Chapter 404: Cornucopia, evil people, double eyes that can see cause and effect(1/3)

 Tianyunzi dusted off the dust on his plain robe and walked to the tea shed next to the official road.

Since the saint ascended the throne and established the dynasty, in addition to promulgating imperial edicts and establishing nine borders, he also ordered the minister of the Ministry of Industry to spend 20% of the tax every year to build the official roads and inns of the forty-eight mansions.

It can extend in all directions, make government orders swift, and ensure the delivery of military supplies and tributes.

Therefore, there are countless inns in the world, probably over ten thousand.

The official roads leading to various prefectures and states have also become the livelihood of ordinary people.

There are often relatives or disabled old soldiers at the post station who simply set up a shed and sell some thirst-quenching tea.

"Old man, give me a bowl of hot tea."

For some reason, Tianyunzi, who came to the pass from outside the pass, had a gentle voice and took out two big coins.

A striking figure like him will attract attention wherever he goes.

There is no way, who can tell this skinned remnant of the Holy Alliance to show off his appearance, demeanor and grace, all of which are of the highest quality.

If the qi and blood are not thin and don't show up on the outside, they won't look like a master in exercising their muscles and bones.

Even if you claim to be a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain and Laojun Sect, I believe you can deceive many people from all walks of life.

"Okay, Taoist Master, wait a minute."

The owner of the tea shed is a lame old man, with several scars on his weather-beaten face.

Most of them were veterans who had retired from the border and were taken care of by the post and allowed to make some food to support themselves.

"My husband, this tea is good. It's piping hot and my hands and feet are warm."

Tianyunzi seems to have no idea what life is, and he can start a conversation just by opening his mouth.

"How about another bowl, Mr. Xiaodao?"

The lame old soldier laughed and said.

"The water for making tea is brought from Fuyun Mountain by this young man."

Tianyunzi touched the money bag and said sarcastically:

"One bowl is enough."

How can outsiders carry yellow and white things?

He held the rough porcelain bowl in his hands as if to keep warm, and breathed out a white breath.

Although early spring has arrived, the chill still lingers.

Except for the escort team that passed by just now and a few fast horses, it was rare to see people on the official road.

Furthermore, ahead is the Qinhu Pass in Fuyun Mountain. Even if you want to take a rest, you should go there.

Therefore, the business of this tea shed is not very good.

A lonely old soldier, guarding the copper stove that boils water, sitting from day to night, may not be able to make a hundred bucks.

"Bring a pot of hot tea and some dishes of fennel beans."

A few more gangsters walked into the teahouse with knives in hand. They glanced at Tianyunzi and found that his cultivation was ordinary, so they didn't pay attention.

They placed their knives heavily on the wooden table and spoke in rough voices, as if they could not show their generosity otherwise!

"Brother Zhou, I heard that Qin Tianjian has released the results, and Tianjing City has one share. You just came from Daming Mansion. Do you have any more reliable news?"

A lean man with protruding cheekbones and an intense look in his eyes. All Jianghu people want in their lives is nothing but fame and fortune.

Especially when the imperial court exerts pressure on the world, warriors who have no way to enter the palace, or who are unwilling to be restrained.

If you think about pursuing fame and wealth as before, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

When Jing Chao rode his horse across the rivers and lakes, he set many rules, one of which was that no one should use force to break the ban.

After that, another enemy came to challenge him rashly, but the other party was unwilling to accept the challenge and directly reported it to the officials to have him arrested.

Such ridiculous things are not uncommon.

There was also a young man who had just come out of the martial arts world. He wanted to ride his horse for pleasure, but ended up colliding with the post road and was killed in public. His head was hung on the city wall!

It can be said that Jing Chao used extremely bloody and tough methods to teach today's Jianghu people what it means to fear the king's law.

Now I want to truly become famous, shock the prefecture, and become a new upstart in the martial arts world.

There is only one way, and that is to fight against the Four Seas and Nine States in the Martial Arts Hall.

Choose a suitable day, write a bellicose letter, submit it to your peers, and compete in the presence of the court.

As long as you perform well enough, you will be included in Qintianjian's gold list.

Many military nobles and famous families like to choose outstanding talents from there, either to win over them, to train them, or to recruit their wives, and so on.

It is similar to the so-called catching a son-in-law during the Song Dynasty when literary style was popular.

The man surnamed Zhou, with his temples slightly bulging and eyes twinkling, is obviously a leader and a big brother.

He took a sip of hot tea, threw a few fennel beans into his mouth, chewed it, and said slowly:

"Of course there is. I got the gold list of Qintian Prison from a small flag in Fusi, Beizhen."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else was flattering and praising the man named Zhou for his great ability. Even Beizhen Fusi had connections.

"Brothers, don't be impatient. This golden list is divided into a main list and a deputy list. The main list is Shanhe, Qianlong, and Youfeng.

The deputy list is Jinghua, Fuzhou, and Zhentong.

The magic soldiers, beauties, and other gimmicks below."

The man surnamed Zhou said carefully.

"We can't wait to see the list of mountains and rivers that includes great masters, and it's all in vain.

It’s full of Qi Sea True Gang, and it’s only half a step away from breaking through the Hidden Dragon List in the fifth realm, so there’s no need to care.

Just take a look at this young master’s budding performance, and it’s almost done.”

Tianyunzi drank the hot tea that was gradually getting colder and suddenly laughed. It was rare to express his lack of money in such a fresh and refined way.

"Little Taoist priest, why are you laughing?"

Seeing the displeasure on Brother Zhou's face, the gangsters who were running the single gang quickly turned their heads and glanced at him, making a fierce look.

"Pindao just thought of something funny, he had no other intention. Don't be offended by the heroes."

Tianyunzi smiled, as if humans and animals were harmless.

"Humph!"

After hearing that "hero", those Jianghu talents did not pursue the case.

This is not the time in the past when a common man would get angry, take steps with blood, draw a sword and kill someone after a disagreement.

Now using weapons recklessly in broad daylight is to catch the Yamen and give him a slap in the face.

"Brother, don't be as knowledgeable as the little Taoist priest, let's continue talking."

The man surnamed Zhou was chewing fennel beans and glanced sideways at Tianyunzi, seemingly disdainful.

Then, he said slowly:

"This year's baby phoenix list has changed a lot.

Missing is Xu Huaiying from Zhenwu Mountain. He was originally ranked 19th, but now his name has been cancelled.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It is said that he had a private meeting with the third lady of the Duke of Liang's palace, which unfortunately attracted evil spirits.

In addition, Yu Erlang from the Korean Government moved forward eight places and ranked tenth.

Qin Tianjian’s comment is, “Five Tigers and Seven Bears, Xiao Junhou is worthy of his name!

The first three, the two students from Shangyin and Jixia from the Confucian sect, Gongyangxiu and Xu Wuxing, broke through the fourth heaven and moved to Qianlongbang.

Nie Renying, who ranked third, became the leader.

He is the second son of Baishan Sword King Zhuang Nie Tunwu. He once used Bei Aoba Jue to attack the Fourth Heaven and behead Du Tong who dominated the fort."

Those few unknown people in the world were all filled with excitement when they heard these great names.

"Nie Renying ranks first in Youfeng, who is second and third?"

Someone asked.

"Second is one of Liang Guogong's adopted sons, Pang Jun, the 'Divine Fist' of the Thirteen Taibao!

As for the third place, you may not believe it, but he is a young man who has not yet reached the championship.

Last year, this person had no name and was not even listed on the Beijing Capital Ranking.

Then in just half a year, he took the lead in Daming Mansion and was unrivaled in the limelight!

Now he has reached the sky in one step, jumping from the supplementary album to the main album, becoming the third-ranked genius in one fell swoop!"

The man surnamed Zhou spoke in a complicated tone, seemingly filled with envy and awe, and said slowly:
