Volume 1 Martial Arts Chapter 14 Wolong Tower in Jingnan City
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and once the rivers and lakes go, there is no way back.
Jingnan City, as the capital city of Jingzhou, has been a gathering place for heroes and heroes from all walks of life since ancient times, in this country where martial arts are flourishing, which child has just learned to walk and began to learn various martial arts, began to hold swords and guns, eighteen kinds of weapons here, but it is by no means only eighteen.
The fame of Wolong Tower in Jingnan City is prosperous, only after the Jingwang Mansion, as the most luxurious restaurant in the city, this Wolong Tower has always been the best place for those martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes.
And those who can go to this Wolong Tower to spend all day drinking and drinking will not be just ordinary market rangers, they have to have a little fame in the martial arts, otherwise they are embarrassed to walk into this Wolong Tower for half a step, that is, those who are the most poor, at least they are all martial artists.
But today, under the call of Jingwangfu, all kinds of heroes and heroes mixed in Jingnan City, chivalrous warriors, regardless of the dignity of their recent background, all gathered in the Wolong Tower, and even the prince of Jingwangfu, who was not seen by the dragon on weekdays, personally came to preside over the overall situation.
At this time, there are hundreds of people from the rivers and lakes sitting in the lobby of Wolong Tower, the scene is naturally extremely spectacular, but it is a pity that Wolong Tower is chartered by the prince today, and outsiders can not witness such a grand occasion.
Speaking of which, as one of the several vassal kings of the current dynasty of Wuguo, the name of King Jingxian does not know how many times overshadowed other vassal kings, only for the meritorious work of defending the southern frontier of Wuguo, there is Liu Kuangyi, the king of Jingxian, who is in Jingzhou, and the one in the dragon robe in the capital can also sit so peacefully.
The southern border of the Martial Kingdom is bordered by a tribe called the Tai Gu, a strange group known for their expertise in witchcraft and magic, which has been a major problem for the Martial Kingdom since ancient times.
The Taigu tribe is deep in the southern frontier, and has always relied on the strange witchcraft that has flowed out for generations, often invading the borders of the Wu Kingdom, if it were not for this King Jingxian to guard the border for many years and resist the invasion, I am afraid that Jingzhou would have been taken into their pockets.
And today, King Jingxian personally convened the people of the rivers and lakes to gather together, which is also related to this Taigu tribe.
Liu Kuangyi, the king of Jingxian, sat in front of the first seat, people were middle-aged, the majesty between his eyebrows and the evil aura accumulated by the enemy all the year round were revealed, at this time his expression was gloomy and a little scary, so that the people present were a little empty-hearted, and they were uneasy to guess that this was a Hongmen banquet?
But soon the loud voice of the prince was heard spreading in the lobby, suppressing the restlessness in everyone's hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been summoned here today because the king wants you to help him in a matter. ”
However, as soon as these words were finished, the people present couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts and looked at each other.
Who is the prince of Jingwangfu today?
That is one of the few remaining vassal kings in this dynasty, with monstrous power in his hands, sitting on the land of Jingzhou, what can make King Jingxian, who has made the barbarians in southern Xinjiang have a jealous heart, put up such a big battle and open his mouth to ask for help from these people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes.
However, everyone was puzzled, but no one asked, and the prince had just said this, so he would naturally explain it to them.
Sure enough, I saw King Jingxian's eyes scanned around, and then said with a solemn face: "Just yesterday, this king received a tip-off that the four princes of the capital went to the south of the country in micro-service, and just arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou, but they were robbed by a few Guyi people to the southern Xinjiang, and in the middle of the night yesterday, a secret letter was sent from the capital, the content of which must have been guessed by everyone, right?"
Hiss!
Almost at the same time, everyone gasped, and they only felt that the tricks were too ruthless, and they dared to do the evil act of kidnapping the prince.
The Gu Yi people, in fact, are their derogatory name for the Tai Gu tribe, because of the perennial evil, the two sides are sparing no effort to fight each other, and there is no shortage of Gu Yi people sneaking into Jingzhou on weekdays, and after some burning and plundering, they will capture the people to southern Xinjiang as slaves.
In the face of this kind of sneak attack, the garrison on the Jingzhou border or the soldiers and horses of the palace will often only pursue them to the border, nothing more, after all, going deep into southern Xinjiang is also an extremely dangerous thing for them.
But this time the situation is obviously different from the past, I'm afraid it's to fight to the death on both sides, and the Yi people are good at witchcraft and witchcraft, and countless battles have made the people of the martial arts frightened, and now the situation that seems to be a balance is still paved by the blood of countless people.
Even the prince dared to take it away, I'm afraid they wanted to provoke a large-scale war, after all, the martial country is by no means a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, if there is anything wrong with the four princes, the one in the capital gave an order, and the Wuguo iron cavalry army did not dare to enter the southern Xinjiang.
But the emperor and King Jingxian in the capital probably don't mean that, and the best explanation is to summon them here today.
Sure enough, King Jingxian took the lead in speaking: "The emperor has already expressed his attitude in the secret letter, I am guarding the country towards the Son of Heaven, and the Xiongnu in the north are eyeing the country, and the large-scale march is not conducive to the Wu State, so I try to sneak into the southern Xinjiang to rescue the four princes, and there is no need to fight with the Guyi barbarians." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the hundreds of people below were ugly, but they also understood what the prince meant, this is for their group of martial artists to enter the southern Xinjiang to rescue the kidnapped four princes, then the danger is not ordinary.
King Jingxian saw that everyone's faces were ugly, but he comforted: "And this time to enter the southern Xinjiang to save people, this king will personally take the lead, and please be able to enter it, but it is to accompany the king to help this king, and when he returns, this king will definitely not treat the people who help him." ”
After finishing speaking, King Jingxian stopped speaking, but leaned back to his seat and waited for everyone's reply, these people were indispensable to him, and as for how many people could agree to enter the southern Xinjiang with him, he also had an approximate number in his heart.
It's just that King Jingxian never expected that in this serious atmosphere, someone would come to disrupt their situation.
Outside the Wolong Building, an old man and a young man were standing at the gate, facing the blockade of the restaurant guy, the rickety old man pointed to the restaurant guy's nose and scolded.
"The old man came here to drink to save face, you fucking open the door and don't do business, the old man told you to close the door as soon as possible!"
When the guy saw that the old man was ragged and spoke wildly, he tried to quarrel with him with all kinds of bad words, but the young man behind the old man squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, "No one has opened the door."
The loud scolding came into the lobby of Wolong Tower, and the warriors who were weighing whether to agree to King Jingxian looked at each other, and King Jingxian, who was sitting in front of him, frowned, and asked with a gloomy face: "What's the noise outside the door?"
A man stepped forward tremblingly, for fear of angering the prince, and said tremblingly: "Lord Qiqi, it is a hunchbacked old beggar who is arguing outside that he wants to come in and drink, and the little ones don't let him, and this old beggar is spreading wild outside the door." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man's words fell, the door of the Wolong Building was kicked away, and he fell heavily into the lobby of the restaurant, and the man's face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he heard the hunchbacked old beggar scolding in his somewhat hoarse voice.
"Damn! Who dares to say that the old man is a beggar! Believe it or not, the old man will demolish your dilapidated restaurant now!"
