Chapter 214 Inn Night Talk
Yaowang Valley is located in Nanling, located at the junction of the southwest of the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. To get here, you must first pass through the nearly 300-mile canyon and walk out of the Zhongzhou Mountains, then pass through the more than 500-mile plain area and enter the Nanling Mountains.
"Everyone cheer up!" Tie Jingang looked at the team: "If you leave Tongda Town, even if you leave the Baina Sect''s sphere of influence, you may be attacked by bandits at any time!"
"Bandits? Haven''t we met them before?" a student questioned.
"Cough cough..." Tie Jingang coughed twice, "I mean, before, it was just a small fight, and the bandits in the future may be even more cruel! Don''t take it lightly."
That being said, there are more than Bainamen in the Zhongzhou Mountains. In addition to Tongda Town, there is also an entrance and exit to the north, east, south and west of the mountain range. After all, it is a major transportation road, and the huge traffic of people has formed a town and also supported the nearby sects.
Even if it was originally a thief, after so many years of development, it has been discovered that it is definitely more comfortable to collect protection fees and pass the door by relying on the town to save money. Many large sects use this golden basin to wash their hands and no longer become robbers. They even own their own industries in nearby towns and begin to transition to a serious sect.
Therefore, the Zhongzhou Mountains are 500 miles long and there are five towns and countless small mountain villages. Among them, in addition to Bainamen, there are four not small sects. In order to ensure the passenger flow of the mountains, these sects are working very hard to maintain public order within their sphere of influence. It is difficult for ordinary bandits 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 was no attack on the way, and the students couldn''t help but start to relax, talking and laughing all the way. Even if Teacher Tie asked for a warning, the atmosphere began to change in the direction of the autumn outing.
At the entrance of the town, an official was inspecting the goods and levying tolls. It is better for local snakes to come forward. After Li Xinyu''s negotiations, he finally passed the test at a fair price.
"Even if you officially enter the Central Plains after leaving here, most merchants are more willing to spend some money to handle the transportation costs caused by detours." Lu Fei introduced to Luo Jun: "Not only here, but other towns will also charge tolls. And the prices are not low. The government only takes a part, and it has to take out a part to the nearby sects."
"For example, Qingfeng Village is located in the mountains east of Shannan Town. It is said that it was also a group of powerful bandits decades ago. Later, it turned into a new era and started doing legitimate business, providing protection for Shannan Town, and colluding with the government."
"Everyone said that the collusion between officials and businessmen is actually a collusion between officials and bandits?" Luo Jun was shocked when he heard this.
"There is no way. After all, this place is [Wu Lin], and strictly speaking, Qingfeng Village can no longer be considered a bandit. Lu Fei smiled and shook his head. "After so many years of operation, although it is not considered a famous sect, it is also a force in the martial arts world. Those who come and go from north to south have to give some face. ”
"I heard that there are three leaders in Qingfeng Village, all of which are first-class masters. Among them, the second leader of the great boss is not young. They usually either sit in the parody or deal with fellow martial arts, but they are basically unable to see them. The business in the town is mainly the third leader. He is good at using a silver spear and often moves in the town. He is very kind to the town and is more polite when he encounters it. After all, he is a local snake..."
"There are so many things to pay..." Luo Jun nodded and suddenly said curiously: "Does Tongda Town also have tolls? Why don''t you remember that you have paid it?"
Lu Fei looked at Luo Jun with a fool''s expression: "Tongda Town is the territory of Bainamen, what money should I pay at my own home?"
Luo Jun slapped his forehead and forgot about this.
Compared with Tongda Town, which gathers tourists from all over the world, Shannan Town is also very prosperous, but it is much smaller in scale. The permanent population is only 10,000, and there are not enough inns available for booking. The team of fifty people was eventually broken into three groups and stayed at the three inns respectively.
"Don''t run around this evening." Before the team dispersed, Tie Jingang finally gave instructing: "The public security here is not as good as Tongda Town. Although Qingfeng Village is in charge, it is a thief after all, and has a reckless style of conduct. You are just a little bitch-like when you first arrive, and it is easy to cause trouble. When you arrive at their respective inns, you will follow the arrangements of your senior brother!"
Uncle Shi plus five senior brothers and sisters. Tie Jingang led a team himself, and the other four separated in pairs, each leading a team. Luo Jun''s team leader is Senior Brother Song from the Martial Sect and Senior Sister Deng from the Curse Sect.
If you are not in your own territory, you should always be more low-key in everything, and the accommodation conditions are greatly reduced. The room is for four people, which happens to be a room in Luo Jun, Lu Fei, Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming.
Next door, there are Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao and two girls.
Yes, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, Luo Jun and Ling Xin and Senior Miao were assigned to the same group.
Even if this group has no team leader, its combat power is quite impressive... Luo Jun thought to himself, Ling Xin is not to mention that Lao Miaomiao is also at the top of this group of students, and Lu Fei. In addition to lacking [Martial Arts] experience, these people are not inferior to those senior brothers and sisters, and may even be stronger!
However, Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Deng, who are leading the team, are not as strong and experienced as the other two. I wonder if they intend to make arrangements like this.
I checked in today a little late. After dinner, it was already dark. Everyone went back to their room to prepare for rest. In Luo Jun''s room, my buddies were lying down to chat.
When the 200-year-old boy was young, he was basically a girl talking about topics other than practice, sports, games, etc.
"Eh? You guys say, is that Ling Xin interesting to me?"
It was a little abrupt, and Zhao Jian suddenly said something like this.
"Ha?!" The other three people made neat doubts.
"You..." Xu Yiming looked at his classmate: "I have a relative who is a psychologist. When I return to the main world, I will let him take a look."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jian said angrily: "I didn''t laugh!"
"What makes you so confident?" Lu Fei also found it incredible. "That''s a genius who can be counted by Jin Feng, a family member of the Ling family, Zhendan and even the whole world... To be honest, in terms of strength, I''m afraid that they can beat 90% of the teachers in the academy. I was surprised that she could come here to school..." "Maybe she was coming to me." Zhao Jian rubbed his chin and nodded seriously: "Although I don''t remember when I had contacted her."
"I feel that the psychologist can no longer save you." Xu Yiming sighed: "I have to find someone who is psychiatric..."
"You can keep a little quiet..." Luo Jun snorted and pointed to the wall: "They are right next door. This brick wall may not stop our whispers. Don''t talk while a golden light breaks into the wall. Brothers and I will finish playing with you!"
"No... you didn''t notice it?" Zhao Jian looked incredible: "Along the way, she always looked in my direction from time to time. I have accidentally looked at her many times. And every time she meets her, she will turn her head, she must be shy!"
"After you said this..." Xu Yiming touched his chin and recalled: "I seem to have looked at her too..."
"Me too..." Lu Fei nodded when he recalled
"Did you all find out?" Zhao Jian said in surprise: "Believe me now, right?"
"I believe you!" Xu Yiming said, "According to this, it may be that he is looking at me!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhao Jian bulged his dark biceps and said firmly: "She was definitely conquered by my male charm..."
"I think the possibility of looking at Lu Fei is greater than that of you..." Xu Yiming said with his fingers: "Just say, compare your strength and appearance, even if you are more masculine charm than you call it, what are you comparable to Lu Fei?"
"Don''t get me involved..." Lu Fei waved his hand quickly: "I can''t afford to be in the Ling family..."
"That..." When the three of them argued, Luo Jun quietly raised his hand: "I feel that 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 met before we entered school..."
"Wow?" Several people said in surprise: "Why didn''t you say it earlier?"
"You haven''t asked a question a long time ago?" Luo Jun spread his hands: "Besides, I haven''t said a few words to her in high school, and I''m not very familiar with her... But after all, she is a classmate, and she is so powerful, so she may have some care about me..."
"I remembered..." Lu Fei touched his chin: "Before, she did help you block the silver you flew in Tongda Town!"
"Right?" Luo Jun smiled: "And I heard that, I heard... Ling Xin should be someone who cares... Although she doesn''t know who it is, she should have known each other for a long time..."
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Jian: "I remember you are from Chaicheng, right? Have you ever been to Ningdong before?"
Zhao Jian shook his head.
"What about Lingyun Island? Have you been to this time except for the internship in the wilderness?"
“No…”
"Then don''t have to think about it." Luo Jun spread his hands: "There''s no chance, just take a shower and go to bed."
"Why are you like this..." Zhao Jian looked unwilling and said aggrievedly: "You... how can you destroy the longing of a beautiful young man!"
"You are still green..." Xu Yiming said sarcastically: "At most, it''s black garlic!"
"Hahaha..." Several people in the house laughed, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the entire inn began to shake.
"What''s wrong?" Zhao Jian instinctively grabbed the quilt and looked at the next door: "It won''t be... our conversation was really heard by the witch Jin Feng, right?"
"Not over there!" Lu Fei''s face turned serious: "It was coming from outside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fire light shot up from outside the window, followed by another loud bang!
