Zhao Langjiang did not expect that Xu Gongfeng would take action suddenly.

But after years of military career, he has already developed the habit of dealing with all crises at any time, and this habit has become an instinct.

Zhao Langjiang bent his body backwards, like a bow with a broken string and a bow's back spread, and his whole body bounced back. Before leaving Xu Gongfeng, he used a wooden knife to slash Xu Gongfeng.

Even so, Xu Gongfeng wiped Zhao Langjiang's forehead with a knife.

He did not pursue, put his knife into the sheath, and laughed loudly, "It is true that he is the demeanor of a famous general."

Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng stood there, without moving. They could see that although Xu Chongfeng's knife was sharp, he had no intention of killing.

Xu Gongfeng said, "I have some good wine and meat here, why not come here and talk?"

The four of them arrived at the back cabin. Someone had prepared wine and food, and they had a long journey. There was good wine, but the dishes might not be good food, some bacon, kimchi, ham, and a plate of peanuts. But for the three people who ate fish and shrimp all the way, it was like a feast.

Xu Gongfeng said: "I see the three masters who are extraordinary in martial arts. I'm afraid they are not this guy, right?"

Although Xiao Jinyan didn't know who Xu Chongfeng was, he was low-key, neither humble nor arrogant, and had a great demeanor, and did not hide it. He said, "The three of us brothers were going west to enter Sichuan, but Mr. Li happened to hire someone temporarily, so he came to take the blame."

Xu Gongfeng took a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "In that case, it is a coincidence that you boarded this ship. Don't you know what cargo this ship brings?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "I heard from Mr. Li that it seems that it is some fine iron for the sword-making conference of Yujian Villa next month."

"If it were just ordinary essence iron, I'm afraid I wouldn't have let me take action myself." Xu Gongfeng played with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes locked on the three of them, and said slowly: "There is a piece of red essence iron on this ship."

The red essence and black iron are the most solid and yang thing in the world. There are only three weapons made of this iron that are left in the world.

Five hundred years ago, Lu Xuanji defected to Shujian Mountain and stole a piece of black iron from the mountain, casting it into three magic weapons, including golden swords, hidden swords, and nameless guns. This black iron is not only extremely hard, but also can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth with unique secret techniques. It is a weapon that any warrior dreams of. However, the whereabouts of these three magic weapons are still unknown. The golden sword of Zhao Langjiang is mixed with a little red essence and black iron, which is enough to look down on the world.

Because of this, the Tang Sect was willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver to buy this piece of black iron. Of course, the Tang Sect was not for making swords, but for making the rainy pear blossom needle.

A rainy pear blossom needle can emit 3,600 poison needles. It needs to fire these poison needles in a few breaths, which requires extremely high material requirements for the machine spring, and red essence black iron is one of the excellent choices.

Xu Gongfeng said this, but in fact he was testing the reactions of the three of them.

The news about Chi Jing Xuantie had been leaked long ago, and the mission was extremely severe. Xu Chongfeng noticed them when the three of them got on the boat. He was worried that it was an undercover sent by his opponent. The world was vicious. If this was true, Xu Chongfeng would have to take action first.

When Xu Gongfeng saw the three of them showing shock, he was not as if he was pretending to be fake, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He said slowly, "Since I got on the boat, I found that someone was staring at us. These people were hiding in the dark and were really unpredictable. Except for the two people in charge of the matter, the rest of the people on the boat were vulnerable, so Xu dared to make a request."

Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "But it's okay."

"Since we are on the way, I want to invite three people to help me with Baidao Sect. After the matter is completed, I will thank you again." He paused and said, "Of course, it is normal for people to avoid disasters. If the three people refuse, Xu can understand it."

Before Xiao Jinyan could speak, Li Qingcheng spoke, "We agreed."

Xu Chongfeng thought the other party would discuss some conditions, but he didn't expect that Li Qingcheng agreed so quickly, so he looked at Xiao and Zhao again.

Xiao Jinyan said: "My brother's words are ours."

Li Qingcheng said again, "But it is not for your Baidao Sect. But for our little master and the unknown sect."

These days, Xu Chaofeng was on the same boat with them, so he naturally knew that Li Jinping accepted the three of them as his disciples and founded some unknown sects. He laughed, "I didn't expect that all three of them were of temperament."

Xiao Jinyan said, "The three of us brothers are exploring the world and are about to do a big fight. It is best to have a few masters and let us kill them. As long as the person who comes is not Yuwen Tianlu, we will all help you kill them!"

Xu Chaofeng also said, "If Yuwen Tianlu came, I'm afraid I'll have to escape in panic."

Seeing that what he said was so real, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

...

A few days later, the ship arrived at Jiujiang Wharf.

Jiujiang, known as Xunyang in ancient times, was the mouth of the three rivers and the crossroads of nine provinces. The Yangtze River is in the first section of Jiujiang, also known as Xunyang River. On the front line of the Yangtze River, Jiujiang Wharf is considered a larger wharf.

As planned, the boat stopped in Jiujiang and rested for three days.

As soon as everyone was sailing on the boat for more than a month, they were tired from the journey for dozens of days and did not land. Not to mention humans, even Mr. Lu was going crazy. As soon as he got off the boat, he followed a female donkey and wanted to do such a miserable thing, even a few people couldn't hold it.

Secondly, the supply consumption on the ship was almost the same, and Li Dazhun and others had to buy some food in Jiujiang. In addition, after October, it was getting colder and they had to buy some clothes and warmth.

Third, Li Dajun traveled to the Xichuan Line all year round and had many friends here. During this trip, he joined Su Jin from Suzhou, visited his friends here, and found an opportunity to get away. He then bought some money and earned the difference after entering Shuzhong. It is understandable that he is doing business, and this is also their way of making a living.

Li Dazhun got off the boat and hired more than a dozen boatmen, pulled the boat to the shallow water shore, broke down, and went to the officers and soldiers' posts to pay the bank tax. After completing the procedures, of course, some favors were indispensable.

Xiao Jinyan and the other two stood on the boat, looking at Jiujiang Wharf. Although it was already winter, there were still merchant ships on the wharf, with boatmen holding bamboo baskets and hawking food everywhere, and ragged beggars interspersed among them.

Xiao Jinyan said: "It is worthy of being known as the 'land of the world'. This Jiujiang wharf is much more prosperous than the Suzhou wharf."

"It would be a pity if I didn't go to Mount Lu and taste the three stones of Mount Lu." Li Qingcheng said, "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the left and right, why don't I go to the city today?"

Xiao Jinyanqi asked: "

What are the Three Stones of Lushan?”

"Stone chicken, stone ears, stone fish."

When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he said, "Can you eat stones? I'm not good at my teeth, I'm afraid I won't have the blessing to enjoy it."

Li Qingcheng explained unhappily, "Stone chicken is not a chicken, but a kind of thorn frog born in the mountain stream. The meat is delicious and melts in the mouth. When cooking, it is cooked with green onions, ginger, peppers, and then smoked, and served with white rice. It is a delicious food in the world."

"What's that stone ear?"

"Stone ears are not ears, but a kind of bacteria on the stone of no Shanyin. They are used to make soup. They taste mellow and have endless aftertaste."

Xiao Jinyan said oh, "That stone fish is not a fish anymore?"

Li Qingcheng said: "It's just a fish."

Xiao Jinyan looked envious, "Who lived in his twenties, why are you so outstanding?"

Li Qingcheng looked at him with a disdainful expression that you had never seen the world before and said, "When it comes to eating, I can tell you three days and three nights, because I am Li Qingcheng."

The third young master of the Li family in Jinling, a prodigal son born with a golden key in his hand, has eaten, passed through, and seen, how could he compare to an expired nouveau riche like Li Qingcheng and a poor child like Zhao Langjiang?

Not to mention Xiao Jinyan, even Li Jinping next to him looked yearning and couldn't help but sigh, "Every time I come to Jiujiang, grandpa will buy me a Jiujiang tea cake to try."

Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the three of us will accompany our master to visit Jiujiang City today. Anyway, Li Qingcheng has money."

Li Qingcheng said, "I have no money."

Xiao Jinyan pointed at Zhao Langjiang, "Young Master Zhao paid the bill."

Zhao Langjiang sneered, thinking that when did I give me money for dinner, but he didn't say it out loud. Anyway, if you go out together, as long as you have a thick-skinned face and can hold on, in the end, there will always be someone to pay. The martial arts skills are higher than my Zhao Langjiang, but they are thicker than my Zhao Langjiang. I have never lost anyone.

On the boat, Xu Chongfeng, Qi Baihu and others were guarding him. Li Dazhun had already entered the city to visit friends, but no one stopped them.

As soon as I got off the boat, a sister-in-law came over at the dock, "Little brother, are you staying in a hotel? One hundred ounces a night, there is hot water and you can take a bath. If you are willing to spend some money, you can also ask the sister from the heaven and earth next door to come and sing a song "Pipa Xing" for you. After drinking a little wine, life will be happy. How about it?"

The four ignored her and continued to move forward. The sister-in-law was unyielding, "We still have a hourly room..."

Xiao Jinyan turned around and asked, "Is there an internet?"

The sister-in-law waved her hand, "Our store is very clean, there are not even a single fly, how could there be a spider web?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted, "I don't have an internet connection, so I'm so embarrassed to open a store." He turned around and left.

The sister-in-law wondered when this will become popular? Is it the most popular thing in the capital? Seeing another customer, she leaned over and said, "Customer, can you stay in a hotel? A hundred people have hot water for a night, and you can take a bath. By the way, there is also a net!"

The four of them entered the city and strolled around while buying some snacks.

Li Jinping often stops in Jiujiang, but his grandfather rarely lets her enter the city. Even if he comes in, he will never leave her and will not spend money indiscriminately. Today, the three apprentices took her to visit Jiujiang City, and the three of them surrounded her, and they couldn't help but feel proud.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

"Xia Li, don't you want to eat the three stones in Lushan?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

Li Qingcheng was not vague. After a brief investigation, an old man said, "If you want to eat the three wonders of Lushan, you have to go to heaven and earth, drink Xunyang special brew, and listen to the pipa playing at night, which is the joy of the world."

Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "Isn't the heaven and earth a place of romance?"

The old man said, "Is there nothing to eat in the place of Fengyue?"

"Have you gone to eat it?"

The old man pointed at the straight-straight body, "Look at me, I look like the one I have been there, I heard from you."

Li Qingcheng said he was too lazy to ask, so he went to heaven and earth.

...

Heaven and earth.

The beauty of the world is three parts in heaven, two parts in earth, and the remaining five parts are all in heaven and earth.

It is not difficult to find here. When the four of them arrived, they saw a three-story building standing in the most conspicuous place in Jiujiang City. The first thing that caught their eye was the plaque with four large gilded characters "Heaven and Earth". The four characters were extraordinary and were obviously written by famous artists.

Even Li Qingcheng did not expect that Jiujiang City would have such a luxurious romantic scene, which shows that the owner behind the scenes had an extraordinary identity.

The lights were just on, and the three floors were hung with lanterns, which brightly illuminated the lights inside. The decoration was magnificent and very particular. As soon as winter came, the ground dragon burned inside, and it felt a little hot as soon as it entered.

Li Qingcheng said, "In a magnificent and warm environment, the more likely people to have impulsive consumption, if you drink some wine to make fun of it, it will be like a flow of money. It seems that the owner of this building is well aware of this."

Xiao Jinyan said, "I think you are well aware of this. It's a pity that you don't open a brothel in Jinling."

Li Jinping had never been to such a place before and said at the door, "Or why don't we find a small shop."

Li Qingcheng shook his head, "Isn't it a waste if I don't eat the best one?"

The four of them went in, and a servant was serving him to a private room. When he was about to come, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but be amazed, "A plate of shredded potatoes costs two taels of silver?" Looking at the three wonders of Lushan, the three dishes cost fifty or sixty taels of silver.

He thought, Li Qingcheng did not bring money, and Zhao Langjiang was not like a rich guy. In the end, he would have to pay the bill by himself sooner or later. He didn't have much money on him, and the only valuable thing was Tang Ao's ten golden swords left.

Xiao Jinyan combined the recipe and said, "Put three plates of shredded potatoes first!"
