Chapter 4 Exoticism

On December 10th, at five o'clock in the morning, the winter twilight was heavy.

A group of cavalry who had traveled from afar entered Danya, and the officer who led the team showed the token of the military affairs office to the city patrol officer: "I am the herald of the military affairs office of the imperial capital, and I have important business to come to Danya. Request an immediate audience with the Black Flag Commander. ”

Shikawa Xiu was woken up in a sweet dream in the early morning. He hastily put on his uniform and received the messenger in the meeting room with sleepy eyes.

Despite the long journey, the messenger was still in good spirits and stood straight at the door: "Report! The 3rd Cavalry Division of the Central Army Small Banner Samurai See the Commander! ”

"Xiaoqi, come in. It's been a hard journey, please be seated. ”

"Master Xie."

"Xiaoqi, you came from the imperial capital, what good news did you bring us?"

"Don't dare, sir. The Commander has come to deliver the official letter on the orders of the Military Affairs Office, and Lord Stirling has entrusted me with a personal letter to you. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded: "You have worked hard, what about the letter?" ”

But he saw that the small flag warrior took out a large brown paper envelope from his pocket and displayed the letter in front of Zichuan Xiu: "My lord, please see, the envelope is intact. Please sign a receipt for me, my lord, to prove that the envelope and the fire paint seal are in good condition when they reach you, so that I can return to them. ”

Seeing Zi Chuan Xiu sign the receipt, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief and handed the letter to Zi Chuan Xiu: "Your Excellency, you are busy, my task has been completed, so I will retire first." ”

Zichuan Xiu took out a few bills from his pocket: "It's hard work, take it and have a drink with the brothers." ”

The small flag warrior bowed and said, "Your Excellency rewarded you with a reward, you shouldn't have said it." It's just that Lord Stirling leads the troops strictly, and he doesn't dare to break the rules under him. The lower official retired first. ”

Seeing the small flag officer striding away, Zi Chuanxiu smiled dumbly.

Sure enough, what generals brought out what soldiers. He is so-so, his subordinates are a bunch of hooligans, and Sterling's subordinates are as if they were made out of a mold, and they are meticulous in their work.

It was only after the officer had left that he opened the vellum envelope with the large seal of the Military Affairs Department, and Sterling's vigorous handwriting suddenly caught his eye.

Zichuan Xiu watched it, and joked with Puxin Qiben next to him: "Don't look at the Sterling man who looks like a dog, his handwriting is really ugly and can't be read." ”

"Uglier than yours, an adult?"

"Much uglier than me!"

"Oh, that's ugly."

"Hey, Pushin, what the hell do you mean? I think this month's bonus is too much, isn't it? ”

But when he finished reading the letter, Zichuan Xiu had a puzzled look, looking out the window at the gray sky and not making a sound.

Pu Xin, who was good at observing faces, did not dare to ask directly, for fear of involving military secrets that his level could not know. He silently filled the cup of tea for Zichuan Xiu, and stood silently waiting on the side.

It took a long time for Zichuan Xiu to turn around: "Pu Xin, you help me draw up a notice and send it to the commanders of the divisions." ”

"My lord, what is the content of the notice?"

"You have the specific sentence at your fingertips, and the main meaning is that we have received a notice from the Military Affairs Department that the big exercise originally scheduled for the end of this year has been cancelled. The field training of the various units has come to an end for the time being, and the sequence of troop establishment has resumed normal garrison tasks. ”

"Understood, I'll draft it right away."

Pu Xin wondered in his heart, wasn't it just the cancellation of a large-scale exercise? This is a common occurrence in military life, so why does the Commander seem so strange? But Zichuan Xiu didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask.

"Due to the new situation, after discussion at the meeting of the chief ministers, the implementation of the dragoon plan was suspended." That's what Sterling's letter says.

"It's strange, what's new?" Shikawa Shu flipped through the letter over and over again, but Sterling's words were only such a simple sentence, and there was no explanation.

The suspension of the exercise is tantamount to saying that the plan for a large-scale invasion of the Liufeng family has been completely put on hold.

Shikawa Xiu thought about it, but couldn't explain why.

As far as he knew, a large number of reserve troops had been assembled in the surrounding provinces of the imperial capital, and the soldiers, horses, food, and grass were ready, and the invasion war was already on the bow, so why did it suddenly stop? Could it be that there was another feint attack in the Far East?

"I don't understand the old men of the imperial capital!" Zichuan Xiu muttered, tossing the letter around in his hand.

Seeing Zi Chuanxiu's puzzled expression, Pu Xin could only stand aside and be stupid. He persuaded: "My lord, you have been in a bad mood lately, is it because you are too tired from work?" Now that the big drill has been canceled, you can relax for a few days. Or maybe you can go out and relax and feel a little better, right? ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How big is Danya?" Everyone knows me, and it's not fun to play, it's boring. ”

"My lord, you don't have to play in Danya City! You can go straight to the other side of the hill for a few days! No one over there knows you. ”

"Riverhills?" Zi Chuanxiu's heart moved: "Is it fun over there?" ”

"Of course! Heqiu is one of the most famous cities on the mainland, more prosperous than the imperial capital, and the scenery is beautiful, the customs and customs are worth seeing, many people in the imperial capital come from thousands of miles away, your lord, you are close at hand and do not go to see, it is a pity. ”

"Really!" Thinking of Elder Lin Rui's introduction that day, Heqiu has always been known as the most famous tourist city in the mainland, what is the rain song and dance of Jinshui River, the moon viewing platform of Jianghua Tower, the stargazing tower of Dole Villa, and the torch parade party of Guangming Square, it is indeed a pity that I can't get in.

Thinking of that beautiful woman like a cloud, for a while, Zichuan Xiu was really a little itchy. But he also has one concern: "I am an active duty officer, and it was a little inconvenient in the past. ”

"Hehe, don't laugh, my lord. The border guards are under your control, you pass, who can control you? ”

"But the border guards on the Lin family's side?"

"The security department of Heqiu is very lax in border management, and unless there is a major criminal case, they do not check the entry and exit of the population at all." Speaking of this, Pu Xin lowered his voice: "Don't hide it from you, in fact, among the senior officers of the Black Flag Army, which one hasn't sneaked to the riverhill?" The fast horse arrived in three hours, and when it came to the holidays, many people rode to that side as soon as they got off work on the weekend, and they went crazy for two days, and only hurried back on Monday morning! It is said that several officers even had lovers over there! What's so great about relaxing for a few days now? Is the Commander not allowed to rest? ”

"Uh-huh," Pu Xin was speechless, and Zi Chuanxiu said with a big heart: "What you said makes sense." ”

On the same day, he sent Deputy Commander Wade and Chief of General Staff Wen He to explain their work, first conveyed to them the instructions of the family military affairs office, and then said that due to the work was too intense, the officer was physically and mentally tired, and he had suffered insomnia for several days, and he urgently needed to recuperate for a few days to recuperate physically and mentally.

The Lord Commander is sick and can't sleep, so it's okay!

Deputy Commander Wade said with the most anxious expression that this was by no means a trivial matter that could be taken lightly, and it was the most serious incident in the history of the Black Flag Army, which was related to the future and fate of the army and the life and death of the army.

"This is not only your business alone, Lord Xiuchuan, you are the priceless treasure of our family, and your physical and mental well-being is our greatest wealth, worthy of ten ironclad cavalry divisions! This is a common difficulty faced by the whole of my legion! Deputy Commander Wade looked solemn and teary-eyed, as if he was facing a severe test of life and death.

He put Zichuan Xiu's personal problems on the line infinitely, raising them to the height of the family's life and death, which made Zichuan Xiu laugh.

Without waiting for Zichuan Xiu to express his position, the two deputy commanders began to discuss where there is a miracle doctor who brings the dead back to life, where to get a three-thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, a two-thousand-year-old ancient well He Shou Wu and a five-hundred-year-old iceberg snow lotus, Wade heard that the crazy woman in a certain village is possessed by a god, claiming to be able to save all sentient beings, and the three-year-old spirit boy of a certain village can cure all diseases, but Wenhe said that there is a legendary Tong Ma at the top of the Tianshan Mountains, and there is a Penglai Immortal Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea where the immortals live on it, so he will quickly whip up and set off immediately, But the only worry is that the Commander's illness cannot be delayed, and he will not be able to come back.

"Come back, come back!" Seeing that the two subordinates had really done a fake show, and they were really going to set off to collect the crazy woman's spirit rune and the boy's urine, Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly called them back.

He pretended to cough twice, and then said that although he was devastated by the disease, fortunately he was not terminally ill, relying on strong will and perseverance, he still had the confidence to overcome the disease, and the only thing he needed was to recuperate for a few days.

He explained the work to the two deputies, and the daily events were handled according to the normal division of labor, and the two discussed major issues.

There was a light snow on the horizon, miserable and hazy. The cool breeze in early winter is not cold, and it is a good weather for travel.

Due to the light snowfall, there are not many pedestrians on the usually busy road.

Zichuan showed off Danya City, marched all the way along the mainland highway, and came across the border checkpoint of the Black Flag Army after walking less than ten miles.

The border officer in the olive uniform checked Zi Chuanxiu's documents with a blank face, looked up and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you from the imperial capital?" ”

"That's right."

"Over there in the riverhill for business?"

"Well, I'll do some tea and cloth business."

Alone on the road, with a strong figure, sharp eyes, and a calm attitude, Zi Chuanxiu probably didn't look like a businessman who did "tea and cloth business", and the officer lowered his head and checked his documents over and over again.

Zichuan Xiu was calm - of course he didn't have to be nervous, although the document was a fake name, it was more real than the real thing, and it was personally made by the head of the border exit and entry administration and sent to Zichuan Xiu.

Probably unable to find any loopholes in the documents, the border officer asked, "You didn't carry any prohibited items, did you?" Weapons? Gold? Forbidden political reading? ”

Zichuan Xiu silently spread out the baggage he was carrying, and emptied all the pockets of his clothes, and it was clear at a glance that there were only a few sets of changing clothes and a stack of large bills. Shikawa explained, "This is the payment I paid for the goods that I went there to buy. ”

There was no longer a reason to stay in trouble, and the officer reluctantly stamped Zi Chuanxiu's certificate, indicating that Mr. Zhang Asan, a tea merchant, had obtained permission from the family government to leave the country this time, and it was completely legal.

He pointed to a stone tablet on the side of the road in front of him: "Mr. Zhang, this is the first time you have passed, right?" Attention, after that stone tablet is the land of the Lin family, I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Zichuan Xiu said: "Thank you! He turned and jumped on his horse.

The horse's hooves galloped, the cold snow hit his face, Zi Chuan Xiu crossed the boundary monument like a gust of wind, looking back, the small border guard post was still faintly visible, the soil was the same color under his feet, and the sky above his head was still gray, but at this moment, it was no longer the territory of the Zi Chuan family.

Over the years, he has fought in all directions, but it is the first time he has left the land of the Zichuan family, and he is full of youthful passion for the charming exotic customs of the legend, even the breeze and snow have not diminished his enthusiasm.

With his feet on a foreign land, Zichuan Xiu had an indescribable feeling, as if an inexplicable restraint had been removed.

"Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land; On the shore of the land, it is not the emperor's minister. This belief from childhood has now been silently subverted, and a new, vast and free world is about to unfold before his eyes, and he has an impulsive passion.

For some reason, he had a premonition that his fate would take a major turn in the next few days.

Zichuan Xiu was most worried that his identity would be exposed if his documents were checked by the Heqiu Security Department: "The leader of the Zichuan family secretly infiltrated Heqiu, and the purpose is unknown!" "If someone deliberately makes trouble, this is enough to cause a diplomatic dispute.

But the result surprised him very much, the Lin family's border defense facilities were simply useless.

Along the snowy road, although there were also many Heqiu border police posts in white winter uniforms, those Heqiu border police standing in the wind and snow turned a blind eye to Zi Chuanxiu in front of him, and watched him pass by silently. There were also no notices on the road asking for inspections.

Anxious to prove to the Lin family authorities that he was a harmless tea merchant, Zichuan Xiu went straight down and walked in front of a border policeman: "Sir, I am a tea merchant from the Zichuan family. ”

The border policeman, carrying a baton and a saber, pushed the brim of his hat covered with snow upward, revealing a young face under the brim, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what can I do for you?" ”

Since they are all descendants of the Guangming Dynasty, the Zichuan family, the Liufeng family, and the Lin family all speak the same language, except for a slight local accent, everyone has no problem communicating.

"Uh, sir, where do I need to check my documents and identity to enter Riverhill? Where do I need to go for immigration formalities? Where are your border checkpoints and administrative posts? ”

The policeman was stunned for a moment, grinned, and showed his white teeth: "Sir, this is your first time in the riverhill, right?" ”

The policeman smiled mysteriously, much like the look on the face of a city man looking at a countryman making a joke.

"Huh? How do you know? ”

The policeman smiled but didn't answer, straightened the black girdle, turned back and pointed to the rear: "We are the border criminal police subordinate to the Security Department, and we are now on the mission of searching for the extraordinarily serious murderer Fang Meng, we don't care about civil affairs, but I can tell you that the Lin family is an open country, and there is no need to go through formalities to enter and exit the river hills." ”

Zi Chuanxiu's mouth opened widely: "You don't need to show your documents?" ”

"We have signed an agreement with the Zichuan family, and the certificates issued by the Zichuan family are also recognized and unimpeded in Heqiu. Now that you've passed through the official Zichuan border checkpoint, why should we go the extra mile to check you again? This is not good for the free circulation of the trade system - of course, please keep your documents safe, in the city, you may be subject to temporary spot checks, we have recently been searching for the mega murderer Fang Meng, we apologize in advance for the inconvenience. ”

"Well, you're completely open to the borders." Zichuan Xiu blinked his eyes, the Heqiu Lin family completely opened the border guard, which is really an incredible thing for the residents of the Zichuan family, who have been living under strict control since childhood.

He asked, "What should you do if your people have fled abroad?" ”

The police asked, "Why did our people run out?" The standard of living in Heqiu is better than that of the imperial capital and far Kyoto, and there is no reason for the people under our jurisdiction to flee. ”

"Well, what if people from other countries flee?"

"This kind of thing has often happened in history, every time the Zichuan family and the Liufeng family went to war, there were always many refugees who wanted to pour into the river hill for refuge, but most of these refugees were intercepted by the border guards of Zichuan and Liufeng, unless the number of refugees was so large that the border guards of the two countries could not stop the extremely special circumstances, our border troops would be dispatched to block the border. But that doesn't happen often, and now that the border has been at ease for nearly a decade, there's no need to worry, do we? ”

Shikawa thanked him and left. He smiled: Worrying about the sky? Only a dozen kilometers away, he felt like he had arrived in another world.

He could imagine that the war that had taken place there, with the blood and deaths of tens of millions, was just a piece of news in the morning daily newspaper for the inhabitants of Riverhill, and the love affair with the idol star was listed in the same important place.

The Lin family has not been at war for more than two hundred years, and their people have long forgotten the taste of iron and blood.

"Lucky people," murmured Shikawa Xiu, "the war has almost passed you by. ”

Hundreds of miles of red dust, thousands of feet of clear water, known as one of the three major historical cities in the mainland, Heqiu City was founded in 151 of the imperial calendar, and has a history of more than 600 years.

Looking up at this majestic ancient city and looking at the clear hibiscus logo on the navy blue city wall bricks, Zichuan Xiu can vaguely imagine the prosperity of that powerful empire back then.

The rise and fall of the dynasty, the changes in the situation, the blood, tears and sorrow of tens of millions of people, in the end, only condensed into a few thin pages of understatement in the history books, thinking of this, even if the hero is like him, he can't help but sigh out of breath.

In Zichuanxiu's original imagination, since it is a famous commercial capital on the mainland, Heqiu must be a bustling and noisy city, with crowded streets, street vendors, shouting and bargaining, crowded crowds of people and sweaty citizens.

But what he saw with his own eyes surprised him. As soon as he entered the city gate, he was presented with a quiet, clean city, with few horse-drawn carriages on the wide, clean main road, and tall plane trees neatly arranged on the sidewalks on both sides, adding a bit of greenery to the street. Pedestrians pass leisurely under the trees, with a peaceful smile on their faces that is very content with life. There was no one shouting or selling, and it was so quiet that you could hear the larks singing in the shade of the treesβ€”was this really the fabled commercial capital of Riverhills?

At the first intersection hangs a huge map of the city, Zi Chuanxiu stopped to watch, only to see the city in the longitudinal seventeenth road, horizontal nineteenth road, the whole city is divided into neat hundreds of areas, each area has its name written in black letters, next to a small parenthesis in small red letters to mark the main shops, bazaars, large hotels and places of interest in the area, needless to say, this must be for the convenience of those first-time merchants and tourists to the riverhill.

Zi Chuan Xiu was amazed, the municipal management of Heqiu was really careful, and even noticed such a subtle place, no wonder Heqiu business has been standing at the top of the continent for hundreds of years.

Although it is a famous commercial city on the mainland, the river hill gives Zichuan Xiu the feeling of a very elegant city, and the precipitation of history and culture is everywhere. On the streets of the city, citizens in loose-fitting pale plain robes chatted tepidly on the streets, and the confidence and calmness of the charm was difficult to imitate, showing that they were full of confidence in their country and culture.

A good national quality cannot be created by piling up gold and silver, and it is difficult to form it without the accumulation of years and the edification of civilization.

There was light snow in the sky, a thin layer of snow particles on the road, and there was a moist moisture in the air, which was refreshing.

From time to time, large and small sculptures can be seen on the sidewalks on both sides of the road, including people, animals, boat shapes, birds, fish and beasts, some of which are lifelike, and some of which are distorted, no matter how Zi Chuanxiu looks at them, he can't guess what it is.

So, he had to be ashamed that he was vulgar and didn't know how to appreciate art.

As a well-known commercial city on the mainland, Heqiu is known as the "capital of ten thousand goods", and according to Zichuan Xiu's own eyes, this is not false.

He wandered around the streets in a variety of large shopping malls and specialty shops, with a wide variety of goods, a dazzling array of goods, all the products in the territory of the Zichuan family and the Liufeng family, needless to say, Zichuan Xiu even saw in the store the green jade that was specialized in the territory of the Demon Kingdom, as well as the well-made brand new katana from the Japanese people on the other continent, with complete styles.

As a result, Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but admire the strength of the vitality of the Heqiu merchants, and even the brutal demons and murderous widows could do business with them.

Coming all the way along the commercial street, the burden on Zi Chuanxiu's back became bigger and bigger, but the banknotes in his pocket became thinner and thinner.

He was particularly concerned about the prices of strategic commodities such as grain, horses, and medicines, which were urgently needed in the Far East, and along the way, he was pleasantly surprised to find that compared to the Far East and the imperial capital, the prices in Heqiu were really - unbelievably cheap!

"At the price of rice bought here, you can't even buy chaff in the Far East!" Zichuan Xiu exclaimed: "With such a low price, the people of Heqiu are really blessed!" ”

Originally, Zichuan Xiu planned to hand over the 600 million cash directly to Shirakawa, but now he has changed his mind, and it seems that it is more cost-effective to turn the money into food, medicine, horses and other physical goods in the river hill and then transport it to the Far East! But with the cost of carriage and horse freight, labor loss and other expenses, will this offset the cost advantage? Maybe the Black Flag Army's convoy could be used to transport this shipment? But will you be accused of abusing your power?

Turning a street, the flow of people gradually became denser.

From time to time, there were blond, blue-eyed exotic people, who were unusually tall, with thick beards, deep eyes and high noses.

Zi Chuanxiu was dumbfounded, and almost suspected that he was a demon. After inquiring about the people next to him, he learned that this was a merchant from a different continent, and there was also a distinction among the merchants, they were from the so-called Persia, England, Rome and other different countries, which made Zi Chuanxiu amazed and sighed: "There is a sky outside the sky! ”

In the past, I regarded the Zichuan family and the Liufeng family as the whole world, but I didn't expect that there was more world outside the continent. He fought in the north and south, and he boasted that he was well-informed, but he was still a frog at the bottom of the well.

In addition to the merchants, Shikawa also noticed a group of people wandering the streets. They were of short stature, dressed in peculiar fashion, with wide sleeves, long slender knives at their waists, shaved heads, and strange buns, and fierce and aggressive expressions.

This group of people strode proudly in the middle of the road, showing a flying and domineering momentum, and passers-by all turned sideways to avoid it.

"What kind of people are these, such a cow?"

"Shh Passers-by hurriedly whispered to Zichuan Xiu: "They are ronins!" ”

"What is a ronin?"

"Sir, this is your first time in Riverhills, isn't it? The ronin is the Japanese samurai whose master died and was homeless. ”

"What?" Zi Chuanxiu was taken aback: "How dare the Japanese openly appear in the river hills? ”

"Ronins are not necessarily Ronin, but Woko are mostly composed of Ronin......" Seeing that several Ronin had already looked over, passers-by didn't dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.

Zi Chuanxiu looked over suspiciously, and saw that across the street, four or five ronins surrounded the two girls, shouting something fiercely, and one girl was guarding the other woman with her body, arguing with them, but this group of ronins had an arrogant attitude, pushing the girls in front of them very rudely, and from time to time let out a burst of unbridled laughter.

"How can this be!" I don't know why, as soon as he saw the arrogant and domineering momentum of these ronins, Zi Chuanxiu was angry, seeing that so many big men were openly bullying two lone women, and the streets were full of pedestrians hurrying by, and no one dared to stop and interfere, he was even more indignant: My Xichuan Continent is Shenzhou, how can I allow you to be wild!

"Hey, you guys! What are you guys doing? ”

Hearing the shout, the ronins were stunned, and Huo Ran turned around. Seeing that only Zi Chuan Xiu was alone, a ronin with an open chest rushed across the street and walked towards Zi Chuan Xiu, said something, and then stared at him fiercely.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Zichuan Xiu spread his hands helplessly.

The ronin said something again, and he was angry, obviously he was very angry.

Zi Chuanxiu had no choice but to give him the most kind and charming smile.

The ronin was furious, and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Zi Chuan Xiu immediately took a step forward, grabbed his wrist holding the knife, and with a slight force, the ronin's face immediately turned pale, and he wanted to draw the knife, but Zi Chuan Xiu's hand was like an iron cast, and he couldn't move.

The two were at a stalemate, and another ronin ran over and shouted, "Takamoto-kun, don't be impulsive!" Kill him, and the Security Department will trouble us! ”

"Eight grids!" The ronin howled and exerted all his strength, and Shikawa looked at him with a smile, as easy as holding a straw.

"Takamoto-kun! Calm down, restraint! The later ronin shouted, and he turned to Shikawa Xiu again: "You, little man, you just insulted us!" I ask you to apologize immediately! ”

"Me? When? ”

"You just said that we Dongying samurai are Japanese invaders! This is not right! We are all upright samurai, not robbers and robbers! You have insulted the dignity of our Toei samurai! ”

"Samurai? Woko? Bandit? Zichuan Xiu's innocent eyes widened, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there any difference?" ”

"Eight squares! Are you looking for death! The later ronin also became angry and pulled out half of the knife: "Apologize immediately, take out all the money on your body to compensate us, I can spare you from dying!" ”

"Oh, I see!" Zi Chuanxiu suddenly realized: "I understand now!" After talking for a long time, you still want to blackmail - didn't you say that you would have to ask for money or your life, what kind of dignity, insults, a bunch of nonsense! Speaking of which, I'm walking with you! I used to be a hooligan in the imperial capital, and I was a bandit leader in the Far East, but our professional quality is much higher than yours, robbery is an art, such a fierce waste, you robbers have to study hard......"

"Eight grids!" There were many roars, and all the ronins left the two women, jumped over the long street with great momentum, and slashed at Zichuan Xiu.

"The ronin is going to make trouble again!"

Suddenly, chickens and dogs jumped on the street, pedestrians rushed to flee, and shops slammed their doors shut.

Unhurried, Zi Chuanxiu turned around and retreated into a small alley, and the group of ronins rushed in with a howl.

For a while, I only heard a ghost crying wolf howl, and the howl of "Eight Ge Yalu" was endless.

The kind-hearted townsfolk hid in their homes tremblingly, listening to the screams in horror, secretly hoping that the handsome young man who had acted bravely would not die too miserably.

After two minutes, the screaming finally stopped, and only moans of pain remained, and the brave citizens looked out through the crack in the door, one by one, stunned.

The handsome outland lad came out with a whistle and a few katanas on his back, and was carelessly wiping the blood from his fists.

"It's really not beaten!" Zi Chuanxiu shook his head: "Seeing that they roared so hard, I thought they were a little expected, but who knew that they were all paper tigers...... Forget it, these knives are very good, take them back and collect them. ”

"Sir, please stay." A crisp female voice stopped Zichuan Xiu.

Zi Chuanxiu turned around, only to see a tall girl approaching with light steps, slightly dark skin and snow-white teeth, she was a very beautiful hot beauty.

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes lit up, and he had already recognized her as one of the two girls who had been molested by the ronin just now.

"Is there something wrong, miss?"

"Thank you so much, sir! My young lady wants to thank you in person, I wonder if you can come with me? ”

Zichuan Xiu looked, and another girl was standing on the other side of the street, with her back to him, unable to see clearly.

"Actually, she could have come over and thank her herself!" Zi Chuanxiu was unhappy in his heart, and thought: "This kind of rich daughter's shelf is really big. ”

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, I'm ......"

"Please, sir!" The girl bowed deeply, so Shikawa Xiu had to say, "Okay! ”

The girl led him over.

"Miss, the gentleman who saved us just now has already come."

"Thank you so much!" The girl turned, and Ying Ying curtsy. Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly bowed and returned the salute: "It's just a gesture, please don't take it to heart." ”

He stood up straight, and only then did he see the face of the young lady, and shouted, "Lin Yu? ”

Isn't this pretty girl with bright eyes and bright teeth in front of her the mysterious girl she met on the way back to the imperial capital?

Lin Yu also showed a stunned expression: "Zhang Asan! Mr. Zhang? ”

"Why are you here?" The two shouted in unison.

Suddenly recognized her, Zichuan Xiu was also surprised by herself: from the Far East to the imperial capital, from the imperial capital to Danya, he commanded the army, and the number of people he had seen was tens of thousands, even with his superhuman memory, he couldn't remember it, how many unfamiliar faces were included by himself with the abstract words "subordinates" and "enemies", why did he have such a deep impression of a strange girl who met in Pingshui, so that he could still call her name at the first moment of meeting a year later?

"You ......"

"Over there, don't run!" Before Zi Chuanxiu had time to reminisce, there was a burst of whistles and shouts from the street, and a large group of policemen were rushing towards this side.

Zi Chuanxiu muttered: "The efficiency of the police in Heqiu is too slow, and the widows are molesting women on the street, and it took them so long to arrive." ”

Lin Yu smiled: "I don't think they came here for this." ”

"Hey, sir, did you make a mistake?" From the moment he was dragged into the car by the police, Zichuan Xiu kept repeating this sentence: "Why did you arrest me?" ”

"There's no going wrong." The policemen said seriously: "The human and material evidence are all there, **** Zhenghong, Xiaotori Erlang, and Yang Wei Sanlang and other gentlemen have already identified, and they all say that the murderer of the robbery is you!" ”

"I robbed?"

"You teamed up with Lin Yu and Ji Wendi to rob our Dongying friend's saber on the street, and injured five gentlemen! Now, the saber is on your body, and the human and physical evidence are all there, do you dare to quibble! ”

Shikawa Xiu pointed to his nose: "I took two unarmed girls with me," and his voice suddenly increased: "Robbed five heavily armed ronins on the street?" Is this possible? ”

The policemen showed sneering expressions, and only the leader still said seriously: "That's right, you are finally willing to admit it!" ”

"Hey, when did I admit it?"

"Now that you admit it, sign this transcript and put your fingerprint."

"Hey, hey, when did I admit it!"

"Don't quibble, don't retract your confession, or I'll let you see the power of the public authorities!" The policemen untied their belts in their hands and waved them, making a whirring wind sound and slamming against the walls.

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "Is that all?" Where are the tiger chairs and chili water hidden? Don't be shy, take it out! ”

Looking at the flying belt, Zi Chuanxiu was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was full of joy: now it's okay, he can extort a sum from Lin Rui again! The police of the Lin family actually beat the commander of the Zichuan family, this is a big deal! How much does Lin Rui want to lose? Five hundred million? Well, no, it's too cheap for him, at least a billion!

"You!" The police officer was furious, waving his belt and about to pull it down, when he saw Zi Chuanxiu's happy eyes, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and stopped at the precipice, so he recovered a billion losses for the Lin family's finances.

"You wait for me, I'll come back and clean you up!" The officer went out in a rage.

"You need to come back soon!" Shikawa said expectantly.

"Hey, sir, I'm mistaken, I'm a street robber!" was pushed out by the police, Zi Chuanxiu rubbed at the door of the police station without giving up: "How can you let me go!" ”

"We have received instructions from above, the facts have been clarified, Mr. Zhang, you are justified in self-defense......"

"Arrest me and lock me up for a few days, beat me up, even if it's just two slaps, as long as there is a little scar......" Zichuan Xiu shouted: "Please! ”

The policeman's cold hair stood up: "Today is really evil, I have encountered a pervert!" ”
