Chapter 42: Entering Shanyin City at night, gossip about the crisis
The heavy snow has stopped, but the lead clouds are hanging low and the wind is still there.
When the group came out of the south valley road, they saw wild awnings erected on the official road, several oxcarts sealing boxes and locking cabinets, and several fast horses snoring, their hooves trampling the snow to pieces.
A dozen strong men wearing felt hats and holding plain knives and horizontal swords stood or sat looking around. When they saw Wang Xuan and his party coming out of the valley, they immediately flew over and all clasped their fists and raised their hands: "Master Tang!"
Everyone has neat skills and sharp eyes.
Wang Xuan glanced at Tang Zixiong lightly, thoughtfully.
Although these people did not practice any magic, nor were they experts in refining Qi, they were all people who had trained their muscles and bones and were proficient in fists, feet, and weapons. Tang Zixiong was able to gather them together in a short period of time, and it was obvious that their energy was greater than he imagined.
Tang Zixiong was also a good person. When he saw Wang Xuan's eyes, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Wang. It's not easy to beg for food in the rivers and lakes. These brothers usually travel around to escort caravans, so they rarely show up in Yong'an City."
Wang Xuan looked calm: "These things have nothing to do with me."
It's no surprise to him that Tang Zixiong is ambitious.
It’s the lack of ambition that makes people wary!
This world is like this. Not everyone has the opportunity to join the Dharma lineage, not everyone comes from a noble family, and not everyone is content with mediocrity.
Who can have no desire for longevity, fame and wealth?
The court, the rivers and lakes, which one is not risking one's life...
There were only seven fast horses prepared. Wang Xuan and others got on the horses and galloped away, while the remaining people walked slowly behind to protect the ox cart.
Immediately, the cold wind howled, and the figures behind gradually disappeared.
Guo Luquan turned his head and glanced at me with a smile: "Tang Bantou, it's just a competition, why do you still let people move your belongings?"
Tang Zixiong cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Guo is a senior in the world, and I dare not hide it from you. I have already found out the details of the master of the Qucheng Hall, and I am bound to win it this time!"
Wang Xuan's eyes moved: "Tang Bantou will be in charge of Shanyin from now on?"
"That's right!"
Tang Zixiong took a deep breath and suddenly turned around and pointed behind him, "Captain Wang, what did you see?"
Wang Xuan turned sideways and turned his head, only to see the vast mountains and the south valley road hidden among them. If an outsider passed by, they would never think that Yong'an County was hidden inside.
Before Wang Xuan could speak, Tang Zixiong sighed: "Yong'an is too remote, like a well trapped in shallow water. Even a great hero can't achieve his ambition. Shanyin is rich in minerals, and there are official roads connecting the north and the south. Even the canal city has
The canal is an important road where three religions and nine streams converge."
"Tang has entered the world, but he doesn't want to die in eternal obscurity. I know that Wang Xiaowei has great ambitions, so it's better to find a way out of the predicament."
"Is it a dilemma..."
Wang Xuan smiled faintly and said nothing.
Xiaobai on his shoulder shook his wings, and an eagle soared into the sky...
…
As it was getting dark, everyone finally arrived at Shanyin County.
As its name suggests, Shanin City is built against the mountains, facing the plains, with three spacious official roads leading into the distance, and the mountains are filled with lights at night.
Different from Yong'an, Shanyin is much more prosperous. Most of the residents in the city work in the mines in the city, which promotes the prosperity of various industries and the constant flow of caravans every day.
Tang Zixiong looked at the county town in front of him, his eyes flashing, and he murmured: "Sanyin has copper, coal, and iron mines, but the original hall master only knew how to make money, but he was a complete fool..."
Wang Xuan didn't say anything. He turned over and dismounted and whistled. Afu suddenly jumped out of the darkness and kept circling around him.
This little guy has five viscera treasures. When he was stretching his muscles and bones, he ran as fast as a horse, but he consumed a lot of money and even caught a rabbit to eat along the way.
Guo Luquan smiled angrily and said: "Young man Tang, your great ambitions are your business. Now we just want to have a hot meal. Let's go to the city and stay in a hotel."
Tomorrow is the time for the Little New Year's Eve gambling competition, but there are many things to prepare, so everyone arrives a day early.
Tang Zixiong looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "I'll have to bear it for the next few years and make my seniors laugh. Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
After saying that, he immediately led everyone into the city.
Tang Zixiong had obviously been operating secretly here for a long time. Soldiers greeted them when they entered the city, and two men led everyone to a large house in the south city. As soon as they entered, they were served by servants, and the food and wine were fragrant.
After everyone was settled, Tang Zixiong cupped his hands and said: "Master Wang, this house is undisturbed and it is very quiet and elegant. I still have some things to deal with, so please rest."
Wang Xuan nodded: "Tang Bantou does what he wants."
Tang Zixiong clasped his fists and then disappeared into the night with his men. The servants in the small courtyard were also quite sensible and bowed down after serving a banquet.
The food and wine are not rich but they are exquisite. The steamed fish and roasted chicken are fragrant, and the rice vermicelli is delicious. The three of them have been on the road all day, and they wolf down everything they eat.
After filling his stomach, Guo Luquan suddenly snorted coldly while drinking a small drink: "This Xiao Tang is too ignorant. Even though he knows my name, Mr. Lu, he doesn't arrange to have a drink with me."
Zhang Heng chuckled: "Mr. Guo, let's do something. You'd better hold it in and be careful of the military law!"
"You idiot!"
Guo Luquan rolled his eyes, "The person named Tang is not from the same group as us. He is just here to support the party. Whether it can raise the mountain is his business. We can eat when we should, play when we should, and go home after watching the fun.
New Year."
Wang Xuan smiled calmly and nodded: "Mr. Guo is right. Although our Yong'an Military Mansion is small, we are not anyone's thugs. This time, we mainly want to teach Liu Mazi a lesson and ring a gong for the spring report."
After that, he looked at Guo Luquan and said, "Mr. Guo, is that true?"
"It should be right..."
Guo Luquan looked around and whispered: "The royal family controls the country, and aristocratic families serve as officials in the dynasty, and each controls the central and frontier armies. Everything was peaceful at first, but in recent years there have been continuous disasters and the treasury has become increasingly empty, so the emperor moved to seize the place.
Thoughts on land and property rights.”
"There are many doubts behind this incident involving the theft of the Divine Conferring Technique. The royal family thought it was a warning from the family, and the family suspected it was an excuse for the court to take action. Therefore, Dayan is like a volcano crater at the moment, and no one dares to move."
"However, the chaos in the world has become apparent, and the whereabouts of monsters everywhere are mysterious. Master Chen has been recalled to the academy. Before leaving, he asked me to tell you that the army of the Suppressing Evil Palace, which was not taken seriously in the past, has become the only one left alive. The day of its rise is not far away, but
There are many chess players, so I hope you can do your best."
After saying that with a bitter look on his face, "Jingyao Division has become a place of right and wrong. Old man, I hid in Yong'an Military Mansion. Mom, I really can't live anywhere..."
Zhang Heng sneered: "What are you afraid of? We will eat the benefits when they come, and chop our hands when they reach out. The brothers in the Yong'an Prefecture Army only recognize the King Flag!"
Wang Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing.
In my mind, the body-building fusion progress is: 32%.
…………
Although Old Man Guo was thinking about drinking flower wine, he was just talking about it.
The gambling fight at the Lion Tower in Sihaimen can be regarded as a major event in the nearby world. Shanyin City is now gathering a lot of people from all walks of life. Who knows if there are any evil cultivators mixed in, so they all go to bed early.
Before I knew it, the moon was in the middle of the sky.
The lights of hundreds of houses in the city have been extinguished, the watchmen carry lanterns and walk through the streets, the doors of the City God's Temple are open, and the Yin soldiers patrol at night, wrapping up the gloomy wind.
In the middle of the night, the little black boy lying on the ground moved his ears and suddenly growled.
Wang Xuan, who was on the bed, opened his eyes and turned over.
Chapter completed!
