Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 187
After arriving at Jitang Pass, Ran Yuehua found that it was very different from other towns in Jingxi.

Although the town is not big, the wharf is not small. More than a dozen trestle bridges made of stone and wood cross the river beach and go deep into the river. The number of ships is no less than that of an ordinary county town.

Checkpoints have been set up at several passages from the pier to the town, but they do not charge tolls, but registration is required.

"Registration?" Chi Shao glared at the gang members wearing Shenmu Gang uniforms through the gauze curtain of the brim of the hat, "Registration for what?"

Although Chi Shao was very fierce, but the Shenmu Gang member who looked not young still smiled and said: "It's very simple, just tell me your name, place of origin, and what you do when you come to Jitangguan."

"In a small town, how can there be such rules?" Chi Shao was annoyed, as if she didn't want to register.

The group of people laughed and said: "We are also here to prevent bad guys from mixing into the town, and I ask the female heroes to forgive me and cooperate."

Ran Yuehua saw that Chi Shao wanted to say more, so she stopped her, stepped forward and said: "Hua Yue, native of Gao'an County, Yiling Prefecture, via Jitang Pass. Are you okay?"

Another member of the gang next to him quickly recorded Ran Yuehua's message, nodded and said, "It's ok."

After Ran Yuehua passed the checkpoint, she looked at the other three.

The three of them were not stupid, so they immediately made up a pseudonym, unified their hometowns, and registered at the checkpoints one after another.

Walking into the town, Chi Shao couldn't help but said: "With such a checkpoint, you think it can prevent traitors? Didn't they sneak in casually? It's ridiculous."

Ran Yuehua smiled and said, "Something is better than nothing, at least it can make Xiao Xiao restrained."

Walking on the streets compacted with fine sand and gravel, Ran Yuehua felt that Jitangguan was much cleaner and tidier than other small towns in Jingxi.

There are only a few places in the town where there are small stalls and hawkers, but the positions are all restricted by wooden fences, neatly, and do not affect the carriages, horses and pedestrians on the street at all.

As far as the eye can see, not only is there no trace of people defecating indiscriminately in the town, but even litter such as fallen leaves and branches is rare.

After turning to the west street entrance of the town, Ran Yuehua even saw a "market" composed of small vendors, and they were all planned into neat areas with wooden fences.During the walk, it is smooth and accessible, and there is no chaos like other prosperous towns.

Stopping in front of an old woman selling hairpin flowers, and bought a jujube wood hairpin with its own pattern of wood grain, Ran Yuehua took the opportunity to ask: "Old woman, Jitangguan looks much cleaner and tidier than other towns. There are many rules, has it always been like this?"

"Of course not." The old woman was happy to chat with people, and said with a smile: "In the past, like other towns, our place was full of excrement and urine, and the stalls and hawkers were all vying for positions. Later, it was the leader of the Ouyang Gang who set the rules, so that the Our Jitangguan has become as good as it is now."

"I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes. At the beginning, my old lady, like everyone else, secretly complained to the leader of the Ouyang gang, thinking that he was too strict. But later I found out that after the town was organized according to the rules of the gang leader Ouyang, the town was much better than before. There are a lot more customers coming and going, and my wife is also getting rich, and can earn more copper coins every month, and doing business is much more comfortable."

After walking out of Jitang Pass, Ran Yuehua still heard what the old woman said.

Then he stopped involuntarily and asked, "Do you feel that Ouyang Ye is very different from other Jiang Hu people?"

Chi Shao curled her lips and said, "Of course it's very different, the eyes and mouth are crooked."

Baiji laughed when he heard this, and followed the words: "I heard people say that Ouyang Ye was a dementia more than a year ago, fat and ugly, and then he went crazy in the favorite building in the town, and he suddenly became enlightened." .”

Bai Ji said this as a joke, so naturally he felt that the rumors were unreliable.

It may happen that a demented child immediately becomes madly enlightened, but after more than a year of enlightenment, martial arts can be practiced to the state of true energy, and the strength is even comparable to the state of samadhi, which is hard to believe.

Although she knew that Chi Shao and Baiji were trying to make her happy, Ran Yuehua was still a little helpless.

Is this what she said?
She was clearly talking about Ouyang Ye's talents other than martial arts—whether it was a series of reforms to the Shenmu Gang or the rectification of Jitangguan Town, they were all beyond the imagination of ordinary people in the Jianghu.

In this martial arts world, in the rivers and lakes, there may be some people with both civil and military skills.

But those who claim to be "both civil and military" can do the step of being a capable official among the civil officials of the court.

And Ouyang Ye's ideas and concepts revealed in Shenmu Gang's series of reforms, Jitangguan Township renovation, and Yiling Mansion's examination, combined with her past and present experience, all feel refreshing.

Knowing this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency to see Ouyang Ye.

If she planned to seek refuge with Ouyang Ye before, she mainly focused on Ouyang Ye's martial arts and the current power base of the Shenmu Gang; then, now she is more concerned about Ouyang Ye's personal ability and Ouyang Ye's future.

"It's just that, judging from his character, if he wants him to accept me and help me, I'm afraid he has to show some 'real ability'."

Thinking so in her heart, Ran Yuehua said to Sister Gou and the three of them: "Let's go quickly, the sooner I go to Wu County to settle the matter, the sooner I can feel at ease."

"Yes, ma'am."

···
Wu County, Longji Ridge.

The head of the Shenmu Gang.

Ouyang Ye is taking Lin Wenyang, Chen Lai, and Huang Dexing to inspect a construction site.

With the expansion of the power of the Shenmu Gang, the buildings left by the previous Wushan faction soon felt that they were not enough.

In addition, the original architectural style of Wushan School was mainly magnificent, and the layout was not large enough.For example, a small square seen from the mountain road will feel crowded after 500 people stand.

One of the construction projects at this time was to expand the square to accommodate ten thousand people.

A palace will then be built at one end of the Grand Place.

In addition to its meeting function, the palace is mainly used as the facade of the Shenmu Gang.

At this moment, the foundation of the palace has just been laid, but Ouyang Ye has already thought of the name of the palace, and it is called "Taiyi Palace".

After inspecting the construction site, Ouyang Ye walked away not far away, and a member of the Xuntang gang came quickly, and there was a letter on the ground, saying: "Leader, a letter from Master Yang Banner."

Ouyang Ye took the letter, opened it and browsed it on the spot.

In the letter, Yang Erqing mainly reported on his further arrangement of the Jianshi County gang members and the business he took over before.

Of course, what he personally handles is mainly the Tuxing Banner, that is, the manpower and "business" of bandits and bandits.

Other aspects of manpower and business are handled by people in the Shenmu Gangmutang, gambling hall, medicine hall and other related halls. He is only in charge of supervision and the prime minister.

At the end of the letter, Yang Erqing thanked him.

With the help of the Chixi Pill that Ouyang Ye rewarded, Yang Erqing was finally able to walk the small circle with his true energy two days ago, breaking through to the true energy state!
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!" Ouyang Ye laughed happily after reading the letter.

Seeing this, Chen Lai asked with a smile, "Master, what makes you so happy?"

Lin Wenyang and Huang Dexing also showed curiosity.

Ouyang Ye raised the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Erqing sent a letter, saying that he broke through to the Real Qi Realm two days ago. My Shenmu Gang licked another real Qi Realm expert, and now there are four major True Qi Realm masters." warrior."

After hearing Ouyang Ye's words, the three of them also showed joy.

Chen Lai thought for a while, and was about to shout a slogan to congratulate Ouyang Ye, when he saw another gang member walking quickly.

Chen Lai recognized that this was the brother guarding the mountain gate, he must have something important to come up the mountain, so he swallowed what he wanted to say.
