Chapter 43: The Knight's Qualification Examination
"The village is certainly not simple. The shopkeeper still looked back with a smile, but the words he said made Bai Xiaosheng's face change greatly: "We have been under surveillance since we entered the village." β
"How is it possible!" Bai Xiaosheng did not immediately look around, but looked like a normal person, chatting with the shopkeeper in a very small voice: "I am the one who recorded the record, how can I be monitored without the slightest notice?"
Bai Xiaosheng is not arrogant when he says this, as a reporter, his ability to investigate and counter-reconnaissance is quite important, it can be said that it is the most basic basic skills, it is no exaggeration to say that all the reporters are the best secret agents, and Bai Xiaosheng is the best among the younger generation of reporters.
"You're still too tender. The shopkeeper still looked smiling and angry: "If I want to hide a drop of water, what is the best way to use?" Bai Xiaosheng thought for a while: "...... Drink it?" the shopkeeper shook his head: "The best way for you to destroy the corpse is to pour that drop of water into the river or even the sea to make it one with the environment." β
"That is to say......"
"That's right. The shopkeeper put the herb package into the carriage: "Everyone here is a watchman." β
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng had goosebumps all over his body, but this was not frightened, but excited: "Since this village is all monitors, then it means that it must be monitoring something, just now I saw the Tibetan soldiers in the village Lan Bai entered the village and was warmly welcomed by the villagers in the village, and even took us to get a lot of benefits, so I inquired a little, I didn't expect that every winter the Tibetan Soldiers Gate would send people to this village to recruit new disciples, which shows that this village has a lot to do with the Tibetan Soldiers, right?"
Just when Bai Xiaosheng was thinking about what was wrong, the shopkeeper lightly slapped a knife on the top of Bai Xiaosheng's head: "Don't think nonsense, we are serious businessmen." β
"But the shopkeeper, aren't you curious? Such a big village is actually full of eyeliner, they represent the Tibetan Soldier Gate, which means that there are things that the Tibetan Soldier Gate cares about in this place, and the Tibetan Soldier Gate is one of the nine major sects today, and it is remembered like this by such a sect, what kind of earth-shattering secret should it be!" Bai Xiaosheng tried to save it, but the shopkeeper still shook his head: "Xiaobai, we are serious businessmen now, doing the work of helping others solve problems, and it will be disgusting to snoop on the secrets of potential customers." β
Bai Xiaosheng pursed his lips with an undeniable expression.
At this time, a child's voice came from behind the two: "Hey, uncle, who are you?"
Here it comes!
Bai Xiaosheng secretly applauded in his heart, did he ask the child to test his identity?
Indeed, since ancient times, many organizations have used children to carry out some covert activities, such as poisoning, passing secret messages, spying on intelligence, and even training young children to be good at using short-bladed daggers to assassinate.
"Uncle, I'm not so old, am I?" The shopkeeper still had that smiling face, but he didn't know why Guo Xiaodao felt a chill down his spine, and immediately changed his words: "You heard it wrong! I'm calling big brother! big brother!"
Bai Xiaosheng on the side rolled his eyes, he was obviously an old monster, but he unexpectedly cared about age.
Listening to Guo Xiaodao's change of words, the shopkeeper nodded, this kid has a strong desire to survive: "As for me, I am in business, you can call me the shopkeeper, as for what I do." The shopkeeper pointed to the sign on the side door of the carriage.
Guo Xiaodao looked at the four words on the signboard: "I don't have to worry about it?"
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "That's right, I don't have to worry about it, I'm the one who specializes in helping people solve problems, if you have anything difficult, you can come to me." β
Guo Xiaodao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You are the shopkeeper who often says that people in the village are the ones who run the rivers and lakes?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "You can say the same, but our nature is more inclined to the dart game, but the business is wider than the dart game." β
Guo Xiaodao's face was excited: "Then you can tell me about the rivers and lakes!"
"Jianghu?"
Guo Xiaodao looked yearning: "Yes! In the near future, I will go to the qualification of 'chivalry', and then go to the rivers and lakes, I want to know what kind of place the rivers and lakes are!"
Shopkeeper: "?!"
"Wait, wait, get the qualification of 'chivalry'? What does that mean?" the shopkeeper's face was confused, and his mind was full of confusion: "Did I hear it wrong? I seem to have heard something strange." β
Exams?qualifications?qualifications?What the hell are these?
"What, aren't you the shopkeeper running the rivers and lakes? Why don't you even know the qualification exam for 'Xia'? I'm afraid you're not bragging?" Guo Xiaodao looked disdainful: "What I don't have to worry about, I'm the king of cowhide at all." With that, he turned around and went back to the village.
Despised by a little broken child!
"Uh...... Shopkeeper, I forgot to tell you, some things have changed a lot in this era and before you fell asleep. Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand cautiously on the side: "I think there are some things you need to understand first." β
......
Because of the Liyang Emperor opened the treasury to declare martial arts, the arsenal classics were widely distributed all over the world, although it did not cause a situation of masters, but the group of people in the middle and low-level armed forces on the rivers and lakes has really increased a lot, gangs pull people, sect fights, and even small fights between gangs can play a lot of movements, because of the existence of those people on the rivers and lakes is very chaotic for a while, and even for a period of time, the crime rate on the rivers and lakes remains high, although the official solving rate is also very high, but the criminal personnel have the force to really cause a lot of trouble for the officials to arrest the criminalsγ
There are also idiots who practice martial arts and put on an invincible appearance of Lao Tzu to die, run to the Wangji Tower to receive dangerous commissions to go to those well-known desperate places to lead to death, or take some commissions that do not meet their own strength and lead to death, these posthumous aftermath work of the little experts in death makes the aftermath of the Wangji Tower a headache.
In order to improve this situation, Emperor Liyang ordered that only those who have obtained the 'chivalry' qualification in the Wangji Tower are eligible to go to the Wangji Tower to receive the commission, and the chivalry qualification examination will be held every year, the location and location and even the examination method are different, and the examiner is selected by the head of the nine major sects in his own sect.
......
"By the way, there are many places where you can't go if you don't have the qualifications of a knight, and some things are also tied down. However, if you get the qualification of a knight, you will enjoy some privileges, and you can even get the help of the official family and the Jianghu sect in some things, which is a very convenient thing...... Shopkeeper, are you listening?"
"Listen. The shopkeeper scratched his scalp and muttered: "This has actually been brought out?" I just mentioned it back then, but I didn't expect it to be recorded now. What is the so-called self-reaping the consequences...... Looks like I'm going to get a knight's qualification. β
