The land of Sichuan Mansion has been called the Kingdom of Heaven since ancient times, and it is surrounded by mountains and arches, and the people are rich in things. The beauty and delicacy of Shu brocade are famous all over the world, even if it is the emperor's house, it is rare to see this thing, and the reputation of the country of abundance can be seen.

This place is so rich, it is naturally the place where the soldiers must fight, but the Sichuan Mansion is a basin, surrounded by mountains, only the Sword Pavilion Shu Road is feasible to enter the Sichuan, and the Shu Road is extremely steep, it is extremely difficult to attack it. During the Three Kingdoms period, the number of Wei was five times that of Shu, and the soldiers were still unable to advance an inch, and Jiang Wei was stuck in the Sword Pavilion and suffered heavy losses. Later, Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping and took Shu directly, but even so, when he arrived in Shudu, there were only more than 2,000 people left when he set off, and the danger of Shu Road can be seen, and the ancients had more feelings that Shu Road was difficult to go to the blue sky.

Although the Jin soldiers in the Song Dynasty were fierce, most of the battlefields in the north were too long due to the long battle line and frequent uprisings, and the front-line battlefields were repeatedly tug-of-war in Henan, and entering Shu could only be a luxury. However, even if the Jin State can enter the Central Plains, I am afraid that I can only have an assimilation attitude towards Sichuan and Shu, and if I really want to attack, I am afraid that it is not the strange soldiers of the Jin State who can do it. Far away from the scourge of war, the Sichuan and Shu areas naturally enjoy a rare calm.

In ancient times, the long-distance journey, military aircraft intelligence and letter exchanges, were all handled by post stations set up by the imperial court. However, the post station is a department of the imperial court, which is dedicated to serving the imperial court, and ordinary people can't use it if they want to, so there are only two ways, one is to spend money to hire people, and the other is to do it yourself. The first type evolved into a dart game over time, which will not be mentioned here, while the second type is time-consuming, laborious, and dangerous.

As the saying goes, the mountains must be strange, and the mountains will become fine. The talk of spirits is still fluctuating, but the mountains and rivers are easy to breed some special livelihoods, that is, thieves. The more remote the area, the more peaceful the place, the more bandits, which also formed a kind of green forest culture.

I often hear a saying that thieves also have a way, in fact, this way did not originally refer to morality, but rules, which means that robbers must also have rules, and this most basic rule is to seek wealth and not kill people. Imagine that robbery will kill people, after a long time, who dares to walk on this boundary, then the business will be gone, thieves also need word of mouth, saving life is a kind of word of mouth, and over time, thieves also have a way to become today's explanation.

Bandits value their reputation more than many people, this is one of their livelihoods, so many big bandits, after the robbery, will escort a ride, which can be regarded as collecting money and eliminating disasters. One is to leave some way back for both sides, and the other is to tell the peers in the mountains near sù, I robbed this buddy, the brothers sold face, and the younger brother thanked him, which is also a bodyguard in disguise.

For such a face, in addition to life and death, almost all peers will give it, after all, they are all mixed rice on the knife edge, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not let others sell face to himself in the future. So over time, some thieves have capital, and they have developed into a serious dart game, relying on face more than relying on fists, this phenomenon is also very common.

Having said that, the escort of the bandits is mostly out of rules or mood, and this kind of escort will not be too far. Bandits are also an industry with strict rules, face is useful in their own territory, once they cross the boundary, then they have to be careful, so there are post stations on the general avenues, and there will be some simple tea houses on the road, which are specially for the convenience of people who walk in the past, these tea houses also have some friendship with the nearby mountains, which is a temporary peace, and most of the bandits' escorts will stop here.

In the rivers and lakes that I heard in the past, restaurants and restaurants were the most dangerous places, and martial arts people loved to fight and seek revenge in this kind of place, but in fact, it was not. can afford to open a restaurant restaurant, which is not the master with a deep foundation up and down, not to mention the support of the government behind him, even the thugs he raises are all hard ideas.

In the peaceful and prosperous era, the power of the imperial court is not something that martial arts people dare to touch. In troubled times, it is extremely rare to have a safe place to rest, so if it is not for the pressure of foreign enemies, basically this kind of place is relatively peaceful. If someone dares to make trouble, even if the power of the imperial court is not enough, ordinary martial arts people will be uneven, at least have a friendship with the shopkeeper, and it will be much more convenient to come and go in the future.

After talking so much, our story falls on a small road called Lintian in southern Sichuan. This road is not so tortuous, take such an atmospheric name, just because along this road has been walking, you can reach a town called Lintian, this Lintian is not close to the Son of Heaven, but near the Tianfu of Sichuan Shu, Lintian Town is the last town to enter Sichuan Shu, the past pedestrians recuperate and recuperate in this place, so that although this town is not big, it is very lively.

Out of Lintian Town, along Lintian Road to the south, a hundred miles away is the next town, this town is not large, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, so if the people in the past are not necessary, they would rather be greedy for the dark and hurry, but also rush to Lintian Town. In this way, this Lintian road is very long, so it is very important and necessary to have a tea house on the road.

So a tea house naturally appeared, when it appeared and who built it, these are not important, and no one cares at all, the important thing is that there are delicious tea and wine, and fragrant steamed meatloaf, which is enough.

Although it is early autumn, the weather is still hot, in the Sichuan and Shu area, the four seasons of the year are not distinct, even in late autumn, many people are still just wearing single clothes, because it is located in the south, and it is a basin, here than the northwest and other places, it is later to feel the cold, so early autumn is no different from summer here.

At this time, it is also the hottest time of the day, as if the sun is about to purify the world, burning the earth and steaming out a mist visible to the naked eye. In such weather, everyone wants to have a piece of ice or soak in water to be comfortable. At this time in the past, there would not be too many people coming and going on Lintian Road, but today it is even more scorching hot, and the pedestrians who passed by have not seen a single one for a long time, and in the nameless tea house on the side of the road, a boss and a guy also seem listless, and even the guests who sit quietly and drink tea are not so enthusiastic.

When the sun was blazing and everyone was sleepy, a cool sound of horses' hooves kicking came from afar, which woke up the drowsy boss and his guys, and also attracted the attention of several guests in the tea house. Before long, two fast horses appeared in the sight of several people, both of whom were dressed in blue and carrying long swords, both of them were practitioners, and they were very skilled in driving horses, and they were obviously good at driving.

The two horses appeared in the eyes of everyone in the tea house, and the rider naturally saw the tea house, and the two people immediately added two whips, and the horses under the seat were a little faster, and went straight to the tea house.

When they got closer, the two of them turned over and dismounted, their movements were clean and neat, and they showed that they were of good shape, one of them was about forty years old, and the other was younger, probably in his early twenties. The faces of the two were dark, which should have been caused by the wind and sun all year round, and even the younger ones seemed to be much older than their actual age.

While everyone looked at the two, the two also looked around the tea house, the most eye-catching thing was that there were two young people sitting in the corner, the two were well-proportioned, their eyes were bright, holding the teacup and drinking tea leisurely, the middle-aged man in blue looked at the two people, his eyes were solemn, and the abacus in his heart moved.

Glancing at his companion covertly, signaling him to be careful, the middle-aged man in blue took his attention away from the two young men. The two young men are masters, and the middle-aged blue-clothed people judged in their hearts that he had walked the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, although his martial arts were not the highest in the door, but he was rich in experience, and he could see at a glance that the two young men were not simple.

Having a spirit in his eyes is the best form of cultivation, and there is no sweat on his forehead on such a hot day, obviously the internal force cultivation has reached the point where the cold and heat are not invaded, and it is enough to rank among the first-class masters. The most peculiar thing is the hands of these two young people, generally practicing swords and knives, the cocoons of the tiger's mouth will be heavier, and those who practice boxing and palms, the cocoons are distributed on the fist surface and the palm edge, but there are two people, the hands holding the cup are as white as jade, only the fingertips have a thin layer of cocoons, and they actually practice finger and claw.

Those who practice fingers or claws in the martial arts, if they don't have peerless martial arts such as the four major grapplers, most of them are to increase their finger strength and wrist strength, or they also learn some grappling techniques in case of emergency. In this kind of practice, the calluses on the fingers are definitely not too thick, and they are definitely new calluses.

The two young people in front of them only have a thin layer of calluses on their fingertips, but they seem to be novices who are part-time learners, but the eyes of the middle-aged man in blue are so vicious, and they can see at a glance that the fingertips of the two are not new calluses, but after practicing fingering, they have profound skills and grind the cocoons into such a process.

These two specialize in finger and claw kung fu, their skills are profound, and their practice is so profound, they are obviously unlearned. After making such a judgment, the middle-aged blue-clothed man was shocked, he had rich experience, and two possibilities flashed in his mind: Xiye Zongfeng, Nangong Gonghe.

Nangong Shijia is in Dali, and the family legend is that the crane control hand is known as the one who controls people and does not move, and pays the most attention to the strength of his fingers, but the middle-aged man in blue judged that these two people were definitely not from the Nangong family. Although the two young men are handsome, they have a layer of wind and dust on their faces, if it is not caused by the fatigue of traveling, it must be from the northwest, and if it is west, then there is only the Xiye family.

There was a quick judgment in his heart, but the middle-aged man in blue was silent, he didn't want to make a fuss, and after taking his attention away from the two of them, he just took a cursory look at the others. Two men and women dressed as farmers, both in their thirties, were eating in a corner. Leaning against the side of the tree, there was an old man who looked like a beggar enjoying the shade, and finally the middle-aged man set his eyes on the boss and his buddies in the tea house.

"Four meatloafs, half a catty of meat, and then the water bladder is filled. The middle-aged man handed over a water bag on the horse's belly and said, "There is a labor shop." ”

The two blue-clothed men ran quickly for most of the day, walking more than 100 miles, they were sleepy and tired, and they finally saw the tea house, and they were willing to rest and slow their horsepower, but the appearance of the two young people who he thought was from the Xiye family was a variable, so he had to be cautious, and the plan to rest was immediately dispelled, and he felt that it was the best policy to leave immediately.

The guy in the shop took the water bag and silver taels handed by the man in blue, with a hospitable smile on his face, and said while he was busy: "Okay, wait a minute." Listening to the guest officer's accent, it seems to be from the south, I don't know where the two of them are from. ”

"Just do the work, don't ask what you shouldn't. The young man in blue received the color of the middle-aged man, seemed a little nervous, and said unceremoniously when he heard the buddy culture.

"De'er, don't blame the guest officer, forgive the little talk, seeing that your two masters seem to be very tired, there are still twenty miles ahead to reach Lintian Town, it is better to rest in us for a while, taste our family's characteristic camellia and rice wine, and relieve fatigue." ”

The middle-aged man didn't want to do much, but the guy couldn't stop nagging, he just wanted to leave quickly, and immediately said: "Hugh is going to talk more, just bring me two bottles of rice wine, we are in a hurry, you are quicker, I will give you more money." ”

The fellow happily agreed, and his movements were much faster. However, the world is always impermanent, and the middle-aged man doesn't want to have many things, but the two young people seem to be about to brush his mind, and they just said at this time: "The people of the Dongyang family are really so powerful and wealthy. ”

The five volumes are over, and the knot is a bit fast. Xiao Wu tries to tell the story as quickly as possible, the new volume begins, and the formation is maintained!
