Chapter 214： Night talk in the inn

Chapter 214 Night Talk at the Inn

Yaowang Valley is located in Nanling, at the junction of the southwest of the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. To get here, you must first walk out of the Zhongzhou Mountains through a canyon of nearly 300 miles, and then pass through a plain area of ​​more than 500 miles to enter the Nanling Mountains.

“Cheer up, everyone!” Tie Jingang looked at the team: “After leaving Tongda Town, even if you leave the Bainamen’s sphere of influence, you may be attacked by bandits at any time!”

“Bandits? Haven’t we encountered them before?” a student asked.

"Ahem..." Tie Jin just coughed twice, "I mean, before it was just a small fight, in the future the bandits may be more ferocious! Don't take it lightly."

Having said that, there is more than one Bainamen sect in the Zhongzhou Mountains. In addition to Tongda Town, there is also a town at the entrance and exit to the north, east, south and west of the mountain range. After all, it is a transportation thoroughfare. The huge flow of people forms a town and supports nearby sects.

Even the cottages that were originally bandits have discovered after so many years of development that it is definitely more comfortable to rely on towns and cities to collect protection fees and door-to-door fees than to rob homes, kill people and sell goods. Many large cottages use this golden basin to wash their hands and stop being bandits. Even in Nearby towns had their own industries and began to transition to serious sects.

Therefore, the Zhongzhou Mountains stretch for 500 miles, and there are a total of five towns and countless small mountain villages. Among them, in addition to Bainamen, there are also four relatively small sects. In order to ensure the flow of passengers in the mountains, these Jianghu sects still work hard to maintain law and order within their sphere of influence. It is difficult for ordinary thieves to find employment here.

After many days of trekking, the **** team finally arrived at Shannan Town at the southern end of the mountain range.

There were no more attacks along the way, and the students couldn't help but start to relax, talking and laughing all the way. Even if Teacher Tie asked for warnings, the atmosphere began to change in the direction of the autumn outing.

At the entrance of the town, there are officials checking the goods and collecting tolls. It would be better for a local snake to come forward for this kind of thing. After some negotiation by Li Xinyu, he finally managed to get through at a fairly fair price.

"Even if you officially enter the Central Plains after leaving here, most merchants are more willing to spend some money than the transportation costs caused by detours." Lu Fei introduced to Luo Jun: "Not only here, but also in other towns. Tolls will be collected. And the price is not low. The government only takes a portion and has to give a portion to the nearby sects. "

"For example, in the mountains to the east of Shannan Town, there is Qingfeng Village. It is said that there was a group of powerful bandits decades ago. Later, they changed their ways and started doing legitimate business. They also provided protection for Shannan Town and colluded with the government. ”

“They all say there is collusion between officials and businessmen, but here is actually a collusion between officials and bandits?” Luo Jun was speechless after hearing this.

"There is no way, this is [Martial Arts] after all, and strictly speaking, Qingfeng Village can no longer be regarded as bandits. Lu Fei smiled and shook his head. "After so many years of operation, although it is not a famous sect, it is It is considered a powerful force in the world, and everyone who comes from north to south has to be given some face. "

"I heard that Qingfeng Village has three masters, all of whom are top-notch masters. Among them, the eldest master and the second master are both very young. They usually either sit in the village or deal with the martial arts comrades, and they are rarely seen. In the town, The third boss is mainly responsible for the business. He is good at using a silver gun and is often active in the town. You must be polite when you encounter him, after all, he is a local snake..."

"There are so many details..." Luo Jun nodded and suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Does Tongda Town also have tolls? Why don't you remember paying them?"

 Lu Fei looked at Luo Jun with an expression that looked like a fool: "Tongda Town is Bainamen's territory, why should I pay for it at my own house?"

Luo Jun slapped his forehead and forgot about this.

Compared with Tongda Town, which gathers visitors from all over the world, Shannan Town is also very prosperous, but its scale is much smaller. The permanent population is only about 10,000 people, and there are not enough vacancies in the inn to book a hotel. A team of fifty people, Eventually they split into three groups and stayed at three inns.

"Don't run around at night this time." Before the team dispersed, Tie Jingang gave one final instruction: "The security here is not as good as that in Tongda Town. Although Qingfeng Village is in charge, it is a bandit after all, and its behavior is rather reckless. You are new here. , it’s easy to get into trouble. When you get to your respective inn, follow your senior brother’s instructions!”

There are five people including uncle and senior brother. Tie Jingang leads a team by himself, and the other four people are separated in twos, each leading a team. The leaders of Luo Jun's team are senior brother Song from the martial arts sect and senior sister Deng from the incantation sect. .

,

Next door, there are Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao and two girls.

Yes, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but Luo Jun, Ling Xin, and Senior Sister Miao were assigned to the same group.

Even if this group doesn't have a leader, its combat power is quite impressive... Luo Jun thought in his mind, not to mention Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao is also the top level among this group of students, and Lu Fei, these people besides lack of [Martial Arts] Their experience and combat ability are no worse than those of those senior brothers and sisters, and may even be better!

However, Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Deng, who are leading the team, are less powerful and experienced than the other two senior brothers. I don’t know if this arrangement was intentional.

The check-in time was a bit late today. After dinner, it was already dark. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. In Luo Jun's room, some of his buddies were lying down and chatting.

 With the budding boys in their twenties, the topics they talk about besides cultivation, sports, games, etc. are mostly about girls.

"Eh? Tell me, is Ling Xin interested in me?"

Somewhat abruptly, Zhao Jian suddenly said this sentence.

“Huh?!” The other three people raised questions in unison.

"You..." Xu Yiming looked at his classmate: "I have a relative who is a psychiatrist. I will ask him to check on you when I return to the main world."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jian said angrily, "I'm not kidding!"

"What makes you so confident?" Lu Fei also felt incredible. "That's the Golden Blade Witch, a genius who is one of the best in the Ling family, in Cathay, and even in the entire world... To be honest, in terms of true strength, I'm afraid she can defeat 90% of the teachers in the academy. I'm very happy that she can come here to study." Surprised..." "Perhaps she came for me." Zhao Jian rubbed his chin and nodded seriously: "Although I don't remember when I came into contact with her."

"I feel like a psychiatrist can no longer save you." Xu Yiming sighed: "You have to find a psychiatrist..."

"Please keep your voice down..." Luo Jun hissed and pointed to the wall: "They are right next door. This brick wall may not be able to block our whispers. Don't chat while a golden light breaks through the wall. Brothers, let’s finish playing with you!”

"No...don't you all notice?" Zhao Jian looked incredulous: "She always looks in my direction from time to time along the way. I have inadvertently looked at her many times. And every time we look at each other, Soon, she will turn away, she must be shy!”

"After you said that..." Xu Yiming touched his chin and recalled: "I seem to have looked at her..."

"Me too..." Lu Fei recalled and nodded.

“Have you all discovered it?” Zhao Jian said in surprise, “Do you believe me now?”

“I believe you are tall!” Xu Yiming said: “In that case, you might be looking at me!”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhao Jian bulged his dark biceps and said firmly: "She was definitely conquered by my masculine charm..."

"I think the possibility of looking at Lu Fei is greater than that of looking at you..." Xu Yiming clapped his fingers and said: "Just say, comparing strength, appearance, even your so-called masculine charm, how can you compare with Lu? Flying?"

"You two, don't get involved with me..." Lu Fei waved his hands hurriedly: "I can't afford the Ling family clan..."

"What..." When the three of them were arguing, Luo Jun raised his hand quietly: "I feel like she might be looking at me..."

“You?” Several people looked at Luo Jun.

Luo Jun nodded: "Actually, Ling Xin and I are high school classmates, and we knew each other before we entered school..."

“Huh?!” Several people were surprised: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

"You didn't ask me earlier?" Luo Jun spread his hands: "Besides, she and I didn't even talk a few words in high school, and we weren't very familiar with each other... But after all, we are classmates, and she is so awesome, so she may have some concern for me. Bar…"

"I remember..." Lu Fei touched his chin: "She really helped you block the flying money in Tongda Town before!"

"Right?" Luo Jun smiled: "And I heard, I heard... Ling Xin should have someone he cares about... Although I don't know who it is, I should have known him for a long time..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Jian: "I remember you are from Chaicheng, right? Have you been to Ningdong before?"

Zhao Jian shook his head.

“What about Lingyun Island? Apart from this internship in Wilderness, have you been there before?”

"nor…"

"Then don't think about it." Luo Jun spread his hands: "It's no longer possible, just go to bed."

"Why is this..." Zhao Jian looked aggrieved and said aggrievedly: "You...how can you destroy the dream of a green and beautiful young man!"

“You’re still green...” Xu Yiming said sarcastically: “At most, it’s a piece of black garlic!”

"Hahaha..." Several people in the room laughed together, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the whole inn shook.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jian instinctively grabbed the quilt and looked at the next door: "It couldn't be...our conversation was really heard by the Golden Blade Witch, right?"

"It's not over there!" Lu Fei's face became serious: "It's coming from outside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of fire shot up from the window, followed by another loud noise!
