【006】Tiger lying in the barren hills

Shen You naturally knew that he was talking about Su Qingqian and Chen Qiushi, but he would not mention this. Originally, these were matters for the Thousand Sects to Remove Generals, but currently they have not found the Thousand Sects to Remove Generals, so they can only do it themselves. Fei Xing, who spoke first, was at a disadvantage, so he simply waited for the other party to ask for a price, and then sat down to pay back the money.

If he hadn't been in Forty-Nine City, a place where dragons and tigers were hidden, and there were millions of chess pieces left here, those who could speak would have stopped running around, otherwise Shen You wouldn't have to be so forbearing.

Sure enough, Tang Qinghou stopped beating around the bush and said directly to Shen You: "It's not easy to gather eight generals from a thousand sects. Your current team is still too young."

Shen You said nothing and listened quietly to what he would say next.

Obviously, Tang Qinghou did not expect Shen You to be so calm. He paused for a moment and then said: "Anyway, they are not very good people and you are young. It is better to choose again. Keeping them is also a burden."

Shen You understood that Tang Qinghou felt that he was too calm and began to put pressure on him. However, he did not mention how to exchange. Instead, he thought in reverse and directly told Shen You to let him give up these people.

Obviously he knew that Shen You would never give up, and the reason why he said this was just to gain more bargaining chips.

"It's useless if you ask for that thing. One is indispensable, unless what you are missing now is the two pieces in my hand."

Shen You deliberately pointed out the two jade pieces in his hand just to see how much the other party knew about him. So far, no one knew that he already had six of the eight jade pieces in his hand, including Ning Yutang. He didn't tell the truth when he was betting.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Baixiang spoke slowly from the side: "You have to eat food one bite at a time. No one can become fat after eating one bite!"

In contrast to Shen You's calm and calm tit-for-tat here, Bai Qian went extremely smoothly. After all, he has been running in the Jianghu for many years. Although he has not been to the Four-Nine City for a long time, he still has an unusual understanding of where the Jianghu people like to gather.

In the old days, most of the monkey performers from the three religions and nine streams gathered under the overpass. Although it is not as grand as it was back then, the eyes of all the gangs are still concentrated here.

The overpass of Sijiucheng was originally the place where the emperor had to pass from the Zhengyang Gate of the palace to the two altars for worship. There was an east-west river. In order to ensure the passage, a white marble single-hole high arch bridge was built to connect to the "imperial road" , because the emperor was called the Son of Heaven, the bridge that the Emperor walked on became an overpass. Later, performers all hit it there. Although the overpass is long gone now, and the river is gradually drying up. But habitually Many Jianghu people can still gather here.

Speaking of gangs, there are some differences. Gangs are groups, with no restrictions on members. Even the Jiang family members who fled the mainland to the island were once members of the Youth Gang when they were in the mainland. The factions are relatively single, such as Shaolin, Disciples of the Maoshan sect all believe in transmission from generation to generation and worship one ancestor. All of them are brothers and sisters. As for the sect, it is a combination of professions, such as Qianmen, such as Li Shennong's lineage in Shencheng. Health gate.

Although there are fewer famous gangsters in Forty-Nine City, it does not mean that no one continues to run gangs. Even the street performers and Dali Pills back then have their own inheritance. However, with the changes in society, many people's craftsmanship has also changed. It's just a gradual improvement.

For example, the beggars in those days might just have a bowl and wait for others to give them alms, and they could survive by giving them a meal. Even the most vicious people would just go to the door of the store and take advantage of the opening time every day to ask for the reward. If the other party didn't give it, Then gather a group of beggars there, specifically to affect his business, and they will not leave even if they live or die.

But today's beggars have long since ceased to satisfy their original goal of asking for food. They just ask for money. The most vicious people no longer gather in groups to oppress merchants and ask them for money. Instead, they raise a group of disabled people or directly cut off the hands and feet of young children. Force them to beg and form a complete industrial chain.

Bai Qian put on the maroon human skin mask that Shen You had used back then. He bought a bag of fried peanuts and chewed them as he walked. His eyes wandered around the crowd. Unknowingly, it was already noon. The characteristic of city people being able to talk and talk was also fully revealed at this time.

Looking at the teahouses and hotels rising next to them, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but think of the famous people here back then, but he didn't know where the inheritance was now.

Although it was already early winter, the warm sunshine at noon still made people feel extremely comfortable. Bai Qianqian chewed peanuts and arrived at a teahouse. After ordering a pot of tea, he sat next to him and watched the people in the teahouse.

This teahouse is not as high-end as the 'One Ladle Drink' that Shen You went to. It only has one floor. To put it bluntly, it is more like a distribution center for various religions and streams, where you can inquire about some news from the world.

The lecturer, Dr. Tea, rang his ruler and talked about Yue Wumu's great breakthrough in the art of gold. The lecturer was wearing a robe and a mandarin jacket. If he had left his hair in braids, some people would have thought he was an old man from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Bai Qianqian sat there and squinted at Dr. Tea, recalling the rich Cao Mazi who lived by mouth on the bridge back then, the founder of cross talk, Zhu Shaowen, who was nicknamed "Be Not Afraid of Poverty". Although Dr. Tea in front of him had a few He has the same basic skills, but he is still far behind them.

Sitting at the table next to him were two young people. It seemed that they were waiting for someone. When Bai Qian had just finished a bowl of tea, the person the young people were waiting for also came. Bai Qian saw this. The way a man in his forties walks shows that he must be a legacy of the handlebar-style movement of the past.

During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, a Frenchman who stayed in Sijiucheng felt that rickshaws were convenient, so he introduced rickshaws from Japan. During the Republic of China, rickshaws achieved great development and were used in Sijiucheng, Shencheng, and Tianjin at that time. Such big cities have been vigorously promoted, and many car dealerships have emerged as the times require. With the emergence of car dealerships, contradictions within the industry have also become prominent. In order to coordinate the contradictions within the various car dealerships, the handlebar type dealerships have also emerged. It came into being.

As Taizu entered Sijiu City, rickshaws were gradually outlawed. Although taxis gradually became more popular, the rules for entering the industry have not necessarily changed. The formal inheritance begins with Zha Mabu, so the walking posture is also very obvious.

Obviously, the two young men wanted something from this man. When they saw the man come in, one of them pulled up a stool and the other filled him with tea. The slightly fatter one said with a flattering look on his face: "Brother Jiaolong, my uncle asked me I'm here to come to you. How about you help my two brothers coordinate and find a place so we can do something?"

The man named Brother Jiaolong glanced at him and said, "Why, is this what your uncle meant?"

"No, no, my uncle said that you would arrange for someone to follow us for a few years, and then let us do it by ourselves. We two brothers are not the same, and we are afraid that you will owe someone a favor, so why don't we want to do it ourselves?"

Brother Jiaolong snorted and said: "Why, I think my wings are hard enough! I'm not telling you, just your two brushes, you can't even get a hot one in Jinmen, let alone run to

Sijiucheng, do you think this is the suburb of your Jinmen side?"

Maybe they thought Brother Jiaolong's words were a bit unpleasant, or the two young men just heard the introducer say that they had never verified Brother Jiaolong's deeds. Their faces immediately changed, and the fat man also said in a somewhat unkind tone:

"Brother Jiaolong, we came here because of my uncle's instructions. You have made your debut as a brother early, but you can't ignore your brothers like this, right? We just want to ask you for a way out, and we won't bother you with the follow-up matters.

!”

Maybe he felt that what he said was a bit harsh. After hearing this, Brother Jiaolong softened his tone and said: "Your uncle is senior, he can see it, let alone you, even I may not be able to see it. Honestly, according to the

Do what your uncle says, and if nothing else, do you know why I called you here today?"

Hundreds of people were sitting around, drinking tea slowly. This kind of teahouse in the old world looked no different from ordinary people, and people from all walks of life gathered there.

Seeing the two young men shaking their heads, Brother Jiaolong said in a low voice: "This place looks like an ordinary teahouse, but in fact people from all walks of life are here. Look at the middle-aged man in the southeast corner.

?”

Although he lowered his voice, he could still hear it after Bai Qian listened carefully. Immediately as he said it, Bai Qian saw the strong man in the corner. Although his clothes were ordinary, he looked very clean and tidy.

.

At this time, Brother Jiaolong's words reached his ears again. Let me tell you: "That guy's master was Mr. Shen who practiced qigong and wrestling under the overpass. He smashed bricks on his temples and pressed the stone millstone on his temples.

If you hit the chest with a hammer and smash a big boulder, he has a serious inheritance, but he still stays in a teahouse. You think pulling a pole is so easy, but it is difficult for today's craftsmen!"

Brother Jiaolong looked distressed. Seeing that the two young men were slightly ashamed, he then pointed at the old man sitting not far from the entrance and said: "Did you see that master, what I just told you

The masters of the strong men are on par with each other. They are good at playing with bears. They can do a lot of tricks with thirteen bowls on their heads. Do you really think you can stand up a pole just by saying it?"

Bai Qianqian, who was nearby, heard that the descendants of several famous figures from Tianqiao were gathered in this teahouse. He immediately walked to the front, took advantage of Dr. Tea's lecture and took a break, clasped his fists and asked: "Brother, do you know the word Qian?"

Order?"

Although no one has put together the Qian Zi Ling for hundreds of years, it does not mean that people who run around in the world do not know the Qian Zi Ling. Sure enough, after hearing Bai Qian talk about it, the voices of the people around him became obviously quiet.

Bai Qianqian seemed to be very satisfied with the effect, and dropped another bombshell, saying to Dr. Tea: "I met two people with Sichuan accent yesterday, and I heard them say that they came to Sijiucheng to bring a few people with them.

Mei Qian ordered me to go back."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and seemed to be talking to himself: "What is this Qianzi Ling? I took a few of them back with me. Is it really that rare?"
