30. "Loyal martyr" Lu family, prefecture-level worship
Everyone's vision is limited, and the information they receive cannot be comprehensive.
In the eyes of Huanxi Maitreya and the Panshan thieves, the wine seller of the Lu family used a letter to deceive more than a dozen robbers and two boys, and the official masters who were ambushed next to him shot and killed.
Originally, this name had not yet been implemented and still needed to be investigated, but this time it was settled.
Because the spy who entered the city was actually arrested in the Lu family again.
Bandits will not know the twists and turns, they will only see the superficial information, and then they are likely to make a "prisoner's dilemma" guess "be careful, take the least risk, and benefit the most yourself".
That is, the Lu family really united with the government, and Mrs. Lu acted as a double agent, pretending to accept them, but in fact she was deliberately luring them out.
And the Lu family can be said to be directly placed on the grill, not a person inside and out, with a mouth that can't be said clearly, and it is very tormented.
If the storyteller wanted to stir up the atmosphere, his eyes would inevitably light up, and he would be shocked, and said: "It is said that the Panshan bandits saw their brother die tragically, and they were indignant in their hearts, thinking that the righteous word was the head, so they angrily led the group of thieves and rushed to Taohua County in a swarm. ā
But the opposite is most likely true.
Brothers?
Brother fart.
The brothers died tragically, and the bandits didn't think about revenge, but about whether the idea was hard or not? Will I die if I get on it? This dead brother still has an inheritance or something, if you don't hurry up and grab it, it will be gone.
Bai Shan was relieved and observed for three days.
Three days later, he found that the surrounding area of the county was calm, and the bandits seemed to have disappeared.
In Taohua County, there are still people who go outside to peel tree bark and look for wild vegetables.
Why is it so calm?
Bai Shan thought about it a little and probably knew the reason.
First, he killed the two young men in Chinese clothes and more than a dozen bandits that night, all of them used leaves, and a clear-eyed person could see that this was all from the same person's hand, which must have a deterrent effect, and it was easy for the bandits to have the feeling of "In fact, the support of Tianyi Mansion has already arrived, and Taohua County is preparing to catch turtles in the urn".
Second, the bandits were twice frustrated and suspicious.
To sum up, the bandits will inevitably decide to find out the situation and then make calculations.
This is more and more indicative of the presence of high-ranking people behind the bandits.
Otherwise, how can there be such discipline and binding?
However, this kind of calm was also a good thing for Bai Shan, he could just go to the mountain to cultivate the [Burning Yuan Heart Method].
...
...
The morning light had not yet risen, and the sky was gray.
A thin mist is permeated between the low houses with white walls and black tiles in Taohua County, which obstructs people's vision, and they can only see a vague outline when they see anything.
At this time last year, the streets of the county were already full of traders, but this year, natural and man-made disasters have made it unfavorable, and it is still very cold.
Bai Shan opened his eyes, got up from the bed, changed into a strong suit that was easy to move around, wrapped the hooded ash cloak that Sister Miao Miao gave him, and then checked the contents of the mustard seed bag.
In addition to 1,159 catties of meat, 70 jars of spirits (one of which used 7 catties), 20 jars of tiger bone wine, 20 jars of Baihua wine, 10 jars of willow leaf roast, 90 large silver ingots, two official tickets of 50 taels of denominations, 5 bottles of vegetable cui pill (one of which used 5 bottles), 3 red line fruits, a board car, fifteen official standard long knives, and two ordinary forged long swords,
Twenty more throwing knives.
The flying knife is three inches and seven minutes long, and can be easily caught by fingers, which is cast by Yang Hezi, a blacksmith in the east of the county, and a total of 50 taels of silver was spent.
The style, which is the most ordinary, is the unified style of the Xinjin area (Xinjin, that is, "Xinzhou" and "Jinzhou" in Kyushu of the Daqian Dynasty).
Why?
The blacksmiths who cast weapons on this river and lake will not deliberately innovate unless they are particularly famous, let alone accept the weapon design drawings provided by others. After all, although the blacksmith who forged weapons on the rivers and lakes was the one who killed the people, there were other people, and when the time came... The relatives and friends of the slain want revenge, and if the killer cannot be found, they are likely to find a blacksmith.
This problem can be avoided by making it into a uniform style.
This also solves Baishan's concerns.
Although Sister Miao Miao bought it very carefully, if the blacksmith made a special style, then if someone checked it, it was very likely to find Yang Haozi, and then find other places, which would be a trouble after all.
Bai Shan checked the items again, then pushed the door and walked out quickly, walking quickly to the west of the county.
Originally, he also wanted to get a map of the surrounding area, at least a map of the mountains, so as to understand the terrain and choose a suitable location for cultivation.
But he soon found that it was impossible to obtain a map in the Great Qian Dynasty, which was even more difficult and to obtain exercises.
There are also special regulations that clearly stipulate that "it is a serious crime to privately possess and draw public maps; Buying and selling maps is a capital offense, and as long as the evidence is conclusive, it can be directly beheaded."
Therefore, Bai Shan's plan to buy a map and choose a place to cultivate was directly gone.
However, he wasn't worried, the last experience made him vaguely know that Panshan Kou's stronghold was likely to be in the east of Taohua County, so... This time he went west, and then chose a hidden place a little farther away.
...
...
"Master, more than ten miles ahead is Taohua County, is it really okay for us to dress up like this?" In the mist, a teenager's voice rang out.
Another calm man's voice responded: "At the bottom, you can see more things, so that you can take the initiative, from now on, you don't need to call me master, just call me big brother." ā
"It's... Big... Eldest brother. ā
"Master, what about me? Iā" Another girl's voice rang out.
The calm male voice said: "You can also call it big brother." ā
"Big brother!"
"Hmm." The man in the cloth nodded.
This is a strong man in his thirties with a teenager and a girl, the strong man is slightly burly, his expression is not angry but mighty, even if he deliberately covers it up, he can only decorate it with more ash on his face.
This strong man in cloth is the vanguard reinforcement sent by the Tianyi Mansion - Gu Shuangyuan.
Ancient Frost Plain, stationed in the prefecture-level worship of Tianyi Mansion, enjoys the treatment of seven grades, and its strength is the five realms of martial arts.
And the boy and girl are his disciples, all of whom are warriors who have entered the four realms.
"Worship" was a special system of the Daqian Dynasty after the "ban on martial arts", and it was this system that allowed the Daqian Dynasty to completely suppress the rivers and lakes, and also made many powerful people in the rivers and lakes hate the Daqian Dynasty to the core.
However, many of the strong people who "disobeyed discipline" have been killed, and the rest are either incognito, or they have drilled the basket of household registration, changed their names, and started over, but no matter what, the blood feud between them and the Daqian Dynasty is impossible to settle.
Having said that, after the strength of the martial arts practitioner is successful, there are two mainstream options.
First, continue to cultivate among the legitimate forces of the rivers and lakes;
Second, join the government, get a "worship" name, and then like an army official, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
Unlike those legitimate Jianghu forces, the government has countless exercises, and the Jianghu forces only have a few exercises.
Therefore, the worship of the government is very popular, but the number of places for this worship is also limited, every time the worship is recruited, it will attract a lot of open and secret fighting, and every time there is a task, it will also attract a lot of competition for worship because of merit.
This time, it was this ancient frost that was appointed.
However, after a little understanding, Gu Shuangyuan did not appear directly, but chose to dress up in disguise, cloth and coarse clothes, and secretly entered Taohua County.
Suddenly, this prefecture-level worshipper slowed down, took two more steps, and stopped directly.
Behind him, the two disciples were stunned.
The girl asked, "Teacher... Big brother, what's wrong? ā
The young man also wondered, why did the master suddenly stop while walking?
However, Gu Shuangyuan did not answer, the burly man had a serious expression, his arms hung slightly, and the hanging fist was slowly clenched.
As the fist clenched, the thick green tendons bulged up on his arm like a knotted old tree root, and the fist was flashing with a thin layer of black light, which was extremely powerful and terrifying.
The boy and girl suddenly became vigilant, tensed up, and looked around.
In the thin mist, the two of them finally heard footsteps, and also saw a faint gray humanoid silhouette, which was a man wrapped in a cloak and wearing a wooden mask.
At this moment, walking in such a place, still dressed like this, it looks very suspicious.
But although it is suspicious, if a teenager or girl encounters it, he will not have such a strong reaction as Master.
However, the two of them knew that the master must have sensed the danger by doing so...
Ordinary people only know that Gu Shuangyuan is agile and has advanced fist skills, but few people know that Gu Shuangyuan's premonition is extremely strong, and Gu Shuangyuan can always detect some hidden crises.
As the two sides approached, Grey Shadow also stopped.
Gu Shuangyuan's expression was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency?" ā
Gray Shadow didn't answer, but let out a hoarse voice and asked rhetorically, "Are you a Panshan Kou?" ā
Gu Shuangyuan said: "No, what about you? ā
Gray Shadow hoarsely said, "Me is not either. ā
Gu Shuangyuan became more and more vigilant, squinted his eyes and said: "Your Excellency, let's talk about your identity, at this time, walking in this kind of place......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted.
A fierce momentum rose around the gray shadow, as if a fierce beast jumped out of the mountains and wastelands, and this momentum made Gu Shuangyuan's whole body instinctively tense, like a bowstring that had been pulled to the limit......
A feeling of suffocation rose from the bottom of his heart.
The two were at a stalemate.
After a few seconds, the gray shadow lost its momentum and said hoarsely, "I have no ill intentions, and I have no intention of getting involved in anything. Panshan Kou, the government, it has nothing to do with me, you... Don't make a fuss. ā
Gu Shuangyuan hesitated for two or three seconds, then looked at him deeply, turned sideways to get out of the way, and let the gray shadow walk over.
It wasn't until the gray shadow walked away that fine beads of sweat and thin layers of heat welled up from his body.
"Big brother, that guy?" The boy and the girl couldn't help but ask curiously, they didn't feel the momentum of the gray shadow just now, or the momentum of the gray shadow did not lock the two of them.
Gu Shuangyuan said solemnly: "He is very scary, and he doesn't know what his identity is." Forget it, let's not talk about it yet, let's hurry up and enter Taohua County..."
"Yes, big brother."
