It is said that Jing Xining walked aimlessly on the road after leaving Yuanyin Valley, and came to Weizhou City on this day, he has lived in Yuanyin Valley for more than ten years, everything here seems so novel, the crowd of people on the street, dazzling goods, restaurants, shops, carriages... Although he was born in the prosperous land of Bianzhou www.biquge.info his childhood memories have long been blurred, and what Li Zhirou and Feng Xianru told him only existed between words and books, and the rest was only the endless imagination in his mind. He was bouncing around the streets, eager to see things he hadn't seen in more than a decade and learn things he had never understood. He saw a group of people gathered in a group not far away, and he didn't know what they were looking at, so he was curious and crowded over. When I got closer, it turned out to be two middle-aged people performing there, and I saw one person wielding a big knife, exquisite, with blades everywhere and whirring wind. Another person struck the gong, his voice loud and deafening, cheering and cheering.

Jing Xining couldn't take his eyes off it, completely immersed in it, and was looking at it vigorously, when he suddenly felt that his right arm was pulled by someone, and his body leaned over, and he almost fell. After relieving himself, he found that someone had robbed him of his burden, Jing Xining recognized the thief at a glance, ran fast, and immediately chased after him. The thief seemed to be a habitual thief, familiar with the topography of the street, and soon disappeared into an alley, without a trace.

Jing Xining saw that she couldn't find the person, she was extremely depressed, and she lowered her head, very annoyed. In fact, there are no valuable items in the baggage, just some old clothes that have been changed and washed, not even broken silver, the only thing that makes Jing Xining anxious is that there is a piece of jade pendant that his mother used to carry, this jade pendant was originally given to his wife by Tang Zhongzong Li Xian in recognition of the ancestor Qi Guogong Jinghui Shenlong's restoration and support in the coup. Legend has it that when the Heshi Bi was passed to Qin, Qin Shi Huang made the Heshi Bi into the emperor's jade seal, and then made the remaining jade into a priceless jade pendant, and then this jade pendant has been passed down among the royal princes of the past dynasties. And since the Jing family got this jade pendant, they have passed it on to the daughter-in-law of the Jing family from generation to generation. Of course, Jing Xining was not sad because he felt that this jade pendant was priceless, but because it had always been by Li Zhirou's side, and when he saw this jade pendant, he seemed to see Li Zhirou, which made him inexplicably warm.

Just when Jing Xining was sad and hopeless, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, Jing Xining turned his head and saw that there were two young people who were about the same age as him, one of them was handsome and calm, holding the thief just now, and the other was mighty and hearty, holding the burden that Jing Xining had just been robbed, but the clothes were relatively shabby, Jing Xining was wondering, and one asked: "This brother, is this burden yours?" Jing Xining replied: "Well! you?" The two of us happened to see this thief snatch your burden and run into this alley, and I am waiting for him here. As he spoke, he kicked at the thief, "See where else do you want to run?"

The thief hurriedly begged for mercy: "A few big brothers, spare the little one's life, I haven't eaten for several days, and I really have no way to make this decision, and I won't dare next time." ”

The man who grabbed the thief said: "You still dare to lie, seeing that you haven't eaten for a few days with your clothes and full strength, are you kidding us?"

The thief hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

The man with the burden handed the burden to Jing Xining and asked, "What is Brother Tai going to do with this person?" Jing Xining said: "Since the thing has been recovered, let's spare him this time." The man replied, "Brother Tai has already said it, so it is so." The thief hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him, and the other said, "If we see you doing this kind of stealing and stealing business again, we won't spare you, get out." The thief didn't dare to say anything, and ran away.

After the thief ran away, Jing Xining thanked him: "Thank you two, I am really grateful, I don't know what to call the two?" One of them replied: "It's just a trivial matter, how can I thank you, in Xia Zhao Kuangyin, Zhuojun people's family, this is Chai Rong, Xingzhou people's family, and I don't look like a local person when I listen to my brother's accent." Jing Xining replied: "It turned out to be Brother Zhao and Brother Chai, and I will respect Xining in the next, let's be regarded as a Bianzhou person." ”

Chai Rong said: "Brother Jing first take a look to see if there is anything missing in it?"

Jing Xining glanced at it and said, "It's all there, a lot, a lot." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "That guy just now looked like a bully, and I really wanted to beat him up." ”

Jing Xining said: "I was just passing by here, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing just out of the valley, no wonder Grandpa Feng once told me that the people in the rivers and lakes are sinister." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Who is Grandpa Feng?"

Jing Xining said: "Although he is my mentor, I have always regarded him as my own grandfather. Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

Chai Rong said: "Brother Jing, where are you going?"

Jing Xining said: "Actually, I don't know where I'm going, maybe I'll go to Bianzhou." ”

Zhao Kuangyin likes to make friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, seeing that Jing Xining is dignified, extraordinary, and alone, he said: "I also have no fixed residence, I met Brother Chai when I was in Xiangzhou, so I decided to travel the world together, if Brother Jing is interested, it is better to go with us, Brother Chai, what do you think?" Zhao Kuangyin said and looked at Chai Rong for advice. Chai Rong saw that Jing Xining was good-looking, and he was by no means a disciple of the market, although he was not deep in the world, but judging from the footwork when he chased the little thief, his skills should be excellent, so he nodded and replied: "It is fate that the three of us can meet in this Weizhou City, I have no opinion." ”

Jing Xining was also a little confused, and now it was naturally great to be able to walk with Chai and Zhao, so he nodded and replied: "The two brothers don't dislike it, it's so good." ”

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, chatting happily, and between the chats, a group of people suddenly appeared in front, all of them showed off their teeth and claws, showing off their might, and the middle one was the thief who had just grabbed Xining's things, only to see him pointing to the three of them and saying to the person next to him: "It's the three of them." ”

Zhao Kuangyin recognized the man, pointed at him and said, "What, I called a helper, it seems that I wasn't beaten enough just now." ”

A small leader next to the thief said: "What a big breath, you dare to spread wild on the territory of our Green Sparrow Gang, I think you are impatient." ”

Chai Rong said: "It turns out that you are one of the two major gangs in Weizhou City, the Qingque Gang, I heard that you will only do some things to bully the people, but I didn't expect to learn to steal chickens and dogs, it's really incredible." ”

Jing Xining has always lived in Yuanyin Valley, he has never seen such a battle, and he was a little stunned, the little leader was ridiculed by Chai Rong, he was annoyed and angry, and shouted, and a group of people waved the knives, guns and sticks in their hands and pounced on the three of them.

Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin seem to have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and they are very comfortable fighting with these people, without the slightest cowardice, but Jing Xining, who has never fought with anyone, saw someone with a stick hitting him, a little flustered, instinctively dodged, and then grabbed the stick, the other party couldn't pull the stick, and kicked Jing Xining's lower abdomen, Jing Xining gently drummed his lower abdomen, and the person's hand took off the stick and was instantly bounced out. Seeing this, everyone was surprised, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Brother Jing, I didn't expect you to hide it deeply, and your martial arts are so high." ”

"I..." Jing Xining didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't know how to say to Zhao Kuangyin, the little leader said: "No wonder I'm so arrogant, give it to me." All of a sudden, everyone rushed to Jing Xining, Jing Xining rampaged in the crowd, pushed to a piece, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly pulled people away from behind the crowd, rushed inside, repelled the people who surrounded them, and called Jing Xining to run away together, and the people of the Qingque Gang followed closely behind and chased wildly.

Jing Xining, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were chased by the Qingque Gang for half of Weizhou City, tired and panting, finally got rid of them temporarily, and didn't know where they went, seeing a long pavilion in front, Zhao Kuangyin said: "I'm tired to death, the people of the Qingque Gang want to chase after me, I have to rest for a while." Chai Rong said: "I see that everyone is tired, let's go in and rest." ”

When the three of them walked inside, they all lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath in their mouths, and looked at each other's embarrassed appearances, and couldn't help laughing in unison.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and said, "Since the three of us are so connected, why don't we follow the example of Taoyuan Sanyi and become brothers with different surnames in this Changting?" Jing Xining and Chai Rong also stood up after hearing this, and agreed with each other. So the three of them knelt on the ground and read in unison: "The emperor is above, the earth is the proof, I Chai Rong, I Zhao Kuangyin, I respect Xining, today I am here as brothers with different surnames, share honor and disgrace, bear blessings and woes, hoe the strong and help the weak, and do the right thing for heaven. After the ceremony, the three of them stood up one after another, and Chai Rong said: "It's a pity that there is no wine, and there is a fly in the ointment." Zhao Kuangyin laughed, took out a pot of wine from his baggage and said, "What do you think this is?" Chai Rong and Jing Xining were overjoyed after seeing it, and Chai Rong quipped: "You are not interesting enough, you actually secretly hid fine wine along the way." After saying that, the three of them looked up and laughed again.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "The wine is there, but there is still a question, how do we sort it, who is the eldest brother and who is the younger brother?" Jing Xining pondered for a moment and said: "Why don't we make it simpler and arrange by age!" Chai and Zhao both nodded yes, and then said each other's ages, Zhao Kuangyin said: "It seems that I am the youngest, and I can only be the third brother." ”

Jing Xining said: "I'm a little crazy, so it's hard to be a big brother, haha..." ”

After that, Zhao Kuangyin handed the wine to Jing Xining, and Jing Xining said, "I don't know how to drink." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "How can people not drink in the rivers and lakes, besides, today is the day of our swearing, and you are our eldest brother, this wine must be drunk no matter what." Jing Xining had no choice but to take the wine jug and take a big sip of it as water, and suddenly his throat seemed to be stuffed with chili peppers, and his stomach was hot, and he choked and coughed.

Chai Rong said: "Kuang Yin, don't be embarrassed for the big brother." ”

Jing Xining made Zhao Kuangyin laugh like that, "Okay, okay, don't embarrass big brother." ”

Chai Rong took the wine jug from Jing Xining's hand, took a big sip and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin drank the rest of the wine, then threw the wine jug far behind, fell to the ground, and yelled, "Happy!"

While Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were happy, Jing Xining had a trace of worry in his heart, Chai Rong saw Jing Xining's expression gloomy, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jing Xining said: "This time we provoked the Qingque Gang and were hunted down by them, what should we do?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Big brother, don't worry, isn't it just a Qingque Gang, it's nothing great, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Chai Rong said: "Big brother's worries are not unreasonable, the Qingque Gang has a lot of power in Weizhou City, and now their people are looking for us everywhere, if we want to leave safely, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

At this moment, two strong men passed by them with big knives, and said as they walked: "The Blue Sparrow Gang recruited subordinates this time, and our brothers have a chance to show their faces..."

Zhao Kuangyin listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said, "Big brother and second brother, I have a way to make the people of the Qingque Gang stop troublesome with us." ”

Chai Rong asked, "What's the solution?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "You also heard it just now, isn't the Qingque Gang going to recruit new people? ”

Jing Xining hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, didn't Brother Rong say it, the Qingque Gang is a well-known evil gang in Weizhou, specializing in bullying the common people, how can we join them?"

Chai Rong said: "Big brother is right, how can we join this kind of gang." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, listen to me finish what I said, in fact, getting rid of the entanglement of the Qingque Gang is only secondary, second brother, do you remember what I said when I agreed with you to travel the world together?"

Chai Rong said: "Of course I remember, fighting unevenly, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, we have done exactly this along the way." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's not it, the Qingque Gang is a big evil gang in the local area, oppressing the people, doing evil, if we join the Qingque Gang, if they can get them back on the right path, it will be a great achievement, besides, we have no fixed place to live now, and the four seas are our home, so it is better to go to the Qingque Gang to rest and make plans for the time being." ”

Chai Rong said: "Although there is some truth in what you said, let's not talk about whether we can bring the Qingque Gang back to the right path, now they are chasing and killing the three of us everywhere, isn't it self-defeating if we go like this?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It is precisely because of this that it is unexpected, if the situation really changes, with the ability of the three of us, it should be no problem to kill the green sparrow to help me, and if there is a chance, you can also take their lair by the way." ”

Chai Rong felt quite reasonable, and asked Jing Xining: "What do you think, big brother?"

Jing Xining said: "The Qingque Gang is the victim, if it can really be as Kuang Yin said, it can be regarded as a merit." ”
