Chapter 42 Liujiazhuang
Less than ten miles out of Lingyan County, is Liujiazhuang, today is the seventy-third birthday of the old lady Liu Li, and now the carriages and horses are all high-rollers coming and going, carrying red gifts in their hands, needless to say, they are all going to celebrate their birthdays. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not a coincidence, anyway, the old lady Liu has never held a birthday banquet, because this old man's martial arts are mediocre, his reputation is not obvious, and he was paralyzed in bed more than 20 years ago, and what really made Liujiazhuang famous was his three sons, known as Liuxia Sanxiong.
Perhaps for the occasion, there are also preferences, and the large manor covering an area of 100 acres is surrounded by willow trees, hiding the entire Liujiazhuang deep inside.
In the hundreds of years that the Xue clan was in charge, these martial arts villages on the ground of Danfan Lingyan were almost like turtles with shrunken heads, trying to keep their low profile, guarding the one-third of an acre and not daring to be too loud.
However, it is precisely because of this, in addition to the top ten villages headed by the Xue family, the private fights between the rest of the martial arts are never stopped, perhaps to prove that he is not the grandson of the turtle, he naturally does not dare to shout, and he shouts very loudly for other martial arts with similar strength, not today I will bring a few boats of Zhuang Ke to your house to have a big fight, it is a powerful son, one person holds a sword and guards the intersection, killing the other party does not dare to go out, and finally has to cede dozens of acres of spiritual land, and calm the people.
A glimpse of the overall situation can be seen, in this small river and lake in Jiangbei, in addition to interests, there are also ethnic groups that have traversed thousands of years and have been fighting with oriental characteristics.
Even those old people who have lived for most of their lives can't see through it, why it is often just a quarrel of one or two sentences, which will turn into a big fight in several manors, anyway, that breath just can't swallow, not to mention that it is difficult for people with the same surname to have one heart, let alone people with foreign surnames?
According to the measurement of the cage unity point, if the Nanjian Sect is divided into a first-class force, then Qingfeng Mountain can barely squeeze into the third-rate, after all, it is also a sect with a grandmaster, there are no less than five elders in Dingqi alone, and many outstanding disciples under the sect are often ranked on the Qingyun list, although it may not be long, and they are often screened down, but at least it is a symbol.
There are many forces like Qingfeng Mountain in the entire southern martial arts, and what supports their survival is to take over business, in addition to disciple tuition fees and some industries.
Zhao Jingou came to Liujiazhuang this time to see if he could do business with them, of course, in addition to the representatives of forces like him, there were also many Jianghu rangers who came to congratulate him, without him, just begging for a living, as for whether he can stay in the end, it depends on his own ability, anyway, as long as it is an individual, there is a price.
"Qingfeng Mountain, Zhao Jingou, Zhao Shaoxia, wish the old lady Liu happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. ”
As early as when Yan Lai and his party appeared, it attracted a lot of attention, after all, this car full of gifts, it looked very sassy, and now when I heard the identity of Zhao Jingou, there were a lot of heated discussions around.
"After the Wuhu Gang and Sihaitang, Qingfeng Mountain is also here, it seems that Liujiazhuang has gained a lot of momentum this time. ”
"What's more, as early as half an hour ago, the people from Yuliu Villa and the White Horse Gang arrived. ”
"Brother Zhao is here, and he is far away, forgive his sins. A handsome man with a good demeanor came first, and it could be seen that he was also busy withdrawing.
Zhao Jingou smiled slightly, and bowed: "On the day of great joy, what a crime, Brother Chengfeng has not seen him for many days, and his demeanor is still the same." ”
Liu Chengfeng, the eldest of the three heroes under Liuxia, and the eldest son of Liu Yijian.
Liujiazhuang seems to be one, in fact, the three families have their own industries, adhering to the principle of handling small things by themselves and discussing major matters together, the three brothers have their profits and gold, which is why there is the rise of Liujiazhuang today, which can be regarded as a new force gang around Lingyan County, and the whole Liujia family gives people the feeling that it is like this, vigorous and energetic.
These are all things that Zhao Jingou needs to observe here, after all, the storm is coming, and under the general trend, you can see many things that you can't see at ordinary times, such as people's hearts.
Liu Chengfeng is also well-known in the Jiangbei area, he is only twenty-six years old, he has crossed the threshold of the fifth grade, and is impacting the fourth grade, and most importantly, he is a student of the Xue family's sword hall, and he has studied sword in the sword hall for three years.
Xue's sword hall is not only in Jiangbei, even if the entire martial arts is famous, has always been open to the outside world, but it is still different from the sect, more like a school, as long as you pass the entrance test, after paying a certain amount of money, you can enter the study, for only three years, good performance can become the Xue family's guest qing, enjoy a lot of treatment, this rule has existed since the Xue family took root in Jiangbei, because the Xue family's nine-character swordsmanship ranks second in Dayu's kendo martial arts, second only to the sword scripture of Yuhua Jiantai.
Therefore, it is no accident that the Xue family can respond to all calls in Jiangbei, and in terms of heritage, it is not just a matter of looking at the relationship on the surface.
"Brother Zhao, you are really too wasteful, ashamed, ashamed. ”
Seeing that the cart full of gifts was taken down by the dealer and marked with a red stripe, Liu Chengfeng didn't expect Qingfeng Mountain to show his attitude so quickly, he knew that in this way, he should have asked his father to come out to greet him.
Speaking of the reception of this birthday banquet at the moment, in fact, there are a lot of doorways, it stands to reason that the father is a birthday, and at least one person must stand outside to greet the guests, which shows that the host is enthusiastic, but this time both Liujiazhuang and the representatives of the forces who came to congratulate the birthday know that the birthday is a gift, and it is true to observe each other, so this bit of human space, it is better to have some distance, so as not to fail to cooperate in the end, and there will be many embarrassments.
Zhao Jingou naturally knew that he would release some kind of signal if he brought so many gifts to the door, but he smiled, and after enjoying the appearance of the sao bag, he began to explain: "Brother Liu doesn't have to be polite, most of them are purchased by Zhao's three friends. ”
Liu Chengfeng looked at Yan Lai and the others, although there were many doubts in his mind, he still maintained the enthusiasm he should have in his words: "Haha, Brother Zhao's friend is Liu's friend..."
After informing each other of their identities, they led four people in, and behind them, there were more than a dozen people who helped carry the gifts, and when they entered the birthday banquet hall, they inevitably attracted the private discussions of the guests, after all, such a swagger is still rare.
The lively venue is more noisy because of the big stage set up on the left and right, from time to time there are applause, there are many gambling tables outside the banquet, for the guests to entertain themselves, into Liujiazhuang, whether it is food, clothing or housing and transportation do not have to worry about you, naturally there is a host arrangement, as for the show, they will work hard, after all, it is necessary to put it for three days in a row, it can't just eat and drink.
Although Yan Lai is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but now that he is walking through in front of everyone, he is no longer reserved, and he shows a happy and proud look - anyway, he has spent so much money and enjoys a little vanity, not too much.
Outside the hall, the birthday star, who has been paralyzed for more than 20 years, sits on a big chair to accept the congratulations of the new guests, and the important figures of Liujiazhuang, including Yanagishita Sanxiong, are basically nearby.
Liu Yijian, Liu Erdao, Liu Sanxiong, maybe Liu Li continued his dream of unfinished rivers and lakes, and the names given to his three sons also showed his intentions, in fact, it was not easy for Liuxia Sanxiong to bring Liujiazhuang to today, and it was difficult for outsiders to be humane in the past few decades.
The three brothers are not only similar in age, but they are all siblings of the same mother, and their faces are indeed similar at first glance, but after life experience, there are always differences in style and demeanor, Liu Yijian is relatively elegant, Liu Erdao is more heroic, as for Liu Sanxiong, he is more like a rich man, but there is not much Jianghu atmosphere.
A few years ago, Liu Yijian took Liu Chengfeng to visit Qingfeng Mountain, and it was Zhao Jingou's reception at that time, so he naturally had the impression that since Qingfeng Mountain was willing to send someone, even if he didn't make a choice, at least he showed his intention, so he took the initiative to greet him.
After greeting each other, Liu Yijian was even more sure that Qingfeng Mountain's intention was still very strong, at least Zhao Jingou, as a representative, did not mind showing familiarity in front of heroes from all walks of life, so it was even more time to welcome into the inner hall.
"It turned out to be a young hero from Lingnan, and the old man remembered that the Ning family of Cangzhou was a first-class family in the Cangwu County Mansion, could it be that Ning Xian's nephew's own family?"
"I'm ashamed, how can the land of Xiazhou be compared to Jiangnan. ”
Yan Lai made up an identity for himself, it is definitely not groundless, at least three or four points true, the Ning family is indeed a little famous in Cangzhou, but it is limited to this, not to mention that when the Yan family was in its heyday, he often went to Lingnan, and he was a little involved in the customs and family relations over there, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
Liu Yibian didn't really take the children of the Lingnan Xiazhou clan to heart, for the sake of coming with Zhao Jingou, he was more polite, so he didn't treat them as those uninvited rangers, and still let people arrange a good position.
Since it was determined that they wanted to cooperate with Zhao Jingou, the two discussed the relationship on the surface on the way here, and there was no need to be too familiar, on the surface, they still met in Pingshui, but it was just a temporary speculation, and they each had the intention of making friends, so in the eyes of the Liu family, he was still the Lingnan son who came out to see the world and made more friends by the way.
Zhao Jingou naturally wanted to enter the inner hall and sit down and gather with the representatives of other gangs, but just as he was about to say goodbye to Yan Lai and the three of them, there was a commotion outside Liujiazhuang, and not long after, he heard a report:
"Miss Huo Xiaoqing Huo of Huojiazhuang wishes Mrs. Liu good luck and good things every year. ”
The greetings are decent, but at the moment they seem a little nondescript, not to mention that they are still from Huojiazhuang.
You must know that on the ground in Lingyan County, Liu and Huo Liangzhuang have always been at odds with each other, and there are often fights when the Xue family is there, although it is not to the point of life and death, but it will definitely not be a friend.
If it is not in ordinary years, it will not be said, but now this link, it is the time when all families are gearing up, as the two most climatic martial arts villages under the Xue family around Lingyan, they have long been on the cusp, and every move will be interpreted by others.
So in the face of the upcoming menacing Nanjianmen, what choice will they make? Will they continue to fight internally, or will they go on externally?
Today's birthday banquet is finally a bit interesting.
