Chapter 16 Don't Offend Either Side
The next day, with the help of Liang Hu, Lu Changsheng found a simple place to stay near the Xingjiao Inn.
Because he was worried that he didn't know anything and violated the taboos of this place, which would implicate him, Liang Hu also told him a lot of news.
For example, the beggars on the street said that someone was doing the business of picking fresh folded ears. Although the other party was weak and might be disabled, if he offended him, he might be a corpse in the ditch the next day.
It was also said that the servant in the inn might be a relative of a gang member in the city.
These days, there are already countless people eyeing the pits that can make money. If one or two can be leaked out, it is all luck.
"I'll give you a word, that is, look more and more, think more about things, those who get angry easily, the grass on their graves is already three feet high!"
Liang Hu sent them to a wing room.
Here is the place he introduced them to live, 5 copper coins a day, but it is not for Liang Hu, but for the Sanhong Gang.
"There is another thing, there are two types of people in Heishan Mansion that must not be offended, one is the scholar, and the other is the warrior!"
"Are scholars the kind of people who are the students of the master?" Wang Heihou asked hurriedly.
"Him?" Liang Hu curled his lips, revealing a hint of sarcasm, but because the other party involved his shameful things, he did not continue to talk.
"Scholars refer to people from the Jixia Academy! As for what the Jixia Academy is, I don't know either. Anyway, if you hear this name, run as far as you can!"
"Your Excellency is talking about officials, right?" At this time, Lu Changsheng said.
"You can say that!" Liang Hu had never thought about this. He did not understand this statement by himself, but heard it from other places. At this time, hearing Lu Changsheng's words, he felt that it made sense.
"While warriors are not that scary, once they get angry, blood will definitely fall!"
"That's the gang?" Wang Heihou said proudly.
This echoed Lu Changsheng's "official position".
Unexpectedly, Liang Hu sneered and said, "How can it be so easy!"
He didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng felt a little helpless. Liang Hu was probably a little bothered by what happened last night.
However, at this time, he had to take care of Liang Hu's face, so he naturally couldn't say anything more.
"Please tell me clearly, Lord Liang Hu!"
A trace of satisfaction appeared in Liang Hu's eyes, "A warrior is a warrior, anyone who has practiced martial arts counts! Gangs are just one of them, guards of wealthy families, apprentices of martial arts schools, and even someone who looks down on the street, all count!"
"I understand the others, but how about the down-and-out people?" Wang Heihou muttered.
"Who knows if the person on the street is a warrior?" Liang Hu snorted, "What if there happens to be a warrior pretending to be one?"
"You know, if the gangs fight for territory and fight overtly and covertly, maybe the person lying on the street is the boss of that gang! At that time, one of them will suddenly attack and kill people directly, and even the Black Mountain Army will not be able to do anything to them!"
Several people were frightened by Liang Hu's words and could not stand.
"Is this city so chaotic?" Lu Changsheng murmured.
"Chaos? If it's not chaos, I might as well go home directly!" Liang Hu said with a grin, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he left a sentence and said, "Don't forget, on the third day of every month, go to the Xingjiao Inn to find Manager Li and pay the rent!"
"Okay! Thank you, sir!"
Lu Changsheng walked to the door to see him off.
"There's no need to be so polite, right? That guy is obviously not a good person!" Wang Heihou didn't understand Lu Changsheng's behavior.
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Etiquette can best see a person's attitude. If you can't even do etiquette well, others will probably be on guard!"
"This is too tiring! I still like that Li——" Wang Heihou said, but was immediately interrupted by Lu Changsheng.
"It's better not to mention that person, otherwise it will bring us trouble!"
He looked serious and glanced at a few people.
"The prefectural capital is not like the village. If you want to make a name for yourself, the first thing is not to talk too much! Wait for a year or two, and then you can talk about it when you have a good idea!"
Seeing that he was so serious, the three of them nodded.
"What should we do now?" Wang Heihou asked.
"Let's go out and see the situation later. Don't go into the city for the time being!" Lu Changsheng warned.
He looked at them for a few times and saw that the three of them had listened to his words, and he was relieved.
When you first arrive, the most fearful thing is to be reckless.
That Li Long is a bandit, and I'm afraid there is a reward for him in the government office. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, he will definitely get into trouble.
······
The extremely cold weather came much faster than expected.
It was only slightly cold the day before, but today, it felt very cold.
Fortunately, it was not snowing and the wind was light.
Lu Changsheng stood in the open space behind the house to practice archery.
These few days, there was no condition for practicing archery, and the progress slowed down greatly. Fortunately, it was only three or five days, so the impact was not great.
"It would be better for me to find a peaceful place for my golden finger!"
Unfortunately, it is difficult for people to do this in this world.
Wang Heihou and Niu Dazhuang have not come back yet. They are in better shape and run more diligently.
Li Nangua was in the house, practicing calligraphy with a wooden stick.
She has a strong learning ability. Lu Changsheng estimated that she is at least superior, just a little worse than himself.
A gust of cold wind blew, and he felt a chill all over his body. The arrow flew out of his hand and pierced a wall more than ten meters away, several meters away from the mark.
"Can I really live to 55 with my physique?" Lu Changsheng doubted in his heart, looked down at the light screen, and almost jumped up.
"Name: Lu Changsheng"
"Age: 10/54"
"Root bone: 2/10 [Genius (replaceable·Reading and recognizing characters)]"
······
"Shortened life!"
Took a deep breath and calmed the unrest in his heart.
"Bad news, or good news. At least, I know that life span will be shortened with the health of the body! The most urgent task is to find a martial art to restore health!"
Just thinking about it, Wang Heihou's voice came from the front room.
Turning back, I saw Wang Heihou and Niu Dazhuang walked in.
"Changsheng, I went to ask, it's too difficult to become a warrior!"
"The martial arts halls in the city require at least 10 taels of silver as a stepping stone, and it's not certain to succeed! There is no way for others!"
"What about gangs?"
"Gangs are not good either! There is no shortage of people like us now!"
Wang Heihou looked depressed. In order to find out the news, he paid two copper coins, otherwise, others would not tell him about it.
He knew the importance of money.
And Niu Dazhuang was obviously not as smart as Wang Heihou. He just walked around nearby and couldn't find out anything, but——
"I think I saw that Liang Hu!"
Lu Changsheng's expression moved slightly, and he asked Niu Dazhuang about his specific location.
