Coming out of the yamen, commonly known as the "Ship Division", Wu Jixing took people to another yamen, commonly known as the "Shenwu Division".

The full name of the Shenwu Division is the "Registration Office of Martial Arts Masters of the Great Xia Official's Government", which is not very set up, and is generally only available in big cities. For example, there are various capitals in Kyushu.

And the main job of this yamen is to register those who enter the city.

A lone traveler like Pan Long can register, but it doesn't hurt if he doesn't. But if dozens of people like Qionghua Pavilion gather in a crowd, they basically have to register.

It's not that Qionghua Pavilion is more dangerous than Pan Long, but that their group of people wear swords and swords in a flash, and they often even have strong bows and crossbows and even armor and other equipment.

If they take the initiative to register, it means that they are willing to abide by the law in the local area - at least they are willing to give the court a face, and they will not easily violate the laws of the country.

If it is in Guangling, Qionghua Pavilion does not need to be so careful, but people leave their hometowns, Haijiao City is not less than 10,000 miles away from Guangling, and all the social relations of Qionghua Pavilion have no effect here, so they can only be people with their tails between them.

The Shenwu Division is much more deserted than the Ship Division, and apart from the plaque hanging at the gate, there is not even a single door panel. When I entered the door, I couldn't see half of the servants, and it was as cold as a haunted house.

Wu Jixing frowned and asked, "Is this place right?"

"I guess that's right. Song Xiaoha said, "I asked several groups of people, and they all said that it was here. Among them, there are not only friends in the rivers and lakes, but also people sent by the government. You can't fool me together—and the plaque at the door, you've seen it, it's so old that it doesn't look like a fake. ”

"Our Guangling Shenwu Division is not so broken. Ding Lao hummed and said, "Not to mention the three big mansions inside and outside, there are a large number of young and strong young men practicing martial arts in it all day and night, and it is very lively!"

Song Xiaoha was also speechless, he himself felt that the situation here was not normal.

"Regardless of him, as long as the place is right!" Wu Jixing said coldly, "Everyone be careful, but remember not to show your weapons without my orders." ”

"Yes!"

The place of the Shenmu Division in Haijiao City is not very large, and when you go around the wall in the courtyard, you will see a main hall. There was a desk in front of the main hall, and a middle-aged man with a black beard wearing an official uniform and a grim expression was sitting behind the desk, looking at a file.

Facing Qionghua Pavilion and his party, he seemed to have not seen it at all.

Song Xiaoha laughed twice, and asked from afar: "May I ask this official, this place is the Shenwu Division?"

"Yes. The man put down the file and looked at them, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and suddenly an invisible pressure came to his face, making people feel as if their hearts were being pressed by some heavy object, and even breathing became difficult.

Wu Jixing frowned, raised his hand and slashed out of the void, only to hear a crackling sound in the air, there seemed to be a sound of a piece of hardwood being chopped, and the invisible pressure suddenly weakened a little. Although it is still heavy, at least it has made it difficult for the gangs with lower martial arts skills to breathe.

"This official, we are people from Guangling Qionghua Pavilion, and it is a law-abiding thing to register here to enter the city, why are you so unkind when we meet? Could it be that we have provoked you with something before?" Ding Lao's attitude is not as polite as Song Xiaoha, "If you have something to say, we are all rough people, and we will not beat around the bush." ”

The corners of the middle-aged black-bearded official's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a smiling expression, which looked a little hideous in the cold atmosphere.

"Rebels and thieves who violate the ban by force, you are living to provoke me!"

Wu Jixing frowned again and asked, "Your Excellency, is it a so-called soldier?"

In the Great Xia court, according to the attitude towards the masters of the rivers and lakes, there are roughly three factions.

The first faction believes that the Jianghu people are also ordinary people, and for these people with strong military force, Huairou should be the main thing. As long as they do not rebel, do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and do not occupy mountains as kings, they should recognize their legitimate rights and treat them as ordinary merchants.

The second faction believed that the Jianghu people had a strong military force and hindered the rule of the imperial court. But as the saying goes, there are no perfect things in the world, and some obstacles and difficulties are not necessarily bad. For these people in the rivers and lakes, we should use both a stick and a carrot in one hand to guide them to make choices that are beneficial to the country on major issues of right and wrong.

The third faction believed that supernatural force should be completely controlled by the imperial court, and that the Jianghu people were a source of instability and should be eliminated as much as possible.

Among the three factions, the representative of the first faction is the Shenji Battalion, the representative of the second faction is the Great Xia Emperor, and the representative of the third faction is some high-ranking officials of the Great Xia military.

And this third faction, in fact, has a lot of history and is a descendant of the "soldier family" among the hundreds of schools of thought in the past.

During the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought competed for power, and later Emperor Jiazi was born, and the soldiers, legalists and famous families successively put themselves under his command, Taoism and Buddhism were invisible, and Confucianism, Moism, Yin and Yang, farmers, miscellaneous, vertical and horizontal families and other families were exterminated.

The situation of the three schools that invested in the Great Xia court was different: the Legalists later committed suicide because of the collapse of their ideas, and even the great masters of the sect, Lanling, did not know what to do, and almost perished; the famous scholars concentrated on academic research and gradually became pure scholars; the military families relied on the military to form their own factions, emphasizing absolute loyalty and force, and were keen to destroy everything that might threaten the country.

The influence of the soldiers in the interior of Great Xia is relatively small, but the influence in the North and South China Sea is much greater—after all, these two places can be regarded as the "border war zones" of Great Xia, and most of the warlike military masters are concentrated here.

Historically, soldiers have tried to organize mass killings against rivers and lakes, but each time they have failed. This made their strength seriously damaged, and also made them a thorn in the side of the masters of the rivers and lakes, but it made them gain the trust of the Great Xia Emperor.

If you are an ordinary Jianghu person, you probably won't know that there is such a faction in the officialdom, but Wu Jixing was born in the Qionglou faction, and the history of this sect is even longer than that of Great Xia, so naturally there are records about the soldiers.

was drunk by Wu Jixing, and the middle-aged black-bearded official raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Although there are not many people in the Qionglou faction, they really know a lot of things!"

"Although my Qionglou faction is a small faction, its history is not short. Wu Jixing smiled slightly and said, "Back then, our ancestors, Fairy Qionghua and Chonglou Swordsman, also dealt with the seniors of the military family—it's just that you may not like to read as much as I do, and you don't know these past things." ”

The official's face darkened slightly, and he said: "The Qionglou faction has refused to keep to itself all these years, and on the one hand, it has sent its henchmen to stir up trouble in Yangzhou, and on the other hand, it has fabricated rumors among the people that a murderous star has come to the world.

His words were murderous, and the gangs of Qionghua Pavilion were startled, and many of them subconsciously wanted to draw their swords.

But before they could pull their hands on the hilt, they felt a soft force fall, and they held down their knives and couldn't pull them out.

Then, a voice sighed: "My Qionglou faction has honestly paid taxes for more than a thousand years, and it can be regarded as a good resume, although Your Excellency is strong in martial arts, but he is just a sesame official in this South China Sea, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at us?"

With this voice, Sun Qiongyu walked in.

This "Qionglou Jade Fairy", who is obviously a little old and no longer has the charm of the past, has a smile on his face, and said lightly: "The laws of Daxia pay attention to territorial management, unless my Qionglou faction has committed acts such as robbing houses, killing people and setting fire in the South China Sea, no matter what we have done in Yangzhou, it is the local Yangzhou and even the Yamen of Guangling City, what does it matter to you?"

She smiled gently and calmly, but her tone was very mean: "I have always heard that the people of the military family are very particular about military orders, and attach the most importance to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, how come they don't take the laws of Daxia in their eyes when they go to the South China Sea?

The official was pierced by her, and took two deep breaths, but he didn't say anything, just a gesture of his hand, and a book flew next to him, which automatically expanded, and then he lifted his pen, dipped it in ink, and said coldly: "How many people are here? What are their names? Where are they from? What school of teachers do you inherit? Where did you do in the past? What do you want to do when you come to Cape City? Report it quickly!"

Wu Jixing smiled slightly and patted Ding Lao Hum on the shoulder, so Ding Lao Hum walked up with a smile, reported the situation of Qionghua Pavilion and his party, watched him write them down one by one, and then nodded to Wu Jixing.

"Helper, he didn't scribble. ”

Wu Jixing smiled, didn't say anything, and took the lead and turned to leave.

As soon as Qionghua Pavilion walked away, the official, whose face was already darker than his beard, put down his pen and paper, glanced at the sky, snorted coldly, but said nothing.

Out of the Divine Martial Division, Wu Jixing asked, "Uncle Shi, what a coincidence that you came!"

Sun Qiongyu smiled: "When I heard the news of your entry into the port, I thought that you might be in trouble in the Ship Division or the Shenwu Division. It's okay for the shipping department, it's just that they have a bad mouth, even if there is a dispute, it's a quarrel at the top of the sky, and they won't do it - they don't have the ability to do it with you. But this Shenwu Division is a place where a real grandmaster is in charge, and once there is a conflict, I am afraid that it will be bad. That's why I'm here. ”

She smiled very calmly, as warm as everyone's girlfriends: "It's a pity that I'm still a little late, otherwise there wouldn't be even that little dispute." ”

"You're just in time!It's not too late at all!" Wu Jixing said with a smile, "By the way, why doesn't this Divine Martial Division even have a figure?

"Didn't you just see that real person?"

Wu Jixing was stunned for a moment, then startled, and shouted: "That vicious guy just now, is he a real person?"

"Exactly, I don't know his name, but he's a real person who has returned to his roots. Sun Qiongyu said, "He had a move before, and he killed a famous lone thief with only one move, the thief attacked the Zhongzhou government during the Dragon Boat Festival, committed a lot of crimes, and planned to take a boat from the South China Sea to Tianzhu, but met him and was slapped to death by him." ”

"But...... Doesn't it mean that once he steps into the realm of returning to the basics, there will be no true qi in his whole body, and the surrounding heaven and earth vitality will also become peaceful, and he looks no different from ordinary people? Why is his true qi surging all over his body, and he looks like he is just an innate master?" Wu Jixing asked curiously.

Sun Qiongyu smiled a little sarcastically: "Have you ever seen fishing? If you want a fish to take the bait, you must naturally have bait on the hook." If he doesn't behave weaker, how dare the masters of the rivers and lakes play tricks in front of him and give him an excuse to make a move?"

Wu Jixing suddenly understood, and couldn't help but curse.

"This person is too treacherous!" Song Xiaoha said hatefully, "He definitely wanted to trick us into doing it just now, so that he could kill people on the pretext of attacking the officials of the imperial court!"

"Exactly. Sun Qiongyu nodded, "You guys were a little reckless just now." Even if he has a bad attitude, if you turn around and leave, why bother with him? Anyway, if you have been here, he has not registered you, it is his dereliction of duty, and it has nothing to do with you. As for what he said...... His mouth is on his face, and you can't plug him. ”
