Chapter 17: Troubled affairs in the arena

An Jing went to the county government office, briefly applied bruises to several prisoners, then put on a navy blue cloak and hurried out of Yuzhou City.

Jiang Sanjia is an old fox, and An Jing is not sure whether he will risk being caught by staying near Yuzhou City and take the Bodhi Bead first.

After leaving Yuzhou City, you have to go eighty miles south to reach Qinghe Ferry.

At this time, the sun was scorching above our heads, and the earth was as hot as an oven.

There are trees in the forest that provide shade, making it a little cooler.

The territory of Dayan is vast, and can be divided into five zones to encompass the division of power of Dayan. Among them, Jiangnan Road, where wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families gather, is one of them.

Jiangnan Road has been blessed with unique conditions since ancient times, with abundant rainfall and developed water conservancy, making trade very convenient. This has also resulted in the gathering of wealthy merchant families in Jiangnan.

As one of the core cities of Jiangnan Road, Yuzhou City is blessed with the Yuzhou River, so its development has naturally been very smooth.

Therefore, the size of Yuzhou City and the breadth of its jurisdiction are not comparable to those of ordinary cities. Even outside the city, there are some docks for transporting goods and picking up and delivering merchants.

Anjing walked quickly along the way, running through the woods, his body like a light flying swallow, constantly shuttling through the green shade.

After about a moment of burning the incense, An Jing noticed that there seemed to be people in front of him.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a tea shed.

"A big bowl of tea! A big bowl of tea costs three pennies a bowl!"

A waiter holding a cloth was shouting when he saw An Jing approaching, "Sir, the weather is hot, why not quench your thirst with a big bowl of tea."

"Bring me three bowls."

An Jing had not drank water since he came out of the county government office. He happened to feel thirsty at this moment and sat down immediately.

"Okay, sir, please take a seat."

The waiter shouted into the room, "Three big bowls of tea!"

An Jing slowly sat down and then looked around.

In front of him is a woman in her thirties. The woman has a plump figure, with bulges where they should be, and curls where they should be. Coupled with her beautiful face lightly painted with powder, the whole person perfectly interprets a mature woman.

There is something about the woman's appearance and every move that makes men have many different thoughts.

In addition to the woman, there were several older and thicker men. There were carriages and goods parked next to them. From what I heard, some of them spoke like they were from the escort agency.

While the escorts were talking, their eyes kept glancing at the beautiful mature woman, flashing a hint of greed.

An Jing didn't care, after all, the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Sir, here are three big bowls of tea."

After a while, the waiter came over with three large bowls of tea.

An Jing stopped the waiter and asked, "Xiao Er, is the Qinghe Pier not far away?"

The waiter pointed to the official road and said enthusiastically: "Yes, sir, do you want to go to Qinghe Pier? You can get there twenty miles along the official road ahead. Do you want to take a boat? You will be in a hurry later.

, there is one passenger ship every morning and afternoon, until it is full.”

"Okay, thank you." An Jing nodded.

"You're welcome." The waiter shook the towel and continued shouting.

Just when An Jing was about to drink a big bowl of tea and prepare to leave, the plump mature woman in front came over and said with a smile: "This little brother seems to be going to Qinghe Pier?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" An Jing felt that something was surging in front of him, and he was about to cry out.

The mature woman smiled sweetly and said: "I also plan to go to Qinghe Ferry, how about we go together?"

The sound of that coquettish laugh is breathtaking, as if it wants to outline a man's deepest desires. If it could be summed up in one word, it would be 'saucy'.

Even the waiter and shopkeeper in the distance glanced over from time to time, secretly spitting.

When several escorts heard what the mature woman said, they all looked at An Jing with some evil eyes.

"There are many inconveniences when there are differences between men and women."

An Jing is not an inexperienced boy.

He came out this time just to look for Bodhi beads and did not want to get involved in right and wrong.

It's only a few dozen miles away, but we still need to travel together?

"Little brother, do you really not think about it?"

The mature woman pursed her lips, and there seemed to be a soft wave in her eyes, which was shocking.

There is something wrong with this woman.

"No." An Jing shook his head: "I'm used to being alone."

"Okay, then I'll take the first step."

The mature woman looked disappointed, then stood up, picked up her baggage and left.

I saw the mature woman leaving with her baggage on her back, and several escorts also hurriedly put down their money and followed her.

"Second uncle, look at the Sanhu escort..."

When the waiter saw this scene, how could he not know what was going on?

Those rich and powerful escorts didn't even take away the goods. They followed the beautiful mature woman with the clear intention that if they followed, it would be a big battle.

The shopkeeper frowned and looked into the distance without speaking.

"Second uncle, do we want to retaliate..."

"Snapped!"

Before the waiter finished speaking, the shopkeeper slapped him hard.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "You're out of your mind. The Sanhu Gang is behind the Sanhu Escorts. If you let them know that you reported to the police, they will pull out your skin tomorrow and make it into a lantern to hang on the tree."

."

"Don't interfere in the affairs of the world."

The waiter looked at the departing figure, his heart beating rapidly, as if some scenes had been rendered in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Second uncle, it's great to be in the world."

"What a fart!"

The shopkeeper sneered, "If you dare to join the gangsters, I will peel off your skin right now without anyone else taking action, so that you don't die in the hands of others and I have to collect your body."

An Jing shook his head and felt that the shopkeeper was right. He drank three bowls of tea in one breath, put down ten coins and set off along the official road.

Above the official road, the road is smooth.

Moreover, for Anjing, the journey of twenty miles is no more than half a stick of incense.

The forest was dense and I didn't meet anyone else along the way.

Suddenly, An Jing smelled a smell of blood and couldn't help but pause.

After walking a few steps along the forest, I found three crooked corpses lying on the ground. They were the three bodyguards.

"It seems that that woman is no ordinary person."

An Jing looked at the scars on the body of the bodyguard. They were all killed by one blow. There was a hint of shock and disbelief in his pupils, indicating that he died very quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Escort masters are quite powerful in the world. They are much stronger than ordinary fish and shrimps in the world, minions, and new disciples of the sect. Most of them are in the sixth or even fifth rank, and between the fourth and fourth ranks, that is, in the third rank.

Strength.

However, these three people were killed by one move, which shows that the person who killed them was still somewhat powerful, at least a third-level master.

"It's better to stay less involved in the affairs of the world."

An Jing shook his head and continued running along the official road towards the Qinghe Ferry.
