Chapter 13 Licheng
Liu Qiaolian worked as a traveling merchant and often traveled between the north and the south.

In the following days, with Liu Qiaolian's guidance and companionship, Xia Daoming no longer had to worry about which way to go, and he no longer had to sleep in the open.

Every day, Liu Qiaolian will arrange her schedule properly.

Whether it was a place to eat or a place to sleep, even if Xia Daoming hadn't agreed, the means of transportation would have been changed from two horses to a carriage.

Riding a horse, with beautiful women waiting on him in front of and behind the horse, Xia Daoming felt like a young man out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Not only that, the plump and graceful Liu Qiaolian is not like Ji Wenyue, who is young and careless. She is charming and charming, and does not avoid Xia Daoming's old eyes at all. On the contrary, she smiles charmingly at him without hesitation, showing off her good figure and looking irresponsible. Jun Caixie's alluring look.

But towards other men she met on the way, she was as cold as ice, as if they were all dead.

A man and a woman alone lived together for seven days and seven nights. On a stormy night, Xia Daoming, who had drunk some wine, finally couldn't bear the man's nature. He stripped Liu Qiaolian naked and started fighting with her. Poker.

The next day, Liu Qiaolian continued to perform her duties as a maid as if nothing had happened, but she was a little awkward when walking. Occasionally she looked at Xia Daoming's back, and there was an inexplicable emotion deep in her eyes. Xu.

Xia Daoming, on the other hand, had just slept with someone else last night. Especially after watching Liu Qiaolian solemnly cut off the blood stains on the mattress and put it away, he felt very sorry.

Seeing that she was dressed as a young woman, he thought she was a widow or had suffered something, so when Liu Qiaolian threw herself into her arms last night, he didn't have any psychological burden and took advantage of the situation to play a game of poker with her.

As a result, I found out that she was still a young lady, and this matter became a big deal!
To be honest, he is like a rootless person now, with no plans to start a family or start a career. Moreover, he and Liu Qiaolian have only known each other for a few days, and there is no relationship between man and woman at all. At most, he is just greedy for her body.

He's irresponsible, it seems like he's a scumbag.

Therefore, Xia Daoming, who hasn't figured out how to deal with the aftermath, can only try his best to show his goodwill to Liu Qiaolian and take the initiative to do something, at least not to make Liu Qiaolian think that he is the kind of scumbag who turns his back on him when he puts on his pants.

As a result, Liu Qiaolian showed no appreciation at all and continued to do her job as a maid meticulously. She was not at all like the charming and tender character she showed during the poker game last night.

Even, once, Xia Daoming was a little too enthusiastic. She even knelt down in tears and said that she could not disturb the dignity of others!

This made Xia Daoming feel very subtle. It seemed that he had become the kind of scumbag who couldn't afford a one-night stand. He said everyone would go their separate ways after the fun was over, but insisted on getting entangled with them afterwards!

A few days later, it was another stormy night.

It seemed that Xia Daoming was too sophisticated during the day, or maybe Liu Qiaolian had her first taste of the forbidden fruit and had some ideas. After blowing off the lamp, she took the initiative to get into his bed.

The next day, Xia Daoming still felt sorry and wanted to make amends.

In the end, people still didn’t appreciate it.

Gradually, Xia Daoming gradually got used to Liu Qiaolian's identity as the intercourse girl.

The two of them would play poker every now and then, which made Xia Daoming's trip become a sexy trip.

The mountain road was winding and winding, and they had to avoid checkpoints guarded by bandits. It took another ten days before the two finally arrived in Licheng.

Licheng is located in a plain basin among the mountains. The city wall is towering and tall, far beyond the level of Blackstone City.

There are dark brown mottled dried blood stains on the huge wall stones, quietly telling the vicissitudes of history of this city.

On the city wall, there were heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian paid the entry fee and entered Licheng.

The street connecting the city gate is wider and busier than Blackstone City.

Men and women dressed in different styles rub shoulders with each other. Taverns, teahouses, brothels, casinos, medicine shops and rice shops line both sides of the street. There are also many stalls and hawkers on the streets.

The shouts of the vendors were like a stream of people. At first glance, Xia Daoming almost thought that he had traveled to a prosperous age.

It was only when Xia Daoming truly joined the crowd and walked on the street that he discovered that above the bustling surface, there was desolation and misery everywhere.

There are beggars in rags and skinny and hungry, some are selling their sons and daughters, some are selling their bodies to bury their fathers, and some have corpses thrown on carts like dead dogs and dragged out of the city gate...

The alleyway that connects to the main street is dark, narrow, and stained.

In an alley, there were people wearing gang uniforms slashing people with knives, but the crowds of people on the street seemed to be commonplace, and no one took a second glance.

Xia Daoming couldn't help but have a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mangzhou is located on the border, where bandits are rampant and people die of hunger everywhere. How can it be a prosperous place?
Under Liu Qiaolian's guidance, the two of them soon arrived at a street that looked relatively clean and there were no beggars or homeless people in sight.

Most of the houses on both sides of the streets are old and new. Although there are no big houses in sight, most of them are houses with small yards. They are much better than the dilapidated bungalows in the alleys that Xia Daoming saw along the way.

"This should be equivalent to a middle-class residential area in Licheng." Xia Daoming thought to himself.

"Sui Mian Lane is one of the two streets under the jurisdiction of Liuyunfang. Liuyunfang is the power territory of the Situ family." Liu Qiaolian introduced as she walked.

"The Situ family that the young man at the entrance of the Red Flame Valley mentioned?" Xia Daoming asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's the Situ family. The Xu family is the only family of martial arts masters in Licheng, and Xu Shixiong is recognized as the outstanding disciple of the Xu family who has the best chance of becoming a master. He is also a seventh-level martial arts master. Naturally, the Situ family can not be released. In the eyes.

But in fact, the head of the Situ family, Situ Zhongliang, was a sixth-grade great martial artist and was already considered a good hand in Licheng. Moreover, the Situ family had a close relationship with the Ji family in Yongqingfang next door, and they had always advanced and retreated together. With the Situ family in charge of Liuyunfang, ordinary gangs would not dare to cause trouble. I wanted this place to be quiet, so when I fled Laili City six years ago, I bought a house here to settle down. Liu Qiaolian said.

"Ji family? Are you talking about the Ji family of Changchun Hall?" Xia Daoming showed a subtle expression.

"It turns out that the master has also heard of the name of Changchun Hall Ji's family!" Liu Qiaolian had a look of surprise on her face.

"I'll go, what a coincidence!" He muttered to himself, Xia Daoming nodded and said, "I just heard about it, but I don't know the details clearly."

"The Ji family is much stronger than the Situ family in terms of financial resources, manpower, and connections. The old man of the Ji family is even a seventh-grade martial artist. Unfortunately, he is already old, and none of his descendants are outstanding. The highest level is no more than Among the fifth-grade great martial artists, there has never been a sixth-grade great martial artist so far.

However, the Ji family is a big merchant of medicinal materials and has strong financial resources. They have cultivated many experts with money and money, and even recruited three sixth-grade great martial arts masters to worship them. They can be regarded as a rather intimidating force in Licheng. Liu Qiaolian explained roughly.

While talking, the two came to a house with two big locks on the door.

Liu Qiaolian took out the key and opened the lock.

"Crench!"

The door was pushed open.

The first thing that appears in front of you is a yard mostly paved with bricks and stones, with some stone locks, iron bamboo shoots, sand bags and other weapon training equipment placed on it.

There is a wing room on each side of the yard, and facing the gate are three main rooms and two side rooms.

Liu Qiaolian had obviously been away from home for a long time this time. There were a lot of weeds growing in the cracks between the bricks and stones and in the corners of the yard. The doors and windows in the room were also covered with a layer of dust.

Familiar scenery came into view, and the memories that Liu Qiaolian had deliberately sealed these days came to mind.

In front of her eyes, a young woman wearing emerald green clothes seemed to be watching with pleasure as a young man sweating profusely lifted a stone lock.

But in the blink of an eye, the young man turned into a ferocious pockmarked face, and pushed her towards the Blood Feather Eagle. Then the scene changed again, and the familiar pockmarked face pushed her towards the blood-feathered eagle. Laughing man.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Liu Qiaolian's eyes unconsciously.

"Let's stay at the inn tonight, and tomorrow we will buy a new house. Find time to clean up the house here, and then sell it." Xia Daoming stepped forward and gently moved Liu Qiaolian He held her in his arms and said softly.

"Thank you, Master. I'm fine. I'm going to pack some clothes in the house and then go to the inn with Master to stay temporarily." Liu Qiaolian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled brightly at Xia Daoming.
-
a few days later.

Taiwufang, Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall.

Xia Daoming, wearing a green outfit, followed a burly bearded man through the spacious martial arts training ground in the outer courtyard, passed an arched door, and then walked through a winding corridor until he came to the inner room covered with greenery and filled with coolness. Academy martial arts training ground.

Compared to the spectacular and lively martial arts training scene in the outer courtyard, the martial arts training ground in the inner courtyard seemed very quiet.

There was only one man who looked younger than Xia Daoming, sitting cross-legged in the shade beside the martial arts training ground, working on his energy and blood.

There is a pavilion built on a slightly higher ground to the south of the martial arts training ground.

There is a big tree with a canopy like clouds growing behind the pavilion, and the shade of the tree completely covers the pavilion.

In the pavilion, a 66-year-old man with silver hair like a halberd and a powerful figure was closing his eyes to meditate.

He heard the footsteps, slowly opened his eyes, and looked towards Xia Daoming.

His eyes were majestic and sharp, and Xia Daoming's heart tightened, knowing that this person was Liang Jingtang, the master of the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, a sixth-grade martial arts master.

The young man who was running his qi and blood power also noticed the stranger's arrival. He opened his eyes and glanced coldly at Xia Daoming, then quickly closed them again and continued to run his qi and blood power.

"Master, we've brought it here." Yuchi Xiao arrived at the pavilion and bowed to Liang Jingtang.

Liang Jingtang nodded slightly towards Yuchi Xiao and looked past him to Xia Daoming.

"Xia Daoming has met Master Liang." Xia Daoming quickly stepped forward and bowed in salute.

"I heard that your technique is inherited from Qiu Zhiheng?" Liang Jingtang asked, with a trace of vicissitudes and memories deep in his eyes.

"Back to the master, I have been practicing martial arts with Master Qiu since I was twelve years old." Xia Daoming bowed and replied.

Hearing that Xia Daoming started practicing martial arts with Qiu Zhiheng at the age of twelve, Liang Jingtang looked at him with a hint of elder kindness.

"I am three years older than your Master Qiu. We practiced martial arts together, had fun together, and did tasks together. We had a deep friendship. Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he offended a direct descendant of the Shi family. He had no choice but to leave north thirty years ago. land.

He and I have never seen each other again since then, and I didn’t expect to see the disciples he taught today! I wonder how he is doing? Liang Jingtang asked.
