This is a small city, said that the small town is actually just a big town, the name is also called Qingniu Town, only those who live in the nearby ravine, do not have much knowledge, only "Qingniu City" and "Qingniu City" are called non-stop. This is the heartfelt words of Zhang Er, who has been working for more than ten years.

Qingniu Town is indeed not big, the main street only has an east-west Qingniu Street, and even the inn has only one Qingniu Inn, the inn is located at the west end of the long shaped town, so the past merchants can only live here if they don't want to sleep in the wilderness.

Now there is a horse-drawn carriage that has driven a lot of roads at a glance, driving into Qingniu Town from the west, speeding through the gate of Qingniu Inn, stopping without stopping, until it gallops to the other end of the town, in front of the door of Chunxiang Restaurant, and then stops.

Chunxiang Restaurant is not big, and even a little old, but it has an antique charm. Because it is lunch time, there are still many customers in the restaurant, and it is almost full.

A fat man with a round face and a mustache and a dark-skinned, teenage child got out of the car, and the man swaggered into the restaurant with the child. Some regular customers in the restaurant recognized the fat man and knew that he was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, "Han Fatzi", but no one knew who the child was.

"Old Han, this black boy looks very similar to you, it won't be the son born to your mother-in-law behind your back. One person suddenly quipped.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone next to him burst into laughter.

"Phew! This is my own nephew brought by my family, and of course he is a little like me. The fat man was not only not angry, but also a little proud.

These two people are Han Li, who has just entered the town after three days in a row, and his third uncle are called "Han Fatzi" by others.

Han Fatzi greeted a few regular customers, and then took Han Li to the back of the restaurant and came to a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.

"Xiao Li, you have a good rest in this house, take care of your spirits, and when the steward of the inner door comes, I will call you over, I will go out first and greet a few regular customers. Han Fatzi pointed to the wing room in the courtyard and said to him kindly.

After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly walked out.

When he arrived at the door, he seemed to feel a little uneasy, and gave another instruct.

"Don't run around, there are too many people in the town, don't get lost, it's best not to go out of the yard." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Han Li's honest agreement, he was truly relieved to walk out.

Han Li felt very tired when he saw the third uncle walking out of the house, so he fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep, not even having the slightest feeling of being afraid of life.

In the evening, a small servant brought a meal, although it was not a big fish or meat, but it was delicious. After eating, a small servant walked in again and brought out the leftover rice bowl, and then the third uncle walked in unhurriedly.

"How's it going, the food is still to your liking, are you a little homesick?"

"Well, I kind of thought about it. "Han Lixian is very well-behaved.

The third uncle seemed to be very satisfied with Han Li's answer, and then chatted with him about some common things, bragging about some interesting things he had experienced. Gradually, Han Li lost his sense of restraint, and he began to talk and laugh with him.

And so, two days passed.

On the third day, when Han Li finished dinner and was waiting for the third uncle to come and tell him the story of the rivers and lakes, another carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

The carriage is black and shiny with black paint, and the driving is also an uncommon yellow horse that is one in a hundred, and the most eye-catching thing is that there is a small triangular black flag with the word "Xuan" on the frame of the carriage, with a red edge of silver characters, which naturally reveals an indescribable mysterious color.

Seeing this small flag, all veterans of the rivers and lakes who have walked around in this radius of hundreds of miles know that the "Seven Xuanmen", one of the two overlords of this place, has important people coming to the local area.

"Seven Xuanmen", also known as "Seven Peerless Gates", was founded by the famous "Seven Peerless Masters" two hundred years ago, and once dominated Jingzhou for decades, and even penetrated several states close to Jingzhou, and was also famous in the entire Yue Kingdom. But since the death of the "Seven Absolute Masters", the power of the "Seven Xuanmen" has plummeted, and other sects have joined forces to squeeze out of Jingzhou City, the capital of Jingzhou. A hundred years ago, the sect was forced to relocate to the most remote place in Jingzhou - Xianxia Mountain, and since then it has taken root and settled everywhere, falling into a third-rate local small force.

There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, after all, Qixuanmen used to be a big sect, and its potential is still extraordinary. When he came to Caixia Mountain, he immediately controlled more than a dozen small towns, including "Qingniu Town", and had three or four thousand disciples, and was one of the two veritable overlords in the local area.

The only other force in the local area that can compete with the Seven Xuanmen is the "Wild Wolf Gang".

The predecessor of the Wild Wolf Gang was a group of horse thieves who burned and killed and plundered within the boundaries of Jingzhou, and later after several encirclements and suppressions by the government, some of them accepted the government's recruitment, and the other part of the horse thieves became the Wild Wolf Gang, but the fierceness of the horse thieves who were fierce and bloodthirsty, and dared to kill and fight was passed down together, so the Seven Xuanmen was repeatedly at a disadvantage when it clashed with the Wild Wolf Gang.

Although there are many towns and villages controlled by the Wild Wolf Gang, they will not be able to operate, and the degree of wealth is far less than that of the towns under the Seven Xuanmen. The Wild Wolf Gang is very covetous of several wealthier territories under the Seven Xuanmen, and has often provoked conflicts between the two recently, which has caused a headache for the current Qixuanmen master, which has also become the main reason why the Qixuanmen has repeatedly expanded the number of disciples in the sect in recent years.

A thin man in his forties jumped out of the carriage, this man was agile, obviously not weak, and seemed to be familiar with this place, and strode straight to the house where Han Li was.

As soon as Third Uncle Han Li saw this person, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and gave a salute.

"Protector Wang, why did your old man bring someone here personally?"

"Hmph!" Wang Protector snorted coldly, his face proud.

"The road is not very smooth during this time, we must strengthen our defense, the elder ordered me to personally come to lead the people, don't talk nonsense, this kid is the person you want to promote?"

"Yes, yes, this is my own nephew, and I hope that the king will take care of him more on the way to protect the Dharma. ”

Seeing that the man looked a little impatient, Han Fatzi quickly took out a heavy bag from his body and handed it over secretly

The Wang Protector flipped the bag, and his expression relaxed a little.

"Han Fatzi, are you quite good at being a man! Your nephew and I will take care of one or two on the way, it's not too early, so let's hurry up and get on the road." ”
