Jiankang, known as Jinling in ancient times, was the largest city in the world during the Six Dynasties, with a population of one million.During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the economy and culture were still extremely prosperous.Until the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been an important economic center in the southeast.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou changed Jiangning Mansion into Jiankang Mansion and designated it as the Xingdu. It is an important military and political center second only to the capital Lin'an.People at that time said: "There is no way to town the southeast without according to Jiankang."

Moreover, Jiankang Prefecture has a large population, with Xiongshan as the city, the Yangtze River as the pond, water transport by boats and vehicles, and several roads converge. The business activities are prosperous and the market is prosperous. It is still an important commercial city.

After the Battle of Caishiji, Jiankangfu City has been built many times, and has roughly restored the scale of Jiangning Fucheng in Southern Tang Dynasty.

After Liang Yufeng and his party entered Jiankang territory, they saw more and more people on the road dressed up.Among them, young people are mostly young people, all of them are high-spirited and full of ambition.

We must know that the mountains and rivers are broken and the country is in decline. It has been a long time since there has been a large-scale martial arts event such as the Double Ninth Festival in the world.

Most of the previous generation died during the war, so the young people of this generation are just fledgling and ambitious. Who doesn't want to show their faces in front of the heroes of the world?

Even if you don't come here for beauties, wealth, or rare magic weapons, just for the sake of fame and fame, it is enough to attract most young people.Besides, even if you don't have the skills to participate in the martial arts competition, wouldn't it be good to gain experience?

Some disciples from sects or families located in remote areas of the rivers and lakes rushed to Jinling City as soon as they got the news, fearing that they would not be able to attend the meeting in time.This group of people has probably lived in the city for two months now, and they are familiar with ordinary people.

Jiankang South Gate is the main gate of Fucheng, where the later Zhonghua Gate is located.The east gate is called Baixia Gate, which is the closest gate to Zijin Mountain.

The post pavilion outside the east gate is called Baixia Pavilion.Not far away, there is a Jieguan Pavilion for officials and others to rest, called Jianyang Pavilion. The pavilion has three entrances.

Because entering and exiting the east gate must pass through here, there are several tea stalls and restaurants at the intersection of the nearby post road, and the business is very good.

It's just because these days, there are too many people from the rivers and lakes entering and leaving the city, and the investigation by officials is much stricter.If the time is unlucky, people entering the city will have to wait in a long line, and it happens to be here to rest.

The Double Ninth Festival will be held on Zijin Mountain, and it is probably the busiest outside Baixia's gate.It happened that the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, and the autumn air was crisp, and there were many people traveling.Whip silk hat shadows on the road, pedestrians flock in an endless stream.

Whenever a well-known martial artist passes by, there will be a murmur of whispering in the tea sheds and restaurants on both sides of the road.

The four of Liang Yufeng and the others arrived here for the first time. They found a table and sat down to drink tea. They were immediately stalked by enthusiastic tea stall attendants: "The four guest officials are new to our Jinling City, right?"

Liang Yufeng just asked for a pot of tea, when he heard the words he said in surprise, "Yes, you can see that too?"

The clerk hurriedly said: "Young master has an outstanding appearance, a dragon among men. If you have seen it, how can you forget it?"

Young master Liang loved to hear these words, whether it was flattery or the truth, he lightly waved his feather fan to express his acceptance.

The clerk asked again: "Young Master, I wonder if you are here to participate in the Double Ninth Festival?"

Shi Tongyu glanced at him, frowned and didn't answer.He slung his long sword on his back, and his identity as a Jianghu man was extremely obvious. This guy knew the truth and asked, and there must be a conspiracy.

Liang Yufeng didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile, "Yes. What's the matter?"

While the guy was talking, his eyeballs rolled around, secretly looking at the clothes of the four of them, but he didn't see any tricks.

Liang Yufeng always dressed elegantly, dressed in white, fluttering his feather fan, and looked like a nobleman.

Shi Tongyu was dressed in kudzu clothes and a bamboo hat with the brim of the hat pulled down, keeping a low profile as always.

As for Xiao Qiao, she looks very ordinary, but she doesn't care if the hem of the good clothes she wears is muddy, she has no manners, and looks childish.

Zhong Yin's person was unremarkable, but he was very generous when feeding the cat. As soon as he sat down, he specially ordered fried small fish to feed the cat.The cat licked the best stewed beef and stopped eating it. The problem is that he ate the beef himself...

These four people sat together, and they really couldn't tell whether they were rich or not.

The buddy was so troubled, he just didn't care about it so much, and let's get close first.

"Young Master, when you come to the Double Ninth Festival, I'm afraid you don't know a few people for the first time? Would you like to introduce me to you? These strange people in the rivers and lakes, those who arrived early, the younger ones are no longer familiar! "

Liang Yufeng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Okay."

The buddy got excited, and immediately pointed to the passers-by on the road and began to talk endlessly.

"Guest officer, look, that's the Flying Fish Sword Qiu Shaoxia of the South Sea Sword Sect! This is a famous figure on the list of martial arts young heroes. The Flying Fish Sword he carries on his back has a special shape, very narrow and long, I will never admit it wrong .”

Liang Yufeng: "..."

He nodded deeply.

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.This Qiu Shaoxia really responded to this sentence, with a pointed head and protruding mouth, and the distance between his eyes is so wide, like a fish's head.The name Feiyujian is truly well-deserved.

It is indeed difficult for people to admit that they have grown into such a strange person...

"Hey, look, my lord, do you recognize the one holding the horse?"

Liang Yufeng shook his head honestly.

His time in the Central Plains is still too short, some famous heroes may know that these young chivalrous men really don't recognize many of them.

"Watching cockfights in the arena, the white-nosed purple monkey neighs. My son, you will remember from now on, as soon as you see this white-nosed purple monkey, it means that Wang Yan, the purple monkey, has arrived! This is also a famous young hero on the list."

Xiao Qiao couldn't help but interjected: "What? I heard that this guy is a dogfighter, and he will come to the Double Ninth Festival?"

The clerk proudly said: "What is this? Miss Xiao is the most beautiful woman in the world. Mr. Zi Liu is naturally romantic. For Miss Xiao, of course he will come."

Liang Yufeng took a look at the Zilu boy, he looked good, but his eyes were dull and his complexion was sallow, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

He said emotionally: "Sure enough, I have a sexual appetite." After being sick like this, I still want to see the beauties, the spirit is commendable.

Hearing this, the man came over mysteriously, as if he was afraid that the wall might have ears, and said in a low voice: "You guys don't know something, but the day before yesterday, there was an eminent Buddhist monk who came all the way from Tianzhu to attend this grand event. He didn't hesitate to return to vulgarity!"

Xiao Qiao took half a sip of tea and sprayed it all: "No way? Is it true or not?"

The buddy swears: "I dare not talk nonsense! I went to take a look, and the man's hair is only an inch long, and you can still see the scars! He must be a monk who has just returned from secular life!"

Xiao Qiao stared blankly.Obviously everyone's madness towards the most beautiful woman in the world exceeded his imagination...

Shi Tongyu frowned: "People in the Jianghu spread rumors, you can't believe them all."

Liang Yufeng laughed and said, "Maybe he just met a difficult opponent and got his hair shaved off."

The guy didn't think so, but of course he wouldn't fight against the God of Wealth, he just apologized.

At this time, he changed his subject and asked: "My lord, do you have an invitation card for the Double Ninth Festival?"

Liang Yufeng knew that Xirou was coming, so he said calmly, "So what? So what?"

Seeing him smiling, the guy boldly said: "I think you are outstanding in appearance and extraordinary in martial arts. If you can show your skills in the Chongyang Festival, you will be able to beat the crowd and win the beauty!"

Young Master Liang smiled: "Thank you for your good words."

Shi Tongyu: "..."

He gave the guy a cold look.

The clerk didn't know, so he quickly changed the subject: "However, although invitations are widely distributed for this grand event, there are so many heroes in the world, so it is inevitable that there are omissions or undelivered ones."

When Young Master Liang heard this, the smile in his eyes grew stronger: "Yes."

The buddy became even more enthusiastic: "But the news of this event has already spread all over the world. If these heroes still come after hearing the news, it will be a pity that they cannot participate in the competition without invitations..."

Young Master Liang was very appreciative, and immediately followed his words and asked: "What's the matter? Can you do it with this invitation?"

The guy hurriedly said: "I don't think there is such a small thing. But I heard people say, go out from the Baixia Gate, go straight along the left avenue, and within three miles you will be the Xiao family's other courtyard."

Xiao Qiao couldn't help interjecting: "Isn't Xiao Honglei from Yangzhou?"

The waiter hurriedly said: "This villa is newly bought by Miss Xiao after she came to Jinling for the purpose of staying temporarily for the Double Ninth Festival."

Xiao Qiao's eyes were straightened: "Rich!"

The clerk couldn't answer this, so he had to pretend he didn't hear it, and said: "For those heroes who don't have an invitation card, if they want to participate in the martial arts competition, they may as well go to the other village to pay a visit, explain their identity, and then they can get an invitation card."

Seeing his eyeballs rolling, Liang Yufeng smiled and said, "Really? Thank you for letting me know."

The clerk smiled and said: "Where, it is a small honor to be able to help the young master." Stretching out his hand, he gently rubbed his thumb and index middle finger, making a subtle gesture.

Young Master Liang immediately understood and gave him a small piece of broken silver.

The guy walked away with a smile on his face.

Shi Tongyu frowned and said: "I think this person's tricks are not right, what he said may not be true."

Young Master Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "But my intuition tells me that it might be very interesting."

Xiao Qiao curled her lips and said, "It's not like we don't have invitations. Prodigal, you go!"

Young Master Liang laughed and said: "He wasted so much saliva anyway. You can take it as a reward, okay?"
