Chapter 131: Zang Feng sits at the North City Gate
No matter what happened in the capital, as long as it did not directly endanger the lives of the people, they could firmly believe that the capital must be unbreakable, because Langya is the first male city in the world, and it is the strongest and safest place.
Perhaps this kind of stable life will make some people in the capital city become a little unhappy, and they will not have the vigilance to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and they will look a little decadent, but it also proves in disguise that the capital of Jiang Guo is indeed a place where people do not feel that there will be danger.
But this is mostly just in the perception of ordinary people, no place in the world is absolutely safe, and it is only some people who are silently blocking the danger that can make people feel at ease on the surface.
However, although Langya City has experienced many things, it has proved that it is indeed still indestructible.
In the second-floor building of Wenrou Township, Jiang Zihua sat on a chair in a certain room, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, spitting out the skin of melon seeds very comfortably, drinking wine, and sighing comfortably from time to time.
The room was clearly a woman's boudoir, with pink décor everywhere and a large dresser filled with all sorts of precious rouge gouache.
The room was filled with a strange and unpleasant smell.
It really makes people feel better.
Not far from the left side of Jiang Zi's painting, there is a blanket on the floor, a low wooden table is placed, there is an incense altar with wisps of white smoke, and the table is also covered with rice paper.
Gentle Township has always been a very quiet place, there is not much noise in the one-story building, only the sound of the guzheng piano rises, only in the graceful dance of the girls to the wonderful place, will resound a cheer.
In the room on the second floor, although the sound outside can be heard, it is very small, but for the cultivator, it can naturally be heard very clearly, but Jiang Zihua's mind is not there.
Although his task is only to ensure that the people are not endangered in the arrest of the monks outside the mountain, there are not a few people who do the same task in the mountain gates, and he appears in the gentle township, of course, to be lazy, but also gives himself a good reason.
After all, the shore of Yueming Lake is a prosperous and lively place, especially at night, when people gather a lot, and his task can be regarded as the heaviest.
So he hid in the girl's room with peace of mind, listening to the sound of the piano that often came in the hall, drinking wine, and eating pastries, which was simply pleasant.
And in the process of enjoying him, there was some movement from the outside world into his perception, and at that moment, Jiang Zihua's expression suddenly became serious, "Has it started?"
Although Jiang Zihua is enjoying a comfortable moment of laziness, his sense of fugue has always wandered around the shore of Yueming Lake, and even if he is lazy, it is impossible for him to really ignore the lives of ordinary people here.
Although the abnormal movements in the outside world are still far away from the shore of Yueming Lake, they are still clearly captured by Jiang Zihua, since he crossed the threshold of the four realms, the distance when he was in the fugue has been greatly enhanced, and most of the capital can be seen in full view, and no small details will be missed.
The sound of panicked running in a corner, the sharp sound of a sharp blade unsheathed, and the chaotic and neat footsteps surrounding and converging all came to his ears very clearly.
Within his fugue vision, many dark shadows swept by.
Approaching in the direction of the East Gate.
None of the people who rushed in the dark night were weaker than those in the Four Realms, which made Jiang Zihua secretly smack his tongue.
He, like Fourth Senior Brother Ning Haoran, just followed orders, in fact, he didn't know exactly what was going on in the capital at all, he just felt that something was unusual.
Everywhere in the capital, there are great monks in the thresholds of the four realms who are hidden, or have already started to act, and under the calm on the surface, there are surging waves in the dark.
The girl noticed the abnormality of Jiang Zi's painting at this moment, because the sound of swallowing melon seeds suddenly stopped, she looked up suspiciously, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Since the Zhang Chong incident, Jiang Zihua helped Li Mengzhou to rescue her, and the two became friends after a short period of contact, and she knew very well the identity of Jiang Zihua's disciple in the inner courtyard of the palace, if she could get along well, then she would have two backers in the powerful cultivation mountain gate of the Imperial Sword Academy.
In addition, with the protection of everyone Yu, as long as she is unwilling, those rich children who want to be her guests in the curtain can only be discouraged, and even respect Youjia.
So recently, the life of the girl is also very comfortable, and she can do what she likes to do without being disturbed.
Jiang Zihua silently removed the skin of the melon seeds from the corner of his mouth, looked back at the girl in law, and said: "The capital will be very unpeaceful tonight, I hope it will not affect Yueming Lake." ”
The girl frowned slightly, and said, "Langya City prohibits cultivators from fighting in the streets, and there have been no major incidents in so many years, what do you mean by this?"
The girl has never really come into contact with the world of cultivators, but the rules of the capital for cultivators, even ordinary people know very well, in addition to not killing ordinary people, large-scale battles in the street will also be stopped, in this case, who dares to knowingly commit crimes?
Jiang Zihua said softly: "Although it is related to cultivators, it is not a private fight between cultivators, the meaning is different, now there are cultivators hidden in every corner of the capital, although it will not affect too many places, but the war that belongs to them has begun." ”
Miss Wu'er didn't understand this very well, she looked at Jiang Zihua, and said, "Then why are you still sitting here?"
Jiang Zihua was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This is the task assigned to me by my senior brother, I am holding my position, of course I can't leave." ”
The girl looked at him with a little suspicion.
Jiang Zihua coughed lightly, turned his head, and continued to swallow melon seeds.
......
When Li Mengzhou came back, he didn't enter the city at the south city gate, but took a detour to the north city gate, because it was closer to Yue Shiting's mansion, although the distance of the detour was not short, but he still had to avoid the south city gate where Ning Haoran and other Sword Academy disciples were there.
In addition to not wanting to participate in the incident that happened in the palace, it was also because he didn't want his actions to be noticed by too many people.
Gu Shiyan always eats him and lives with him, but at some point, she is still very reliable, according to her secret investigation in a short period of time, I don't know what means she used, and she actually found out the identity of the middle-aged man who appeared in the carriage sitting outside the door of Yue Shiting's mansion.
The doorman of King Lu's Mansion is also a very powerful master by Qin Chengyi's side.
The grandmaster of the sword, there is a famous name in the rivers and lakes - Song Yidao.
Of course, it was not a knife for people, but the battles he experienced large and small, all of which could be won or lost with just one sword.
It is rumored that Song Yidao came from a secret sword sect, and his sword skills were superb, and he faced two sword cultivators at the same time when he was young.
But I don't know when it started, Song Yidao gradually disappeared in the mountains and rivers, but it turned out that he was found by Qin Chengyi, the prince of Lu, and became a guest of King Lu's mansion, and he was also a very close person to Qin Chengyi.
These things were all told to Li Mengzhou by Gu Shiyan.
It's not that she has investigated so many things in such a short period of time, but she happens to know something about Song Yidao.
Compared with Yue Shiting, Song Yidao is more dangerous.
Although they were both powerhouses at the peak of the Four Realms, Song Yidao, as the Grandmaster of the Mountains and Fields, was far superior to Yue Shiting in terms of combat experience and various other means.
Li Mengzhou didn't care how strong Song Yidao was.
He only cared that Song Yidao was Qin Chengyi's protégé.
And Song Yidao went to Yue Shiting's mansion in a carriage and talked to him, and the questions in this were enough to make Li Mengzhou think a lot.
When he came to the north gate, he saw a low wooden table at the gate of the city, with tea on the table, and a cushion behind the table, on which sat a young man holding a book and reading carefully.
It's a very strange picture.
The guards were some distance from the young man who was reading, because it was late at night, and there were not many people who went out of the city and entered the city, and only one or two appeared occasionally, but they all paid attention to the young man who was reading.
The guards at the north gate were very strict with those entering and leaving the city, and even if there were only one or two people, it would take a lot of time.
And all this can not disturb the young man who reads books.
Although Li Mengzhou didn't recognize the young man, the other party was wearing the clothes of the academy, thinking that the south city gate was guarded by the fourth senior brother himself, so the person sent from the north city gate of the academy would definitely not be very weak, and there was only one person.
Then the identity of the young man is about to be revealed.
The swordsman in the academy, Beizangfeng!
It is a figure who stands side by side with Shen Qiubai and the senior brother of the Sword Academy at the top of the younger generation of Jiang Guo monks.
Beizangfeng, who is holding the book, does not have the sharpness of a swordsman, but Li Mengzhou will definitely not think that he is easy to bully, and his calm and calm appearance itself reveals a kind of unfathomable.
Don't look at Yue Shiting, he is also a powerhouse at the peak of the Four Realms, but if he really compares with the three people at the top of the younger generation of Jiang Guo Monk, he may not be able to win.
As if noticing someone in front of him, Bei Zangfeng slowly put down the book in his hand, looked up at Li Mengzhou, was silent for a moment, and said with a soft smile: "You are Li Mengzhou from the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace?"
Li Mengzhou nodded slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Does Mr. North recognize me?"
Beizang Feng smiled: "You know who I am, it doesn't make sense that I don't know who you are." ”
Although this statement is a bit awkward, it does seem to have some truth.
Li Mengzhou frowned and said: "The Northern Swordsman of the Academy, don't say that in Jiang Country, even in the whole world, there are very few people who don't know you, I can recognize you, it's not strange, but I'm just a small sword cultivator in the Sword Academy, and it's very strange that Mr. North recognizes me." ”
Bei Zangfeng said: "That was before, Li Mengzhou of the Sword Academy was on the fifth floor of the Panlong Banquet, and he crossed the border to defeat Lu Changge, who was inferior to the four realms, with the cultivation of the peak of the three realms, even if it was only a few days, there should be no one in the capital who didn't recognize your face." ”
Li Mengzhou touched his face, thinking that although his recent complexion has been a lot fairer, it is still a little dark, and he is wearing a black dress, and he is not very old, but he is very good to recognize.
He was silent for a moment, waved his hands, and said, "Mr. Bei also appeared at the North City Gate because of the incident in the palace?"
Beizang Feng nodded and said: "The four city gates all have similar mountain gate disciples, Shen Qiubai should be at the west city gate, as long as Xie Chunfeng at the east city gate has some movement, it seems that the people outside the mountain also clearly know where the weak point of defense is." ”
Shen Qiubai at the West City Gate, Bei Zangfeng at the North City Gate, Ning Haoran at the South City Gate, and Zhuo Bingchun in the shadows, in contrast, the East City Gate where Xie Chunfeng is located is indeed relatively weak.
Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng really can't be compared with Shen Bei, and Bei Zangfeng is not belittling Xie Chunfeng, but it is true.
Compared with others, Xie Chunfeng is of course a very strong existence, but if he is compared with Shen Bei and the others, he can only obediently fall behind.
In the world within the threshold of the four realms, it can be said that every step is a hurdle, and every time a hurdle is crossed, the strength will increase exponentially, so even if it is a small realm, it is not the same.
No one can say which stage the North Zangfeng is at the peak of the Four Realms, and there will be some subtle differences in the early stage of breaking the Great Realm, the peak of the Four Realms is a stage, and the contact with the threshold of the Five Realms is another stage, although it is in the same realm, there is also a considerable distance.
Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng have not yet stepped into the peak of the Four Realms, let alone reached the threshold of the Five Realms.
Li Mengzhou looked at the young man in front of him who continued to hold the book and read, he didn't know what the book was good about, but this was Bei Zangfeng's interest, so he naturally couldn't say anything.
Because of the cultivation of the Silkworm Extermination Scroll, the distance from which his fugue consciousness was released far exceeded the limit of his own realm, so everything in the entire capital city could be seen by him, but it also took time to know what was happening in every corner, the capital was so big, it was impossible for him to see what was happening somewhere at any time.
At this time, on a certain street near the East City Gate, there were two black shadows fleeing in embarrassment, followed by the military soldiers who were in hot pursuit, and there were obviously people silently following in secret, ensuring that there would be no accidents in this operation.
Xie Chunfeng was outside the East City Gate, and Lu Changge was still by his side.
This is not like the North City Gate, where only Bei Zangfeng is in charge.
In addition to Xie Chunfeng and Lu Changge, there were more than ten disciples who had crossed the threshold of the Four Realms in the Immortal Mountain, as well as some Four Realm powerhouses in the military department.
Xie Chunfeng held his sword in his arms and stood on the side outside the East City Gate, bowing his head slightly and closing his eyes.
The night breeze blew across his cheeks and ruffled his hair, and those eyes suddenly opened and shot a cold light.
He looked sideways at the empty street inside the city gates.
The powerhouses of the four realms in the military headquarters also cast their eyes at the same time.
Lu Changge and the other Four Realms disciples who did not fall down the mountain reacted slowly, after all, they were only at the stage of entering the threshold of the Four Realms, and they were naturally not as good as those real powerhouses in the Four Realms.
The footsteps gradually became clear.
It's messy.
Soon, two dark shadows entered their field of vision.
Lu Changge frowned, drew his sword out of its sheath, and stood at the front.
He didn't know about the monks outside the mountain, and he never took the monks outside the mountain seriously, in recent days, his mind was full of pictures of being defeated by Li Mengzhou, and now he urgently needed a gap to vent.
Xie Chunfeng noticed Lu Changge's movements, and his brows furrowed.
At their age, they can't understand the strength of the monks outside the mountain, but they can only see from the description of the teacher, or from the classics, even if the strength of the monks outside the mountain has been heard many times, but they have not faced it in person, they can never really be on guard in their hearts.
Therefore, Xie Chunfeng did not stop Lu Changge's movements, but just watched silently, ready to rescue at any time.
The two figures who rushed out from the east city gate looked like they were only at the age of not being confused, they were wearing ordinary people's clothes and holding knives in their hands, just because their expressions were a little flustered, which made people look like they would be very weak.
Someone intercepted outside the city gate, and the two figures rushing could only stop.
They looked at each other, and without saying a word, rushed forward with their knives.
"Two jumping clowns, Ann dares to be rampant!"
Lu Changge has always had a very blind self-confidence, the so-called outsiders who have plundered the monks of the world, in his eyes, it is just like that.
With a sword in his hand, he faced him head-on.
Sonorous!
Boom!
The sound of blades clashing sounded.
But it was only in a short moment, a muffled sound followed, a figure crossed under the dark night, a sword fell to the ground first, and when it shook a few times on the bluestone road in front of the city gate, Xie Chunfeng also moved sideways under his feet, catching the figure that flew upside down in time.
Lu Changge spurted out a mouthful of blood violently, his expression instantly became sluggish, and a look of disbelief crawled all over his face.
It was just one blow and he was defeated!
Xu was so angry that Lu Changge roared, and he completely fainted.
Xie Chunfeng supported him, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face became extremely solemn.
After all, Lu Changge had crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, and he could be defeated so easily, and the enemy was at least a top-grade powerhouse in the Four Realms.
Although those two people swung their swords at the same time, Lu Changge was equivalent to one enemy and two, but they were defeated at the moment of fighting, which was enough to prove the strength of those two monks outside the mountain.
The people who chased the two monks outside the mountain were also blocked in front of the dark passage into the city at this moment, among these people were the secret agents of the Heavenly Privy Yuan wrapped in green clothes and wearing masks, as well as the armor soldiers of the military department, and the Xuanyi armor soldiers led by the Xuanzheng Division Four Realms Shilang, except for the few Great Monks of the Four Realms led by them, the rest of the cultivators who were the weakest were also at the peak of the Three Realms.
There were many of them, and the two monks outside the mountain also knew that the purpose of lurking in the capital was exposed, so they didn't dwell too much, they just wanted to escape from the capital as soon as possible, otherwise with the strength of these two monks outside the mountain to defeat Lu Changge in an instant, they might not be able to stop it.
And the purpose of the Heavenly Council and other people who pursued the monks outside the mountain was also to drive them out of the city, and in the short entanglement, they also used roundabout tactics, but because of this, there was no large-scale fighting.
