Tongchuan Mansion, since ancient times, has been located in the north, echoing with the Kuyan Pass two hundred miles away, like a pair of big chela, the herdsmen on the grassland firmly block the middle earth outside the territory.

After the founding of the country, Dahong paid more attention to the trouble of the grassland than all dynasties, and went north four times, and the farthest army simply penetrated the grassland, all the way to the ice wasteland in the far north, and all the big tents on the grassland surrendered.

In the past 100 years, Tongchuan and Kuyan have not been at war, and they have gradually changed from important military towns to border trade distribution places. Although it is not as beautiful as the Jiangnan Prefecture and is not as prosperous as the inland prefecture, these two border passes also have a unique exotic style.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered, and a carriage drove on the official road, Liang Xin drove, and Qu Qingmo sat in the car. It has been more than ten days since they set out from Kunai Mountain.

Tongchuan Mansion was in sight, Liang Xin, who was sitting in front, touched the gold in his arms, suddenly laughed, turned his head and lowered his voice very low, and said to Qu Qingmo: "Do you know no, the gold that the second brother gave me...... Thirty taels, that's a lot of money!"

After speaking, one hand firmly covered his pocket, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

You must know the market at that time, one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, and one stone of rice is one hundred and eighty catties, so that one tael of silver is three hundred and sixty catties of rice.

Ten taels of silver, enough for a small family to live for a year, the Dahong currency system is one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and thirty taels of gold is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people.

Qu Qingmo was already depressed, but after listening to Liang Xin's words, he became even more angry, and muttered and scolded: "Stingy ghost!

Liang Xin had never used money before, and he didn't know the benefits of gold and silver until he went out this time, but he was different from the doll who suddenly had money in his pocket and squandered it wantonly, and he always held his money bag tightly, which can only be described as stingy.

While talking, the carriage entered the city, Liu Yi had already arranged all the details on the road, and it didn't take much trouble for them to enter Tongchuan Mansion, find the inn Liang Xin gritted his teeth and rented a suite with two entrances inside and outside, and after settling down, the two of them happily went shopping on the street.

Qingmo imagined as a chubby middle-aged man, with a face full of oil, commensurate with Liang Xin's uncle and nephew.

This time Liang Xin was surprisingly generous, as soon as he went out, he bought a bag of pine nut candy for Qu Qingmo, which made the girl very happy, and after eating a few pieces, she remembered that she was now a middle-aged fat man, and it was really not good to go shopping with a bag of candy so swaggeringly, so she suddenly realized that she threw the candy into Liang Xin's hand with a huff......

It was early autumn, when the border trade was prosperous, and the streets were lively, there were Han people in China, barbarians on the grassland, and some red-haired and blue-eyed Hu people.

Tiancemen is a local gang, famous in Tongchuan Mansion, the main altar is located in the city of Iron Shoes Street, is a prosperous place, Liang Xin has not had time to find someone to inquire, wandering around as soon as he looks up and finds it.

"Pounce, Huo!"

"Ti, Huo!"

"Turn, Huo!"

....... burst of majestic shouts came from it, nearly 100 young men in the courtyard were practicing boxing under the order of the head of the sect, and they had their own might, Tiancemen deliberately recruited disciples, and Zhumen was wide open, allowing outsiders to enter and observe.

Liang Xin smiled when he saw it, and their practice was clearly one of their housekeeping skills: Taizu Changquan.

On the other side of the courtyard, the stone brick floor was covered with thick loess, and dozens of other big men were constantly fighting each other, this time even Qu Qingmo was happy, those Tiance disciples practiced Liang Xin's second stunt: the art of kneading and falling.

Qu Qingmo smiled at Liang Xin: "If you look inside, maybe there are still people who practice archery." "Her transfiguration is a spell, and everything from her appearance to her voice is flawless.

As soon as the words fell, an old man next to him who was watching the excitement said casually: "Of course there are archery, Tiance Sect teaches to practice technical strikes, from boxing and sword to bow and archery, everything is proficient!" Then the old man whispered to the two of them: "It seems that the two of you are not characters on the rivers and lakes, like the two of you just now, pointing and laughing at the drill of Tiance Gate, but it is very inappropriate." ”

Liang Xin didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, but when the old man said it, he also felt that he was a little rude just now, and when he looked up, there were a few people who looked like they were standing in the courtyard with their hands behind their backs, looking at them coldly, Liang Xin hurriedly smiled at them, and his face was full of apologies.

The old man smiled again: "It's okay, as long as it's not a troublemaker, Tiancemen won't hurt people indiscriminately, just care about it next time." ”

Maybe it's a bloodline problem, although the old man looks like a Han man, his eyes are yellow, so he gets the nickname Lao Mao. His family has settled in Tongchuan for several generations, living in Iron Shoes Street, relying on the street to be familiar with people to run and be a broker (middleman), Tongchuan Mansion has many outsiders, the old cat is specially looking for outsiders to talk to on weekdays, one to solve boredom, and the other can also look to see if there is a suitable errand.

The old cat is a professional accosting, Liang Xin is afraid that he can't find someone to talk to, and after talking for a while, the two of them will be familiar with each other, and the old cat will ask: "You two, are you coming to Tongchuan for business, or to visit relatives?"

Liang Xinda had made up a lie since ten days ago, and after mentioning his origin twice, he said that his uncle and nephew wanted to find a store and open a restaurant.

The old cat's yellow eyes turned a few times, and he muttered: "This street is prosperous, and most of the shops are doing well, but I know a storefront, and the owner wants to go back to his hometown so he wants to sell it out, but the price is really not low." ”

Liang Xin immediately touched the gold in his arms without any interest, frowned and asked, "How much do you get?"

The old cat smiled: "I'm not the owner, of course I want to take you to see the shop, and then negotiate the price with others when you fall in love!" That being said, the person stood on the ground, and had no intention of leaving.

Liang Xin understood what the old cat meant after a little pondering, and asked with a smile: "How much is the commission?"

After some bargaining, the two sides agreed on the price of the commission, in addition to finding a shop on the iron shoe street, the government registration, looking for a cook and many other trivial things are also handed over to the old cat to do, Tongchuan folk customs are simple, this small commission can only be agreed orally.

The old cat picked up a business, naturally happy, and immediately took Liang Xin to see the shop, at this moment, a rumbling drum suddenly sounded in the Tiance Gate, and most of the people who were coming and going at the door were excited, and they flocked into the big courtyard of Tiance Gate to see the excitement.

The old cat smiled and explained to them: "Tiance Gate has to put out a military formation with its disciples on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but it is really lively, today coincides with the fifteenth, you have just arrived in the local area, if you are not in a hurry to see the shop, you might as well go and see." ”

Liang Xin was very excited, but Qu Qingmo was not interested in this kind of mortal confrontation, so he took the old cat to see the shop first, leaving Liang Xin to stay in Tiance Gate to watch the 'show'.

After the old cat and Qu Qingmo left, Liang Xin chatted with others again, pretending to mention the old cat unintentionally, and saw that everyone said that this old man had an excellent reputation, so he was relieved.

......

Tiancemen mobilized four hundred disciples to practice the military formation, although the number is small, but the essence of the formation, first the armor array, then the sharp front array, and then there are bow and crossbow attacks, horse rejection attacks, hook and sickle attacks and other battle formations, the more the drill is more exciting, Liang Xin and a group of idlers are dazzled, and they keep cheering loudly.

At dusk, all the formations were practiced one by one, and with the shouting of the teaching of the palm period, the disciples of the Four Hundred Heavenly Ce Sect retreated with a bang, Liang Xin thought that the performance was over, but when he looked back, the locals around him not only did not disperse, but their faces became more and more excited.

Liang Xin wondered in his heart and asked an idler next to him: "What, is there still a military formation?"

The idle man smiled and nodded: "There is one last battle, and it is also the main event, the beast attack!" As he spoke, the disciples who had just withdrawn ran back into the field, each with an extra iron net in their hands.

As soon as the instructor in charge of the flag waved the flag, the sound of the machine sounded, and huge iron cages slowly rose from the ground of the Tiancemen compound, and then the beasts roared, and the momentum was shocking!

Tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, snakes, rhinos...... All kinds of beasts are running left and right in the cage, and at first sight they show their fangs!

The crowd of onlookers retreated one after another, leaving them a larger open space, and there was another thunderous sound of war drums, and a special disciple opened the control cage door, and hundreds of fierce beasts immediately pounced out, roaring and running in all directions.

The Zhangqi Sect shouted: "Attack!" The four hundred disciples moved when they heard the sound, and the three-person team and the five-person group seemed scattered but scattered, flying up and down one by one, capturing the beasts that wanted to escape and hurt people one by one, and the movements were clean and neat, which showed that they were well-trained.

The audience had obviously seen this formation many times before, cheering wave after wave, loudly applauding for the Tiance disciples, but Liang Xin's eyes widened fiercely after the initial surprise.

Among the hundred beasts, there is a thin little monkey, whose tail is cut off by Qi Gen, but his coat is clear, and his two big eyes are orange and yellow, which is clearly a heavenly ape that is still in its infancy! The heavenly ape is the 'specialty' of Kunai Mountain, they have ancestral training as the head, and they are not allowed to leave the mountain, Liang Xin can't understand, how can this little thing be here?

The expression of the little ape was panicked, and he ran and jumped in a hurry in the herd, because his tail was broken, and he could not grasp the balance well, and he would fall down with one foot when he ran a few steps, and his appearance was depressed and pitiful, but it caused the audience to laugh out loud. The disciples of Tiance Sect seem to have deliberately kept this gimmick, constantly intimidating and driving away the little guy, but they refused to directly arrest it.

Liang Xin was in the Monkey Valley, and the heavenly apes got along day and night for five years, almost treating them as the same kind, seeing the little thing suffering, he gritted his teeth hard to hold back the idea of making a move, and the idea in his heart was to wait until tonight, and then come to rescue it.

But the little ape ran and ran, suddenly stopped, sniffed vigorously with his fluffy little head up, and his little face bloomed with a sense of happiness, grievance, sadness, and ecstasy to find his relatives!
