Chapter 1227 Jianghu

When I came to the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty, I have always been in contact with soldiers or officials of the imperial court, but it is the first time I have heard that there are rivers and lakes here.

Jianghu people?

In fact, the people in the rivers and lakes are not as mysterious as those written in the "martial arts" I have come into contact with before, and the exercises in the rivers and lakes are far from reaching the realm of "the power of the dragon elephant", or "the incorruptible body", "destroying the mountains and rocks", and "overwhelming the mountains and the sea" in the description.

That kind of realm can only be achieved by cultivating spells and using the aura of heaven and earth as the force.

A real Jianghu person, who can break a tree with one punch and split a stone tablet with one palm, is already a first-class master.

However, there is one thing, which is true, that is, the rivers and lakes are also divided into internal strength, light power, fist, sword, palm and other schools.

Some people may think that since the people in the rivers and lakes have such strong skills, wouldn't it be invincible for them to march and charge?

This is not the case.

Riding a horse to charge to fight, is another skill, light skills do not mean good equestrianism, and immediately fighting, are long weapons, pay attention to a "sweep a large piece", swords, short knives or something, it is useless at all.

Of course, if you can cultivate sword qi and sword qi, it will be a different matter.

For example, the mountain lion camel, the top few fierce generals in the Dajin Kingdom, even if they are put in the rivers and lakes, they are also an absolute hero.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, it is rumored that he is also a good man in the rivers and lakes, and his Qingxia magic skills are the exercises of the rivers and lakes.

"In this situation, there are Dajin tigers eyeing the outside, and there are bandits and robbers inside, and the people and horses of the imperial court are either confronting Dajin or on the way to suppress bandits.

And some of these areas can be stable, to a large extent, they are taken care of by the people of Jianghu. Li Qingqing explained to me: "In the rivers and lakes, the areas are divided into gangs, factions, mountains, gates, etc., and the Huaihe Gang is a large force among them. ”

I smiled: "Since there is the Huaihe Gang, is there the Yangtze River Gang, the Yellow River Gang?"

Li Qingqing was surprised: "You guessed right, there are really the Yangtze River Gang and the Yellow River Gang." It's just that the Yangtze River Gang has changed its name and is called the Twelve Docks, and the Yellow River Gang has also changed its name and is called the Golden Dragon Society. In the rivers and lakes, they are all well-known factions. ”

Forehead.

All right.

I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to happen.

"The Huaihe Gang has twelve rudders, and there is exactly one rudder in this Huainan city. Li Qingqing smiled: "Fortunately, we have no long things, although we have the jade seal of the country, but ordinary people can't see it at all." ”

In order to pretend to be a scholar, I only brought the blood-devouring knife and the glazed green lantern, as well as the mountains and rivers map, and the Confucian scroll of the Heavenly Book.

As for the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Panlong Zhan Golden Gun, they were all placed by me in the Great Song Treasury of Bianliang City, and let the Bone Capital Tielang guard them.

Li Qingqing only carried the jade seal of the heirloom on his back, and did not bring the golden stick of the dragon, but only the sword left by the original golden vulture.

In this era, there are more scholars who wear swords, and it is not unusual for her to wear a sword.

The two of us drove our horses and slowly entered the city of Huainan.

With the Huai River as the boundary, after crossing the Huai River, the scene of this Huainan City is another scene.

It seems that it is indeed much more beautiful than the cities in the north, comparable to Bianliang.

The streets of the city were so crowded that we had no choice but to get off our horses and lead them on foot.

I saw that the city was full of dazzling colors, selling all kinds of things, eating and drinking.

Seeing that it was not early, Li Qingqing and I found a noodle stall and ordered two bowls of meat wontons to eat.

After eating and drinking, we planned to find an inn to live in.

But at this moment, there was a big man, his eyes fell on Li Qingqing's body, and slowly passed by us.

Li Qingqing glanced at it and sneered: "Brother Jiang, the person who stepped on the plate is here?"

"Stepping on a plate?"

"That's right, the incision of the rivers and lakes, which is the meaning of 'spy'. Li Qingqing replied.

"Uh......" I understood what she meant: "You mean, someone wants to rob us? Didn't you say that the Huaihe Gang doesn't look down on the two of us?"

"The Huaihe Gang doesn't look down on the two of us, but in this Jianghu, there is not only the Huaihe Gang. Li Qingqing rolled his eyes: "The two of us came out of Bianliang, and we had a big bag of gold beads on us." ”

All right.

Li Qingqing and I are very "rich".

When the two of us were in Phoenix Mountain before, we got the ten carts of jewelry that Qin Hui sent to Dajin Kingdom, which was "priceless" in the real sense, so when I came out of Bianliang City, Li Qingqing deliberately chose two bags of gold beads, she brought one bag, and I brought one bag in case of emergency.

After all, there are times when force can't solve everything, but money can.

Along the way, Li Qingqing was responsible for paying the money, and I couldn't figure out the exchange ratio of gold and silver in this era.

It is estimated that when Li Qingqing paid the bill just now, he accidentally leaked the gold beads, which was seen by people.

I wondered, "You just paid the bill, and you didn't pay the bill with gold beads, how do they know that you have gold beads?

Li Qingqing smiled: "You won't be good at this." The bag contains gold or broken copper and iron, in the eyes of a discerning person, you can tell at a glance, in the rivers and lakes, this line has a professional name, called - peeping light.

In other words, the moment your bag is opened, the golden light, which is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, can be captured by them.

As the saying goes, 'interlacing is like separating mountains', and you certainly don't understand these doorways. ”

Ouch I'll go!

There are really a lot of doorways in the ninth stream.

For petty thieves, Li Qingqing and I don't care at all, with my ability, let alone a few small thieves, even if there is a team of thousands of soldiers, I can kill them.

We quickly found an inn, stayed in it, and then asked the owner for a room.

That's right, there is only one room, we are dressed as men, and we are called "brothers", Li Qingqing calls me "Brother Jiang", I call him "Brother Qing", if we live separately, we will be confused.

Although men and women are in the same room, we don't sleep at all, so there is no embarrassment.

In the evening, Li Qingqing practiced the Qingxia Divine Skill that I taught her, while I practiced the Yin and Yang poles to refine the corpse, and each meditated.

The next day, we will go again.

In this era, because there are no electric lights, you can only rely on oil lamps or something, and naturally there are no street lamps or anything like that, so as long as it gets dark, there are no people on the street.

After we asked for a room, soon two more big men came into the inn, each looked at us, and then opened two rooms as well.

Stalking actually came to the inn?

Li Qingqing closed the door, fastened the latch, and said, "Brother Jiang, tonight, we probably won't be able to cultivate well." ”
