely obese, and the fat on his chest and abdomen was piled up together, and several folds were clipped, sitting there, motionless like a mountain, like a mountain of meat.

The two sturdy men beside Pei Qi, one on the left and one on the right, are siblings, and they are exactly the same, and the way to tell who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother is to look at the skin color of the two.

The two brothers are surnamed Xiong, so the people in the rivers and lakes call the eldest brother with a red skin color Xiongda, and the second brother with a yellow skin color is called Xionger.

This time, Xiong Daxiong and Xiong two came to look for Pei Qi, just to let this flying dragon in the waves introduce him and join Hongmen.

This Hongmen is a notorious gang that has suddenly emerged in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and in a short period of time, almost everyone in the whole of Chenya County knows about it.

When the people of Chenya County heard the word "Hongmen", they almost all spat at it violently.

But everyone is disgusted and disgusted, but when you really meet someone in Hongmen, even if it's just a little minion, who dares to provoke it?

You must know that Hongmen specializes in taking in those extremely vicious people who have committed murders, and it can be said that they are a nest of bandits, robbers and murderers, and the Nanshang Imperial Court has nothing to do with these guys.

First, the capital is too far away from here, and the troops are on the border, on the way to attack the surrounding small countries, there is no way to manage it, and the security in the inland territory is not those who can be fully competent, you must know that there are a lot of martial arts masters in Hongmen, and it is not a problem to fight a regular army with hundreds of people, so there is no way to take Hongmen at all.

Second, the cultivation world that has the ability to manage, for example, this Modaomen is next to this Chenya County, and it is only a thousand miles away from this Maple Leaf City, but why is there no one in the Modaomen to take care of it?

The answer is to do your job.

The major celebrities in the cultivation world are indeed righteous people, but after all, the manpower is limited, all kinds of goblins and ghosts in the south and north of the world, natural disasters and earthquakes, and crooked ways of evil sects are all existences that mortals cannot compete with, so the cultivation world confronts it, if it is a matter between mortals, the cultivation world has to take action, not to mention whether the big and small things can be dealt with, just say that what is the use of your court?

And this Hongmen is very smart, although everyone in Chenya County is well known, but the scope of their gang activities is always only a few places, and they never provoke dignitaries, that is, those who are really related to the imperial court.

There are also people in the cultivation world, even if they see a forging realm, as long as there is a teacher, whether he wears gold or silver, Hongmen will never provoke.

Because of this, Hongmen didn't make much splash at all, and the people who joined the gang lived more chicly, and they were the real party to blame, and they were the head snakes.

The two brothers, because of the war between the Northern Qi and the Southern Shang, lost their parents and became orphans at the age of twelve or thirteen, so the two brothers have been wandering in the rivers and lakes since they were children, eating a hundred family meals, and after learning a little three-legged cat kung fu, they became dogs under the hands of rich and noble people, and did some work as a gatekeeper.

Two years ago, when they were messing around in the house of a squire surnamed Li, Xiongda and Yuji had an argument with the squire's son.

Not for anything else, but for a woman.

The woman's name is Cuihua, and without going into the twists and turns, in a nutshell, it means that Xiongda beat the squire's son to death for Cuihua.

After that, the squire surnamed Li was naturally furious, but the two brothers had already run away, and then heard that there was a gang in Chenya County that took in a murderer, so he specially came to Maple Leaf City here to find this Langli Fat Dragon named Pei Qi.

At the moment, he was adding a bowl of wine to himself, and then saluted Pei Qi and said to him: "Brother Pei, I have to give you a bowl of wine, if it weren't for Brother Pei taking in my two brothers, it is estimated that we are not sitting here drinking now, but were arrested and imprisoned by the people of the government with a wanted warrant, and the younger brother will do it first as a respect!"

Xiongda immediately drank the bowl of spirits, and then bared his teeth, and his complexion seemed to turn even redder.

Pei Qi looked at Xiongda's bold drinking, thinking that these two brothers were real people, and they were fools to him, and couldn't help but smile.

If you want to enter the Hongmen, you must naturally have a recommender.

As for this recommender, most of them are high-ranking and powerful, like this Pei Qi, who is a cronie under the command of the second gang leader.

If it sounds good, it's called a cronie, and if it's not good, it's just a dog under the feet of the second gang leader of Hongmen.

But even if it is a dog under the feet of the second gang leader, in front of outsiders, it is also a "fat dragon in the waves", and it is even more important for the two brothers in front of him, after all, such a way is not easy to find, right?

So Pei Qi doesn't know how many times he has been the recommender, and the one he earned is called a lot of money.

Although Xiongda Yuji's poor and sour appearance has no oil and water to fish, but since they are all people who are about to enter the Hongmen, what other good people do they need?

Although these two guys seem to be simple-minded, they have hands and feet, are strong, and have a bit of martial arts foundation, so it is not a problem to go anywhere to do that roadblock, and it is not a problem to grab a hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Although for Pei Qi, one hundred and eighty taels of silver is a small amount of money, but fly legs are also meat, not to mention that there is no free lunch in the world, who has ever eaten a pie falling from the sky?

So he laughed, it didn't matter if he didn't laugh, and when he laughed, the flesh on his face was huddled together, and it looked greasy and obscene.

Pei Qi was about to say something to the two brothers, when a bang suddenly sounded, and the wooden door in front of him was kicked open, and the cold autumn wind rushed in all of a sudden, and the three of them who were naked couldn't help but shiver.

I saw a young man in white walking in with a young man and a young girl, as if he didn't see them, he walked straight to the counter, and said to the man with his head down, "Open three first-class rooms." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head, and under the light of the dim candle flame, he could see that his face was crisscrossed with scars, which looked extremely terrifying in this situation.

Pei Qi looked at the young man in white and was obviously stunned, and was sneering in his heart, where did the little bastard come from and was in a hurry to find death?

But then the young man in white came to his senses, put his hand into his arms, and took out a handful of small gold beads, fiddled with them for a long time, and then picked one out and put it on the counter, and then put it back in his arms.

It's like flaunting your wealth.

Pei Qi's already small eyes became smaller when they narrowed, and he really didn't know what the difference was between them and his eyes closed.

He frowned, looking at the boy in white with a sense of shock.

These people who are mixed with the rivers and lakes, each of them is a human spirit, and those with bad brains have long been chopped into eight petals by the enemy.

At this time, he felt that something was wrong with the young man in white, although he was distracted by his opening of the door, but he did not act rashly, watching the young man in white talk to the scar-faced man.

Scarface's eyes moved slightly, looking at the gold bead that could be worth ten taels of silver lying quietly on the counter, and then touched the uneven hard stubble on his chin, and grinned.

His voice was hoarse, and he said, "You know what this place is, right?"

The white-clothed young man put his hands behind his back, pretended to look around, and then asked, "Isn't this an inn?"

The scar-faced man laughed even more happily when he heard this, and his hoarse voice laughed as if he was coughing with something stuck in his throat, which was a little unpleasant.

He smiled, "Cheng." ”

As he spoke, the scar-faced man looked at the keychain, ripped off the three keys and handed them to the young man in white, saying, "Three, four, five, on the second floor." ”

He took the three keys and went upstairs with the boy and the girl.

Pei Qi knew very well in his heart, the stairs on the second floor were on the right hand side of the door, the counter was on the left hand side, and he was in the middle, and these three people had to pass through themselves if they wanted to go upstairs.

I saw that the young man in white walked in front without fear, and the man behind had an indifferent face, but the little girl was timid and weak, hiding next to the man's right hand.

Seeing that the three people arrived at the staircase, Pei Qi spoke.

I only heard him say, "Wait." ”

Before the words fell, the young man in white had already stopped, and then turned his head to look at Pei Qi, only to see him with a puzzled face, pointing at himself and saying, "Are you calling me?"

Pei Qi smiled, and then he saw that the young man in white looked at him with disgust in his eyes, which made him instantly angry, he hated the eyes of others looking at him the most in his life, but he suppressed his anger, but did not show it on the surface, but said as gently as possible: "That's right, this little friend, meeting is fate, the autumn night is cold, why not stop, drink a glass of wine together, warm up." ”

The young man in white immediately replied, "I don't drink. But he moved a chair from the side, placed it opposite Pei Qi, sat down steadily, and lifted Erlang's legs, crossed his arms, and looked like he was underdrawn.

The man with an indifferent face stood behind the young man in white, while the little girl hid behind the man.

Pei Qi thought to himself: Stinky boy, you'd better really have a backer, otherwise Qi Ye will have to take off one of your legs.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled and shouted: "Lao Bai, this little friend can't drink, make a pot of tea." ”

At this time, the scar-faced man sitting at the counter stood up without saying a word, turned around and took a small box from the shelf, blew the soot, opened it, and grabbed a handful of tea leaves of unknown variety from it, and threw it into the kettle next to it.

The kettle was kept in the blazing stove, and the water in the kettle was boiling, so it made a gurgling sound.

In this somewhat pleasant sound of water, Pei Qi looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him with a smile and asked, "I don't know your surname?"

The young man in white put his feet directly on the table, very arrogant, only to hear him say: "Don't be expensive, surnamed Luo, by the way, tell me my name, called Liangqiu." ”

"My name is Luo Liangqiu. ”
