····················

Survival in Qincheng is so cruel, here the Great Zhou Dynasty's royal decree can not be reached, and most of the people living in Qincheng are people who ignore the law, the reason why they take refuge in Qincheng is also because they despise the laws of the Great Zhou, and it is quite difficult for many people to win a place in Qincheng, because it is made of fists and white bones.

Some people say that the survival of Qincheng is even more cruel than the battlefield of the Great Wilderness, and it is cruel compared to the frontier battlefield of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes agree with this view.

When the young man with the strange long knife walked into the city step by step, many people around him looked sideways, but there were too many people of different shapes in Qin City, so the young man was just a quick glance but it was difficult to remember his appearance.

In Qincheng, the strong and powerful people are worshipped, so when the young man did not hesitate to make a knife, most of them did not feel that there was anything wrong, if there was, it was also because of the excitement of blood.

The young man disappeared into the street corner, the corpse was eaten by wild dogs, and the streets of Qincheng were still dead and dead.

"Qin Cheng. ”

Jiang Yangsheng stood under the city of Qincheng that was broken by the Beilai Waterway Army, frowning, he now didn't understand why Qin Xiangjun would choose to take such a dangerous route, you know, Qincheng is a place where rogue is rampant for dozens of miles, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is also quite helpless about this, because the bandits here have been repeatedly banned, and the county officials around Qincheng are also complicit with him, and they are a raccoon dog.

The surrounding people are miserable, but fortunately, the oath left by Qincheng a hundred years ago still has some effect, and the bandits are less poisonous to the people, but compared to the people in other places, the people of Qincheng are undoubtedly living in dire straits.

As if knowing what Jiang Yangsheng was thinking, Qin Xiangjun stared at the rather broken plaque in Qin Cheng and said softly, "This is the only route that can get rid of them." ”

Jiang Yangsheng nodded, naturally knowing that they were the same group of brothers that Qin Xiangjun was referring to.

He looked at Qin Xiangjun, at this time, the latter had changed into men's clothes as he walked the rivers and lakes back then, and became a 'fake' man, but the heroic spirit revealed between his eyebrows showed that Qin Xiangjun had a kind of feminine beauty, and now it seems that Qin Xiangjun is more cold than the previous kind of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away, this Qin Xiangjun who is dressed as a woman is the Qin Xiangjun that Jiang Yangsheng knows.

"Some of the soldiers are taking risks. ”

Zhang Daoyan said in a deep voice.

He is very aware of the danger of taking the road of Qincheng, this is a road where the bones and scum will die if you are not careful, there are large and small cottages around Qincheng, even some third-grade martial arts masters will avoid its edge and choose to detour, because there is no shortage of third-grade or even higher masters in Qincheng.

This is undoubtedly the most dangerous place in the entire Qinhuai River, and Qin Xiangjun has also experienced careful consideration when he thinks about going here.

Jiang Yangsheng felt a trace of severity in his heart, he originally thought that Qin Xiangjun and those two groups of people were nothing more than mutual conflict between fellow disciples and brothers, but now that he thinks about it, the real situation is far from the case.

It seems that this time he originally wanted to part ways with Qin Xiangjun and Zhang Daoyan outside the capital, but now it seems that Jiang Yangsheng can only accompany Qin Xiangjun to the capital.

"In Qincheng, you don't have to blindly tolerate it, as long as you are strong enough to be safe here. ”

Zhang Daoyan said in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhang, have you ever been here?"

Zhang Daoyan nodded, pondered for a while and then spoke: " About two years ago, we were ordered by the master to come to arrest a bandit who killed a disciple of the Heavenly Prisoner Gate, this bandit is a horse bandit from the Northwest Desert, each of them is tall and big, riding a purebred Western Regions horse, holding a scimitar, speaking a few unskilled Jiangnan dialect in the Qinhuai River camp, if in the past, how could there be a northwest bandit south to the south of the Yangtze River, but in recent years, it has been rumored that the relationship between the king with a different surname in the northwest and the son of heaven in the capital is stiff, and then the king with a different surname intends to let these northwest bandits into the south of the Yangtze River for the common people, when the prison gate knew about this bandit, many people hesitated, thinking that this is just a bandit, as long as spring comes, they will go north, Who knew that this group of bandits had been burning, killing and looting here for more than half a year, and the inaction of the government, the county official saw the bandit leader as if he saw his ancestors, and he couldn't wait to offer his daughter-in-law with both hands. ”

When Zhang Daoyan said this, he looked back at Qin Xiangjun, who was dressed as a man, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but he saw the latter's ordinary appearance of disdain, so Zhang Daoyan opened his mouth and continued.

"Until one time, this group of bandits robbed the village where the disciples of the Heavenly Prisoner Sect were born and killed all the people in the village, and the Heavenly Prisoner Gate, as the teacher, naturally could no longer turn a blind eye as if nothing had happened, so they sent more than a dozen disciples of the Heavenly Prisoner Sect to suppress the bandits. ”

"I think it's a loss. ”

Jiang Yangsheng said.

Zhang Daoyan nodded and said, "More than a dozen Heavenly Prisoner Sect disciples all died, and none of them survived. ”

"Your Heavenly Prison Gate has been in its prime, since more than 20 years ago. ”

Jiang Yangsheng said sincerely.

Zhang Daoyan was noncommittal, "Later, the elders in the division were dispatched, and the three elders of the Heavenly Prison Gate of the Third Rank Realm went to strangle this group of bandits together, no one thought that this group of bandits was not inferior to the scouts over there, and they fought and retreated, although they lost one after another under the hands of the three Keqing elders of the Heavenly Prison Gate, but after all, the loss was not very large, so they retreated to Qin City. ”

"It's a lot of trouble. ”

"yes. ”

Zhang Daoyan nodded, "Since ancient times, Qincheng has been the gathering place of bandits in the world, in Qincheng, as long as they are bandits, they are like a family, don't look at this group of bandits when there is no one around, they are very strong in internal fighting, but they have been outside the outside world to keep warm, after this group of foreign bandits entered Qincheng, soon someone in Qincheng claimed to keep them safe. ”

Jiang Yangsheng was very curious about what happened later, he wanted to know very much in his heart that one was a Jianghu sect with a head and a face on the Qinhuai River, and a city that was also a mixture of fish and dragons, he wanted to know which side was the first to bow his head, maybe the Tianjiaomen, the Jianghu sect, was more likely to bow his head.

"Of course, the Heavenly Prisoner Gate returned in vain in the end, because we underestimated Qin Cheng's determination to protect this group of bandits. ”

Zhang Daoyan finally sighed lightly, seemingly a little disappointed, but it was a reasonable thing.

Although the Heavenly Prisoner Sect is a so-called Jianghu sect, everything it does is bound by various rules and regulations, and it is far from being as free as this group of bandits who even dare to abandon Wang Fa and Jianghu.

The morality of the rivers and lakes, the Heavenly Prisoner Gate must be considered, and the face of the Heavenly Prisoner Sect must also be considered, this is undoubtedly a very difficult decision, Qincheng has many people, far beyond the reach of those Jianghu sects, and this group of Jianghu bandits in Qincheng, after getting on the horse, is a light horse, and when he gets off the horse, he is a pawn, unless everyone in the Heavenly Prisoner Gate is a martial arts master, otherwise once what the Heavenly Prisoner Gate does is beyond the bottom line of Qincheng, the two will tear their faces, and the most serious damage in the end is undoubtedly the Heavenly Prisoner Gate.

In the end, these three Keqing, who were quite strong, just rode around Qincheng and put a few innocuous cruel words. ”

Zhang Daoyan said disappointedly, because at that time he had deep doubts about the rivers and lakes he knew in his eyes, perhaps even if Zhang Daoyan knew that his talent in martial arts was very limited, he was still full of yearning for this rivers and lakes, he longed for the rivers and lakes that had revenge and kindness, and it was a river and lake composed of chivalrous people, and it was a river and lake that was not bound by rules and regulations, not the rivers and lakes he saw now.

Originally, he thought that the guests of the Heavenly Prisoner Gate were all upright and unyielding, but he didn't know that they were all illusions, and the guests of the Heavenly Prisoner Gate would also have such a side.

"I have to say that after that day, my view of the rivers and lakes in my heart has changed profoundly, and even my opinion of the Heavenly Prison Gate has been shaken. ”

Jiang Yangsheng smiled slightly, and felt a little inexplicable empathy for Zhang Daoyan's view in his heart, after all, Jiang Yangsheng, who was the second son of Beilai, also came all the way, from the beginning he felt that the world was as peaceful and rich as Beilai, but after walking out of Beilai, he saw starvation all over the place, Li Shusheng was born in hardships and could not extricate himself, originally Jiang Yangsheng thought that this river and lake were just the idea of 'people are not for themselves, and the sky will be destroyed', but there is an old servant who can only giggle and accompany him to complete the journey of 16,000 miles.

Jiang Yangsheng didn't know what he thought about this Jianghu, but at least he maintained his awe and vigilance.

"This is a real Jianghu. ”

Jiang Yangsheng sighed.

Zhang Daoyan and Qin Xiangjun beside him nodded in unison.

Although Qincheng is a notorious city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but compared to other cities, Qincheng is the most free city, although most people keep a sneer at these innocuous so-called 'freedom', but Qincheng also has a very strange phenomenon, that is, although Qincheng is a city composed of bandits, but in Qincheng City, there is never such a thing as stealing, killing, stealing goods.

Maybe this is 'there is a way to steal'.

As the freest city on the rivers and lakes, there have never been any guards outside Qincheng, and there is no curfew, because the people in Qincheng don't need these meaningless things to them at all, as long as there is a stir, they can 'fill the city with golden armor'.

The three of them walked into Qincheng, looking very depressed, I have to say that Qincheng is a wonderful flower among many cities, compared to other cities, there will be more or less some literati and rioters, although it is not 'talking and laughing are all Confucianism, there is no white ding', but at least there are a few great Confucian students with extraordinary status in other cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if they are called ' There will also be Confucian scholars in Beilai, but the status is low, but the people in Qincheng are all dog slaughterers, and the literati are tantamount to clowns here, and the people of Qincheng can't see those sick-free moans who are dumb and mocking.

Qin Xiangjun planned to stop in Qincheng for half a day, waiting to start the trip with the two groups of people.

Jiang Yangsheng had already realized Qin Xiangjun's worrying situation at this time, so he stayed by Qin Xiangjun's side.

At this time, the three of them walked on the not wide main city road in Qincheng, they couldn't help frowning, looking around, the not wide main city road was covered with horse manure and water, and a pungent smell filled the nose, and the people standing on the street didn't mind it at all, talking and laughing with each other, and spit on the ground from time to time, which made Qin Xiangjun a little unacceptable, looking at the dirty and sloppy pedestrians walking around, as well as those war horses with messy and sticky manes, as well as blood stains on their clothes that had not yet dried up, all kinds of phenomena really made people feel uncomfortable。

Jiang Yangsheng looked around carefully, everyone around him exuded a very strong anger, this kind of anger was not innate, but rendered on the tip of the knife for many years, he believed that even if these people in front of him seemed to be chatting quite speculatively, they didn't know that they would draw their knives against each other the next moment.

Most of these people wore swords at their waists, and even a few of them had swords behind their backs, but most of them had very indifferent expressions.

The three of them found an open-air tea shop to sit down, the tea shop is the kind of tea shop that opens along the main city road, a bench table is distributed on the street, occupying a lot of the city road, at this time, in this small tea shop, there are a lot of people sitting, four of them are dressed in cyan and white clothes, and they are all snow-white and dusty, two of them are young people, just up to the crown, childish, and the other two are old young people.

Four people around a very greasy table drinking light tea, two of them young people, a man and a woman, sat opposite each other, the girl seemed to have discovered something new, a pair of bright big eyes stared at Jiang Yangsheng opposite, deep eyes full of style.

The young man stared at the girl, with a lot of admiration in his eyes, but at this time, he was constantly complaining about how bad the environment in Qincheng was.

"Tao Xiuyuan, don't be a mother-in-law all day long, isn't it just a Qin City, at least it is a city, and it is still a place for people, which is not much stronger than when we were in the Northwest Desert before! At that time, you could sleep in the sand pit at night. ”

The young man named Tao Xiuyuan opened his mouth to refute, and then muttered: "Is this still a place where people live? ”

Unfortunately, at this time, the tea shop Xiao Er came over with tea, saying that it was a little two, he looked very small, a look of five big and three thick shoulders and a round waist, and on both arms were covered with countless scars, after hearing this, the little two who delivered the tea and water slammed the tea on the table, and suddenly made a dull sound, and the tea splashed everywhere.

"Oh, you can't turn the sky upside down as a minion!"

The young man in white was splashed with tea, hurriedly wiped his sleeve, and suddenly roared angrily.

"Xiuyuan! Don't be rude. ”

The two middle-aged men on the side hurriedly got up and scolded, but their hands involuntarily pressed on the long sword at their waists.

"Boy, in Qincheng, whether you are an official or a prince's heir, you have to honestly clamp your tail. ”

Duancha Xiaoer said viciously, and the hideous scars on his face became more and more terrifying.

"Who are you to reprimand me. You're just a bandit living in this filthy city. ”

As soon as Tao Xiuyuan's words fell, he saw that the eyes of the big man became very gloomy, Tao Xiuyuan didn't think that these words should be undeserved, and even in his cognition, the people in Qin City were just a group of barbarians who had not yet opened their minds.

The two middle-aged men sitting opposite Tao Xiuyuan suddenly showed a wry smile on their faces, and the girl in blue clothes was full of panic in her eyes, looking at a loss and pitiful.

As soon as Tao Xiuyuan's words fell, several strong Qincheng people suddenly walked out of the street, and they gathered in front of this table, with hideous smiles on their faces.

Jiang Yangsheng looked at this group of people, everyone was carrying a long knife, the blade was wide and narrow, and the iron itself was shoddy, but it was very easy to cut people, thinking that this was a group of bandits who often ran rampant around Qincheng, and they paid attention to a 'absolute' when they started to do things.

"You········ You ······· What do you want to do?"

When the young man saw five or six big men with quite good momentum gathered in front of him, he suddenly became a little short of breath, and he squeaked and squeaked when he spoke.

Tao Xiuyuan instinctively looked at the middle-aged man with the sword beside him, the middle-aged man sighed in his heart, and then got up and said: "Heroes, in Tao Shengdian, this is the younger generation of the family, just now the exit is not inferior to everyone's harmony, and I hope that all the heroes Haihan, Huangkou Xiaoer's words are not true." ”

Tao Xiuyuan's eyes were a little dim when he looked at Tao Shengdian, he didn't expect that he wouldn't help himself at such a critical time.

Tao Xiuyuan was a little angry in his heart, he had always felt that the people in Qin City were not good.

"Uncle Dian, how can you help this group of barbarians speak?"

Tao Xiuyuan pointed at the surrounding Qincheng people and said angrily, with a trace of endless grievances in his tone.

"Shut up! The family is used to you, not to let you come out and do nonsense, when you are at home, there is an old man of the state shepherd to take care of you, who will care about you when you come out?"

Tao Shengdian roared angrily.

Jiang Yangsheng and Qin Xiangjun in the distance looked at each other and smiled, this Tao Shengdian is really not stupid, he reported his home in a few words just now, wanting to play the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

"Yo, I don't see it, they're all from the state pastor's family, I don't know which state it's from?"

"My grandfather is the state pastor of the Northwest Mozhou, I advise you to know each other a little better, and make a compensatory note to the master, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin when the time comes. ”

Tao Xiuyuan's face was proud, as the heir of the state pastor in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even to some extent comparable to the heir of the vassal king, Jiang Yangsheng understood Tao Xiuyuan's pride very well.

"Northwest Mozhou?"

The teahouse junior laughed, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the city wall, and said fiercely: "Boy, I don't know how many dignitaries have died in that city." It's a shame to die at such a young age. ”

After Xiao Er finished speaking, the smell of blood exuded from his body.

Tao Shengdian's face sank, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this lawless Tao Xiuyuan at home once again angered this group of also lawless bandits, you must know that this group of people who completely ignore the law and kill the heirs of a state pastor is like a joke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tao family is willing to end today's matter, I don't know what you think?"

One of the big men glanced at Tao Shengdian, who was a little shorter than himself, and sneered: "The heir of a pastor from the Northwest Prefecture ran to Qinhuai to make a big fuss, and he is not afraid that his life will not be hard enough to go back." ”

Tao Shengdian knew that today's incident, Tao Xiuyuan did something wrong first, and the current situation was somewhat beyond Tao Shengdian's expectations, originally he reported his family to make this group of people restrain their behavior, but he underestimated the contempt of this group of people for the state pastor.

Even when the Beilai army came to the city, the people of Qincheng did not give in, even when the people of Qincheng were almost dead, they were never afraid of any state pastor, and for many years in the city of Qincheng, I don't know how many so-called high-ranking officials and nobles were cut off their heads, just a state pastor, and it is still the state pastor of the northwest desert state, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, can you manage it?

"Five thousand taels. ”

He said in a deep voice, the price of a direct heir of a state pastor to buy five thousand taels is neither high nor low.

Tao Shengdian's face was embarrassed, it was impossible for him to carry five thousand taels of silver with him, but now that he was in the first aid, he would not be able to make up the money for a while.

"This ········ Can you give me some time to scrape together enough money? ”

"It's not negotiable. ”

Dahan said coldly, looking like he didn't leave any room for it.

Tao Shengdian, who was on the side, was grim and clenched the long sword at his waist, ready to unsheath it at any time.
