The south has always been a land of water and rice, especially in the middle of summer, when you can see large areas of farmland almost everywhere, while the north is a little depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this Xuanzhou is a different place, the whole Xuanzhou is mountainous, although the mountains are not high, but it is not easy to produce agricultural products, so ordinary people will not go to Xuanzhou to seek a living. However, Xuanzhou has always had a different scene, because there are a lot of minerals in this place. The imperial court directly set up a ministry of industry in Xuanzhou, which was specifically responsible for the output of Xuanzhou iron ore. This thing is extremely important in the eyes of the imperial court, but because of this, iron tools are very scarce in the black market.

The general rudder of Jiangnan Wuhumen is in Xuanzhou, which is more or less related to the word iron, if the Xuzhou Shuangjian faction relies on a few generals in the officialdom, then the internal aid of Jiangnan Wuhumen in the imperial court is the Ministry of Industry. The entire Ministry of Industry is responsible for the mining of large and small iron mines in Xuanzhou, but Xuanzhou is an inner state and not an important border town after all, and it is impossible for a large number of troops to protect the iron mining sites. How to ensure the safety of everything in the Ministry of Industry, the answer of the Ministry of Industry is Jiangnan Wuhumen.

Many times the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are inseparable, the rivers and lakes need to rely on the court, and at the same time, the court has a lot of inconvenient things to do, but also need the help of the rivers and lakes, whether it is the army of the court or the sect of the rivers and lakes are very important, if the court will take over the entire iron will inevitably cause a backlash from the rivers and lakes, and whether the iron can be mined is a problem, and it is likely to become a situation of two shots. But on the other hand, it is impossible for the imperial court to allow too many iron weapons to circulate among the Jianghu sects, and when the time comes, everyone will have a sword in their hands, wouldn't it be a breeding ground for thieves.

Because the best way is to cooperate, on the one hand, Jiangnan Wuhumen completely guards the entire Xuanzhou large and small mining sites to ensure the normal use of the imperial army, on the other hand, the imperial court also turns a blind eye to some of the behaviors of Jiangnan Wuhumen, and even privately allows Jiangnan Wuhumen to mine a few scarce small mining sites by itself.

This cooperative relationship has remained unchanged for more than a hundred years, even during the previous dynasties. The mining of iron tools is also the throat of the Jianghu sect, and the Jiangnan Wuhumen has been curbing this throat.

After passing through Huangshan, Li Fengchen, Yang Fei and Sima Wuregret and a group of six people arrived in Xuanzhou in a carriage for a few days, and they didn't care about what happened in Huangshan County at all, in fact, it was too normal for this kind of thing to happen to the Jianghu sect.

Some of the people at the helm of the division of the family and the helm of the division have openly and secretly accepted a lot of money, some of which are called alimony and remuneration, and anyway, the names are endless. As long as the Jianghu sect has a good relationship with the local government, everyone is out of one nostril, and there is still room for bargaining among the vendors.

If you give this money, then you can continue to do business well, if you don't give it, then there will be some gangsters who come to you every once in a while to beg for a living, and it is useless to report to the official. Not to mention that the government doesn't care about this matter, even if the government is willing to take care of it, what is the use of those errands in the government. Everyone in the rivers and lakes will do some light work, and they will run away without a trace in three or two clicks, and over time, the government will not touch this mold, and the traders no longer have unrealistic hopes.

Therefore, most of the gate factions to the local government are a raccoon dog, everyone and get up from the vendor to peel off a layer of skin, speaking of that Li Bo is also good luck, if it is not for Wang Botang and Li Bo have many years of friendship, Wang Botang will not give him this head, you a trader loses something, then you have the ability to ask for it yourself, the government will not specifically help the vendor to collect debts.

So as soon as this file came out, it was nothing more than Qiu Fei's face couldn't hang up, as the helmsman of a rudder of Wuhumen, it was not a matter of greedy for a little money at all, hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels had no impact on the foundation of Wuhumen, but tens of thousands of taels were different.

The cost of eating, firewood, rice, oil, and salt does not cost money, the medicine used to heal wounds, the iron and stone used to polish weapons, and even the expenses of inner disciples and offerings, each of which seems to be a small amount, but together it is a huge number. But here a rudder master is greedy for ink alone, if you don't know, it's okay, but now you know, it's all at the level of the government, how can the elders of the five tiger gates in Jiangnan give up, and even have the idea of killing chickens and monkeys.

And how could Qiu Fei, who was sitting in the carriage at this time, not know, if it wasn't for Tian Xiaowei who came to him with that peerless sword technique cheatbook, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't come up with the money, if it wasn't for Li Bo's refusal to lend him money, how could he have embarked on this road.

At this time, Qiu Duanlang and Qiu Duanshui said that they would go to Xuanzhou with their uncle, which was actually no different from escorting themselves to the execution ground. But Qiu Fei didn't dare to escape, if he didn't escape, he might still have a way to live, after all, he was a member of the clan with a surname, and he would not really destroy his family, but if he escaped, his life would be really ruined. And Qiu Fei was originally a member of the Five Tiger Gate, blood is thicker than water, he has been a member of the Five Tiger Gate since he was born, and now where can he go if he escapes.

The group walked on the official road into Xuanzhou, but there were no people on this official road, not even a decent inn. This made Li Fengchen feel a little strange, but it was nothing for the two brothers, Qiu Duanlang and Qiu Duanshui. Xuanzhou is their hometown after all, and they naturally know what there is in this place.

The carriage walked forward slowly, and a few horses and a carriage on the official road were inconspicuous. On both sides are green trees, like tourists visiting the mountains and rivers.

One is followed by a long bridge along the river, which is the only bridge on the official road from Huangshan to Xuanzhou, this bridge is called Tongyuan Bridge, and it is also a bridge that has only been built in these years, so this bridge is also quite large. Speaking of which, this bridge is more famous in Xuanzhou, if not for anything else, because of the rainbow on the day the bridge was built, which is a good omen for the locals, so many Xuanzhou people like to walk this bridge in and out.

A pass through the Tongyuan Bridge is the boundary of Xuanzhou, or a pass through the Tongyuan Bridge is the rudder of the Jiangnan Wuhumen, where the surname Qiu is the first surname, that is, your surname Li is not as useful as your surname Qiu.

It's just that today, Qiu Duanlang and Qiu Duanshui felt that something was wrong as soon as they stepped onto this Tongyuan Bridge. There were only three people on the bridge deck, and no one else was there, and these three people didn't look like ordinary people.

"Where's the friend on the bridge?"

Qiu Duanlang asked, but there seemed to be no meaning to reply when he saw the other side, so the carriage behind also stopped. Originally, the entire Jiangnan was the boundary of Wuhumen, not to mention that Tongyuan Bridge is Xuanzhou, where the general rudder of Wuhumen is located, to put it bluntly, there are only friends of Wuhumen here, and there can only be friends of Wuhumen.

"When the three of them arrived in Xuanzhou, what is the relationship with our Wuhumen?"

Qiu Duanlang raised his voice and shouted again. It was only when the three of them made a move that they saw them walking in the direction of the carriage step by step.

The person at the head of him was dressed in a black suit, with a black belt and waist, and his figure was very burly, but his face was not very good-looking, the entire right side of his face seemed to have been burned, and the large blackboard made people unable to see his original appearance at all, and although there was no problem with the appearance of the two people on his left and right, it made people feel creepy at first glance.

The one on the left had a big iron sword on his back, a long scar on his face, and a large beard, and his thick beard even covered most of his face, while the one on the right even looked a little disgusting, obviously a man was indeed dressed as a woman, and he had a bun, and his pale face was rubbed with pink rouge, plus he was wearing a red gown, which was really unbearable. And in the man's hand is holding a thin sword, and at this time his right hand is firmly pressed against the hilt.

"Who the hell are you?"

Qiu Duanlang asked again, these three people looked like they were not ordinary, but no matter how Qiu Duanlang thought about it, he couldn't imagine which sect and which force these three people belonged to, and even Yang Fei, who was sitting in the carriage at this time, didn't know where these three people came from. The person in the middle has a scarred face, and the two people on the left and right are one full of beards and too masculine, and the other is too feminine, and at first glance, he is a man with the good of dragon yang. It stands to reason that these three people have been very prominent in their images, but they still don't know where these three people are sacred.

"Is Li Fengchen in the car?"

The blue-clothed and blue-lettered man in the middle spoke, with a lot of disdain between his words.

"Who am I, Your Excellency?"

Li Fengchen jumped out of the carriage and looked at the three people on the bridge with dead eyes.

"You are Li Fengchen of the Twin Swords Shaking Salt Lake?"

The man asked again.

"Really, who the hell are you, what are you looking for me?"

Li Fengchen put both hands on his double swords early, seeing that the opponent's posture was by no means a good type, even if he was now almost at the helm of the Five Tiger Gate, he himself could not be unguarded.

"I heard that you have been the leader of the rivers and lakes in the past few years, so I came here to wait for you, I want to have two moves with you, and see if your reputation as a four-sword earthquake salt lake is not worthy of its name!"

The blue cloth rushed towards Li Fengchen after saying that, but he didn't have a weapon in his hand, which made Li Fengchen unsure. Although they all saw that these three people were a little malicious, after all, he only said that he had fought two tricks, and he didn't use weapons, so Li Fengchen naturally wouldn't copy the guy and fight him with a real sword.

At the moment, Li Fengshen had to rely on his own hands and feet. However, the Xuzhou Shuangjian School is known for its swordsmanship, and it is not proficient in fist and foot kung fu, except for the Nine Heavens God Palm Li Yanzhao, the rest of the Li family is higher in swordsmanship, and fist and foot kung fu is a transition for them.

When the two people were less than three feet apart, the man in blue opened his hands and turned into two eagle claws to attack him. Li Fengchen also immediately clenched his fists and responded with the three styles of springing legs in their family.
