The county seat of Jingyuan County, the last county town in the northeast of the dynasty, due to the cold weather and the relatively poor products on the thousands of miles of fertile plains in the south, the population here is not large.

On weekdays, in addition to the locals, only a few merchants who specialize in selling products from the North will come, and they are as quiet and peaceful as the thousands of miles of snow fields outside the city.

However, during this period of time, there were many fresh faces in the county town and more than ten county towns under its jurisdiction.

Those who have money, those who don't have money, people who know martial arts, ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and even some dignitaries and nobles in the south have all appeared in the territory of Jingyuan County, which makes the county guard, who has been accustomed to eating a stable meal for decades, a little uneasy.

In his remote place, there is no big oil and water, and there has always been only law-abiding Shengdou small people, which is very easy to do.

Now, whether it is those masters of the rivers and lakes who violate the ban with martial arts, or the southern officials who crush people to death at the level of officials, it is not something he can trust.

Although now looking at these two groups of people are quite peaceful, as long as one of them is not done well, he is either lost by someone wearing small shoes and losing his black gauze hat, or he is directly chopped off with a knife, he doesn't think that those wine bags and rice bags under his command can block the famous heroes and high-rollers who are famous with real knives and guns on the rivers and lakes.

This day and day can be described as cautious, walking on thin ice, for fear that he has done the wrong thing, said the wrong thing, and will not be able to eat and walk around.

Fortunately, there are still one or two reliable left and right hands around, and after a few days, the purpose of those people coming to Jingyuan County was checked.

It turned out that there was about to be a master duel on the Cedar Plains in the north, which was enough to go down in the history of the rivers and lakes!

There is reliable news that the second largest sect in the rivers and lakes, the master of the next generation of the Scarlet Lake, and the owner of the Demon Road Scarlet Shadow - Scarlet Butterfly - Zhuang Ying, has come to the Cedar Plain, it is said that she came here to find the young master of the Sword Village who was expelled from the mountain gate, and Sun Hao, the master of the evil sword, to complete the agreed sword duel!

Whether it is the scarlet butterfly Zhuang Ying, or the sword demon Sun Hao, although he is a rising star in the rivers and lakes, his age is not very high, the entire dynasty, whether it is a person from the rivers and lakes, or a master who does things for the court, one is counted as one, and together, there are few existences that can compare with these two people, let alone win the battle.

This battle of swords to the death will undoubtedly be a battle standing at the pinnacle of the rivers and lakes.

For those who sell their fame and reputation to fill up the number of rivers and lakes, witnessing such a battle in person that has no ancients and is unlikely to be a future hundred years ago can not only improve their status in the rivers and lakes invisibly, but also boast to future generations, descendants and relatives and friends of the best capital.

And for those who are truly masters, this is the best opportunity for them to realize their own shortcomings, learn and progress, and forge ahead on the road of martial arts.

As for those people from official families, some of them are too nourishing and too idle to watch the excitement, and some of them have obscure thoughts. The imperial court is incompatible with those martial artists

in, even if one has been safe for decades, it is always good to know oneself and the other.

Predictably, the impact of this battle must have been extremely far-reaching.

One lake and one village, three mountains and four pavilions, nine gates and twelve gangs, such a pattern of rivers and lakes has not changed for many years.

Even if Sun Hao's incident happened, Jianzhuang has been the leader of the righteous path and the leader of the rivers and lakes for decades, as stable as Mount Tai.

But after this war, what is the pattern in the rivers and lakes, it is not very good.

Scarlet Butterfly Zhuang Ying is a peerless genius that is rare to see in the Blood Demon Lake for a hundred years, although she is a woman, her talent in martial arts is not inferior to Sun Hao, and more importantly, the scarlet shadow in her hand that she got out of nowhere is indistinguishable from the evil sword in Sun Hao's hand!

Although after Sun Hao's incident, Jianzhuang chose to abandon the car in order to protect the reputation of being the right way in the rivers and lakes, but everyone who understands knows that as the only seedling of the Sun family of Jianzhuang, after a hundred years of the old owner, if this villa does not want to decline, it will be returned to that person's hands sooner or later, sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.

If Jianzhuang is in trouble, then Sun Hao will not stand idly.

In this battle, if Sun Hao wins, then everything is as usual on the rivers and lakes, the sword village is still the same sword village, and the scarlet lake can only be called the blood demon lake.

If it is Zhuang Yingsheng, although it is called the Demon Sect, but the Scarlet Lake will definitely be called the new bull on the rivers and lakes, when the time comes, what is the right way, what is the evil sect, it is up to the people themselves to decide.

Don't talk about the rabble of the Nine Gates and Twelve Gangs, the outcome of this battle has little impact on them, no matter who wins, they still have three mountains and four pavilions above them, and they can only continue to dominate their own one-acre and three-point land, and the flies and dogs are alive.

But for the high-level and disciples of the Three Mountains and Four Pavilions, it is different, those who claim to be righteous, of course, hope that Sun Hao will win, otherwise, they will most likely be suppressed by the Scarlet Lake, who takes over the power of the rivers and lakes, or even a bloodbath, because in the past few decades, they have not been less dogs to Jianzhuang, and they have done some shady pickles to the people of Scarlet Lake openly and secretly.

As for those sects that were also deducted by Jianzhuang with a cult hat, they hope that the two of them can fight and lose both, and it is best to die together, there is no tiger in the mountain, and these monkeys will have the opportunity to be kings, no matter how bad they are, they hope that the female demon in red Zhuang Ying can win, at least they have no grudges with Scarlet Lake in the past, and they have no enmity in the near future, and they are not too worried about being settled by others.

As for the group of ascetics in the Great Snow Mountain, they don't care who wins or loses, they have neither helped Jianzhuang suppress the disciples of the Scarlet Lake, nor have they had any grievances with the so-called righteous path of the rivers and lakes, their goal is simply martial arts, except for climbing up on the road of martial arts, all the beauty in the world seems to be a passing thing for them.

However, in this peerless battle, there were a lot of people from the Great Snow Mountain, and of course, their purpose was just to simply watch the battle, nothing more.

The county guard didn't want to provoke those people on the rivers and lakes, and he had been in the sword village for decades

The people in the rivers and lakes who do not violate the river water are actually unwilling to cause any unpleasantness with the government at this juncture.

Those people in the county guard mansion naturally can't parry the masters of the rivers and lakes, but, in the distance, the court still has the army, which really annoys the people, the army is pressing, and the people are overwhelming, even their nest can't be saved;

A snowstorm and continuous heavy snow fell, and the one-man high snow on the Cedar Plains blocked all the roads that could go north, and all the people who were ready to go north to Songxue Village and Zishantuo Village to see what was going on had to wait obediently in the county town.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, in the final analysis, it is still not enough to cultivate.

Not everyone's internal strength is strong enough to support themselves to use light power for long journeys like Zhuang Ying, and not everyone's light power can be like Zhuang Ying's ability to step on the snow without a trace.

Of course, there are many more who can't even do light work.

Everyone is looking forward to the snow stopping, the sunrise, and everyone is looking forward to the snow on the Cedar Plains to melt as soon as possible, whether it is the people of the rivers and lakes, the good deeds, or the anxious parents in the county guard's mansion.

Only one person is different.

The vermilion wall is blue tile, the high door is large, the lanterns are colorful, and the ushering is sent.

As a famous family in Jingyuan County, the uncle of the Li family learned and succeeded in his early years, and he never returned after going to Beijing to serve as an official, but he asked someone to send some gold and silver treasures back every year, and when he missed his family, he wrote a book to call his younger brother's family to live in the capital for a few months, so the lintel of the old house of the Li family in Jingyuan County has been in the hands of the second master for many years.

Here, although the second master is called the second master, he is actually the uncle.

There is a big brother who is a Beijing official behind his back, and when the county guard sees the second master of the Li family, he also has to give a little thin noodles.

No, the second son's second son got married today, and the first gift was sent by someone from the county guard's mansion.

Although this gift was not the first to be sent, but the county guard's share did not arrive, who dared to take the lead? They could only wait quietly outside the Li family's house, and when the county keeper had given the gifts, they all appeared one after another, scrambling to offer their 'hearts' with both hands.

Of course, because of the matter of Zhuang Ying and Sun Hao, there are a lot of heroes in the county at this time, as well as businessmen and children of big clans from other towns, who know and don't know, as long as they are willing to come to drink a glass of wine, the second master is open and warmly welcomed.

This move invisibly established a good reputation for the Li family in Jingyuan County among the Jianghu people, and the seemingly nonexistent estrangement between the government and the Jianghu people became less obvious because of this move of the second master of the Li family.

Indirectly, this Second Master Li quietly sold a big favor to the local county guard.

A marriage has just started, and Second Master Li is already destined to gain fame and fortune!
