: Ancient city

Xiangyang is located in the northwest of Jingzhou, the hinterland of the middle reaches of the Hanjiang River. It is named because it is located in the Yangshui River.
Hanshui passed through the city, and separated Xiangyang and Fancheng across the south and north banks across the river. It was a famous city of mountains and rivers. Borrowing a river of spring water, it won ten miles of scenery.
Xiangyang has always been a military and commercial center, and the streets in the city are vertical and horizontal, but it is also very lively.
Gulong's middle distance is just over ten miles from Xiangyang. The Beggar Aoki Conference is about to be held. Ordinary civilians are naturally unaware of this, but the people in the rivers and lakes are already clear.
The Aoki Assembly takes place every three years, but there is no fixed place. Usually, it is up to the gang leader to determine the location. The gang has a total of 28 points. Because of the troubled world, the world is three points, so the gang is divided and ruled, although they all obey the order of the gang. , But the elders of the Quartet are in charge of each party.
In order to balance the Quartet, the triennial Aoki General Assembly chooses the location and also takes care of the emotions of the four elders, which are held in turns in the areas under the jurisdiction of the four elders.
The old rivers and lakes are still quite familiar with the Aoki Conference of the Beggar Gang. As the first gang in the world, the Beggar Gang is indispensable in dealing with various factions of the Jianghu Lake. The disciples of the Beggar Gang are from the No. 4 Wuhu Lake. The is extremely strong, most of the gangs have been gang leaders, most of them have high reputation on the rivers and lakes. Although it is because of the gang ’s own power, there is also a reason that the gangs have always lived in harmony with other gangs. The gangs are all ceremonial and then soldiers, and will never bully others.
Every time the Aoki General Assembly is held, there are always people from all over the river gathered together, although not necessarily able to enter the venue, but for many people from the rivers and lakes, even if they wander around nearby, it seems to be a face-saving thing, and when the Aoki General Assembly is held In addition, the beggars will also properly invite some people of high prestige on the rivers and lakes as spectators.
June 18 is the day of the Aoki Conference. In fact, a few days before the conference, people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes have poured into Xiangyang. In addition, the disciples who came to participate in the conference suddenly came suddenly. With so many people, the officers and soldiers in the ancient city of Xiangyang were also more careful, and the number of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets increased several times.
However, the Shenhou Mansion has existed for many years, and the major gangs of the rivers and lakes have already formed a set of rules. Less than a last resort, they will not provoke the government mansion, and they will not mess up. So although many people came to the ancient city of Xiangyang, the order is still pretty good. just like.
The beggars were originally the lowest people, begging along the streets on weekdays, it is very humble, but now in Xiangyang City, if a pair of beggars are dressed up, it is a very fashionable thing. The beggars who came from all over the place, This time, instead of begging, so walking in the streets and backs of the neck, I was quite proud of myself.
There is a street called Zizhen Street in the north of Xiangyang. The street is not long, but it is very lively. There are many restaurants and tea shops on this street. It is already mid-June. The weather in Xiangyang is also quite hot. Pedestrians passing by I like to go to the teahouse to cool down with a bowl of herbal tea.
Today, there are more guests in this teahouse than in the past, even though the gate is also full of people, one by one stretched his head to look inside.
In the middle of the main hall of the tea house, there is a space. On the edge of the ground, a little man in his fifties looks at the gong, and a boxy table is placed in the middle, a girl of seventeen or eighty years old. He is posing in an unbelievable posture, with two slender jade feet standing on the table, but the entire body is bent backwards, the soft body is almost rotated to 180 degrees, and the head of the slug is from the legs Stretched out.
Many people know that this is Jiu-Jitsu, which is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.
The girl is not very beautiful, but it is quite a bit beautiful, and the soft and extremely delicate body is even more coveted. Suddenly, she saw the girl ’s palms propped on the table, and her legs suddenly turned backwards, all around After exclaiming, he saw the girl turned like a wheel and turned over ten times on the table.
This is not an ordinary flip, but it fully shows the softness and tenacity of its body, and there is a good cry all around, and many people whistled straight at the girl.
There are many rivers and lakes artists who perform arts and crafts above the rivers and lakes. They do not stay in a certain place, but live on the street. They are now a place where fish and dragons are mixed. Some river and lake artists also come here to sell some craftsmanship. Earn some money.
In the applause, the girl turned over and jumped off the table, arching her hands in a circle, the voice was very hearty: "Uncle brothers laughed, the little girl made a living, and invited uncle brothers to give more support and enjoy the small ones. The woman ate a bite. "Then the little old man took a tray and handed it over. The girl picked up the tray and smiled sweetly, and walked to the side.
Looking at the art rewards, this is the rules of the rivers and lakes. There is no silver to hold the personal field. It is slightly more generous. When I saw the girl with a sweet smile, she also put a few coins into the tray.
No matter how much the guests rewarded the girl, the girl smiled and thanked. After half a circle, she suddenly reached over with a hand and put a piece of silver on the tray. Not to mention it weighed a dozen or two. Many people were a little surprised. Although there are not too many silvers, when Jianghu entertainers are performing arts, they get twelve rewards at a time, which is not uncommon. The girl immediately said, "Thank you, brother!"
Everyone saw that the silver-rewarding man looked like he was in his early thirties, and he was also very particular about wearing it. A cyan gown was tied with a black belt. The material of the shirt at first glance was the first-class goods. It was really generous.
"No thanks, no thanks." The man smiled and smiled: "The girl is living in a river and lake, and making a living is a real pity. Look at this hand ...!" The hand reached out to touch the little girl's hand, and the girl was in a hurry Taking a step back, he grinned reluctantly: "Walking in rivers and lakes, I don't feel hard." Just about to walk in front of the next person, the man halted and said: "I haven't finished my words, what is the hurry to do? Girl, I This shot is twelve silver, you just treat me like this? "
The old man had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and naturally saw the famous hall, and he came up and smiled and said: "Thank you for this friend for dinner, the apprentice is not sensible, and the old man has thanked here."
"Is this your apprentice?" The man's eyes turned around the girl's soft body and smiled: "Your apprentice is not bad at all, I appreciate it very much, it's already dusk, it's getting dark, you are now After closing, I invite you to have a meal at the restaurant. "
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, but my friends have given me a reward, enough for our mentors and apprentices to eat for a while, so I don't dare to bother."
"Old man, do you toast without eating fines?" The man followed two or three people, one of them stared at the old man and said: "Do you know who this is? Please give your face to dinner, but don't give it to your face face."
The little old man was busy saying: "This friend misunderstood the little old man's face, how dare he shameless, but let's go to the rivers and lakes, do business, and don't eat white rice."
"Is it too much money?" The T-shirt man took another piece of silver and threw it on the girl's tray. He smiled: "Is this enough for you to eat with me?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "Big Brother has already won it." He picked up the ingot and threw it back. The man took the hand and took it, without laughing and saying, "Interesting, old man, you This apprentice really has a temper, I like it. Can she have someone else? May I help you introduce it. "
The old man had not spoken yet, and the girl was already annoyed: "You are more polite." There was no smile on her face.
There were many discussions among the people watching around, and it was natural to see that the man shot a dozen or two silvers, but he was not at ease and even mocked your girl in public.
The T-shirt man smiled with a smile on his face: "What kind of politeness does the girl want me to say? It's better to find a place where I can say something polite to you?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice coldly said: "In the light of day, I dare to tease other girls without knowing shame. Is there any other way?"
Everyone looked at it soundly and saw that the tea house was on the inner side. A young man in a gray clothed shirt was staring coldly at the man in the blue shirt. The young man was quite handsome, standing behind him. A very tall man with a tall figure, a bearded beard, a cloth towel on his head, and a very ordinary clothes.
In the city of Xiangyang, Yunlong is mixed, rich and rich, poor and cheap, but at the moment when the Aoki Conference is about to be held, no one dares to underestimate anyone through their clothes, and no one knows who looks ordinary, and what is behind What kind of backing.
The T-shirt man was obviously surprised. He glanced at the young man, looked around, and smiled: "Where is your sacred? Are you saying me?"
"Besides you don't know how shameful there is, is there a second person?" The young man sneered, and didn't seem to take the T-shirt man in his eyes. He walked over and said to the girl: "Girl, you don't need to ignore such a person. , The blue sky and the white sky, the sky is big, I want to see who dares to be lawless. "
This man had only been in the crowd before, and was not noticeable. At this time, he suddenly came out, and many people's eyes fell on him. Standing beside the gate, there were a few beggars in rotten clothes. The one in front of him looked about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and unkempt hair, but his eyes were quite bright, staring at the young man who suddenly came out and hugged.
This middle-aged beggar is none other than Qi Ning.
Qi Ning, with the help of Zhong Ya ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Yi Rong changed his appearance and became a middle-aged beggar in his thirties. After all, he appeared as the master of Kang Jinlong. If he is too young, it is difficult to let People believe.
After meeting with Mao Hu'er and others, the group rushed to Xiangyang day and night, and in order to avoid delays, everyone had almost no rest along the way, that is, eating and drinking, also completed on horseback, fortunately I arrived in Xiangyang today, and there is still some time before the Aoki Conference in Gulong tomorrow afternoon.
Qi Ning knew that the Aoki Conference was also a big event on the rivers and lakes. When he arrived in Xiangyang, he was not in a hurry to go directly to Gulong. Instead, he wandered around in Xiangyang City. The Aoki Conference was imminent. Qi Ning pays attention to listening, so he can make preparations first.
Mao Hu'er and his entourage followed him, and Zining was naturally obedient. When he came to the money gate of this tea shop, he saw a crowd of people. Qi Ning wanted to see what happened, and squeezed to the door. In one scene, he could see clearly. When he saw the man in a blue shirt, he sneered, but suddenly someone stood up.
Qi Ning thought that some people couldn't get used to being really upset, but when he saw the young man who stood up, Qi Ning was shocked. He never thought that he would meet this person here, only to feel a little unbelievable.
