Immediately when these words came out, countless people around looked over with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Even Zhou Xianming blushed at this moment, and then retreated from the boat embarrassingly.

The old bustard looked at Zhou Xianming's back and sneered, "You can't see these old men who are on board, each of them has a wealth of wealth, rich clothes, rich clothes, sweet and fat, and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks like you don't urinate and take care of themselves. , nonsense, just thinking about swan farts, take it early and take it easy..."

Zhou Xianming didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that the bustard would call some turtles to beat him up, but he kept muttering.

"...If you have to ask for five hundred Wen, can I stay for half an hour with three hundred Wen? You don't have any business sense at all, you old bustard won't be able to eat four dishes in your lifetime."

After so many days in Linjiang City, the few taels of silver borrowed from Zhao Qingmei, a novice in Hanwen, even Zhou Xianming spent a lot of money during the period of "saving food and expenses", and now he only has five hundred For Wen Qian, we have to wait until tomorrow when the list is published to pay the boat fare back to Yuzhou City.

"Hey."

Zhou Xianming walked along the lake shaking his head, seeing the painting boat that was close at hand but couldn't get on it, he couldn't help but sighed, "The longest distance in the world is the distance between these two hundred coins."

After wandering for half an hour, the night wind was bitingly cold, making his nose runny and his legs trembling, and then reluctantly returned to his residence.

In order to save some money, Zhou Xianming did not live in an inn, but a family in a poor kiln in Linjiang City.

There is only one old man in the family, and the neighbors call him the old man Bai. The old man Bai has two sons, both of whom were conscripted to the border Wuguan, but now there is only one [-]-year-old granddaughter left in the family.

"Mr. Zhou, are you back?" Old Bai couldn't help asking when he saw Zhou Xianming who was tiptoing back at night.

"I'm back. I held a poetry meeting with some friends just now, but I came back a bit late." Zhou Xianming laughed dryly.

The old man Bai couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhou is really a busy person, this time Qiu Wei will definitely be able to go to high school, the old man cooked a few eggs, Xiaohuan's girl ate two, the old man also ate one, and no one ate the other two, Mr. Zhou, wait a moment..."

"no need....."

Just as Zhou Xianming was about to refuse, old man Sun approached the house, took out two boiled eggs and walked out, and then put them in Zhou Xianming's hands.

"Mr. Zhou, take it and eat it. It's still hot in the pot." The white old man said with a simple and honest smile.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Xianming looked at the boiled egg in his hand gratefully and said.

The old man Bai's family lived in a poor kiln, and they were not rich in food and clothing. They lived on the hard money that the old man earned from selling fried whitebait in the market.

"I won't bother Mr. Zhou anymore."

After the old man finished speaking, he walked towards the house.

"Bai Lao, you will definitely be able to eat eight dishes in the rest of your life."

Zhou Xianming looked at the old man's back, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, and then returned to his room.

In a dilapidated house, there was only one bed and one table, and the windows were still blocked by rags. When the wind was strong, they could not be blocked at all, and they even whistled.

After eating two eggs, Zhou Xianming drank a large glass of water, then sat at the table, lit a candle, and took out a map from his pocket.

The mountains, rivers, and roads on the map are all clearly marked, and there are even special annotations in some places.

Centered on the Nine Daoes of Great Yan and the Thirteenth Mansions of the State of Zhao, there are many passes and commercial roads. The surrounding area radiates the Dongluo Desert, the Nanban Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Pure Land of Three Thousand Buddhas, the vast and boundless grasslands, and countless islands in the East China Sea.

The map is so detailed that it is rare in the world.

"Snakes swallow dragons, the situation is turbulent, this big swallow..."

Zhou Xianming took a light breath, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

He had studied ancient books and discovered a law, prosperity and decline. When the dynasty reaches a certain peak, it will decline. This is an inevitable law and no one can stop it.

Now Dayan and Zhao Guo have been developing peacefully for decades, and the forces of all parties are constantly seeking development and growth.

There is contention in silence, and so is the general trend of the world.

The Kingdom of Yan occupied the land of Longxing, which was the ancient capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were millions of people in armor and strong soldiers, but Wu was struggling to guard the border. It seemed to have a deep foundation, but it was surrounded by enemies.

In the northeast, there is the extremely powerful Zhao State; in the south, there are the alien races of the Southern Barbarians who sit on hundreds of thousands of mountains; in the west, there is the Pure Land of the Western Regions;

Throughout the ages, the grasslands have been difficult to unify. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty did not completely conquer the grasslands, but now the grasslands have been unified after the separation of the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom, and have been recuperating for 20 years.

This tiger is ready to move, it has sharpened its claws and teeth for so long, and it wants to eat people as soon as it opens its mouth. It depends on who this tiger is going to eat.

Zhao Guo and Yan Guo have conquered each other for decades, and the grievances and grievances have run deep, almost in the same situation.

The state of the country is like this, but today's Dayan Temple is also fighting openly and secretly. Confucianism, eunuchs, and the military are all fighting for power and profit, and the emperor is the emperor.

The rivers and lakes under the temple are even more unfathomable, the demon sect is coming, and Buddhism is also about to go east. The Zhenyi Sect is not a local snake, but a powerful dragon, how can he turn a blind eye.

The occasion of the situation, the pattern of the world, the power of the country, the temples and the rivers and lakes, all affect the whole body.

"It is difficult for the world to have a unified day..."

Under the faint candlelight, Zhou Xianming looked at the map in his hand. After a long time, he couldn't help shaking his head and talking to himself.

After flipping through the map for a while, Zhou Xianming felt a little sleepy, and then fell asleep on the wooden bed.

The night was like water, and I didn't know how long I slept, but the sound of arguing came from my ears.

"No, I don't want to go with you!"

"Liu Butcher, all the money owed to you has been paid back. Just let the little old man's granddaughter go."

........

Zhou Xianming opened his eyes, then got up and walked out wearing a coat.

I saw the dilapidated courtyard door wide open, and a fat man with a swollen face was constantly pulling a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. The girl was holding on to the wooden door with both hands, but how could her strength be comparable to that fat man? man.

The white old man was anxious like a swarming ant, neither daring to reach out to stop him, nor daring to scold and curse.

"Old man Bai, what you pay back is only the principal, and interest? That's the rule."

Butcher Liu snorted coldly, "If you don't pay back the interest today, I will take this little girl Baihuan away."

"Grandpa, save me, save me..."

When Bai Huan heard this, he immediately became anxious.

This butcher Liu is not a good person. It is said that he has colluded with the gangsters of the Sanhu Gang and specializes in selling women and children.

"thump!"

When the old man heard this, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, "Liu Butcher, let me pay for the interest for a few days..."

"It doesn't matter how long I give you."

Butcher Liu kicked the old man over, kicking the old man a foot away, "When will you make up for the fried whitebait, you old bastard?"

The white old man rolled on the ground and punched twice, his nose collided with the ground, blood flowed immediately.

"Grandpa!"

Seeing this, Bai Huan hurriedly shouted.

"Stop yelling, if you yell again, I'll beat old man Bai to death."

Butcher Liu grabbed Baihuan's arm and walked towards the door.

The surrounding neighbors also heard the cold sound, and they poked their heads out. When they saw Liu Tuhu's face, everyone shrank their heads subconsciously.

This butcher Liu is a well-known bully. He often lends money to the poor nearby. He paid one cent of the interest in black and white in advance, but in the end he would ask for three cents more. hand it over.

He claimed that his uncle was the official who wrote the yamen, and Chu Huai's confidant.

Who is Chu Huai? He is the son of Chu Nanying, the master of Jiangnan Taoism. Too presumptuous.

And Chu Huaiqiru is a dude, ignorant and inexperienced, everyone in Jiangnan Road knows everyone, and the people in Linjiang City even jokingly call him Huahua Taisui.

If you meet a woman from a good family that you like on the street, you will inquire about the woman's background, and then secretly tie the woman back to your own courtyard near the lake, play with it wantonly, and have fun. If the woman's husband finds her, He will even tease and play face to face, seeking pleasure.

In the end, the husband and wife will be killed and buried in the Linhu courtyard.

In the underground of Linhu Bieyuan, I don't know how many lonely souls and wild ghosts are buried.

The most sensational thing was that he once kidnapped a pair of beautiful mother and daughter flowers. Who would have thought that behind the mother and daughter flowers were the wife and daughter of Feng Shuimu, the owner of Feiying Castle in Jiangnan Road.

Flying Eagle Castle is considered to be somewhat powerful in Jiangnan Road, and Feng Shuimu, the owner of Flying Eagle Castle, has a third-rank cultivation base.

When Feng Shuimu heard the news, how could he endure it? Immediately, he brought several masters from Feiying Castle to Linhu Bieyuan to kill Chu Huai on the spot. Protected by two third-rank masters, and the mansion is full of elite military masters, not only did the masters of Flying Eagle Fort never return, even Feng Shuimu, the owner of Flying Eagle Fort, died tragically on the spot.

Later, Flying Eagle Fort was completely removed from the rivers and lakes of Jiangnan Road, as if this power had never appeared before.

This matter can be described as a sensation, causing a huge sensation in the world and in the world.

Then it was rumored that although Chu Huai was banned in the Linhu Bieyuan, people in the world still found that many young ladies were secretly sent to the Linhu Bieyuan, and everyone knew that they were tricky.

The mention of Chu Huai's name now still makes many women's expressions change.

"and many more!"

At this moment, a cold shout came from a distance.

Liu Tuhu subconsciously paused in his hands, frowned and looked over, and couldn't help shouting: "Where did you come from?"

"Disrespectful! Mr. Zhou is just turning [-]!"

Zhou Xianming heard this, and couldn't help saying: "You can say Zhou is poor, but if you say old, Zhou can't bear it."

"Climb to the side."

Liu Tuhu stretched out his left fist, then clenched it hard, making a crackling sound.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

When Zhou Xianming heard the sound, he immediately shrank his neck and subconsciously stepped back several steps.

"You want to be a hero even if you have the guts?"

Butcher Liu gave a disdainful laugh, and was about to leave with the white ring in his hand.

"No, I don't want to..."

Bai Huan cried out.

"Liu Tuhu, I beg you to raise your hand high."

The old man Bai kept kowtowing on the ground.

But Liu Tuhu didn't care about it at all, and walked outside with the white ring in his hand.

"Don't go!"

Zhou Xianming took courage and hugged Liu Tuhu's thigh.

"damn thing!"

Liu Butcher's thigh was hugged, and he felt angry immediately, and wanted to kick Zhou Xianming away, but Zhou Xianming was like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how he shook it.

"court death!"

When Liu Tuhu saw this, he immediately let go of his palm, and greeted Zhou Xianming with a punch.

The strength of this punch was not small, and Zhou Xianming screamed at once, but his hands were tightly hugging Liu Butcher's thigh.

Liu Tuhu was not polite either, he greeted Zhou Xianming hard with his bowl-sized fist like a storm.

Soon, Zhou Xianming let go.

"Old man, with your ability, how dare you pretend to be a hero?"

Butcher Liu cursed and cursed. Even though Zhou Xianming let go, he didn't stop, and punched Zhou Xianming one after another.

Zhou Xianming yelled while protecting important parts of his body with both hands.

I saw him clutching his crotch with his hands desperately, his body curled up like a boiled shrimp.

"Ah! It hurts me to death......"

As the fist fell, only piercing wailing could be heard.

Soon, Zhou Xianming lay on the ground and stopped moving, and even his shouting became much quieter.

"Stop hitting, don't hit anyone again." The old man Bai shouted hastily.

"Mr. Zhou is a Confucian student rushing for the exam this time, and Qiu Wei's popular student. If you break it, you won't be able to walk around after the examiner scolds you." Bai Huan also said anxiously from the side.

"A Confucian student rushing for an exam?"

Butcher Liu also calmed down. Seeing Zhou Xianming lying motionless on the ground, he became afraid. He said that his uncle's matter was just bragging. Not to mention a Confucian student rushing for the exam.

You must know that Chu Nanying is also a Confucian student, and he attaches great importance to Confucian students. Killing a Confucian student who is rushing to take the exam is not something that can be suppressed, especially when there are so many people around. look aside.

Seeing Liu Tuhu stop his hands, Bai Huan hurriedly stepped forward to check, and then found Zhou Xianming lying on the ground motionless, with his fingers on his nose and not breathing.

"Dead.....dead...."

"Is this dead?"
