Chapter 60: The Bees Among the Flowers
The five of them rested in Zishan Town for another day before they packed up a little and set foot on the road to Mengzhou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is said that Zishan Town is located at the junction of Mengzhou, Bozhou and Qizhou, and if you want to enter any state, you have to go through the border of that state. Although Bozhou is not a country, there is Tiangangmen in it, and the border is established by Tiangangmen, and disciples are stationed for a long time, and the jurisdiction is not as strict as that of the state, but there are also quite cumbersome procedures; Mengzhou border pass is just opposite Zishan Town, and a few steps out of the town can be seen in the distance. This Xiongguan is called "North Mengguan", it is said that at the beginning of the construction, it was to resist the enemy attacking from the north, and now there is almost a strategic buffer zone in Bozhou in the north, so that the strong northern army that can directly attack Mengzhou is blocked out of Bozhou, so this checkpoint is rarely used for war, just used as a state border pass, to enter and exit Mengzhou, business travelers, do a simple check!
Although the Northern Mongolian Pass has rarely shown its role as a checkpoint against foreign enemies since the founding of the Giant Thunder Country, this has not affected the reputation of this level in the slightest. It's not because of anything else, it's just because there is a "Flying City" after Beimengguan, which is where one of the top ten families of Shenwu and Mengzhou Dreamers is located!
Although Shen Xian and a few people wanted to pass through the Beimeng Pass, they did not go to Feilai City, but went west along the main road, first went to the "Dawu City" behind the Beimeng Pass to rest for the night, and then returned to Qin'an City along the official road from Dawu City to the northwest of Mengzhou.
It is said that the territory of Mengzhou is vast, but only these three big cities are located in it, and they are connected in a line, which makes people feel that the defense is weak, and it is not as good as Wangfeng City, Qicheng and Tianyuan City in Bozhou, which are shaped like triangles and defend each other.
Shen Xian and the others walked slowly all the way, even though Shen Xian was anxious and wanted to rush back to Qin'an City, Mengzhou as soon as possible to meet Meng Bingxuan, but Master Qingyi and the little monk Jingchan insisted on walking for penance, and Shen Xian and the three of them had no choice but to follow Master Qingyi's wishes and come all the way to Dawu City.
After passing the Beimeng Pass, after turning around for a long time, I saw the city wall of Dawu City in the distance!
Dawu City is not as majestic as Qin'an City, and the place where it is located is not on the traffic artery, so the development of the city is not as good as Qin'an City. It's just that this is the first stronghold in the rear of Qin'an City, during which a large number of soldiers are arranged, and it is also a place to train soldiers, so the whole city is full of solemn and solemn atmosphere!
Even on the streets of Dawu City, you can sometimes see a group of soldiers patrolling, and in the restaurant inn, there are also soldiers wearing armor eating and drinking around the table, as if Dawu City is a barracks fortress!
It was already close to dusk when Shen Xian and the others entered Dawu City, generally speaking, many places in the city should be cleaned up and closed, only a small number of buildings are still operating with lights, and they will not close until dark. And the people in the city, at this moment, should also pack up, ready to go home to light a fire to cook, just wait for the night to come, then turn the lamp closed, if it is not for someone to go out, few people walk on the street! But Dawu City is very different, at this time the day is thin, the flow is still crowded, and the people, all open their doors, do not seem to avoid stealing at all, it is easy to think of the scene of not closing the door at night here!
Shen Xian guessed the reason, after all, this is a "military city", as long as those soldiers do not mess around, strictly abide by military discipline, and dedicate themselves to public service, naturally the whole city is peaceful and peaceful, and the people are also under protection! Just thinking about it, Shen Xian felt that the little prince's speculation should be true, the Tiance army abides by military regulations like this, the soldiers do not take it by force, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, where will it be an army of prostitute wives and daughters?
Yue Yin also saw this scene in the city, and her heart was also full of admiration, even if her Yuejia army was known as the "Divine Army", the city under her jurisdiction could not have such tranquility, at least it was impossible to close the door at night! But she was always proud and unwilling to admit defeat, and said: "It's just that, compared to my Yue's army, it is still far behind." As soon as she finished saying this, many people turned their heads and stared at her, which made her feel furious, for fear that these people would try their best to exclude her, and at once they would swarm her and kick her!
"It's really simple people's customs, and under the rule of the Tiance Army, there really is a feeling of peace and security in the country!" Master Qingyi said lightly.
Yue Yin's heart seemed to be unwilling to admit it, so he only pouted and nodded, and then followed Shen Xian and the others to find an inn to live in.
The five of them quickly found a place to stay, and saw the inn flag on the other side of West Street in the distance. This long street is also crowded with people, and most of them come here to visit the night market. The five of them walked towards the inn while strolling, and at this moment, Shen Xian passed by a man in white, Yue Yin walked beside Shen Xian, glanced at the man in white, and immediately grabbed Shen Xian's hand and retreated sharply to the side! I saw a faint silver light flash in mid-air, and the person who was blocked by Shen Xian suddenly fell to the ground, his entire shoulder was swollen, and there was a faint tendency to be congested and burst!
Shen Xian was stunned, and at this time, the people on the street were staring at the man in white, and it took a while for someone to drag the injured man away, and the onlookers dispersed in a hurry, but they didn't forget to shout at the soldiers in the city!
Shen Xian looked at the man in white standing in the middle of the road, this person was dressed in white, with black hair fluttering, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a jade pendant around his waist, he looked like a big man! He was also handsome, but his face was fair, comparable to that daughter's family, and he was like a sick little white face! But at this moment, his eyes were like torches, and he was clearly a Jianghu guest with extremely high martial arts!
"This should be Miss Yue Yin, the daughter of the Yue family, I am fortunate to be happy, I wish Bai Yu in the next, if I hurt Miss Yue in the next hand, please forgive me!"
"Zhu Baiyu, could it be that Zhu Baiyu, known as the 'Bee Among the Flowers', is it one of the eight masters of the Demon Gate?" Yue Yin heard the name and blurted out!
"It's down there!" Zhu Baiyu chuckled at Yue Yin, where was there half a breath of evil demons between his eyebrows, he really looked like a righteous gentleman with a jade tree in the wind!
"Amitabha, I don't know why Zhu Shi suddenly secretly poisoned Shen Shi here, if it weren't for Yue Shi's quick reaction, I'm afraid it would be Shen Shi Shi who was hit!" Master Qingyi said slowly.
Zhu Baiyu glanced at Master Qingyi, couldn't help frowning, looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to recognize Master Qingyi, but he was shocked and said: "Monk? There are three things that are most taboo in my son's life, monk, old Taoist, and Brother Gongzi, the monk is in the first place, and he will kill when he sees it!
"The poor monk's law is called 'Qingyi', and this sect is the Shenwu Jintuo Sect!"
"'Living Buddha' Qingyi?" Zhu Baiyu frowned again, but asked, "Shouldn't you go to Turbid Sea City, why did you come to Dawu City?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, how did Zhu Baiyu know where Master Qingyi went?
Zhu Baiyu also seemed to feel that he was secretly speaking for a while, so he immediately changed the topic, looked at Shen Xian and said: "There is an organization called 'Xingchen' on the rivers and lakes, I don't know if you have heard of it? Now Xingchen has issued a reward order, if you can capture Shen Xian alive, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold; if you are half disabled, you can still speak consciously, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver; if you are dead and not stiff, you will still have half a breath, and you will be rewarded with half a hundred taels of silver; if you bring back the corpse, you will only be given three taels of silver!" Although I don't know which of you has angered you, and you want to capture you alive with such a heavy amount of money, but just one dead body of you can be exchanged for three taels of silver, which shows that your little life is really worth it!"
"Xingchen wants to kill Shen Xian, so what does this matter to you? The master of the Demon Sect also wants to ask for money from a killer organization?" Yue Yin glanced at Shen Xian and immediately asked Zhu Baiyu.
Zhu Baiyu smiled and said: "Miss Yue, isn't there a saying that 'people die for money, birds die for food'? Although I am a master, I always have to eat, drink, dress, and sleep, and the name of 'bee among flowers' is not called in vain, 'bees swim among flowers', don't you take a penny?
Yue Yin snorted, saw Zhu Baiyu's face with an obscene smile, and said shamelessly: "I think you are a lewd worm, what 'flower bee', why not call it 'flower butterfly', this name is appropriate enough!"
Zhu Baiyu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Butterflies are prodigal, they pick all flowers, bees are different, and they only take what they need! Of course, they are not just here for money! I heard that although Miss Yue loves to practice martial arts, she is delicate and lovely, and she pursues beauty in the next life, so she came to a wall! I didn't expect Miss to be really charming, although her temper is arrogant, but she adds a tenacity, which is very endearing!"
Yue Yin heard Zhu Baiyu praise her, her face turned red, she pouted and muttered: "People are naturally beautiful, but some people can't see it!"
It is said that although this person is notorious and claims to be prodigal, there has never been a rumor on the rivers and lakes that Zhu Baiyu violated the female stream, but this person has the reputation of "lustful but not lewd", "amorous but elegant", so he has such an elegant name as "Flower Bee". It's just that his identity is limited, he is one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect, and he has a quirky temperament, so he is feared by people on the rivers and lakes, and he leaves a lot of complaints!
Zhu Baiyu is indiscriminate, naturally he also has a liking for Yue Yin, in his heart, all the beauties in the world can belong to him, so seeing that Yue Yin is interested in Shen Xian, he was jealous at the moment, and his gaze at Shen Xian couldn't help but become fierce!
Zhu Baiyu smiled coldly at Shen Xian, opened the folding fan and shook it, and said: "There is one more thing I forgot to say, the Order of the Stars is the will for me, so no matter what the reason, Your Excellency has to go with me today!"
Shen Xian was taken aback when he saw the little patterns engraved on the white clothes on Zhu Baiyu's chest, and a familiar picture immediately appeared in his mind, and he only said "Star Killer" in his mouth, gritted his teeth, and turned his hands into fists to meet the attacking Zhu Baiyu......
