"This is Yi Yuantang's Buyuan Dan!" Zheng Xinghan naturally recognized the package and was greatly surprised when he saw it.
"Senior brother, you have good eyesight." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"What good eyesight? If I don't even know Buyuan Dan, I have practiced martial arts for so many years in vain." Zheng Xinghan said with a smile, then pushed the wooden box back and said: "Ziling, what do you think?"
I took it, you put this Yuan-Buying Pill away, you need it more than me."
"Senior brother, you have to accept my wishes and you have to accept the gifts!" Qin Ziling pushed over again and said firmly.
Zheng Xinghan looked at Qin Ziling intently, and then suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Since you are so serious, I will accept it. Thank you Ziling."
"Senior brother, you're polite, as you should be." Qin Ziling replied with a smile.
Zheng Xinghan didn't speak anymore, but reached out and patted Qin Ziling's shoulder, feeling sorry for him secretly in his heart.
What a good junior brother, but it’s a pity that he just doesn’t have the right qualifications!
The carriage quickly passed through the western outer city and arrived at the inner city.
The inner city is surrounded by the outer city, but is separated from the outer city area by a moat and tall walls.
The inner city area is much smaller than the outer city area, but it is much more prosperous, with busy traffic and crowded people. Stone bridges and tiled houses are lined up in rows. The facades of every household are decorated with wood carvings. Shops and shops are decorated with lights and decorations, and people come in and out. It looks like a city center.
The taste of a prosperous area.
From time to time, you can see majestic policemen wearing armor and swords hanging on their waists patrolling back and forth on the streets, giving people a sense of safety and orderliness.
The clothing and mental outlook of the people walking on the streets are much better than those in the outer city. There are almost no scenes of begging, bullying, or fighting.
In the outer urban areas, it is not uncommon for snakes and dragons to mingle, break-ins and robberies, various small gangs to dominate the city, bully and extort the weak, fight with each other, etc.
This is also the reason why many businesses in outer cities have to find one or two "experts" to name themselves.
Sitting in the carriage with Zheng Xinghan, Qin Ziling rolled up the curtains and looked at the bustling scene outside. Thinking of the chaos and ruin in the outer city, the refugees outside the city, and the corpses on the roadside, he couldn't help but sigh, no matter where he was,
In the world, there are rich areas and slum areas, and there are scenes of drunkenness, feasting, and freezing roads.
"Is the inner city bustling and lively?" Zheng Xinghan asked with a smile.
"There are two completely different worlds from the outer city and the outer city!" Qin Ziling said with emotion as he put down the car curtain.
"This is the real center of wealth and power in Fangshu City! Don't look at Zuo Shi as a powerful martial artist. In our western outer city, even the entire outer city is somewhat prestigious, but in this inner city he can't reach out at all.
If you want to reach out, you must get the nod from the five major families." Zheng Xinghan said with a serious expression.
"Five major families?" Qin Ziling had a look of inquiry on his face.
"Pang, Yu, Lin, Xiao, and Lu are five big families. Among them, the Pang family is a branch of the Pang family, a prominent family in the city. Its head is Pang Qiwei, the governor of Fangshan County, and it is also the most powerful family in Fangshan City. The other four
The families are all local wealthy families in Fangshu City. Among the four families, the Yu and Lin families are the strongest, while the Xiao and Lu families are relatively inferior."
"In fact, the Lin and Lu families have only become one of the five major families in recent years. Before that, although they were strong, they were not qualified to be on an equal footing with the Pang, Yu, and Xiao families. It is said that the Pang family moved into Fangshu City.
, Pang Qiwei served as the county governor and took charge of Fangshan County. He felt that the local power was too strong and difficult to control, so he supported the local Lin family. Seeing this, the Yu and Xiao families intended to support the Lu family, which was Lu Taiqiang's family.
, and this was the rise of the Lin and Lu families." Zheng Xinghan explained.
"It seems that on the surface, the inner city is peaceful and prosperous, but in fact, various forces are wrestling with each other secretly!" Qin Ziling said with deep feelings after hearing this.
"No, but this is not something that people at our level can think about and interfere with." Zheng Xinghan shook his head, and then said: "Since it is convenient, I will tell you that apart from the five major families in the inner city,
Are there any other forces in the outer city and outside the city?"
"Speaking of it, the outer city is still under the control of the five major families in the inner city, but the control is not as strong as the inner city. Therefore, the outer city is a mixed bag of snakes and dragons, and all forces are coexisting, which is why our boxing academy has grown and existed.
space. But after all, the outer city area still belongs to the scope of Fangshu City, and the five major families will never allow the existence of forces beyond their control."
"So in the outer city, all the forces are basically at the same level as our Cold Iron Fist Academy. Even if there are some that are stronger than our Cold Iron Palm Academy, they are limited."
"You can't allow others to sleep soundly on a couch lying on its side!" Qin Ziling interjected calmly.
Zheng Xinghan was slightly startled when he heard the words, then lowered his head to chew the words carefully. After a while, he raised his head and gave Qin Ziling a thumbs up and said: "How can a couch lying on its side allow others to sleep soundly! Ziling, your words are too analytical.
The image is profound!”
Qin Ziling smiled disapprovingly.
Just kidding, this sentence is a famous saying that has been circulated for a long time in his world, so it is naturally very impressive!
"But it's different outside the city! Although the five major families are powerful, they are not enough to cover all areas of Fangshan County. Moreover, many forces outside the city have built castles in danger, and some even simply built fortresses in the mountains, which are often difficult to defend.
Attack. Although the five major families are capable of annihilating them together, heavy casualties cannot be avoided."
"Nowadays, the emperor is old, powerful ministers and eunuchs are in power, and there are natural disasters. People in many places are in dire straits. Many places have rebelled and proclaimed themselves kings. The Demon Sect took the opportunity to cause trouble, and some surrounding countries also took the opportunity to invade the borders. In this situation
Only mercenaries have the right to respect themselves, so the five major families cherish their wings, and as long as the forces outside the city cannot threaten them, they will not easily use their troops."
"This also gives opportunities for the development of forces outside the city. Now many forces have formed outside the city. Among them, the five forces with the greatest influence are Zhouzhuang, Senluo Gang, Xujiabao, Juhumen, and Xueyunzhai.
."
"You have to remember that neither the five major families nor the five forces outside the city can be provoked by our Hantie Zhangyuan. When you are doing things outside, try to avoid them as much as possible, otherwise you will be killed, Master Zuo
There is no way to get ahead." At this point, Zheng Xinghan's face became extremely solemn.
"Thank you, senior brother, for letting me know. I will pay attention." Qin Ziling nodded calmly.
While talking, the carriage stopped in front of Zuixiao Tower.
Zuixiao Building is three stories high, and the decoration is very quaint. There is melodious music coming from the building. The service staff inside are all dressed in uniform and well-fitting clothes. The men are handsome and handsome, and the women are tall and beautiful.
