Chapter 10: The Glaive City
Yanguang City is a state and county in Jingzhou.
He is not the only way to cross Jingzhou to Liaozhou, but it is the most recent one.
Xu Han's original intention was not to take such a road that might be uncertain in order to save this little time. Even at the strong request of Li Dingxian's father and son, who wanted to stop by to investigate the situation in Jingzhou, this mind has not changed.
What really made Xu Han change his mind was that when everyone was resting two days ago, Fang Ziyu was interested for some reason, and begged Meng Liang to lend her the sword on his back to take a look.
How could this young master Meng withstand Fang Ziyu's pleading, and after several false refusals, he finally surrendered and handed the sword on his back to Fang Ziyu.
And when Fang Ziyu opened the white cloth wrapped around the sword body, revealing the purple sword body underneath, Xu Han's eyes on the side condensed, and he suddenly smelled a familiar smell from this strange long sword.
He snatched the sword from Fang Ziyu's hand a little rudely, and after a careful measurement, he looked at Meng Liang with a strange expression.
The other party seemed to understand the meaning of the inquiry in Xu Han's eyes, but nodded lightly and didn't say much.
That night, after everyone fell asleep in the inn, Xu Han got up alone and came to the hall of the inn, and when it was very tacit, Meng Liang, who was dressed in black, was already waiting for him there.
Seeing Xu Han coming, the other party stood up, smiled at Xu Han, and said, "Let's go?"
Xu Han bowed his head, so the two of them walked in the small city less than three hundred miles away from Yanguang City.
The conversation between the two is not long, there is no unnecessary temptation, it gets straight to the point, simple and clear.
"What is that sword...?"
"Evil Dragon. ”
"Wang Yangming asked you to bring it?"
"Hmm. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know, I can't fathom the old man's mind. ”
"I think I might know something. ”
"Huh?"
"Jianling is in trouble... It's a big kind of trouble. ”
......
Compared with Fengxia Town, where there are almost no pedestrians on the streets, Yanguang City is naturally prosperous.
Of course, there is indeed no comparison between a border town and a state and county, but since the moment they entered Yanguang City, everyone still felt a completely different atmosphere compared to other towns in Jingzhou.
The city wall is full of Chu character Xuan flags, although the streets are full of traders and pedestrians, but almost every shop signboard is also fluttering this Chu character Xuan flag without exception. Everyone walked on this street, whether it was the pedestrians on the street, or the conversations coming from the wine shops on both sides of the street, what they said the most was how the emperor of the Great Chu was sage, the Great Chu Dynasty would rule the world sooner or later, and boasted that their children had been baptized in the Holy Mansion and became holy soldiers, of course, whenever someone mentioned this matter, everyone around them inevitably cast envious glances at that person.
If someone who doesn't know what is going on here comes here, most of them will subconsciously think that this Great Chu Emperor must be a good way to govern the country and be the will of the people.
But Xu Han just smelled a different flavor from these various remarks that could be heard casually - how could there be such a beloved emperor in this world? No one is perfect, even a saint will find ways to find fault with him, let alone a dead emperor who ascended the throne halfway and most people have never seen it?
But whenever these people mentioned anything about the emperor, their brows showed an almost fanatical look of worship, and that alone was enough to make people wonder.
Most of the people walking on the streets of this glaive city realized this, and they looked at each other, and they all saw such doubts in each other's eyes.
"The Holy Soldier has arrived!" and at this moment, a shout suddenly came from not far away.
The crowd suddenly boiled, whether it was the pedestrians on the street, the diners in the inn, or the shopkeepers, they all put down what they were doing at this time, and looked in the direction where the sound came.
I saw hundreds of black-armored armor soldiers at the corner of the street walking forward, and behind them were about ten white-clothed young men, their faces were silent, and the aura around them was restrained, and without exception, Xu Han smelled the unique smell of the half-demon on their bodies, thinking that these teenagers were the so-called holy soldiers.
"Is this the boy who has succeeded in becoming a holy soldier today?" the people gathered on both sides of the street pointed to the procession and began to discuss.
"Yes, what a blessing to be a holy soldier to serve His Majesty!"
"It's a pity that my kid didn't survive this. ”
"That is also his honor, my child will be ten years old in three months, and I will send him to the Holy Mansion at that time, even if he dies, His Majesty will be faithful. ”
The conversation of the surrounding people reached the ears of Xu Han and the others at that time, and the faces of the people became more and more strange, if they talked about the good name of the Great Chu Emperor before, these people were all happy and convinced, and they could probably be blamed on the perfect public opinion offensive of the authorities, but if these ordinary people regarded the life and death of their children as less important than the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, then there would be too much weirdness in this.
You must know that the real establishment of Great Chu has only been less than two months, and how the other party can tame these subjects who were originally Great Xia so obediently is an unbelievable thing.
The sage once said that the principles of heaven are human desires, and the two-month period made the people completely forget the fact that they had been the people of Great Xia, and distorted the worship of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Meet the Holy Soldier!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Just as Xu Han was thinking about this, the crowd shouted again, and the team of the holy soldiers had already walked to the front of the crowd, and those people spontaneously let out such a chant, and then all knelt down at that time.
This made Xu Han and the others, who stood out from the crowd, particularly eye-catching in the crowd, and the armorers who walked in front of the team also gave Xu Han and the others fierce glances. Xu Han, who came back to his senses, hurriedly pulled everyone to bow down at that time, after all, they had more important things to do when they came to this Glaive City, and it was not a good thing for them to be put in the eyes of people with a heart too early.
And everyone is also a smart person, they all came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly bowed down, but the little prince Li Dingxian seemed to be quite angry about this, and did not bend down at the first time, until Li Moding beside him whispered a few angry words, and he was full of unwillingness to bow down.
At this time, those so-called holy soldiers happened to pass in front of Xu Han and the others, and the people near them resounded with bursts of exclamations at this time, and the atmosphere could be said to have reached its peak. Xu Han raised his eyes slightly, carefully observing those holy soldiers, wanting to sense something from their bodies. This kind of thing he did was extremely hidden, at least in Xu Han's opinion, unless the power of the Immortal Realm was great, it was impossible to detect his aura.
But just as his divine sense had just touched those holy soldiers, one of the dozen or so holy soldiers who looked the oldest young man suddenly frowned, and actually cast a gaze towards where Xu Han was.
Xu Han was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his divine consciousness while lowering his head.
The young man glanced at Xu Han deeply at that time, and then turned his head again.
Xu Han naturally felt this, and he wondered why this young man could sense his existence, and at the same time, he was secretly a little frightened. He felt that the other party might have noticed his move...
At this time, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd again, but unlike the previous praise, this time the noise sounded was a burst of hysterical scolding.
"That's him!"
"It's this thief again, obstructing His Majesty's great cause!"
"Yes, I heard that he also tried to destroy the Holy Mansion, but fortunately, the Holy Soldiers fought bloodily and finally caught this guy. ”
The crowd was talking like this, and bursts of unbearable curses also rose immediately, Xu Han and the others also raised their eyes, but saw that following the holy soldier parade on the street, there was a prisoner cart escorted by heavy soldiers, and on the prisoner cart was a young man in his early twenties, at this moment he was wearing a disheveled hair, and there were blood scabs that had long since coagulated everywhere on his clothes, and he was obviously seriously injured.
His face was also quite pale, and his eyes were gloomy, but in the depths of this gloom there was a bitterness that coexisted with sorrow and anger.
The scolding crowd seemed to be dismayed by this, so some of the vendors began to pull out the things they were selling, from eggs to cabbage, from soup to water, and they were thrown by the angry crowd onto the prisoner cart, and the young people, who were already sluggish, turned pale.
"Brother Jiang!" But at this moment, Li Dingxian, who was beside Xu Han, let out an exclamation, he shouted, his body suddenly stood up, and his posture seemed to be about to step forward.
Fortunately, Xu Han on the side was quick and stopped him.
But Rao is like this, and the armor who had doubts about Xu Han and others before still discovered Li Dingxian's abnormal movements.
"What to do!" The armor soldier shouted, and dozens of people surrounded him, his sword was unsheathed, and the sharp edge was pointed at Xu Han and the others.
The procession immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at Xu Han and the others at this time.
"Fang Cai felt that it was wrong, you are the accomplices of this thief, right?" The armor soldier led by him looked at Xu Han and the others with cold eyes, and drank in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the armor soldiers around them, the eyes of those people looking at Xu Han and the others also became cold, and the things flashing in those eyes seemed to be eager to cut Xu Han and the others on the spot.
Xu Han lowered his brows and stared at the armor soldiers around him.
Naturally, these people can't keep him, but once he makes a move, he is destined to attract the attention of people with intentions, and this will inevitably bury a lot of hidden dangers for his purpose of coming to Yanguang City and even the matter of envoying to the Great Zhou.
Thinking of this, Xu Han's heart sank, but he was by no means indecisive, and after handing a glance to everyone around him, the sword intent around him was about to strike.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"Wait. ”
"These people are friends under the next, I wonder if there is a misunderstanding here?"
Xu Han and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from, but they saw that among the group of holy soldiers, there was a young man looking at them with a smile.
Xu Han remembered that this young man was the one who had just noticed where his divine consciousness was...
