Martial arts long journey

Chapter 560
In the twinkling of an eye, three days passed quietly. In the small border town of Shangyuan in the north of Laizhou Prefecture, pedestrians on the street were in twos and threes, and there was no sign of the constant prosperity of business travelers in the past.

Although Beiyuan City is only a small city in the northernmost part of Laizhou Prefecture, this Beiyuan City is the only place to pass through when entering Laizhou Prefecture from the north. Therefore, Beiyuan City can still be called relatively prosperous in the past. At least the city has never been crowded. There has never been a lack of passing business travelers.

However, because of the recent tragic murders in Laizhou Prefecture, not only did the local Jianghu martial arts forces in Laizhou Prefecture have a feeling of panic and panic, even the tourists and businessmen who went to Laizhou Prefecture in the past were deeply Touching insecurity.

Compared with those traveling merchants who used to travel within the boundaries of Laizhou Prefecture, the number has now been reduced by at least [-]% to [-]%.

As for Beiyuan City, which is the access point to the north of Laizhou Mansion, it is even more desolate and desolate to the extreme.

At this moment, in a streetside restaurant in Beiyuan City, scattered warriors in twos and threes were drinking and spending time here.

I saw one of the middle-aged men dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes slam the wine bowl on the table, and he complained cursingly: "Damn, where did this dragon come from? Such a bloody and horrific murder has been committed within the boundaries of the Laizhou Prefecture, and the caravan travelers from the surrounding counties dare not go to the Laizhou Prefecture. Are the people in the Laizhou Prefecture all living?!"

This middle-aged man is a native of Beiyuan City. His surname is Liu Minggou. There are five brothers in his family. People who know him laugh and call him Liu Ergou. After a long time, the name of Liu Ergou will replace him his real name.

There is a saying that people rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to drink water, Liu Ergou grew up in Beiyuan City since he was a child, and his survival is based on this Beiyuan City.

Liu Ergou, as the local leader of Beiyuan City, is naturally very familiar with the environment of the towns near Beiyuan City, so he makes a living by helping business travelers who are not familiar with the environment here.

Selling information on some surrounding towns, acting as a hooker to match up different caravan deals, the usual small life is quite chic and comfortable.

However, as the news of the tragic murder in the Laizhou prefecture spread farther and farther, the number of business travelers in the Beiyuan city also decreased by seven or eight, which caused Liu Ergou's business to also grow more and more. cold.

If not, it is impossible for Liu Ergou to have time to drink and pass the time in this street restaurant.

At present, most of the people sitting in the street wine shop are low-level martial artists like Liu Ergou in the Jianghu martial arts world. Basically, they are only in the martial arts realm of body forging and blood quenching, and there is no one at all. After the fetal breath realm has recovered.

Hearing Liu Ergou's complaints, the martial artist who has a good relationship with him couldn't help but joked: "Ergouzi, you have to be more careful recently, it's best to treat our brothers to a few good drinks.

Otherwise, our brothers will go to the Laizhou government office to report you, saying that you two dogs are complaining behind your back and slandering Master Zhou, the envoy. "

Hearing this, Liu Ergou's eyes immediately widened as big as copper bells, and he yelled and cursed: "Zhi Niang, how can you people insult Lao Tzu's innocence for no reason? Lao Tzu When did you slander and complain about Mr. Zhou?!"

Although Zhou Yan has not been in control of the Laizhou Prefecture for a long time, his power is the most powerful in the Laizhou Prefecture since ancient times. The destruction of the Liyan Sect at the time shocked all the martial arts people in the Laizhou Prefecture. .

So even if Liu Ergou knew that those people were just joking, he still didn't have the guts to get involved with Zhou Yan.

Seeing Liu Ergou swearing at the street, the man just now was not angry at all, he continued to laugh and said: "Just now you said that the people in the Yamen of Laizhou government eat dry food, you are not complaining Slander Mr. Zhou? If you dare to do it, you must dare to admit it, Er Gouzi!"

After Liu Ergou's expression changed a few times, he shrugged his head and muttered, "I just said that just casually."

In the past, the Laizhou government office was not so powerful and deterrent at all. Although the martial arts people in the Laizhou government would not violate the prohibition laws of the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guards, they never took the Laizhou government office at all. It's a situation where well water doesn't violate river water.

But now since Zhou Yan has taken control of the Jianghu Wulin in Laizhou Prefecture, his power in the Laizhou Prefecture has become more and more powerful. Naturally, Liu Ergou dare not be negligent in the slightest.

However, Liu Ergou still said stubbornly: "Besides, there is nothing wrong with what I said. Is there really nothing the Laizhou government can do to kill those murderous people? Otherwise, we in Beiyuan Why is the city so low and desolate?!"

After the words from Liu Ergou's mouth fell, the attention of these casual warriors in the wine shop also shifted to those murderous stars in Liu Ergou's mouth.

I saw a tall and thin warrior took the words and said: "Don't tell me, those murderous killers are really bloody and ruthless. I heard that everyone died in the murderous star killers Those who died either died of blood bursting out of their bodies, or their internal organs and brains were taken away by their throats cut and skinned."

After picking up the wine bowl and taking a full sip, Liu Ergou wiped his mouth and said, "I heard that those sects of the great aristocratic families have spent a lot of money in order to help Mr. Zhou find these murderous stars. As long as you can provide a little trace, you will be rewarded with 20 taels of red gold.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is wealth that I can't earn after working so hard for a year. It would be great if I could find that group of people! "

While talking, Liu Ergou subconsciously glanced up the street.

If it was in the past, the Beiyuan City was full of tourists and merchants from the nearby Laizhou Prefecture, Liu Ergou really couldn't distinguish those strange faces.

However, the number of pedestrians coming and going in Beiyuan City has decreased a lot now, and those unfamiliar faces are still very clear in the eyes of Liu Ergou and the others.

No, Liu Ergou, who was looking up and looking around, immediately saw the black-clothed warrior coming out of the herbal medicine shop diagonally opposite the wine shop, acting very suspiciously.

The warrior was not only wearing a black robe, but also hid his face under a black hood, which made Liu Ergou couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
