Lijiang County, also known as Lijiang City, belongs to Wuzhou, Dongyue Kingdom, named after a Lijiang River running through the city, is the second largest city in Wuzhou after Jinshan County, where the state pastoral government is located, but compared with Jinshan County as the state pastoral government, Lijiang City because of the Lijiang River connection to the sea, the waterway basin is developed, and the trade is greatly prosperous.

This also makes the city of Li River far more prosperous than Jinshan County in terms of commerce and prosperity, not only in Wuzhou, but even in the entire Dongyue Kingdom, the name of Li River City is also well known, and even some neighboring countries have great dealings with this city in waterway trade.

When Lei Luo's family came to a hill outside the city of the Li River, they saw a white horse crossing the city, the lake was sparkling, beautiful and abnormal, presumably the famous Li River in the East Yue Kingdom.

When approaching the city gate, everyone saw the magnificent city wall tens of meters high, and the main road where five or six carriages could be placed side by side, and the young Lei Luo was shocked.

While waiting in line at the city gate, Lei Luo saw more than one luxury carriage passing through the main road in the city, and some men in brocade uniforms passed through the city gate without hindrance.

From Lao Lei's mouth, I learned that these are the disciples and deacons of the big families in the city, they are wearing brocade robes, and most of them have waist cards that symbolize their status, and these people are also the real big people in Lijiang City.

Most of the objects of the city gate guards are ordinary people, displaced refugees, etc., in order to prevent thieves from mixing in it, which is not good for the city, or collecting customs duties from the traders, etc., these children of the family are naturally not traders and civilians, so there is no such step.

After waiting at the gate of the city for half an hour, Lei Luo's family finally stepped into the famous Lijiang City in Dongyue after paying the guards to enter the city, and this is also their family's future home.

At this time, Lao Lei walked in the city for half an hour with Lei Luo and his entourage according to his previous memory, and came to the door of an inn, and the plaque on the door of this inn reads "Laifu Inn".

The child at the door of the store saw that Lei Luo's family was dressed simply, and his eyes were very contemptuous, although he reluctantly helped them carry their luggage, but he didn't complain in his heart.

Lao Lei said that he was going to visit an old friend, so he entered the inn first, and the old friend he was going to visit was said to be the shopkeeper of the inn.

The shopkeeper of the Laifu Inn is surnamed Chen, a man who is about the same age as Lao Lei, and the difference between Lao Lei is that this shopkeeper has a ruddy complexion and a slightly chubby figure, giving people a look of being amiable to everyone.

When Lao Lei came out with this shopkeeper Chen, he called Lei Luo to come over to get to know him, and at his signal, Lei Luo shouted "Hello Uncle Chen," and Shopkeeper Chen also replied with a smile, "Hello nephew." ”

After settling down, Lao Lei sat down with Shopkeeper Chen and chatted, most of the content of the conversation was gossip and interesting stories in Lijiang County over the years, and Lei Luo was also listening to these carefully.

After chatting for a while, Lao Lei finally explained his intentions, saying that he had been restless outside all these years, so he wanted to find a stable place to live in the county town, and had a peaceful birthday, and entrusted Shopkeeper Chen to help see if there was a better mansion for sale.

In the evening, in the inn, Lao Lei took Lei Luo to eat dinner, chatting about the news he heard during the day, and went through everything he knew about Lijiang County over the years, and at the same time secretly warned Lei Luo that this is Lijiang City, not other places, don't go out to make trouble.

From Lao Lei's mouth, I learned that the shopkeeper Chen of this Laifu Inn and Lao Lei used to be good brothers of a big trading house, and the name of the business house was Baibao Commercial Bank, which was the leading commercial house in Lijiang City, and Laifu Inn included many other industries that belonged to this commercial house.

And the proprietor of the trading house, the Bai family, one of the several major families in Lijiang City, learned from Lao Lei's mouth that the biggest forces in Lijiang City are these families, and the Lijiang County Shou is also one of the four major families, the Su family, these families can be said to be in Lijiang County, not that ordinary people can climb together.

The entire Lijiang County has also been divided into several forces by these families, and there are many martial arts gangs, inn merchants, etc. under each family, but because of these families, ordinary people can live a stable life as long as they do not offend these families and touch their interests.

Hearing this, Lei Luo also secretly remembered that as for whether he would be offended, he didn't dare to guarantee the future.

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper Chen came to inform Lao Lei that the matter of the house was already in sight, and it was near the main road of the Li River, at the entrance of a tributary, and there was a fairly large house for sale.

The original owner of this house, it is said that he was a civil servant of the county guard's office, some time ago he suddenly fell seriously ill, and handed his resignation to the county guard's office to return to his hometown to recuperate, and the house was vacant.

The family was accustomed to living in a thatched house, and when they saw such a big house, their eyes were glazed, so they entrusted the shopkeeper Chen to go to the business bank to complete the formalities that afternoon, and after paying the silver taels, Lao Lei's family also moved in.

Seeing Lei Luo take out the gold and silver treasures of white flowers from the box, Lao Lei even boasted that his son had grown up and had the ability, and he was excited for a while.

......

In this way, Lei Luo's family settled down in this Lijiang City, enjoying themselves every day, and in the blink of an eye, winter went to spring, and three years have passed.

In the past three years, Lei Luo has practiced martial arts in the courtyard every day, his goal is to practice the Tiger Strength Sword Technique, fists and feet, and internal strength and heart methods to the realm of integration, and he will occasionally visit some local martial arts halls, and spend some silver taels to learn a few fists and feet Kung Fu, but every time he goes to the martial arts hall, Lei Luo does not expose his internal strength cultivation.

The martial arts hall is also all a child in a wealthy local businessman, at the age of playing, he started to dream of being a chivalrous guest, and he also taught some swords, guns, sticks, and Qimen secret weapon move experience, and no one would have thought that a half-old child was actually a master of internal strength.

In the past three years, Lei Luo's moves and mental techniques have been improving every day, and he has also grown taller, and now if he doesn't look carefully, he thinks he is a hardcover young man, and his size is about to catch up with an adult.

But it may be because of the bitterness, Lei Luo's skin is still dark, and his appearance is still that ordinary, even if he has eaten well and dressed warmly in the past three years, he has not changed at all, if he doesn't say that others really think he is a child of a peasant family.

And his father, Lao Lei, at the suggestion of Lei Luo, went to ask the shopkeeper Chen in the first year of his coming, and after spending a lot of silver taels to dredge up the relationship, he got a deacon's errand in the original trading house, managing several people every day, and running a few small shops, and his life was quite rich.

Especially in the second year, Lao Lei got another little son, the family was happy, and the sister was also in the county under the mediation of the shopkeeper Chen and a private school in the county Xiucai said goodbye, for which Lao Lei also posted a lot of dowry, and bought a slightly smaller house for his son-in-law near his home.

Every day looking at the smile on Lao Lei Chunfeng's face, as well as the happy smile on Sister A's face, Lei Luo feels that he has gained too much in this life.
