Zhongshan is located in the west of the central area of human beings, its east is a vast and rich river plain, the origin of human civilization is from there, and its west is an endless mountain range, the country is not too big and not too small, is an ancient civilization with a long history.

Thousands of years ago, the westernmost part of the human realm was as far as the Zhongshan Kingdom, and in the long years of war with foreign races, the craftsmen here continued to improve the sword forging process, and the people also loved swordsmanship, and finally formed a unique swordsman culture here, and became the birthplace of all swordsmen in later generations.

The Imperial Sword Ridge is built on the Tianshan Mountains and is the largest sect of swordsmanship today. Its president, Yazi is already a three-hundred-year-old man, respected by the world as a great sword master, the world's famous sword spectrum, and the fifth-ranked short knife 'Qinghong' is the saber in his hand.

At this time, just after the great cold, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and Nano jumped off the ox cart of a chaifu, and after thanking the chaifu, he walked alone towards Qingshui Town, a small town at the foot of Yujianling Mountain.

When you come to the street, there are people dressed in festive clothes, just like a festival. The streets are lined with old plum trees, which are blooming with life at the moment.

At this time of year, it is the day when Yujian Ridge begins to accept disciples. Thousands of people came from all over the world with their children to participate in the selection, most of them were rich and powerful people in various countries, once their children were selected to become disciples of Yujian Ling, ten years later, when they returned from cultivation, they would all hold important positions in the army.

At present, among the more than 100 human countries on the continent, many generals are from the Imperial Sword Ridge. Forty-nine of the fifty places each year have to pay a high tuition fee, and even then, these forty-nine children need to go through layers of selection, while the other one is reserved for those who are very talented, free of charge.

Due to the large number of people who come here every year, the business of Qingshui Town is also very developed, and all kinds of shops, chambers of commerce, as long as there are other places, there are them here.

After Namu found an inn, he came out to hang out, and by the way, he asked the locals about the way to go to Edgeworthy.

On the street, a man in his forties, a fat and slightly shorter, richly dressed man with a big face was squinting at his mouse eyes at passers-by.

This man is the owner of a small local pawnshop, and he likes to be on the street, coaxing some laymen to sell him his treasures at low prices, especially those who look down-and-out but wear high-end jewelry.

Suddenly, the man's eyes lit up, and he showed a lewd smile, and ran towards a man with a sword not far away.

"Hey——! little brother, wait. ”

Na Wu was walking, suddenly, a strange man ran in front of him, carefully looked at the long knife in Na Wu's hand, with a kind smile peculiar to a businessman, and whispered: "This little brother, this knife in your hand looks good! This workmanship is really exquisite, you look at the dragon pattern on this scabbard, yes, yes, it's really good! It's a pity," the man said, "It's not a good iron made of this material, otherwise it will definitely be sold for a good price." ”

The man deliberately made a very embarrassed appearance, and thought for a while, "If you are interested, I am willing to buy it for fifty taels of silver, what do you think?"

Na Wu ignored it and continued to walk forward.

"One hundred taels! no, three hundred taels!" Seeing that the name did not react, the man shouted while chasing after him, "But I don't have so much money in my hand now, as long as you nod, I will go home and get it immediately." ”

Natori still ignored the man, walked straight to the corner of the street, turned a corner and disappeared into the crowd.

"Alas, it's a pity, it would have been better if I had shouted a little higher just now. The man sighed, shook his head, and began to search for the next target.

Since he wasn't very familiar with this place, Nano wandered around and unconsciously came to a deserted corner.

At this time, it was getting late, and Namu yawned and was about to go back to the inn to rest. As soon as he turned around, across a deep alley, the figure of a man with a sword on his back flashed, although it was only for a moment, but the picture was also engraved in Nano's mind.

It was a burly man, fifty years of age, with short, thick, erect hair, mixed with a little white hair, and a majestic face with a pair of thick straight and upturned eyebrows, and a pair of large piercing eyes underneath, and a shallow beard around thin lips.

Ming Wuyi clearly felt the strong aura emanating from the man's body, like the scorching sun in July, warm and warm.

"That's?" Na Wu was deeply attracted by this aura, and slowly walked towards the alley, but he didn't notice that the two sturdy young men behind him were rushing towards him with iron rods.

With a loud bang, Na Wu felt a shock in his brain, and then his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground, and the two young men quickly left here after picking up the long knife in Na Wu's hand.

Blood crept out of the back of Namu's head, slithering slowly on the cold ground like a snake snaking forward, and little by little along the terrain towards the distance......

"Lord Shao, a native of Qiguo, Fan Zhi, is dead. "Tiannan National Teacher's Mansion, Jin You said.

"Dead?!" Shao Buyu was writing a chapter to the king to discuss the reform of the army, but the pen suddenly stopped.

"Fan Zhi intended to rebel. Jinyou explained.

"Did the people of the temple do it?"

"Nope. Jinyou shook her head.

"That must be a good thing to be done by the people who 'wish' to do it. ”

"Not really. ”

"Who's that?"

"The man who defeated the exile last time and rescued Princess Han Xin. ”

"What! It's him again, and there's no name!. The brush in Shao Buyu's hand fell on the paper.

After a while, Shao Buyu picked up the brush again, "You say, how do I explain to my master?"

"Arrest Namo, or take his head to plead guilty?" Jin You replied coldly.

"Where is he now?"

"It is estimated that it should be in the Imperial Sword Ridge, with Yazi. ”

"Yujian Ling," Shao Buyu's face flushed with sorrow, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's just say that Fan Zhi rebelled and was killed by the people of the temple." ”

"You're going to deceive your master?" Jinyu reminded.

"Or, in our intelligence, the one whose name is not assigned to the temple. ”

Jinyu didn't answer this time, expressing acquiescence.

"Have you heard? There is a rumor that on the eastern coast, in a small fishing village in Dongzhou Kingdom, someone saw two apostles. Shao Buyu suddenly said intently.

"Apostle?!" Hearing the name, Jinyou couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The Apostles are a group of enlightened beings with top-level combat power in this world, and the number is not large, usually about ten. They are the elite of all major races, summoned by the god of creation, the Xuanlong, to destroy those creatures that pose a great threat to the world in order to protect the peace of the entire world.

"Why did the apostles appear there, could there be a stumble there?" Jin You couldn't help but have a worried look on his face.

The world is big, there are so many creatures, and there is so much time, there will always be some extremely destructive, destructive creatures. Their appearance is often accompanied by great and profound disasters, so these beings are figuratively called "刧".

They are like cancer cells in the world, powerful and almost invincible, and if left unchecked, they may destroy the world in an instant.

The apostles, on the other hand, are like immune cells in the world, and if there is a problem anywhere, they will rush to destroy it as soon as possible.

"Go see what's going on there. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we can prepare for it in advance. Shao Buyu said.

"I hope that the people of the temple and the people who 'wish' will also come. ”

"It doesn't matter, you just have to investigate, and I didn't let you contact the apostles or the apostles. ”
