Volume 1, Chapter 41, Scarlet Dragon Residence
Although Daqi overthrew the rule of the Fengdu Dynasty, but the size of the territory is not the same as the Fengdu Dynasty, the Great Qi is mainly divided into five states, respectively, the north, the Dongling, the West Wilderness, the South, and the Central Plains, although it is also the same as the Fengdu Dynasty, but it is much smaller than the scope of the Fengdu Dynasty, of which the Western Wilderness is the most vast place among the five places, but because the Black Dragon City is mostly desert, so the imperial court did not set up any counties, except for a garrison of troops, the other almost western desert is almost regarded as an illegal place, and the division of the lawless land and the place of residence is the Black Dragon City standing in the west, and Tanglin is garrisoned by the Sui family, the mother of the current Emperor of Daqi is the sister of the current head of the Sui family, Sui Wen, the south is the most blessed and the most stable, the southern border is mostly lofty mountains, as long as you hold a key road, there are almost no other places from the outside to attack the south, so the south is also the most important place for the royal family, the lord is the cousin of the current emperor, and the south is mostly civil officials in power, heavy people's livelihood and taxes, few generals. The Central Plains region is centered on Kyoto and is surrounded by fifteen castles. All are heavily guarded. The north, on the other hand, is the poorest and most miserable place, and it is also the place where the Linjia is in control.
The first city in the north and the Central Plains is called Longju City, before Linbeichuan went to Kyoto to pick up Linyue Mountain, he had been here, and the local city lord was killed to build Jingguan, of course, these things Linyue Mountain did not know, at this moment he changed his appearance slightly, Hu Xianming, as the master of Linyue Mountain, in addition to learning, also handed over the disguise to Linyue Mountain, although Linyue Mountain did not fully master Hu Xianming's disguise technique, but like this, as long as he changed himself not like his own simple means of disguise, it is still difficult to Linyue Mountain.
Longju City is much more lively than every city in the north, many merchants will arrive here in winter, usually to go to the north to do some trade, but this year it is really empty, the north city blockaded the north, but since the merchants have left their hometown, the things they bring naturally can not be brought back, so, most of the merchants this year either go to the north of the city to sell items, or sell items in the dragon city, so most of the people who enter the city are merchants, the north is rich in gems and war horses, so along the way I saw most of the merchants leading horses to the city, and most of the merchants out of the city are carrying food。
Perhaps it is the reason why the previous city lord of Longju City was killed by Linbeichuan, the guards of Longju City are particularly strict with the people who come to the north, Linyue Mountain has the experience of walking the rivers and lakes, and also knows the dissatisfaction of the outside for the north, so when he checked Linyue Mountain, Linyue Mountain secretly handed over some gold and silver from his arms, and the soldiers guarding the city were also familiar with the road, and shouted after the gold and silver: "Come and go merchants, let go." In this way, Linyue Mountain smoothly blended into Longju City.
There are many people coming and going in Longju City, all kinds of people in all kinds of costumes, there are rich merchants in the south wearing silk, there are also people wearing animal skins in the West Wilderness, and there are blue-eyed people with curly beards and hair, there is no such excitement in the north, Linyue Mountain originally wanted to enter the inn early to rest, and when he saw such a lively scene in the city, Linyue Mountain stayed on the street for a while.
"Let go, let go of my children. "In a house, a soldier dragged a child out, followed by a woman in pain, the husband next to the woman pulled the eldest mother tightly, the child and the woman cried non-stop, but no one around even looked sideways, and they didn't know whether they were afraid of the group of soldiers, or if they were used to such a scene. Linyue Mountain walked forward, wanting to ask what was going on. But someone grabbed his arm. After a while, the child had been taken away by the soldiers, and only the husband was left to walk back home silently with the woman.
Lin Yueshan turned his head and glared, only to see a young man who was not much different from himself pulling his arm, the young man was dressed in silk, at first glance he was a person from the south, his hair was like some women in Kyoto, he was slightly curly, his face was as white as rain, his eyes were like glass, revealing a faint blue, the tip of his nose was high, he had a well-dressed beard on his chin, his figure was taller than himself, but he was very thin, his arm was also snow-white, a jade plate hung around his waist, a small flower was inserted in his sideburns, and he held a steel-bone fan in his hand, which was more like a weapon than decoration。 Seeing that the child had been taken away by the soldiers, the young man let go of the hand holding Lin Yueshan.
"Who are you, why are you pulling me?" Lin Yueshan glared at the young man, obviously Lin Yueshan felt that after he had kung fu, he encountered this kind of injustice, and he also wanted to take care of it like a chivalrous man in the mouth of the storyteller, not to mention, Lin Yueshan knew that he had changed his appearance, and if he got into trouble, it would be a big deal to change his outfit.
When the young man heard this, he smiled and clenched his fists: " Shaoxia, my name is Dou Linwei, today's things are really not something you can manage, Shaoxia should have just come to Longju City, it is not clear, in the city these few days, most families have children missing, the soldiers and yamen in the city can not find out the reason, the city lord is afraid of taking responsibility, so let the soldiers in the city access all the children into the city lord's mansion, although it is a little cruel, but after all, there is some effect, the children together are not lost, but some do not want the children to enter the house lost a lot, no, the city lord let the soldiers force all into the house, if the young man rashly shot, not only is it not a good thing, but may lose the life of the young man。 ”
When Lin Yueshan heard this, he only felt that his behavior just now was extremely reckless, and he almost hurt himself and others, and smiled bitterly at the moment, and said: "I thought I had good intentions, but I almost made a big mistake, thank you brother, thank you brother, please don't be polite, let's go into the restaurant and have a drink." ”
Dou Linwei looked at Linyue Mountain and laughed: "Suo Xin is fine, it's better to have a drink together, young hero, it's also interesting for me to make friends." With that, the two went to a restaurant in the city.
Life in the restaurant is boiling, Linyue Mountain and Dou Linwei finally found a vacant seat, just sat down, from the side came two people from the West Wilderness, dressed in animal skins, one of the two of them held a three-ring knife, tall and burly, stabbed with a popular knife in the West Wilderness, one person looked left and right after entering the door, saw that the inn was already full, and walked to the front of Linyue Mountain and Dou Linwei, and patted his big hand on the table, "Two little boys, the uncle gave you a copper plate, I want your position, the lord likes this thing." As soon as Dahan said this, Xiao Er next to Linyue Mountain first lost his voice, but Linyue Mountain ignored it and continued to order, when Dahan heard it, he was immediately angry, and stretched out his hand as if Linyue Mountain grabbed it.
Lin Yueshan sideways dodged the grabbed hand, stood up, the sword in his hand was not out of the sheath, and pushed it horizontally towards the chest of the big man, the big man laughed, and the ring knife in his hand slashed towards the sword body of Linyue Mountain with a backhand, and Lin Yueshan's other hand quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword, and pulled out the sword, the scabbard went down, avoiding the big knife that was chopped, and the sharp arrow in his hand stabbed at the big man. "Good boy, if you come to be real, then don't blame the uncle for being polite. The knife in Dahan's hand was quickly retracted, and it was in front of the tip of the sword, blocking the stabbing sword, and then Dahan quickly twisted the blade, held the knife in his backhand, and rushed towards Linyue Mountain. The knife body is in front, the person is behind, to the front of Linyue Mountain, the side of the knife body, instantly slashed at the neck of Linyue Mountain, Linyue Mountain went backwards, dodged a knife, a little toe, point at the knee of the big man, the big man took two steps back, and suffered a dark loss, but the big man was not surprised at all, after standing still, he slashed at Linyue Mountain, Linyue Mountain held a sword to block, but he didn't want the big man to sink strongly, Linyue Mountain's body was slowly pressed down, and the person who came with the big man at this moment, holding a big knife was about to cut, but Linyue Mountain couldn't draw the sword at all.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the other person who rushed back again and again, and a bloody hole appeared on the shoulder of his left hand. Seeing this, the big man who suppressed Linyue Mountain hurriedly retreated, walked to his friend's side, and the injured man suddenly clenched his fists and said: "The twin wolves of the Western Wilderness, there are many offenses, and I ask my seniors to spare my life." Seeing this, the other person also clenched his fist and closed his knife, and there was no response for a long time, and the injured man fell to his knees: "Thank you seniors for atonement." After saying that, he picked up the other person and left the inn in a hurry.
"Lin Shaoxia's martial arts are really good. Dou Linwei looked at Linyueshan and said, Linyueshan waved his hand and looked around left and right, "Linyao thank you for saving your life." After saying that, there was still silence around him, and Xiao Er remembered his duty and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to serve food and wine.
"Brother Pro Hero Boy, I toast you. Dou Linwei picked up the wine glass and drank it from Linyue Mountain, after three rounds of wine, the two chatted very happily, Dou Linwei quietly approached Linyue Mountain, drank a glass of wine and said to Linyue Mountain: "Brother Lin, although there is a disguise, but walking the rivers and lakes, still have to be cautious, the world is big, there are many strange people and strange things, there are countless people who can see through the disguise, my Dou family has been in business for generations, and the martial artist at home told me that the master does not look at the appearance." You can tell who it is by looking at the shape and breath. Lin Yueshan was startled, and most of the wine woke up in an instant, remembering his thoughts, and suddenly embarrassed, "Thank you Brother Dou for your advice." "I don't dare to advise, I Dou Linwei doesn't have the life of chivalry and righteousness, I can't learn martial arts, Brother Lin's future will walk the rivers and lakes, and I must help me to do chivalry and righteousness." "Brother Dou said and laughed, my martial arts are not good, where do I have the capital to do chivalry. ”
