Chapter 841: Red Dust Inn
"Go, of course go, why not?" Su Peng looked at Guo Lei and said.
"We are now, we have embarked on the road of power hegemony, we don't develop, that is, the enemy develops to fight us, no matter how we have a relationship before, we are now with the Five Cities Alliance, the Blue Dragon Alliance, and the Jingzhou Iron Crown King, all of which have become fire and water, among these forces, our forces occupy the entire Liangzhou, plus most of Yuzhou, is the largest force, and the pressure on the surrounding three forces is not small, maybe they will join forces to plan something...... If that's the case, we can't bear it. ”
"Our weakness is still weak...... But fortunately, these are troubled times, and there are many ambitious people, and maybe we can still find allies. ”
"Usually we don't have much contact with other forces, but this time, the people invited to the Star Meeting are not the Blue Dragon Alliance, the Five Cities Alliance and the Iron Crown King, but there are people at the helm of the forces of the Blue Dragon Alliance, and I happen to be familiar with them, and there may be unexpected surprises."
Su Peng said to Guo Lei.
When Guo Lei heard this, he said: "What the boss said is also true, this meeting is probably true, so it is best to plan the route and plan......"
……
Su Peng and Guo Lei studied in Yuzhong County for half an hour, which can be regarded as a plan.
The location of Zhengzhou, close to Zhongzhou, is an area affected by Zhongzhou's forces, but it is still stable, but if you want to go to Zhengzhou, you have to pass through the territory of the Blue Dragon League by land, which is more of a headache.
So Su Peng chose a different route......
Sea route!
Su Peng and Ling Yun of the Stygian Sword Sect discussed, Su Peng and the others would take the ship of the Stygian Sword Sect, go through the waterway, and come to a state and county located in the western sea area of the Shenzhou map, and then land, and then take the land route to Zhongzhou.
Originally, Su Peng heard this plan. Pinching his nose, he felt a little cold, he was not very afraid of the people of the Blue Dragon League encircling him, but Guo Lei persuaded Su Peng to be careful to make the Wannian ship, Su Peng considered that he was not alone, and he had to bring some people to support the scene, so he reluctantly agreed to this route in the end.
Su Peng was also resolute, he said he would leave, and the day after the agreement, he took people on the ship of the Stygian Sea Sword Sect. Go to the inland sea of Liangzhou and sail west along the coastline.
The ship of the Stygian Sword Sect is very useful, and it is winter now, and the ocean current is in the direction of progress, Su Peng took his master, and in less than two days of sailing, they arrived at their destination city, Lishui County.
Lishui County.
"Childe, we have already purchased a high-quality horse, please get on the horse!"
In the city of Lishui County. A man with a slightly blue face led a horse and respectfully invited Su Peng to get on the horse.
There were more than 20 people around who looked like they were good at the rivers and lakes, all leading horses. Respectfully waiting for Su Peng.
These people are all guests in Su Pengqice's mansion.
Since Su Peng took over Liangzhou, he began to expand the group of masters in his mansion and spent a lot of money to recruit masters on the rivers and lakes.
As a matter of fact. After Su Peng's status, there have been famous people from the rivers and lakes who have come to defect, and some of them are for the future. Some people are for the support of a force in the troubled times, some are for the shining gold and silver, and some are for Su Peng's fame in the martial arts, asking for guidance......
During this time, Su Peng recruited a lot of talents. Su Peng specially built a mansion for this talent, called Qice Mansion, in addition to martial arts masters, he also recruited strange people, all kinds of masters with real talents and real learning.
Because there are more people recruited, in order to facilitate management, the rules are set, and after the assessment of Zhu Twenty-three and Su Peng, Guo Lei and others, the Jianghu people who defected to the recruitment in Qice Mansion are divided into four grades.
These fourth-class grades are the first to fourth-class guest secretaries.
The first-class guest secretary has the highest grade, and the fourth-class guest secretary has the worst grade.
Among them, the fourth-class guest qing is probably equivalent to the Jianghu people who rank seventh or eighth in the ten small swords of the rivers and lakes.
Although the Ten Little Swords of the Rivers and Lakes have some names, as Ouyang Qing said, some of them are not worthy of the name, and there are more people with higher martial arts than them on the rivers and lakes, but these people are not as good as the Ten Little Swords, their names are not as high as the Ten Little Swords, their friends are less than the Ten Little Swords, their age is older than the Ten Little Swords, and their potential is not as great as the Ten Little Swords, so they are not as dazzling as the Ten Little Swords in the rivers and lakes...... But when it comes to strength, when the ten little swords of the rivers and lakes meet them, they may not be able to get benefits, even if they are poor, they are limited.
There are countless such people on the rivers and lakes, and this time, Su Peng recruited a hundred people of this level in one go, calling them fourth-class guest secretaries.
Then there is the third-class guest secretary, the third-class guest secretary, probably the top ten sword ranking seven or eight martial arts level Jianghu people, such people have plummeted, and Su Peng only recruited twenty-three.
The second-class guest qing, that is, the level of Xu Ning, the soul locker, and Tan Ming, the nether scholar, the weakest of them is probably equivalent to the top three of the top ten swords, and the four absolute swords with high martial arts may be a little worse but not much.
First-class guest secretary, there is currently one in the mansion, that is, Zhu Twenty-three people, Zhu Twenty-three's martial arts are obviously one rank higher than Tan Ming and others, and he will definitely not fall behind when he encounters the four absolute swords, so he is a first-class guest secretary.
As for the fourth-class guest secretary, there is also a special guest secretary position, which is a level reserved for the purpose of recruiting masters of the sect worship elder level, but it is currently vacant, and there is no special guest secretary......
No, it should be said that there is one person, His Royal Highness Xiaoxian heard about several guest secretary levels set up by Su Peng, and he had to grab the title of a special guest secretary, but she didn't listen to Su Peng's command, with her or not, it was all the same.
The person who led Su Peng's horse in front of him was a master of the same level as Su Peng's Qice Mansion, Tan Ming, and Xu Ning, called the blue-faced ghost Gu Ming, who was a master of cultivating high and deep yin and soft internal strength, but because there was something wrong with his qi practice when he was young, his face was blue, so he had this name.
As for how high this person's martial arts are...... There is his record in the rivers and lakes, two years ago, Shi Qing, the god of boxing, was hired by a lot of money to kill this blue-faced ghost Gu Ming, but in the case of Shi Qing's secret calculation, Gu Ming still retreated, just vomited two mouthfuls of blood, but Shi Qing was invaded by the cold internal strength of the ancient city, and it took more than a month to recover, and then Shi Qing and his friends said when they were drinking, in the past four or five years, the most loss-making business was made this time.
It's just that such a person was finally subdued by Su Peng. entered Su Peng's Qice Mansion and was willing to be a second-class guest.
The reason why Gu Ming joined the Qice Mansion was that on the one hand, he saw that the Liangzhou Army was more promising, and on the other hand, it was because he had gone wrong in his early years of practice, which led to frequent stiffness in his body, but Su Peng's Jiuyang internal force could dissolve the cold depression in the other party's body, Su Peng saw his injury and promised to do it twice a year. To heal his luck, the blue-faced ghost Gu Mingcai was desperate and threw himself into the Qice Mansion, busy with Su Peng's saddle before and after.
At this time, seeing Gu Ming coming with a horse, Su Peng nodded, jumped on the horse, and Gu Ming shouted: "Get on the horse!" The more than 20 third- and fourth-class guests were on the horse at the same time. Gu Ming himself also jumped on a horse, Su Peng bowed his head, and then galloped up.
The crowd bypassed Lishui County from the dock and rushed towards Zhengzhou......
……
Su Peng and the others rode horses and galloped for a day. In the evening, he rested in the inn.
Su Peng went out this time, but this time is different from the past, usually Su Peng goes out. They are all alone and lonely, but now their status is different. When I went out again, there were two fourth-class guest secretaries in front of me who acted as scouts to explore the way, there were many guest secretaries who guarded the battle, and there were third-class guest secretaries in the back, and there were also blue-faced ghosts Gu Ming and other masters to serve the rack, someone sent food when they were hungry, and when they were thirsty, there were guest secretaries who brought wine to Su Peng, and when they were tired, someone arranged to live in the store in advance, which was very comfortable.
Although Su Peng said something on the surface, he also had some emotion in his heart, the power position is indeed different, if he continues to walk alone on the rivers and lakes, such thoughtful service, I am afraid that he will never be able to enjoy it.
These guests in the Qice Mansion, don't look at them are all people in the rivers and lakes, but there are many delicate people who take care of all aspects of the journey, which makes Su Peng feel that the journey of a thousand miles has become a trip on the broad road, which is very comfortable compared to a person.
In this way, Su Peng and others rushed for two days and came to the border between Jiaozhou and Zhengzhou.
……
On this day, there was a misty drizzle between heaven and earth, and this drizzle was like a powder mist, diffusing between heaven and earth, making everything feel a little foggy, but not sad.
At the junction of Jiaozhou and Zhengzhou, a group of more than 20 Jianghu people were walking through the drizzle, and the more than 20 people surrounded a man in Tsing Yi with a hat like the stars and the moon, escorting forward.
Suddenly, the man in green clothes who was in the middle of the knights suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse he was riding suddenly stopped with a neigh.
This person is Su Peng.
Su Peng looked ahead through the drizzle, and said to Gu Ming, the blue-faced ghost beside him: "Gu Ming, is the border between Jiaozhou and Zhengzhou ahead, Shilipo?" ”
"I've been here, and it should be Shilipo in front of me." Gu Ming replied.
"It's all here......" When Su Peng heard this, he seemed to think of something, he looked ahead, as if he was looking for something, and seemed to hesitate.
At this time, one of the people who were exploring the way ahead had already rushed back.
"Tell the Lord, the front is the Shili Slope of Jiaozhou Zhengzhou Junction, on the Shili Slope, there is an inn, I have already booked a place in the inn, please move there to take shelter from the rain and rest."
When Su Peng heard this, he exhaled lightly and said in a low voice: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you're here, let's go and have a look." ”
The light rain in the sky seemed to be sudden at this time, seeing this, Su Peng said loudly: "The rain is going to be heavy, go to the inn to take shelter from the rain!" ”
Su Peng's subordinates received the order, and everyone went to the inn in Shilipo.
Su Peng, who was on the horse, was driving the horses, but he was thinking about another person in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
He was so enthusiastic that he thought that Su Peng was his first friend in the rivers and lakes...... Fu Ziyi, when he was separated in Chaozhou, once told Su Peng about his secluded address, Fu Ziyi and his wife, on the border of Jiaozhou and Zhengzhou, run an inn together.
That inn should be the one in front.
Su Peng also missed Fu Ziyi a little, worried about whether he had cured his wife, but he felt that he was a little inappropriate to work hard and mobilize the people.
However, since his subordinate Keqing had already booked an inn, Su Peng was no longer hypocritical, and just stopped by to see his friend.
In this way, Su Peng and others rode their horses and galloped for only three or five minutes, and they saw a small inn in Shilipo.
When everyone rushed to the inn, Su Peng rode his horse and stood before he could see the name of the inn clearly.
I saw that on the small two-story building, the plaque said four words 'Hongchen Inn'.
This is already quite meaningful, and in this rain and powder, it seems even more mysterious...... (To be continued......)
