This is a small town, said to be a small town is just a larger town, the name is also called Qingniu Town, only those who live in the nearby ravine, not much knowledge of the natives, only "Qingniu City" "Qingniu City" called non-stop. This is the word from the heart of Zhang Er, who has been working as a doorkeeper for more than ten years.

  Qingniu Town is indeed not big, the main street is only an east-west direction of the Qingniu Street, and even the inn is only a Qingniu Inn, the inn is located in the long strip of the western end of the town, so the passing merchants do not want to sleep in the wild, then only live here.

  Now there look is a lot of rush carriages, from the west into the town of Qingniu, fast drive past the Qingniu Inn's gate, stopping to the other end of town, before the entrance to the Spring Fragrance Restaurant, before stopping.

  The Spring Fragrance Restaurant is not big, and even a little old, but it has an ancient flavor. Because it is now lunchtime, the restaurant still has a lot of customers with meals, almost called a full house.

  A round-faced fat man with a moustache and a dark-skinned, teenage child came down from the car, and the man swaggered directly into the restaurant with the child. There are familiar customers in the restaurant who recognize the fat man, and know that he is the restaurant's boss "Fatty Han", the child who no one recognized.

  "Old Han, this black boy looks like you, it's not the son you gave birth to behind your mother-in-law's back, right?" A person suddenly joked.

  The words came out, provoking a burst of laughter from the crowd next to him.

  "Bah! This is my nephew brought from my own family, of course, he has some resemblance to me." The fat man not only did not get angry, there are a few smug.

  These two people are just entering the town after three days of driving, Han Li and his third uncle, "Fatty Han" as others call him.

  Fatty Han greeted a few familiar customers and took Han Li to the back of the restaurant, to a small, remote courtyard.

  "Little Li, take a good rest in this house and get well, I will call you as soon as the steward of the inner gate comes, I have to go out first to greet a few acquaintances." Fatty Han pointed to the compartment in the courtyard and said to him kindly.

  After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly walked out.

  When he reached the door, he seemed to be a little uneasy in his heart and instructed again.

  "Don't run around, there are too many people in the town, don't get lost, and it's best not to go out of the courtyard."

  "En!"

  Seeing Han Li honestly agree, he felt relieved to walk out.

  Han Li saw the third uncle out of the house and felt very tired, so he fell headlong into bed and whirred to sleep, surprisingly not a little child afraid of life.

  By evening, a boy sent a meal, although not big fish and meat, but also considered delicious. After eating, a boy came in again, the leftover rice bowls to carry out, and only then Uncle Sam walked in unhurriedly.

  "How is it, the food is still to your liking, some homesickness, right?"

  "Yes, I'm a little homesick." Han Li appeared to be very well behaved.

  Third Uncle seemed satisfied with Han Li's answer and immediately talked to him about some homely talk, bragging about some interesting people and stories he had experienced. Gradually, Han Li did not feel restrained, and he began to talk and laugh with him.

  In this way, two days passed in a row.

  On the third day, when Han Li finished his dinner and was waiting for Third Uncle to tell him stories about the rivers and lakes, another carriage pulled up in front of the restaurant.

  The carriage was painted black and shiny, and the driver was an uncommon yellow hussar horse, and what attracted the most attention was a small triangular black flag with the word "Xuan" rusted on the frame of the carriage, with silver letters and red edges, which naturally conveyed an indescribable mysterious color.

  Seeing this small flag, all the veterans of the jianghu who walk around the hundreds of miles in this area know that one of the two overlords of this place, the "Seven Mysteries", important people are visiting the local.

  The "Seven Mysteries Sect", also known as the "Seven Extremes Sect", was founded by the famous "Seven Extremes Master" two hundred years ago, and once dominated Mirror State for dozens of years, and even penetrated several states close to Mirror State. In the whole country of Vietnam, it was also famous. However, after the death of the Seven Absolute Masters, the power of the Seven Mystic Sects fell to the ground and was squeezed out of the capital city of Mirror State by other sects. A hundred years ago, the sect was forced to move to the most remote place in Mirror Prefecture - Xianxia Mountain, where it has since taken root and settled down.

The third-rate local small forces.

  There is a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse, after all, the Seventh Heavenly Clan was once a big sect, and its potential is still very small. The seventh century is the most important time for the development of the world.

  The only other local force that can compete with the Seven Mysteries is the "Wild Wolf Gang".

  The Wild Wolf Gang was formerly a group of horse thieves who burned and killed in the mirror state, and later, after several government sieges, some of them accepted the government's offer, and some of the horse thieves became the Wild Wolf Gang, but the horse thieves are vicious and bloodthirsty and dare to kill and fight, but the ruthlessness has been passed down, so the Seventh Heavenly Clan has been at a disadvantage when clashing with the Wild Wolf Gang.

  Although there are more towns controlled by the Wild Wolf Gang, they do not know how to run their business and are not as rich as the towns under the Seventh Heavenly Clan. The Wild Wolf Gang is very greedy for several richer territories under the Seventh Xuan Sect, and has recently often provoked conflicts between the two, which has caused the current Seventh Xuan Sect master a lot of headaches, which has become the main reason for the Seventh Xuan Sect to repeatedly expand its disciples in recent years.

  The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

  As soon as Han Li's third uncle saw this man, he immediately respectfully stepped forward and gave a salute.

  "Protector Wang, why did your old man personally bring someone here?"

  "Humph!" Protector Wang coldly snorted, with a proud look on his face.

  "This time the road is not peaceful, to strengthen the defense, the elders ordered me to personally come to collect people, and cut the crap, this child is the person you want to push?"

  "Yes, yes, this is my nephew from my own family, I hope Protector Wang will take more care of him on the road."

  Fatty Han saw that the man looked a little impatient, and nimbly took out a heavy bag from his body and handed it over covertly

  Wang Guardian weighs the bag, the look of some relaxed down.

  "Fatty Han, you are quite good at being a man! Your nephew I will take care of one or two on the road, the time is late, or hurry up on the road.
