Chapter 65: Drought
"The Way of the World ......"
Yuan Qin sighed softly.
How many people can the White Moon Society help?
This city is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is still a time when it seems to be prosperous.
But outside the city, a large number of displaced people have gathered.
It's always a big hidden danger.
"Drought...... War...... But the infighting is endless......"
Although she is just a daughter and a martial artist, she also understands that the current court is a little chaotic.
She subconsciously looked at the sky.
It's still cloudless and good.
However......
How long has it been since it rained?
At this time, she suddenly noticed that the warriors who happened to pass by on the side of the road looked at their carriage with some fear, and even deliberately turned sideways and lowered their heads, as if they were afraid of being noticed.
Not only martial artists, but also ordinary people, when they saw their carriages, they would deliberately dodge, and even pull their own children to hide behind them, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
"That's the White Moon Society, it's really magnificent......"
"Be careful not to talk nonsense, I heard that the White Moon Society is now the number one gang in Linglong City, and it is very ......powerful."
"Don't look at it, watch too much, be careful and be caught and sold to the Qinglou......"
"Let's get out of the way, don't disturb the big guys inside......"
Passers-by looked uneasy and whispered, but in fact, many of them fell into Yuanqin's ears.
After all, she is also a martial artist and has good hearing.
She smiled helplessly, lowered the curtain and stopped looking.
A clear conscience is good.
……
The carriage drifted away with the flying dust.
"Ahem......"
Liu Xiaopang, who was hiding behind the street vendors, relaxed, took two deep breaths but choked on the dust, and patted his chest exaggeratedly.
I don't know if it's because I'm so scared that I can't breathe.
"Is it that scary?"
Han You, who was eating a sugar gourd, could see that the carriage in the distance was the Yuan Qin he was familiar with, and he didn't know where to go.
But now that the identity revealed is different, he won't go to say hello and recognize him.
"You don't understand! That's the White Moon Society! ”
Liu Xiaopang's eyes widened.
"In just three days, the Tigers and the Beacon Gang were destroyed successively......
"The most important thing is ......"
He pretended to hold his palm mysteriously against his mouth, as if he was afraid that others would listen to it, and whispered.
"It is said that just last night, an eighth-rank martial artist and two seventh-grade martial artists were directly killed for robbing women and making trouble on their territory!"
"Eight pins! That's eight pins! ”
"Huh!"
A bamboo stick he took out of nowhere in his hand waved it in a similar way, as if it was a peerless sword, his expression was serious, and his face was tense.
"Just one move, instant kill!"
"Isn't it powerful, you say?"
He pretended to sigh profoundly, and sighed sincerely: "Now it is estimated that the martial artists of the whole city, except for the people from our City Lord's Mansion, will go around them." ”
"So powerful? Could it be that he is a peerless master? ”
Han You followed his words and patted the fart of his vest, pretending to be curious and shocked.
Liu Xiaopang shook his head.
"That's not clear. Anyway, the master of the White Moon Society is very strong and mysterious. Although our city lord's mansion has the background of the imperial court, and the city lord is a master of the nine grades, our little adopted sons are not qualified to ask about those masters, so it is better to be careful. ”
"Otherwise, if we accidentally provoke the White Moon Society, even if we are killed, no one will avenge us."
"Okay, let's hurry up, just over there in front of the Lu Pavilion, the beauties of Wenyao Academy are waiting for us!"
Han You nodded indifferently, ate the sugar gourd in one bite, and walked forward.
However, when the two of them walked to the door, they found that the carriage of the White Moon Society they had just seen was parked nearby, which suddenly made Liu Xiaopang's face a little delicate.
"Why are these people here...... he muttered quietly, and then seemed to comfort Han You but more like comforting himself, "But here are all talented women of letters, and those people from the White Moon Society should not do anything here, no matter how cruel they are." ”
"Brother Han, don't worry, since I invited you here, I will naturally protect you!"
He slapped his chest with a bang, but only he knew how much confidence he had.
Han You didn't take this guy's assurances to heart, his eyes had already fallen on this manor.
There are a few tall domestic servants standing at the door, who should be the servants under the master of this manor, and the strongest is only one first-grade martial artist, and the rest are ordinary people who are not in the ranks, but their bodies are stronger than ordinary people.
If placed elsewhere, this defense is simply indistinguishable from nothing.
But here, it's more than enough to deal with the literati who are full of articles but have no power to do it.
At this time, they are checking the identities of the people who enter one by one, in order to prevent bad people from getting in.
And the clothes that belonged to the City Lord's Mansion on Liu Xiaopang and Han You were the best proof, and the other party immediately bowed his head respectfully when he saw them.
This feeling of superiority made Liu Xiaopang quite proud, deliberately straightened his clothes, and then walked in with his head held high.
After Han You followed in, he found that there were already many people gathered here at this time.
There are many elegant and pure and sweet girls wearing the same style of white dresses, some personable literati, some officials and gentry, and even a lot of warriors dressed in strong clothes but not carrying any weapons.
Probably because it's an event for social gatherings, most of the people who gather here are young talents.
Either they have an entry-level martial arts at a young age, or they are literati who are full of wealth, and some are those petty officials who have fame.
Interestingly, though, the camps are also very obvious.
First of all, the top class are those literati who boast of being high-minded, talking about the disadvantages of the times, attracting many like-minded girls from Wenyao Academy to gather around to talk and laugh.
It is also the most enviable part, and the location is also the coolest and most comfortable place, and many people are interested in playing the piano, which is quite lively.
The second is those petty officials and young masters whose strength has reached the third rank or above before at least twenty-five.
These people also have great investment potential, and they may also soar in the future, so there are also many girls who will appreciate their faces and talk.
Again, it is those martial artists and ordinary people whose strength is not too high.
There are only a few familiar women around.
And unfortunately, Liu Xiaopang and Han You, who have only one or two grades in strength, obviously belong to the lowest level.
If the clothes of the two city lords' mansions can make people look up to them outside, but here it is different.
At a casual glance, you can see two or three people who slipped out of the City Lord's Mansion who were similar to Liu Xiaopang and others.
Therefore, their own strength is not too prominent, and they are not very conspicuous.
