Chapter 57: Farewell Jianghu Road

In the early morning breeze, the firewood crackled.

The Sihai Inn has been reduced to ruins, and corpses are sorted into different categories next to it. Thick smoke rises into the sky along with the smell of corpses, and jackdaws circle in the sky.

In this world, cleaning up the battlefield is an unspoken rule, especially in this official world. No one wants to have another ghost nest taking over in the coming year.

"There are nine heavens above and nine ghosts below. The heaven and earth are vast, with more suffering and less joy. The soul is scattered in the sky and the soul returns to the earth..." Old Man Guo shook the bell, his voice vicissitudes of life and far away.

The inheritance of the Yinmen comes from various funeral customs. Most of the "disaster masters" in the imperial court are from the Yinmen, and Old Man Guo is naturally good at this.

Several people in the Jin family class stood with their heads bowed, white streaks flying from their foreheads.

The strong man Chunsheng's eyes were confused: "Master, what should we do?"

"Needless to say, of course it's revenge!" Wu Dan said fiercely at the side.

Aunt Liu, the most enthusiastic person in the team, died, and Hu Zi, who had just started learning arts, also died. He was cut open alive and his heart was ripped out. The screams seemed to still echo in her ears, which made her heartbroken.

Jin Baichuan's face turned pale and he turned to look at the disciples behind him.

Some people had angry faces, some were lost, and more people shook their heads secretly at him, with fear still in their eyes.

After a long while, Jin Baichuan sighed, "Although it is said in the world that all grudges must be avenged, not all grudges can be washed away. You can't avenge me by following my teacher, so you can leave."

Wu Dan's eyes were tangled, "Master, then you..."

Jin Baichuan laughed tremblingly and said: "Although I am incompetent as a teacher, I still have no problem protecting others from begging for food. Chunni, after ten years of training, you are now a teacher!"

Wu Dan bit his lip, knelt down and banged his head a few times, stood up, turned around and strode away in the direction of Wang Xuan.

The strong man Chun Sheng looked at Wu Dan Chunni's back with worry. He opened his mouth without saying much, knelt down for a few times and then chased after her.

Watching the two people leaving, a disciple worriedly said: "Master, Brother Chunsheng and Sister Chunni are the pillars of the class, and they are gone..."

Jin Baichuan shook his head and smiled: "Everyone has his own way of gathering and parting. Qiusheng, it depends on you whether the Jin family class can eat in the future."

"Ah...yes, master."



"Master Wang, are you really dead?"

Meng Xiong chased Wang Xuan and confirmed again and again.

Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Dead, I personally saw the Chen family brothers holding Manager Zhao's head. Mr. Meng, please think about how to deal with this."

"A good death..."

Meng Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said with a low and wry smile: "Master Wang doesn't know something. After the gambling fight at the Lion House that day, Manager Zhao came from Fucheng to find Lao Meng and said that the military government was about to be reorganized.

The second brother of the Xiao family will send all the children to join in the training."

"To be honest, it's all the big shots' schemes. Lao Meng and I don't want to get involved, but I can't afford to offend him. I've suffered a lot along the way, and I'm afraid I'll be sidelined in the future."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I die, I will just resign and go back to my hometown to be a rich man..."

The words were spoken arrogantly, but Wang Xuan didn't believe a word of them.

Power and wealth have been indistinguishable since ancient times. Meng Xiong relied on his power to build up his fortune. Although his position as a school captain was small, without his skin to protect him, he didn't know how many wolves and vicious dogs would be attracted to him.

Sure enough, when Meng Xiong saw Wang Xuan's indifferent expression, he turned his eyes and said to please: "I heard that Mr. Wang has a good relationship with the third son of the Xiao family..."

Wang Xuan shook his head indifferently, "Wang doesn't know the Third Young Master."

Meng Xiong's face stiffened slightly, he smiled awkwardly and said, "In that case, Lao Meng will take his leave first. Mr. Wang, we will meet again in the city."

After saying that, he turned around with cold eyes and left quickly.

Looking at the retreating figure, Wang Xuan knew that he had offended the villain, but he didn't care.

He has been a human being for two lifetimes and has seen through many things.

Envy, jealousy, good intentions...anything can become an excuse for resentment. Life in this world is like walking alone in the wilderness. There are many villains, evil people and wolves blocking the way. He has a knife in his heart, and he has nothing to fear.

The third son of the Xiao family... Wang Xuan suddenly had an enlightenment in his heart.

Although Taiyin Gate is desolate, it is not easy to mess with.

By auctioning the "Taiyin Refining Diagram" by myself, I am afraid that I may have unintentionally accepted a favor and may also cause misunderstanding by others.

It seems that the aristocratic family has taken action. What will happen to the military government’s restructuring?

Just as he lowered his head in thought, footsteps sounded.

Wang Xuan looked up and saw a boy and a girl from the Jin family walking towards each other, clasping their fists and saying, "Sir Wang, we two want to join the Suppressing Evil Army, and we hope to take them in."

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, knowing the reason, "Want to take revenge? You are very skilled. You can just go by yourself. Why do you need to join the government army?"

The woman laughed miserably: "A small sect, a small sect, is alone."

"Sir, don't be surprised. We have already inquired about it in Shanyin. All the sergeants under your command have a grudge against the blood-robed bandits. Moreover, the blood-robed bandits have already gained momentum. Now that they have appeared in Bingzhou, there will be a battle in the future."

"Oh, I have some knowledge."

Only then did Wang Xuan discover that this woman was none other than Wu Dan, a flower girl in the Lion House that night. She had a gorgeous face when she put on make-up, but after taking off her make-up, her facial features were just straight.

"What are your names?"

"My wife, Du Chunsheng, this is my sister Du Chunni."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly and looked towards the mountains in the distance.

"If you want to follow, just follow. After the trip to Fucheng, if I am still the captain of the Fucheng Army, it will not be too late to join..."

…………

Bingzhou is mountainous, but the southern plain is vast.

It is nourished by canals that come from Tiandu Longshou Mountain, and there is also an official road connecting Huaizhou, Qinzhou on the left, and Minzhou on the right. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Kangyuan City is located on the edge of the canal. This ancient city has experienced countless wars and reconstructions for thousands of years. Business and trade have become more and more prosperous, forming a checkerboard pattern with thousands of households and hundreds of squares.

At the beginning of the first month, when the rivers were frozen and unsealed, ships from all over Dayan began to shuttle back and forth, and the docks were even more crowded with people.

On the straight official road leading to Beicheng, there are also endless carriages and horses as far as the eye can see.

Wang Xuan and his party were also among them.

After the battle that night, in order to prevent accidents, they cleaned up the bodies and left quickly together. Along with them was not only the Jin family class, but also the manager of the Sihai Inn, who was saying goodbye at this moment.

Over there, the Du family brothers and sisters watched the Jin family group heading towards the dock.

Kangyuan, the capital of Fucheng, is home to hundreds of arts and crafts. With the current strength of the Jin family, it is impossible to gain a foothold, so they simply took a boat to Huaizhou and started over.

On this side, the owner of the Sihai Inn solemnly raised his hands and said: "The blood-clothed thieves' surprise attack has a big conspiracy behind it. I must report it to the main hall immediately. Wang Xiaowei's life-saving grace will be rewarded generously in the future."

As he said that, he looked around and whispered: "Captain Wang, the restructuring of the military government may cause great changes in the entire Yan Dynasty. During this report, there will be a major purge, and Captain Wang needs to make preparations in advance.

"

"The Great Purge?!"

Wang Xuan was startled, and just as he was about to ask more questions, he saw the old shopkeeper cupping his hands and quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Zhang Heng snorted coldly, "This old guy is dishonest. He said he wanted to repay his kindness, but he was half-secret about it and didn't even mention his own name."

The owner of the Sihaimen Inn only said his surname was Yuan along the way and kept silent about the rest. He was like an invisible person in the team, which made Zhang Heng very unhappy.

"What do you know, you idiot..."

Guo Luquan narrowed his eyes, "The Sihaimen branches are loose, the main hall is mysterious, and the rules are strict. I am afraid that this person is a spy from the main hall. Sir, it seems that the purge is true."

"Not urgent…"

Wang Xuan's face was cold, "Enter the city first and ask Captain Zhao to inquire."

"Yeah…"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Captain Zhao has been friends with my family for generations, so I'm afraid of a general purge!"

After that, the group of people followed the flow of people and entered Kangyuan City.

At this time, Kangyuan City was preparing for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Craftsmen in every city and street built huge lampstands, and many Jianghu entertainers entered the warm-up venue in advance, including monkey charmers and illusionists...it was dazzling. The streets were crowded with people and noisy.

They had all stayed in Fucheng before and had no intention of watching the excitement. They hurried to Captain Zhao's mansion in Beicheng. However, what they saw in front of them shocked everyone.
