Chapter Forty-Five: The Soldiers' Towns and the Hook Away from the Road

"The Yellow River in the west, the desert in the north, the Bauhinia Pass in the east, and the danger of Yanmen and Ningwu in the south. ”

This passage is talking about Hanping, an important town in Jizhou, in the north.

Now the world is in turmoil, years of war, Hanping, which originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, has been divided by the northern Hungarian and Qiang ethnic groups, firmly guarded, and confronted the Central Plains countries.

Now the Hungarian and Qiang ethnic groups have set up four commanders here, thirteen guards, 130,000 standard forces, 50,000 war horses, these armies are equipped with the unique snow wolf steel knife of the Hungarian and Qiang, the handle of the knife has a hideous wolf head, the blade is snow-white, tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, when the knife is drawn together, just the murderous aura and the cold light that bursts out in an instant, can shock people's hearts.

The Hun and Qiang tribes are heavily divided, but it is not like other places where there will be rogue invasions, counting, there has been no war here for 16 years, and 16 years of refugees, craftsmen, and merchants from all over the country have poured into here, but it has formed a prosperous scene of flowers and horses.

From the city gate to the hinterland of the town, it is the four-car bluestone avenue, at this time, one cart is four high-headed horses, and the four-car avenue is the avenue where sixteen horses go hand in hand at the same time.

A four-car avenue runs through the north and south, and there are countless small roads like spider webs connecting this important town in a radius of thousands of miles, and all kinds of businesses have set up shops here, and the candle shadow is red until late at night, and there is no cold.

If you have been here for many years, you may forget that there are wars going on outside, and countries are vying for hegemony, and you will also forget that a big war may break out here at any time.

It's late autumn, it's late autumn, and it's still the season of autumn in the south, but in this far north, the cold is getting heavier day by day.

The heavy layer of hoarfrost on the roof ridge in the early morning indicates that in some time, as long as there is enough moisture, it will be a heavy snowfall.

The big restaurant of this prosperous capital like an important town is located in the southeast of Zhiwei Building, Zhiwei Building is the industry of Wang Xingji, the largest business name in southern Jiangsu, covers an area of several acres in Hanping, divided into three before and after, just look at the gate of a pair of gluttonous stone carvings that are full of two people, the vermilion gate, shining copper nails, the door is brightly dressed, the middle period is full of family, you can see that Wang Xingji's financial resources, strength is also at its peak.

Wang Zhiwei is the owner of this Zhiwei Building, and he is also the general manager of Wang Xingji, a total of 17 shops of various colors in this important town.

The cold wind was bitter in the early morning of this day, and the cold wind blowing from the north could be heard blowing the sound of the dead grass on the house blowing in the house. ”

"Close the surrounding streets, all shops are not allowed to open today!"

"Who are these people, speaking so arrogantly and domineeringly?" Wang Zhiwei was a little stunned, quickly put on his fur robe, and pushed the window open.

The east of the city is the most prosperous and lively area, where you can set up stalls along the way, set up shops of the merchants, behind the support of important figures in the army, some of which are a lot of martial artists, Taoist masters sit in the town, when the time is responsible for escorting money and grain, picking up and dropping off goods along the post road. A large amount of silk, cloth, and rice grain in the south, and furs, spices, and other goods in the north were all circulated in this way.

"Who are you, just pass it, do you have four commanders' documents and decrees!"

Looking out of the window on the second floor, I saw nine big men standing at each end of the street.

These nine big men are all black soft armor, this black soft armor is made of something, far away like a piece of scales, shining with a faint blue-black light. This black soft armor covers the heads and faces of these big men, leaving only their eyes and two nostrils, which looks full of fierce and domineering momentum.

Looking closely, Wang Zhiwei saw that these big men were all carrying black sheathed swords, and the boots they wore under their feet turned out to be metallic-colored, and they seemed to be made of steel.

Wrapped in armor and carrying a sword, this has clearly violated the laws of the four commanders here!

"It's Mr. Zhang Da of Wei!"

Now standing on the street are two middle-aged men wearing dark blue luxurious robes, they can't see their faces from afar, but they can feel the arrogant and domineering atmosphere of the two of them, just now the words that closed the surrounding streets and made all shops not open, it was obviously what these two people said, and standing in front of the two people to question, was a man about forty years old wearing a goatskin hexagram, with a long beard, lean and capable, and a divine light in his eyes, and looked like a housekeeper.

Wang Zhiwei recognized that this person was the housekeeper of the Wei number opposite, Mr. Zhang Da.

Wei Zihao, is a merchant giant in the Heluo area, mainly engaged in pawnshops, medicinal materials business, financial resources, power even above Wang Xingji, although this Mr. Zhang is not amazing, but Wang Zhiqiu knows that he is an unfathomable master. Because a few years ago, Wang Zhiqiu saw Wei Zihao and a business called Hengsheng Ji arguing with each other, and they refused to give in to each other, and as a result, Mr. Zhang Da loaded a Hang Seng Ji with goods, and a carriage of hundreds of catties flew away. In recent years, Wang Zhiwei and the shopkeeper of Wei Zihao have also had a relationship, and they learned that this Mr. Zhang is also proficient in channel skills and knows a lot of ghosts and gods.

If it weren't for Wei Zihao and his own strength, otherwise he would never dare to jump out of the question alone when so many people wearing strange black armor blocked the streets at both ends.

"Well, it turned out to be a disciple of the Wangwu faction, no wonder he dared to come forward. ”

Wang Zhiwei couldn't see clearly, facing the two men in Chinese clothes who were facing Mr. Zhang Da, both of them had fair complexions, and their faces were faintly stealing ivory luster, hearing Mr. Zhang Da ask so sharply, a triangular eye on the left, a yin dove man with a hooked nose suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint burst out in his eyes, "But who we are, you don't care, hurry up and retreat, if you come out stronger, you will regret it." ”

was broken by a word, Mr. Zhang Da's heart trembled, but he has been picking up Wei goods on the road for more than 20 years, and he has seen countless battles in large and small battles, and he is also very powerful on the road within a radius of thousands of miles.

"You didn't even say where you came, so you told me to leave, which is a bit of a stretch," Mr. Zhang Da immediately straightened his waist and said coldly.

As far as the eyes of the two men in fancy clothes could see, they only saw some vendors and shops, still standing still, and an extremely cold smile appeared on their faces, "It seems that these people are all thinking of you, so good, just use you to make an example!"

The words of the two men in Chinese clothes were already murderous and very domineering, but before the words fell, a faint voice floated from afar, "There is too much nonsense, doesn't it make people laugh, just a disciple of the royal house, kill it." ”

Kill it!

Although this person's voice was quiet, what he said made Wang Zhiwei, who peeked through the crack in the window, feel cold.

Even the leading leaders here may not be able to say the words that control the power of life and death so easily.

As soon as the words fell, eighteen white rays of light were already twisted towards Mr. Zhang Da in the center of the street.

"Flying Sword!"

Mr. Zhang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave.

He could see that these black-armored men with swords on both sides of the blocked road must have extraordinary skills, but he didn't expect that these people were not ordinary martial artists in the world, but cultivators who cultivated flying swords!

All cultivators, unless they cultivate to the realm of the unity of heaven and man, even if they stand still, they will naturally reveal a certain amount of mana fluctuations on their bodies, but it was not until these people released their flying swords that Mr. Zhang Da felt strong mana fluctuations.

It was the scaly black soft armor on these people's bodies that hid all the previous mana fluctuations of these people!

"You are the ones who deviate from the Dao!" In the moment of lightning, Mr. Zhang Da remembered a sect in the Northland. The founder of this sect once killed a black-winged sea snake with a thousand years of cultivation in the North Sea, and took its flying wings and bones to refine a magic weapon Yin Scale Black Flag, which can release poisonous smoke and water mines, and used the skin of the black-winged sea snake to refine a batch of black armor, which can prevent knives and guns, avoid water and fire, and ordinary flying swords are difficult to hurt it, and another function is to allow cultivators to hide their own breath. Back then, Gouli Dao competed with a sect in the north, and a group of disciples wore these treasure armors, sneaked into the opponent's mountain gate, and took the opponent by surprise and won a big victory.

"I can't help myself!"

Mr. Zhang Da spoke up, and there was some implication of peace talks in his words, and he only conjured up a cyan cloth-like magic weapon first, and protected his body, but the two men in Chinese clothes did not answer at all, and snorted coldly.

As soon as the black flag was unfurled, the black air swept down the sky. "Yin Scale Black Flag!" Mr. Zhang Da didn't know that this magic weapon of the Hook Dao turned out to be two-sided, and seeing that these two people didn't answer, they directly sacrificed a powerful magic weapon, so he knew that today's things could not be good at all, so he turned his heart sideways at the moment, and threw out a golden talisman full of thunder patterns.

As soon as this golden light god thunder talisman was thrown, a thunderbolt in the air turned into a golden thunder light hand, startling all the already terrified traders in the entire street to prostrate on the ground.

The Wangwu faction majored in the rune method, this rune is the golden light god thunder talisman in the Wangwu rune method, it is one of the most powerful talismans in the Wangwu rune, Mr. Zhang Da also got it from the division commander, he can't refine it, it is one of the magic weapons at the bottom of the box, today I saw more than a dozen flying swords forming a formation, flying vertically and horizontally, and the black flag in front of him was menacing, Mr. Zhang Da only threw out the golden light god thunder talisman.

"Stabbing and stinging" a few times, but just as the golden light divine thunder exploded, two substantial black winged long snakes suddenly surged out of the two black flags, and these two hideous long snakes shook their bodies, and a large area of dark blue thunder light was cold, and it exploded the golden thunder light big hand.

"Oops! This black flag is so ruthless!"

It was only at this time that Mr. Zhang Da reacted, it turned out that the ancestor of the Hook Away Dao killed not one, but two, and the ancestor of the Hook Away Dao actually suppressed the thousand-year-old snake soul in the black flag, and the power of this Yin Scale Black Flag exploded in an instant, and it was still on the Golden Light God Thunder Talisman of his master's sect. The cultivator's fighting method is more dangerous than the sword fight of the warriors in the world, Mr. Zhang Da can't deal with it, and the person who has not deviated from the Tao is ruthless, and the golden light god thunder talisman is broken, and then release other magic weapons, but it is too late. This thought became the last thought in Mr. Zhang Da's mind.

As soon as the golden light disappeared and the black gas rolled, Mr. Zhang Da was stunned, and the cyan cloth-like magic weapon did not circulate, only revealing a few inches of gap, and the eighteen flying swords that kept circling and flying outside instantly pierced in.

Just a twist, Mr. Zhang Da, who was standing in the center of the street, was twisted into dozens of pieces of scattered meat, and the eighteen flying swords were burned, and Mr. Zhang Da, who was a little famous on the Northern Road, did not even leave a trace of the Yin Soul, that is, the form and spirit were destroyed!

When have mortals in the world ever seen such a dangerous and cruel fighting method!

For a while, before the two men in fancy clothes who displayed the black flag of yin scales spoke, they all shouted, and they walked cleanly, and a street that was originally bustling suddenly became extremely empty.

"Something big is going to happen!"

Wang Zhiwei, who was far away from Zhiwei upstairs, couldn't help trembling when he saw it, and after slowly closing the window, he calmed down and shouted continuously, "Prepare the horses! Prepare the car! Pack up the account books, the gold and silver are soft! Notify everyone in the southeast of the city and others, and all evacuate to the west of the city!"

The well-informed general of the great merchant had already seen that there was definitely a great calamity to happen here, and that even the army might not be able to intervene in the battle of the cultivators, let alone their merchants. Although there are still two streets in between the blocked streets, Wang Zhiwei does not feel safe.

In the west of the city, Wang Xingji also has an industry, and there is an army stationed nearby, which is the safest place in the city.

"Who are these cultivators who instantly decide people's lives and deaths, with such fanfare, are they going to deal with?"

The men of the big business were extremely efficient, and not long after Wang Zhiwei's order came out, all the luggage had been packed and stopped, and the carriage had been prepared, and such thoughts were circling in his mind, and when he boarded the carriage with some trepidation, Wang Zhiwei was stunned to see that there were dozens of figures, from all directions in the city, gathering towards the street with an astonishing degree.
