Next Chapter

Yangzhou in February is rainy and rainy.

The snow in Tiannan County has just melted, and the red stickers inside and outside the doors of each house still exude a faint fragrance of ink, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke from fireworks and firecrackers, leaving traces after the New Year.

The people of each household have not yet recovered from the joy of the new year, but there is news from Tai'an, Kyoto.

After a year's rest, the imperial court is about to move again.

The Great Zhou royal family invited the most outstanding genius in the Central Plains Continent in the past hundred years, a twenty-one-year-old general, Mo Jun.

What Jian Feng refers to is a Jianghu sect under the Great Zhou Imperial Land, Tianxin Sect.

But he said that the face of the general was like a champion, his lips were like smearing Zhu, his eyes were bright and his teeth were bright, and he was extremely handsome, like a woman. When he first entered the battle formation, he was ridiculed, and then he covered his face with a hideous ghost mask. ”

Under the overpass, a round table, a wooden chair, a ruler, a paper folding fan, a startling wooden pat, the storyteller told the story.

"Fifteen in the army, twenty in the army, a hundred battles of all sizes, without a single defeat, the soldiers are dangerous, and they are surprisingly victorious. In just five years, the eight kings were destroyed, and the world was leveled, and the time commented that "the genius of the heavens, the heroes of the world". The storyteller paused and smashed his mouth slightly, as if he was thinking about it, as if he was reminiscing, and as if he was giving the audience a closer look.

"Since then, Mo Jun has known that he has made great achievements, so he has been idle at home, not opening a mansion, not marrying a wealthy family, and hanging the empty position of a 'great general', not asking about the world. His Majesty the Emperor felt his virtue and gave him the title of 'Marquis in White', which means that the general is honest and honest, as if he was dressed in white. There are even rumors that His Majesty the Emperor intends to marry his favorite eldest princess to him......"

Mr. Storyteller was foaming at the mouth and blowing all over the sky, but the audience didn't seem to appreciate it: "Okay, Mr. Chen, it's been three months since you've been here, and your ears are calloused every day, can you say something else?"

Mr. Chen's old face turned red, and he smiled: "Okay, then let's talk about this Tianxin Sect......"

In the crowd, a young man smiled, quietly took a few steps back, and was about to turn away.

"Yo, Dr. Tan, it's such a coincidence, you also came here to listen to the story?" someone had sharp eyes and said hello.

"I happened to pass by, and it was interesting to hear, so I lingered for a while. Tan Hu showed his white teeth and said with a smile.

Yangzhou is located in the southeast of the Great Zhou Kingdom, in the basin where the Xixiu River and the Hanhai River meet, and is the most fertile place in the entire empire. And its main city, Tiannan County, is a rare capital city in the empire.

Since ancient times, the scholars in the Qingxiu environment have been literati, and in addition to the Jiangnan generation in the empire, Yangzhou is the most prosperous area for scholars, so it has also attracted many people of different races and foreign countries to move here. Over time, it has also injected a fierce atmosphere into this land that was originally civilized and light on martial arts.

Naturally, Yangzhou has also become the top priority of imperial culture, and the construction of major cities in the state is also similar to that of the Central Plains. And this prosperous place, its own prosperous atmosphere, in the major counties of Yangzhou, all walks of life, hundreds of schools of thought, one of the most prominent aspects, is the medical skills.

The "Rejuvenation Hall" medical hall is the most prestigious local medical hall, known as the benevolence of doctors, with medical skills to help all sentient beings, hanging pots to help the world.

Hua Yuan, who is known as the "medical saint", is the owner of this museum. A year ago, Hua Yuan was recruited into the palace to become the imperial physician, and his fame was shocking, and the Rejuvenation Hall also became famous, and there was an endless stream of people seeking jobs and seeking medical treatment.

In the end, the name of his top doctor was won by a young doctor named Tan Hu.

Tan Hu looked less than twenty years old, but he was extremely handsome. The lips are red and the teeth are white, the willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes are phoenix, the posture is outstanding, and the handsomeness is extraordinary. A year ago, he carried Hua Yuan's letter of recommendation and entered the hospital as Hua Yuan's personal disciple, and then relied on his extraordinary medical skills to solve many difficult diseases, and became a man of the year in Yangzhou with his outstanding appearance and temperament.

Other than that, no one knows Tan Hu's origins.

Whenever he talks about the past, Tan Hu always smiles mysteriously and perfunctory.

"Well, yes, it would be nice if I could always be as comfortable as this. It's just that there will be another war. When the man heard this, he said gloomily.

"War?" Tan Hu scratched his head and questioned, "At this scale, it's not a war." ”

"Doctor Tan, you are from the capital, and you don't seem to know much about this Tianxin Sect. The man sighed.

"If you don't know, if you know more, you will worry more, and if you worry, you will worry. ”

The man was dumbfounded, silent for a long time, and had to reluctantly return: "You are open-minded." ”

Tan Hu said goodbye to the man, narrowed his eyes, and raised his head slightly.

A weird smile raised slightly, Tianxin Sect, who doesn't know?

In this dynasty, there is a place called Jianghu.

There is no water in the rivers and lakes, but there are people.

All kinds of people, knights who fight with swords, devils who kill people, sects who live in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, and wealthy families in the world...... Although they are people from the rivers and lakes, they all have to look at the thin noodles of the imperial court. But everyone in the rivers and lakes is afraid of the court, and those who are not afraid have already lost their lives or died in the world.

However, there is one exception.

The Tianxin Sect is located in the three states of Dongfang Lei, Cheng and Yang, and its power is intertwined, occupying hundreds of mountains, and the local people, bandits, large and small sects, and even the government have to look at its face. The imperial court also had a headache, and sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but it did not work, but after the retreat, the local government was retaliated against, and some of the county lords also lost their lives, and those who were alive were afraid that they had already run away and could not find the edge.

Several state pastors were also annoyed, discussing countermeasures and thinking of solutions, but they were defeated repeatedly, and in the end, they were finally scared, and they gradually lost their arrogance in the past. On the contrary, the Tianxin Sect is in the name of "punishing evil and promoting good" and "robbing the rich and helping the poor", protecting the people everywhere, but whenever there are some unscrupulous and corrupt officials in their sphere of influence, they will soon have something to do.

So the people shouted "Lord Qingtian", and some people secretly erected an immortal monument for the sect master of Tianxin Sect. For a while, the atmosphere in Sanzhou was quite honest and honest, and the people secretly called Tianxin Sect "Earth Emperor" in private.

But in the eyes of the imperial court, this move was no different from a thief.

After a year's rest, the general is back.

This time Mo Jun went out of the mountain again, it really set off a wave, the military department was the first to boil, the soldiers who were not convinced by anyone on weekdays howled excitedly and shouted, "Finally I can fight under the general again", the girls in the capital who are fifteen or sixteen years old to be married, up to the old Xu Banniang who is still in her forties, dressed beautifully, holding a basket of flowers and fruits and vegetables, lined up from the city to the suburbs, just to see the style of the general.

There are even better people who do good things, shouting and fiddling with the dice, shouting, "Buy and leave, who wins and who loses between the general and the Tianxin Sect?" The storyteller had already made up the story, set up the tables and chairs, and shook his head to outline the heroic posture of the general to defeat the enemy and cheat a few small money.

At this time, it was early spring and February, and there were a large number of students who entered Beijing to take the exam, and no one wanted to encounter war at such a fateful moment, and some people were happy and some were sad for a while. The children of the rich family are both land and water, riding horses and ferries, and enjoying the mountains and rivers all the way, but the poor students can only walk into Beijing, or hitchhike, and go around all the way, and they have to silently recite in their hearts "The heavens will descend on the people" to comfort themselves.

And this battle, the first to bear the brunt, is Yangzhou.

Today's weather is gloomy and there is a hint of rain.

Tan Hu looked at the three men in front of him with a bitter face.

The person who was the first to live was tall and dark-skinned, and he was staring at a pair of bull's eyes at the moment, looking at Tan Hu carefully. The two behind him were quite similar, and they didn't speak much, but they were also gentle.

"Are you Tan Hu?" The big black man scratched his head, turned to the two behind him and questioned: "This little white face looks unreliable, is it really the best doctor in Yangzhou?"

Earlier, outside the Rejuvenation Hall, there was a loud shout, followed by a chaos, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, which was particularly harsh on the street.

I saw three fast horses leaping past the street, and the horsemen were very domineering, and the fast whip not only whipped the horses, but also drove away those who stood in the way, causing the people to look at them angrily. But the three of them were born with a tiger's back, a short brown back sword, and a refined dress, knowing that they were people in the rivers and lakes, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

As soon as the three of them came in, they wanted to find the best doctor, Tan Hu, and let him come out by name.

Tan Hu laughed secretly in his heart, but joked: "The three distinguished guests are not here to drink flower wine, what does it matter what they look like?"

When the big man heard this, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward and pulled Tan Hu, and threatened: "Okay, boy, go with Lao Tzu now, my eldest lady has been poisoned by a strange poison and is in danger." Go this time, if you are cured, you can ask for any reward, if you can't be cured......" The big man clenched his fists fiercely, and the meaning of his words was clear.

In the medical hall, everyone was angry, and some people were angry: "What is your attitude as a man!"

"Doctor Tan, this black guy is going to be bad for you, why do you want to go this way?"

"That's right, we can report to the official! Don't be afraid of this guy!"

The man was suddenly furious, and just about to have a seizure, Tan Hu gently patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, I'll go with you, as for the result...... Detoxification, which is under the long term. After that, he arched his hand to the crowd around him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, but I can't ignore this matter." ”

Seeing that Tan Hu agreed, Dahan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his tone slowed down a lot, but he didn't want to watch Tan Hu pretend here, so he snorted coldly and turned around and went out, without looking back: "Pack up your things immediately, I'll wait for you outside the door, quick!"

Tan Hu shook his head and sighed, and followed.
