Hidden Dragon Out of the Water Chapter 2 Section 3 Qingyang Town (1) 068/029

Qingyang Town, a rare piece of relatively flat land stretching deep in the mountains, happens to guard the junction of the hill and the river, and has always been the key point for the soldiers. At this time, Qingyang Town also garrisoned a standard of 500 Song troops all the year round, and the leader was a deputy general, surnamed Song, named Xixiao; Qingyang Town is surrounded by undulating mountains and hills on both sides, the Longhu Mountains on the right, the Longhu Mountains extend to the south, west and north to the territory of the Dragon Clan; on the left is the Phoenix Mountains, which hang down to the mighty Yangtze River in the east and north, and the Taihu Lake in the southeast is boundless; 37 miles behind Qingyang Town is the Nanling Ferry, and in front of it is Hangtou Town and the Qianyuan Villa that has always been remembered by the Song Dynasty, all of which are separated by dozens of miles.

In fact, Qingyang Town is not very big, but its terrain is very dangerous, its two wings are peaked by steep mountain ranges, low in front and high in the back, a rugged mountain road runs through the whole town, extends to every household; the main road has nine bends and eighteen bends, one bend sets up a checkpoint, controls layer by layer, and the guard is very strict. Although it is a peaceful time now, and there are not a few lazy soldiers on the checkpoint, the Great Song flag flying high in the town and the stumbling horse piles that can be seen everywhere at the checkpoint, the iron thistle car and the wary eyes of the joking Song army are still reminiscent of the unrest of this Qingyang Town.

Qingyang Town is not very large, but it is very prosperous, and the streets are filled with the unique fragrance of rouge used by women.

Qingyang Town is the most famous fireworks place in the Nanling area, the women here have been the stunners of the world since ancient times, rich in beauties to this day; He is known for his virtues, and in the midst of it, he is really:

Full of Shih Tzu. Left and right all over the ladies;

The wind blows thousands of sleeves white, and the rain wets ten thousand frankincense;

The body is shocking. Looking back on the drunken smile. Therefore, there are more than three in Qingyang Town, there are many fireworks in the inn, there are many pawn shops in jewelry shops, and there are many outsiders from all over the world.

When the sun was setting, eight horses, one woman and seven men, came bumpy under the mountain, and each of them had a hat pressed very low. almost covered most of his face, and he carried a single knife on the horse's back. You can see that the man and the woman in front of them are their leaders, the man is dressed in a purple brocade robe with a black cloak and the fabric glistens in the sun, and the woman is dressed in a red brocade robe with a green cloak. Beside them was a sturdy man in a yellow shirt with a spikeless sword in the saddle, and behind them were five burly men dressed in black, each with an extra machete on his shoulder.

The person who came was Ren Tianqi and Nanzi's gang. Beside the two of them in yellow clothes is Wen Huai of Qianyuan Villa. The five black-clothed men were the five black-armored guards beside Nanzi. Ren Tianqi and others came to Qingyang Town to step on the spot, which is the forefront of Xuzhou soldiers. According to Tanma's report, 500 Song soldiers from Yangzhou were newly stationed in the town.

A few people didn't seem to attract much attention from passers-by, but they attracted the attention of the Song family soldiers chatting at the checkpoint, and one of the soldiers stepped forward and grabbed a spear and was about to come forward to inquire. But he was stopped by another soldier with a knife, and said a few words in his ear.

Ren Tianqi looked at it in his eyes, and turned his head to look at Nanzi again. Smile slightly.

Nanzi reciprocated with a flattering smile and made a grimace.

Wen Huai laughed in a low voice: "Master and eldest lady don't need to worry. Few of the military lords here take the initiative to cause trouble, at most they just come to ask for a few taels of wine money. They also know that our dragon clan is not easy to mess with!"

Ren Tianqi nodded, and urged the horse to step forward slowly.

Before coming to the checkpoint, Ren Tianqi hugged his fists at the few errand boys and said loudly: "All the military masters have worked hard!"

Not only was Nanzi and the others surprised, but they didn't expect that Ren Tianqi would take the initiative to provoke Song Jun, but when Song Jun was also hesitating about whether to go up to check on you, he took the initiative to come to the door, fortunately, he knew etiquette!

The soldiers hurriedly returned the salute, and one of them smiled and said, "I don't know what this master commands?"

Ren Tianqi sat on the horse, reached out and took off the hat and slapped it lightly a few times, it was a face that had been slightly disguised.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The merchants who traveled south and north in Xia Nai, when they first arrived at the treasure land today, they saw that the sunset was about to fall, and this accommodation was the top priority, I don't know if there are better inns and pastimes in your town?"

The soldier looked at Ren Tianqi carefully, and said with a smile: "This uncle can be regarded as coming to the right place, our Qingyang Town is the first place in the world to come, I am afraid that this uncle will be reluctant to leave when he comes, even if he leaves, he will inevitably take a beautiful woman away!

Ren Tianqi laughed, took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and threw it over, and said with a smile: "It's not a respect, I hope you will laugh!"

The soldier stretched out his hand to take it, his face was full of joy, and said, "Why does this master have to spend so much, the little ones are grateful!"

Ren Tianqi leaned over and whispered: "I just don't know how the security in the town is, I also heard that there are a lot of new sergeants in the town, I'm afraid that there will be a disaster of swords and soldiers recently?"

The soldier gave a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle, you are really well-informed! There are indeed 500 new soldiers from Yangzhou stationed in the town, but they are all used to deal with the dragon clan, and they have nothing to do with the lord who goes south and north to do business, and the uncle is at ease!"

Ren Tianqi laughed, sat up straight, turned around and whistled to everyone, and kicked the horse past the checkpoint with satisfaction.

The crowd followed.

Ren Tianqi turned his head and asked, "Uncle Huai, are you familiar with the situation in this town?"

Wen Huai got up and said, "If you go back to your master, the situation in the town will be clear. The slightly larger inns and brothels in the town all have our Qianyuanzhuang members, and there are several storefronts that are secretly opened in our village, and our eyes and ears are everywhere!"

Ren Tianqi nodded.

A group of people walked on the street. As night approaches, lanterns are being hung up along the streets. Qingyang Town at night is more noisy and charming than during the day, and there are obviously more women on the road.

Nanzi was amazed, and he was also dizzy, and said with a smile: "I don't want this place to be so prosperous!"

Ren Tianqi looked back and smiled: "Little sister doesn't know something, but the prosperity of Yangzhou is a hundred times better than here at this time!"

Nanzi thought for a moment, shook his head again and said with a wry smile: "In this way, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my generation to continue the ancient style!"

Nanzi said: "Look, where should we settle down when this night falls?"

Ren Tianqi looked back and smiled: "Let's go to the pawn shop to pick up a few small things first, then go to the restaurant to have a delicious meal, and finally go to the inn to rest, how about it?"

Nanzi smiled and said charmingly: "It's all up to the master!"

Ren Tianqi was stunned when he saw Nanzi, Nanzi was so beautiful.

The further you went into the town, the more people pedestrianized, and the streets were potholed, so everyone got off and walked.

Someone had already taken over the two of them.

Wen Huai leaned over to take the reins, and said with a low smile: "Master, I said that there is no place in the world to ride a horse to the street; besides, with horses in hand, this play is destined to be unenjoyable, and the horses are still led by the old slave to the Sifang Inn opened in the village to wait for the master! Also, the master and the eldest lady play here by themselves, the eyes and ears of the village are everywhere, not to mention that there are a few brothers around!"

Nanzi glanced at Ren Tianqi, nodded with a smile, and involuntarily held Ren Tianqi's arm. It has never been idle to visit the territory of the Han people, not to mention that today is walking alone with Tan Lang in this sunset, the night is in the red and green, the girl's heart is full of curiosity and excitement.

Ren Tianqi stretched out his hand to hold Nanzi's hand, glanced at Nanzi lovingly, and smiled at the five guards: "That's right, since that's the case, you can all go to the Sifang Inn and wait, just leave some silver for the master!"

The five armor guards glanced at Nanzi, who smiled and nodded.

Who else could threaten her and her husband today?

One of them was about to shake his back and remove the machete on his back, but Ren Tianqi stopped by shaking his hand.

One of them hurriedly took out a bag of silver taels and handed it over, saying, "The subordinates don't have much silver on their bodies, just a little broken silver and a few taels of gold!"

Ren Tianqi looked at Nanzi slyly, and said with a smile: "It's enough, I think I have always bought things from the master of the white wolf with empty gloves! I don't know how much I have to ask for this bit of silver!" Ren Tianqi hurriedly took the bag into his arms and led Nanzi away.

The six of them also led their horses respectfully.

Wen Huai turned around and came back again and said in a low voice: "If the master says that there is an inconvenience, but he clearly says that it is the people of Qianyuan Villa, he will be safe!"

Ren Tianqi nodded and smiled, took off Nanzi and handed it to Wen Huai along with his cloak, and took Nanzi's hand and disappeared into the surging crowd. (To be continued......)
