Backed by the rolling Meishan Mountain, Meizhou is located on the edge of the Meijiang River, which winds around the entire Meizhou city in a zigzag shape. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Unlike most cities, Meizhou does not have a city wall, but is more like a fang market, with many shops, inns, and restaurants in the city, and many residents here do business.

Meizhou merchants are quite famous in the entire Jiangnan region.

This is the distribution center of Meishan resources, because the waterway is developed, take this as a starting point, so there are many traders, with the passage of time, these Meizhou merchants have gradually walked out of the mountainous Meizhou area, to the south of the Yangtze River, and even to the Central Plains.

Of course, without the most support of force, these traders would not have gone that far.

Martial arts prevail in Meizhou, the people of the mountainous areas, strong and good at fighting, although not to the extent of life and death fighting without a word, but not much worse, in Meizhou, there is a kind of building of the tower of life and death, if the two sides have a grudge, they will sign the paperwork, enter the tower of life and death together, two people enter, one person comes out, and the death is endless.

In Meizhou, there is the Meishan station.

The so-called Meishan is one of the thirteen mountains, this sect is more powerful than Fuchun Mountain, and among the thirteen mountains, it can be regarded as the top three sects.

The disciples of this sect are good at swordsmanship, and they are also known as the Meishan Sword School.

Therefore, after entering Meizhou, Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er mostly saw the figure of a warrior with a long sword on his shoulder on the long street, and some guys even carried double swords on their shoulders, but they carried several short swords around their waists.

The mysterious place that Gu Xiaozhao was going to was near Meizhou.

Where the specific location is, Su Qiaoer doesn't know, she just got an address from her father Su Zhiwei, saying that it is a contact point, and she must get the contact point to find the intermediary, say the code words, hand over the token, and then channel the mysterious place under the arrangement of the intermediary.

It is said that the mysterious place is not open all year round, and it is only possible to enter it through a special method at a special time.

In the past, Su Qiaoer still felt that her father Su Zhiwei was a bit alarmist and pretended to be mysterious.

After experiencing the mysterious incident at the ferry a few days ago, Su Qiao'er no longer thought like this, and at this time, she already understood that she really didn't know much about this world.

No. 73, Linhe Street, south of the city, Du's coffin shop.

In Meizhou, the streets and alleys have names, and the shops and residences also have house numbers, which are similar to those on the earth, which is different from other cities, and if this is a government move, it also proves that the imperial court has a very strong control over Meizhou.

It's a pity that this is spontaneous among the people, and it was done by the Meishan Sword School.

In other words, compared with the government, the Meishan Sword School has a greater presence in Meizhou.

Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er entered Meizhou from the wharf on the west side, and came from upstream by a canopy boat, with several merchants on the same boat, a middle-aged couple who came to Meizhou to visit relatives, and two or three Jianghu guests with weapons.

The canopy boat is not big, as a passenger ship sailing on the Meijiang River, the passenger capacity is only about 20 people, the boatman on the boat has only two or three sons, a long sword is engraved on the side of the ship, the pattern carved on the hilt of the sword is plum blossoms, which is the symbol of the Meishan sword school.

This means that the passenger ship is covered by the Meishan Sword Sect.

Gu Xiaozhao was dressed as a study touring scholar, and Su Qiaoer was dressed as a maid, after leaving the ferry, she passed through the state and county for a few days along the way, and her luck seemed to have become extremely good, and she came to Meizhou very smoothly without any trouble.

However, after arriving at the destination, when I stepped on the Meizhou wharf, there was a little trouble at the door.

On the pier, there is a checkpoint similar to a sentry, you have to pass through a torii and the like to leave the pier and enter Meizhou, under the archway, there is a wooden table, behind the wooden table, there is a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, and on the wooden table is placed a document like a notepad.

Behind the scribes were several warriors with long swords on their shoulders, dressed in uniform black shirts and with a small sword carved on their left chest with plum blossoms on the hilt.

A small queue formed on the dock, and the scribe had to pass through the wooden table to be questioned by the scribe, who then bowed his head and wrote a few lines on the paperwork, and was allowed to leave.

"What's going on?"

"We came to Meizhou last month, but we didn't encounter this situation, is the Meishan Sword Sect catching some Jiangyang thief, right?"

Several merchants on the ship lined up in front of Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er, talking in a low voice.

Behind Su Qiao'er, there were those few Jianghu guests, at this moment, the expression on his face was somewhat solemn, his eyes were also a little flickering, and he looked around from time to time.

Gu Xiaozhao could clearly sense that nervous emotion.

Behind the Jianghu guests was the middle-aged couple, their expressions were somewhat cringe, their eyes were panicked, as if they were afraid that the city gate would catch fire and be affected by the pond fish.

Is this a sign that something is going to happen?

Under the archway, someone approached the wooden table, and the scribe whispered a few questions, and then asked the man to spread his hands, and then he took a brush on the table, dipped a little cinnabar on the tray, and recited the strange incantation with words in his mouth, and then lightly touched the palm of the target's hand.

When he did this, the warriors with swords on their shoulders behind him stared nervously at the person who was dotted with a red mark on the palm of his hand with a brush, and after two or three breaths, he saw that the target person was not abnormal, so he waved his hand to let him leave, and then, his eyes fell on the next person.

It's supposed to be some sort of probing method, and it's not known what it's probing.

Gu Xiaozhao, like Su Qiao'er, has been going out for the first time in more than ten years of life, although he has gained some experience from some guards and stewards who have been away all the year round, and has also heard some secrets, he still has less knowledge after all.

The few merchants in front of Gu Xiaozhao should often come and go to Meizhou, and the people on the dock are more familiar with them, even so, they still can't avoid this level, and their palms are still red dotted with brushes.

Gu Xiaozhao took a closer look, the red dot was like a drop of red blood, the red light penetrated into the skin, and the target person also lit up like a light bulb, and after a breath, it was randomly extinguished. This should be to check if the other party is contaminated with any breath, if it is normal, the red light will also dissipate.

Of course, ordinary people don't see this scene.

Gu Xiaozhao directly gathered his divine thoughts, and only then did he feel when his thoughts were released, and those people standing under the archway should not be able to do this, they used some kind of pupil technique.

Those few merchants were not abnormal, and they were quickly let go, and next, it was Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er's turn.

"Young master, I'll ...... first"

Su Qiao'er said softly.

"Hmm!"

Gu Xiaozhao nodded and stopped.

Su Qiao'er, who was originally standing two steps behind Gu Xiaozhao, was also ready to stride forward, and walked past Gu Xiaozhao's position towards the archway, where the middle-aged scribe and several disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect were staring at them with serious expressions, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Gu Xiaozhao frowned slightly, and then turned around.

At the same time, the disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect under the archway flew up like big birds, rushing towards Gu Xiaozhao's side, and when they were in the air, they only heard a soft roar, and the long sword behind their shoulders was unsheathed together and automatically flew into their hands.

Behind Gu Xiaozhao, those few Jianghu guests rioted.

One of them stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Qiao'er, which meant to take Su Qiao'er as a hostage, while the other two rushed into the crowd left and right, and the last person turned around and pounced on the couple behind them. These four Jianghu guests seem to have a lot of experience, and they are almost in trouble at the same time.

They roared loudly as they erupted.

"Black bee thieves, idlers get out!"

Black bee thieves?

Although Gu Xiaozhao has not seen much, he is not lonely, but he has also heard of the famous black bee thief, this is a group of mysterious bandits, no one knows where the nest of this group of bandits is, nor does they know their organization and contact information, they have caused a lot of trouble, and there was once a family that was far more powerful than the Gu family was wiped out under the attack of these guys.

Naturally, the government sent people to encircle and suppress it, and most of them lost their troops and lost their generals.

The main force fighting against this group of bandits is still a sect and family like the Meishan Sword Sect, after all, these sects and families control power, and naturally have to uphold the rules they make, and the so-called black bee thieves want to snatch the power in their hands, so they ignore the rules and advocate violence.

These black bee thieves don't know what they entered Meizhou for?

The target of the Meishan Sword Sect disciples under the archway is not known if it is this group of people?

For a while, Gu Xiaozhao naturally couldn't find the answer.

Su Qiao'er didn't expect someone to attack her suddenly, the black bee thief who grabbed her was a martial artist who had opened up the next Sunday, and when she started, her true qi changed, and a cyan giant wolf pounced towards Su Qiao'er, in such a short time, Su Qiao'er didn't have time to deal with it at all.

Her true qi was still circulating in her body, and she fell into an illusion.

At this time, she didn't have time to lay a true qi film on the outside of her body, and she was taken by the momentum of the cyan giant wolf, and her heart swayed, and she couldn't resist it.

On the other side, a long sword broke through the air.

The sword light shone brightly, turning into a six-petal plum blossom, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

The target of this sword was the black bee thief, and then, on the way, Su Qiao'er blocked it, but the other party's sword did not have the slightest scruples. In the mind of that disciple of the Meishan Sword Sect, Su Qiao'er was nothing, and it was inevitable to sacrifice a certain amount in order to kill the enemy.

At this moment, Gu Xiaozhao grabbed forward.

He grabbed Su Qiao'er's wrist and pulled it to his side, his whole figure flashed, and he retreated three feet away in an instant.

The plum blossoms landed on top of the green wolf's head, and a howl of pain echoed in the air.

The huge green wolf silently disappeared, and so did the plum blossoms, like snowflakes shining under the sun.

However, the True Qi shot out in all directions, like flying shards of glass.

On the dock, there are many ordinary people, among them, there are gray-haired elderly people with impaired mobility, and there are also children with smiling faces on their faces.

The so-called gods fight, and mortals suffer.

In the eyes of the gods, the so-called mortals are nothing more than ants!
