"Sister, which side are we going to join?"

"Don't worry, let's find a populated place to learn about the world. ”

"That's fine. "The two use the language of this world, not Chinese, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Lin Zixian looked around, they were at the foot of a big mountain at this time, and not far away was a small village.

It was early in the morning, and a red sun was rising, dispelling the morning fog. From time to time, the sound of birdsong could be heard from time to time in the depths of the forest. A drop of dew dripped down the tip of the grass to the grasshopper that was still sleeping under the grass.

Two figures flew across the grass, causing the grasshopper to jump off in fright.

As they were about to reach the village, the two slowed down and walked into the village.

From time to time, villagers who took advantage of the morning to work in the village appeared, and when they saw the two people in black robes, there was some surprise in their eyes, and then when they saw the knife on their waists, the surprise in their eyes quickly turned into fear, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at them again.

"The warriors of this world don't seem to be very kind. After seeing the reaction of the villagers, Lin Xiuran made a preliminary judgment.

"Perhaps. Let's ask someone. ”

"Hey, uncle, let me ask you a question. Lin Xiuran stopped a villager who came out.

This villager was a little scared, and heard that the people in the rivers and lakes outside were very murderous, and they would kill people if they didn't agree with each other, so he didn't dare not answer: "Young man, please ask." ”

Lin Xiuran said, "Where is the village chief of your village?"

The villager exhaled, fortunately it was not a difficult question, he quickly replied: "The village chief is on the right side of the village, the young man first walks along this road for ten meters, then turns left, there is more than ten meters, then goes inside, and then turns right, and then let's go ...... it."

Lin Xiuran was full of black lines, interrupting his words: "You come to lead the way!"

The villagers did not dare to disobey, and led the two of them to a relatively large and luxurious house.

This dilapidated village doesn't look big, but the road is like a labyrinth, which makes Lin Xiuran and the others speechless.

The villagers knocked on the door, and it was a pale-haired old man who opened the door, "Da Niu, is there anything wrong with you?"

The villager called Da Niu pointed to the two sisters and brothers, and said, "Village chief, these two young heroes are looking for you." ”

The village chief's eyes met the two of them, and seeing that they were carrying knives, he didn't dare to slack off, and warmly invited the two into the house.

"Village chief, my sister and I have been practicing martial arts in the mountains with our master since we were children, and we have never been in contact with the world. ”

"I see, that's the case, the old man doesn't know too much, if he doesn't talk in detail, I hope the young man won't blame him. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Outside, the Tang Dynasty has ascended the throne since His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, the court has become more and more powerful, and the Jianghu Alliance composed of Jianghu forces has been confronting the imperial court in recent days, and no one on either side can help anyone, the situation is deadlocked, for this reason, the emperor has issued a special edict to recruit masters, eradicate the Jianghu Alliance, and dominate the world......"

The village chief himself didn't know much, and the information Lin Xiuran got was too general.

"Then, village chief, where is the nearest city from here?" Lin Zixian asked.

"Oh, the young man only needs to walk more than 20 kilometers along the official road at the entrance of the village. ”

"Okay, thank you village chief, let's take our leave. Lin Xiuran thanked.

"Young heroes don't have to be polite. ”

The two walked out of the village chief's house, too lazy to walk the messy village road, jumped directly onto the roof and jumped towards the entrance of the village.

......

At a fork in the road, two men who were on foot stopped and looked at the group in front of them.

"Stop!" shouted the black-faced man on horseback, who rode away at the slightest mishap.

"Two, we brothers—uh!" Before the black-faced man could finish speaking, he felt a chill in his throat and could no longer speak.

Those subordinates immediately scattered, "Kicked to the iron plate, run away!"

Lin Xiuran and Lin Zixian chased after each other separately, killed them all, and wanted to rob them?

In the end, the two only found a few taels of silver from them, after all, they came to rob, and the fool brought the valuables.

Looking at the two people who rode away, on the hill more than 100 meters away from the war zone, dozens of men broke out in a cold sweat, "Boss, Brother Mu planted ......"

"Am I blind?" the boss slapped him in the face.

Not to mention the people who were afraid for a while, the two people on a horse were in a good mood, and finally they didn't have to walk, although twenty kilometers was not too far.

"Sister, why am I sitting in the front?"

"Because it will keep me out of the wind. Lin Zixian, who was holding Lin Xiuran, said with a smile.

“......”

In less than half an hour, the two arrived at the city gate.

People came and went at the city gates, and there were a small number of soldiers on both sides to maintain order.

The two men abandoned their horses and marched into the city gates in a procession.

It was already morning, and the street was full of shouting.

I found a restaurant, ordered a plate of peanuts, and sat quietly listening to others.

"The battle outside the city last night was really quite exciting, thousands of Gangs of the Chijiao Gang of the Jianghu Alliance successfully ambushed the thousand-person army of the imperial court stationed outside the city, who would have thought that the three thousand Black Armor Army came to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and directly annihilated the Chijiao Gang and the Five Tiger Gates who rushed to support. A rough man gushed.

"Black armor army, obediently, isn't that the elite army of the imperial court? I heard that it was cultivated by the current emperor. An audience member exclaimed.

"That's not, now the imperial court and the Jianghu Alliance seem to be evenly divided, but the people's court is united under the leadership of the emperor, but the Jianghu Alliance is like a plate of scattered sand, with no leader among the dragons, each fighting for its own ......" Dahan Dao.

"Doesn't that mean that the Jianghu Alliance has lost?"

Dahan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”

"I heard that as long as you can survive a stick of incense under the city lord, you can become a guest of the rivers and lakes, it seems that the treatment is very good, contribute to the court, and it is not bad to find an official and a half-position in the future. "There is another humane.

"That being said, but I'm so low in strength, it's better not to be embarrassed. ”

......

The two did not believe the news obtained from the restaurant, but went to directly or indirectly contact the five strata of Shinong, industry and commerce, in order to reduce information errors, and by the way, they also learned about the situation of the emperor of the current dynasty.

Judging from the information available, the imperial court side is strictly disciplined, has strict hierarchies, implements strict laws, is close to the people and loves the people, and is quite loved by the people, but its strength is slightly weaker than that of the Jianghu Alliance. The Jianghu Alliance has many people and strong strength, but the people in the rivers and lakes act unscrupulously and freely, which makes the people complain.

The imperial court has the potential to spark the prairie and gradually become stronger, but the Jianghu Alliance is not useless, there are many martial arts families and wealthy merchants among them, occupying half of the Tang Dynasty, and the material aspect is not at all worthy of the imperial court, and it is difficult to say who will win in the end.

However, the history of the development of this emperor made the sisters and brothers find it very interesting.

This emperor's name is Li Hao, well, Li Ritian, nothing wrong. Li Hao was born to the former emperor and a palace maid, but his martial arts talent was very good, and he was very valued by the first emperor, but when he was fifteen years old, his cultivation stagnated, and even regressed. At that time, the royal family was in decline, and the prime minister's daughter was not punished, and it became people's after-dinner conversation.

However, everyone didn't expect that five years later, Li Hao returned as the king, not only recovered his talent, but also reached the peak of his innate strength (orange peak), and secretly cultivated his own army, made a decision to kill, recruited talents, and then ascended the throne strongly, integrated the imperial court forces, abolished the prime minister, set up six departments, established the East Factory, placed the imperial examination, bloodbathed the prime minister's family, and got involved in the rivers and lakes......

"Isn't this the template of the legendary protagonist? The outsider mentioned by the system is probably him, this person should be a soul piercing, maybe he is still a fellow countryman, this imperial examination has come out......" Lin Xiuran was a little speechless.

"Sister, I think we should join the court side. ”

"Oh, why?"

"Although the Jianghu Alliance is stronger, the court is more popular, as the so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the former forces are not easy to form a joint force, internal disputes are continuous, and sooner or later it will be over, anyway, I am not optimistic about it. Lin Xiuran expressed his opinion.

"Well, you did think of it with me, but not only that, now as long as the people on the court side have a lot of credit, they can quickly improve their status, and they can better use the local forces to deal with the follow-up tasks, and the people of the Jianghu Alliance are unruly, although they are strong, but they are difficult to command, therefore, the court is more suitable for us. Lin Zixian added.
