Chapter 486: Jianghu
Since the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty for more than 400 years, although it is nearly half shorter than the national Zuo of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty from the emperor to the common people all regard themselves as orthodox in the world, and whether it is the princes and nobles or the common people, there is a certain incomprehensible arrogance in their bones.
Compared with the peak of the national strength of the Great Qian Dynasty, the development of agriculture in the Western Zhou Dynasty can be said to be the crown of the sixteen kingdoms in the Southern Regions.
The Nine Kings respected Zhou Tianzi as the co-master, and the divided territory was in a circle, guarding the central area directly under the control of Zhou Tianzi.
Although it is considered to be a relatively strong country among the sixteen countries in the Southern Regions.
However, due to the state system, it was difficult for the Nine Kings to really work together and pay more attention to their own interests than national interests, so for a long time, the Western Zhou Dynasty has always lacked sufficient strength for foreign invasion.
Especially bordering the Daqian Dynasty, it has always faced huge pressure from the Daqian Dynasty, which made the ruling class of the Western Zhou Dynasty have no lofty ambitions.
Whether it is Zhou Tianzi or the hereditary Nine Kings, most of them are addicted to pleasure.
Under slavery, the lives of the common people were not poor, but they were also quite miserable.
The people are poor and the country is rich, and it is very erosive.
At this time, in a county town called Xiangning on the border of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in the lobby of the most famous restaurant in the city, dozens of people were eating and talking at the same time.
Most of these people carry swords with them, and their demeanor is rough, with the air of people in the rivers and lakes, and a few of them are dressed and hatted, or occupy a table, or two people have a table, although they are drinking in silence, but their bodies exude a dangerous atmosphere.
"Brother Zhao, Heart Palpitation Sword Chen Jiaxing and Nine Peerless Sword Luo Kaishan Official Dao have an appointment, who do you say will win?"
At one of the tables in the lobby, a blue-shirted swordsman spoke loudly after taking a drink.
"This ...... Heart Palpitation Sword has been traveling abroad all these years, because more than a year ago, his family suffered a big change, so he hurriedly returned, and it is said that he has broken through the boundaries of the Nine Rank Martial Arts and has become a real martial arts master. This is already the realm of being able to start a sect. As for the Nine Absolute Swords...... Although Luo Kaishan's sword skills have become more and more exquisite over the years, he has always only stayed at the peak level of the Jiupin Martial Arts. ”
The one who was called Brother Zhao was a big man with a beard on his face, and after listening to the blue-shirted swordsman's inquiry, he said in a rather playful manner.
The voices of the two are not small, even in the noisy lobby of the restaurant, they are quite clear.
So naturally, it aroused the interest of others to participate in the discussion.
"I'm afraid this brother just came to our hometown, right? I don't even know the news that the Nine Peerless Sword Luo Kaishan has broken through a month ago and become a martial artist, so I'm embarrassed to comment here? What a joke. ”
On a table next to the two of them sat four swordsmen, one of whom spoke mockingly.
"What? Luo Kaishan also broke through to become a martial artist? ”
The blue-shirted swordsman was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised by the news, but the big man with a full beard turned slightly red, and he was about to slap the table when he heard this mocking words.
But before he could make a move, a few people suddenly walked in at the door of the lobby of the restaurant.
Two men who looked like guards were the first to clear the way, followed by a young man and a woman with a young man who looked like a little scholar.
There was also a middle-aged scribe who walked at the end, although there was not the slightest breath exposed, but it had a bit of a feeling of abyss.
Especially the young man and woman, they are really outstanding, almost like a picture.
"Shopkeeper, are there any empty tables?"
The group ignored their presence and instantly became the focus of the entire lobby, and one of the two guards walked straight to the counter and asked.
"Yes, yes, there's a big table in the corner, and seven or eight people can sit on it, so it's not a problem."
Xiao Er, who was waiting in the lobby, came up with a courteous face.
"Tsk, which boy is this who came out to play in the mountains and rivers? actually brought such a beautiful girl out, and he was not afraid of meeting a master of the left road, so he was directly taken away and made a Ding furnace. ”
A fat man with a frank chest shouted strangely.
The other two at the same table laughed and echoed at the same time.
However, while agreeing, the two of them tensed their muscles faintly, looking arrogant, but in fact they were cautious and vigilant.
But if something is wrong, you can react as soon as possible.
The others didn't say anything, most of them just watched coldly, and a few looked at the young woman with hot eyes, as if they were waiting for the group to respond.
"As soon as we entered the rivers and lakes, this was the norm, we didn't stop all the way, and we lived in official posts, so it was quite clean before. However, after entering this Western Zhou Dynasty, this kind of thing will often be encountered. Although there are almost no real masters above the rivers and lakes, and the strong people at the level of the martial sect can already start a sect, but all kinds of third-rate methods are endless, so many times, it is better to be careful. ”
The young man smiled and said to the woman next to him, although his voice was not deliberately lowered, but it was condensed into a line, and only the woman could hear it.
This pair of men and women are naturally Xia Fan and Ye Yi, who came to the Western Zhou Dynasty from the Daqian Dynasty all the way.
"You're just talking about being careful, and you don't see yourself being careful. I know that this kind of reckless character is open-mouthed, but there are many people who draw their swords against each other when they disagree, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, I don't bother to trouble them, I don't need you to say more. ”
Ye still glanced at Xia Fan and said angrily.
The two of them are naturally not afraid of causing trouble, but because of the practice of killing people with a few words of ridicule, Xia Fan may still be able to do it in his last life, but in this life, he is somewhat restrained.
Ignoring the fat man's foul language, Xia Fan and his party came to the square table in the corner under the guidance of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper first took out the towel draped on his shoulders, cleaned the four benches, and after courteously leading Xia Fan and a few people to sit down, he hurriedly wiped the table with a rag.
After finishing all this work, the shopkeeper asked Xia Fan with a flattering smile what he wanted to eat.
It's just that these words have just been asked, and the fat man seems to have seen that Xia Fan and his party have no reaction in the face of his provocation, and his courage can't help but grow, and the whole person got up directly from his seat and walked to Xia Fan's table in a few steps.
looked at Ye Yi with a lewd smile and said, "Little lady, if you are out of the house, what's the point of always following this little white face by your side, why don't you come to my side for a drink or two, and I'll let you see it...... What is a real man. ”
While speaking, the fat man directly reached out and touched Ye Yi's cheek.
