Chapter 138 The red sedan chair on the official road
"sect?"
Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat. This was not the first time he came across the word "sect", but at least this time it was the closest.
Pingchuan County is a small borderland, and the martial arts is far less grand than in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty. Here, the inheritance of martial arts depends on the family.
But the abilities of the clans are limited after all, otherwise the children of each clan would not have to go out to study. Basically, the family's ability has reached the limit when it reaches the second to third level of martial arts.
Further up, if you want to practice further, you can only enter a "sect".
The power of the "sect" is far beyond that of the family. It is a place where countless warriors squeeze their heads to get in. However, the sect is very mysterious, and most of its locations are away from the city. In a world where ferocious beasts and bandits are rampant, it is almost impossible to enter a sect alone.
It's a narrow escape.
So far, the only person from the sect that Yang Ji has come into contact with is "Zuo Guangdou". When this abandoned disciple of the sect appeared in a small place like Pingchuan County, it caused a sensation.
This is not a very common thing.
Although "Zuo Guangdou" is an abandoned disciple of the sect and the lowest disciple, his "fast sword" is still quite amazing and astonishing. There are many people who have suffered from him!
"Yes. The sect is the holy land of martial arts, but it has always been quite strict in accepting disciples. Those with stupid qualifications are not accepted at all. However, no matter how big the sect is, it can't be bigger than the imperial court."
Lu Ling laughed when he said this, paused and said:
"The establishment of any sect requires an ultimatum from the court. Therefore, the court always has a quota in the sect. Whether you can get a recommendation letter from the court at a certain time depends on your own performance."
"I see!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes. Duan Gang giggled, grinning from ear to ear.
"Brother Yang, Brother Duan, congratulations!"
Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang, and Shen Tongdao looked envious.
There are so many powerful people in the "sect" and they are so high up there that it is a place that countless students dream of. If Yang Ji and Duan Gang can join the sect, you can imagine their future achievements.
It is worth celebrating that friends I know have such achievements. Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip immediately.
After three drinks, the topic changed from the martial arts examination, and everyone asked about Yang Ji's new residence in Pingchuan City. Everyone also got some news about Yang Ji from Lu Ling.
But Yang Ji didn't say anything, and it was hard for everyone to ask questions. After all, this kind of thing is very sensitive. But there is no problem in terms of housing. Although Yang Ji's martial arts is better than them, this is exactly what they can help with.
"Lu Ling, taking this opportunity, I want to trouble you with something."
Yang Ji thought for a moment and took this opportunity to speak:
"It is impossible for me to stay in Pingchuan County. If I leave in the future, there will only be an old housekeeper who will not worry about it. He has served us for more than 20 years and takes good care of me. I have long regarded him as a relative. I want to ask you for help. I am not here.
When the time comes, can you please take care of me?"
Yang Jidao.
Uncle Liang is too old to follow him around. If Yang Ji is worried about anything, it is him who worries him the most.
When the eldest lady attacked Uncle Liang in order to find out his whereabouts, Yang Ji was worried that someone would come to deal with Uncle Liang in the future. Although these were just speculations by Yang Ji alone, he had to be on guard.
"Ha. I thought it was something. Don't worry!"
Lu Ling waved his hand and said boldly:
"At that time, I will send two soldiers to protect him. In addition, I will ask the soldiers in the military camp to change the route and patrol there several times a day. If nothing else, I can still do this in Pingchuan City. .”
"Thank you."
Yang Ji said sincerely. This matter has always been a knot in his mind.
"If you are worried about the old man, I can find some smart and well-behaved maids for you to serve him. With my family's ability, this matter can still be done."
Shen Tong said, paused, and said with a nonchalant expression:
"Don't think that I forgive you. I just think that you are still kind and righteous."
"Hahaha, you guys are still thinking about being kicked off the ring by Yang Ji!"
"You damn duck has a tough mouth!"
"Tch, with your three tricks, even if Yang Ji lets you, you won't be able to make it to the finals."
Several other people laughed.
"Asshole, Duan Gang, do you, a bastard, know how to speak? Let's challenge him to a duel!"
Shen Tong was furious and turned to look at Duan Gang with an angry look. The others just laughed.
"Anyway, thank you."
Yang Ji also laughed.
"Yes. It will be a bit difficult to ask the court team to change the route and patrol a few more times. But we will also ask the family to help urge it."
"Then I will help you find some bodyguards to protect you. I can still do this."
…
Wang Xian and Duan Gang also said seriously, and they admired Yang Ji in their hearts.
Before, I only knew that Yang Ji was powerful in martial arts and decisive in killing, but now I felt that he had another side of kindness and kindness. A person who works so hard for an old servant in his family would definitely not be too bad. It would be wrong to make friends with such a person. Wrong!
"I respect you all and thank you all!"
Yang Ji stood up and said, a big stone fell in his heart.
Everyone stood up one after another, not even saying...
…
What Lu Ling, Wang Xian, Shen Tong and others promised would be fulfilled soon. That afternoon, two soldiers from the imperial court stationed at the door of Yang Ji's new residence.
This is equivalent to two "warriors"!
After that, Shen Tong also sent some pretty maids. People who come from rich businessmen's families have particularly flexible hands and feet and are well-behaved.
Yang Ji was quite satisfied after seeing it. It wasn't until Duan Gang sent the bodyguards to take over the duties of guarding the hospital that Yang Ji's new residence really showed some splendor.
With these people around, Yang Ji can almost feel at ease even if he is not around.
The army was raiding the Green Forest Bandits every day. In a short period of time, the Green Forest Bandits on both sides of the official road almost disappeared. But everyone knew that these were just appearances. The Green Forest Bandits were notoriously difficult to deal with.
Now the army is mopping up, and they disperse in a hurry. When the army returns, these people will reappear, becoming bandits out of grass, and occupying the mountain to become kings!
However, these are matters of the imperial court and have little to do with Yang Ji and others.
In addition to practicing every day, Yang Ji went in and out of various official offices in Pingchuan City to understand the structure and operation of the court, and reviewed some trivial and simple official documents. For example, the maintenance of ordnance, the purchase of fodder for war horses, the maintenance of armor... etc. wait.
The days are dull and fulfilling.
…
The sun was shining brightly, and far away from Pingchuan County, there were tall mountains on both sides, towering ancient trees, and a small path in the middle. It stretched out like a jade belt.
July is the time of midsummer, but the trees here are already as red as fire. This is the case here all year round, whether in early spring or late winter.
It is said that there is a lot of red sand underneath the soil here. The nutrients in it enter the trees, making the trees here so bright red.
This is a famous scenic spot on the eastern border, but it is also an area frequented by bandits.
A gust of breeze blew, and in the distance, several figures appeared on the horizon leading a large red sedan, slowly heading towards the mountain forest.
The sedan is gold-plated and inlaid with emeralds and agates. The hanging curtains are also extraordinary. Those who can ride in such a sedan must be rich and powerful people.
In front of and behind the sedan, there are four strong men "chiluo" lifting their arms. These four Chi Jing "chiluo" are as strong as iron towers, and their eyes are like copper bells with blood coming out. They are all obviously in the martial arts realm.
Strong.
Under the scorching sun, the four of them were sweating profusely, and their clothes were soaked through. Their arms were strong enough to break stone monuments, and they were carrying the sedan. However, they looked like they were struggling, and their shoes sank into the soil. Every step they took was deeper and deeper.
footprint.
In the eastern part of the Han Dynasty, the people in the green forest knew almost at a glance that to make several martial arts realm men work so hard, there must be a large number of treasure boxes hidden in the sedan chair.
Merchants traveling to the east often do this, thinking they can hide the truth.
Everything was quiet between heaven and earth. Only the sound of the creaking sedan chair was left. After a while, we arrived at the front of the mountain——
"kill!--"
Suddenly, the air condensed and the atmosphere became chilly. A sound of killing like a landslide and tsunami suddenly came from both sides of the mountain forest. Countless birds flew into the sky screaming, and dense footsteps came. Only the treetops were heard.
Swinging, I didn't know how many people were hidden in the forest for a while and rushed towards me.
Compared with the earth-shattering scene in the woods, the official road was quiet. Both the four young men in front who looked like children of aristocratic families and the four bare-armed "porters" behind them all had calm faces, as if they were not looking at anything.
When I arrived, I heard nothing.
These people didn't even raise their eyebrows, and continued to walk forward at the same pace as before. It was like the two parties were living in two parallel worlds that did not interfere with each other.
Inside the big flaming sedan, it was even more eerily quiet.
"kill!--"
In the blink of an eye, the earth-shattering momentum turned into an actual attack. Countless spurts of blood, swords, and even sharp armor-piercing arrows rushed out of the woods.
And all these attacks are aimed at a few people on the official road.
Seeing that these people were about to be overwhelmed by the tide of attacks, they died on the spot. However, these people remained indifferent. Perhaps the only reaction was the sneer at the corners of the mouths of the four young people in the lead.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps...
Seeing that these people were about to be robbed and killed, a sudden change occurred in the light field--
boom!
There was an earth-shaking loud noise, with the fiery red sedan as the center, and suddenly a strong wind blew within a hundred steps. In the dark, as if controlled by an invisible big hand, thousands of fiery red leaves around suddenly seemed to be alive.
, broke out of the tip, turned into the most terrifying knife, sword, and shot out with a sharp roar.
At the same time, those armor-piercing arrows that were shot far away from the fiery red sedan seemed to have hit an invisible wall and stopped abruptly in the air.
Hiss!
The sound of leaves whistling sharply only lasted for a blink of an eye. The shouts of death stopped abruptly, and the official road fell into silence, a deathly silence.
On both sides of the sedan, countless corpses looked terrified, falling on the road in various postures, motionless. The most ordinary red leaves turned into the most terrifying weapons, stabbing deeply into their necks and backs.
Forehead, chest and abdomen….
Death comes entirely from an unexpected moment!
Clang clang clang!
The long arrows shot out of mid-air then fell to the ground with a clang as if they lost control.
"boom!--"
At this moment, deep in the forest, there was a loud bang, and a shocking blood rainbow dragged a long wave of air and suddenly passed through the void, shooting towards the fiery red sedan on the official road with thunderous force.
The momentum of this arrow was extraordinary. The scorching energy on the arrow heated up the air. It was so powerful that it could even break a small mountain peak.
"clatter!"
At the moment when the bloody arrow shot down, the curtain on the sedan swung, and a white and slender arm stretched out from the window and grabbed the long arrow shot from the air.
An arrow with astonishing power appeared limp in front of this slender palm, as if it had no power at all.
There was a faint exclamation in the deep mountains. It was too late to say it, but it was quick to say that. I saw the five fingers of the arm flipped and threw it outward. The long arrow that had been shot turned into a shocking long arrow and shot again.
go back.
"ah!--"
There was a howl of pain, and the trees in the deep mountains roared. The hidden strong man ran away like crazy, knocking down many big trees in his haste.
"leave."
A faint voice came from the sedan. The voice was young and cold, but it contained great majesty. It actually paid no attention to the strong man buried deep in the mountains.
After a while, the sedan was lifted up, passed over the heavy corpses, and moved forward again, calmly as if nothing had happened.
“Who the hell is this guy?!”
On a distant mountain peak, the Black Wind Pirate "Master of the Five Villages" opened his eyes wide and covered his left shoulder with one hand. He was stunned and looked at the fiery red sedan that was getting further and further away on the official road with a shocked expression on his face.
A blood arrow penetrated his left shoulder, and blood gurgled from the hole.
In Pingchuan City not long ago, he never suffered a loss when he competed with the imperial captain. But that man's casual throw actually made him feel close to death...
