Such a pharmaceutical event is rare in Pingzhou for one or two decades, and only a large gang like the Medicine King Gang is qualified to hold such a grand event.

In the past, the Yaowang Gang held this kind of event directly in the capital of Pingzhou, but this year, I don't know what the reason is, but it was decided to hold it in Zhuqi County, the most remote county in Pingzhou.

It is said that the hall master, Li Dashan, tried his best to win it from the leader of the Medicine King Gang. If such a grand event can be held in Zhuqi County, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the status of Zhuqi County's medicine collection hall.

This pharmaceutical and medicinal materials trading conference naturally caused a sensation among people in Pingzhou.

Secrets, treasures, armor, and medicines have always been the three essential things for people in the rivers and lakes.

Secrets are usually kept on their own, and few people sell them unless they are extremely down-to-earth. Treasure armor is hard to find, and it takes a weapon forging master to forge it, and the transaction volume is not large. There are only medicines, and they are in great demand, and all the big and small gangs need them.

People walk in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed. If you are stabbed, you have to rely on medicine to save your life. In addition to saving lives, there are also some miraculous medicines that can enhance internal cultivation, and they are also treasured medicines that people in the rivers and lakes are eager for.

It is not surprising that there are a large number of people in the rivers and lakes who have come from other parts of Pingzhou during this period in Zhuqi County.

There are still three or four months before the conference, and many of the people who have come to Zhuqi County are the preparatory personnel of the major gangs, and they have come early to pre-book places for food and accommodation, and the real high-level leaders of the major gangs have not yet arrived.

The real peak reached by the people in the rivers and lakes will appear about half a month before the start of the trading conference.

The Medicine Picking Hall in Zhuqi County, as a local branch of the Medicine King Gang, has begun to prepare for this rare event for more than ten years.

Many of the senior medicine pickers in the Medicine Gathering Hall have gone out and have not returned, and there is a shortage of manpower in the hall now. Hall Master Li decided to let the disciples in the door stop going out to collect medicine, and try to allocate manpower to maintain order in the county seat.

Wang Cai asked Ye Qin not to go out to collect medicine for the time being, but to stay in the door to do chores first, and wait for the dispatch.

Ye Qin immediately nodded yes, and withdrew from Wang Cai's residence with a respectful face.

For this Wang pharmacist, he only has superficial respect, and he doesn't have any sense of closeness in his heart. The relationship between him and Wang Cai is not so much that of the apprentice and the master, but of the relationship between the hired worker and the owner.

Ye Qin had been in the Medicine Picking Hall for three or four years, and he had long known that there was no relationship between the upper and lower levels in the Medicine Picking Hall, and almost everything was based on money. If he can't get medicine and can't make money, then the harshest punishment awaits him. In the medicine collection hall, unless they are apprentices taught by the same master, or people they know well, they usually have no feelings at all.

Ye Qin didn't have to be busy going into the mountains to collect medicine, the burden on his body was temporarily relaxed, and he returned to the small courtyard stone house where the medicine collection hall lived.

The apprentice of collecting medicine is not qualified to live in a house alone, so he still lives with Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiao, but the male and female apprentices have long been separated, and Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying have already lived in a stone house next door. Because many medicine picking boys and medicine picking apprentices have died in recent years, the stone house in the small courtyard is more than enough and not crowded.

When Ye Qin returned to the small courtyard, he sighed in his heart that he hadn't come back for more than half a year, and he was a little strange.

Suddenly, he heard an argument coming from ahead.

I saw four people in front of me, two men and two women, standing in the small courtyard, as if they were arguing about something.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with muscles like iron bumps, his eyes were full of anger, his iron palms kept clenching into fists, and he said something loudly, as if he wanted to clench his fists and smash people angrily.

There was also a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, who was not tall and had flexible eyes, and his tone was hesitant.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a green shirt, with a powdery face and a resolute attitude.

The last one is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in a yellow shirt with a petite figure, combing two small pigtails, and carrying a sharp sword, her eyes are a little red and swollen, and there are tears on her little face, full of grievances.

Ye Qin was slightly stunned, isn't that Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxiu, and Sun Ying. It was such a coincidence that I met them as soon as I came back. I haven't seen each other for half a year, Yang Yicheng and Feng Xiao are much taller, and the two little girls Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying already have some chivalrous demeanor.

But what's wrong with them?

Ye Qin walked over calmly.

Sun Ying was sobbing, and when she saw Ye Qin, her face showed unexpected surprise. "Second Senior Brother?!It's the Second Senior Brother who is back, great, we have one more person now. Second Senior Brother, you must help me!"

Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxiu and other three people also saw him.

However, only Qian Ruoxiu greeted Ye Qin.

"What can the second senior brother do when he comes back? With his exercises, can he beat those disciples in the inner hall? What is the difference between the four of us and the five? When you can't win and run away, you can run faster. ”

Feng Xiao shrugged with some disdain.

"Third child, how can you talk to the second child!" Yang Yicheng glared at Feng Xiao, and then said loudly to Ye Qin, "It's good that you can come back, there are many people, and there will be more or less strength when the time comes." ”

Ye Qin nodded at him and turned his head to ask Sun Ying.

"Fifth Senior Sister, what happened?"

"It's not the eight lambs of the inner hall. Yesterday, when the fifth senior sister and several junior sisters from the outer hall went out, they met some disciples from the inner hall, and they actually took advantage of the large number of people to make fun of the fifth senior sister. If I had been here, I would have smashed these bastards to death with one fist. ”

Yang Yicheng angrily explained for Sun Ying.

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

Ye Qin's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and even his tone was three points colder: "Then what else do you need to think about, find a chance to teach them a lesson! Could it be that they think that the disciples of our outer hall are all grown up vegetarians?"

He is not a person who likes to cause trouble, and many times even if he gets into trouble, he often endures it and does not react too violently. But when the brothers and sisters of the same disciple were in trouble, he couldn't ignore it.

In the entire Zhuqi County, he is only one of the few people who can be called partners. Even if there was any conflict between the five of them in the past, it was a matter between senior brothers and sisters, not being bullied by outsiders. His partner was bullied by outsiders, and he couldn't bear it.

"Second Senior Brother, it's not that you don't know the kung fu of those inner hall disciples. They have learned more kung fu than us since they were young, we learn one, they learn two, when we learn elementary martial arts, they have already learned intermediate martial arts, how to fight? You look at the five of us again, the senior brother, the fourth junior sister, and the fifth junior sister have learned foreign martial arts and swordsmanship, and it is better to say something. The two of us, one learned light skills, and the other learned exercises that couldn't fight, and we couldn't beat them at all. If the five of us went to the door, we would just be beaten for nothing. ”

Feng Xiao obviously didn't want to make trouble, so he couldn't help but persuade.
