Chapter 373: The March Period (Part II)
Chapter 373: The March Period (Part II)
However, just when Yi Xifeng and his companions were immersed in cultivation, Yinren Town ushered in an uninvited guest.
This person was dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, followed by four or five entourages, saying that it was not like a son, saying that it was a scholar who rushed to the national capital to prepare for the scientific examination, and there was no such a big battle.
But just such a handful of people, less than ten people, followed the caravan into Tiexin Village.
The current Tiexin Village is different from before, but the biggest difference is the belonging, although the name of the Tiexin Village has not changed, but it is no longer an independent force, but belongs to Yinren Town.
Looking at the outer city wall of Tiexin Village, the young man dressed as a scholar smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that although this village is small, it is indeed complete! Although the craftsmanship is very ordinary, it is still somewhat useful to defend against the beast tide. But ......"
At this, the young man paused, but then shook his head and walked towards the pass with a smile.
"Does the prince have a letter?" The soldier standing at the gate of the city was a strong man who was engaged in dressing up. Speaking in detail, they are also natives of Tiexin Village, but after Tiexin Village was merged into Yinren that day, all kinds of local armed forces were also wiped out by Zhao Yuntian, and the manpower absorbed by Tonghua naturally did not let go.
But in the eyes of the man, it doesn't matter. Not to mention that this Yinren Town has a lot of reputation than Helian Tiexin's old man who has a conscience.
The scholar smiled slightly and handed out a pamphlet.
The man took it and opened it, and after two breaths, he closed it again and handed it back to the other party.
"Dare to ask Hai Gongzi, what are you doing in my Tiexin Village this time?"
This sea boy smiled and said slowly: "I have a distant relative here, and I came here to visit, but I don't know if he moved away?"
The strong man said with a smile: "This talented master, this is not certain, our Tiexin Village has changed a lot recently, and it is very likely that your relative will move away!"
Speaking of this, the man also realized that he had said too much, so he didn't say anything more, just a vigorous toothless flower.
The scholar smiled slightly, took out a few copper coins from between his sleeves, and handed them over very vaguely.
"Thank you, little brother, if it's okay, I'll go in first, if there's anything I don't understand in the future, I'll come to you!"
When Zhuang Ding saw that the other party actually gave silver, he naturally agreed with a smile on his face. And he also secretly pondered in his heart: I didn't expect this random stubble to have this benefit? No, I will talk more in the future!
The strong man, who thought he had found a way to make money, quickly released the young scholar into Tiexin Village.
But it didn't take long for the young man to turn back again. When he came to the strong man, he bowed his hand slightly.
And this strong man was also a little puzzled, why did the other party come back so soon when he had just entered the city? Could he really let himself be right, his distant relatives were not there?
"Eh, I said Master Xiucai, didn't you go to find your distant relative?"
The young scholar smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, as the eldest brother said, they are no longer in Tiexin Village." ”
Zhuang Ding grinned and said, "Let me say, this kind of thing is also a common thing! The more you don't want to encounter any situation, the more you will encounter something!"
The scholar smiled, nodded slightly, and then raised his hand unscrupulously to hand it over, and it was actually a silver ingot!
The strong man guarding the door was stunned for a moment, then looked around, reached out and held the scholar's outstretched hand, and said in a low voice: "What does Childe mean by this?"
The young scholar didn't expect that the other party would reach out to shake hands with him, he frowned slightly, but he calmed down in an instant, and said with a smile: "I just want to inquire about the changes that the eldest brother said before, so that I can also have clues and go to my distant relative, right?"
As soon as the strong man shook the palm of the young scholar, he only felt soft and boneless, and sighed in his heart: This group of soft-footed shrimp who dance and write all day long is really soft all over the body, a big man, the palm is so soft! It is softer than the woman in the enclosure......!
The so-called waizi refers to secret prostitution. After all, after Tiexin Village was attached to Yinren Town, it banned all Fengyue places. This made a large number of prostitute women who had been left behind during the reign of Helian have no way to make a living.
Some of them found someone to marry, while the other part was not so lucky, and in order to survive, they started to become secret prostitutes. The people of Tiexin Village called the place where they gathered "weizi".
"My Xiucai master, you are looking for me Zhong Er, but you can be regarded as asking someone. Come on, come on, you and I hit it off at first sight, it's almost winter weather, let's go to the side of the wine shop to have a glass of wine first!"
As he spoke, the strong man said hello to the three strong men who were on duty with him, and led the young scholar to the wine shop not far away.
The liquor shop was an open-air shed with a dozen tables underneath, and people were sitting in and out of the city.
Generally, many caravans transporting goods like to rest here, after all, after some inspection, it is also a very tiring thing.
The shopkeeper obviously knows this man in a cloak and hat, and this Zhong Er must also be a frequent customer here.
"Hey, hey, what kind of wind blew our second master, you here? Quick, come inside, please take a seat!" The shopkeeper welcomed the two of them in very warmly, and the four or five entourages behind the scholar did not follow.
Soon, under the leadership of this Xiao Er, the two sat down one after another, and Zhong Er let go of the young man's hand.
"Brother, what you want to inquire about, in fact, the entire Tiexin Village knows. But if you want to understand the details of this, few people in the entire Tiexin Village know it! But brother, you are lucky to have met me Zhong Er! Hehe, we happen to be one of the few people who know the truth. The man smirked.
The young scholar, looking at the dirty table, it is estimated that it has not been changed for some years, he didn't have the wine glass in his hand, but asked with a smile: "Please tell me more." ”
After all, the other party made money, and it was still a piece of silver! When he took it just now, he also deliberately checked it, and it had to be at least ten taels. You must know that even if the price of goods in Tiexin Village is a little high during this time, this money is enough for him to buy a cow, and the salary of Zhuang Ding for a month is only more than ten taels of silver.
Zhong Er is naturally enthusiastic about the big customer in front of him, and the battle between Tiexin Village and Yinren Village is also wonderful. Not to mention that the man really has some potential to tell a story, and he sprinkled it for more than half an hour, but he didn't even say anything!
"Guess what? Chang Luchun, the three masters of Helian Castle, died on the border between the two sides like this! Tsk, that's a famous martial artist in the rivers and lakes! People give the chivalrous name 'Iron Hammer'!" Zhong Er said that the spit frothed everywhere, and unconsciously there were many people around him.
Hear the wonderful and applaud!62
The young scholar's face became a little ugly, he didn't expect the person in front of him to be able to speak like this, and after talking for nearly half an hour, he actually talked about the battle between the two sides on the border, and eighty percent of them were also speculated by this person, or listened to the speculation of others.
"Even so, it won't be impossible to hold it for three days?Tiexin Village is one of the forces of the Six Directions after all, how can it be so vulnerable?" the scholar asked suspiciously.
Zhong Er smiled, as if waiting for the other party to ask this question, he picked up the wine glass and was about to take a sip to moisten his throat, but when he picked it up, he found that the wine in the wine glass had already been drunk.
The young scholar handed over his glass of wine and said in a deep voice: "I don't drink, and I haven't moved, you can drink!"
Hearing this, the man was naturally not polite, originally he invited this meal, since the other party didn't drink wine or eat food, naturally he couldn't waste it.
"Shhh...... Brother can be regarded as asking the point, the main reason why he can be so quick is that this Shui Yuntian, oh, no, it should be called Zhao Yuntian, Lord Zhao!" he said as he solemnly arched his hand to the side.
Obviously, this Zhong Er admires this Lord Zhao very much.
"Oh, who is this Lord Zhao?" asked the young scholar suspiciously.
"Who is Lord Zhao, at first everyone in Tiexin Village didn't know, he was actually from Yinren Village, but Lord Zhao had great magical powers and lurked in Tiexin Village for more than 30 years. Before the incident, Lord Zhao was already the first person in real power in the entire Tiexin Village! It can be said that under one person, above ten thousand!"
As soon as these words came out, the young scholar couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Er asked with some confusion, "What does my brother think is funny?"
The scholar got up, waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I will say goodbye!" After that, regardless of the man who was stunned on the spot, he walked out of the wine shop by himself.
Zhong Er saw him leave suddenly, and he was stunned for a while, and when he reacted and looked back, the young man dressed as a scholar had disappeared without a trace.
"Second Master Zhong, the beef you want is ready!" Xiao Er walked over with a smile on his face, holding a large plate of beef in his hand, obviously coming to deliver the food.
Zhong Er, who was wearing a hat in a robe, nodded and muttered, "It's okay to go, I'll eat these good dishes myself!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a chopstick rotten beef into his mouth, the soup was strong, the meat was tender and not old, and the boss obviously added his own secret recipe.
"Boss, this beef is well done! What is the ingredient added?" the man said vaguely.
"Hehe, it's rare for the second master to come here, of course, the beef is good, but it's nothing, just add some hawthorn and milk!" said the shopkeeper standing at the counter not far away.
When Zhong Er heard this, he just buried his head in eating, and the shopkeeper on the side saw this, after all, they were all acquaintances and wanted to talk more.
"Why is the second master interested in coming to me to eat today?"
"Oh, uh-huh, isn't it to see a friend!" Zhong Er said vaguely, he naturally wouldn't admit that the young scholar was actually just met by himself, and it was for the sake of money that he came here to eat and drink.
The shopkeeper frowned and asked, "Friend, why don't you wait for him to come and eat and drink together?"
The wine glass that the man picked up paused slightly, turned his head and smiled: "You second brother, just use words to bluff me! Didn't my friend just leave?"
The shopkeeper blinked, turned around and whispered a few words to Xiao Er, who was busy next to him, turned his head and smiled: "I also said that I was bluffing you, you ask Xiao Er, you have been a person from before to now!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Er's face changed slightly, he glanced at the table next to him, and asked pretending to have nothing to do: "Hmph, you old man! This brother, tell me, can you see the person opposite me just now?"
Sitting opposite him were two bearded men, who looked like first-class guards dressed as running merchants, the two looked at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Since just now, you have been here alone, talking about the hidden affairs of this Tiexin Village and Yinren Village, I first came here, and I thought it was the storyteller invited by this wine shop!"
Hearing the words of these two people, Zhong Er looked at the shopkeeper and Xiao Er's expressions on the side, and realized that this matter was strange! He suddenly fell from the stool and sat on the ground, startling the surrounding drinkers.
The man knelt on the ground, his face was extremely pale, he kowtowed, and said in pieces: "Little Zhong Er has no eyes, I don't know which way to provoke the immortals! spare your life...... Spare your life!"
............ Dividing line ............
To say that this young scholar is a monster immortal? In fact, it is not true, he is just a martial artist, if you want to say it in detail, he is a strong man in the chivalrous realm.
This person was the one who received the holy decree of Luo Yunguo and came from Yunxi County thousands of miles away - Helian Haixin.
He strolled through the streets of Tiexin Village while wiping his hands with a handkerchief. And his mind was on what he had seen and felt in these days.
I have to say, this Yinren Town is really amazing!
Before coming here, Helian Haixin had never taken Fallen Leaf County in his eyes, you must know that among the four counties of Luoyun Country, Fallen Leaf County is recognized as the bottom.
After all, it was only established for about fifty years, and for a long time, it was a reckless land. The people of the county who live here can't even guarantee that they will be able to save their lives in the mouths of the beasts!
If it weren't for the fact that decades ago, that powerful man went deep into the Ten Thousand Miles Forest Sea and entered the Ten Thousand Beast Country again. He single-handedly hammered those beasts who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and it was difficult for Fallen Leaf County to develop until now.
On top of today's rivers and lakes, those who have entered the Nine Layers Realm and above are already beyond the worldly existence.
And this kind of unearthly state is also what Helian Tiexin has always longed for!
The pedestrians around seemed to regard the young scholar as nothing, as if there was no such person walking in front of them at all.
This is exactly the characteristic of Helian Haixin's exercises-"hidden heart". Just now in the wine shop, he sat and drank with Zhong Er, and the surrounding diners or Xiao Er did not find any trace of him.
It sounds like this "hidden heart" characteristic is a bit against the sky, in fact, its principle is very simple, and the principle of mirage is very similar.
It is by using the water vapor in the air to form an extremely thin crystal layer, and by changing the refractive index of the crystal, the scenery behind Helian Haixin's heart can directly enter other people's eyes after passing through the crystal, and it will not be able to form an effective light block, and others will naturally not be aware of its existence......
Of course, this "hidden heart" characteristic will also deal with a martial artist who is not strong, if the opponent is a martial arts powerhouse who has mastered the internal strength, this characteristic similar to the trick will have little impact on it.
However, this feature also has other benefits, such as a good help in the case of covert assassinations!
