Chapter 32 Rushing to Beijing for the Examination
For Zhou Chen, the Xi'an Ling family was not a threat at all.
Don't look at the Xi'an Ling family, which is quite famous in the Jianghu martial arts, but Zhou Chen, as a martial arts powerhouse in the innate realm, his status and identity in the Jianghu martial arts are definitely more transcendent.
As for the identity of the official, how can Zhou Chen, the old man, be comparable to those who are not even small officials in the Ling family in Xi'an?
Therefore, Zhou Chen didn't pay attention to Ling Tengxiao and the others at all.
But when Ling Tengxiao and the others saw Zhou Chen turn around and leave like this, their hearts instantly became worried.
The meaning of the words Zhou Chen said before leaving was obviously not to expose the current contradiction between the two sides, but to hold a grudge against this matter in his heart.
Having a bad relationship with a Yayuan Ju is not what the Ling family in Xi'an is willing to see.
If this Yayuan Juren is named on the gold list in the next autumn season, it will be the beginning of a catastrophe for the Ling family in Xi'an.
And how could Ling Tengxiao and the others hope that they would cause a big trouble for the entire Ling family?
Without any hesitation or hesitation, they immediately stood up from the ground and quickly chased in the direction where Zhou Chen left.
It's a pity that before they could run a long distance, a very fierce aura instantly became suppressed in their hearts.
This aura was released by the sword, like a sharp long knife.
Zhou Chen just made it clear that he didn't want to deal with these Ling family's catches for the time being, so as a subordinate under Zhou Chen, it was naturally impossible for him to watch Ling Tengxiao follow up.
Therefore, Ba Dao directly released his own fierce sword qi, preparing to use this to deter these Ling family arresters, lest they come forward to disturb Zhou Chen.
Feeling the strength and terror of the sword aura emitted by the tyrant knife, the look on Ling Tengxiao's face became more and more ugly.
As the leader of these fast catchers in the field, Ling Tengxiao's strength and martial arts are naturally the most powerful.
Within a few breaths of feeling this sharp sword aura, Ling Tengxiao confirmed that this aura was the handiwork of a master of the sword path.
Unexpectedly, the Yayuan Juren they had just offended was not only unfathomable in his own strength, but even the servants around him were martial arts masters at the top of the realm.
What a powerful enemy they have provoked for the Xi'an Ling family!
For a moment, the eyes of all the fast catchers in the field couldn't help but focus on Ling Tengxiao's body, ready to let him come up with an idea.
The corners of Ling Tengxiao's mouth couldn't help but flush with a touch of bitterness, with his own martial arts strength, he was not the opponent of the cold middle-aged man in front of him at all.
Wanting to catch up with Zhou Chen under the obstruction of the tyrant sword, this is tantamount to a fool's dream for Ling Tengxiao and the others.
So far, the only way to know this matter is to inform the Ling family of all about it, and the head of the Ling family and the elders of the Ling family will discuss and solve it.
Immediately, Ling Tengxiao didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he rushed to Xi'an Mansion West Street with a group of catchers, which was where the Xi'an Ling family was located.
As for what the Xi'an Ling family would do, Zhou Chen didn't have much interest in knowing.
Because Zhou Chen still had more important things to do at the moment, he only kept this account in his heart for the time being.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first month of the Shangyuan Festival, and there are only about 20 days left before the start of the ninth day of the second month of the Spring Festival.
The venue of the examination is the capital, and people from all over the country in the Ming Dynasty will gather in the capital to participate in this examination, hoping to be able to win the title of the gold list.
Although the distance between Shaanxi and the capital is not very far, it is more than 2,000 miles, and it takes seven or eight days to reach it even if it is fast.
Originally, Zhou Chen planned to wait until the next day to leave for the capital to catch the exam after watching the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival.
It was precisely because it was time to participate in this meeting to test the Spring Festival, so Zhou Chenfang only kept the account of the Xi'an Ling family in his heart for the time being, and did not attack Ling Tengxiao and the others on the spot.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen and the Tong family separated from the inn.
The Tong family sisters and brothers returned to the Hanzhong Longmen Dart Bureau in the carriage they came, while Zhou Chen took another carriage bought by Badao and rushed in the direction of the capital.
As we drove north along the flat, spacious pipes, the weather was getting colder and colder.
From time to time, snowflakes began to fall in the air, adding a touch of whiteness between the world and the world.
The further you traveled towards the northern border, the thicker the snowflakes became.
By the time it came to the end, the snow on the pipes was already half a foot thick.
"Billy!"
The sword grabbed the reins and controlled the carriage to stop, and Zhou Chen also lifted the curtain and walked out of the car.
It's just the first month, and it's still the cold winter season.
Along the way, Zhou Chen and Badao also traveled north, and the wind and snow they experienced on the way became more and more huge.
Until now, when it was not far from the boundary of the capital, the snow on the road could already cover people's calves.
It would be completely impossible to drive a horse-drawn carriage on such a road.
"Childe, now that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, the carriage can't move anymore, let's find a place to shelter from the wind and snow first!"
Seeing Zhou Chen get out of the car, Ba Dao couldn't help but make a suggestion to him.
Zhou Chen nodded slowly, he first looked up at the white sky above, and then looked ahead.
Under the extreme eyesight, Zhou Chen faintly saw that there seemed to be a building in the distance.
I just don't know if it's an inn built on the side of the road, or some other building.
But it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can shelter from the wind and snow.
Zhou Chen raised his hand and pointed to where he was, and he said loudly: "Let's go, leave the carriage here first, and let's go to the place in front to avoid the wind and snow for a night." ”
After the words fell from his mouth, Zhou Chen picked up the package, turned over, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the building.
After jumping out of the carriage, Ba Dao took over the yellow-brown horse that was pulling the carriage first, and then walked over with Zhou Chen's figure.
Walking and walking, Zhou Chen suddenly seemed to have discovered something, he paused and looked at the official road not far in front of him, and he didn't make any other movements for a long time.
