Chapter 299: King Yue's Eight Swords
Shouchun, a city with tens of thousands of households and hundreds of thousands of permanent residents, is one of the few big cities in Chu today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the state of Chu has declined early, as a former overlord, the heritage of hundreds of years has made this ancient Shouchun city glow with great vitality and vitality after becoming the capital of Chu.
The nobles of the Chu family, all the savings of hundreds of years have been put into this city. At the same time, there is an increasing style of extravagance.
On the wide streets, all kinds of Chu people are flowing endlessly. The shouts of buying and selling are endless. It seems that the war of the Qin State in the north has not affected here.
However, if it is a Chu person who has lived here for a long time, it will definitely be able to find it. Although everything seems to have not changed in Shouchun, the red light and green square in the past have indeed been cold in recent days.
Carriages going out of the city often block the city gates, so that carriages that want to enter the city need to wait for a long time. More importantly, most of these carriages belonged to the Damen dignitaries.
Although the people of Chu already knew about the war between the Qin State and the Chu State, the Chu people, who had always been in line with the great cause of the family, still did not realize that this time it would be a disaster to destroy the country.
Of course, there are many people who go out of the city, but there are also many people who go into the city. And among these people, there are many people with swords.
"Did you hear that? The armies of the State of Chu in Pengcheng and Juyang were scattered by the State of Qin! In a tavern, a man who looked like a person from the rivers and lakes whispered to his partner on the side.
"No wonder ......there are so many carriages out of town," the other man smiled with disdain on his face, glancing at the man before him with a look you know.
"Hehe, they have long been killed by the Qin State! Hmph, meat eaters despise! ”
"What, brother, when did you want to serve the country? Why did you go when the Wei State had not fallen? ”
"! How could Lao Tzu die for those who were going to die! If it's the Qin State, you can still consider it......" The man said here, and couldn't help but lower his voice, "Besides, brother, isn't your purpose for coming to the Chu State the same as that of my brother?" ”
The two looked at each other again and smiled, exchanged glances silently, then stopped the small talk and drank calmly.
And not far from them, by the window, two men and a woman listened to their conversation without a trace.
"It seems that there are really a lot of people who come to the sword pool,......" Han Fei picked up the wine bottle and said with a light peck.
"Greedy people, people who want to fish in troubled waters, everywhere!" Ying Zheng said disappreciatively.
Han Fei didn't refute, just raised the wine bottle and drank all the wine inside.
On the side, Zilan picked up the wine jug and filled Han Fei's empty wine bottle with wine again.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
In the midst of the bustling streets, there was once again a commotion. I saw that a carriage covered with black cloth, under the escort of a team of more than ten people, drove towards the city gate somewhat arrogantly.
"It's the people of Jianchi!"
In the restaurant, I don't know who exclaimed. Then there was silence. A thick wind of greed gradually spread in the air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Immediately after, the sound of footsteps sounded in the restaurant. Originally, it was quite a lively restaurant, but after a while, there were only a few people left.
The rest of the people are mostly dressed plainly, and at a glance you know that they are not too wealthy.
These people only glanced at the swordsmen who hurried downstairs, and then drank and ate again.
With the evacuation of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the royal city, most of the guards of the garrison city, who were originally small, were sent by those dignitaries to escort the family property.
However, even so, there is still an endless stream of people who want to be rich and dangerous. Robbery and murder, these are now outside Shouchun City, and they are no longer strange.
If it is said that those who target the carriage of the dignitaries and dignitaries want to rob money, then these people who deliberately target the sword pool of the Chu State are those Wu Yue famous swords in the sword pool.
I don't know when, in Shouchun, it should not be the entire Chu State, or even the border of the Chu State, it began to circulate that the Sword Pool of the Chu State was secretly transferring a large number of famous swords in the Sword Pool.
Some people may not care about money, power, and some people are not interested, but treasures such as famous swords are often more moving.
Because, every famous sword is unique, and having a famous sword also means having a unique reputation in the world.
How can this not make the world flock to it?
Therefore, whenever there is a carriage escorted by the people in the sword pool, it will always attract the attacks of countless swordsmen. Of course, most of these people died in some unknown corner.
However, the occasional news that someone had obtained a certain sword made the swordsmen go forward like moths to a fire.
"Another group of dying people......" Zilan muttered softly through the window and whispered.
Moyo waited a few more moments, and there was another commotion in the street.
"Brother Zhao, next, it's our turn." Han Fei put down the wine bottle and looked at Ying Zheng, who had assumed the name of Zhao Lin again, and said.
"Hmm." Ying Zheng responded lightly. The three of them walked towards the restaurant together without hurrying.
On the wide official road, on the brown earth, you can see patches of black traces at any time. Faintly, you can even smell a hint of blood.
A team of Chu troops dressed in ordinary sergeant clothes walked silently on the official road. Among them, none of them spoke casually, and their eyes were staring at the surroundings at any time.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Several figures, suddenly, burst out of the dense woods around them. couldn't help but say, and attacked directly at these Chu soldiers.
"Poof!"
Blood splattered everywhere, whether it was the Chu army or the swordsman, each had damage. In just a moment, several bodies lay on the ground, unable to get up again.
Twenty swordsmen, more than ten Chu troops were surrounded to the death, more than 30 people, none of them were mediocre, the most unlucky, and they were also people in the middle of the day after tomorrow.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
After a slight pause, the sword and Changge exchanged hands again. There is no inquiry, no reprimand, there is only life and death.
"Da! Da! Da! ”
As if to save his last breath to report the news, the generals of the Chu army led by him, under the cover of a group of subordinates, waved Changge and fled in a hurry towards the distance.
The swordsmen did not pay attention to the general of the Chu army who had fled away, even if they killed the general of the Chu army, it would not be much of a hindrance.
The thick murderous aura became more and more intense around the carriage.
"Click! Click! ”
An innate swordsman, relying on his own cultivation to far surpass others, took the initiative to walk to the carriage, and in front of everyone, lifted the thick black cloth, waved the sword in his hand, and smashed those boxes.
When the last box was also reduced to a cloud of debris, a strange long sword appeared in front of everyone.
