Chapter 244: Ye Cheng and Thorn Letter (2-in-1)
Also today.
Jiang Cang brought fifty-two law enforcement guard disciples, thirty medicine hall disciples, carrying pills, ores, and other items, and more than 100 people came out of the sect and traveled all the way to the northwest without any delay.
After a bit of hurriedness.
The items and other items in the auction are pulled by horse-drawn carts, which are not too slow.
Stop and go, occasionally trim the wagon, and tighten the goods.
More than 50,000 miles.
Jiang Cang and the others spent more than half a month coming to a region called Yecheng.
And to this day.
The early summer season is falling, and the sun is hanging in the sky with hazy white clouds, eleven o'clock in the morning.
When Jiang Cang led everyone and drove the carriage to Yecheng official road, he felt the surroundings and found that the weather was not hot, but accompanied by a breeze blowing, and it was a little cool.
If it weren't for the cicadas that rang out from time to time in the nearby forest.
The summer in this world is really the same as the spring in the current world, and the temperature is just right.
But this is a small matter.
I have long been not afraid of this ordinary temperature, and it doesn't matter what it means.
Not to mention about 20 degrees, even if the hot sun is shining in the sky at 40 degrees, there is no problem with wearing cotton clothes, at most he is called stupid by others.
Including the many Medicine Hall disciples who followed him, even if most of them were acquired, they could push carts and horses all the way, and there was no sign of sweating.
Not to mention the innate law enforcement disciples, Xiao Zhou Tian is self-contained, just like himself.
Martial artists are like this, they have really practiced to a certain level, and they have long been invasive, which is the most obvious and ordinary effort to be rewarded.
But walk to the edge of the city.
Jiang Cang looked towards the city gate and saw that ordinary people in this world were also dressed in long-sleeved cloth clothes in summer, which was similar to that in ancient times, and it didn't seem to be hot.
In addition to the weather, they also have problems with their clothes, and the caftan can also be ventilated across the legs and sleeves, and of course it is not hot.
Some pedestrians who can come and go in front of the city also have short shirts and short plackets, and there are all kinds of them.
In a word.
This is the junction of the nearby hundred counties and the three middle sects.
It is not said that there is the prosperity of the big city, but it is also lively, and there are literati, farmers, coolies, merchants, and many warriors.
However, it is also a remote city, and the realm of martial artists who come and go here is slightly lower.
Jiang Cang looked at it and saw that the martial artists in the past were basically ordinary realms, and those who were higher were only the ones who entered the day after tomorrow.
Because the three nearby sects and sect masters are only congenitally consummated, or have only just entered the grandmaster.
Such a city, when it comes to prosperity, is not about the prosperity of top martial artists.
It is not prosperous, and there are pedestrians coming and going, full of popularity, and quite lively.
"Steward Jiang.."
and when they come to the city.
A medicine hall disciple accompanying him next to him took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and pointed to the gate of the city where people came and went, "This is Ye Cheng, which is in the hands of Senior Brother Gu, and he has not received the New Year Gift last year, we are here to make a trip, in addition to selling the pills to the nearby sects and families, we are also here to send last year's New Year to Senior Brother Gu." ”
"It's remote." Jiang Cangshen nodded approvingly, and replied: "The details of the account books in the medicine hall are clearly outlined one by one, and I am still the manager of the medicine hall now, so I know these things." I originally wanted to send it after a while, but now the group is traveling to the northwest region, and it is a coincidence that I personally brought it to him. ”
Jiang Cang said, took out a bottle of elixir in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me." ”
"Steward Jiang is serious." Yaotang hurriedly clenched his fists, "It's me who said too much.."
"There's nothing too much to say." Jiang Cang shook his head and led everyone to walk forward, "There is always a mistake in Baimi, I can't say that I will forget it one day, if it wasn't for the reminder of my senior brother, we would have run for nothing." With these pills, he didn't keep a few for his own brothers and sisters. ”
"Haha.." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere that may have been a little awkward just now suddenly dissipated, and they chatted on the road as before.
Time.
The atmosphere is still so harmonious.
However, the pedestrians and other martial artists who came and went next to them saw the costumes of Jiang Cang and the others of the Tianyang Sect, and they subconsciously gave up an aisle, and did not let Jiang Cang and his party line line up like themselves.
This is not only this city and this state originally belonged to the Tianyang Sect, they are also the people of the Tianyang Sect, so they should let it.
However, the matter of the destruction of the Feilin Sect half a year ago spread deeply during this time, so that all the sects in Qingzhou and the Lingwu Continent knew that the Tianyang Sect now has the strength to easily destroy the great sect of Yishan.
This symbolizes that the Tianyang Sect already has the 'combat power of the top sect's foundation. ’
What is lacking is time, so that there are more strong grandmasters in the general gate, and the middle and high-level ones are on top, this is not a top-level sect, but also a top-level sect.
That way, they must let it go, it is the admiration and fear of the strong from the heart, and the pride of pride.
It's just that they don't know the 'cause' of the Feilin Sect, it all comes from Jiang Cang, who made way for them.
Otherwise, the road will go further.
And at the same time.
Jiang Cang and the disciples saw that the pedestrians in front of them were scattered, and they also hugged their fists towards the pedestrians who gave way to the surroundings, so they were not polite and walked towards the city gate.
Because this time it is a 'business matter', when there is preferential treatment, it shows the prestige of the Tianyang Sect, as well as formality.
If it was a normal day, the queue would line up from the south end of the mountain to the north head, and no disciple would abuse his power and oppress any people.
"Senior brother.." When the guards and disciples in front of the city gate saw Jiang Cang and his party coming, they stood on both sides early, allowing the city gate to open without any obstruction.
If they hadn't thought that Jiang Cang and the others might have valuables on their carriage and didn't let outsiders approach, they would have trotted forward to take over the work in the hands of the senior brothers and helped push it all the way.
"There is labor." Jiang Cang hugged his fists at several guard disciples, and then led people towards the city.
"Don't dare.. Don't dare.." They hurriedly returned the salute, and watched Jiang Cang and the others walk into the city, only then did they stand at their original posts one by one, and then looked at the crowd of pedestrians and businessmen who had just fallen into discussion at this time.
"I heard that the Feilin Sect was killed 130,000 people in one day.."
When the pedestrians saw Jiang Cang and the others entering the city, they talked about these things, and they still imagined the scene of the river of blood in their minds.
Although now there is a big sun shining overhead.
But when these passers-by talked about these things, they were still shocked and not present, and they were a little scared and cool.
You must know that the 130,000 ants are spread out evenly, and they are all densely packed and covered, not to mention people who are more than 10,000 times larger.
It is really paved, it is all over the mountains, such as the ancient battlefield, people head to head, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
This scene really knocked out the reputation of the Tianyang Sect again, and ordinary people knew about it.
Especially in addition to the fact that the Feilin Sect was destroyed, there were also remarks that the Feilin Sect really deserved to die.
It's not just that they, as the people of the Tianyang Sect, must be facing their own sect, but it's also the matter of the Feilin Sect sending people to attack and besiege them, which is not right in the first place.
Because if the big sects were all messing around like this, the world would have been slaughtered a long time ago.
They are just ordinary people, they just want to live well, but they don't want to get involved in this war.
When the guards and disciples at the city gate heard their words, they shook their heads in their hearts, feeling that it was indeed good to be an ordinary person, and they didn't know the game between the gate sects.
This is a good thing, carefree, just need to fill your stomach.
It's not like these sect disciples, but do you know which sect doesn't kill people?
It's just that they did it cleanly and didn't leave any horses' feet.
It's like when they Tianyang Sect go out to travel to the disciples, sometimes they will disappear for no reason in any city or region, or die, no matter how they check.
Who would believe that this was not assassinated?
If you say that you are poisoned by eating, you are a liar.
I have to say that sometimes ignorance is indeed a blessing, at least you don't have to worry about being targeted by people from major sects when you are doing business.
And the guard disciple thought in his heart, everyone outside the city was chatting, and they didn't know that the whole cause of the incident was on the senior brother who had just entered the city.
But they don't know though.
But the ancient city lord of the city lord's mansion in the city.
He received a letter from the sect a few days earlier, and learned that Jiang Cang and Jiang Steward were coming! TV debut
Thereupon.
He heard the news of a guard today, and more than 100 disciples in the sect were coming, so he hurriedly left the city lord's mansion and went to the west of the city to pick him up.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" He trotted on the street, and did not let people lead the horse, but said to a guard next to him: "You go to Chenxuan Tower, say to the good shopkeeper, prepare wine and good food, let him not entertain guests in the restaurant today, and let them come to the city lord's mansion in a few days to calculate the lost silver." ”
"Yes.." Seeing that the city lord was in such a hurry, the guards turned around to receive the order and were about to leave.
But before he left, the city lord fished him again, and said again: "I didn't joke with him this time, it's not too late to let the good shopkeeper ... This time it's Steward Jiang who is here! ”
"Steward Jiang is here.." The guards were stunned for a moment, carried them away and left.
Including the officials around the city lord, when they heard the city lord say the word 'Jiang Steward', they also knew why their city lord was in such a hurry to greet him.
In the final analysis, it is the name Jiang Cang, and now everyone in the sect knows and knows it!
Because they knew that this steward named 'Jiang Cang' had only been in the sect for a year, he sat from the outer gate to the outer gate steward, and also served as the steward of the medicine hall and the treasury manager of the refining hall, all of which were important and important positions.
Until now, if no one can see that Steward Jiang has been cultivated by the elders and sect masters of the sect, then he is really blind!
In vain, he was a disciple of the Tianyang Sect.
Not to mention that the sect will make a big move for the sake of Jiang Guan's affairs, this purpose is self-evident, it is Jiang Cang's interests, and he has already represented the entire sect, at least the elders of a certain hall in the future!
"Congratulations to Steward Jiang for coming to Yecheng in person!"
Also halfway through.
After the city lord received Jiang Cang, he came up and didn't say anything else, but first came a set of whiskers and horses, and the words were not repeated.
Even the officials next to him have a warm smile on their faces, and if they continue to chase back and forth, it is like they have been rehearsed thousands of times, and they have not been rehearsed, so they really can't be so familiar with it.
Because not to mention whether Jiang Cang will be an elder of a certain hall in the future, just to say that the position of the steward of the medicine hall is much bigger than that of the outer gate, and it is in charge of the salaries of these city lords and officials. ’
For example, if you offend the steward of the outer gate, at most, the identity of the city lord and official is gone, but you can still stay in the sect or do some other duties.
But if they offended the manager of the medicine hall, Jiang Cang stuck their New Year's service, but they didn't send it, or they sent it later, one card, one delay, just a few years, they really couldn't help it.
Go back to the sect, that's an unauthorized departure.
Flying pigeons to spread the new, or find someone to pass it on, and finally talk about it, this little thing, about the elixir, no elder will care, and in the end, it will be the elder of the medicine hall who is in charge.
Whether the elders of the medicine hall are facing them or their own stewards, there is no need to say more.
In fact, it is just a sentence, the manager of the medicine hall sees who is not pleasing to the eye, he really wants to get stuck, wave his hand, and do whatever he wants.
If these city lords want to obtain the elixir, they can only smile at the senior brothers in charge, or leave the sect, or eat extra money.
But from ancient times to the present, although the matter of the medicine hall steward card person does not happen often, no city lord dares to make trouble.
Without it.
The fact that they can be the lords of the city is proof that there are people in the gate.
If they make trouble, they are embarrassing the people inside the door, and this can please them? Recommended ReadingTV//
You must know that the people in the door also need Nian Feng, and they are even more in the door, and the people in the medicine hall don't look up and look down, and if you can't figure out the people in the door and the medicine hall steward, the two of them will do him together, and it is really not far from death.
But.
Jiang Cang really doesn't have much of a fight for his own brothers and sisters.
When you hear the city lord say to take yourself to dinner, then eat.
The group walked together.
Then I came to the largest restaurant in the city.
It was really as the city lord had ordered the guards before, the restaurant was empty, and there were four men standing in front of the door, smiling and telling the visitors that the shopkeeper had something to do today, and refused to come and sit.
Many of the guests who came to eat were not angry, or made a big fuss, talking about who they were and why they didn't eat.
This is not a fool, everyone knows that there are distinguished guests in the restaurant today, and they may not be able to afford it, and there is no need to knock down a restaurant, cause trouble, or even kill yourself.
And Jiang Cang and his entourage walked into the restaurant to eat and wash the dust, which is a daily routine.
I've long been used to it.
Isn't it just drinking, no one seems to be better at this than himself.
If there is, let him stand up, Jiang Cang wants to see if he is good at playing with knives.
It is also a meal to eat and drink.
Make small talk.
Wait for the food and drinks to finish.
Go back to the city lord's mansion and live.
Jiang Cang also let the city lord release the news that the 'Tianyangfang City' will be opened every three years.
Nearby sects can come and participate.
And it is not limited to warriors, but local gentry, families, and scattered people, all of whom can come.
Just take out the equivalent treasure, or gold and silver, and you can buy something.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this 'Tianyangfang City' is similar to the situation of the 'Cheng Medicine Merchant' of Lingcaomen going to Fenglin City to sell pills.
It's just that the Tianyang Sect doesn't have so many pills shipped, and it benefits the major sects in the territory, so it opens every three years.
But it was also the day the news was released.
This night.
Several law enforcement disciples who had not rested were chatting in a courtyard, and while playing reversi, they suddenly noticed a slight footstep outside the courtyard.
"Anyone?"
A chess disciple stared, holding the white child in his hand, and glanced at everyone again, looking at the courtyard wall not far away, thinking that it was someone who didn't open his eyes and wanted to come to the city lord's mansion before the opening of Tianyangfang City.
And it didn't take a few breaths.
With a 'click', a figure dressed in black stood on the courtyard wall, revealing a pair of eyes all over his body, and he didn't look like a good person at first glance.
"The brothers of the Tianyang Sect have good skills.." When the man in black saw everyone looking, he spoke calmly, and removed the face towel again, revealing a rough face, as if to signal that he had no hostility.
"Late at night, I hope you won't be surprised." The man in black smiled and clenched his fists, "Because there is something down there, I want to send Jiang to stewardship.."
The man in black said with a smile, and when it seemed that he was really fine, he suddenly raised his sleeve and waved, and a knife flew out of his cuff!
And when these law enforcement disciples saw the man in black take off his scarf, they thought that he seemed to be kind, and he was talking about something, such as buying some pills earlier and going through the back door.
But this knife flashed and hit the courtyard, it was to do it!
But with a 'bang', there was a muffled sound in the wood.
There was an extra flying knife on the red lacquered pillar outside the house, and a black rope was hung behind it, and a ball of paper letters were tied.
The disciples heard the sound of entering the wood, and after seeing the flying knife letter beside them, they turned to look at the wall.
The man in black was gone.
The footsteps outside the courtyard could not be heard either, as if he and others could hear the sound before, and he deliberately revealed it.
"Gone.." The disciple who was playing chess tilted his head, thought left and right, and said to a disciple beside him: "You go and tell Steward Jiang, and the rest of the junior disciples will follow me to catch up with him!" ”
"Yes!" Five disciples were ordered.
"No need to chase.."
Just when everyone was ready to catch up.
Jiang Cang didn't know when he came to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the disciples who wanted to chase after him.
"Steward Jiang.." When a disciple saw it, he took down the flying knife letter, walked a few steps forward and handed it to Jiang Cang, "Just now, a person dressed in black came and left a letter, saying that it was to be sent to Steward Yujiang.. I'm just trying to catch up and ask for an understanding."
"No grudges, no grudges." Jiang Cang shook his head, "He doesn't want to stay, he doesn't want to say, just let him go." ”
The words fell.
Jiang Cang wiped the end of the flying knife in his palm, opened the letter, and saw that a few lines of handwriting were revealed on it, and it was also the identity of that person.
..
'In the lower willow technique, he is the master of the Xingshamen Gate. I have long heard of and admired the Jiang steward.
And a year ago, we Xingshamen found a strange object, I don't know what it does.
But thinking that this thing came from outside the territory, and thinking that this thing was extraordinary, he didn't dare to bring it to the city for trading, for fear that although the thing was sold, it would be remembered in the future.
It was only today that I heard the news that Steward Jiang had come to Yecheng, and the strange thing was not brought to his side.
In this..
In the next fight, I have asked the Jiang steward to move outside the city tomorrow, and personally bring strange things to see in the next place..'
