Chapter 40: The Rivers and Lakes
Three days later, in an open space at the head of the city, a group of people from the rivers and lakes stood densely.
Ye Wuwu is also among them.
These are all people from the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the suppression of bandits because of the call of the government.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Ye Wuwu couldn't help but be a little surprised, there were as many as forty or fifty people in the rivers and lakes who came here.
He thought that no one would want to come here because of the call of the government, but he didn't think that he guessed wrong.
Ye Wuwu glanced around slightly, and when he saw that under the light, everyone's cultivation realm was immediately visible.
One is a second grade, two are third grades, five are four grades, and the rest are not in the stream.
Many of them were in groups, and the two Sanpin people were wearing the same clothes, obviously from the same sect, and there was a group of people behind them, who were talking quietly at the moment, but occasionally the corners of their eyes swept around, and Ye Wuwu could still see the slightest trace of contempt in the other party's eyes.
Ye Wuwu's expression was a little strange, and the other party seemed to be very proud of their cultivation in the three-grade realm.
Among them, the second-grade person turned out to be a young monk in somewhat shabby clothes, and at this moment the other party was standing far away from the crowd, with his hands folded and his face was flat.
This made Ye Wuwu a little curious.
However, Ye Wuwu also hoped to meet an acquaintance.
At this moment, a man with a sword in his forties was looking at Ye Wuwu at the moment, with surprise in his eyes.
It was Liu Cheng who met him in the mountain town next to the Diancang faction that day.
The other party said to himself that day that he wanted to send the child to the Diancang Sect as an apprentice, but he was so big by himself that day, and he didn't know if the other party's apprenticeship was going well......
The two greeted each other and walked over to the side to chat.
Ye Wuwu was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, the movement created that day, I don't know if the other party knew that he did it?
But Liu Cheng's words dispelled the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Ye, do you know what happened at that little Cang sect's disciple collection meeting, I was drunk that day and slept until noon, I thought my son was finished now, and guess what?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Wuwu's tone was a little tentative.
"As a result, the Cang faction, I don't know why it postponed the collection of disciples to the afternoon, and it happened to be caught up by us, do you say it's a coincidence?"
"It's a coincidence......
Liu Cheng smiled, and then pulled Ye Wuwu and whispered.
"I inquired later, and said that two people who claimed to be Taibai Sword Sect came in the morning, it seems that the two sides also competed, and I heard that one of them cut out a sword immortal sword qi, and I don't know how to do it."
Ye Wuwu's expression was a little stiff, and he said.
"Really?"
Liu Cheng patted the dust on his leg and said casually.
"Then what you want me to say, it's naturally false, how can there be such a young sword immortal, but if you want to be able to rectify these rumors, it's not much worse, and it is estimated that there must be a first-class realm, now young people, one is more evil than the other, we can't catch up, Brother Ye, you have to come on."
Ye Wuwu waved his hand, wanting to divert the topic from this.
"By the way, Brother Liu, why did you come to participate in the suppression of bandits by the government, were you also arrested by the government?"
Unexpectedly, when these words were said, Liu Cheng looked at Ye Wuwu with a surprised expression.
"What to catch, we people in the rivers and lakes, no sect or faction, can't compare to those famous families, usually don't have a serious job, just to eat here, but also to gain a good reputation, if this time it happens, the government will give the usual money."
Ye Wuwu suddenly realized.
Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes have lived as chic as the stories in the book.
The rivers and lakes are not only chivalrous and tender, happy and hateful, but also ordinary and somewhat boring life.
Ye Wuwu sighed, in fact, he also wanted to experience this kind of life.
But it doesn't allow tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in your pocket.
"What about them?" Ye Wuwu snorted at the group of people on the side who looked like they had a sect.
Liu Cheng glanced over there, and then said with some disdain.
"They? They are people from the nearby Evergreen Sect, and they are also a second-rate small sect, and they have come here to make a reputation, but I don't look down on them, and they will definitely run faster than anyone else when they encounter danger. ”
Ye Wuwu nodded, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a majestic voice.
"All be quiet, everyone, I am the person in charge of this encirclement and suppression operation, and then I will tell you about the upcoming entry into the mountain, ugly said ahead, this operation, we are divided into four groups according to the number of people, and the route is designated for you, no matter who finds the traces of the bandits, everyone can get the usual reward."
While the man was speaking, Ye Wuwu glanced around.
Many people in the rivers and lakes showed a trace of expectation and surprise in their eyes, and there was always a lot of money, and as long as one person found it.
But those Jianghu people above the four grades looked very calm, and they didn't feel any surprise because of the other party's words.
Ye Wuwu's expression was also very calm, this task was not difficult for him, because he had the skill of surveying maps.
But just as the other party said, this task is actually very easy, and it is far from enough to make the government pay the usual reward of one person.
The man from the government didn't say much, and after briefly explaining the arrangement, he left.
A group of people from the rivers and lakes also walked out of the city to each other and walked towards the South Mountain.
Nanshan is not far away from Nanyang City, which is more than half an hour's journey.
It's just that when I'm on the road, there are some small differences.
But it was the people of the Evergreen Sect, there were seven of them in their group, and they were talking loudly to the four Jianghu people at the moment, with a very disdainful look.
Ye Wuwu glanced at it, if he remembered correctly, the four of them were in a team with the other party according to the regulations.
After a while, the four of them shook their heads and walked out of the other party's team, and the Evergreen Sect continued to walk forward.
"This evergreen faction obviously doesn't want others to follow them, but they have something wrong with them, and a few more people won't lose a piece of meat." But Liu Cheng said with some dissatisfaction on the side.
Ye Wuwu shook his head and didn't care about the matter.
On his side, he was in the same team as Liu Cheng, and he didn't know the rest, but the second-grade monk was actually in the same team with him at the moment.
However, the monk only followed at the back of the team, and did not come forward to talk to the group.
Namsan was soon there, and according to the plan, they would split into four different routes to ascend the mountain here.
At the back of the ranks, followed by a platoon of officers and soldiers, who will then stand at the foot of the mountain.
If there are people in the rivers and lakes who want to escape, the result will not be good.
However, there was no fear in everyone's eyes, but the four people who broke away from the team showed a little hesitation in their eyes.
The people of the Evergreen Sect broke away from them and formed a team of their own, and now there are only four people on their side, and the danger of going up the mountain will increase a lot.
"Come on."
But it was Liu Cheng who said to them.
The four of them looked stunned for a moment, then thanked them again and again, and walked over quickly.
Ye Wuwu turned his head to look at Liu Cheng, but he happened to bump into the other party's face with a somewhat honest smile.
"It's all mixed up in the rivers and lakes, so help if you can."
After speaking, Liu Cheng also looked at the expressions of the other people in the team, and found that everyone did not object, so he continued to laugh.
Ye Wuwu smiled and nodded.
Perhaps, this is the rivers and lakes.
A river and lake where countless chivalrous people are suffering to survive, but they are full of kindness.
