On the country road in Yuzhou, Shen Jinan looked up at the still gray sky, it has been like this for two or three days, I am afraid that there will be a light rain tonight.

But judging by the speed of the carriage, I am afraid that tonight will be the rhythm of spending another night in the fields.

Although the chivalrous girl Lu Jiangnan was quite dissatisfied with the current driving speed, she couldn't help Shen Jin'an's "hard persuasion"

"Anyway, I don't lose that thing, what's the difference between a day earlier and a day later."

"The meaning of life is not only revenge, but also a happy life is the most important thing."

Shen Jin'an was like a leech sucking blood, constantly "comforting" Lu Jiangnan, Lu Jiangnan originally wanted to act alone, but he still couldn't stand Shen Jin'an's stalking, so he also closed his eyes all day long, and simply came out of sight and out of mind.

Xiao Wuzi drove in front of him and never said much. I only wait until I eat every day to find some food, and it is my duty to catch a few fish near a current and a few wild animals near a wood.

The most blessed is Shen Jin'an, who either eats and sleeps every day, or sits in the carriage to read, but his physique is superior, and he is not fat no matter how he eats. I don't know how many little ladies should be envious.

Shen Jin'an looked at some martial arts introductory books that Xiao Wuzi bought from a small town and asked softly, "Lu Nuxia, what kind of strength are those masters you talked about that day, give me a little more detailed explanation." ”

Lu Jiangnan was full of love for Shen Jin'an's words, and he didn't even raise his eyelids a little.

Shen Jin'an also knew that he was a little bored, but he still stalked and said: "You are a good woman, but you feel a little less taste on your body." “

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go." Lu Jiangnan said slowly after hearing this.

Although his lips opened slightly, Lu Jiangnan's eyelids didn't even lift.

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are happy and hateful, drinking and eating meat, and dividing gold and silver. Look at you again, everywhere you look down on people, to say that it sounds good, it is the appearance of a fairy, to say that it is ugly, it is that the little widow is in the sedan chair, and she is shy when she shouldn't be shy. Shen Jinan said with a philistine look.

Lu Jiangnan seemed to have guessed that Shen Jin'an couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, and he didn't answer anything, so he kept silent.

"If you don't know your son, you may think that you don't even need to be respectful." The more Shen Jinan talked, the more scoundrel he became.

"If you want to ask something, just ask directly, and be quiet for a while when you're done." Lu Jiangnan said softly.

Shen Jin'an saw the success of his rogue tactics, and immediately flattered: "Look at it, I'll just say that our Lu Nuxia has the best heart and the best conscience, Xiao Wuzi, do you say it." ”

After thinking for a while, Lu Jiangnan said slowly: "I haven't seen those real masters, but I've heard some rumors that my master once taught me. We don't need to talk about Du Taibai of overseas Xianshan in detail, he can be said to be recognized as the first in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. The rest of the famous masters have their own characteristics. Lin Tianwen, a generation of sword immortals, was once a burial sword master in the Tibetan Sword Villa, just because he sat in the sword mound of the Tibetan Sword Villa all the year round, he accidentally realized the art of the sword, and forced his way down the mountain in the 118th sword formation of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and his whereabouts were later unknown. Zhang Fang in the small sage village relied on Confucian knowledge, at the age of sixteen he first entered the realm, and often played against himself, and was later called the three masters by the Confucian children, the overlord of the chess world. “

"The terrain you just mentioned is a little familiar, you have talked to me in detail, haven't you?" Shen Jinan suddenly thought of something: "At that time, I was a little unclear, obviously it sounded similar, would it really be that powerful?" ”

"The five realms of the human level are refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, refining voids and combining the Dao, and the Tao and the law are unified. To put it simply, people who practice martial arts will reach the peak of their spirit and spirit, and then they can reach the land and unite knowledge and action. Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts will be able to have a very intuitive feeling of many things that happen in the world when they reach the ground, and the body and breath of people who practice martial arts can achieve changes that affect others or things, as for the highest heavenly realm, I have told you in detail, if you forget it, then you can only count yourself as deserved. Lu Jiangnan was silent after saying in one breath.

"To what extent has Tang Wuxin, who was trapped in the cave, cultivated? He's a blind man, and his eyes are dark, and he won't fall into the ditch when he goes back. Shen Jin'an said with some concern.

"I think it should be a realm master, and there are few masters in the world who can fly sand and rocks between gestures. Otherwise, Huayang, a country that would have been called martial arts, would have been called martial arts. Lu Jiangnan affirmed.

"That's right, Shen Yue hasn't touched a sword much in his life, and he has recovered a lot of cities." Shen Jin'an agreed with Lu Jiangnan's words and said: "When I get to a populated city, I want to take a look at it and buy a few books about martial arts secrets." ”

Lu Jiangnan sarcastically said: "People like you who can only study rouge gouache are also interested in these things? ”

Shen Jinan nodded and said: "That's natural, now this is the second time that my son has walked in the rivers and lakes, so I can't go anywhere and do nothing, not to mention the martial arts stories of those youthful years, my son is still very interested." “

Lu Jiangnan was also amused by Shen Jin'an's unprecedented ambition, and his sad face was also a little flat, and he couldn't help but smile: "Hehe." “

Shen Jin'an, who had just been a little positive, immediately changed his eyes, squinted and smiled: "Actually, it's not entirely because of this, I might as well tell you the truth, I really love several heroines on the rivers and lakes, once I finally found an inn where a heroine was, but found that she was practicing double cultivation." ”

A serious Lu Jiangnan suddenly had a somewhat unsightly picture in his mind, as a person in the rivers and lakes, Lu Jiangnan didn't know what double cultivation meant, if Shen Jin'an really saw the scene of Shuangxiu, it would definitely not be an open-minded look, I am afraid it should be seen over the wall or through the window.

Shen Jin'an said with a smile: "My son has already decided, if you want to learn martial arts, you must learn martial arts." ”

Lu Jiangnan shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid that I can't stop it, I'm afraid that the philistines will learn martial arts." ”

Out of Yuzhou, the next stop is Yongzhou.

Although Yongzhou borders Yuzhou, the geographical environment is completely different.

The raindrops that fell on the black pressure sky still couldn't bear the intersection, and the black pressure fell together.

This storm was earlier than Shen Jin'an expected, and the reins in the hands of the little five sons who were driving in front couldn't help but be a little faster.

Yongzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side.

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. If you go west to Xishu, it will be a few days faster to take the water route than to take the land route.

The water of the river is not as gentle as the stream, and it takes just the right time to leave the boat, and if you catch the turbulent current, not only will it be counterproductive in terms of time, but even safety will not be guaranteed.

That's why Shen Jin'an will stop and go all the way, so that when the clouds are cleared, he will be able to get on the passenger ship going west.

The only fly in the ointment is that this heavy rain has made Shen Jin'an's planned itinerary a little more difficult.

Yingchuan County, on the back side of Yongzhou, not only is the city gate closed, but even the number of merchants coming and going is less than half.

"Childe, I went over to inquire just now, and the city gate was indeed closed, not only us, but also those convoys coming and going from the north to the south were all stopped." Xiao Wuzi said softly.

"Oh? This is a bit new, what kind of city gates are closed for no reason? Shen Jinan muttered to himself.

"I heard that the armor guarding the city said that there would be a big official in Yingchuan County tomorrow, and he said that he would come to assess the officials, so Yingchuan County ordered early that he was not allowed to enter and leave at night." Xiao Wuzi truthfully reported the results of his investigation.

After hearing Xiao Wuzi's words, Shen Jin'an thought for a while, he had already heard of this kind of thing in Fengyang County, unlike Enke, who was prepared every three years, the Huayang Dynasty allowed the senior members of the court to recommend talents in one fell swoop every year.

Recommending talents to the imperial court is a kung fu on the surface, and acquiescing to the uneasiness of those big families is the real purpose of the Huayang Dynasty.

The Huayang Dynasty originally relied on those big families to start their business, but if there was only one way to Enke, I am afraid that the descendants of those big families would rarely be able to enter the temple, not only to want the people of the world to be sure and the students to feel at ease, but also to let those families who provided rice and money for the country not feel that they were unloading the mill and killing the donkey, so the Huayang Dynasty had to use these ambiguous policies.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, and the original intention of the emperor was originally good, but he didn't expect that compassion gave rise to harm, and they all said that officials and officials protect each other, and now this set of recommended policies has become the fastest way for those who have no talent and no virtue to enter the officialdom.

Although they did not have much ink in their stomachs, they had a large amount of silver in their pockets, and they took out the silver and stacked it into a mountain, and then put it in the woman's house, and then pushed it in front of the recommending official.

Of course, Shen Jin'an usually doesn't take the small action of buying and selling officials to heart, because officialdom is the same as the people, since there are bright places, there will also be dark places.

But what Shen Jinan didn't expect was that these small actions that should have been sneaky were now put on the bright side.

"Then let's go into the city tomorrow." Shen Jin'an looked at Yingchuan County, where the city gate was closed, and said without smiling.
