Chapter 267 Jiangjiu Town

The car is chaotic, the horse is Xiaoxiao.

Pedestrians have swords at their waists.

Jiangjiu Town is located on the west side of Aolai Mansion.

After passing this small town, it belongs to the boundary of Xiuyang Mansion.

Zhao Quan and Mo Wuqing set off from Qianshan City, and arrived at Jiangjiu Town in just over a day.

This is because the two of them did not choose to follow the official path, but performed lightness kung fu and marched in a straight line.

Although the official road is flat and wide, it takes a lot of twists and turns and takes more time.

Concerned about Wangqingguo, Zhao Quan gave up the comfort of riding in a carriage, but performed lightness kung fu together with Mo Wuqing and hurried on the road at full speed.

It took the two of them more than a day to arrive at Jiangjiu Town.

Travel all the way in a hurry, so as not to be in a hurry.

So after the two entered Jiangjiu Town, they decided to make some repairs here.

Then move on.

Jiangjiu Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers. If you go out of the town and go south for thirty or fifty miles, you can enter Jiuhulu Mountain.

This mountain is not very high, but it has a strange appearance. It is famous for its shape like nine gourds staggering to and fro.

In the town, there is a small branch flowing from the Li River, which runs through the whole town.

That's why it was named Jiangjiu Town.

The town is divided into two halves by the Lijiang River, connected by a white stone bridge in the middle.

Mo Wuqing has already inquired that there is only one large inn in this town, which is located in the south of the town.

If Zhao Quan and his wife wanted to go, they had to cross the whole town.

Because Baishi Bridge is the transportation hub of this town, there are relatively more people coming and going.

When the two passed the bridge, they suddenly saw a muscular young man standing in front of Zhao Quan.

Looking around, I saw that this was a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tough appearance, wearing a short shirt, showing the bulging muscles on his arms.

The whole person looks rather masculine.

But what he did at this time did not match his temperament at all. At this time, he was anxious, and he didn't realize that his sudden appearance might be regarded as an attacker by others.

He said to Zhao Quan: "Brother, brother, don't rush away"

Zhao Quan frowned slightly, but did not continue.

Mo Wuqing also stopped and looked at the man with interest.

Zhao Quan said coldly: "What's the matter?"

The man hurriedly said: "Brother, can you do me a favor, my friend was caught by the gang in the town, can you help me save her?"

From just now, Zhao Quan saw this young man blocking the bridge, and when he saw someone, he stepped forward to ask anxiously.

But most people waved their hands to avoid him and ignored him.

Zhao Quan originally thought that his relatives were lost, so he was looking for them here.

Unexpectedly, he went to the doctor in an emergency, his friend was kidnapped, and he ran to the street to ask for help. He was really naive.

Now Zhao Quan just wants to find that inn and take a good bath.

He never pretends to be a hero, and he doesn't want to do justice for the sky for no reason.

So when the young man made the request with full expectation, Zhao Quandang even chose to refuse.

"No time, get out of the way."

Hearing Zhao Quan's cold answer, the young man was not discouraged, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No brother, we are paid, and we won't let you help for nothing."

As he spoke, he reached into his bosom to grope for a while before taking it out.

He opened his palm and saw that there were only five copper plates.

Even Mo Wuqing, who was at the side, let out a burst of laughter, and said, "Little friend, for five copper coins, you can go to the alley to see if there are any beggars."

The young man turned his head to look at Mo Wuqing with a blank expression, not knowing why.

Mo Wuqing immediately said: "Maybe he is a member of the beggar gang, so you can use these five copper coins to hire him to save your friend, hahahaha"

The young man naturally heard Mo Wurui's ridicule, his face flushed suddenly, his hands tightly clutched the five copper coins, but he was speechless.

Zhao Quan didn't care about this little episode.

After the imperial court weakened, the yamen in various places basically became decorations.

The Jianghu gangs with a little bit of power are not afraid of the control of the Yamen at all.

Most of the yamen now serve at most to mediate trivial conflicts among ordinary people.

Then collect some thank you fees to live.

From what the young man said, it was a small local gang that took his friend away.

Obviously, this is not something the Yamen can manage.

It's just that, like him, he directly stops people on the road and asks others for help.

It is indeed a bit unreliable.

However, none of these had anything to do with Zhao Quan. He continued to walk straight ahead and was about to get off the Baishi Bridge.

Mo Wuqing cast a helpless look at the young man, and said with a chuckle, "Good luck, kid."

Then he followed Zhao Quan in front.

As soon as the two left, they saw a group of men suddenly huffing and screaming at the bridge entrance on the other side.

Most of these people held wooden sticks, and the leader had an obvious scar on his face.

He was the only one holding a long knife.

Dao Scar raised the long knife, pointed it away, and said: "Good you brat, I finally let Lao Tzu catch you!"

What he was pointing at was the young man who wanted to ask Zhao Quan for help.

Seeing that his expression changed, he stopped asking for help, and quickly turned around and ran away.

The scar sternly said: "Don't run! Chase me!"

With an order, about 20 punks rushed directly to Baishi Bridge.

There were many passers-by on the bridge, as well as small merchants and hawkers.

As a result, the young man panicked and bumped into several people in a row. Coupled with the pursuit of more than 20 people behind him, the scene was chaotic.

Zhao Quan also heard the sound behind him. He didn't want to get involved in these messy things, so he led Mo Wuqing away from the central area and came to the bridge.

More than 20 people chased him, especially in places like the bridge that were not too spacious, and he would soon be overtaken.

A gangster with a wooden stick swooped forward, trying to throw the young man down.

As a result, it hung on the young man's back, and was thrown over his shoulder by him, directly falling out.

Bang!
A hawker's vegetable basket by the roadside was smashed over, and all the vegetables fell out.

The young man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it."

But the reaction was quite quick. When he lowered his head suddenly, a wooden stick whizzed past his head.

He dodged the blow and was just about to continue running away when another person hugged his right leg.

Looking down, it turned out to be the one he threw out just now.

It was too late to shake it off, only to hear the whistling wind.

A stick hit him from behind, right on his back.

Click!

The wooden stick broke on the spot, but the young man didn't seem to feel it. He kicked his leg violently and threw the gangster who was holding his leg out.

Then continue running towards the bridge.

But after this barrier, most of the more than 20 people caught up.

As soon as I got under the bridge, I was surrounded by people in the middle.

Seeing that the young man had nowhere to retreat, Scar who walked at the end laughed.

"Stinky boy, when you smashed my casino, did you think about today!"

However, Scar was handsome for only three seconds, and just after he finished speaking harshly, he felt a gust of evil wind hit the back of his head.

Bang!
A wooden stick hit his head firmly, and a trace of blood immediately slid down his forehead.

Behind him was a slender young man in white with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

When the boss is attacked, those gangsters will not just sit idly by and immediately go to help.

I saw the young man in white shouting to the masculine youth trapped under the bridge: "Run!"

After all, it doesn't matter whether he ran or not, he turned around and ran anyway.

Zhao Quan was always by the bridge, leaning against the railing to watch the play.

It turned out that this white-clothed young man was with the previous masculine young man.

Scar wiped his forehead, only to see bright red blood stains in his hands.

In an instant, anger filled his eyes, and he shouted: "Don't move around, catch that kid for me first!"

As for himself, he turned around and used his sword skills, and slashed at the young man in white who was attacking him.
