Chapter 103: First Arrival at Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory
Five young people from the Five City Alliance were preparing to join the scale-armored Shark Guard of the Northern Region Blue Port. The Northern Region Blue Port sent a manager to lead the way, but the manager was extremely shameless and greedy for money. He extorted and blackmailed the money halfway, and even robbed him. This manager was very powerful. Several young people from the Five City Alliance resisted and stopped him easily. Zhou Jin, who couldn't bear to see, fought head-on with the manager Liu Guangyuan, and beat the shameless man to a loss!
Everyone looked at Zhou Jin forward in amazement. They were already shocked by Zhou Jin's domineering and fierce attack. These young people from the Five Cities Alliance did not expect that Liu Guangyuan from the Northern Region Blue Port would be so strong, and they did not expect that Zhou Jin would be even stronger.
Standing behind, Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family, looked more and more serious. The martial arts realm that Liu Guangyuan showed just now made him know that he could not win even if he did it himself. Zhou Jin's victory further showed Zhou Jin's strength.
He fell down twice and kicked away once. Zhou Jin was actually quite responsible. If he really wanted to kill someone, Liu Guangyuan would have been dead when he fell for the first time.
Just because he held back, when Zhou Jin walked in front of Liu Guangyuan, the manager of the Northern Region Blue Port had already woken up, but he was sober and could no longer fight back, and he couldn't even stand up. Looking at Zhou Jin approaching, Liu Guangyuan looked terrified and tried desperately to retreat.
But at this moment, he could not make any big moves, so he could only squirm and retreat. If he was quick just now, he was like a flying snake and a moray eel, at this moment he was like an ugly insect.
"Do you think your level is the same as mine. If you have accumulated more than me for decades, you are better than me?" Zhou Jin asked coldly, raising his right hand.
His right hand pointed to the sword, and Liu Guangyuan trembled all over. It seemed that when he saw Zhou Jin pulling his sword out of the sheath, he was frightened and froze all over. Fortunately, his tongue did not stiffen. Liu Guangyuan shouted out loud: "Young Master Zhou, it's me... It's the little one who is blind, the little one is confused, the little one will never dare to do it again. Young Master, spare your life, young Master!"
Zhou Jin still waved his sword, and Liu Guangyuan screamed louder, which sounded no longer like a human voice. Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family who was watching the game, was calm from beginning to end, but he couldn't help but cover his ears in front of the scream.
At the moment when the palm sword was slashed, Liu Guangyuan felt that he was about to be split into two pieces from head to toe. At this moment, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, but Liu Guangyuan immediately reacted. Before he had become two, his body trembled, but the light armor on his body broke from neatly to the crotch of his lower body.
Zhou Jin's cutting power was so precise that Liu Guangyuan's clothes were cut open from the middle, but there was no trace of blood on his skin.
"Internal strength and internal strength are different. I am stronger than you!" Zhou Jin stared at Liu Guangyuan and said.
Liu Guangyuan escaped from death and was stared at by Zhou Jin's eyes. He couldn't help but shivered again. His clothes were cracking to both sides, making him look ugly.
Zhou Jin stood up straight and looked down at Liu Guangyuan and said, "Blue Port and five cities have an alliance, which will be of great benefit to both sides. Even if I really kill you, do you think Blue Port will care? At worst, I won't go to the scaled shark guard, but I don't want to ruin the two families for a villain like you. Do you understand?"
The Five Cities Alliance needs the support of Beiyu Blue Port, but after the alliance, Beiyu Blue Port also gained its own benefits. In such a situation, a deacon was killed by the son of the other leader, which was really possible.
After Liu Guangyuan understood this, he trembled again and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Zhou Jin glanced at him in disgust and said, "Get up and lead the way quickly, you have been wasting too much time."
After saying that, Zhou Jin turned around and waved his hand and said, "Go and clean up, we must hurry up!"
"Zhu...Zhun!" The young people who had been watching the game quickly agreed. They were shocked by the competition just now and subconsciously regarded Zhou Jin's words as an order.
Zhou Jin had just started a fierce move, but he did not aim at the vital point. With Liu Guangyuan's martial arts realm, he could soon recover. Liu Guangyuan struggled to stand up, his clothes completely fell off, and his whole body was naked. Everyone who saw this scene on both sides of the aisle laughed.
From the time of departure to the present, the young people in the Five Cities Alliance have regarded Manager Liu as an incredible person, but the scene just now made Liu Guangyuan completely become a clown.
Liu Guangyuan looked at Zhou Jin's back with resentment, but happened to meet Zhou Jin and turned around. When the two of them looked at each other, Liu Guangyuan trembled all over and hurriedly lowered his head and ran back to his room.
Zhou Jin would not take such a clown to heart at all. He walked to Chi Dameng and sat upright in the aisle since just now, but with Chi Dameng's temperament, how could he not watch the fierce fight just now?
Chi Dameng now looked excited and happy. Seeing Zhou Jin coming, Chi Dameng's expression turned into gratitude and respect. He endured the pain and said sternly: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for standing up for me. I will listen to whatever Brother Zhou said in the future!"
Zhou Jin smiled and reached out to put Chi Dameng's neck. After feeling it a little, he took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out two pills and handed it to Chi Dameng, and said, "I suffered an external injury. After taking the injury medicine, I will be fine after one Zhou Tian's exercise!"
Chi Dameng hurriedly thanked him, and after taking the medicine, he began to calm down his mind. Zhou Jin turned into Zheng Douluo's room again. Zheng Douluo's face turned a little blue and he was sitting cross-legged. Zhou Jin stepped forward and touched Zheng Douluo's medicinal door. He frowned, raised his right hand and slapped Zheng Douluo's chest.
Zheng Douluo's face, who was meditating with his eyes closed, immediately showed a look of pain, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out. Strangely, after the mouthful of blood was spurted out, Zheng Douluo's expression was weak, but he had returned to normal levels.
Zhou Jin poured out two more pills of injury and handed them over, and said, "Your blood stasis has melted, and you will be cured after taking the medicine!"
Liu Guangyuan took action hard and fast just now, but he had the intention of showing off his might and did not kill him. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the Northern Region Blue Port when he returned, so his injuries would be controlled soon.
But Zheng Douluo was shocked. He was not because Zhou Jin had cured his injuries, but because he could hear the movement in the corridor just now. Zhou Jin actually easily defeated Liu Guangyuan.
Zheng Douluo looked down on Liu Guangyuan all the way, but when he was fighting, he knew the other party's strength. He just heard those voices. Zheng Douluo thought it was an illusion. When he saw Zhou Jin appearing safely in front of him, he realized that it was true.
After seeing this scene, Zheng Douluo truly realized Zhou Jin's strength. He remembered that he was not convinced when he first met, and Zheng Douluo felt extremely ashamed.
After curing the two wounded people, Zhou Jin returned to his room to pack his luggage. After the fierce battle, some of the inn had become ragged, but it was also easy to deal with. Young people from his side had already taken out money to pay the bills, and now they finally realized who they should be cursing for.
Zhou Jin ignored everything that happened outside, and he finally understood what the old man said on the mysterious island.
"You are different from them!" It is indeed very different. At the same level of strength, Zhou Jin's reply speed is faster and there is no need to pause when making moves, so he can continue to attack like a storm. And at the same level of strength, Zhou Jin's strength is stronger! Although it is only a little stronger.
For some reason, Zhou Jin always thought of this, and the vibrant soil and the dense grass growing on it. Compared with the previous yellow sand and yellow soil, this soil has more green grass and is connected into one by the roots of the dense turf.
In the past, when a punch was hit, the power surged, and it required a very short moment of return. This moment was very short, but the enemy would still be caught in the gap in the battle. Now that this moment disappeared, you can continuously issue a call. Zhou Jin swung forward and then retracted it and punched continuously, with extremely smooth movements.
After leaving the inn and setting off again, the situation was different from yesterday. Liu Guangyuan, who was declining in complexion, walked alone in front, while others were surrounded by Zhou Jin.
However, Zhou Jin was still riding a horse quietly, and the young people didn't know how to get close, but they all realized one thing: who the strongest person is and who is worth flattering. As for Liu Guangyuan, like a stray dog, no one paid attention to it.
"Brother Zhou, will this mischievous thing make it difficult for us to enter the scaled shark guard!" Qiu Wenwei was more steady than everyone else. Thinking of the consequences, he asked in a low voice.
Zhou Jin shook his head and replied, "He is a deacon. All he can do is take us there. He will not be able to make any decisions next. As for small moves, he will definitely do it. Even if we don't pay much attention to him in the morning, we will hold a grudge like this."
Qiu Wenwei was also confident in his strength and didn't care about any small moves. After listening to Zhou Jin's analysis, he felt relieved and smiled and continued to follow him.
After leaving Blackstone City, you can see peaks on both sides of the road, but not long after leaving today, after walking out of a mountain pass, your vision suddenly became wider.
Not only was the view wider, but the wind was also stronger. Without the cover of the mountains, you could naturally feel the fishy sea breeze. Everyone's mood became much more refreshed. They continued to ride horses. It was almost lunch time. The road Zhou Jin and the others took joined with several other major roads. There were more business travelers on the road, and everyone's destination or departure was the Northern Region Blue Port.
Seeing this lively scene, Zhou Jin's expression was calm, while others showed a look of surprise. Seeing their expressions, Zhou Jin sighed in his heart that the young people in the Five Cities Alliance had never seen the world.
Such a prosperous road made the young people in the Five Cities Alliance have no intention of having lunch. After a simple meal, they continued to set off. After walking for less than an hour, they saw the periphery of the Northern Region Blue Port.
This place is different from the Five City Alliance. There are no tall city walls and fortifications, and various buildings such as private houses, shops, and warehouses are displayed in front of people.
"Aren't they afraid of pirates and horse thieves, or foreign enemies?" a young man whispered.
From a distance, the huge city of Beiyu Blue Port unscrupulously shows its prosperity without any protection.
In fact, by this time, there is no wasteland on both sides of the road, including manors of all sizes, and inns of various grades. It can be seen that the scale of the Northern Region Blue Port is so large that even Zhou Jin, who had been here, was amazed in his heart.
In the past, I followed Yuntianzong to travel around the world and saw the prosperity of the world. When I passed by Blue Port in the Northern Region, I didn’t feel any difference. But after staying in Blackstone City for so long, when I came to this Blue Port Giant City, I really felt the hugeness here.
Even if the five cities of the five cities are combined, they are not as good as the area of Blue Port, and their prosperity is far less than that of the country.
Zhou Jin did not expose his emotions to others, but instead explained to his companions with a smile: "The Northern Region Blue Port is open to business and does not set up any city walls that block traffic. He is also afraid that these limitations will hinder the expansion and development of the city. However, without protection does not mean that he is at slaughter. In fact, the Northern Region Blue Port has eliminated all the pirates and bandits around, and has powerful forces like the scaled shark guard. In addition to the scaled shark guard, all the forces in their city also have their own arms."
After hearing the explanation, everyone was shocked by the thoughts. After describing this, looking at the bustling giant city ahead, they suddenly had an intuitive understanding of the strength here.
Not to mention the young people who were unfamiliar to this place, even Liu Guangyuan, who was walking in front of him in disgrace, looked back in surprise. He was extremely surprised and wondered how could Zhou Jin come out of a countryside, know so much.
Chi Dameng looked around curiously, and suddenly asked, "Brother, since the Northern Region Blue Port is so powerful, why not destroy the Black Blood Yellow Sand Horse Thieves?"
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Because there is our Five Cities Alliance in the middle, and those horse thieves are also doing business with Blue Port. Before there is a real conflict, Blue Port will not be able to get over money."
Everyone came to Blue Port to participate in this scaled shark guard, which was somewhat related to the black-blooded yellow-sand horse thief, but they didn't expect that Blue Port was doing business with the other party. They felt uncomfortable for a moment, but they thought about it carefully but had no reason to refute it.
The atmosphere became a little silent, and everyone continued to rush forward, but Zhou Jin didn't expect that there was still some analysis. Beiyu Blue Port has never attacked the black-blooded yellow sand horse thief. On the one hand, he did not want to suffer both sides, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use him to oppress the Five-City Alliance, which has always claimed to be in the situation. However, there is no need to consider the entanglement of interests.
I have seen the edge of the city from afar and feel that the distance is very close, but in fact the distance is very far. It is only when the sun is almost west that I truly enter this city.
It is not right to say that there is no city defense. There is a 100-step open space between the area of the real city and the periphery. There are fortress posts on the fixed interval of the open space. You can see warrior soldiers on duty there.
But what attracted everyone's attention was a sculpture. This sculpture was two feet tall on the edge of the avenue where the city was entered. It was a huge sword. The guard of the sword was carved into the shape of lightning, and the sword also had electric patterns on its body, which looked like a solemn and powerful aura.
The young man from the Five City Alliance looked at him in a daze, and the locals proudly introduced him: "This is the statue of Tianlei Killing and Slashing. Do you know that this sword will come first before our Blue Port!"
The man who spoke was not young, seemed to have drunk some wine, and talked endlessly, saying that in the past, demons were raging here, and a great hero held this sword and killed the demons, so this place became a harbor for the people to recuperate. The hero left, but the sword remained and passed down from generation to generation.
When Zhou Jin heard this, he remembered the bracelet that had already been buried in his wrist. It seemed that there was also a saying, saying that there was a black stone bracelet first, and then there was a Black Stone City. It seemed that the legends everywhere were similar.
Liu Guangyuan did not continue to lead everyone forward, but stopped here. When Zhou Jin frowned and looked over, Liu Guangyuan explained in panic: "I am responsible for bringing you here and someone will take you there."
After the panic was explained, Liu Guangyuan reacted. He raised his eyebrows and raised his voice and said, "What's the rampant boy? This is the Northern Region Blue Port, but..."
The voice of his speech became less and less. Under Zhou Jin's faint gaze, Liu Guangyuan was not confident and could not help but think of the battle between the two sides in the morning. Thinking of Zhou Jin's violent and quick boxing, he immediately did not dare to say anything. He just gritted his teeth there, turned his head and whispered: "It's still rampant to come here, wait for me!"
Zhou Jin was too lazy to pay attention to such a jumping clown. Except for Qiu Wenwei who was quite steady, everyone else was looking around. Some people even said: "I didn't expect this place to be so prosperous. I used to think that our Yutu City was the best place."
Zhou Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. How autistic is these people? Has no one been here in just two days?
Before long, I saw someone riding a horse in the direction of the city, and the two knights were wearing gray scales, and there was a pattern of fish fins on the left side of the scales.
The two knights shouted from afar: "Are you from the Northern Region Blue Port ahead?"
Liu Guangyuan immediately responded loudly, and the two gray-armored knights stopped here. Liu Guangyuan took out a token from his arms and raised it, and said, "Liu Guangyuan, the deacon under the Presbyterian Church, led the fifteen members of the Five Cities Alliance to come."
The two knights looked up at the token, nodded, took out a document from the saddle bag and handed it to Liu Guangyuan, and said, "Deacon Liu wrote down his name, and we will take over next!"
Liu Guangyuan immediately signed with a charcoal pen. After the knight tore the document apart and handed it to Liu Guangyuan, he turned around and said to Zhou Jin and his group, "My name is Wang Zhenghu, I am the deputy of the Scale Group Seventh Team. I will pick you up into the camp. You will follow my arrangements next, let's follow me first!"
After saying that, they turned the horses and walked towards the city. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then followed. Liu Guangyuan next to them stared at everyone fiercely, and turned around and left helplessly.
The young people from the Five City Alliance breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Although Zhou Jin's analysis was reasonable, everyone was very uneasy. They thought that when they came to the Northern Region Blue Port, it would be a problem if Liu Guangyuan wanted to take revenge. However, they did not expect that everything was the same as Zhou Jin said. Deacon Liu, who was boasting about himself, did not pay any attention to it. Thinking of this, everyone admired Zhou Jin a little more.
Wang Zhenghu and his companions were both cold in their attitudes, but there were certain procedures to lead the newcomers into the camp, so Wang Zhenghu began to introduce them halfway.
"The two thousand people in the scale are divided into twenty teams, each team has two deputy team members and one team leader. In the past two months, the scale armored shark guards have recruited new blood. Each team has arranged for the team leader and deputy team to come out to pick up people." The introduction was very brief, and after saying a few words, I will not say it again.
Zhou Jin listened very carefully. He and Yun Tianzong did not find out these details, but the others did not focus on this. Everyone looked around and was amazed at the market in Beiyu Blue Port.
Most of the streets are on both sides of shops, and guests wearing various costumes are in and out. There are also many people from all over the northern region, from the southern region, and there are even indigenous barbarians on the sea and a few wild lands. They can't see these in the Five Cities Alliance.
When these young people just waited, they thought the edge was extremely prosperous. When they came here, they realized that they were making jokes. However, they also realized that they had not entered the center of the city. If the city was prosperous, everyone was looking forward to it.
Among the young people who came, they were all young men from various aristocratic families of the Five Cities Alliance, and also the son of the city lord. They were not short of money and had a lot of fun. A few of them had already gathered together to discuss whether they would come to the streets tomorrow to have fun.
Zhou Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that there is no benefit in seclusion among the five cities, but these people have never seen the world. Then he thought that he and people like Qiu Wenwei, Zheng Douluo and Chi Dameng must practice martial arts diligently every day and have no time to go out. While others are young and have a low level of martial arts, they may not be at ease to come out at home, and it is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jin noticed that the team's deputy Wang Zhenghu turned around and glanced, with a mockery on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of contempt, and then he turned his head.
Zhou Jin's thoughts were interrupted by this contempt. He discovered something. Liu Guangyuan had a low status and was arrogant and domineering along the way. Zhou Jin didn't think too much at the time, just thinking that the negotiations could not send too many people to work hard. Moreover, Liu Guangyuan himself was bad, but Wang Zhenghu also had this cold attitude. Combining the front and back, it means that the Northern Region Blue Port probably did not pay as much attention to people like him as expected.
The Northern Region Blue Port has such a huge force. The Five City Alliance is only on one of its business roads. There are more than one business roads. In addition to land roads, there are also sea routes and ports, and all kinds of forces. In this way, the Five City Alliance does not have much capital worthy of attention.
It seems that joining the scaled shark guard and the next road is not as easy as I thought. Although Zhou Jin was thinking of this, he was not worried or discouraged at all.
Chapter completed!
