The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River has always been a prosperous place for literati and artists, and it is also the favorite place for tourists, where there are countless beauties, the scenery is unparalleled in the world, and chivalrous and literati are everywhere.

After the White Horse Pass is to enter the territory of Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the capital of Yuzhou is named after the city of Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and the first city that entered the border of Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is Jiyang City, Jiyang City belongs to one of the six main cities of Yuzhou, Jiyang City has six affiliated counties and counties, it is also very large, from this prosperous and lively Jiyang City can see the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River!

There is a strange group on the street, starting with a middle-aged man leading a little girl of eleven or twelve, followed by a handsome young man in white, and beside him is a woman who has captivated the country and the city.

This woman made all the men on the street look sideways, the hawkers stopped shouting, the customers in the tavern stopped drinking, and even the women in the Qinglou stopped soliciting customers but looked around.

"Did I say it, let you wear a veil," Mo Fan smacked his lips and said, "Red face and trouble!"

Ye Qingcheng glared at him, and the latter obediently closed his eyes.

"Uncle Bearded, I want to eat sugar gourds," Xiao Liuli looked at Xiahou Xiongba and said.

Xiahou Xiongba smiled and nodded, and then went to buy sugar gourds for Xiao Liuli.

Mo Fan looked left and right and then said, "This city in the south of the Yangtze River is his mother's prosperity, I think it's really reluctant to go back to the northwest soon, and I don't know what the land of the three continents in the northwest is like."

"This time, the matter of the Mo family, the Tianlan royal family is indeed unkind," Ye Qingcheng frowned and said

Mo Fan glanced at Ye Qingcheng and then smiled, "It's not unkind, my Mo family is indeed high, and the 300,000 Mo family army in the Heavenly Soldier City in the past is indeed like a sword in the throat!"

"But he has also done all kinds of grace to my Mo family in the eyes of the people of the world, my father died for the country, he was posthumously named King Mo, my mother was martyred for his father, and he was posthumously named Mrs. Yasukuni, both parents were buried in the imperial tomb with the treatment of princes and princesses, which can be described as a grace of heaven..."

Saying that, Mo Fan shook his head helplessly, "Let the Mo family go to guard the country, and by the way, withdraw from the Heavenly Soldier City, away from the imperial capital, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds, and then the old man Tiantu King will be crowned, and the land of the entire northwest is no less than a small country into the Mo family's fief, so that the old man will become the most powerful and most vast vassal king in Tianlan, and he will build the Heavenly Mansion to protect the country, which is also to block the mouth of the generals of the Mo family's army, and in the eyes of the people, it is the grace of heaven." ”

"This majesty can be described as an emperor who can't find fault with the people of the world!"

Ye Tingcheng listened to Mo Fan's words, then covered his mouth and smiled: "It seems that you also really admire this emperor of Tianlan."

"Of course, I can't look down on the royal family, but I also admire His Royal Highness the emperor, who occupied two-thirds of the land of Shenzhou in a few decades, and let the people of the world call him the man of the Eastern Emperor" Mo Fan said unabashedly.

On both sides of the street, the men who saw Ye Qingcheng's smile were as if they had lost their souls, and they all forgot what they were going to do, and Mo Fan was really helpless.

......

A few people found an inn to rest, and it has been spread all over the outside that it is a peerless beauty from Jiyang City, although there are beauties in Jiangnan, but Ye Chengcheng is really the top beauty even in Jiangnan...

In the inn, Mo Fan sat on a chair and wiped the Cold Moon Knife, Xiao Liuli had already followed Ye Qingcheng to sleep, and the little girl was also tired from being frightened in the past two days.

"Old ghost, how many people do you think will come to this sword capture conference?" Mo Fan asked as he looked at Xiahou Xiongba.

Xiahou Xiongba lay on the bed, turned over, then looked at Mo Fan and replied: "Every sword competition will have countless Tianjiao rise, stunning the future rivers and lakes, presumably this time is no exception!"

"There have been many famous swords in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and among the top ten famous swords, Langya is from the Tibetan Sword Villa, and there will definitely be many swordsmen and young talents who will go to the Tibetan Sword Villa this time!"

Mo Fan nodded, and then grinned, "Do you think I'm a young talent?"

"Sleep!" Xiahou Xiongba took a closer look at Mo Fan, then turned around and said two words.

"Damn!!" Mo Fan scolded and continued to wipe the Cold Moon Knife.

......

At night, in a mansion in Jiyang City.

The mansion was brightly lit, and the people were cleaning up the banquet that had just finished entertaining the distinguished guests.

There are three major families in Jiyang City, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Lin family.

This mansion is the Lin family, and the head of the Lin family is called Lin Wei, who is also a well-known figure in Jiyang.

But at this time, Lin Wei was frowning in the hall and comforting a woman, Lin Wei, who was over half a hundred years old, kept comforting his tearful little daughter, his eyes were full of distress and he seemed at a loss.

"Daughter, dad is sorry for you," Lin Wei said, touching his daughter's head.

The woman is wearing a green long skirt, her figure is very good, she is about seventeen or eighteen years old, she looks beautiful and has the feeling of a small jasper, Lin Wei has three sons and one daughter, and she is Lin Wei's youngest daughter called Lin Yun.

The woman looked up at Lin Wei and said, "Dad, my daughter really doesn't want to marry that Xu Feng."

"Daddy, don't you know that he is notorious for all kinds of evil, and Dad is not willing to marry you to him" said Lin Wei clenched his fists helplessly and hatefully, "But he is the son of our Jiyang Taishou, if Dad doesn't promise us, the lives of dozens of people in our Lin family will be lost!"

Lin Wei is also very helpless, Taishou is a five-grade official in the court.

In Tianlan officials are hierarchical, the prime minister is the head of the civil ministers, the general is the head of the generals, and then it is roughly divided into: Tai Lieutenant, Tai Fu, the governor of the six ministries and so on, and then the second rank of the official position of the young master, Shang Shu Ling, Yu Shi Dafu, Jie Du Envoy, etc., the third grade is the six Shangshu, the history of the thorn, etc., the fourth product in the car government order, Taishou, etc., the fifth product has too often Shaoqing, the squire of each department, etc., and then the city lord of the sixth grade, the county magistrate, the Fu Yin, and then those county orders below the six grades, the town mayor and the county lord Bo, the pavilion chief and so on ignore the official position, the five grades above the official can enter the court early or enter the palace to face the saint, the following officials must be summoned by the emperor to enter the palace！

In fact, the military generals are relatively simple and not too complicated, the head of the generals is the general, followed by the general of the first grade, the governor of the capital, and the emperor himself can go to the court in front of the major halls with the title of the second and third rank generals, as well as the fourth rank of the captain, these are all positions that can be used to face the saint.

Then there is the five-rank capital protector in the army, and the personal guards of the major commanders and generals are the sixth-rank official positions, and then the seventh-rank captain.

And the remaining commanders, centurions, and captains have no official positions, only ranks.

Each state has a history of thorns, the history of thorns is a three-grade official, and each state has several main cities, each main city has a Taishou to supervise the city as a four-grade official, and the city lord manages the affairs of the city as a six-grade official, and there are many counties and towns under the main city, the county magistrate who manages a county is the seventh grade, the county magistrate who manages the small and medium-sized county towns in the county is the eighth grade, and the mayor who manages the town in the county is the last of the nine grades.

......

"Alas, daughter, it's all useless for my father to wronged you," Lin Wei looked at his daughter Lin Yun and said helplessly, "Although the city lord and my Lin family have reconciled, the official level crushes people to death!"

Lin Yun wiped her tears and nodded, "I know my father, but I can't even see the last side of Jingling, so I'm going to marry someone else."

"Jing Ling's kid has made an appointment to go to the Sword Capture Conference in the Hidden Sword Villa, and I guess I haven't received any news now!"

Lin Wei wiped his daughter's tears and patted her on the shoulder, "I'll send someone to bring him a letter."

"No need father," Lin Yun stopped his father and said, "Jing Ling has wanted a famous sword since he was a child, he likes swordsmanship, and his daughter also likes to watch him practice swords, don't let me let him pass by his dreams!"

"Actually, even if he comes back, it will only increase the sadness, our Lin family can't afford to provoke Lord Taishou, and the Liu family can't afford to provoke either" said Lin Yun sighed sadly.

Lin Wei also sighed deeply, "Alas, I have wronged my daughter......"

............

The next day, Mo Fan took Ye Tingcheng and Xiao Liuli out to play early, and Ye Tingcheng also changed into a men's dress, which was Mo Fan's strong request, otherwise she would inevitably have ghosts who were not afraid of death to tease her on the street, it was too troublesome.

But despite changing men's clothes, that face is still attractive, but most of them are attractive to women, and of course there are many men with quirks who look at her, and it is true that the face is flawless!

"Guest, come and taste the lion meat in our store, it is definitely an authentic delicacy that is rare in a hundred years!"

A junior in the roadside restaurant shouted, Mo Fan stopped and looked at him, "Bragging, right?"

"Childe, authentic lion meat," Xiao Er emphasized.

Mo Fan touched his chin, and then glanced at Ye Tingcheng, "I really don't believe that this small restaurant can catch lions, it's so capable!"

"You haven't seen much, boring," Ye Tingcheng glanced at him and said.

Xiao Liuli pulled Mo Fan's hand beside him, "Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"Okay, take my little princess to eat lion meat," Mo Fan looked at Xiao Liuli, then bent down and touched her head, picked her up, and walked in.

Ye Qingcheng rolled his eyes behind him and followed in.

After entering the restaurant, Mo Fan and the three of them found a place and sat down, there are still a lot of people in the restaurant, most of them are people who look like a son, Mo Fan estimated that they were all here to eat this lion meat.

"Xiao Er, come to the pot of Biluochun, come to the lion meat you said!" Mo Fan shouted.

Xiao Er nodded, "Okay, boy, wait a minute!"

With that, he left to get busy.

Mo Fan hugged Xiao Liuli, then looked at the little white cat in Ye Qingcheng's arms and smiled, "When will you stew this little white cat and eat it?"

"Meow!!" the little white cat protested silently.

Ye Qingcheng glanced at him, and the two swords on his waist vaguely appeared to be unsheathed and slashed at him.

"You have a rainbow, what are you going to do at dawn?, why don't you send me," Mo Fan said shamelessly

Ye Qingcheng shook his head, "No, this sword has an owner"

"Really, who has this blessing," Mo Fan looked at Ye Tingcheng and said.

"My cousin, Ye Xing Soul," Ye Qingcheng replied.

Mo Fan looked at Ye Qingcheng in surprise, "Ye Xing Soul, I haven't heard of it, I thought I was going to give it to the next Sword Pool Sword Master Ye Zangfeng."

"You will know, one day the whole rivers and lakes will know my cousin's swordsmanship" Ye Chengcheng looked proud when he talked about Ye Xing's soul.

Mo Fan nodded disapprovingly, and then he began to fiddle with Xiao Liuli's hair, provoking Xiao Liuli to dance his teeth and claws.

......

"Guest officer, your tea and dishes!" Xiao Er came up with his things.

The lion meat was served on two plates on a very large plate, and the portion was very generous, and the fragrance was tangy.

Mo Fan and Xiao Liuli immediately had an appetite, picked up the chopsticks and the two guys ate it, Ye Qingcheng also ate two bites, and there will be no resistance to food, whether men or women...

In just half an hour, the three of them ate two large plates of lion meat, don't you say that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World wiped his mouth, and he really felt that the aftertaste was endless!

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has really never eaten lion meat, and today is also a long experience!" Mo Fan smiled and said, "When you have time, let Xiao Zhan go to the grassland, catch a few for me, and stew them!"

"Brother, brother, can Brother Xiao Zhan catch lions?" asked Xiao Liuli with a greasy little mouth.

Mo Fan picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth with a smile and said, "Of course, your brother Xiao Zhan is born with great divine power and martial arts, not to mention lions, Jiaolong can catch them!"

"Brother bragging!" Xiao Liuli looked incredulous.

Mo Fan smiled and didn't explain, this little girl is really likable.

In fact, Mo Fan didn't brag either, the masters of the rivers and lakes mainly cultivate spiritual power and internal force, pay attention to the realm of cultivation and powerful exercises, as well as the strength of the moves, and although the generals of the court also practice the realm of spiritual power and internal force, the realm is also the same, but in addition to these things, the most important thing for the generals of the court is to cultivate their own body, body and strength, and also martial arts, pay attention to the power and lethality of one move.

After eating and drinking, Mo Fan looked left and right and was ready to leave, because Xiao Liuli still had to go shopping, it was originally Ye Tingcheng who wanted to come out to take Xiao Liuli to buy new clothes, Xiao Liuli didn't even have a new dress, and the clothes on her body were all tattered.

"Little Er, settle the bill!" Mo Fan beckoned and shouted.

Xiao Er ran over in small steps and nodded, "Okay, Childe"

Saying that, Xiao Er took the account book and looked at it, "Childe, a total of one hundred and two taels of silver."

"What?" Mo Fan was stunned!

Even Ye Tingcheng glanced at Xiao Er in surprise, that is, Xiao Liuli didn't understand what it meant, and she didn't understand how much more than a hundred taels of silver was, because she hadn't seen it before.

"Are you going to pit the prince?" Mo Fan asked as he looked at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er glanced at Mo Fan and hurriedly waved his hand, "Childe said and laughed, our lion meat has always been at this price, because lions are too difficult to catch, and our people are injured every time, besides, you also eat very well, don't you?"

"You can say!" Mo Fan glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

Because the lion meat is indeed worth this price, ordinary people don't dare to think about it at all, Mo Fan then took out his pocket and was embarrassed, he went out with a dozen taels of silver, although more than a hundred taels of Mo Fan is not much, but he can't go out and bring so much, the package is still in Xiahou Xiongba, Ye Chengcheng doesn't have to count on it, this chic chivalrous girl will definitely not bring it.

"That, I'll go back and have someone bring it to you later, can you see it?" Mo Fan said to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then there was contempt in his eyes, and he no longer nodded and said, "Look at your brocade and jade robe, it turns out that you are also pretending?"

"Want to eat overlord meals here, you're thinking wrong!" Xiao Er said with a sneer.

Mo Fan said apologetically, "You misunderstood, this son is not short of these money"

"Hmph, then you just press this dirty little beggar here, and if the silver can't be delivered, I'll sell her!" Xiao Er pointed to Xiao Liuli next to Mo Fan.

Xiao Liuli drilled into Mo Fan's arms in fear, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold, because this little er's words touched Mo Fan's bottom line, although they had known each other for a short time, Mo Fan had already regarded this poor Xiao Liuli as his sister, and his parents were killed, and he happened to have no parents, if there was no Mo Wentian, would he be the same as Xiao Liuli? Eating weeds all the way to escape, blowing in the wind and rain, I don't know where to go, just walking step by step and living day by day, although there are many poor people in the world, but I just met this little girl, which is also fate.

"You try?"

Mo Fan said with a cold face, he is not a benevolent person, he has seen too much of the world in the past three years, and he has killed a lot of people, his hand has long been on the handle of the cold moon knife, and Ye Tingcheng on the side also looked at this little second with cold eyes.

Where can Xiao Er stand the staring of these two people like this, one is one and a half steps to one, and the other is at the peak, he is an ordinary person.

"Big man, come out quickly!" Xiao Er shouted.

Then a simple-looking young man came out, this young man was two feet tall, one and a half heads taller than Mo Fan, his face was still immature, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, short hair, and tight muscles all over his body, looking like a King Kong.

"It's not simple, it's the pinnacle," Ye Qingcheng said in a deep voice.

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the young man, "Is there such a master in this broken restaurant?"

"The strength should be impeccable, the internal force is majestic, and the spiritual power is insufficient" Ye Tingcheng looked at the young man, "Like a strong general!"

"Big man, beat them up for me, and give you chicken legs tonight!" Xiao Er shouted as he jumped to the side.

The big man's eyes lit up when he heard the word chicken legs, and he clenched his fists and was about to run over.

The people around had already heard the movement, and they all put down their chopsticks and looked over, watching the excitement.

Mo Fan stood up and pulled out the Cold Moon Knife, "This guy, it is estimated that the lion in this restaurant was caught by him, I said!"

Ye Tingcheng also held the hilt of the sword on the side and stood up to make a move, this young man didn't look like he was easy to deal with.

"Stop!!" a young voice came.

The big man stopped and looked over, and the three of Mo Fan and Xiao Er and the people around him also looked over.

"It's the son of the Liu family!"

"Liu Jingling is here, didn't he go to the sword capture conference?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people around him, and they all recognized the person who spoke.

A young man walked over, with short hair, long and delicate, and a sword at his waist, he walked over and took out a silver ticket from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er and said

"I'll help them settle the bill, and the rest will be rewarded to you, there's no need to make a big fuss!"

"Okay, Young Master Liu!" Xiao Er happily looked at the silver ticket, then glared at Mo Fan and the three of them, and turned to leave.

The big man looked at Mo Fan, scratched his head, and then followed and left.

The people around greeted the young man one after another, and then resumed drinking and eating meat.

"Thank you for this son!" Mo Fan smiled, Han Yue put the knife into the sheath, and then arched his hand.

The young man smiled and said, "It's out of the way, it's just a meal."

"In Liu Jingling, the Xialiu family, the swords and swords of the two sons are not ordinary, and the internal strength is majestic, so they must also be young masters in the rivers and lakes!"

Mo Fan held back a smile, Ye Chengcheng's cultivation of the Ye family's exercises at the peak was naturally majestic, and his own majestic internal strength was because of the heart lotus, and he was not a master.

However, he did not refute, but invited Liu Jingling to sit down and chat.
