Chapter 22: The Temple of the Emperor's Fist
"Freshly slaughtered meat!"
"Fresh vegetables and fruits, very cheap, don't miss it!"
As soon as I walked into Longxi City, there was the sound of street vendors shouting everywhere. It is completely different from the small town where Ma Yin is located before, as a large city, it is a thriving and prosperous scene. I don't know if it's because the Huangquan Temple is in this city, the folk customs here look very strong, and the people walking on the streets, even in the slightly chilly autumn, they wear a layer of thick linen vests.
Gu Xuan followed Cyber to the conference room of the garrison team in Longxi City, as the captain of the imperial capital garrison, Cyber Bo was more than the captain of other places in terms of official position and power.
Therefore, the officials and garrison personnel of Longxi City also attach great importance to the arrival of cyber. For example, when Gu Xuan entered the city gate this time, there were no soldiers who were not long-sighted to collect the entrance fee.
After learning about the collusion between the Shuke mercenary group and the bandits, the officials of Longxi City immediately issued a wanted notice to the Shuke mercenary group, and by the way, they sent a garrison to the northwest forest and mountains to search for all the remnants who had not had time to escape.
Then, they arranged separate places for Cyber and Gu Xuan to live, which saved Gu Xuan the effort of finding a hotel.
"Gu Xuan, can you tell me how you met Ruyao Taishou?" In the conference room, the others were busy with their own affairs, leaving only Gu Xuan and Cyber Bo.
So, Gu Xuan told Cyber about getting acquainted with Lan and then helping to eliminate the thieves and thus getting acquainted with Ruyao Taishou. He didn't say that he killed the thief by himself, but just helped.
Cyber nodded with relief, and clinged to the Ru kiln Taishou to communicate.
From this, Gu Xuan also learned a situation. That is, the relationship between Lan and Ruyao Taishou is just secretly lovers. This situation is very popular in aristocratic circles, and Lan's excellent appearance and character, it is no wonder that Ruyao Taishou will take a fancy to him.
As for Gu Xuan himself, he used his relatives to be attacked by thieves and he was the only one left, to prevaricate his life experience of cutting off the red pupils. The corners of the right person's eyes were slightly red, revealing an expression of relief that had been avenged for helping to kill the thief later.
The more Cyber listened to Gu Xuan's explanation, the more satisfied he became. As for the truth or falsehood of his life experience, he didn't care. The empire has almost no control over the household registration of residents in the territory, after all, there are countless dead people in the territory at any time and anywhere, and it is impossible to manage it at all.
In fact, the technology of slashing the red pupil is also very crooked, no different from ancient times. At night, most of the lighting is candles, and there is also a kind of luminous gemstone that was used exclusively by the aristocracy. However, in terms of human body transformation and alchemy, the degree of science and technology is extremely high.
After that, Cyber was tested by medical personnel and went to the Huangquan Temple with Gu Xuan.
"It's an honor to be the captain of Cyber here." The director of the Huangquan Temple received it in person, and with a big belly, he said flatteringly.
Cyber's indifferent jaw didn't communicate too much with this director. Minister Earnest was born in the Imperial Fist Temple, and his personal executioners, the Rakshasa Four Ghosts, were also selected from the Imperial Fist Temple. There is no doubt that the minister has a lot of power in the Huangquan Temple.
But the Imperial Capital Garrison where Cyber is located does not need to give the minister this face, but the Imperial Fist Temple must give the garrison a face.
The two major forces of the imperial capital, except for the top person in charge of the assassination organization: Minister Earnest. There is also a unit that is the Imperial Capital Garrison, the organization responsible for the security of the Imperial Capital, and its supreme leader: General Bude!
General Bude is truly dedicated to serving the empire, and he is not polite to the ministers at all, but according to the ancestral precepts, military generals cannot interfere in politics, so although he is aware of the corrupt behavior of the ministers and others, he does not interfere, but only uses his authority to protect the officials of the conscience faction.
The same Minister Earnest was well aware of this, and on the surface he gave enough face to General Budd's men. Secretly, he will use various methods to exterminate those officials of conscience.
Gu Xuan silently observed all this on the side, gave the entry letter to the supervisor according to the process, and then arranged the itinerary, precautions, identity certificate, and so on.
There is no fixed teaching time in the Imperial Fist Temple, and every few days there will be strong people such as officers and powerful mercenary groups who have come out of the Imperial Fist Temple to give a teaching lecture on a fixed basis. Usually, you can train anywhere in the Huangquan Temple, of course, there are seasonal restrictions, and it is impossible to disturb others when you are training when you have lunch at noon.
And although the name of the Huangquan Temple has a "fist", not everything in it is related to boxing. There is a certain inheritance of all kinds of weapon moves, but the most famous is the fist.
In addition, the Huangquan Temple also has "coaches", they are all strong people cultivated by the Huangquan Temple, and they usually occasionally teach. But if you want to grasp the deeper content beyond teaching, you have to pay some money and find some connections to be able to learn.
After all, martial arts are not spread, and this truth is the same no matter where it is. The fact that the Huangquan Temple can provide a platform for learning and communication alone is enough to make countless people want to become protégés.
When completing the process step by step, some of the students in the Imperial Fist Temple looked at all this indignantly.
"When I first came in, it was just an ordinary attendant."
"Me too, who is this newcomer?"
"Hmph, it's the back door again, look at the way this supervisor stutters."
Some of the academies whose family background was only the descendants of military generals or minor nobles looked at Gu Xuan very jealously. Without him, they not only spent a lot of money knocking on the door to enter the Huangquan Temple, but also had an assessment. If the assessment is unsuccessful, not only will the money not be returned, but it will not give the slightest chance to start over at all.
It can be said that these people are all difficult and dangerous to enter the Huangquan Temple, Gu Xuan is good, and there is no need for assessment. Looking at the way this supervisor stammered, I'm afraid there is no need to pay a knock money, how can they not be jealous?
"Stop gossiping, it's still training time." Suddenly, a light and magnetic voice stopped these people from gossiping.
The venue, which had immediately become noisy due to small talk, instantly quieted down. Some of the people with their backs turned their heads with a cool face, but it turned out that the people who seemed to be the source of the sound also closed their mouths for idle talk.
This is a girl with dark blue eyes and long brown and yellow hair. Different from her slender and petite figure, she is holding a spear of more than one meter, and she is devoting herself to training, meticulously sitting on the basic movements of marksmanship.
Unlike other girls who love cleanliness, hot sweat is dripping down her forehead at this moment, and she is covered with her face, neck, arms, and legs. However, these beads of sweat did not make the girl's body exude an unpleasant smell of sweat, but because each condensed bead of sweat could reflect the soft sun in the sky, making the whole person seem to emit a layer of soft golden light.
She is none other than the former minister who has just resigned from the field: Joly's daughter: Spiya!
Not to mention the identity of the former minister's daughter, the noble status she inherited is even higher than the current status of General Estes!
If anyone can marry Spiya, it will definitely soar. But so far, there has been no one worthy of her, after all, in terms of family background, almost no one can compare with Spiya. Then only the only thing left is to match her with strong strength, but Sbiya is talented in spearmanship, and her strong strength makes these crooked people sad.
