Chapter 15: Zhiyun County

(Don't be bored, this is the main character's storyline about learning about a city.) )

Early the next morning.

The door of the bamboo house opened on time, still the same stretch, the same figure.

But it looks a little stronger than some time ago.

Knock knock!

Dr. Li, who woke up but hadn't gotten up yet, heard a gentle knock on the door and knew that it was Zhong Yuanxiu coming.

Lying on his side on the bed, he asked impatiently, "What are you doing, it's not dawn yet." ”

"Master, give money! Aren't you going to bring wine, I'm going to go to the county today. The young man replied outside the house, looking inside the house from time to time.

"It's coming!"

When the little old man heard that he was going to buy wine, the only trace of sleepiness left was gone, and he hurriedly pulled out three coins of silver from under the mattress.

The door creaked open, and he shoved the silver to the apprentice, and then said, "Go and go back quickly." ”

"Brother Zhong, wait a minute, bring something for me." Li Yinyin shouted in the room, stopping the young man who was just about to get up.

Chirping~

Hearing the voice, the young man soon saw a petite girl standing at the door of the opposite room.

Her hair was draped behind her back, and she hadn't had time to clean it up.

The appearance of just getting up made the young man's heart sway, and he seemed to feel the different beauty of Li Yinyin.

"Na! I want to buy a peachwood comb" Li Yinyin pinched ten cents in her hand and handed it to Zhong Yuanxiu with a smile.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll pick the most beautiful one for you!" The young man came back to his senses and said with an inconspicuous smile on his face just now.

"By the way, master, how far is our village from the county seat?" Young Xiu looked at the little old man and asked.

"It's not far, it's about eighty miles away." Dr. Li replied calmly.

"Eighty! Forget it, it's time to practice. The young man was a little surprised, and then thought that he was already a martial artist, so he didn't say anything more.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the young man said goodbye to the father and daughter.

Li Yinyin waved his hand.

The little old man waved his hand lightly, signaling the bastard boy to get out of here.

"Just look at this mirror, how much can you pit."

The young man opened the folding mirror, tasted his face, and stroked his hair very squeezily.

Among the items brought through the crossing, there are two folded realms.

This is when Zhong Yuanxiu was younger, in order to pretend to be forced, he was handsome and dressed up.

Now one piece is given to Li Yinyin, and the rest of the piece is planned to be used to fool the rich son in the county.

Closing the folding mirror, the young man's luck ran and quickly narrowed the distance between himself and Aries Town and Zhiyun County.

Aries Town.

After a distance of more than twenty miles, the young man arrived in less than two quarters of an hour.

After being inspected by the children on duty of the Baohe Regiment in Aries Town, he went straight in.

As he passed by the familiar sign, the young man noticed it at a glance.

So far, the murderer of Mayor Wang has not been found.

And Aries Town has already appointed a new mayor.

The young man walked through Aries Town without stopping.

The dead mayor is not related to him, so naturally he will not take it to heart.

Along the way, they were silently calculating the distance they had traveled, asking for directions and moving forward.

As a small villager of Sunset Village belonging to Zhiyun County, I also want to appreciate the style of the county as soon as possible.

Half an hour later.

The young man, who had been running for a long time, was a little tired and came to a tavern on the way.

The name of the tavern is "Shunji Liquor Shop", which is a very down-to-earth store name.

The owners are a young couple and a boy who has just learned to walk.

Several sets of tables and chairs were set up outside, and at one of the tables there were several strong men drinking and laughing with each other.

Looking at his figure, he should be a martial artist who is no different from Zhong Yuanxiu.

The young man who walked to the door of the store calmed down.

Then I asked for a bowl of fruit wine with a low degree in front of the counter.

Drink it all in one gulp, not spicy, but a little sweet.

I asked for another bowl.

The young man who had drunk the fruit wine only felt refreshed physically and mentally, and the fatigue accumulated on the road suddenly disappeared by half.

With a small plate of fried beans and a bowl of fruit wine in his hand, he found the nearest table and sat down.

Just as he was about to use his chopsticks to pick a bean and taste it, the young man noticed that these big men were all looking at him.

His face remained unchanged, and he smiled and nodded to the few people present.

Several people also nodded in greeting.

When the young man first arrived at the tavern, several people saw at a glance that he was also a martial arts cultivator.

Judging from the speed of running, there must be a triple strength of the cultivation realm.

After greeting each other, the big men stopped looking at the young man and continued to talk and drink.

The young man also picked up the wine bowl, took a small sip and tasted it, and from time to time sandwiched a fried bean, which was very pleasant.

"I don't know how many masters there will be at this martial arts conference held in the county." A bearded man said.

"Big brother, you don't care if he goes to a few masters, anyway, we don't have anything to do."

As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, a bohemian man answered.

"Second brother, you can't say that, although the three of us brothers can't compete for any fame, there is always some benefit to seeing it." The third of the three said quietly.

The eldest and second all nodded when they heard this.

These three people were born to one mother, and their height and appearance are somewhat similar, and the relationship between the three brothers can be known at a glance.

"This brother, I wonder if you also went to the martial arts conference?" The eldest of the three opened his mouth and asked Zhong Yuanxiu with a smile.

The voice is hearty.

"Me? I'll forget it, not long after the next martial arts, where do you dare to participate in any martial arts conference. ”

The young man who was eavesdropping next to him was stunned for a moment, and then denied it.

"I see, it's something abrupt, take your leave." The leading man hugged Zhong Yuanxiu with a fist.

Putting down a dozen pennies in his hand, the three brothers then left the wine shop and rode away.

The man's original intention - if this young man is also participating in the martial arts conference, then invite him to go with his three brothers.

If the three of them had been invited just now, with Zhong Yuan's cautious temperament, he would not have agreed to it 100%.

The rivers and lakes in his cognition are a world of the jungle.

doesn't have a certain strength, just come around, and I don't know how to die.

With Zhong Yuanxiu's current martial arts cultivation, it is far from enough to deal with the dangers of the rivers and lakes.

More is better than less, and caution is better.

A bowl of wine, a plate of beans, the young man tasted for a quarter of an hour.

After his strength was almost recovered, he took out five cents from the cloth bag and put it on the table.

"Thank you for the drinks!" Zhong Yuanxiu said loudly to the husband and wife.

"Where, where, the guest officer will come again next time." The shopkeeper hurriedly responded with a smile.

After speaking, the young man went out of the wine shop.

A few leaps started, but they stepped more than ten feet away, and then continued to run at the usual speed.

"Gotta buy a horse." The young man on the run had the idea of buying a horse.

When I go out like this, I can't say that I will die of exhaustion in the middle of the road one day.

Zhiyun County.

The young people who set off from Sunset Village arrived at the gate of the county seat an hour later.

The city wall is strong and square, towering majestically, and magnificent, giving people a feeling of ancient vicissitudes.

It is thirty meters high from top to bottom.

On the top of the city wall, there are soldiers who defend the city in various places, holding soldiers and looking down.

Several horse-repellent guardrails were placed at the gates of the city.

There were as many as 12 soldiers checking the entrances and exits.

Pedestrians passing by trucks will be strictly checked.

The young man slowly entered the city with his package on his back, looking east and west from time to time, feeling quite curious about everything around him.

"Oh, tsk, the county seat is better than the town! That's great! The young man said to himself.

The soldiers at the gate did not react when they saw the young man's actions.

Presumably a hillbilly from some village has just come out to see the world.

and entered the city gates.

There are many vendors on both sides, which is more regular compared to Aries Town.

The streets are bustling and lively, and the flow of people is not less than that of a modern county town.

The young man was surprised when he saw this, and he speculated about "malice".

It is guessed that a family should have at least five children to achieve such a situation.

Each county seat in Thang Long is different from the modern county seat of Blue Star, although the number of villages and towns is slightly sparse in comparison, but there are more than 100 towns in one county.

Combined, it is far beyond Zhong Yuanxiu's cognition.

The first thing I did when I came to the county seat was not to buy anything, nor to come for sightseeing.

The first problem is to sell the folding mirror in your hand.

Now it's time to think about where to go to find a wrongdoer.

Hey! The young man smiled evilly, and the corners of his mouth hooked, as if he had thought of something.

A yellow-skinned, tattered beggar was sitting on the side of the street begging.

In the earthen bowl with a corner missing, only two copper plates lie quietly.

"Dangdang!"

The sound of copper coins smashing into the bowl sounded crisp and pleasant.

The beggar, who had been depressed from hunger for a moment, came back to his senses.

If you look closely, there are six more copper plates in the bowl.

The beggar quickly got up and suddenly knelt down again.

Kowtowed to the young man.

He kept saying thank you to the kind people.

The food money for these two days is settled!

"Don't, don't, I'm embarrassed to ask about you like this." The young man hurriedly held the beggar and stopped him from kowtowing.

When the beggar who stopped heard this, he answered: "Childe, you can ask casually, as long as it is known to me Wang Xian, I will know everything and say everything." ”

The young man couldn't help but nod when he saw that the beggar was so sensible.

He asked, "First, why are there more and more people begging in this city?"

Second, there is a wealthy son who has fallen in love with a certain girl and has never proposed marriage.

Third, where is the martial arts conference in Zhiyun County held? ”

The young man asked three questions in a row.

The beggar did not immediately reply, but pondered it for a moment.

replied: "Most of the begging people in the city are not natives of our Zhiyun County, it seems that they are from Zhuyang Province next door.

I heard that there was a war over there, and now there are many people who have entered the city at this point, and they have all come out to beg.

As for the rich sons in the city who have not yet been proposed, there are several.

The eldest son of Zhang Yuanwai, the eldest son of the owner of the Li Pavilion, and the eldest son of the county lord......

The martial arts tournament is held once every five years, and after five days, a martial arts contest is held in the middle of the main street at the eastern end of the city.

The three strongest warriors are elected to represent the county in the state capital competition. ”

"Where do those sons usually go?" The youth asked again.

Need to get a detailed answer, which is the most important thing for him to go out today.

"Zhang Gongzi likes to go to Yingyue Tower, and Li Gongzi usually doesn't go out......" The beggar told the young man everything he knew.

"Thank you, brother!" The young man took the beggar's hand, and he was not too dirty, and stuffed five copper plates in his hand to him.
