Volume 1 Chapter 12 Excalibur Gate
After Chu Zhao separated from Lu Yu and Mu Rong's siblings, he continued to march towards Anzhou at the fastest speed, and the wind and waves were calm along the way, although he encountered a few fights, but they were all battles of will, and Chu Zhao was completely lively.
A few days later, Chu Zhao dragged his tired body into Jinhua City.
Jinhua City is close to the border of Anzhou, is the county seat of Chunfeng County, Huaizhou, from this place, Chu Zhao plans to take the waterway, which is much easier than driving a horse, the most important thing is to recuperate, he needs to adjust his state to the peak before entering the territory of Anzhou, because after entering Anzhou, he may encounter an "enemy" at any time, and he needs to be ready to fight at all times.
There is a Lanjiang River outside Jinhua City, which flows through the land of Sizhou and is an important waterway for north-south trade.
Although Jinhua City is not the capital of Huaizhou, it is the most prosperous city in Huaizhou because it is located in the north-south transportation area, and the whole city is mixed with all kinds of businessmen and travelers, and even travelers from foreign countries.
Chu Zhao walked on the street from time to time to see blond and blue-eyed foreigners, the locals used to call them "golden hairers", and the locals were accustomed to these foreigners, and it was not strange to see them.
After entering the city, the streets are bustling, the traffic is busy, and the high-rise buildings on the side of the streets are numerous, and they are extremely prosperous.
Chu Zhao also passed through several big cities along the way, but it was a whole grade worse than Jinhua City.
Walking on the street, Chu Zhao bought some daily necessities, but he keenly noticed that someone was peeping at him in the dark, which made him wonder.
Could it be that the people of the Mu family are looking for revenge?
Mu Rong's sister and brother's family infighting, he helped Mu Rong's sister and brother naturally offend the forces on the other side, but after so long, do you still hate yourself?
Chu Zhao took the things handed over by the merchant, and shook his head after handing over the money, don't think nonsense, as the saying goes, a good soldier will block the water and cover the earth, if the Mu family wants to settle accounts with themselves, just come, and continue.
Chu Zhao did not shy away from walking on the street, and after an hour, he found a place called "Yuelai Inn" to stay.
When Chu Zhao stayed at the Yuelai Inn, the man who had been secretly following Chu Zhao turned around and left, walking in a hurry.
Chu Zhao didn't pay attention to the tracking at all, and after arriving at the inn and asking for a room, he sat down at the window on the second floor and ordered some food.
Yuelai Inn is not big, but it is a four-story restaurant, but the location is excellent, located in the city of Yingyue Lake, sitting on the second floor can be the whole view of Moon Lake.
Yingyue Lake is a scenic spot in Jinhua City, and there is a local saying that "you must visit the moon when you enter Jinhua", which is Yingyue Lake.
Yingyue Lake is actually a tributary of the Lanjiang River that flows into the city, forming a lake, the reason why this place is called Yingyue Lake is because on the full day of the fifteenth moon of each month, the lake will reflect the full moon in the sky, the whole lake is like the bright moon, at this time, whether it is the businessmen and the common people or the official eunuchs and gentry all like to take a boat to swim in the lake, as if boating on the moon.
Now there are only a few days left until the full moon night of the fifteenth day of each month, but it is a pity that Chu Zhao does not have the leisure and elegance and time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of "the lake is like a full moon".
Chu Zhao asked for a pound of wine to drink comfortably, today he wants to have a good rest for a day, to get rid of the dust and fatigue on his body.
But unfortunately, it didn't take long for four or five young men with good looks to appear on the street, all of them standing tall, carrying long swords, walking with dragons and tigers, and their momentum was extraordinary.
A group of young people stared at the Yuelai Inn from a distance, Chu Zhao happened to take a look at the other party because he was close to the window, the young man looked at Chu Zhao with a shocked expression, his steps accelerated, Chu Zhao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he found that the other party was coming for himself.
They are not from the Mu family.
Chu Zhao watched the five of them rush towards the Yuelai Inn and came to a conclusion in his heart.
At first glance, the five of them were descendants of the Great Sect.
After a while, footsteps sounded downstairs in the inn, and the five people went upstairs with their swords and went straight to Chu Zhao, and when they got closer, a young man with a Chinese face and a heroic appearance hugged his fists and said: "Your Excellency is Chu Zhao, the first disciple of Qingshan Temple?"
Chu Zhao was puzzled when he heard this, but he also got up and returned the salute.
"In the next place, I don't know what advice a few brothers have?"
Seeing Chu Zhao's admission, the five of them had a bit of respect in their eyes, and the man with a national character face introduced: "In the Lower Divine Sword Gate Lu Wei, behind him is his own junior brother. ”
"Lu Mou began to practice swordsmanship, and he has heard the admiration of the elders for the Sword Saint, and he has been fascinated for a long time, and recently learned that Brother Chu went down the mountain to practice, and he did not dare to miss such a good opportunity, hoping to be able to understand Brother Chu's high moves, and hope that Brother Chu will give him one or two points and sharpen his sword. ”
Come to the competition?
There was no fanfare about my descent from the mountain, how did he know about it? And it seems to have spread?
Could it be that Lu Yu revealed it?
Although Chu Zhao was puzzled, he didn't take it too seriously, there is no unventilated wall in this world, especially with a special identity like him, it must be particularly attention-grabbing.
Divine Sword Sect, this sect, Chu Zhao knows.
The name of the Divine Sword Sect should be a very powerful sect, but in fact it is just a second-rate sect, and its founding ancestor has a resounding name - "Little Sword God", so the sect is called the Divine Sword Sect.
This little sword god has nothing to do with the famous "South China Sea Sword God" in the cultivation world, but because when he was in Huaizhou, his swordsmanship was indeed brilliant and unique, and it was difficult to meet opponents, and over time, some people called him "Little Sword God", and slowly this name started in Huaizhou, but in fact, for the entire cultivation world, this is just a joke.
A sword cultivator who has never been among the Seven Realms in his life dares to call him a "Little Sword God"?
Chu Zhao saw through Lu Wei's true thoughts at a glance, and looked polite, but in fact he just wanted to step on his own sword saint to make a name for himself.
Even if Lu Wei's aura at the peak of the Five Realms was deliberately concealed, he still couldn't hide it from Chu Zhao.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, no matter how good a person is, the eyes will never deceive people.
Lu Wei's eyes flashed with a strong desire to win.
Chu Zhao spent most of his life in Qingshanguan, and he had little contact with outsiders, but in his previous life, he had seen too much warmth and dirty faces.
In fact, he expected this kind of thing when he went down the mountain, and the matter of the Sword Saint's experience of going down the mountain would definitely not be hidden for too long, in fact, he did not deliberately hide it, sooner or later someone would challenge him, some in order to make a name for himself, and there must be those who sincerely sharpened their kendo, but the one in front of him, the intuitive judgment is definitely the former.
In the face of the challenge, Chu Zhao gladly accepted it, although the main purpose of this trip down the mountain to investigate the Anzhou assassins was to be able to learn from kendo masters along the way and increase their actual combat experience.
"It turned out to be a master disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, and I have long heard of the Divine Sword Sect, and its 'Luoying Thirteen Swords' is also a rare first-class swordsmanship, and it is really an honor to be able to learn from Brother Lu. ”
