The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

Chapter 198
Baling, one of the five counties of Baling County, has many hills. It is rumored that in summer, there lived a vicious giant snake in the deep mountains of Dongting. It was called Ba Snake, and it was sixty feet long.

The whole body of the Ba snake is a strange blue color, bloodthirsty and cruel, and highly poisonous. When it opens its mouth, it can spray the venom to a distance of [-] meters, attacking and eating the passing creatures.

Knowing this, the Heavenly Court sent Hou Yi, who had shot down nine suns, to Dongting to kill the demon snake. After Hou Yi shot the Ba snake, the Ba snake turned into bones and turned into hills. People in the Eastern Jin Dynasty built an ancient city here, called Baling. .

By the time of the Sui Dynasty, Baling had evolved into a prosperous city.

Baling City is divided into three bustling cities, North City, South City, and West City. The three cities are full of shops and merchants.

At this moment, outside the west gate of Baling City, there was a young man leaning against the wall, looking towards the east from time to time, until he saw two horsemen coming through the dust in the distance, dismounting at the gate, the young man's eyes lit up, and he stared carefully at the gate. The leading knight took a few glances, then hurriedly squeezed the person blocking the way in front of him, and came in front of the rider.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Song is in person?"

The rider is also a young man, only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in black clothes and carrying a long knife, he is outstanding, his eyes are like deep pools of black jade, when he saw someone asking a question, he said casually: "I am Song Xing."

The young man showed joy, and his dark face revealed a sense of wit, and he said in a low voice: "The Baling branch of the Dajiang Gang is at the helm of Lu Chengnan, and I have met Mr. Song."

Two days ago, Song Xing received a report from Mu Jiangyin, saying that he had found Song Wenshao's whereabouts after going down the mountain, so he followed the track shown in the intelligence all the way to Baling County.

The young man Lu Chengnan in front of him is the disciple of the Dajiang Gang who was last seen in the intelligence about Song Wenshao appearing in Baling.

Song Xing threw the rein in his hand to Lu Chengnan, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we enter the city."

Lu Chengnan took the reins with a wink, followed Song Xing step by step, and walked towards the city gate. At the same time, he turned his eyes slightly and carefully looked at another rider beside Song Xing.

Although the rider's attire tends to be neutral, but Lu Chengnan, who has been walking around in the market since he was a child, can still tell at a glance that this person is a woman.

Looking at Song Xing walking ahead, Lu Chengnan couldn't help guessing Song Xing's true identity.

Mu Jiangyin established the Dajiang Gang secretly, and his identity on the surface was unknown, so Lu Chengnan did not know Song Xing's identity. This time, he joined because of his good memory, recalling the whereabouts of an old Taoist that the Dajiang Gang tracked down this time. The upper eye sent him to quietly pick Song Xing into the city.

Lu Chengnan stepped forward cautiously, and asked, "Mr. Song, the sub-rudder is not far from the west of the city. Do you want the younger one to lead you?"

Song Xing shook his head and refused, and said, "Take me directly to Liufu Casino."

Liufu Gambling Hall was the place where Song Wenshao came down the mountain from Qingyang Temple and appeared for the last time. When he reappeared later, he was seriously injured and fled Baling.

Lu Chengnan didn't dare to say any more. After entering the city, he took Song Xing and his two through the city and headed for the busiest street in the city.

Rong Jiaojiao, who was walking at the end, stared thoughtfully at the great evil king with long swords on Song Xing's back.

Originally, when Song Xing heard the news about Song Wenshao, Song Xing decided to go to Baling alone, but Pichen didn't know what his intentions were, so he insisted on going with Rong Jiaojiao along with Song Xing.

The original words of Pichen are that Song Xing has never been down the mountain for 16 years. He is worried that Song Xing will not be able to cope with the ghosts and tricks at the foot of the mountain. Open some unnecessary trouble.

Although he was reluctant in every possible way, Pichen spoke toughly, and in the end Rong Jiaojiao could only accept it, and came to Baling with Song Xing.

But along the way, Rong Jiaojiao stayed far away from Song Xing except for necessity, after two days of getting along, the feeling of fear in her heart did not decrease at all.

But along the way, Rong Jiaojiao was like a servant, just like what Bi Chen said, she handled everything in an orderly manner, so Song Xing didn't have to worry about it.

Liufu Casino is located in the busiest street in Beishi. Almost half of the street is occupied by gambling houses. There are countless gamblers who come in and out every day. It is no exaggeration to say that they are making money every day.

"Young master, the villain was here that day, and saw that old Taoist enter the gambling house, and he hasn't left for a long time."

Lu Chengnan avoided the sight of the guards at the gate of the gambling house, turned his head and said to Song Xing.

Song Xing looked at the two huge Pixiu stone statues at the entrance of the gambling house, and saw a resplendent restaurant opposite the gambling house, so he said, "After walking for a long time, I'm hungry, let's go eat something first."

The three of them walked into this restaurant named Yulanxuan, and the welcoming guest took the initiative to take the reins of the horses, while Xiao Er asked the three of them to sit down on the second floor.

Xiao Er greeted: "What do you guys want to eat? The small shop is the largest restaurant in Baling. The chef is an imperial chef from the palace. There are dishes from all over the world from south to north. The small shop has everything you can expect."

"Serve all the special dishes in your shop, and warm a pot of good wine."

As soon as she was seated, Rong Jiaojiao, who was rich and powerful, directly gave instructions to Xiaoer.

Xiaoer is also a fine person, from the clothes of Song Xing and the two, it can be seen that the two of them are not short of money, so they readily agreed, and soon all the good wine and food were served, filling the whole table.

Pickled chicken, sea bass, sugar crab, money shrimp cake, squirrel mandarin fish, ivory chicken strips, sunflower minced meat, served one after another. The fragrance was so fragrant that the gluttonous Lu Chengnan subconsciously swallowed.

After gesturing to the two of them to move their chopsticks, Song Xing took the lead in eating. The waiter didn't brag, the dishes served were really good, and the carefully cooked ingredients whetted the appetite of the three of them.

Seeing that Song Xing liked the perch stew very much, Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile: "When I was in Luoyang, I also ate this perch stew cooked by the imperial chef with my father. This dish is extremely complicated to make.

When the beard is under the frost, the sea bass under three feet are harvested as dry meat, soaked, wrapped in cloth and drained, and scattered on the plate.Take the fragrant soft flowers and leaves and chop them finely, mix well, and mix thoroughly. After the frost, the meat of the perch will be as white as snow, so that it will not be fishy.The so-called "golden jade scallops are delicious in the southeast", it seems that the chef here really has some skills. "

The food is a famous dish, and the wine is also a good wine. The wine made by the barbarians in the restaurant is called Yuxie. Fragrance.

As a low-level disciple of the Dajiang sub-helm, Lu Chengnan had never eaten such a delicious meal, almost swallowing it with his tongue, but caring about Song Xing's status, he only dared to swallow it in small mouthfuls.

After drinking for three rounds, Song Xing put down his chopsticks and asked, "What is the background of this Liufu Casino in Baling?"

Lu Chengnan quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, looked around, and then said in a low voice, "The Liufu Gambling Hall is controlled by the Balingxiang family. Three years ago, the Liufu Gambling Hall was owned by Wen Yusheng. Chi Shanchun, the immortal hand of the family, won it from Wen Yusheng by gambling."

"The Xiang Family is backed by the Baling Gang, so it can be said that it is a unique existence in Baling. Relying on the power of the Baling Gang, the Xiang Family has almost annexed all the gambling houses in Baling."

"Xiang Family, Baling Gang?"

Song Xing was puzzled, how dare the Baling Gang take action against Lao Junguan?And that Xiangjia, a shrimp-like character, can threaten Song Wenshao?
Song Xing had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and suddenly asked: "What does this Xiang family have to do with the Yinkui sect?"
