Chapter 137 Dragon and Phoenix Inn

Every year after the beginning of autumn, a chill begins to spread from the south to the east. Now that the cold dew has arrived, even the Maple Leaf City in the east has begun to fall with bone-deep winter rain.

Jiang Ergou lived in Maple Leaf City for more than half a month, but finally left on the cold dew day. In the drizzle, Ergou held up the umbrella Qin Xuejian handed him and walked into the rain! Then he turned around and disappeared.

At the entrance of Baiwu Lane.

"You can actually go with him. You should go with him as you promised. My martial arts has made rapid progress in recent years. You have nothing to worry about!"

Behind Jiang Ergou were Qin Yi, who was holding an umbrella for his sister, and Qin Xuejian, who was watching Ergou leave.

Qin Yi could see the reluctance in his sister's eyes, but he didn't understand why she didn't go with him.

Until Ergou's figure disappeared from his eyes, Qin Xuejian was still looking at the entrance of the alley in trance.

"Now is not the time. I have talked to him about a lot of things these days, but no matter from which aspect, he is not ready to go to this world to fight for justice. The things he is carrying still need him.

Just finish it by yourself, and when he finishes what he needs to finish, he will come back to me. Only then will we be truly comfortable!"

This world is really small, so small that it can be written with a thick pen and light ink in the hand of a scholar, but it is also very big! It is so big that it isolates two people who could have been together until they are far apart!

But having said that, what Qin Xuejian said at this moment seriously hurt his brother.

At first, I thought that my sister was reluctant to let go of me, but now it seems that she is reluctant to let go of me. She is just like other ordinary women who have to live with his uncle for the sake of their husband's career!

Qin Yi, who understood the meaning, shook his head and smiled bitterly, murmuring.

"This is really a mistake for a girl. If you start turning your elbows outward now, I'm afraid that even this escort agency will fall into the hands of that boy!"

She wanted to pretend not to hear, but Qin Xuejian was still amused by her brother's words. She didn't know how to answer, so she changed the topic to another place.

"Just wait, I'm not afraid. Anyway, I'm not the only girl waiting for him. Let's just wait and see which one of you can go from being a girl to a mother-in-law first!"

"How do you say this? Can't you tell that Ergou is half-hearted? Why don't I sneak him back and give him a good lesson?"

Qin Yi, who was still teasing his sister's mood, became nervous at this moment, not because he was worried about his talkative and heartless brother-in-law, but because he was afraid that his sister would feel distressed.

"It's nothing, it's just that when we chat these days, I always ask him if he has met any beautiful girls in the world. If he is attracted to her, I should ask him to marry her home as soon as possible."

At this point, the usually indifferent Qin Nvxia burst into laughter, but her next words had a sour taste.

"Fortunately, that stupid boy thought he was covering up well, but he didn't know that everything fell into my eyes. At most, I just didn't point him out! Did he think that if he didn't say it now, everything would be fine later? The later he said it, the worse it would be.

!I want to see when he will take the initiative to tell me!"

Qin Yi was afraid that his sister would think too much about this matter, so he wanted to persuade her, but before he could speak, Qin Xuejian continued.

"Brother, you don't need to persuade me. I don't have to go into this trap. I understand the truth! I can also figure it out. It's just that Ergou, if you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how powerful you are!"

In fact, women understand many truths in the world, but men should never try to reason with women. If you understand, you may not be able to make sense.

If a man doesn't believe it and insists on trying it, he will definitely suffer in the end.

"Chen Xici, this name is so nice, you look like a gentle sister at first glance!"

Before turning around and leaving, Qin Xuejian murmured something like this.



Lantian Pass is a small but not very small border city on the border of Liaodong. It is the best place to leave the border in these years when there is no peace but no real war.

It's just that it's a bit cold in the north, so when Ergou trekked for two months and stood in front of this pass, he had already put on a thick cotton coat! A man who had been to Lantian Pass

A local scholar in Liaozhou once left a famous saying here: The snow embraces the blue and the horse cannot move forward!

Because of this poem later, many scholars from all over the country who had never seen the customs of the border and only knew the romance came here to see the grand scene of the snow-covered grassland! From this, many quite good frontier poems were spread.

.

In fact, when Ergou stood at the entrance of Lantian Pass for the first time, he was a little dumbfounded. It was not because the Lantian Pass was so majestic that he was frightened, but because the Lantian Pass was so ordinary that Ergou once thought it was

This is an ordinary small town.

If it weren't for the large area on the city wall that looked like the traces of smoked arrows left recently, Ergou would not have believed that this was a border city.

But this is really no wonder Lantian Pass. Although you have left Dachu after passing this pass, its geographical location is really not good!

Walking south from Lantian Pass, only five days away is Tianshan Pass, the most important pass on the border that lives under natural dangers! Xiao Shanyu, the king of Liaodong, is based here.

And if you go up, less than ten days' journey is another huge pass called Hulao Pass.

It can be said that it is the existence of these two passes that supports the entire border defense line in the southern part of the Liaodong border. Their effectiveness is comparable to that of the 40,000 black-armored black knights.

As Lantian Pass is sandwiched between these two passes, it naturally becomes a little daughter-in-law who can only accept the anger.

Strolling through Lantian Pass, in addition to the small size of the city that frightened Jiang Ergou, Ergou was also amazed by the development of commerce in the city!

Various caravans came in an endless stream, and there were also many ordinary people setting up stalls and doing small business on the streets. If it weren't for the words "Lantian Pass" clearly written on the city gate, Ergou would have thought he had arrived in Lingzhou or Chongqing.

The hinterland of the state!

Of course, it makes sense to say that this is the best choice for exiting the customs at first. Although Lantian Pass is located between the two major passes, it has received a lot of criticism, but its safety level is unmatched by other places.

Although there are only a thousand black-armored cavalry and two thousand infantry garrisoned at Lantian Pass, the general who defends the city is just a fifth-grade Suibian general. But until the real decisive battle comes, the barbarians on the grassland will not dare to come.

At most, this is just to show off your power three or four miles away from the city.

And if the barbarians on the grassland dare to choose to enter the pass from here, the armies from Tianshan and Hulao will only need to gallop for two days and one night to get here and catch him by the tail!

Even when it comes to the real decisive battle, the geographical location of Lantian Pass is much more prominent than that of Tianshan Hulao. Behind the pass is a rolling mountain. As long as those grassland owners with wolf cavalry as their army are not fools, they will not choose this as an attack location.

If they are really brave and dare to come here, Lantian Pass can be used as an excellent bait. As long as more than 30,000 troops are ambushed in the mountains behind Lantian Pass, they will definitely be able to swallow twice as many troops as the ambush.

The enemy of the army!

Furthermore, this place is the only commercial import and export between Chu and the grassland. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the grassland barbarians will not come here to cause trouble.

Livestock is extremely developed on the grassland, but it is also extremely short of salt and iron tools. On the other hand, Da Chu is also in short supply of the fine draft horses that are abundant on the grassland. Therefore, in order to get what each needs, we both have a tacit understanding to stay here.

A trading gateway.

Although Dachu will still strictly control the number of Yanba's ironware, the grassland will not let too many BMWs flow into Dachu. After all, they also know that those BMWs under the crotch of the black-armored Xuanqi who pose the greatest threat to the grassland

Ninety percent of it flows into Dachu from their grasslands.

And if it were not for this reason, no matter how unpopular Lantian Pass was with Da Chu, it would not have ended up like a small town. This could be regarded as the only last room for relaxation left by Da Chu and the grassland.

.

But although commerce is developed, not everyone can come to eat at the border. Without the care of a big man in Beijing, or the care of a khan from a tribe with more than ten thousand people on the grassland, your goods can neither go out nor enter.

Can’t pass!

Almost 90% of the caravans in Lantian Pass are not qualified to leave the customs. They all come to make some hard-earned money transporting border goods to the mainland.

Apart from the four major chambers of commerce with strong financial resources, the only ones truly qualified to enter and exit the border are the caravans of the top ministers in Beijing. For example, there is a merchant caravan in Lantian Pass with a Su sign.

Walking in from the city gate, in addition to the caravans, Ergou also discovered that there were many ordinary residents here. Almost all of these people

There is no farming, so I make a living by doing small businesses.

Walking to the center of the city, Ergou discovered that there was a huge arena here, a bit like the style of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At this time, a swordsman known as the Lightning Sword and a swordsman named the Earth Splitter were competing in martial arts.

For the rangers of Da Chu, it is not considered that they have passed through the Southern Tang Dynasty. If they have not been to the border or the grassland, they have not completed the journey of this world. And if you can make some fame on the border, it will be considered in the future.

When he returns to his hometown, he can be regarded as a heroic hero.

Furthermore, according to some heroes who have been to the grassland, there are many masters on the grassland. Among them, the most powerful ones are no different from the first-level masters of Da Chu.

Since he saw many young rangers rushing to the border like him along the way, Ergou was not surprised by the scene in the stands.

"Earth-shattering knife, I heard that your sword technique is so powerful that it can crack stone monuments with one strike. I need to be more merciful when asking for advice today!"

"Is that what you're talking about? It's because your lightning sword moves can be said to be as fast as lightning. You're in a hurry and you only have this clothes around you. Don't let me scratch you later!"

In fact, apart from the life-and-death battles involving face, most martial arts competitions in the arena will involve a round of mutual compliments before they begin.

Anyway, the audience in the audience can't understand it. As long as they perform two beautiful moves during the fight, there will be a loud cheering sound.

Just like the large number of aboriginal people from Lantian Pass gathered under the stands at this time, they have rarely left this city, so how do they know what Jianghu is?

But it was their loud cheers again and again that gave the ranger on the stage a chance to become famous at the border!

After rambling for a long time, when the effect of the flattery was achieved and the audience could no longer wait, the two people on the stage finally started to take action.

After a few moves, let’s not talk about the power of each move of these two people, but in terms of excitement, it must be said that it is good-looking. Which sword move is the most beautiful and simplest sword flower? It is one after another.

.

But although from Jiang Ergou's point of view, the moves of the two men were really ordinary, there were not even one or two moves that made people think they were outstanding, but even so, Jiang Ergou still watched them with gusto.

He remembered what the old man had told him before, in this world, only the masters were the most boring. The weaker the person, the more he could see the real world.

No matter how shameless the rest of the old naughty boys are, they can't run into the ring and bully the juniors with their first-class strength.

Halfway through the movie, Ergou had already guessed the ending. The earth-shattering sword among the two was stronger. The reason was that the lightning sword's sword moves were too fancy. It looked good but lacked practicality. This

If you fight against someone, you will most likely be sacrificed.

But at this time, it was just a martial arts competition, and there was absolutely no danger of life. Just as Ergou guessed, after the two of them exchanged dozens of moves, the lightning sword was confused by a flaw deliberately made by the earth-shattering knife, and was instead

Knife back and defeat!

After the fight, both of them were neither red-faced nor out of breath, and the last blow clearly left room for leeway. After the lightning sword was repulsed, they were not in a panic. Instead, they slowly put the sword back behind them and spoke while retreating.

Speaking of.

"I have long heard of the reputation of the Earth Splitting Sword. Today I saw it and it is absolutely true. The power of the sword is wide open and closed, and it is invincible. I won't complain if I lose."

Hearing the praise, the Earth-shattering knife also said with a very graceful vertical knife, cupping its fists.

"Today, I was just a careless man who gave me a single move. If we compete again, I don't have the certainty or determination to win. Why don't we just say goodbye and fight another day!"

After the polite exchanges were completed and they said goodbye to each other, the two of them performed their not-so-skilled Qinggong skills and left one after another under the horrified eyes of everyone in the audience.

By this time, if Ergou's guess is correct, these two people should know each other, and maybe they will get together and go to the next city after leaving the city.

This should be a method that the two of them came up with. I win in this city, and you win in the next city. Repeatedly, through word of mouth from the onlookers, they have gained a slight reputation on this border.

.

It is naturally not easy for a ranger to become a hero. If you don't think of some solutions on your own, it will be a long way off for little people like the two of them who only have fifth-level strength!
