Chapter 122 What I learned in the provincial capital, breaking through Mingjin(2/3)
Gu Qingshan also asked Ma Wencai to help find the secret recipe for practice.
For Gu Qingshan to find this kind of thing by himself, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, for a local snake like Ma Wencai, the problem was not that big, so he agreed immediately.
…
This morning,
Gu Qingshan is practicing boxing in the backyard of the inn.
suddenly,
He punched out, and there were bursts of "crackling" sounds in his arm, and a surge of energy and blood came from his veins.
A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Qingshan's eyes,
Immediately, he performed the whole set of Mojia Boxing again. The more he performed, the smoother and smoother he became.
Artest on the side also noticed Gu Qingshan's situation. When Gu Qingshan withdrew his fist, he was very surprised and said: "Brother, have you been promoted to Mingjin?"
Gu Qingshan smiled slightly, nodded, and then glanced at the system page:
Name: Gu Qingshan
Talent: Martial Arts Genius
Props: scapegoat martial arts simulator
Combat strength:18-19
Achievements: Prison Overlord (Completed) The Strongest Undercover (Completed) King of the Night (Completed)
Overlord of one party (5%)
…
Sure enough, his combat effectiveness also fluctuated.
However, now that he has entered Mingjin for the first time, his combat power only increases a little when he explodes.
…
Artai's eyes were full of envy and he said: "Oh, it's just a pity that the sword technique my master passed on to me actually also had internal skills. However, I was disobedient at the time and insisted on doing black boxing. Master became angry.
They kicked me out of the school because I couldn’t learn the internal method!”
Gu Qingshan patted Artai on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find your inner wisdom in the future."
"Okay, thank you big brother."
Just then,
A guard came in and announced that Marvin was here.
Gu Qingshan immediately took Atai out.
The inn was somewhat empty and deserted. Mr. Huang and others had already gone to negotiate with the Ma family, so there were only three or four people left in the inn.
"Brother Gu!"
Ma Wencai walked in with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Good news, I found a seller in the black market over on Sheep Head Street, and he has a secret recipe for practice. I asked about that person's ancestor who was a great Anjin martial artist.
However, now that the family has fallen into decline, and has been affected by the turmoil during this period, the business can no longer continue. I am planning to move out of Cangzhou City. I plan to use the secret recipe in exchange for some money. The secret recipe is of good quality and will be useful during the Ming Dynasty.
Yes, but when it comes to dark energy, the effect is not very great, but it’s still okay.”
Gu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked: "How do you say the price?"
"Interview." Ma Wencai said: "The other party said that if he really wanted it, he would go to the black market for an interview tonight. This kind of thing must be expensive. That person definitely didn't dare to show up. He must be looking for a middleman in the black market.
."
"Then go!" Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have heard that there is a black market in the provincial capital, and I have always wanted to see it!"
Ma Wencai smiled and said: "Actually, this black market is just a name, and it is not as evil as the legend. There are no less than ten black markets in Cangzhou City. They are actually trading markets jointly established by some big forces.
Because there are many things that ordinary people dare not sell casually, and it is inconvenient to sell them, especially some rare and valuable things. Therefore, the big forces jointly set up a black market, which is a hidden trading market. It is just that ordinary people cannot sell it at all.
It is out of reach, so it is spread more and more evil.
There are black markets in many places you visit these days."
Gu Qingshan was a little stunned.
Ma Wencai explained: "The black market is not a designated territory market, but a group of people who either have backgrounds or connections. When they are combined, that is the black market. Maybe someone is trading in a certain restaurant today, or maybe someone is trading in a certain restaurant today.
At the same time, there was also trading in another gambling house. The black market refers to a circle, not a real market. Therefore, since most people can’t find it, the black market is rumored to be extremely evil!"
Gu Qingshan: "..."
Sure enough, I learned a lot!
…
Arriving at Cangzhou City at night,
It's quite different from the daytime, a lot of chaos.
Especially when Gu Qingshan followed Ma Wencai to some places where there were many gangs, he realized that what he saw a few days ago was really just an appearance.
It is undeniable that the order in Cangzhou City is much better than that in Beicang City, but it is not as obvious as it appears during the day. As soon as night falls, gang members begin to become active in night markets everywhere, leading soldiers
More and more people are taking to the streets.
"There are actually many gangs in Cangzhou City, but after all, there are seven or eight six-door thousand-household offices, as well as the North and South Town Fusi, and the Inspection Department, so it is relatively stable during the day. However, this
It’s a special time.”
Along the way, Ma Wencai chatted with Gu Qingshan.
"The various forces and the Six Gates have reached an unwritten rule. Therefore, few gang members will do things during the day, and they often fight for territory with weapons. However, it is basically at night." Ma Wencai said.
: "However, there is one thing that is different from Beicang County. Brother Gu, you should also pay attention to it."
"Which point?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Hand crossbows, bows and arrows," Ma Wencai said: "Cangzhou City has very strict control over hand crossbows and bows. Generally, gangs try not to use these things. If they are found out, it will be troublesome, especially now that the army is stationed everywhere."
Gu Qingshan nodded,
He also knew this, so they didn't bring hand crossbows when they came to Cangzhou City. Of course, there were checkpoints everywhere on the way here, so it was basically impossible for them to successfully enter the city with hand crossbows.
Not to mention Cangzhou City, even Beicang City has relatively strict control over crossbows and bows. For a gang as big as the Tianying Gang, there are only two to three hundred crossbows in total.
Gu Qingshan originally wanted to equip his house with hand crossbows, but he put a lot of effort into it. In the end, he only managed to get a dozen hand crossbows and a few divine arm crossbows. This was something that Gao Bin and his family took risks to do.
Arrived.
In the noisy night market,
Ma Wencai brought two guards, while Gu Qingshan only brought Artai. The group of five people walked through the street. Finally, Gu Qingshan followed Ma Wencai to a gambling house.
"This gambling house is the venue of the Sanyan Gang," Ma Wencai said: "The Sanyan Gang is the most famous gang in Cangzhou City. Twenty or thirty streets around Yangtou Street are their territory.
Mainly engaged in underground boxing gyms.”
After hearing what Ma Wencai said about the underground boxing gym, Gu Qingshan glanced at Artest, because Artest was originally a boxer in Cangzhou City.
Artest said: "I have never boxed in the Sanyan Gang. I used to box in the Tiansheng Gang."
When Ma Wencai heard this, he was surprised and said: "Brother Artest ever boxed in Tiansheng Gang?"
Artest nodded.
Ma Wencai said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I heard that the Sanyan Gang and the Tiansheng Gang seem to be fighting for territory recently, and it's getting a bit big!"
Artest said: "I have nothing to do with the Tiansheng Gang for a long time."
"That's good." Ma Wencai said: "After all, this place is not like Beicang City. It is easy to cause unnecessary troubles by getting involved in local gang affairs. Moreover, I heard that the family behind the Sanyan Gang seems to have failed in the game.
The Sanyan Gang has lost its backer and is in big trouble!"
A few people chatted while walking, and soon came to a hall upstairs.
This hall is very large, with rows of shelves displayed inside, filled with all kinds of things, including porcelain, books, etc., but it is relatively deserted, with only a few people selecting.
A middle-aged man came over, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ma, the fifth master is waiting for you inside."
Ma Wencai nodded and led Gu Qingshan and his party to the door of a room. The middle-aged man said with a shameful face: "Master Ma, I'm so sorry. According to the rules of the Fifth Master, only you and the buyer can go in."
."
Ma Wencai nodded towards Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan immediately asked Atai to wait outside the door, and then he followed Ma Wencai into the room.
In this room, which was a little dark, a short and fat old man was sitting behind the table, tinkering with a gadget.
Ma Wencai introduced Gu Qingshan softly,
That man's name is Wang Wu, and he is an uncle-level figure from the Sanyan Gang. He has a high status and reputation in the world, and is also one of the core figures in the black market circle in this area.
Gu Qingshan took a look at Wang Wu’s personal information:
Character: Wang Wu
