Chapter 492: Above the Official Road
After disposing of these corpses, Xia Fan and Ye Yi investigated on the left side of the official road again, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious, they returned to Xiangning County.
Although the place where the battle took place was not too far from the city wall of Xiangning County, because there was a dense forest outside Xiangning County, and the official road was not straight, but quite tortuous, the city gate guards of Xiangning County did not notice anything unusual.
Riding in the carriage, he soon found an inn in the county seat, and after depositing the carriage, Xia Fan and his party walked into the inn under the guidance of the shopkeeper.
The first floor of this inn is also engaged in some wine business, so there are also some people in the rivers and lakes who are eating wine and food.
Regarding the appearance of Xia Fan and his party, the people in the rivers and lakes on the first floor were all cold-eyed, and it was only when they saw Ye Yi that they couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he entered the room, because it was six people, so he opened three upper rooms, naturally one room for the blood river bloody hand, one room for Bai Xingshu and the master of the inner house, and the remaining room was Xia Fan and Ye Yi's.
"I always think that there are more people in the rivers and lakes here than in our Daqian Dynasty? And all of them are very unfriendly. ”
After closing the door of the room, Ye still spoke.
"Dynasties are all large cities, the city lords have absolute control over the city itself, and the various wealthy families are rooted in the local area, and they have more needs for a stable living state. Because only stability will not affect their interests. In this case, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes naturally have little room to survive, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes in the dynasty gather in the wilderness, occupy the mountains as kings, or exist in the form of horse bandits and thieves. And even if these people have a certain strength, they don't dare to do too much, so as not to attract the attention of the official and exterminate them, so in the territory of the dynasty, the reckless existence environment is quite bad, and it is difficult to form a real scale. ”
Xia Fan opened his mouth to explain.
"So, the Western Zhou Dynasty's control over the cities under its rule is far less powerful than that of the dynasty?"
"Of course, in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are more than 2,200 county seats like this Xiangning County, most of which are inhabited by a population of between 30,000 and 50,000, so many small cities are distributed in the territory of Nuoda, where did so many people come from in the Western Zhou Dynasty to exercise strong control over all these cities? When the government could not always maintain absolute strength in all places, there was an opportunity for people in the rivers and lakes to be active. As for their unfriendly attitude...... Naturally, because we are new faces, for people in the rivers and lakes, the appearance of any new face may be accompanied by the appearance of danger. ”
"Well, that is, tonight, we may still encounter tentative provocations?"
"That's not going to happen, no matter how chaotic it is, the basic rules still have to be followed. People who can afford to open inns, casinos, flower houses, and carriage and horse dealers can almost be regarded as black and white, and they are very energetic characters in the local area. In this kind of place, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes do not dare to make trouble at will, otherwise they may die quietly. ”
Xia Fan smiled at Ye Ying, stepped forward and hugged Ye Ying's slender waist, and said softly: "So don't worry about being disturbed tonight, we can release it to our heart's content." ”
"What the hell are you paying attention to? If you really think that Chen Jiaxing and Luo Kaishan have a problem, let's go directly and arrest both of them back, since there will be a martial arts fight tomorrow, then the two of them will definitely not live very far, I don't believe that if you want to find them, you will not be able to find them. ”
Ye still let Xia Fan put his arms around him, put the peanut on the table beside him, and said in a rather unkind tone.
"If it's just the two of them who have a problem, it's too late to arrest them tomorrow after the fight, and if it's not just the two of them who have a problem...... Tomorrow's martial arts fight is obviously not just a martial arts fight, so I want to see it, as for what I can see, I probably have some guesses, but I can't be sure yet, so I won't talk about it for now. ”
Ye still frowned, and did not continue to ask after all.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Xia Fan didn't get up early, and He Ye still stayed in bed until three o'clock in the morning, and then came out of the guest room.
The martial arts battle between Chen Jiaxing and Luo Kaishan was set at three o'clock in the afternoon, so although he got up late, there was still plenty of time.
And after leaving the capital, after the double cultivation interaction that continued every night along the way, Ye Yi finally broke through to the realm of the Five-Rank Martial Sect last night.
This rate of improvement is certainly incredible.
However, under the condition that Xia Fan himself did not have any reservations and still completely shared his own perception with Ye, such an improvement could be taken for granted.
It's just that Ye Yi's leapfrog ascension to the realm is an irreproducible experience, even if there is another woman, she can also make Xia Fan trust without doubt, and she can't be like Ye Yi, who can improve with Xia Fan's realm ascension.
Because of this method of dual cultivation, it benefits from the special nature of the 'Phoenix Immortal Body'.
However, this peculiarity is one-to-one rather than one-to-many.
The combination of yin and yang to form a perfect internal and external vitality running route has great benefits for cultivating the 'Phoenix Immortal Body', but if other women join in, it will inevitably destroy this perfect state.
After eating something casually in the inn, Xia Fan and his party drove the carriage to the official road outside the city again.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the official road was quite lively, and the fight between Luo Kaishan and Chen Jiaxing spread throughout Xiangning County, so in addition to many people in the rivers and lakes, there were also many ordinary people who came to see the excitement.
Even some vendors selling snacks and snacks are roaming around and shouting loudly.
makes the official road quite a bit of a loud voice, which is in stark contrast to yesterday's desertion.
"Let's do it here, this distance can ensure that we can see the martial arts clearly and not be noticed."
After letting the blood river park the carriage in a relatively remote area, Xia Fan spoke.
Since there were a lot of people gathered nearby to watch the fight, the county seat of Xiangning also sent some soldiers to maintain order to avoid unnecessary chaos.
Although the Western Zhou Dynasty was a slave society, and the common people had little status to speak of, if there were large-scale casualties, the magistrates still had to bear a certain amount of blame.
It didn't take long for a swordsman to walk slowly from the direction of Xiangning County.
At about the same time, a swordsman rode his horse from the opposite direction of the official road.
The originally noisy official road gradually quieted down with the appearance of these two people.
Xia Fan sat in the carriage and looked at the two people carefully.
