Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 127 Constellation
In the evening, as the sun went down, Li Xin and Li Xin moved their stools back to the lobby to sit down.

It so happened that Bai Zhantang also came back, his face was obviously happy.

As soon as he walked in, he said mysteriously: "Guess what I found in the town?"

"What?"

Li Xin asked cooperatively.

"Gambling shop! I didn't expect such a small town to have a serious place to play."

Bai Zhantang sat down at the table between the two of them.

"The gambling house is considered a serious place? Look at you, you can't hold back your itchy hands, how many times have you played?"

Li Xin thought to himself, due to the emergence of variables, Bai Zhantang was in the hands of Dazui Niang, and he did not lose to collapse.

There is no interest in quitting gambling.

Until Big Mouth Niang left Qixia Town and returned to the village, Bai Zhantang didn't ask her real identity.

The secret of Duanzhi Xuanyuan's identity is currently only known to Li Xin, a traveler.

Of course, there may be another person who knows, that is, Louzhi County, but it doesn't need to be considered too much.

"A small gamble will hurt your health. I promised Xiangyu that I would not gamble too much, so I played for more than an hour with a small amount of money. I won less than two taels of silver in total."

Bai Zhantang said with a smile, and took out the money bag from his bosom and opened it for Li Xin and the two to see.

Sure enough, it became bulging, mostly copper coins.

"Well, if you win too much, you're not guaranteed to cause trouble again, which will cause trouble."

Li Xin nodded, Bai Zhantang really had a sense of proportion.

In Qixia Town, he could even hold back and never went to the casino once.

Come to this Shuangqi town, just relax and take the opportunity to play today, it doesn't hurt too much.

"I'll take care of dinner and supper tonight!"

Bai Zhantang simply threw the money bag on the table, very proudly.

The main reason is that he is going to set off tomorrow, so if he doesn't ride a horse, he will rely on light work.

Putting such a heavy purse on your body seems cumbersome, so it is better to spend it all.

"That's a good relationship, I can finally save a fortune?"

Li Xin joked.

All the food and food along the way, as well as the cost of accommodation and meals yesterday, were all paid by him.

"Yes, I am the master today! Come on! Serve wine and meat!"

Bai Zhantang yelled in the direction of the kitchen.

"coming!"

Soon, Ximei and Haomei came out with two big plates of horse meat and two jugs of wine respectively.

"What's the situation? So much?"

Bai Zhantang saw that the two plates were very large, and the horse meat was also piled up into a hill.

If you look closely, the meat is still the best part of the horse.

"Thanks to Daxia Li for taking action today, the good girl was not bullied by the bad guys. This meal is thanks to Daxia Li!"

Ximei explained.

At the same time, the good girl beside her thanked Li Yuanfang again.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's not easy for you to do business."

Li Yuanfang said.

"What's the matter? It's a rare treat for me, and the money can't be spent?"

Bai Zhantang was a little depressed, and said again: "I came back from a round trip outside, he has become a hero, what about the two of us?"

He pointed to himself and Li Xin.

"You guys? It's considered polite to call you a young hero, please be content."

Ximei said directly.

After speaking, he glanced at Li Xin, raised his chin slightly, and went back to the kitchen with his good sister.

"Yuan Fang, you have shown your martial arts with this shot, and you have been upgraded to a hero. Brother Bai and I have borrowed your light. You are Li Daxia, and I am Li Shaoxia. It is easy to distinguish between these titles."

Li Xin smiled, and pointed to the two jugs of wine: "Drink whatever you thank you for, and leave all the precautions for tonight to me."

Along the way, Li Yuanfang basically didn't drink alcohol.

Arriving in Shuangqi Town, he only had a few moderate drinks after arriving at the inn.

In fact, it’s okay to drink more, but he is so cautious about his duties.

In his opinion, the Nine Dragons Sun and Moon Vase cannot be missed.

"Then I'll have a few drinks."

But after Li Xin said everything, Li Yuanfang definitely accepted it, but he still didn't intend to drink too much.

Horse meat can be eaten open.

The three munched, and the two plates of horse meat piled up into a hill were gradually wiped out.

They are all people who practice martial arts, and they can take a big meal once in a while, which is completely acceptable.

During the period, that Liugong also came to express his gratitude to the three of them, especially to Li Yuanfang.

And as time passed, as the sky outside darkened, those residents who went out during the day all came back one by one.

Seeing the three of Li Xin who were boldly eating meat in the lobby, many people showed a little strange look.

Moreover, someone finally noticed the long knives on the waists of the three of them.

He recognized the Jia Mansion mark on the head of the knife.

"So it's from the Jia family, no wonder."

"One of them seems to be at the same table as Yi Shaoxia in the morning. Could there be something inside?"

"Probably not. Yi Shaoxia has already found another place to live. It probably has nothing to do with it. It just happened to be at the same table."

"Hey, you guys followed that Yi man, so you just have something nice to say, right? How did I hear that he got together with three people from Jia's mansion on the way?"

"We got together on the road? Are you serious?"

"Shh, let's talk upstairs."

Most of the guests who came back one after another went directly to the second floor to return to the guest room.

There were only a few here and there, and they chose to sit in the lobby and order a jug of wine to drink.

"It must have been the news leaked by Boy Yi's first subordinates."

Bai Zhantang heard those discussions clearly, and said after telling Li Xin.

"It should be, but it's okay."

It doesn't matter to Li Xin, the relationship with Yi Jifeng is difficult to keep secret, and it is of little use.

After eating meat and drinking wine, Ximei came to clear the table.

She wondered: "Where is Yi Shaoxia? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"He doesn't live here anymore."

Bai Zhantang Road.

"Huh? He separated from you?"

Ximei said slightly disappointed.

"Less him alone, and the money is not less than yours. We will sleep in this lobby, and we will still pay the same amount."

Li Xin took the call.

"It's not about the money."

Ximei muttered.

"What's the matter? The three of us are no worse than him. Isn't it enough for us to stay?"

Bai Zhantang laughed deliberately.

"Hmph, I figured it out, you are on the same side as him! It's still Daxia Li who is the most stable."

Xi Mei glared at Bai Zhantang, then at Li Xin, her hands accelerated, she cleared the table and left.

"This little girl is ignorant, and none of the three of us is better than that Yi boy."

Bai Zhantang shook his head and looked around boredly. There were not many other guests in the lobby, so it seemed not lively.

He doesn't like the atmosphere.

"Brother Bai, if you feel bored, why don't you just go to sleep and sleep more to be more energetic tomorrow."

Li Xin suggested.

"Forget it, I'll sleep after everyone leaves."

After Bai Zhantang finished speaking, he walked to a place against the wall and sat down with his back against the wall.

Li Xin and Li Yuanfang were still sitting at the same table, talking occasionally.

When it was late at night, there were only three people left in the lobby, and they were going to sleep.

But Ximei and Haomei came over holding the quilt.

Needless to say, it was another special treatment for Li Yuanfang, and Li Xinbai's exhibition hall was honored again.

This night I slept more warmly and comfortably.

Waiting steadily until dawn, Bai Zhantang got up, packed himself and his luggage, ate something and set off.

Li Xin and Li Yuanfang continued to stay at the inn.

In the next three days, the two only took time to go around the town a few times to get acquainted with the basic terrain.

Then I stayed in the inn all the time.

Sunbathe during the day, eat, drink and rest in the lobby at night.

Of course, there is no need to mention the convenience of washing and other things, and I go to the stables every day to check on the condition of the three horses, all of which are well taken care of.

During the three days, more and more people from the rivers and lakes gathered in Shuangqi Town.

Yi Jifeng's reputation gradually grew, mainly due to his background and the people he recruited.

And he deliberately looked for an opportunity, found a notorious and capable quack, and easily won and defeated the opponent after the fight.

The reputation is so stable.

But at the same moment, someone played against him.

It was Shangguan Haitang and Gui Hai who made a knife.

In the name of the world's number one village, the two are also recruiting people.

Not only recruiting all kinds of "number one" special Changjiang Lake guests, but also recruiting ordinary thugs.

As a rumor spread in the town that Yi Jifeng had been defeated by Gui Hai, their momentum gradually overwhelmed Yi Jifeng.

It's a pity that the No. [-] village in the world has just been established in the capital, and no one here knows about it.

On the other hand, Mingjian Villa belongs to the old first-class force.

So even if Yi Jifeng was defeated in martial arts, some people were more willing to follow him.

Of course, some of them must deliberately choose the weaker side to follow, trying to use their brains at critical moments.

There are definitely not a few such people, and it is difficult to screen them out in a short time.

In short, in just three days, three forces basically formed in Shuangqi Town.

A group headed by Yi Jifeng, a group headed by Shangguan Haitang, and all the remaining quacks.

Finally, these quacks accounted for the largest proportion.

Some of them are good and some are evil, more of them are right and some are not evil, they are all in the gray area, mixed with dragons and snakes with complex composition, a large number of people pretend to be low-level martial arts, but there must be some who have real skills.

After the three forces gradually formed, they were not stable, and there were frequent frictions, collisions, and fights.

Shangguan Haitang handled these matters well.

Yi Jifeng looked relatively devastated.

"Grandpa said that the town is getting more and more dangerous, maybe it will affect us, what should we do?"

On the afternoon of the third day, Ximei moved a stool and sat in the sun with Li Xin and Li Yuanfang and said.

In fact, it was Liugong who asked her to come over to find out what the two of them had said.

Liu Gong also recognized the knife of Jia's mansion, and the news that the two were from Jia's mansion was also spread.

With this level of identity, plus Li Yuanfang's martial arts demonstrations, he is more reliable, so Liu Gong wants to get close to the two of them in this crisis atmosphere and the stormy situation, so that we can tide over the possible crisis together.

"What else can we do? Soldiers will come to cover you with water and earth. If you feel unsafe, you might as well leave the town temporarily, hide somewhere else, and come back when the turmoil passes."

In the past three days, Li Xin has seen many residents of the town escape.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, everyone understands.

"Our inn is here, what if we leave the business?"

Ximei was a little annoyed, but it was Liugong who was more troubled.

Liugong is usually enough to deal with rogues and even warriors to some extent.

But there are so many people from the rivers and lakes gathered in Shuangqi Town, among them, there are not a few who have higher martial arts than him, so his martial arts is not enough.

It is the most uncomfortable to compare the shortage with the top and the surplus with the bottom.

"Is business more important or life more important?"

Li Xin glanced at her, and said: "If you really don't want to hide, just keep your eyes open and keep an eye on it, and if you make a mistake, run away. According to your grandfather's martial arts, he should be able to protect you from running away."

Bai Zhantang judged Liugong's martial arts level, and overall it was not bad.

If I insist on giving an example, comparing people Li Xin knows is equivalent to Yang Huilan, who is even weaker.

As long as they are not targeted at critical moments, it is no problem to protect two or three people to escape.

"My grandfather actually loves the inn very much. It's his hard work. He said that once we leave, we might be gone when we come back to the inn."

When Ximei said this, she felt a little depressed.

"Your grandfather is confused, you should persuade him more, and leave as soon as you can."

Li Xin was speechless, it turned out that Liugong was stupid.

However, it is also understandable that it is always difficult for elderly people to leave the place where they have been for a long time.

"Didn't you just say that it's okay if you don't hide?"

Ximei said.

"Go as long as you can, don't you understand human language?"

Li Xin gave her a blank look.

"Humph!"

Ximei snorted softly and turned her head away, then turned back quickly and said, "I heard that Yi Shaoxia gathered a lot of people, and there was a pretty girl surnamed Qin among them, isn't it?"

"Yes, there is someone named Qin Sirong, she is now Yi Jifeng's right-hand man."

Li Xin was in the inn and could hear some public information from the residents.

Sitting outside the inn, you can also pay attention to the people passing by on the road and get some news.

"Oh, so is she good at martial arts?"

Ximei asked again.

"Ask yourself, here, aren't they coming here?"

Li Xin gestured towards the east side of the road.

Ximei looked over, and it really was a large group of people headed by Yi Jifeng and Qin Sirong, heading west.

They walk very fast.

"It's not right, there are too many people, it seems that all the people he summoned have been gathered, and they are still going to the west. Could it be that the treasure guard team has arrived?"

Li Xin carefully glanced at the people behind Yi Jifeng. There were about fifty or sixty people, which was already a large scale.

More people than an ordinary small gang.

"Hey, Yi Shaoxia, where are you going?"

Li Xin was about to ask, but Ximei spoke first.

"It's the Star School..."

Yi Jifeng was in a hurry, but he still answered.

However, he stopped short of saying a few words.

The whole team also stopped.

Because the Xingxiu faction he was talking about was appearing ahead and had swaggered into the town.

"Old Immortal Constellation!"

"The law drives the Central Plains!"

"Extremely powerful!"

"Boundless mana!"

There were no more than a dozen people who came, and most of them were still working as coolies carrying the sedan chair, on which sat an old man with white beard and hair.

Walking at the forefront was a 27-year-old young man with a folding fan in his hand, chanting slogans while shaking it.

This slogan is too ostentatious and domineering, and you can tell who is coming as soon as you hear it.

This made everyone's faces change.

"Who is that?"

Ximei was also shocked by this scene, she had never seen such a shameless person.

"Even the old monster Xingxiu has never heard of it?"

Li Xin looked at her speechlessly and got up from the stool at the same time.

Next to him, Li Yuanfang also held the long knife tightly and stood up.

"Uh-huh."

Xi Mei still sat and nodded, waiting for Li Xin to explain.

"Come on, come in with me!"

Li Xin grabbed her arm, dragged her up and walked into the inn, and said to Li Yuanfang, "Yuanfang, come in quickly, let's not get involved."

In fact, Li Yuanfang didn't need him to say, so he naturally followed.

Then there is a series of quick operations such as closing the door, locking it, and pushing the table and stool against the door.

It was Li Xin and Li Yuanfang who were moving.

Ximei was stunned at the side.

"You, what are you doing?"

After the two stopped, she asked blankly.

"Old monster Xingxiu, and his entire Xingxiu sect, all use poison, who dares to watch the fun! A bad guy sprinkles powder on your face, and the wind will directly disfigure you!"

Li Xin threatened.

"Huh? Disfigured!?"

As expected, Ximei was frightened and subconsciously covered her face with her hands.

　Speed ​​up.
