Guangjin City is the prefecture of Tiannan Prefecture, facing water on three sides and one side facing mountains. Among them, there is the Hudang Temple, the largest sect of Tiannan Prefecture, on that mountain.

Guangjin City faces water on three sides, and the water facing it is called Guangjin River. The Guangjin River flows into the sea after flowing through Guangjin City for hundreds of miles.

The mountain we are facing is called the Crouching Tiger Mountain because it looks like a lying tiger entrenched. It is said that a sky tiger fell here, and then this big mountain was formed. The famous Tiger Dangguan is located on this mountain.

Guangjin City is located at a critical moment, with convenient transportation and extremely developed commerce. Hudden Viewing practices in the mountains and does not care about worldly affairs. However, Hudden Viewing's disciples mostly operate in Guangjin City and Tiannan Prefecture, which has a great impact on the entire Tiannan Prefecture.

Zhang Ying followed the carriage from the sect to Guangjin City.

It was early spring, with bright spring and birds singing and flowers scenting. There was still floating ice flowing on the Guangjin River that had just thawed for not long.

Many civilians drove small boats to salvage ice on the river. The biting cold river water, the cold wind that had not subsided in spring, and the floating ice as big as a house, were all threats to them.

But at this time the floating ice is the best-selling product in Guangjin City.

Floating ice that gradually melts in early spring is considered to have the power to dissolve. The medicinal food or medicinal soup cooked with this kind of floating ice has the power to dissolve and dissolve. It has a very good therapeutic effect on blood and qi accumulation and blood qi blockage.

The fishermen on the three small boats found a room-sized piece of ice floe. They quickly nailed their own standards on the ice floe, indicating that the ice floe already had a main body.

Then the fishermen on the three boats threw out the ropes and held the floe. The next step was to row the boat to pull the floe into ease.

This process is often the most dangerous. The turbulent river water carries huge floating ice. If you are not careful, the floating ice will overturn with people and ships. Walking in the cold river water, even the young and strong young man will be trembling all over and lose the disease.

Flying ice is a business that can fight against it with your life.

Zhang Ying sat on Pier 12 and watched the three ice fishing boats fighting against the huge ice floes.

There were several experienced veterans on the ship, who were shouting loudly and directing everyone to act in a unified manner.

Suddenly, a rapid flow rushed over, and a rotation came with the floating ice. The rope pulled on the floating ice was instantly straightened and rotated, directly pulling the boat at the other end of the rope.

"Cut the rope! Let go!" Seeing that the rope was about to overturn, the person on the other boat shouted anxiously.

The two young men on the bed seemed to be frightened and did not react for a while. Fortunately, the veteran on the ship made a quick decision and immediately pulled out a machete and cut off the rope.

The rope suddenly threw out, and the boat drifted for a while, almost not overturned.

When the other two ships saw it, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to lead the floes to the riverside.

The Guangjin River is a hundred miles wide, and this floating ice is only thirty miles away from the shore. It usually takes only half an hour to travel. The three small boats took two hours.

Finally, the ice floe was pulled to the dock. Immediately someone fixed the ice floe, and then someone rowed a smaller boat to the ice floe and began to chisel the ice floe with tools.

This piece of floating ice will be broken down into the same size as a brick in a very short time, and then it will enter various medicinal restaurants, soup pharmacies, and ice cellars in the homes of wealthy families.

The scattered scraps will not be wasted, they will be taken away by places like medicinal restaurants and cooked on the same day.

Zhang Ying now has a cup of red bean floating ice soup. This is a bowl of ice sweet soup. Although it is a bit inappropriate to drink this ice sweet soup in early spring, people here believe that the power of melting and dissolving is still going to pay for one.

Why did Zhang Ying sit here? Because the Bing-12 Pier in front of him was the one that Qian Qiang exported to that year.

Guangjin City faces water three sides, and there are many various marinas. Among them, there are three largest freight marinas, one is controlled by Hudangguan, one is controlled by Qian's family, and one is controlled by others.

These three freight terminals are the hens that lay golden eggs, which brings the owner's income every day.

In addition to freight terminals, Guangjin City also has many fishing ports. This kind of fishing port is also controlled by various gangs, mainly because the revenue of the fishing port is too small and the wealthy families look down on it. Only the gangs occupy some of the fishing money for the fishermen.

Finally, there is the ice port in Guangjin City. It is a pier that salvages ice in spring. This kind of pier is only lively for a month a year and is usually no one cares about it. But in this month, every ice port will bring huge benefits.

Pier 12 is the gift given to him by Qian Qiang when he was an adult. Now it has been exported and has become the property of several other major families in the city.

Zhang Ying was very curious about this. He wanted to see what kind of place it would cause such a big conflict between the two sides.

The result is just an ordinary port.

At this time, the people on the ice fishing boat came to the small shop where Zhang Ying was. A dozen of them squeezed in with cold air. The store immediately brought them a big brazier, and then the hot ginger tea came up. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be regular customers here.

The hot brazier evaporated the cold air on their bodies, and the hot ginger tea took away the cold air inside their bodies. After a while, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt warm.

Zhang Ying glanced at them and was about to leave. Suddenly, a subtle voice heard in his ears.

"Brother, yesterday I saw the boss's ship again. They seemed to be transporting something."

The voice of this is very small, and the speaker deliberately lowers his voice. However, Zhang Ying's five senses are extraordinary now, and the small sounds can be heard.

Zhang Ying's heart moved, and his body that wanted to stand up did not move.

Sure enough, another small voice sounded: "Don't worry about so much, just do your own thing."

Then the voice rang again: "I'm just curious. I'm a little surprised if I change my boss."

The elder brother's voice sounded again: "This group of young masters is different from the former Young Master Qian. Anyway, they don't care about their affairs."

Next, the group of people never discussed this matter again, but started chatting about family matters.

Zhang Ying stood up, turned to look at the two people talking. He then walked out of the shop.

Leaving the Bing-12 Pier, Zhang Ying walked on the streets of Guangjin City.

There were bustling pedestrians on the road, and many people were full of blood and energy, but there were not many real warriors. Warriors either stayed in sects to practice or were seeking life in wealthy families.

Unlike Qi training men, the martial arts lineage requires meals from low to high. Eating is the best and easiest way for martial artists to replenish their blood and qi.

It’s just that low-level warriors eat ordinary food, while high-level warriors eat high-level spiritual flesh and spiritual rice.

For the sake of eating, working is not a mess.

The Qian family in Guangjincheng is very famous, known as Qianbancheng. It means that half of Guangjincheng belongs to their family.

There is no exaggeration in this sentence, because half of Guangjin City is really from their family. The Qian family makes money for more than ten generations, and when they make money, they buy land, shops, mountains, rivers, and wharfs. The Qian family likes to buy land, and this is well known to everyone in Guangjin City.

Ten years ago, insects invaded the world. In order to avoid insect plagues, many people sold various land shops in Guangjin City at a low price. The insects were not human and only knew how to burn, kill, loot, and the shops and land would be destroyed by them. Keeping these things at this time is simply a fool.

Qian Qiang's old father didn't think so. He spent all his money to buy land and shops, and fully supported Hu Dangguan to resist insects.

At that time, nine out of ten major households in Guangjin City fled, and only the Qian family stayed here, contributing all the food, medicinal materials and meat in their homes, supporting Hu Dangguan to fight back against the insects.

At that time, Hudangguan also escaped a considerable number of his disciples, and the remaining people bit the bullet and protected their homes. After a hard battle, they finally waited for the great power to solve most of the insects, and the insect plagues were gradually calmed down in various places. Guangjin City was not much damaged.

Guangjin City is located in a critical situation and soon developed again. Hudangguan also looked at the Qian family with a different look. The Qian family, who had mastered half of the land in the city, took off completely.

The Qian family welcomed wealth that more than ten generations had never had. At this time, the Qian family was like cooking oil in a fire. While it was prosperous, there were countless jackals, tigers and leopards who were secretly coveting this fat piece of meat.

Zhang Ying came to Qian’s mansion, and there were people staring at him inside and outside the house, both open and secretly. Not only their own guards, but also all kinds of unknown ways.

The Qian family's door is closed, and only the side doors are in and out from time to time.

Zhang Ying came to the side door and handed a message saying: "Zhang Ying from Tianhu Villa, Xiaoshicheng, came to visit Qian Qiang and Qian Gongzi."

The doorman who greeted him looked at the greetings and said politely: "Who are you from Young Master Qian?"

Qian Qiang has been in Tianhu Villa, Xiaoshicheng, and he couldn't guarantee that the person in front of him would have an old relationship with the young master, so the concierge asked more questions.

Zhang Ying said: "I have been cared for by Brother Qian many times in the door, so I came here to visit him."

The doorman knew as soon as he heard this, and the man was the young master's fellow disciple. He nodded and said, "Please wait, I'll report it now."

Soon, Zhang Ying heard a happy voice: "But Brother Zhang Ying?"

However, Qian Qiang came out with a servant.

Zhang Ying looked at him. He was leaning on a crutch with one hand and being supported by the close servant with the other. He now had a smile on his face. Compared to the past, he was not only thinner, but also a depressed aura on him.

His feet stood unnaturally. Although he could barely stand with crutches, he was still shaking constantly, and it was obvious that he was not standing steadily.

Zhang Ying felt a soreness in his nose. He stepped forward and supported Qian Qiang, whispered to him: "Brother Qian is suffering!"

Qian Qiang smiled and said, "There should be a disaster in his life. It would be great if he could save his life."

He was unwilling to talk about this topic, so he directly changed the topic and said: "Why is Brother Zhang free to come to me? But what help is needed?"

Zhang Ying shook her head and said, "I'm here to attend the introductory ceremony of early autumn."

Qian Qiang was stunned, and a random look of joy, and said, "You, are you promoted to the ninth level of the warrior?!"

Zhang Ying nodded and said, "Thanks to my help, I can make such progress." He paused and continued, "There is six months left before early autumn, and I have no place to go. I don't know if Brother Qian can take me in for a while."
