Chapter 8: The New World (2)

Zhennan Hou Mansion is located in the Yongxing Fang in the northeast direction of Ming Jingjing City, separated from the Imperial City by a Fuxing Fang, and the north city wall of the capital is also separated by a Xiude Fang, and between the west city wall, there are Yongning, Qingxing two squares, as for the south city wall there are ten squares.

The four squares on both sides of the imperial city are the mansions of the nobles, and the mansions are built in a unified manner, and then the merits are given to the lords.

Zhennan Hou Mansion covers an area of more than 80 zhang vertically and horizontally, the layout is square, and Yi Zhongming was given it when he sealed the Hou 11 years ago.

On the eastern side of the house is a garden, and on the grass in the garden, a young child is dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, and his short hair is combed into the form of horns. The boy sat alone on the grass and played. The childish boy is Yi Saburo, at this time he is holding a thin stick in his hand, poking and poking on the grass, looking like an innocent child's play.

It has been ten days since the attack on Chidao outside the West Market, and in the past ten days, on every clear night, Yi Saburo has looked up at the starry sky, full of expectations but has never been able to find the Big Dipper and Orion Constellation, which are the stars he is most familiar with.

In this world, which at first glance looks like an ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, it is actually different from any other dynasty in ancient China. At least Yi Saburo had never heard of such a country or dynasty as Jingguo.

These days, Yi Saburo has learned a little bit about the situation under the side knocks.

Yi Lai, Yi Saburo, is the youngest son of Nanhou Yi Zhan (word Zhongming) in Nanjingguo Town, lost his mother at the age of four, was born prematurely and was a little weak, so far more than six years old, but he has hardly been out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, so easy to ten days ago, because his maternal grandfather and grandmother missed his grandson, Yi Sanlang and Yi Erlang went to Juxianfang to visit their grandparents on the way to the attack of unknown people, fortunately, the Hou Mansion guards were elite and hardworking, and they were helped by Shi Aniu (the masked horseman), a subordinate of his father Yi Zhongming in the early years, Finally, under the support of his uncle Qin Qiao (Zi Zijun), he returned to the Hou Mansion safely.

Afterwards, Shi Aniu stayed in the Hou Mansion.

Yi Saburo was also thanked by a guard named Song Shentong - it is said that people thought that Song Shentong was dead at that time, and it was Yi Saburo who desperately and persistently asked Qin Zijun to rescue him, and finally pulled him back from the ghost gate. Song Shentong, who has a good cultivation, is estimated to take a month to recover, and according to Liu Quan, Song Shentong will be with Mo Liu to protect San Lang in the future.

Speaking of Liu Quan, this person with the same name as He Shen's housekeeper, although he is also a housekeeper, is actually Yi Zhongming's best friend for many years, and Yi Zhongming's three sons all call Liu Quan uncle. And Liu Quan has an official position in his body - Changshi - belongs to the adjutant of the Marquis of Zhennan, if he is willing to go to the feudal town of the Marquis of Zhennan, it is no problem to be a county, if he is willing to go out with the Marquis of Zhennan, he can also lead the troops to fight, and staying in the Hou Mansion of Zhennan is to assist the Hou of Zhennan to deal with government affairs, and when the Hou of Zhennan is not in the Hou Mansion, Changshi can act as an agent for government affairs. Even if Liu Quan leaves Zhennanhou, he can also go to the local county to serve through the selection system.

Speaking of the attack ten days ago, the military pillar of the empire, Zhennanhou, was handling military affairs on the frontier, but the relatives of Zhennanhou, who was a nobleman of the empire, were attacked in the capital, and it was a well-organized assassination. This matter has become a major case in the capital and even the empire, and it has almost shaken the entire Ming capital.

According to Yi Saburo's concern, the results of the survey do not seem to be ideal. The people who did it were either masked or disguised, and they were slippery and slippery, especially in places with many people such as the West Market, like droplets of water sprinkled into the sea.

Liu Quan personally asked Shi Aniu. The information obtained was of little use. Shi Aniu has never seen the client, through the broker to receive the entrusted task, the task information obtained is only to intercept the vehicle that is prominently surrounded, the target is the rich businessman Cen Zifang, the task reward is three thousand silver dollars, of course, this remuneration is not enough for the grandmaster-level horizontal training horseman, but for the idle man Shi Aniu who has no family business, it is a huge amount of money, not to mention that he has to deal with Cen Zifang, a famous profiteer in the capital, it is regarded as a chivalrous battle. Before the mission began, Shi Aniu saw the person who presided over the mission, but it was an unknown figure hidden under the cloak.

Liu Quan disclosed the information to the police officers of the Arrest Division, and as the head of the Hou Changshi of Zhennan and the person involved in the case, he participated in the destruction of an underground broker organization located in the western suburbs of the capital, but he still found nothing, the broker has not seen the true face of the client, and the mission goal is also fake, after all, it is an underground organization, there is no card, and he will do things when he gives money, and he doesn't even ask the target!

The two people who were captured alive at the scene of the attack that day, Liu Quan captured the boxing master and Qin Zijun captured the innate martial artist who made the big iron spine, the boxing master was not from Jingguo, and he broke his heart and committed suicide when the people of the arrest division took over, so that the martial artist of the big iron spine was an idle man who took over the commission like Shi Aniu.

Some of the escapees were also arrested, and sure enough, they were all idlers who took the commission. It is speculated that most of the people who did it that day were these idlers, who were organized after being summoned by several masked figures and given a large amount of money before the move. That boxing master should be a member of the organization behind the scenes, but a dead man is not a native yet, and it is not easy to track it down.

The two guards of the city guard battalion stationed in Zhennan Hou also left a day ago, and the guards of the Hou Mansion were handed over to the Zhennan Hou army and guards.

The investigation of the case is still continuing, but more information is not something that Yi Saburo can easily understand now.

Regarding the perception of this world, Yi Saburo is still confused.

At this moment, in the garden of the Hou Mansion, Yi Saburo seemed to be playing aimlessly on the grass, but in fact, his inner thoughts were surging, or he was actually complaining violently in his heart.

"It's been six years, what the hell is going on? Did I have a long dream? Or did I not drink soup on the bridge? ”

"The world is too real, isn't it...... Obviously not on Earth...... I can't see the Big Dipper at night, and I can't find Orion, but this is the most influential and best star I can remember! I can't understand the characters in the book, but the glyph structure is very similar to the Chinese characters! There is also the language, the pronunciation of individual words is similar to the pronunciation of some of the older language families in southern China, but it is obviously a different system! ”

"And those martial arts are more like martial arts movies than martial arts movies!"

"It's time to admit the reality...... At least, the background in this life is still good......"

With a long breath, Yi Saburo stood up straight, put the stick in his hand on his shoulder, and looked up at the sky like a sassy swordsman carrying a sword. Well, the sky is blue and clear, there are a few white clouds floating here and there, and the weather is good! San Lang pinched his thigh slightly, pulled his thoughts back, and then put this hand behind his back, put on a posture of Yue Zhi Yuanyu, and began an inner monologue - not complaining.

"My name is Yi Lai, and when I was just born, my father took the word "Anzhi", the third in the family, so people also call me Yi Saburo. Ten days ago, my second brother and I went to visit my grandfather's house when we were attacked inexplicably. The attackers had clearly been planning for a long time, and the whole process was intertwined and extremely cleverly arranged. Fortunately, I met my father's subordinates who saved him many years ago, he was a strong man known as Henglian Pifu, he wandered to the capital to receive commissions for a living, and when he found out that the target was us, he chose to fight back. However, it seems that Uncle Liu Mingde and Uncle Mo Liu don't trust this masked man very much. At the end of the attack, I met my uncle Qin Zijun, who was a very handsome and temperamental scholar, but seemed to have a high level of martial arts. In the whole attack, what impressed me the most was the martial arts, definitely the kind of martial arts that can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, fly flowers and pick leaves, I want to learn! ”

"According to Uncle Liu Mingde, it is estimated that there will be a follow-up to this attack, in fact, I think so...... And I had a vague feeling that the target of those people was actually me. I'm just a helpless kid now, and there's nothing I can do about the situation. Fortunately, Uncle Mingde, Uncle Mo Liu, and Uncle Mo are all very capable and powerful people, and they should be able to solve this problem, hopefully! ”

"Actually, I have a secret, I was reincarnated into this world, I don't know what happened when I was reincarnated, but I remember two things I came into contact with in my previous life, which were two legendary martial arts classics, I can't be sure if those two classics are true, and I don't know if they are related to this world, whether they are compatible with the martial arts system of this world, and do not conform to the basic rules of this world. I don't dare to cultivate in vain, because I don't understand the basic principles of martial arts at all, and it is impossible to look at the meridian diagram of the practice and generate true qi out of thin air. ”

"I remember that when I got two texts before I was reincarnated, that is, before the end of my previous life, I didn't read the contents of the texts carefully, but now I have the full set of contents of the two texts in my head. On top of that—I don't know if it's my delusion—I seem to remember the end of my memories from my past life, and vaguely I seem to hear a voice saying, "Go you!" "It makes me uneasy."

"In this life, I am not like an orphan in my previous life, I have a happy family, I have parents who love me, I love them - I am very sure. However, my mother died inexplicably, and my father seemed to be taking my eldest brother to accumulate military merits on the frontier in order to treat me. This time I was attacked again inexplicably, which made me very uneasy. This feeling of being involuntary is terrible, like the inexplicable end of a previous life. ”

"Perhaps, the martial arts of this world is a way to strengthen oneself, a way to control one's own destiny. I'd like to give it a try......"

Not far away, Mo Liu watched Yi Saburo stand still and look at the sky, not moving for a long time, scratching his head a little puzzled, also looking up at the sky, casually carrying the sword on his shoulder, and feeling a little strange that this posture is still very interesting.
