Chapter 469 Chapter 9: The Three Heroes Meet Again

"The lock and key of the two capitals go to both places, the first pass of the Great Wall." Shanhaiguan is located in the "throat of Liao Ji" between the mountains and the sea, a key place, and an important military town in the east of the Great Wall. During the Warring States Period, in order to resist the invasion of foreign invaders, countries successively built border walls on their national borders. After Qin unified the world, they connected the border walls of other countries, repaired and expanded them, and formed the Great Wall stretching thousands of miles from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east.Later Han, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty continued to build towers.

Up to the Sui Dynasty, Shanhaiguan had not yet completed the pattern of mutual protection of the city and the city at its peak, but it had become a large-scale customs. Under the current situation where the Turkic people's momentum is growing, Shanhaiguan has lost its military significance, but it is still an election for both inside and outside the pass. Arteries and distribution points for material trade. The ancient city is surrounded by mountains and the sea, only 15 miles away from the end of Bohai Bay in the east, and thousands of mountains overlap in the north. Building defense system.

Shanhai County complies with an irregular square pattern that is long from north to south and short from northwest to northwest. It is surrounded by a city wall and opened with four gates. Lining. Shops are concentrated beside the rain on Shizi Street, with shops in front and residences in the back, and most of the houses are courtyard houses.However, regardless of the shops and houses, they are all built with more durable building materials such as blue bricks, gray tiles and white stones. But the biggest feature is the mixed situation of Han and Yi.Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ren Jun rode their horses slowly for half the street, and encountered more foreigners than Han people.And the folk customs are strong, and all the people who come and go have weapons and bows with them. There are fewer pedestrians and more horses. Therefore, there are horse stalls outside the shops for people to tie their horses.

After arriving at Shanhai County, everyone deeply understood the reason why Du Xing was able to dominate the place where the emperor was far away from the mountains; under the situation that the foreign tribe was powerful and the natives were weak, Gao Zhandao could not control the last county in northern Xinjiang, Don't even dare to control it.There are no Yan soldiers on the street, and there is no need to pay taxes to enter the city.Only the strong can be king here, and only the most powerful forces can maintain the loose and unwritten rules and order here. Everything acts according to the rules of the world. Therefore, local tycoons like Du Xing who maintain influence both outside and inside the customs, Beginning to have the power to be the master of the house.

Shanhai County is more lively and prosperous than Yuyang.Ren Jun smiled and pointed to the front: "There!" The eyes of the two followed his instructions and landed on the golden lacquered signboard with the three characters "Yi Shenglong" protruding horizontally, knowing that it was the branch opened by Zhai Jiao. Ren Jun's face changed: "There is no reason, why did you close the door so early?" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also saw that the door of the shop was sealed airtight by a wooden fence.They rushed over in one breath, and it was still half an hour before the sun set.

The three of them speeded up to the front of the shop, and saw a copybook pasted on the wooden fence, with four unexpected big blood-red characters written "Closed and closed shop". Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not puzzled, not to mention that Zhai Jiao's branch here will not suddenly close down, even if it is true, the branch staff will explain it tactfully in the notice, and will not say "closed" or "closed shop" Such words show that things are extremely unusual. Ren Jun jumped off his horse and said in a panic, "I'll look for them when I get there." After that, he left quickly.

Kou Zhong looked at it for a while, and said: "This notice was posted only today, and the ink is still fresh." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Du Xing knew we were here, so he gave us a meeting gift as a prestige to dismount." Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "Du Xing's only source of information is Xu Kaishan's Cui Wang. This move is unwise, and it is enough to expose his relationship with the wolf thief. It can be seen that he had no choice but to find justice under the attack of anger. People from the Shenglong branch came to vent their anger and test our reactions at the same time. Master Ling thinks how we should handle this matter."

Xu Ziling said: "Du Xing took all the people in the branch as hostages, so that we can be wary. If we act rashly, we will fall into his hands. We should first find out his position here, and then formulate a strategy for action. Because On the surface, Du Xing is pretending to be a hero who incarnates justice and upholds justice, and he will not openly use swords and guns in full view of the public." Ren Jun came back angrily at this time, and said: "All the things inside have been smashed, and there is red paint everywhere, and no one is missing. Let me ask the people in the nearby shops to see what happened."

Kou Zhong smiled and said: "If you lose your sense of control when something happens, it will only make things worse. It is said that fierce tigers are not as good as local worms, now we should keep Jing Zhongyue's calm, come on, find a decent hotel and settle down first." After passing through several hotels in a row, the shop assistants who were waiting outside the door saw the three people coming, and immediately put up the sign of "full occupancy" to invite them to shut the door. Ren Jun was so angry that he almost used a knife to kill and set fire, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling laughed it off.

Ren Jun said angrily: "Let's go to Jing Kang, he has a branch office here." Jing Kang is the leader of the Saimo Gang in the Three Gangs and One Association, and has always had a little friendship with Dou Jiande, so Zhai Jiao's territory here is under his care. Kou Zhong sighed: "Xiao Jun, you are still young, Jing Kang will never provoke a strong enemy like Du Xing because of the eldest lady's affairs. We don't need to make it difficult for Lao Jing to be around." Xu Ziling led the horse and galloped slowly towards the south gate, saying: "There is no place to keep people here, there is no place to keep people. Du Xing tested us, why don't we make a counter-test and see if he will just watch us leave the county."

Kou Zhong smiled and said: "For God's sake, he has the guts to stop us. I'm sure that since we came suddenly, he shouldn't be able to muster enough power to kill us in such a hurry, so he took Yisheng captive. It is a delaying tactic for a few people in the Long branch." Ren Jundao: "If they are killed because of this, the eldest lady will be very sad." Xu Ziling said: "So we need to find out the basis of Du Xing's arrangement, for example, who is the person he loves the most, we take him into our hands, and then exchange hostages, then Du Xing will not give in." Kou Zhong laughed loudly and said: "Du Xing wants to play tricks with us, I'm afraid that he will have to reincarnate to have a chance." These words not only named names, but also deliberately made it loud and public, which immediately aroused the eyes of pedestrians in a hurry on the street. Ren Jun aroused the arrogance of the two, and his courage suddenly increased, and he shouted: "Du Xing is just a coward, he can only do some timid behavior, so dare to provoke the two gentlemen." Everyone who came and went turned pale when they heard that Du Xing was the veritable overlord of this place, who would dare to openly mess with his beard. Kou Zhong shouted violently: "If Du Xing is hiding nearby, get out and see me." The sound spread far away, overshadowing the voices of people on the long street, and even the adjacent streets and alleys were clear, causing a commotion immediately. Suddenly, a long-lost familiar voice came from the restaurant on the left: "What kind of a piece of shit is Du Xing to make the young commander who is famous at home and abroad so angry?" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's tiger bodies trembled violently, revealing unbelievable expressions. Looking at the reputation, one of them stepped out of the restaurant. The majestic body was as straight as a gun, with a long sword on its back, and the outline was as perfect as a statue of Dali. There was a sunny smile on his long and narrow face, and he had the domineering spirit of ruling the world. Who else could it be if he hadn't seen him for a long time, Ba Fenghan. Kou Zhong made a somersault, fell off the saddle, jumped forward and hugged Ba Fenghan firmly, the two of them laughed loudly at the same time, their emotions were intense, and they were extremely joyous.Who would have thought that Ba Fenghan, who went to practice outside the Great Wall, would appear here. Xu Ziling smiled and said to Ren Jun: "This is Ba Fenghan." After saying that, he got off his horse and walked towards the two people who were embracing each other. Ren Jun's heart was full of huge waves, Ba Fenghan can be said to be the most famous martial arts master at home and abroad except "Wu Zun" Bi Xuan, hidden as the most outstanding martial arts master outside the domain after Bi Xuan, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling Both are the most outstanding rising stars of the new generation at home and abroad.Who can predict what earth-shattering events will happen when these three people get together again? Kou Zhong's voice came back and said: "Xiao Jun, tie up the horse, let's have a good drink before doing other fucking things." Ren Jun came to his senses, quickly dismounted his horse, and waited on the horse. The number of onlookers on the street continued unabated. Of course, he only dared to hide and watch from a distance. Everyone knew that Kou Zhong and the others were good men and women, but now they were straightforward. Openly declaring war on Duchenne will naturally lead to good dramas one after another. When Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan embraced each other, all the guests, staff and boss in the restaurant slipped out through the back door in unison to avoid harming Chi Yu. Ba Fenghan moved away a little, grabbed Xu Ziling's shoulders with both hands, and looked at Kou Zhong who was standing aside, with a frightening look in his mouth, he shouted: "Okay, the two of you have made another breakthrough in your cultivation. It's gratifying." Kou Zhong said excitedly: "You seem to be not bad at all. With your spirit in front of you, maybe the two of us together will still be unable to surround you, ha!" Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said, "Little brother hasn't heard such funny words for a long time." His eyes fell on Ren Jun, and he smiled and said: "This little brother is quite good, and his future is limitless." Receiving Ba Fenghan's praise, Ren Jun's whole body boiled with blood, he bowed to the ground respectfully and said: "It's all thanks to the guidance and promotion of Zhong Yeling, Ren Jun pays homage to Ba Ye." Ba Fenghan let go of Xu Ziling's hand, put his hands on the shoulders of the two, walked towards the restaurant door, and said happily: "Those two horses should be Gaochang's first-class war horses, you cheated them back from there, if you didn't meet After I leave the customs, the guarantee will be stolen by someone." Ren Jun deeply felt the sincere feelings between the three of them, his heart became hot, and he followed the three of them into the shop without paying attention to the eyes of the bystanders. Since all the shopkeepers in charge of serving food and beverages in the store escaped cleanly, Ren Jun had to serve both the boss and the waiter, serving the three of them so that they could talk about their separation. After three cups of wine, Kou Zhong had forgotten about Du Xing and said: "My boy, I've come here unexpectedly, I just heard the news that you killed a few thieves in Chang'an earlier, and I saw you here today. " Ba Fenghan couldn't maintain his usual cold and arrogant demeanor in front of the two of them, so he said with a smile: "I am here to wait for you two." Xu Ziling wondered: "How did Brother Fenghan know that we came to Shanhaiguan?" Ba Fenghan said: "You can know the affairs of the world without going out, not to mention that I am a homeless person who wanders all over the world. In an unintentional situation, I learned that Xieli and Khitan's Brother Ku formed an alliance. Lead you out of the customs and put you to death. The little brother is fine anyway, and he wants to see Du Xing's 'Overlord Axe', so he stopped by to meet you for a drink and chat, and if he doesn't hit the head, he will kill Du Xing." Kou Zhong laughed heartily and said, "Good boy! I respect you." The three of them suddenly raised their bowls to drink, and Ren Jun presented a plate of hot beef. The three of them would be polite and ate the unexpected free dinner.As night fell, most of the people on the street dispersed when they saw that Du Xing still hadn't responded. Suddenly Kou Zhong was startled and said to Ba Fenghan in Turkic dialect: "How is your old lover?" Ba Fenghan was shocked, and said, "What are you talking about?" Kou Zhong blushed and said awkwardly, "Did I speak incorrectly?" Ba Fenghan laughed and said, "I'm only teasing you, who taught you how to speak? The pronunciation can be considered quite good, but it still needs to be greatly improved." Kou Zhong shouted, "Xiaojun, you also said that the Turkic dialect you taught us can fool the Turkic people." Ren Jun panicked and said, "I'm exaggerating, please don't take offense, Mr. Zhong." The three of them almost burst out laughing when they heard this, but for some reason, their ability to hold back laughter immediately regressed sharply after the reunion. Ren Jun came to the table and said in a low voice, "Maybe Du Xing is here. There are no pedestrians outside, and there is not a single person." Kou Zhong turned his head and glanced out, said: "Go outside and bring the horse into the shop, and then check if there is any fodder inside? Feeding the horse is more important than killing Du Xing." Ren Jun was ordered to go up. Ba Fenghan didn't pay attention to Du Xing at all, and said in a leisurely manner: "Our Turkic language is multi-syllable, divided into tense vowels and loose vowels, and tense refers to tightening and relaxing the pharyngeal muscles. Loose vowels, only when you say it can you have both form and spirit." Kou Zhong said: "Let's take you as our teacher instead." Ba Fenghan said: "Frankly speaking, my trip to Shanhaiguan today is just a side trip. The real destination is Longquan Mansion." Xu Ziling said: "Brother Feng Han is going to participate in the founding ceremony of the Jie Kingdom." A cruel smile floated from the corner of Ba Fenghan's mouth, imitating Kou Zhong's tone and said: "The founding of the Ziting is related to someone's affair. Come to sacrifice the sword. If Bi Xuanxiao rewards the face, it would be the most ideal." Kou Zhongxi said: "We are going to see it." Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "It must be a joy in life to be able to ride side by side with the two of you on the Hanwai prairie. What is the quarrel between you and Du Xing?" Xu Ziling took the opportunity to ask: "Have you ever heard of Daming Zunjiao?" Ba Fenghan was stunned and said: "What is the relationship between Du Xing and Daming Zunjiao? I heard that this is a mysterious sect passed from Persia. It prospered after being passed to Huihe, and gradually deteriorated after combining with an evil sect in Huihe. The people in the sect are not only good at martial arts, but also proficient in astronomy and the art of using poison, not many people dare to provoke them. As for who the leader of the sect is, I have no idea." Kou Zhong was about to speak, when a voice came from outside: "The leader of the Beiba Clan, Du Xing, please see me, Brother Kou, Brother Xu, can you let someone Du come in and talk." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling heard you look at me, how could they expect "Overlord" Du Xing to be so courteous.
