The west bank is already the boundary of Jiangzhou. www.biquge.info Qian Qingjian and others rested by the lake for the night and dried their clothes. At dawn, after traveling a few miles west, we came to the town of Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou, also known as Jiangzhou and Xunyang, is located at the junction of Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui and Hunan, and is known as "the mouth of the three rivers, the thoroughfare of seven provinces", "the land of the eyebrows of the world", and is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. In Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", "Xunyang Jiangtou sends off guests at night...... Jiangzhou Sima Qingshan wet" is talking about this place.

However, under the rough and stupid rule of the Yuan Dynasty regime, not to mention that no one planted rice, let alone controlled the water, resulting in frequent floods for many years, and the people were struggling to make a living. In recent decades, the place has been transformed into a flooded area and a playground for bandits.

Although it is a disaster area, although the people are not living well, but after all, Jiangzhou is a water and land transportation hub, so this place still gathers a lot of popularity, if you look at it from a modern point of view, Jiangzhou is a logistics center. The business travelers from the south to the north and the east to the west always had to pass through here, which made Jiangzhou a kind of barren prosperity.

It's not so much prosperity as chaos. Jiangzhou is a very chaotic place, because it is not suitable for large-scale garrisons, so the imperial court's control of this area is very weak, and those who uncover the uprising will not use this place as a base to occupy and operate. This has led to the convergence of various forces here.

Since further west is already the boundary of Hubei, the Heavenly Eagle Sect that runs rampant in the south of the Yangtze River in this place is also beyond the reach of the whip. Moreover, in recent years, the Eagle King has listened to Qian Qingjian's plan and deliberately reined in the power of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, so as not to make a big move, and he cannot surpass the Ming Sect and replace the Ming Sect as the target of King Ruyang, Cheng Kun and others. Therefore, the power of the Heavenly Eagle Sect did not expand to Jiangzhou.

Considering that the many bandits watching along the way are not only water thieves, Qian Qingjian does not plan to stay in Jiangzhou Town for too long, and if the time is too long, he will give those bandits enough time to prepare, and the Heavenly Eagle Sect will naturally not be afraid of these gang forces robbing, but they can't let them dig holes carefully.

So Qian Qingjian's family only found a restaurant to eat. The people led by Chang Jinpeng scattered and surrounded the restaurant outside to prevent accidents. Since a lot of dry food was lost in yesterday's water battle, in addition to eating and drinking enough, they also need to buy some cooked food in bulk to replenish it. Out of safety habits, they do not buy food from the restaurant, but only buy some cooked meat at the stalls around the restaurant.

It was early in the morning, there was no business in the restaurant, only a couple in their thirties were dining, the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, the appearance was rough, and the woman was beautiful and charming.

Qian Qingjian's family of four sat down with Bai Guishou, and called soup dumplings, rice noodles and other food to wait for the store to bring them up, they were hungry all night last night, looking at the steaming breakfast on the couple's table, they couldn't help but have a great appetite, especially Yin Li, who was carved in pink and jade, and shouted to eat this and that, Qian Qingjian stroked her little head and replied repeatedly.

After Qian Qingjian and his entourage of five people entered, the business of this restaurant suddenly improved, and many customers came in one after another, filling other tables in the restaurant in groups.

The guests, both men and women, had cold expressions, fierce manners, and weapons. At first glance, it is a character who walks in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he doesn't call for food when he sits at the table, as if they come to the restaurant to watch others eat, and the store seems to understand something, and they don't come to greet them.

Obviously, these people came for Qian Qingjian and his party, but since no one showed their bad intentions, it was not easy for the Sky Eagle Sect to kill people directly.

Bai Guishou, who was accustomed to observation, said in a low voice: "These people's martial arts are not weak. ”

Yin Susu nodded slightly and said, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

After a while, the food on their table was served, and Qian Qingjian's family of four feasted happily, eating very sweetly. It is in response to the saying that "when you are hungry, eating bran is as sweet as honey, and when you are full, eating honey is not sweet".

Bai Guishou was very cautious, he never ate it, until the time of a cup of tea, and found that Qian Qingjian and the others were not abnormal, so he was relieved to eat.

Seeing that Bai Guishou began to eat, someone at the table next to him finally spoke, and it was a long-bearded old man who spoke: "Everyone, yesterday our Sanjiang Gang lost dozens of good players, today's sale, we will divide half of the money, and leave the rest to you to divide, you have no objections, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Guishou immediately got up, slapped the table and said, "It's not good! Don't eat it, there's something wrong with this meal!"

Qian Qingjian, Yin Susu and the others immediately stopped their chopsticks, Yin Susu's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Come on, kill all the people in this restaurant for me!"

"Hehe......", "Hehe......", "Haha......" There was laughter in the restaurant, and there were all kinds of laughs.

"Who does she think she is?

"This is amazing, I like it!"

A middle-aged man with a thin figure and a withered figure but wearing a strong suit stood up, made a circle around, and said, "Everyone listen to me......" Then he pointed at Yin Susu and smiled: "I want this little lady dressed as a man, I can share less of the gold." ”

Someone else said: "Your Poyang Gang has a good calculation, you want to go to the most beautiful one, what should we do with the Wushan Gang? Our gang leader has instructed us to rob this little lady to Wushan Yunyu once if we don't want money." ”

Bai Guishou was furious, and he was about to make a move, but he felt that the dantian was empty, and he couldn't raise any internal strength. He looked at Yin Susu in shock, and saw that Yin Susu was also a miserable change, so he knew that she had also suffered the same plot.

There is no need to ask, Chang Jinpeng and the others outside must have been calculated, otherwise Yin Susu stopped drinking, and there was no reason why the people outside did not rush into the restaurant.

Qian Qingjian looked at Bai Guishou, and then at Yin Susu and Wei Siniang, and was very surprised, why didn't they do it? Let these people laugh and tease? But Yin Susu said in his ear: "Our internal strength is gone." ”

In the restaurant, everyone was arguing about how to divide the women and property, some said that as long as Wei Siniang, some said that if they took the little girl back to cook and eat, it must be more delicious than lamb, and some people couldn't compete with these powerful people, saying that they wanted to rob the beautiful woman at the table next to Qian Qingjian to enjoy it, and there was a dispute for a while, but no one came to do it.

"What a bold man, do you know who she is? You dare to plot against the daughter of the old hero of Hanyang Golden Whip Ji, I think you people are impatient!" the rough-looking man at the next table stood up and pointed to his wife to warn the bandits.

"Oh, Ji Lao Hero is a fart? We ignore him when he is majestic in Hanyang, can he still manage to come to Jiangzhou?"

Qian Qingjian noticed that the young woman at the next table was also pale, it seemed that they were also plotted, and said in his heart, Could this woman be Ji Xiaofu? This age is not right, and Ji Xiaofu should not marry this rough man.

In the noise of everyone, two people came out of the back door of the restaurant, one was dressed as a shopkeeper, and the other was Qian Qingjian, who knew him, and this person was Xue Gongyuan of the Huashan faction. (To be continued.) )
