Chapter 501 Departure to the South, Xingzhou Yunmeng
July 20th.
"Drive, drive..." A team of twenty-four riders, all with horses like proud dragons, rode straight south from outside the city of Peiping. The six gates of the capital, which were short of manpower, actually arrived at Zhu Biao and his party.
It was only when people were about to leave Anzhou that they noticed the existence of such a force.
Fourteen first-class or peak masters, eight famous masters, one top master, and one peerless master. Of course, I found that the six-door headhunters of Zhu Biao and his party were not that good, and they could all be distinguished clearly.
, in his eyes, these are fourteen masters of the same level, eight masters of a higher level, and two top figures with profound skills.
But it is also a huge force. Think about the current six gates in Beiping City, not counting the main forum of the Ministry of Punishment, the power is only this.
Zhu Biao is a peerless master, Song Yingzhu is a top master, the eight famous masters are Xiaomei, Dou Bing, Yan Qing, Yan Zi brother and sister, Yuan Tong, Shi Huixin, and the remaining two of the conquered four famous masters: Feihe
Tian Guangzhao, Taoist Li Sheng of the Bronze Lamp. The fourteen first-rate masters are Zhu Qiangyi and the remaining thirteen of the seventeen. Among them, nine have reached the peak of their cultivation.
All the twenty-four people changed their costumes and faces. Zhu Biao naturally changed into a Ruyi mask, Song Yingzhu changed into a thirty-year-old woman's mask, and eight famous masters including Xiaomei and Zhu Qiangyi also had their own.
The masks under Zhu Biaofa's thirteen first-class masks all use Yi Yan Dan.
A journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step. For seven days in a month, Zhu Biao and his party traveled from Peking City to Lishui City in Xingzhou. They were all covered in dust and had no time to wash themselves every day. Their hair was all tangled.
The further south you go, the more you encounter people from all walks of life rushing to Yunmeng Daze. From five or six groups a day, to the last group one after another, they are large and small, many and few, men and women, old and young, it is so lively. I wish you a happy life.
During the fight between Biao Shen Fist Sect, he lamented that the number and concentration of people in the Central Plains martial arts world and the prosperity and development of Jianghu sects were so small compared to the Lishui City in front of him!
Zhu Biao did not stay in the city for long, but went to the town outside the city.
Arriving at Tieshi Town, we found that even here there were people from all walks of life. After dismounting at the head of the town, twenty-four people all held the reins in one hand and entered the town on foot.
If you can cause less trouble, do it less. Compared with Lishui City, Tieshi Town is undoubtedly much safer. But even so, not long after Zhu Biao led people into the town, he had already seen seven famous first-level masters.
Two top-level masters, as for the first-rate and second-rate figures below them, they are everywhere.
This is the attraction of the Yunmeng Conference. Everyone knows that there will be a lot of trouble and bloodshed, but everyone cannot control the greed and a bit of luck in their hearts.
These first-rate and second-rate masters do not need to really explore inside. They only need to dig and hunt something within thirty to fifty miles in groups or alone, which is enough to make a small fortune.
.
And everyone has a sweet dream called "Qiyu" hidden in their hearts. Who can guarantee that the dream will never come true? Over the years, there have been more than one or two cases of people on the edge of Yunmeng Daze whose dreams have come true.
The Tieshi Town market is not small, with a wide range of businesses and businesses, and the night market is also very lively.
Zhu Biao led his horse and walked along the main street, his eyes paying attention to the shop signs on both sides, one, two... several inns passed by, and no one stopped.
Among the pedestrians coming and going, pairs of eyes also moved with Zhu Biao's movement.
In a group of twenty-four people, the lowest ones are all first-class and upper-class, which can be regarded as middle-class or above in Iron Stone Town.
I watched my eldest brother walk into the town entrance, walk through the prosperous town, and arrive at the end of the town with dim lights.
Zhu Cai'er couldn't help it anymore, "Brother, aren't we going to invest in a store?"
Zhu Biao responded slowly: "Yes!" He was still looking at the shops on both sides.
"Brother, what are you picking up? I just went to many stores!"
"There are many hotels that are not suitable for us to live in. I want to find a place that is suitable for us to stay."
At the corner at the end of the street, a dim paper lantern was lit. The words on the lantern were blurred, and two large patches had removed more than half of the originally unclear words, but you could tell at a glance.
It's a small chicken feather shop.
The waiter was sitting on the doorstep eating melon seeds.
"It's on!"
Zhu Cai'er curled her lips, and felt very dissatisfied when she saw that her brother had chosen such a shabby store after all the shopping. "Brother..." her voice became longer and longer in a coquettish and complaining tone, "Why don't there be so many clean big stores?
live……"
Zhu Biao waved his hand to cut off the younger sister's words, "Be obedient, I'll tell you when this matter goes through."
When the waiter saw someone coming, he stood up and came over with a smile.
"Sir, are you staying at the hotel?"
"Um!"
"Please come in, the upper room is still vacant!"
"Is there a yard? If so, the yard will be reserved. If not, the entire apartment will be covered." Looking from the outside, Zhu Biao could only see two rows of wing rooms in the backyard of this small shop, but none could be seen beyond that.
"To tell you what, there really isn't a courtyard, but our upper room is still empty!" Taking the reins from Zhu Biao's hand, the waiter shouted in his voice: "The guests are here!"
The other two waiters in gray clothes rushed out in response.
There were twenty-four people and twenty-four horses. Of course, the three waiters could not do all the work. Except for Zhu Biao, Song Yingzhu, and the younger sister, the remaining twenty-one people all led the horses to the backyard by themselves.
When they each took off their packages from their horses and came to the front hall, Zhu Biao had already ordered four banquet tables.
After drinking and eating, Zhu Biao and his party went to the upper room in the backyard. It was really a small upper room. The room was very crowded because the yard was small, and the real backyard had to store firewood, stables, etc. The two rows of side rooms were almost the same.
It's door to door, window to window.
Zhu Biao, Song Yingzhu, and Zhu Cai'er occupied the two upper rooms in the middle on the left. Only there was a small hall in the middle. They were the only two truly superior rooms in the hotel. Zhu Biao naturally occupied one.
, Song Yingzhu and Zhu Cai'er share a room. In order to take care of each other, Zhu Biao requires everyone except himself to share a room. Dou Bing and Zhu Qiangyi share a room, and are responsible for taking care of Zhu Qiangyi. In addition, there must always be someone
One person is on duty in ambush.
After washing up, the little girl, whose hair was not yet dry, came to Zhu Biao. The latter took a shower and washed his hair much faster than the former. He had already packed up and turned over the book "Yunmengqilu" in his hand.
"Brother, why did you choose this shabby store? It's too old and too small!"
"It's better if it's old and small. Firstly, it won't be eye-catching; secondly, no one with a bit of fame will live here; thirdly, there's no right or wrong. If you live in a big hotel, you'll be comfortable, but you won't have so much freedom of movement...
…”
Before coming to the Central Plains, Zhu's mother told Zhu Biao that she should take good care of Zhu Cai'er and never let her get into trouble. She said that he has become more and more bold and unruly in recent days.
If any of the talented young men in Qingxiang County showed signs of getting close to her, there were few of them who would not be beaten up by her.
How long did it take? The whole Yanzhou has lost its reputation.
Seeing that she was turning eighteen and turning nineteen, with no sign of marriage yet, Zhu's mother was already worried.
"What's the point of not being free? The world speaks with its fists. Brother is so powerful, there's Sister Liang, and there are so many of us, who else should we be afraid of?"
"Who else can I be afraid of? Of course I will. There are many masters in the world. Don't forget that this is the Central Plains and this is the Yunmeng Conference. There are many such skills. With your sister Liang's methods, only this small town can
As I walked along, I saw no less than five of them.
Don't show me your eldest lady's temper! Mother said that you have become more and more bold recently, but I still don't think so. Now it seems that you really need to be managed well!"
Seeing Zhu Biao mentioning Zhu's mother, Zhu Cai'er lost her energy. This time she went south to the Central Plains, she almost didn't make it. If Zhu Biao hadn't thought that in the future the family would also follow the world and wanted her to see the world, she would have stayed.
Peiping followed Zhu's mother, sister-in-law, and Yao Jie to live in the Houfu Courtyard.
In the absence of Zhu Biao, compared with Tingfeng Xiaozhu, the other courtyard under the name of the Houfu is safer. He moved into the Yibei Houfu in an unofficial manner, but Zhu Biao was worried about his mother. Once his wife showed up, he would think
It will be difficult to escape from Peiping.
On the twenty-eighth, nothing happened.
On the 29th, a stalwart man walked into the shop.
"Wen Tao has met his benefactor, miss!"
In front of Yuantong, Shi Huixin and other outsiders, Xu Wentao did not show his true face. Zhu Biao had given him instructions before when he gave him the news. The seventeen people could not believe it now, so they hid their identities in front of them.
In this way, Xu Wentao could no longer use the title "general" that he had always used to call Zhu Biao. After thinking about it, he felt that the word "benefactor" was just right.
Zhu Biao dispatched all the people, smiled on his face, and returned to normal with Xu Wentao. This was also to deter the seventeen people to a certain extent, and to let them know that Zhu Biao's ambush was not just Zhu Ming's.
One.
"General Zhu, the Iron Brand Organization is closely related to the King of Tang. The few people he noticed are now the King of Tang's subordinates. Especially Mao Zhongmao, the former governor of Jizhou. After the defeat of Jiulianshan, the King of Tang was very loyal to him.
I was saved by death, but in the end I couldn't save my official title, but now I am living in Beijing and staying behind in the palace."
Xu Wentao looked very excited, and he felt that he was about to come into contact with the truth. In the past few days, the Northern Han Dynasty had returned to him information, and based on some of the actions of the Tang Dynasty King, he almost dared to conclude that the Iron Brand Organization and the Tang Dynasty King were one and the same.
, but there is no evidence, what can be done?
As for Zhu Biao's current situation, Xu Wentao's understanding of the people in the officialdom was no weaker than Zhu Biao's, and an extremely bad feeling lingered deep in his heart like a poisonous snake.
"There are recent rumors about the appearance of Nether Sect disciples in the Northern Territory..."
Xu Wentao stayed in the shop for more than an hour and left without eating. Zhu Biao returned to the room and carefully considered the new information Xu Wentao said. A possibility became more and more likely in his mind:
"It was the King of Tang who captured the crown prince, and now he is using the crown prince to threaten the new king..." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
