Chapter 017: Wuwei County
Liangzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, namely Wuwei, Zhenyuan, Shuofang, Yuyang, and Beiliang.
Among them, Beiliangcheng is the capital of a state.
Among the remaining four counties, Wuwei is the closest to the Northern Wilderness, which is an important border town, and the Liangzhou Military Government was set up here, where one of the most elite iron cavalry regiments of the Sheng Dynasty was stationed, called the "Longxiang Army".
The people of Liangzhou are fierce, and everyone is brave and martial.
Wuwei County is at war with the Northern Wilderness all the year round, so the people here are the most bloody and heroic, happy and vengeful, and often draw their swords to each other without saying a word, and blood will be splashed five steps.
At the same time, the county guards appointed by the imperial court did not have much real power, and mainly acted according to the eyes of the military government.
The current supreme governor of the Liangzhou Military Government is one of the four martial marquis of "heroic, martyrful, loyal and brave" of the emperor's decree, "heroic and martial marquis" Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi was originally a disciple of Confucianism, worshiped in the Jixia Academy in Linzi County, Yanzhou, and had many great Confucian commentaries in the world, with brilliant talents and outstanding literary talents.
In the first year of Xiangfu, the new emperor ascended the throne to hold Enke, Chen Qingzhi participated in the palace examination and won the third place in the first high school class, and got the eight-character evaluation of Emperor Sheng's "Wen Tao Wu Luo, the dragon and phoenix among the people", so there are aliases such as Chen Tanhua, Chen Wenwu, and Chen Longfeng.
Later, Chen Qing resigned from the official position of editor of the Hanlin Academy, and decided to devote his pen to Rong.
Compared with the "Dacheng Academy" of the Holy Teacher, and the "Yuanhe Academy" that advocates the knowledge of things and the heaven and earth of my heart, Yasheng is one of the most chivalrous saints in Confucianism.
Therefore, the Confucian students of the Jixia Academy should not only study the vast scriptures, observe the truth of heaven and earth, and cultivate their own morality, but also practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, deduce all kinds of military books and war books, and achieve the highest pursuit of the academy of "Wenneng Anbang, Wuneng Dingguo".
Chen Qingzhi is one of the most outstanding disciples of Jixia Academy in the past 50 years, and as a representative of Jixia Academy's academic philosophy, he has finally become a model of Confucian generals praised by the world.
It is precisely because of such a strong little uncle that Wuwei County has become the first choice for countless players who have devoted themselves to Confucianism and worshiped Jixia Academy after going down the mountain for the first time.
Moreover, these Confucian players basically walked the martial arts path.
Don't look at the appearance of politeness, in fact, taking off the Confucian shirt is a fake fighting man, which just fits the "simple" folk customs of Wuwei County.
Wuwei County closed the city at night and imposed a curfew, so Chu Chen stayed in a country inn more than ten miles away from the county seat, picked an upper room, and had some fasting meals, and then meditated cross-legged on the bed and quit the game.
The game time in Heavens is ten times slower than in reality, so seven or eight hours have passed in the game, and in reality it is only a little more than an hour and a half.
Chu Chen went offline and rested for a while, brewed a cup of hot milk, and browsed the latest game information by the way.
Half an hour later, he logged into the game again.
Outside, it was already dawn, and the sunlight was dim, shining through the slanted windows into the room.
After a night of pranayama and taking an expensive healing elixir, Chu Chen's injury to his left arm was no longer serious and he could move freely.
He got up and walked to the window, and looked up.
The weather is a bit overcast with dense clouds and a heavy rain is expected soon.
Turning around and calling the shopkeeper, Chu Chen asked for hot water and towels, hurriedly washed up, changed into a brand-new gray monk's robe, went downstairs and handed the shopkeeper a few taels of silver, and strode towards the county town.
In fact, this trip was not part of his plan, but purely improvised.
Chu Chen was going to go to the official mansion of the county town to report Xue Liang's merits in guarding Yundang Mountain for thousands of years and benefiting one party, and he had the right to save Xue Liang's dignity for free.
As for whether the government will pay attention to his petition and go to the court for Xue Liang, it is unknown.
In addition, he also has a purpose, which is to go to the black market in Wuwei County.
The border black market provides a platform for the human race and the demon race to communicate with each other, but after all, it is an act expressly prohibited by the imperial court, so it cannot be blatantly opened.
It's just that for some reason, the Wuwei Military Government turned a blind eye to the existence of the black market, did not suppress it excessively, and did not completely eradicate it.
Chu Chen went to the black market several times and traded some spiritual materials unique to the Northern Wilderness.
As long as you follow the rules of the black market, you usually don't commit crimes for any reason, and you are arrested by the military government and sentenced for collaborating with the enemy.
Chu Chen walked to the city gate of Wuwei County, and it really rained lightly in the sky, and after he accepted the interrogation of the city gate guards, he successfully entered the city.
Wuwei County is not prosperous, and the buildings along the street show the rough style of the Northland, with yellow bricks and thick soil, rare fancy decorations, and more practical and simple.
In addition, the pedestrians, peddlers, and soldiers who come and go on the street are all in a hurry, and they will scold each other if they occasionally bump into each other, and even look at each other unpleasantly, and they all have the tendency to roll up their sleeves and fight in the street.
At this time, you will see a strange scene, only to see squatting on the side of the road early, and scholars in Confucian shirts rushing up to persuade the fight, full of etiquette articles, sages and golden sentences.
They speak parchedly and sweatily profusely before they pull the angry NPCs apart and then put a conflict out of sight.
Of course, the "irascible old brother" of Wuwei County was definitely not moved by the articles of the sages and great virtues, but really couldn't resist the strength of these "scholars......
For Confucian players, educating the people and preaching etiquette are the basic lessons they have to practice when they go down the mountain.
Only by completing the coursework issued by the academy can you obtain good deeds, which can be exchanged for various exercises, pills, and magic weapons......
This is the main way for Heavens players to improve their cultivation in the early stage.
Like the content of Buddhism's coursework, the main thing is to transcend the soul and subdue the demons and eliminate karma.
The coursework of the Daomen is varied, mainly due to the large number of sects and complex purposes, so I will not list them one by one here.
Walking all the way, Chu Chen braved the rain to the outside of the county guard's mansion, looked left and right, there were few people, and the deserted door was full of birds. Under each of the two stone lions, there is a guard of the door, holding a grass root, squinting and napping with Erlang's legs.
It's still morning, and the government's tolerance is so tired, which shows how aggrieved the status of the county keeper is in Wuwei County.
"No matter how aggrieved you are, the county guard's own job is still irreplaceable." Chu Chen smiled and walked straight to the thick dusty drum, the red patent leather had long been mottled, and there were some tiny cracks on the surface of the drum sewn from the animal skin.
Chu Chen pulled out the drumsticks placed on both sides and struck them heavily.
Knock knock! Knock knock! ……
"Little monk Jun Hongchen, I would like to tell the Wuwei County Guard, and I have come to ask for the life of Xue Liang of Yundang Mountain!!"
"Little monk Jun Hongchen, I would like to tell the Wuwei County Guard, and I have come to ask for the life of Xue Liang of Yundang Mountain!!"
"Little monk Jun Hongchen, I would like to tell the Wuwei County Guard, and I have come to ask for the life of Xue Liang of Yundang Mountain!!"
Chu Chen secretly used his strength, and his breath sank into the dantian, and the sound of rolling thunder resounded throughout the entire mansion.
"Huh? What's going on!! ”
"Who is making a loud noise in front of the county guard's mansion, disturbing grandpa's dreams, looking for death!!"
The two idle officials were awakened first, and one of the spirits rolled over from the ground and got up, grabbed an eyebrow-high water and fire stick, looked around, and soon found Chu Chen beating the drum.
"Wild monk, don't knock, hurry up and leave!!"
"If you have any grievances, go directly to the military mansion to find Lord Yuhou or Master Sima, don't make a fuss here."
The two officials came up one on the left and one on the right, looking bored, holding the water and fire sticks to drive Chu Chen away.
Chu Chen was unmoved, still beating the drum.
"Hey? What a wild monk, why can't you understand people's words? ”
The servants quickly lost their patience, glanced at each other, and then swung their long sticks and slammed them on Chu Chen's back.
Bang!
Bang!
There were two muffled sounds in succession, and the water and fire stick wrapped in black iron sheet snapped in response.
The servant looked at the half-cut stick in his hand in disbelief, and after a few seconds of staring blankly, he retreated back again and again in horror, almost staggering and falling down.
"Wild monk, you are so bold that you dare to attack the government officials, you ......"
One of the officials pointed at Chu Chen tremblingly, and scolded fiercely.
At this moment, the scarlet gate of the county guard's mansion "creaked" open, and out of it came out two teams of stubborn armor soldiers, walking with fierce steps, sharp eyes, and quickly standing in two rows.
Then, a young man in a white robe embroidered with a pale golden lark stepped out, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like stars, his aura was magnificent, and there was a faint majesty around him.
Chu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.
This person is obviously a Confucian gentleman, but there is a golden iron horse when he walks, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
