Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Among the nine states in the Central Plains, Zhongzhou ranks first.

Zhongzhou is located in the central part of Kyushu, connecting Jingzhou to the south, Xuzhou to the east, Jizhou to the north, and Yongzhou to the west.

When Yao's court founded the country, it named Kyoto the city in the middle of Zhongzhou and called it the divine capital.

In terms of martial arts, almost all the other eight states in the world are led by the Holy Land of Martial Arts, simply because the top local martial artists all came from the Holy Land.

However, in Zhongzhou, the strongest one is the imperial court.

With Shendu as the center and spreading to the surrounding areas, the entire Zhongzhou was under the tight control of the imperial court.

In other states, the imperial court could only use the orthodox righteousness of the world to suppress all forces.

But in Zhongzhou, they can really follow their words and command the heroes, and no one dares to disobey!
The reason why Zhongzhou is called Zhongzhou is precisely because it is located in the center of the Nine Provinces and is blessed with fertile land.

For thousands of years, in the past dynasties, no matter how the country changed, no matter who became the emperor, after unifying the world, the capital would be located in Zhongzhou, so that it would be the center to guard the world.

It is precisely because Zhongzhou has such favorable geographical conditions and the needs of the imperial court that this state has become the best state in the world.

Whether it is population, resources, or even military force, it is far ahead of the other eight states.

The wealth of Zhongzhou can also be seen from this!
And the closer you get to the divine capital, the more abundant it becomes.

The city of Shendu alone is said to have nearly 300 million residents, and the villages and residences that rely on Shendu outside the city are even more dotted and difficult to count.

Within twenty miles from the divine capital to the southeast and northwest, many satellite cities were built as a barrier to the divine capital.

The garrison city in the east is called Fengcheng. It is the only way to go to and from the divine capital in the direction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the east. Traffickers and pawns, and knights and warriors walk in it, making it very lively.

This day, noon.

The scorching sun in early summer is already quite torturous.

There are many teahouses along the official road two miles east of the closed city where people can rest, which is the busiest time of the day.

Among them, the largest one, Li Ji Tea Shop, has twenty or thirty small square tables. Pedestrians stopped in twos and threes to drink tea and rest for a while.

Among the rivers and lakes, tea shops, restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses have the most complex personnel.

The Li family tea shop is no exception. There are both business people, wanderers, and ordinary people in the market.

When there are more people, it will naturally become noisy, gossiping and discussing.

But at this time, no one dared to approach the table closest to the roadside in the tea shop.

The three middle-aged men sitting there placed three different weapons on the table. They had a cold face and an amazing aura. They revealed a posture that no strangers should enter.

Anyone can see that they are not easy to mess with.

Near Kyoto, master hermits often travel around the country, and no one knows their identities. This also makes most people cautious and cautious, for fear of offending others accidentally.

At this time, no one within a foot around the three people dared to strike up a conversation.

They had been sitting there for a long time. They appeared here early in the morning and sat there for a full two hours.

They did not sit quietly, but looked up at the official road to the east from time to time. Whenever someone walked by, they would look at it carefully. Sometimes they even stood up and walked over to take a look.

Anyone with a discerning eye can also see that they are waiting for someone, and they have no agreement with the person they are waiting for.

Judging from their posture, they are here to cause trouble!
Unfortunately, they waited for a long time, but no one showed up, leading to the current situation.

After serving tea and snacks to the guests, a young waiter in the tea shop returned to the shopkeeper and couldn't help but whisper: "Master, those three people have been occupying the table for a long time, which is affecting our business! In the past half day, it's just them. One table is a waste of how much money we can make!”

The shopkeeper was in his 40s, had a goatee, and looked shrewd. After hearing what the waiter said, he glanced at him and said, "How about you go talk to them?"

The young man shrank his neck and said, "You don't dare!"

The shopkeeper glared at him and said, "Then what are you talking about? Bunny, have you forgotten how I usually teach you?"

The young man muttered: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten! Talk less, look less, do less!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "Since you remember, then do it! Tell me again what you mean!"

The young man said helplessly: "Speak less and don't talk too much. If you talk too much, you will be criticized. Look less. Don't look too much. There is danger in looking too much. Do less. If you do too much, you will make more mistakes."

The shopkeeper exclaimed: "This is my life-saving motto, and I will teach it to you without hesitation. It is your blessing, so don't be ignorant!"

The waiter said feebly: "I know, shopkeeper! Your life is important, and life is the first priority!"

The shopkeeper knew that he wouldn't listen, but he still said: "My tea shop has been open here for 20 years, and I have met more people than you have eaten rice! Who haven't I seen, what haven't I encountered? Robbers and thieves, young masters from aristocratic families, and heroes from all walks of life have all stopped at my tea shop, and it is not uncommon for them to get into fights and kill people. However, the reason why I, old Zhangtou, have been able to live peacefully until now is by adhering to this principle. in principle!"

"Got it!" the guy surrendered.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper sighed: "Brother Tong, I know that you yearn for the martial arts very much. You dream of becoming a peerless master one day, roaming the rivers and lakes, and taking pleasure in vengeance. However, I have also taught you martial arts, but you have practiced all your inner energy. If you don't come out, it shows that you really have no martial arts talent, so you should give up!"

The boy's eyes widened and he said: "Old Zhangtou, if you don't expose your shortcomings, I can still be your boy; if you slap me in the face again, believe it or not, I will give up my burden!"

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Get out! Go get some tea for the guests!"

"Okay!" The young waiter picked up the teapot and walked among the guests.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, complaining that today's young people are really difficult to discipline. He was obviously the shopkeeper who paid the other party's salary, but the other party acted like he was the boss. He would not listen to orders from time to time, and would threaten to resign and make demands. If you ask for conditions, it’s not enough if you don’t agree!
"Alas! I remember how diligent I was when I came out to make a living..." The shopkeeper sighed secretly, thinking back to those years: that was his lost youth, and he thought of the shadow running in the sunset...

While reminiscing, the shopkeeper also secretly looked at the three guests in the A sign.

He had seen a lot of this kind of gangsters waiting for people at roadside tea shops, and he could predict what would happen next.

If he guessed correctly, these three people were here to seek revenge and were just waiting for their target to appear.

As long as the other party shows up, it will be a scene of a big fight!

As for whether to fight in the middle of the road or in a tea shop, it depends on the situation.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper felt a touch of sadness in his heart: "Please don't do anything violent in my shop!"

The gangsters, as soon as their temper gets angry or impulsive, don't care about anything, even killing people, so how can they care about their small tea shop?
Sometimes, when encountering such people, it is inevitable that the tea shop items will be damaged.

The only good thing is that this is the capital of the capital, not far from the gods, and the city is also closed. Ordinary gangsters don't dare to take action against civilians.

First of all, there are many people in Zhongzhou, and there are many experts among the people. If you think he is a common man, he might get angry and draw his sword, showing that he is more powerful than you.By then it will be difficult to tell who is the hunter and who is the prey.Even if he is really a commoner, you can't guarantee that there are no masters watching him. He may arouse the heart of a master knight, and he may draw his sword to help when there is injustice. If he stands up for the common people and fights you for [-] rounds, that would be a big loss.

In addition, Zhongzhou is rich and is the center of the world. Zhongzhou people have always had an indescribable arrogance and vaguely look down on the people of other states.

Especially people from the Gyeonggi region usually behave in a superior and proud manner. If you dare to bully him, he will really dare to report it to the official afterwards!
Once you report it to the official, someone will accept it.

Dayao established his country with force, and he paid more attention to the control of warriors. The capital of the gods and the capital of the world were even more strict in this regard.

The power of the Zhen Yiwei is the most powerful in Zhongzhou. Not only do they have many people, but they also have many experts. They are always paying attention to the situation in Shendu and the surrounding areas. If they receive a warrior who is trying to kill the people, they will really dare to pursue the murderer and kill him. quick.

Under such circumstances, all warriors who come near the divine capital must keep a low profile.

The court doesn't care about the fighting in the rivers and lakes; once they take action against their innocent civilians, the killer will be greeted with thunderous methods.

So he has been peaceful here for decades, not only because of his cautious temperament, but also because of the intimidating power of the imperial court.

Lao Zhangtou understands this better than anyone else.

From time to time, he encountered people who fought and destroyed items in his tea shop. Afterwards, most of these people would throw away some silver coins as compensation for him.

Therefore, although he was worried now, he was not afraid. When he was free, he followed the movements of the three guests and looked in the direction of the official road to see who was working and their driver was waiting here.

In fact, the shopkeeper has already recognized one of the three guests.

The middle-aged swordsman with a slightly round face sitting on the right side of the outside has also been to this tea shop before and even called out its name.

The shopkeeper could recognize him because his name was relatively loud.

"Huang Qing?" The shopkeeper remembered this name, "Jianghu nicknamed Kuangfengdao? The Sixth Leader of the Seven Star Gang?"

The Seven Star Gang is a well-known martial arts gang in eastern Zhongzhou. It was founded 20 years ago by seven sworn brothers.

At first, because the seven of them were still young, their martial arts skills were not obvious, and the gang was not well-known. At most, they were just little shrimps in the gang who stayed together for warmth.

Now 20 years have passed, and these seven brothers have broken through the six realms one after another. They are loyal and loyal people. They have gathered a large group of powerful people in the world and have achieved great success.

There are also rumors that their leader has been promoted to a master in the upper three realms.

There is a world of difference between the Seventh Realm and the Sixth Realm.

With masters from the Seventh Realm sitting in charge and a group of helpers from the Sixth and Fifth Realms below, this Jianghu sect will definitely attract attention.

The shopkeeper had heard about them from the customers of the tea shop a while ago——

"Eh?!" The shopkeeper was suddenly shocked, "A few days ago, that person said that the Seven Star Gang had encountered an incident, and their Seven Star Gang leader was killed, causing a big disturbance in the eastern part of Zhongzhou. He also said that the Seven Star Gang was in full force. , chasing the murderer, vowing to avenge their seven gang leaders. These three people are not here for that person, are they? "

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's heart became heavier and heavier.

This is a deadly feud, and the Seven Star Gang will never let it go.

If he really takes action, he will fight to the death, and he might be killed in a blinding manner.

"How about closing the shop quickly?" The shopkeeper had the idea of ​​closing the shop quickly and getting away from the center of right and wrong.

"Huang Qing is the leader of the six gangs, and the other two are..." The shopkeeper became more and more frightened because he found that Huang Qing's seat was the lowest among the three.

Every time there was movement in the official road, Huang Qing got up to check the movement, and then came back to say something to the other two people.

The other two people were sitting calmly.

This means that these two people have a higher status in the Seven Star Gang than Huang Qing?

"The leader of the seventh gang was killed, the leader of the sixth gang came out, then five, four, three and two..." The shopkeeper did not dare to look further.

It's better not to provoke such a powerful person.

While the shopkeeper was deep in thought, suddenly, the deep voice of the thin middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table among the three guests sounded: "Someone is here, riding a horse, is it him?"

Huang Qing stood up in a hurry. Before he walked out of the tea shop, he looked at the man coming on horseback from the east side of the official road. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "He is dressed in white, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and carrying a box... box! It's him!" it's him!"

Hoohoo!

The other two people also stood up, followed Huang Qing and drifted out instantly, lined up in a row, and blocked the middle of the road.

Their actions attracted the attention of those around them.

The shopkeeper of Li Ji Tea Shop was startled when he saw his waiter running up to the railing of the shop and looking around. He hurriedly ran over and pulled him back a little: "You bastard, you don't want your life! What did I say? Look less! Sometimes even if you are just watching, disaster will come from the sky and bring disaster to the fish in the pond."

The waiter didn't take it seriously, broke free from the shopkeeper's hand, and came closer: "Old Zhangtou, please don't make such a fuss. There are so many people watching, and I'm not the only one! Look, the people across the street have all gone to the roadside to watch the fun. Woolen cloth!"

"you……"

"Oh!" Suddenly, the older man shouted, "Old Zhangtou, look, the person they stopped was so weird! He was wearing white clothes and a black hat. Didn't he tell others who he was? ! I have no intention of hiding my identity at all.”

The shopkeeper looked solemn and said: "This shows that he is very confident and confident. He is not afraid of the people from the Seven Star Gang at all."

"Are these three people from the Seven Star Gang?" The young man was startled. He was in the tea shop, and the people he interacted with were from various religions, so he had a lot of information, and he had also heard about the power of the Seven Star Gang in the eastern part of Zhongzhou.

At this time, some people in the crowd recognized the identities of these three people, and they all screamed:
"Isn't that Huang Qing! The sixth child of the Seven Star Gang!"

"More than that, the thinner man next to him is the second gang leader of the Seven Star Gang; the shorter one on the other side is the fifth gang leader. Three masters of the Sixth Realm came in a row. Who are they going to deal with?"

"Could it be..."

"What is it? Come on, tell me, what's the point?"

"I heard that someone stabbed Lao Qi Guxiang of the Seven Star Gang through the throat alive in the east of Zhongzhou a while ago. In the past few days, all members of the Seven Star Gang have been dispatched to chase the man for thousands of miles, but they all failed. Now there is no end to the traffic jam. Could it be that person?"

"Who is so fierce?"

"Then! You'll know just by looking at it!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the man who was blocked on the official road on horseback reined in the reins and slowly came to the three leaders of the Seven Star Gang.

He leaned forward and said casually: "Huang Laoliu, Mr. Chu spared your life that day, but now you come to your door to seek death. The birthday man has eaten arsenic and is tired of living?" (End of this chapter)
