Chapter 179 Gathering in Fengcheng
After a simple meal in Chaliao and filling their stomachs, the couple continued to walk to the city. It took half an hour to see the gate.
I didn't expect that the dock was still so far away from the city. Shan Xiaowu couldn't help but admire the foresight. If she hadn't eaten some steamed buns and steamed buns in Chaliao first, maybe she would be hungry and fainted before she got to the city.
Entering the city, the two found a relatively clean inn to stay.
Because the martial arts conference is about to begin, there are more and more people coming to Fengcheng to stay in the top every day. Whether they are invited or not, they are flocking to Fengcheng.
In order to cope with this situation, the inn has built at least 20 inns. Whenever the conference is approaching, all the inns are full of doors, and people who arrive a little later can't find a place to stay at all.
Although the conference is only held for five days. But this is equivalent to the usual two-year business performance, which will definitely make the whole Fengcheng shops make a lot of money.
The city is often full of swordsmen with weapons. Of course, there are also many heroic chivalrous women.
It is true that it is said that the sons and daughters of the world are not informal.
Looking at the lively scene of people coming and going downstairs, Shan Xiaowu, who stood upstairs by the window for a long time, finally couldn't help dragging her downstairs to go shopping with her.
Shortly after the two left, another group of strong men with a dozen people holding big knives and wearing black gauze hats to cover his face tightly suddenly appeared in Fengcheng, and the group of people went straight into the diagonal inn.
The leader threw an ingot of ten taels of gold on the counter and ordered rudely, "The rooms in the left row upstairs are all wrapped up. If there is no order, you are not allowed to go up and disturb."
The shopkeeper's eyes had been stuck to the gold ingot for a long time. Hearing the words, he hurriedly agreed, and immediately called the shopkeeper to lead the way. As a result, before the shopkeeper approached, the tall and strong man in his company threw him aside fiercely, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The poor shopkeeper fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. He got up and hid next to the shopkeeper.
There are often Jianghu people walking around in Fengcheng, and they don't meet such unreasonable guests once or twice. As long as it is not a major event that causes people's lives, most of them will swallow their anger - who let these barbarians give money generously and have a lot of effort? It's better to be quiet if they don't want to be pinched to death. Those who know the current affairs are handsome!
"Remember, don't disturb me without telling you to go upstairs, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
Under the trembling gaze of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper World War II, a dozen strong men lined up in an orderly manner. The one walking at the end seemed to have been turning his head and looking at the door intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't know what he was wary of.
When he entered the room, the thinner man poked his head and looked left and right. Seeing that there was nothing, he closed the door with a touch.
When he turned around, the people in the room had already taken off the hat, and the person sitting at the table was unbroken, who had not appeared for two years.
"General, it's all right." Amu nodded to him, and then retreated to one side, but his eyes were straight at the figure in the dark corner.
Wanyan answered coldly, took a sip of the herbal tea handed over by Zam, and frowned deeply, "Are you sure she will appear here?"
"If the general doesn't believe it, he can find a way to take Princess Yunbei away by himself. Why should he listen to what he said and come here?" The windows were all closed, the room was dark, the figures in the corner stood still quietly, and the voice was still hoarse and rough.
With a soft crack, the ceramic teacup was suddenly crushed, Wanyan snorted coldly, and his whole body exuded a violent and vicious atmosphere.
He has been dormant in Jinji for two years, and he has been constantly looking for opportunities to attack Shan Xiaowu. Who has ever wanted to be too close? No one can get close to her at all. Not to mention that the man was not abhorr, he lost a lot of confidants.
Before he led the mission to leave the capital, he also wanted to use political means to force the single family to submit, but as soon as he proposed to ask Shan Xiaowu, a folk 'strange woman', to conclude the good relationship between the two countries, Qin and Jin. Shan Jinlin said, 'Our dynasty did not marry a married woman as a marriage partner. She has married and is about to be a mother. . If you really marry a general, not to mention disrespect for Xiliang, it is not easy to explain to the people. He blocked all his plans back.
Obviously, Emperor Jinluo, who was standing on Shan Jinlin's side, naturally said that 'this matter was not appropriate', and he was 'presently generous' and pointed out to him the beautiful daughters of two important ministers in the court on the spot, and repeatedly said that the diplomatic relations between the two countries were a big deal. Don't neglect the two friendly officials. After the Spring Festival, Xiliang can also send their princess to Jinluo to play to see if there is anyone they like to marry again.
It is related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Even if they want to rebel from Xiliang, they dare not tear their faces with Emperor Jinluo before they are properly prepared. Not to mention that they are still on other people's territory - after thinking about it, they can only grit their teeth and suffer this stuffy stick, and they have to say thanking the Emperor Jinluo.
When he returned to the post hall, he split all the doors, tables and chairs into pieces without saying a word. Well, you are the emperor, you are so bullying!
Probably enough to appreciate the unbreakable stinky face, the hoarse voice in the corner came out again, with a little unclear sarcasm, "Wait for the opportunity in peace. She is already here."
Wanyan raised his head unbrokenly. After a long time, he squinted and sneered with an unclear meaning. He turned his face and ordered to Amu, "Go and find out where she lives. Be careful not to let the surnamed Qi find out."
Amu just wanted to take the order, but a sentence came from the corner without hurry, "Don't check it. I can tell the general now. The couple live diagonally opposite the guest like a cloud.
A Mu just took his step and slowly took it back. He turned his head and looked at Wanyan. The latter didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly.
A Mu was shocked, hurriedly saluted, carefully opened the door and went out to inquire about the news.
The shadow in the corner did not show any anger at the obvious distrust of Wanyan. He only stayed quietly and did not leave soon.
The two people who were pregnant did not expect that the common goal of the two of them, Shan Xiaowu, was happily following the streets and alleys of Fengcheng at this moment.
"I didn't expect that Fengcheng was not big, but there was a lot to eat." And there are many that she has never eaten before.
For example, the crispy fried sweet fish skewer she is holding in her hand is fried with sugar, pepper and flour wrapped in a small fish that is only half a finger long. Although it is strange, it tastes rare, sweet, fragrant, crispy and spicy, and because the fish is small, it is not fishy. Wei, she has eaten three skewers in a row and can't stop.
If it hadn't been for reminding her that she would get angry if she ate too much, she would definitely have bought another five skewers to eat enough.
There are a lot of people on the street, and the majority of people with weapons make up the rivers and lakes. What is rare is that everyone is kind of kind of harmony. There is no situation where enemies meet and fight without saying a word. Basically, they get together in twos and threes, or say that brothers eat meat and drink or talk loudly. As for the topic, except for bragging. Daily gossip and women showing off their wealth are naturally inseparable from the martial arts conference that will be held in the future.
Shan Xiaowu heard a lot of gossip about Xiaoyao Island when he was eating.
"... I have been practicing hard for so many years. I originally wanted to take the title of leader of the Wulin League in one fell swoop two years ago. Who would have thought that Lao Shizi Xiaoyao Island had postponed the conference until now. I... I... burp..." A strong man at the next table blushed and burped wine. While banging his chest with a large amount of miscellaneous hair with his hand, he said with his big tongue, "If it weren't... If it's not postponed, I, I must First place!"
As soon as this was said, there was a man who was familiar with this person's background next to him immediately laughed and joked, " Come on, you Li Daniu's such a heavy body and three-legged cat kung fu dare to praise Haikou for winning the championship in one fell swoop, but don't let the wind flash your tongue too much, and then you can cry."
As soon as the voice here fell, before Li Daniu opened his mouth, another sentence appeared in the laughing crowd, "That's it! I won't talk about other people. You may not be able to beat the gatekeeper, let alone challenge Qiu Da's leader in the end. He is a champion who has been re-elected for several times, and his strength is there!"
Li Daniu was not annoyed when he was so ridiculed. He just laughed and hiccuped several times, touched his stomach and smashed his mouth, and then shouted, "Xiao Er...come... come on wine!"
The people in the inn laughed again when they heard the words. They shook their heads one after another and said that Li Daniu was indeed a road goods. Maybe he didn't even get the hero post. He was just bragging here.
"Bright, have you heard about it? Xiaoyao Island is real this time. It is said that people will be sent to participate in the competition this year.
"Is this true?"
The crowd really began a heated discussion again. Compared with whether Li Da Niu was bragging or not, they were more concerned about Xiaoyao Island, which has rarely appeared in the world.
"The island owner's work is becoming more and more incomprehensible. If you just want to come to participate in the competition, you can do it directly. Why do you want the alliance leader to postpone the conference for two years?"
Shan Xiaowu, with his ears so high, coughed when he heard the words, and apologized silently in his heart one by one with an embarrassed face: I'm sorry to make everyone wronged...
"That's right. It's really weird." The people in the inn nodded one after another, but soon there was a good person who watched Li Daniu continue to make fun of the previous topic, "Da Niu, do you hear that Xiaoyao Island will also participate in the test. Just put out your delusion of winning the championship in one fell swoop, and don't even be able to enter the preliminary competition.
"Bah, you monkey son of a bitch, don't curse me."
......
Listening to everyone's laughter and scolding in my ear, many of them were listening to the news of Xiaoyao Island. Shan Xiaowu quietly held the bowl and asked in a low voice, "Son, are we really going to send people to participate in the competition?"
She put a piece of fried pork in scoop in her bowl and nodled and said, "Uh-huh."
Since Xiaoyao Island wants to postpone the martial arts conference, they also have to make some corresponding 'compensation'. With the masters sent by Xiaoyao Island, I'm not afraid that this martial arts conference is not exciting enough.
Shan Xiaowu got closer, and his voice was mysteriously suppressed again, "Who are you going to send to fight?"
He broke the steamed bun slowly and didn't raise his head when he heard the words. "It hasn't been decided yet."
"Yeah?!" Are you kidding?
"Running thunder, cutting the moon, flying claws, hook Ye," he counted the four guardians with a blank face, paused and continued, "... they will solve it by themselves, and the selected representatives will go directly to Fengcheng to meet us."
It turns out that this is the truth of 'not yet decided' - let all the people who want to join in the fun fight on their own side, and if they win, they can win the grand prize and represent Xiaoyao Island.
Shan Xiaowu sighed. He really couldn't see that her father-in-law was also a standard shopkeeper, who could do better than her.
Ben Lei and Zhan Yue have seen it every day for two years. It's difficult for her to pretend that she doesn't know her, but flying claws and Gou Ye...
Thinking of the shy and fat teenager's unique skill of easily hollowing out the huge rocks with only one hand, Shan Xiaowu subconsciously raised his eyebrows, "Sang, do you want to get a martial arts alliance leader to play?"
"I'm not interested." He calmly picked up the dishes for Shan Xiaowu, "Deat! The food is cold... No matter who comes, it's just participation."
Before the finals, the representatives of the participants will abstain and continue to stay as an audience to pay attention to the results - Xiaoyao Island does not need the title of the leader of the martial arts alliance to support the scene.
"Oh." I don't know who will fight on behalf of Xiaoyao Island. Shan Xiaowu satisfied his curiosity, so he will not continue to ask questions and eat his own food obediently.
