Volume 2: Sword Cultivation in the World Chapter 40 The more the merrier
"Ah Zheng is also my younger brother, don't worry. Lin Zhengya said with a smile.
was temporarily requisitioned by the martial arts department of the county town, Lin Xiao decided not to find a way to refuse, but to face it, and then for a period of time he was going to leave Lin'an County for Kunning County, fortunately, Yuanwu and Lin Zhengya were here, enough to take care of Zhou Zheng.
But then again, if there was no one to help take care of Zhou Zheng, Lin Xiao would definitely be reluctant to go to the county seat.
"Ah Zheng, brother is not here, don't keep thinking about skipping school. Lin Xiao stared at Zhou Zheng, who didn't want to go to school for more than 300 days a year, and said with a smile.
"Got it. Zhou Zheng wilted like a frosted eggplant, and replied weakly.
"Study hard, make progress every day, and bring you a gift when my brother comes back from the county town. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Then I want the little clay figurine. Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have one of my classmates in the academy, who bought it from the county town, and always took it out to show off, but never let others touch it." β
"No problem. Lin Xiao agreed without hesitation.
"Brother......" Zhou Zheng suddenly squirmed and said: "If it's expensive...... Then don't buy it. β
"Peace of mind. Lin Xiao rubbed Zhou Zheng's hair and said with a smile, it's just a clay figure, how expensive can it be.
Leaving the Zhou Mansion, Lin Xiao came to the Zhenwu Division to meet Xiao Tianyu with a letter from Lin Sishou and led the horse to leave the inner city and go west, which was the direction of Kunning County.
Remember the URL et
The horse's hooves were flying, the dust was like smoke, and the sound was like a drumbeat, and it didn't take long for Lin Xiao to see a dilapidated pavilion with many traces of repair, which was the Liangxin Pavilion.
A few miles further, I saw Yizhuang.
Yizhuang under the sun is not as gloomy as it used to be, but it is also silent, there seems to be no one, it should be said that the vast majority of people staying in Yizhuang are dead.
The government should have arranged for someone to be a 'village owner', Lin Xiao thought with a little curiosity, but this has nothing to do with Zhenwu Division.
Cross the village and continue westward.
"Lao Xiao, when you get to the county town Wusi, lend me twenty meritorious deeds. Lin Xiao said.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Tianyu glanced at Lin Xiao vigilantly.
"I guess we will be dismounted after we get to the county town of Takeshi. Lin Xiao pondered and said, with a smile on his face: "So I plan to start first, and use twenty meritorious deeds as a reward for them to take the initiative to challenge me." β
In fact, Lin Xiao planned to use the same set of practices when he first arrived at the Baiyun General Gang to the martial arts division of the county town, and the number of martial artists in the town of a county town must be more than that of the county seat, and when the time comes, he will be able to accumulate some more defeated enemies, so as to get rewards.
"What a reward, it's not a hacked martial arts. Lin Xiao was slandered again.
Every time he defeated or killed the enemy, Lin Xiao didn't know how many martial arts were hacked, but the white-robed young man who looked unserious said that it was most of the martial arts, and it was estimated that it was at least seventy percent.
It's really hard, I feel like I'm working for someone, the martial arts that I get from defeating the enemy and killing the enemy normally are like salaries, and the number of defeated enemies and the martial arts obtained by the streak are like bonuses.
"Lend you twenty, and pay me back thirty. Xiao Tianyu said.
"No problem, but you have to help register for merit, and everyone who wants to challenge me must pay a little merit as a challenge fee. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Then you will pay me back forty merits. Xiao Tianyu said the words of a profiteer in a flat tone.
"Good. Lin Xiao agreed without hesitation, meritorious service or something, Lin Xiao actually didn't care so much, what he really cared about was the battle record, or martial arts.
Although the battle record can't be used to improve the Dajiang Dongliu style, the Cloud Breaking Sky style and other Shenxiao Mountain Kendo basic styles, but it can be used to improve those exercises and martial arts, but it is proper, with the Great River East Flow Style and the Cloud Breaking Sky Style, Lin Xiao doesn't need those exercises and martial arts?
Apparently not.
For now, martial arts are still very important, although the white-robed young man's statement that there are two sword cultivators in the world sounds exciting, Lin Xiao doesn't have any lofty ambitions.
Walk, keep your feet steady, one step at a time.
The official road is wide, the grass and trees on both sides are somewhat withered, and the horses are galloping, and along the way, there are some hurried pedestrians, carriages full of goods, and warriors riding horses and swords.
There was nothing that would have caused you to fight at a glance, and there were no robbers to rob your money, and the journey to the county town was smooth.
When approaching the county seat, the official road was divided into four parts, and Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu took one of them.
The city wall of the county city is two meters higher than the inner city of the county, and it is also thicker, and there are city guards wearing ancient armor at the head of the city wall, and there are also city guards guarding the open city gate, with condensed eyes, staring at the people coming and going, with keen perception, Lin Xiao can generally feel that the city gate guards are all internal martial artists, as for what level is in the internal training, then it can't be felt.
Using internal martial artists to guard the city gate is really worthy of being a county town, and this grade is one level higher than the county seat.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu turned over and dismounted, leading the horses to the city gate.
I saw a wooden sign erected on one side, on which was written the vermilion characters showing the body post, and the pattern of the photo post was also painted next to it, which was for those who could not read, and there was a horizontal fence at the entrance of the city gate, so that people could not enter and exit freely, and the appearance of strict guards.
"Do I need to show a photo card every time I enter the city?" Lin Xiao said in surprise, there is no one in the inner city of the county.
"Not in general. Xiao Tianyu said without hesitation: "There are only some special circumstances, such as big officials coming to inspect, or there are murderers and villains who are causing chaos in the city. β
As for which situation it is now, Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu are not clear.
There are four teams lined up in front of the city gate, one team is the longest, all of them are some people dressed in relatively ordinary clothes, it is the team of ordinary people, one team is all kinds of chariots and horses, it is the team of merchants, one team is a team of rich people who are dressed extraordinarily, and the last team is empty, it belongs to a special team, Xiao Tianyu took Lin Xiao to the special team, and then took out the Zhenwu sticker of the Zhenwu Division.
As soon as he checked it, the city guards showed a smile and returned the Zhenwu sticker to Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu, and the horizontal fence was immediately moved for Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu to lead the horses through.
Lin Xiao could clearly feel a tense atmosphere, as if something really had happened.
The streets of the county town were much wider than those in the county, and at least one more carriage could be carried by horse-drawn carriages, and there were neatly built houses on the left and right sides.
"The county seat is several times larger than the county seat, but it is not divided into inside and outside like the county seat, but is divided into fang cities. Xiao Tianyu was familiar with Lin Xiao's introduction: "The entire Kunning County City, a total of sixteen city gates, nineteen square cities, usually there is a city gate in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which is also used for the army to enter and exit, the largest square market is called Qingzhufang, the smallest market is called Luzhufang, whether it is the territory or the degree of prosperity, Qingjiafang."
It is several times better than Luzhufang, and it is not inferior to the inner city of Lin'an County. β
Lin Xiao really didn't know much about the county town, and when he heard the words at this time, he was immediately surprised.
There is no so-called distinction between the inner and outer cities, but there are nineteen fang cities, and the largest green worm fang can be compared with the inner city of Lin'an County, so the sum of the nineteen fang cities is far more vast than that of Lin'an County.
"Where are the Wen family and the Cao family?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.
"The Wen family is the first martial arts family in the county, but it is not in the Qingfufang, but in the Hongfufang, which is second only to the Qingfufang, and the entire Hongfufang is under the control of the Wen family, in addition, the Hongluo Fang is also under the control of the Wen family, and some of the industries in the Qingfufang also belong to the Wen family. Xiao Tianyu said without hesitation, he was one of the people who knew the inside story, and knew that Lin Xiao killed Wen Jingxu, and there was a grudge between him and the Wen family: "The Cao family is not a martial arts family, it is an ordinary family, located in Changqing Fang, occupying half of the Fang City, and the industry is dominated by restaurants, and there are evergreen restaurants of the Cao family in many Fang cities. β
Lin Xiao was even more surprised, although he was a newcomer and didn't know the concept of Fang City very well, but he thought that he could sit on two Fang City and have some industries in the largest Fang City, the Wen family's financial and material resources were very terrifying, and they were a martial arts family, so they were indeed fierce rivals, and they were fierce rivals that they could not fight against now.
Of course, Lin Xiao actually didn't have the idea of going against the Wen family, but the grudge against Wen Jingxu had already been settled, but fortunately, Brother Axe took action in time to deter the Wen family, so that the Wen family did not retaliate directly, but Wen Jingxi also came to the door and gave him a sword, and also took away the Starstream Sword, threatening to break through to the true martial artist as soon as possible, so that she could kill.
Lin Xiao didn't want to be an enemy of the Wen family, but Wen Jingxi's sword had to be returned, and the Starstream Sword had to be taken back.
"The headquarters of the county town Takeshi is located in the Qing Fu Fang, but there is a Fang Division in each of the other eighteen Fang Cities, which is headed by a chief envoy. Xiao Tianyu said with his head in his head.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu are now in Ximingfang, one of the nineteen markets, which is a bigger and more prosperous market than Luzhufang but not as good as Qingfufang, and it is considered to be in the middle and lower among the nineteen markets.
"Ximingfang was monopolized by a gang a few years ago, but now it's not clear. Xiao Tianyu said.
"Lao Xiao, you know so much, you shouldn't be from the county town. Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.
"Jin Wat Fang's Xiao family. Xiao Tianyu didn't hide it: "It's barely a martial arts family." β
The two of them didn't wander around slowly, and they didn't have anything to hang out about, so they ran directly to the Green Worm Fang.
There is a clear distinction between the fang market, some are separated by a street, some are separated by a stream, some are separated by a small forest, and so on.
From Ximingfang to Qingfufang, during the period, they had to pass through two more markets, and the two walked briskly, and it took nearly an hour to step into the boundary of Qingfufang.
The Frog Workshop is the largest city, and the place where the Takeshi of the Town is located is located in the center of the Frog Workshop.
Outside the gate of the Takeshi headquarters in the county town, there is also a statue, a statue wearing a sword with a blurred face, and a strange beast crawling next to it.
This statue is the King of Zhenwu who founded the Zhenwu Division.
Compared with the county and town martial arts headquarters, the faΓ§ade of the county town martial arts headquarters does look bigger and more magnificent, and the style is not ordinary, but Lin Xiao doesn't care about these, what he really cares about is how many masters there are in the town martial arts division, and it is best to be the kind of martial arts master who has achieved great success in internal training, completed internal training, and practiced extreme cultivation internally.
The more the merrier.
