Chapter 237: Rapidity
Located in the westernmost part of the land of Kyushu, Xizhou, formerly known as Liangzhou, is the most scarce state in terms of natural resources except for the former Dongshu and the current Beizhou.
But the people here, whether they are warriors or ordinary people, are better than the former Dongzhou people and the current Beizhou people.
All thanks to Qi Fengtang, the controller of Xizhou.
Unlike the martial arts sects and families in other states and counties, Qi Fengtang has always taken the people-friendly route of breathing and sharing the fate with ordinary people.
They are not like some of the martial arts families that Zhen Xiaomei has come into contact with, and the so-called benevolence is just a gorgeous cloak that hides their dirty and cruel inside.
Qi Fengtang is really helping ordinary people in Xizhou, and it has been a gang for hundreds of years.
Zhen Xiaomei admired and appreciated their approach, but the vast majority of martial artists in this world sneered and disdained.
Even many people called Qi Fengtang a fool sect behind their backs, saying that all the disciples of their entire sect were big fools with problems in their heads.
Of course, these people only dare to chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, they don't have the courage to go directly to the disciples of Qifengtang, or even the people of Xizhou.
After all, the "fool sect" in their mouths, the disciples they teach are brave and tough and not easy to bully. Even the ordinary people of Xizhou are not masters who are deeply afraid of warriors. They and the warriors of Qifengtang watched over each other and helped each other, and they were the eyes and ears of Qifengtang scattered all over Xizhou.
This also led to the fact that as soon as Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao inquired about Qi Fengtang, Qi Fengtang received frequent informants from the people under their rule.
Yin Huanyan, the hall master of Qifeng Hall, is a female martial artist with extremely high martial arts talent, she has a cheerful personality and loves to laugh very much, but at the same time, she is also decisive and shrewd.
If she has any weaknesses, it can only be said about her face control attributes.
According to Wei Lan, Yin Huanyan is the kind of typical "three views follow the facial features, as long as the villain looks good", as long as you look good, then no matter whether you are a man or a woman, or where you come from, you can get a certain degree of preferential treatment from Yin Huanyan.
Her second hobby, which extends from this, is that she likes cute and cute children very, very much. The orphans in Xizhou, one counts as one, and they are basically adopted by Qifengtang.
The treatment of these children in Qifengtang is even better than when they were in their own homes before, not only are they well-fed and comfortable, but they can also learn martial arts from the martial artists of Qifengtang, In this world where it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find a way out for themselves, it is not an exaggeration for them to say that they have ascended to the sky in one step.
They were especially grateful to Yin Huanyan for this, but Yin Huanyan herself completely confirmed her reputation as a "fool hall master".
Those martial artists who were not used to seeing Qi Feng Tang's various behaviors, because of Yin Huanyan's generosity to these children, felt more and more that the Qi Feng Tang people led by her really had a serious brain disease.
If it weren't for the comprehensive strength of Qi Fengtang there, and their style of scattering wealth boys, which directly led to Qi Fengtang being far poorer than other sects and families, those people would have thought of an excuse to capture Xizhou a long time ago.
But they didn't know that their dislike was actually not "letting Xizhou and Qifengtang go" as they imagined, but actually saving themselves.
In a special place like Xizhou, where not only there are many warriors, but ordinary people are also of the same heart as Qifengtang, those warriors who regard ordinary people as ants are afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the people of Xizhou as soon as they enter.
After all, even Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao, who came with good intentions, have lived a solid life of being monitored by ordinary people and making small reports.
At the beginning, when they realized that they were being watched by ordinary people, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao were very surprised.
You know, nowhere else would an ordinary person be bold enough to spy on a warrior. Not to mention that it's not just a few ordinary people in Western State who are like this, they are like this for the whole people.
Those eyes were everywhere, and it was reasonable to lock their eyes to them, so that they would not want to escape their attention unless they ran to a deserted place by themselves.
Zhen Xiaomei's rich experience of bad luck gave her a keen sense far beyond ordinary people, and she felt the other party's secret attention to herself and Yun Zhao almost as soon as she entered the boundary of Xizhou and saw the people of Xizhou.
As for Yun Zhao, he only realized that the two of them, a strong man at the level of a martial saint, were actually being targeted by the ordinary people in this town when the two of them entered the nearest town to find an inn to stay in.
The ordinary people who watched them were actually very experienced, and they used gestures, ciphers, words, etc., to convey messages, in order to avoid eavesdropping by the deaf and discerning warriors.
However, after all, they had no experience in dealing with martial saint-level martial artists, and the soundproof basement they thought was safe and painstakingly set up was actually not safe enough for Yun Zhao and Zhen Xiaomei.
As soon as the two of them were led to the upstairs room by the young man at the inn, Yun Zhao heard with his ears that in the basement of a private house two streets away, two ordinary people were whispering, and they wanted to report the matter of him and Zhen Xiaomei's inquiry about Qifengtang in the town to the Qifengtang disciples who were in charge of guarding this place as soon as possible.
To be honest, Yun Zhao was very shocked when he heard their words about the maintenance of Qi Fengtang and the defense of him and Zhen Xiaomei.
This is the first time that they have seen such a harmonious and intimate relationship between martial artists and ordinary people in the jurisdiction of other forces.
Zhen Xiaomei felt that it was amazing, and she was also a little more interested in Qi Fengtang and Yin Huanyan.
She planned to sit and wait for the people from Qi Fengtang to come to the door, but the people from Qi Fengtang did not go as she wished, because she had asked Qi Fengtang everywhere before and found her directly.
Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao wandered around the town for several days, eating and playing everywhere, until they ate all the delicious and fun things in the town and the surrounding area, and Zhen Xiaomei left with Yun Zhao with a regretful face.
When the residents of the town saw that they had inquired about their living conditions and how Qi Fengtang had treated them on the first day, they no longer showed any curiosity or spying on them and Qi Fengtang, and gradually believed what the person in charge of Qi Fengtang had placed here, they might just be curious, and there should be no ill will towards Qi Fengtang and Xizhou.
What these ordinary people don't know is that the person in charge of Qifeng Hall didn't really think that Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao were just curious about the situation in Xizhou, and the main purpose of what he said was actually to appease these ordinary people in the town, so as not to show hostility in front of Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao.
