Chapter 239: The General Trend of the World
I have to say that Yuan Hao's judgment, or his ability to read the map, is still very good. After a night of running, a group of three people finally arrived at the nearest big city from the valley, at the moment of entering the city, the three of them looked up at the plaque on the head of the city, only to see that on the ancient and banban thirteen zhang city wall, three ancient Lishu characters were greatly carved on that side - Jiangxia City, this is the name of this city. Just like what Yuan Hao said to Concubine Xuan at the beginning.
"Sure enough, it's here......" Yuan Hao frowned slightly.
There was nothing troublesome about getting into town. Although there are also minions guarding the city who are checking the crowd over there, Yuan Hao and the three of them are obviously dressed as Jianghu people, and they are holding a simple but low-key long sword with a luxurious style in their hands, and the momentum is so extraordinary, naturally there is no person who is not long-eyed to do anything to flirt.
After all, the minions of the rivers and lakes are different from the soldiers of the imperial court. The soldiers of the court can get by, but the minions of the rivers and lakes must be very discerning. You must know that for the people of Jianghu, there is no moment that is not a troubled time, and there is no moment that is not a sword and sword. When the rivers and lakes fall silent, then the rivers and lakes are really bad.
This is the general trend of the rivers and lakes.
The general trend is like this, if you don't agree with each other, look at you, that's the norm. As a minion, if you don't have any eyesight, I'm afraid that if you can survive for more than a month, it will be your fate.
Obviously, Yuan Hao didn't encounter such a strange thing that would kill himself.
Walking on the bluestone paved streets, you can feel the chaos and prosperity of this unique world. Whether it was Yuan Hao, Shi Fei Xuan, or Fu Junxuan, they couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
A street is more than ten miles long, and Yuan Hao and they entered the city in less than a quarter of an hour, and the road has not gone for a mile, but the smashing, looting, and burning that happened in front of Yuan Hao's eyes have caused seven or eight homicides, and some of them are simply two gangs fighting on the street, directly killing and escaping from another street.
The sound of selling, solicitation, shouting, fighting...... Intertwined in this street. Listening to this song, people are numb and doing their own things. It is time to do business to do business, to be in a hurry, to eat to eat...... Except for the unlucky guy who happened to be caught in it, no one would look at each other curiously.
Yuan Hao looked seriously into the eyes of several passers-by, and saw numbness, disgust and helplessness from them. This kind of chaos is commonplace for them, and there is nothing unusual about it.
"It's really confusing......" Concubine Xuan said. With a frowning brow, she was also extremely dissatisfied with such chaos.
"Isn't there anyone to end this?" Fu Junxuan asked.
"How to end? This is a world where force is respected, all capable people have basically gone to practice martial arts, and the ideas they accept are also the same set of martial arts rules, do you expect them to have any good brains to deal with these ants? The power of individuals in this world has been absolutely magnified, and the team of 10,000 minions is not the enemy of a master, but it is real. Yuan Hao shrugged, and was also helpless about this.
"That's because they don't have the power...... I think we need to make some changes. Concubine Xuan said. In a trance, Yuan Hao saw something called a sense of mission in her.
"This ......" Yuan Hao knew what Concubine Xuan meant. He also felt uncomfortable in such an environment, but he was still unsure what to do, whether to make a big change, or not.
For him, those changes and all that are things to be considered later. As for the moment, it is naturally better to know more about the current situation.
"What to do, we must understand the general trend of the world before we can determine the ......" Yuan Hao endured the disgust in his heart and continued to move forward as calmly as possible.
"The span of this world is very large, and there are decades of hard work before and after...... Broadly speaking, it can be divided into three periods, each with a different theme and level of force. If it's the early stage, it's okay to say, with our current strength, we can still make waves. If it's the later stage, I'm afraid that saving my life is the most important thing......" Yuan Hao shrugged helplessly.
"Okay, do what you can...... "Neither Shi Feixuan nor Fu Junwu are absolute idealists, as old rivers and lakes, they naturally know when to do something.
If you want to understand the general trend, you naturally have to go to a well-informed place.
For ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, where is the place where they are well-informed? Naturally, it is the place where restaurants and restaurants converge.
"Wutong House", this is the name of this restaurant. It is located on some streets in the south of the center of the city, at the intersection of two streets, and is a place where merchants gather and luxuriate.
In front of him is a restaurant, behind is an inn, and the middle is connected by a cloister. Its restaurant is four floors high, red brick black tile, pi is scaly, the end is carved eaves to reflect the sun, the painting building flying clouds, showing a bit of exquisite elegance. As the best restaurant on this street, Wutong Ju is very lively, with many guests coming and going, many of whom are people with swords and swords.
There are more people in the rivers and lakes than businessmen, which is also one of the characteristics of this world.
Yuan Hao looked at him coldly, followed the shopkeeper, and led the concubine Xuan and Fu Junwu to the second floor of Wutong Residence.
Similar to most restaurants in the world, Wutong House is divided into several floors to cater to different levels of guests. In the middle of the sycamore house, the first floor is the canteen hall, and the second floor and above each have elegant rooms, but one floor is larger than one floor. With Yuan Hao's appearance and demeanor, he could have gone to the third floor, but he sat down by the window on the second floor. It's not that he's shy in his pocket, it's that there are more people on the second floor.
When there are more people, there will be more conversations, and Yuan Hao will listen to the more news he gets. Besides, the second floor is different from the first floor, although the people here are not so expensive, but compared with the businessmen on the first floor, there are more people in the rivers and lakes.
As the so-called "chivalry violates the ban with martial arts!", and it is also said that "the poor are rich and martial", except for some people who have "bad" habits, there are really few people in these rivers and lakes who are really short of money. Although they are not qualified enough to go up to the third and fourth floors, they also have their places on the second floor.
As soon as Yuan Hao went upstairs and saw this, he was naturally secretly satisfied in his heart. When the shopkeeper came over, Yuan Hao ordered a few side dishes, wine and food, and talked about it with Fu Junwu and Shi Feixuan, and naturally this discussion was just pretending.
In fact, while the three of them were talking on the surface, they secretly listened carefully to what the diners were talking to each other. Jianghu people talk about Jianghu affairs, which is similar in that world.
Yuan Hao listened carefully and carefully summarized and analyzed, but he quickly understood what time it was:
The world in the north will attack the city with great fanfare, as if it has become the most powerful strength in the limelight on the rivers and lakes, and it has the meaning of swallowing the eight wildernesses and sweeping Liuhe.
Stimulated by the Tianxia Society, the city that is not a city entrenched on the edge of the Huai River for thousands of years - Wushuang City is also unwilling to be lonely, and it is ravaging Jiangdong and Lingnan along the south of the canal.
Today's world, today's rivers and lakes have gradually become a situation of confrontation between the north and the south. The north is the territory of the Tianxia Society, while the south is the strength of the Wushuang City.
Although Jiangxia City is a city in the south, because it is located at the intersection of the three rivers of the Yangtze River, there are all kinds of people in the south and the north. Yuan Hao heard about the three hall masters of the Tianxia Association from their mouths.
In the legends of the rivers and lakes, the three major hall masters of the Tianxia Society, Qin Shuang of the Tianshuang Hall, Bu Jingyun of the Feiyun Hall, and Nie Feng of the Divine Wind Hall are already the three most outstanding young masters of the Central Plains martial arts, and their martial arts are not inferior to the old grandmasters.
In fact, in these years of the Tianxia Society's conquest, Xiongba has not made a move for a long time, and half of the territory of the Tianxia Huitai has been defeated by the three major hall masters of the Tianxia Society.
There have been many predecessors who have suffered heavy casualties in battles with them, and all of them have been destroyed. The rule of the world will be "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die", and anyone who stands in front of him will be beaten until death!
It's so domineering. Listening to everyone's words, sorting out the general trend on the rivers and lakes, Yuan Hao understood that he was still in the plot of the first part of "Fengyun", at this time the world will be in full swing, and the Wushuang City is also like a rainbow, the mud bodhisattva may not have been found by Xiongba, and his criticism for the second half of his life has not yet been said.
Fengyun is naturally still fighting for the hegemony, and the master-apprentice anti-purpose thing has not happened yet. Not only that, but many things related to Fengyun in this world have not happened yet.
But......
Something may be imminent.
Because Yuan Hao heard someone say: "Have you heard? The son of Wushuang City is about to get married." ”
"Who is the woman?"
"It seems that he is also from Wushuang City...... Now the Wushuang City has been lit up, and I heard that the World Association will also send people to celebrate......"
"Who is it that has come to win souls?"
"I hope it's not the ice cube ...... Bu Jingyun"
"Send ice cubes on festive days, I'm afraid it's not so out of tune! According to my guess, it's either the Qin Hall Master of the Heavenly Frost Hall or the Wind Hall Master of the Kamikaze Hall. In short, it will be some good-looking characters. Feiyun Tang's step is the first sharp blade in the hands of the male gang leader, and the sharp blade naturally has to be hidden well. ”
"Uh-huh, yes, that's ......."
Everyone nodded approvingly.
Although it is only a wedding, this is the wedding of Duguming, the son of Wushuang City, who is known as "Southern Wushuang". Because of the difference in status, this wedding has also risen to the level of a major event.
Everyone is talking, most of them are talking about who will come to see this wedding, except for some famous characters on the rivers and lakes, they are talking more about the meeting that stands side by side with Wushuang City - the first force in the north "Tianxia Hui"!
The Tianxia Guild is still nominally an ally of Wushuang City, but in fact this alliance has long been a waste of paper. In the past two years, as the spheres of influence of the two sides have become increasingly overlapping, the ugliness between the two sides has become more and more day by day.
Although these dirty fights are just a matter between low-level minions, no matter how much the relationship between the two sides is whitewashed with words, the disagreement is also a matter that is clear to the whole world.
In fact, the filthiness between the two sides is a deliberate act of the world's gang leader.
He already knew the power of Wushuang City, so he decided on a strategy early - using the shadows in the ambush in Wushuang City to observe the movements of Wushuang City, and whenever there was an action of Wushuang City, the world would take the first step to occupy it, and use the theory of the covenant to limit the actions of Wushuang City.
The expansion of power was stopped again and again in this way, and Wushuang City's heart was also bitter, and they were not unaware of the conspiracy of the Tianxia Society. When he found out that the World Society was already too strong, there was news that the prince of Wushuang City was ready to get married.
"Are the people of Wushuang City planning to let that amazing trick reappear in the rivers and lakes?" Yuan Hao listened to everyone's conversation, combined with the information he already knew and the general trend of the whole world, and suddenly understood the plan of Wushuang City.
"What kind of amazing move?" asked Shi Fei Xuan and Fu Junwu in surprise. Although they all got everything he knew about Guan Yu's world from Yuan Hao, the difference in personality between the few people still made them unable to remember the piece of information in their minds for a while. So, naturally, they were very puzzled by the amazing trick that Yuan Hao said. "Amazing tricks, love in the city, the strongest trick in the legend. Created by the Martial Saint Guan Yu, I can't tell if it's a sword move or a sword move, it has extremely strong power - it is said that this move is the strongest in the world, and its speed can reach the speed of light!" Yuan Hao knew why they were surprised, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"Can you reach the speed of light? How on earth is this done?" Fu Junwan and Concubine Xuan were both surprised by this.
There is a saying on the rivers and lakes that "the world's martial arts are not fast and unbreakable", and in today's world, it can be regarded as the peak of martial arts. All kinds of martial arts emerge in an endless stream, and there are many masters who specialize in speed routes, but their speed, barely reaching the speed of sound, or exceeding the speed of sound is a very amazing skill, but when it comes to the speed of light, this is too ......
It's not a Saint Seiya, who can reach it casually - and even in the world of Saint Seiya, except for the small powerhouse level, that is, the most powerful fighters under the gods can have such power.
And such a trick actually appeared here, and it is also related to the legendary martial saint, which is also really ...... Shi Fei Xuan and Fu Junwu both felt a little unbelievable about this.
"Martial Saint...... But I remember that he was not the strongest of the Three Kingdoms. If only he could have the speed of light. What about Lu Bu, who was much stronger than him? and...... If he was really so powerful, how could he finally defeat Maicheng?" Concubine Shi frowned tightly.
She was born in Cihang Jingzhai and has the responsibility of assisting the Ming Lord, in a sense, she is a lobbyist and a strategist. And as a strategist, how can you not know the history of the past? She was very clear about what had happened about the Three Kingdoms, and naturally understood that Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms was not the strongest at that time.
"I don't know much about this matter, you ask me!" Yuan Hao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Maybe each world has a slightly different place?" If you're curious, I think we might as well go to Wushuang City to have a look." ”
"Are you going to get involved?" Fu raised her eyebrows.
"It's still in the first part of the storm. There are still more than ten years of viewing before the dragon slaying. If you want to change something, build your own foundation...... Now is the best time to do it.
Dugu Ming's wedding is the reappearance of the love of the fallen city, and it is also the beginning of the fall of the Wushuang City. After this event, there will definitely be a big expansion in the world, but it doesn't have much to do with us...... It's just that if we want to gather the people and establish the power to change the world, then it is very necessary to take a share of the pie in the process of the fall of Wushuang City. ”
Yuan Hao smiled and explained:
"Leave the building of the base to Brad. All we have to do now is make a name for ourselves. Only with fame can there be status, and only then can people take refuge. ”
"I see, then let's leave for Wushuang City tomorrow. Hearing Yuan Hao say this, Fu Junwu and Concubine Xuan both nodded approvingly.
