Volume 1 Chapter 9 Xu Yan who loves fishing

Six days later, a group of members of the Equality Church came to the outside of Jiangzhou City.

Jiangzhou City is known as the southern part of the entire Holy Tree Dynasty, the throat of the throat, the key point of the vital point! The city is built along the undulations of the mountains, majestic and majestic, and close to a river moat, with an excellent geographical location.

At this time, everyone was being examined for entering the city in turn, and everyone was scattered in the crowd with a tacit understanding. Taking advantage of the opportunity to wait, Xu Yan recalled some interesting small details in the itinerary in the past few days.

The swordsmen Chi Kaisheng, Thrush, and Nanyan in Tsing Yi often gather together to discuss some things, but whenever Xu Yan walks by, the discussion of these three people will stop in time, obviously they have something to hide from Xu Yan.

Even just now, when everyone was dispersed in the crowd, Xu Yan also found that Chi Kaisheng quietly made a gesture to the thrush, and just as Xu Yan was about to reason further, the words of several strangers in front of him attracted his attention.

A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman is introducing Jiangzhou City to his friends.

"You know what! Now the scale of our Jiangzhou City is on par with Wangtian City! I believe that in a few years, our Jiangzhou City will be the largest city in the Holy Tree Dynasty! It's your first time coming to Jiangzhou, do you know why our development speed is so fast? ”

The friends of the rich businessman shook their heads one after another, and listened to the rich businessman continue to say proudly:

"The reason for this! Actually, there are two, I'll tell you slowly!

The first reason is because of the Holy Crown Temple, the state religion of our Holy Tree Dynasty, the last Pope, Lord Wilde, who was born and raised and developed in Jiangzhou City. Therefore, the holy tree blesses this place, and let us Jiangzhou City people be outstanding spirits. Many people from the surrounding cities and villages have moved here with their families for the good fortune of the sacred tree. The descendants of Lord Wilde are now a first-class family in Jiangzhou City!

The second reason is that only the natives of Jiangzhou City know the ins and outs, so I'll tell you slowly! Forty years ago, everyone should know about the rebel war of the Infected! Those people almost broke through the capital city of Wangtian! At that time, an infector army came to the outside of Jiangzhou City, they were trying to attack the city, and that army was 100,000 people!

At that time, whether it was the defending troops of the Holy Crown Dynasty or the temple soldiers of the Holy Crown Temple, there were less than 30,000 people in Jiangzhou City. However, who let us Jiangzhou City be blessed by the holy tree! With none of the troops defending the city fighting, the Sacred Tree directly punished the rebel forces of the 100,000 infestation!

I was a kid then! I hid in my house and shivered, only to hear the lightning and thunder outside! Then there was the sound of cheering from the city walls! The adults all said that all the 100,000 infected people were killed by lightning! Not a single one survived!

After this incident, the surrounding people who were persecuted by the war came to our Jiangzhou City with their families to settle down, hoping to seek the protection of the sacred tree. Since then, the infector troops around Jiangzhou City have all walked around Jiangzhou City, and during that time, the entire dynasty was in turmoil, dying every day, and only our Jiangzhou City was the safest! Therefore, stability can develop, after these forty years, the current Jiangzhou City is the city that believes in the Holy Crown Temple the most, and the capital of the dynasty, Wangtian City, is far inferior to ours! ”

This wealthy businessman said such a long paragraph, and he didn't have a little stumble, which shows that he has bragged to outsiders many times on weekdays.

After hearing such a legendary history, the friends of the wealthy businessman were moved by the story and looked at this magical city with anticipation in their eyes.

After listening to the rich businessman's story, Xu Yan's doubts in his heart became a little heavier.

During these six days, Xu Yan had studied the map, and this Jiangzhou City was not a city that had to be passed through on the return journey. Moreover, the Equality Sect and the Holy Crown Temple are obviously mortal enemies, why did a group of people deliberately come to Jiangzhou City with such a devout faith, the risks and benefits are obviously disproportionate!

Just as Xu Yan was thinking, a group of peculiar people walked into Xu Yan's sight.

At the other end of the crowd, many soldiers surrounded an old man in cloth like a moon, and the armor of these soldiers took on two very different styles. According to the account of the wealthy merchant just now, these soldiers in front of him should be from two groups of troops, one belonging to the garrison troops of the Holy Tree Dynasty, and the other belonging to the temple soldiers of the Holy Crown Temple.

What kind of old man should have such a right to make two teams of soldiers of different affiliations completely obey him.

What this old man in cloth did was extremely interesting, and he actually took the initiative to interact with every young man queuing up to enter the city.

This way of interaction turned out to be...

Shake hands?

What's going on?

It wasn't until the group of people slowly approached that Xu Yan saw all the old man's movements and words.

The old man in cloth would deliberately walk into a young man of about twenty years old, whether he was male or female, he would first look at his face, then grab one of the other person's hands, close his eyes and think about it, and finally come up with a comment.

"Ahem... You're a piece of trash! ”

"Ahem... It's okay, you can talk about it after you enter the city! ”

"Ahem... What is your name! But Jiangzhou people? There's a pawnshop on the corner of Bullpen..."

Accompanied by steel swords and armor, the young men were very cooperative, and no matter what the old man said, the young people were sincere.

The old man in cloth, who shook hands and interacted, soon came to Xu Yan, and the old man kept looking at Xu Yan with a mask, and did not stretch out his hand for a long time.

"Mr. Qing, is there anything wrong with this person?" The soldiers defending the city who stood aside asked the old man in cloth.

"I guess I'm wearing a mask! You crumb! Don't take off your mask yet! The temple soldier took the initiative to scold at Xu Yan. These temple soldiers are usually high-minded, so their attitude is much more arrogant than that of the soldiers defending the city.

Xu Yan didn't pay attention to the arrogant temple soldier, but just looked at the old man in cloth through the mask.

Seeing that his order was ignored, the temple soldier walked straight to Xu Yan's side and violently pushed Xu Yan's shoulder.

Unexpected!

Under the push and shove of the temple soldiers, Xu Yan didn't move at all. The temple soldier felt a little embarrassed in his face, and then roared loudly, and a punch directly hit Xu Yan's shoulder.

This punch is mixed with a slight sound of breaking the air, which shows the great strength! This temple soldier is so heavy on the person he meets for the first time.

The people around all looked sideways, and the rich businessman and his friends who had told the story before hid far away, for fear of being contaminated with a little cause and effect.

To everyone's surprise, such a powerful fist hit Xu Yan's shoulder, and it turned out to be a mud cow into the sea, silently! The expressions of the temple soldiers were even more incredulous!

Xu Yan looked at the fist that was in contact with his body, frowned slightly, and then shook his shoulder slightly, as a counterattack and punishment! The arrogant temple soldier, maintaining a punching posture, was instantly ejected into a parabola!

A very high parabola!

One that makes all the people around draw a semicircular parabola in the air with their heads!

The scene fell silent in an instant!

After a long time, the old man in cloth, known as Mr. Qing, spoke:

"Ahem... Judging by your body shape and the lines of your lips, you should be no more than twenty years old. Young people are in good health, but impulsiveness is not a good thing for your age! ”

This old-fashioned remark directly guessed Xu Yan's age based on the details, and at the same time secretly ridiculed Xu Yan.

And Xu Yan roughly judged the old man's purpose based on the old man's behavior along the way. So he didn't pay attention to the old man's subtext, but took the initiative to ask:

"Do you still want to shake hands?"

After that, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Mr. Qing!

"At first glance, you are the waste of the waste, and you deserve to shake hands with the old gentleman!" The temple soldier who was out of the parabola by Xu Yan didn't know when he ran back, he drew his steel knife and looked at Xu Yan with an angry face.

Old Mr. Qing waved his hand at the temple soldier, and the temple soldier immediately fell silent. Then the old man in Tsing Yi said to Xu Yan:

"Ahem... Jiangzhou City is originally a city blessed by the holy tree, and each young person receives different gifts from the sacred tree, and the upper limit of his ability is also different. If it is a talent who is particularly favored by the holy tree, it is natural that there will be special treatment in Jiangzhou City! But if it's just a waste, I believe that this temple general will take you to a completely different Jiangzhou City, young man, have you thought about it? ”

These words were the old man's last warning, and Xu Yan nodded directly at the old man.

Mr. Qing did not hesitate, and his dry palm immediately grasped Xu Yan's delicate hand.

Tick!

Tick!

Sweat!

One drop! Two drops!

A row! Two rows!

Densely packed!

Appeared on the forehead of Mr. Qing!

His breathing was getting shorter and shorter!

He looked at Xu Yan incredulously, and the pupils in his eyes kept dilating!

After a while, Mr. Qing withdrew his hand holding Xu Yan tremblingly, and suddenly whispered to Xu Yan:

"You! Why is it still on earth? ”

After saying this, Mr. Qing seemed to feel speechless, and directly took a few steps back, his eyes kept looking Xu Yan up and down. Immediately, his face was full of smiles, and he said to Xu Yan:

"This little friend, you and I are destined, can I invite you to a gathering in the city?"

Xu Yan replied calmly: "Can I refuse?" ”

Mr. Qing laughed out loud after hearing Xu Yan's reply, and said patiently:

"Of course you can refuse, then the old man will pull down this face and stay with you until Xiaoyou is willing to get together!"

Listening to the old man's words, he was obviously ready to play a scoundrel.

And Xu Yan's move is so high-profile, not only to shake off his prestige, but more importantly, Xu Yan wants to catch another fish.

No, the fish immediately spoke!

"Grandpa Qing! He's with me! ”

Thrush stepped out of the crowd of onlookers.

After seeing that the person who came was the thrush, Mr. Qing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the thrush, and then said to the thrush:

"Miss, it's been three years! You're finally back! ”

The thrush naturally returned the salute, and then said, "I'll go back to the house with him, can Grandpa Qing lead the way?" ”

"Of course!"

...

With a smile, Xu Yan got into a delicate carriage with the thrush.

In the eyes of everyone, the carriage drove directly into the city.

Thrush whispered after repeatedly confirming that the coachman would not eavesdrop.

"You did it on purpose!"

Xu Yan was silent.

I remember that Xu Yan once said to Thrush that silence means acquiescence.

And the purpose of the Equality Sect and his party coming to Jiangzhou City gradually surfaced.

...
