Chapter 66: The Plague—Yunzhou, a young man
Yunzhou.
Since ancient times, Yunzhou has been an important hub for trade between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Central Plains and the West. Influenced by the Central Plains and the West, the architectural style of Yunzhou is very different from that of the Central Plains. In Yunzhou City, you can meet all kinds of people, even other people.
Races can also find a place here.
An endless stream of merchants shuttle on the main roads in Yunzhou City. Some want to take root here, and some are just passers-by. Yunzhou is changing every day. It is no exaggeration to say that when you wake up, you may
You will find that Yunzhou has changed. But no matter how Yunzhou changes in the past thousand years, one thing has never changed, and that is the owner of Yunzhou City.
Yunzhou Mo family, this family that has ruled Yunzhou for thousands of years, has a prestige in the Western Region that is unmatched by the Liang royal family. As a family that has never had an ascended immortal in its ancestors, the Mo family can maintain its status in such an extremely important node in Yunzhou.
The thousand-year reign is truly puzzling.
In Yunzhou, the Mohist laws were even more effective than the court's instructions. The people may dare to disobey the court's instructions, but no one dares to violate the Mohist rules. The Mohists stipulate that everyone who comes to Yunzhou must dismount and move forward.
Except for members of the Mohist family, no one was allowed to ride in the city, and those who violated the rules would have their feet cut off.
Even when the envoy from Daliang came to Yunzhou, he strictly abided by this rule of the Mohist family. What is even more interesting is that after Xiao Jing learned the news later, instead of blaming the Mohist family for their arrogance, he actually rewarded the Mohist family with a lot of gold.
Yin Caibao. Of course, after this incident, the Mohist family also took the initiative to write a letter to accuse them, saying that they had no choice but to do so, because once the rules were broken, some people would dare to question the authority of the Mohist family. In order to maintain the rule of the Mohist family, they must do this
Treat everyone equally.”
Moreover, the Mohist family also confessed that they did not intend to offend Emperor Liang. Since that day, they had been frightened and lived in panic. After learning that Xiao Jing was so magnanimous, everyone in the Mohist family admired the emperor's benevolence.
Along with the confession, in addition to fifteen carts of treasures from the Western Regions and ten carts of treasures from heaven and earth, there were also two thousand peerless horses.
In addition to being an important trade hub, Yunzhou also has the largest horse farm in Daliang. After thousands of years of cross-breeding, Yunzhou's horses perfectly combine the excellent genes of horses from the West, Central China, Central Plains, Northland, and Plateau.
, every horse bred is a first-class peerless horse. If Daliang wants to fight with Beidi, it is indispensable for excellent war horses, and the best horses in the world all come from Yunzhou, so only the excellent stallions from Yunzhou can be used to fight.
Only by mating with beams can you obtain a large number of high-quality war horses.
.......
Under the intersection of moonlight and firelight, the stone wolf statue seemed to be given life. The stone wolf figure reflected on the wall seemed to come alive, jumping back and forth on the wall, silently roaring at every direct gaze.
It echoed in the hearts of those who saw it, and although no sound could be heard, it made people feel an inexplicable fear.
Below the stone wolf, two people were fighting hard in the training room. The sound of iron boots stamping on the floor shook the ears of the attendants on the side. Every step the two people took was filled with pain.
So fast but full of power, parries and counterattacks were constantly staged between the two. As the competition progressed, the speed of the two became faster and faster. Afterimages flashed across the venue, and the sound of metal collisions
resounded throughout the hall.
It was only when the two people stopped to calm down that they could see their faces clearly. One of the duelists was a thin, middle-aged man with disheveled hair. He wore an exquisite soft armor on his upper body and a
Wearing a pair of loose trousers, although his breathing was somewhat rapid at the moment, his eyes were still as sharp as a tiger's.
His opponent is much younger and looks like an underage boy. Compared to the middle-aged man, the boy's situation is much better. For him, this competition has just begun. He is soaked in sweat.
The boy's luxurious jacket was different from the black nobles who admired black. The color of the boy's jacket was a rare purple-red. He didn't like the dull and depressing black. In his opinion, those noble nobles were too old-fashioned.
.(Well, Hengliu actually likes black the most)
The silver stripes on his shirt also showed that he was different from the Liang nobles. A gold-plated dragon pattern belt with gorgeous inscriptions was tied around his waist with a wolf head buckle. Even during the duel, the boy still tried his best to maintain his posture.
With the demeanor that a noble should have.
The boy has a handsome face with sharp edges, and his movements are full of the elegance that a noble blood should have. His noble blood has given him an arrogant personality, and his eyes and raised corners of his mouth reveal his excessive self-confidence.
This kind of self-confidence or arrogance is something he is born with, and it is an absolute self-confidence that cannot be cultivated.
However, when the boy was fighting, the painting style changed again. The aristocratic elegance no longer disappeared, replaced only by the most primitive slashing. The boy's swordsmanship and the middle-aged man's style were completely different, one was gorgeous and elegant, the other
Brutal and direct.
Every powerful slash the boy makes is full of passion. The boy in the battle is like an energetic young lion, as if he never feels tired, waving the sword in his hand again and again. The boy relies on himself
His extraordinary agility neutralized the opponent's attacks one by one, but dodging the boy's attacks was extremely difficult for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man used his skill to deflect the boy's powerful blow and then smiled and said to the boy, "This blow is indeed powerful enough, and the feint before was also very good."
"Huh! I'm not just running around like you." The boy retorted very unconvincingly, and then launched a more intense offensive.
Although the middle-aged man struggled, he still blocked all the boy's moves. After grabbing a loophole in the boy's body, he quickly stabbed the boy in the chest. Seeing this, the boy turned sideways to avoid this seemingly inevitable sword strike.
, after dodging, the boy immediately followed the same pattern and hit his opponent with a blow.
The middle-aged man easily swung the boy's sword away with his sword blade and looked at the young guy with approval, "Your learning ability is as abnormal as ever. It would be great if you could learn more swordsmanship."
"If I know everything, then what else in this world do I need to learn?"
The man frowned when he heard the boy's arrogant words. Then he came in front of the boy in an instant and stepped on the boy's boot. Upon seeing this, the boy hurriedly prepared to retreat, but was delayed for half a second because his foot was stepped on.
, in just half a second, the man's sword was already pressed against the boy's abdomen.
"Young Master Mo Si, is this what you said about not needing to study?"
But before the man finished speaking, he saw the boy's sword already placed on his neck, "Yan Fu, if this was a life and death duel, you would already be dead."
Yan Fu looked at the talented but unwilling young master in front of him and sighed helplessly, "Young Master Mo Si, what if your father learned that his only son had caused serious damage to the assassin before he died?
, I don’t think he thinks this is something to be proud of." After Yan Fu finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Mo Si, even Master Lingwu praised your talent in swordsmanship.
If you could..."
"Stop it! I'm not here to listen to your preaching." Ever since Mo Si received the approval of Master Lingwu when he was five years old, people around him have been telling him such things day and night, and he has already heard these words.
Tired of it, "Yan Fu, I said before, rules and swordsmanship will only become shackles to restrain me. Only unrestrained wolves are real wolves. What's the difference between a tamed wolf and a dog?"
"But have you ever seen a few wild wolves that live longer than dogs?"
