After leaving the Xia Mansion, the customs of the martial arts world in this feudal era were gradually displayed in front of Chen Ji.

At this time, it is evening, and the sun shines on the mountain and reflects the many ancient buildings hidden in the lush autumn maple forest.

The pavilions and verdant mountains sit on the top of the hill with a magnificent temple with a red roof, which is picturesque from any angle, and even the sky is exceptionally blue.

The roads above ground are paved with a single block of masonry, and they stretch from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Descending to the foot of the mountain, Chen Ji saw that such a road had extended all the way to Yongkang City.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and there are also warriors who come and go in a hurry, carrying swords and waiting for swords, and wearing hats and straw hats.

Chen Ji heard that these warriors were talking about the deep pool, the true dragon, the sacrificial tribute, the land immortals, and so on.

Some people mentioned the Red Leaf Monk and speculated whether the land immortal was a monk who had already attained the unity of heaven and man as rumored thirty years ago.

Chen Ji, an earthling, was looking at the scenery, but the locals didn't care and concentrated on drinking milk tea.

"Miss, strawberry milk tea is delicious, cold and sweet, is this the immortal brew that immortals often drink?"

"Childe is listening, and he is not ashamed."

Xia Shumin, who was holding the milkshake in his slender white hand, returned to the green bamboo outside the carriage, and quickly glanced at Chen Ji opposite.

She bit the straw in her little mouth, and her ruddy little face showed a look of enjoyment.

Obviously, I like the milk tea of this earth fairy world very much.

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Chen Ji and her sat in a richly decorated carriage, and the two maids sat outside, but the curtain of the internal and external partitions was not lowered.

Chen Ji sat opposite her, admiring the scene of Miss Gu drinking mango milkshake.

The milk tea that girls in the modern world love to drink is held in the hand by a daughter of Zhao Guo in the martial arts world, giving people a wonderful feeling of time and space travel, the contrast between ancient and modern.

"If you want to drink it, I'll buy it for you next time, there are various flavors."

Chen Ji said with a smile.

"Okay, good, thank you, Childe, Childe is so good to my young lady... Uh, Miss, I was wrong. ”

The happy Cuizhu was glared at by her young lady.

Not reserved at all!

Chen Ji was about to say that it didn't matter, but suddenly noticed something and looked ahead.

Xia Shumin bit the straw with his small mouth, held the milk tea, and turned his head to look.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car, take off the hat and mask, hurry up, line up in a row for the little masters to check before passing!"

"Let you hurry up, what are you grinding?!"

Ahead, more than a dozen sturdy men with bright broadswords and uniform clothes stopped at the intersection, threatening passers-by to get out of the carriage, take off their gauze and hats, and show them their appearance before they can pass.

Chen Ji raised his eyebrows, judging from the dress of those people and the expressions of passers-by, these people with knives were obviously not from the government.

But dare to block the road to check?

Moreover, it is stopped at the intersection of Hongye Mountain, where many wealthy families live in Yongkang City, and there are imperial army stationed two or three miles away.

Xia Shumin, who was on the other side, also frowned, probably not knowing who they were.

However, Luzhu lowered the curtain, obviously not wanting to show those people the appearance of the young lady.

The carriage moved on.

Soon came to this group, more than a dozen big knives had all been pulled out of their sheaths, and they looked like they could cut people at any time.

"The people inside come down!"

The carriage of the county keeper's house had no special signs, and as a matter of course, it was stopped.

Cuizhu, who was driving, opened his mouth and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, and don't look at who is sitting in the car, get out of the way!" Otherwise, my lord will send someone to arrest you all like a prison! ”

Chen Ji couldn't help but smile, the little lady's maid has a very hot temper.

Still, it didn't work.

The words made more than a dozen men burst into laughter, and the knives in their hands were raised towards her, making a gesture of encirclement.

"Yo, whose lady is this?"

One of them stood up, looked the twin maids up and down with a knife and a smile, "The maid looks good, I don't know how the young lady is inside, come down and show the brothers?" ”

"Get down!"

"Get out of the car and take a look!"

"What official lady, our Heavenly Sword Society is still afraid of you?!"

The others followed suit, and after reporting the name of the Heavenly Sword Society, many people who were watching also stopped thinking of stepping forward to help, and dared not speak out.

"Heavenly Sword Society?"

Chen Ji looked at Xia Shumin on the opposite side, the latter nodded, and said in a low voice: "The Heavenly Sword Club has a lot of helpers, and the name of the gang leader Chu Nantian is like thunder in the rivers and lakes, almost comparable to the Gongsun Sword God of the Buried Sword Peak, and the domineering and unrivaled Heavenly Absolute Sword Technique in one hand, plus the World Sword Sword created by the Pavilion Master of the Sword Casting Pavilion in his hand, there are not many people in the Jianghu martial arts who dare to take its edge." ”

"It is said that Chu Nantian also came to Yongkang County and is tracking down the origin of the book "Zhao Sanhate".

Speaking of the last sentence, Xia Shumin's face turned red, and his expression was a little twisted.

Chen Ji suddenly realized: "I remember that "Zhao San's Hatred and Hatred" was written by a little lady surnamed Xia, right? The story of the land immortal was the first to be invented by her. ”

"Childe ~~~!" The little lady surnamed Xia said coquettishly.

"Hahaha."

Chen Ji smiled and flicked his long sleeves, and a powerful energy flew out of the carriage window, slamming into the small leader of the Heavenly Sword Society closest to the carriage, knocking him more than ten meters away, rolling and falling heavily to the ground.

The knife in his hand shattered into pieces, whistling out, and inserted into the soles of his feet in a neat and orderly manner, as if he had put a stick of incense on him.

It was quiet.

The people of the Heavenly Sword Society, who were still making a commotion just now, all froze in place, their eyes were not very frightened, but they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, knowing that there were masters in the carriage that they couldn't afford to provoke.

"Humph!"

Cuizhu didn't bother to bother with them at this time, raised his chin and snorted at them, then raised his horsewhip and slapped it behind the horse's buttocks, letting the carriage continue to move forward.

"Leave them alone?"

Chen Ji asked.

"How?" The little lady took a sip of milk tea, and her eyes changed from admiration to slight doubt.

"They blocked the way, and you, as the daughter of the imperial court and county guard, didn't report to the officials?"

Chen Ji couldn't figure out how the Zhao Imperial Court managed the people and the rivers and lakes, but he just felt that this group of people dared to block the road and inspect, so they had to take care of it, right?

Xia Shumin shook his head: "Childe doesn't know, there are so many things that I can't manage." ”

She paused for a moment and said: "Most of the affairs of the rivers and lakes are managed by the rivers and lakes, the Heavenly Sword Society has been listed as a demon gate by the imperial court, Chu Nantian has a bad reputation, if he continues to be overbearing, there will always be a Jianghu sect to unite against him, and now the imperial court should be worried about how to dig him out of his roots in Beiyang County." ”

"Can the imperial court send a master to kill him?"

"Unless an ambush is designed, the supreme grandmaster like Chu Nantian can't be killed easily."

Chen Ji probably understood.

There is a delicate balance between the Zhao court and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, the people of the rivers and lakes generally do not go to the ordinary people to trouble, if there is, and do not stop after the warning, they will be listed as the devil by the court, and they have their own chivalrous and righteous Jianghu people to take action.

In the event of a bad case, such as a murderous person, the imperial court will send a quick arrest, and most of the Jianghu sects will also happily agree to help arrest them out of morality.

This is just a simplistic summary, but the actual complexity is far greater.

For example, in the Heavenly Sword Society, there are many wealthy businessmen in Beiyang County who secretly help or join, so that Chu Nantian has the potential to become a thief on the other side.
