Chapter 489: Ambush
"How can there be a real hero in the rivers and lakes? Reduced to recklessness, from time to time to do some things to rob the house, if you want to say that it is a robber road rage, it is still possible, as for the so-called heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, that is only in storytelling. ”
As Xia Fan spoke, he lifted the curtain at the front door of the carriage, and said to the bloody hand Xuehe who was driving with him: "Go to the place where Chen Jiaxing and Luo Kaishan made an appointment to fight, tomorrow the two will fight, if there are clues, there should be some clues in that place." ”
"Yes, young master."
The Bloody Hand and the Blood River agreed at the same time, and then raised their whips.
Watching the carriage drive towards the outside of Xiangning County, two men wearing robes and hats walked out of the dark street opposite the restaurant, and after glancing at each other, one of the people in the clothes turned around and went in the opposite direction, and the other person in the clothes was in a flash, and fell behind the carriage not far away.
"It's impossible for everyone to have malice, right? What about the so-called decent people? Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to do something chivalrous and righteous, right? “
Ye still seemed a little unacceptable.
"It's hard to say, the people in the rivers and lakes don't produce, and if the sect wants to maintain it for a long time, it needs to have a corresponding business that can maintain profits. Whether it is a field or other buying and selling, for the sect, the first thing they need to consider is to ensure the sustainability of this income. Therefore, the sect will also oppress those tenant farmers who cultivate, and even because of its own certain force, it may be more ruthless in oppressing than normal landlords. As for those other transactions, it is natural that they must deal with people of the three religions and nine ranks. ”
Xia Fan's eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was recalling the things he had experienced in his previous life.
"Jianghu is a big dye vat, and in it, there are not so many black and white things. The leftist evil people are more radical in their work, and the way they plunder interests is more direct, so they are more hostile and suppressed by the government, and their reputation is naturally insignificant. As for the so-called righteous people, there are sects and foundations, of course, they don't need to be so explicit in doing things, put on a glamorous coat, and hide the flies and dogs in the shadows, so it naturally looks more acceptable on the surface. ”
"According to what you say, there is no clean place in this big river and lake?"
Ye still frowned and asked.
"The world is bustling and shouting, all for profit, as long as interests are involved, there can be no really clean things. The so-called poor and rich martial arts, all these Jianghu sects can recruit are some people with ordinary family backgrounds, where does the cost of their cultivation come from? Of course, by exploiting others. ”
Xia Fan sneered, unconcealing his disdain for the rivers and lakes.
"The real masters, either from the wealthy family, or belong to the royal family, learn the art of literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, in the outer regions, master the absolute resources, will always be the royal family and the wealthy, and the capable martial arts will naturally only come from here. As for the rivers and lakes...... A group of so-called 'heroes' who can't be on the stage. ”
The county seat of Xiangning is not large, and the city construction of the Western Zhou Dynasty is also very different from that of the Daqian Dynasty.
Due to the division of the nine kings, the territory of the whole country was divided into ten, and each prince and king built their own territories, so in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were many small cities like Xiangning County.
Thousands of small cities are scattered in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, except for the eight royal cities and the imperial city, there is hardly any magnificent giant city in the Western Zhou Dynasty that can be compared with the cities in the Great Qian Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that in the palace before, Xia Fan proposed to directly use elite cavalry to raid the imperial city of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
As long as the speed is fast enough, these small cities will not have time to mobilize effective resistance, and if you take into account the support that the secret spies that the Great Qian Dynasty has long arranged in them can provide, the elite cavalry can even gallop like lightning in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is possible that they will not be able to touch any Western Zhou army before reaching the foot of the imperial city.
Bloody Hand and Blood River drove the carriage and soon came to the pipeline outside Xiangning County.
I don't know if it was affected by the upcoming competition between Chen Jiaxing and Luo Kaishan, but the official road that should have been more lively was empty at this time.
"The person who followed, don't you care?"
As the carriage stopped, Ye still got out of the carriage behind Xia Fan with peanuts in his arms and asked.
The clothed man, who had been following the carriage since the city, was now more than fifty meters behind the carriage, hiding behind a big tree, thinking that he was secretly observing this side.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people who want to make up their minds, and they all attract them all at once, and then dispose of them together, which saves trouble."
Xia Fan said as he looked around at the martial arts venue that was selected by Chen Jiaxing and Luo Kaishan.
I couldn't see anything unusual for a while.
"Is what you're looking for related to those two people?"
Ye Yi and Xia Fan walked side by side, Peanut was lying on Ye Yi's shoulder boredly, and the bloody hands and blood river walked into the woodland on both sides of the official road, each looking for anything abnormal.
Bai Xingshu was guarding the carriage with the Ouchi master.
As a pinnacle-level martial arts supreme, that Ouchi master is also the top existence even if he looks at the entire Southern Regions, so when he comes out this time, he will basically only be responsible for Xia Fan's safety, and he will not bother with other things.
"After we entered the Western Zhou Dynasty, I contacted a secret agent, and according to some information he provided, I chose Xiangning from several different border towns, for that Chen Jiaxing. Still, don't you think...... Is what happened to the Chen family quite similar to what we encountered before? ”
Xia Fan said casually as he walked slowly.
"You mean...... The people who destroyed the Chen family were in the same group as the people who came to attack us at that time? ”
"It's very likely, because the methods of doing things are very similar, and judging from some of the information provided by the secret spy, a series of inconspicuous situations that happened before the Chen family was destroyed are also very similar. But what really makes me suspect that there is a connection is Naro Kaishan. A nine-rank martial artist who has accumulated years has obviously been recognized as a martial artist who can only stay in the realm of a nine-rank martial artist in this life, but he suddenly broke through to become a martial artist, which is ...... Maybe there's something unspeakable. ”
"Or is it a bit far-fetched, maybe it's just a coincidence? Maybe there will be some adventures in Naluo Kaishan. ”
"Naluo Kaishan may indeed have some chances, but it can't be let go because of this, besides...... I never think that there really is such an absolute coincidence in this world. If this kind of thing happens a lot, there must be a reason why it will happen. ”
Xia Fan turned his head to look at the side with a smile, and the four swordsmen known as the four ghosts of Qingjiang slowly walked out from the direction Xia Fan saw.
At the same time, behind Xia Fan, the fat man who had previously cut off his wrist by Bai Xingshu's sword also walked out with his two companions.
"For example, the matter in front of me is far from being as simple as a coincidence."
