Phew!

Phew!

Phew!

The morning light was faint, the birds had just gotten up, and the golden light from the east was shining on the town, which had been washed by the rain last night, and everything was exceptionally fresh. In the backyard of the inn, Zhao Zhishui's petite and thin body held a long sword, constantly slashing horizontally and vertically, and the sound of breaking the air was endless.

In the past few months after Chu Chou taught her swordsmanship, Zhao Zhishui practiced swordsmanship every day, and there was no day of laziness. It's not that Chu Chou teaches well, but that Zhao Zhishui's own sword heart is tough enough, and once he recognizes something, he will do his best and will not give up easily.

"Sword cultivation, pay attention to sword intent, sword heart, kendo, swordsmanship, and swordsmanship. Among them, sword intent and sword heart are the most important. There are strong and weak points in kendo, swordsmanship, and swordsmanship, but there is no difference between sword heart and sword intent. Once the sword heart and sword intent are shattered, except for a very few people who can break and stand up, the vast majority of people will be slumped from then on, and throughout their lives, their cultivation will not advance but retreat. ”

Chu Chou would say something about sword cultivation every day when his closed disciple Zhao Zhishui was practicing swords, and no matter whether Zhao Zhishui could understand it now, he just said it.

Zhao Zhishui sometimes asks if he doesn't understand, but most of the time Chu Chou will say that you will understand in the future, being a teacher is just laying a foundation for you first.

"Okay, I'm almost done practicing my sword today, let's go to breakfast. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

In the early morning, Guizi Town is full of vitality, and there are already many stalls on the street, and many scholars have brought beautiful women to chant poems and lyrics in the morning light, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

In this historic town, there are very few conflicts between scholars and Jianghu people.

If you change places and gather so many scholars and Jianghu people, there will definitely be friction every day, sometimes the readers and the Jianghu martial artists quarrel, and the Jianghu Wufu is often inferior to the scholars, and in the end, it annoys the Jianghu Wufu, and a fight is indispensable. Most of the people who bleed were scholars, and sometimes even caused the death of one party.

However, Chu Chou has also seen scholars with backgrounds or scholars who know martial arts, not to mention the former who is born in a wealthy family or an imperial general, just talking about the latter is enough to make some unprepared martial artists suffer.

Not only do many swordsmen like to fight in green shirts, but some scholars also like to wear a green shirt for some reason, and they don't wear a Confucian shirt, with a wine pot and a long sword around their waists, and the hilt of the sword is also wrapped with a luxurious sword spike.

Fooled a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, so that these people in the rivers and lakes did not dare to do it easily, for fear that they would really be a famous swordsman.

Chu Chou took his disciples, found a stall with few people, and began to eat breakfast.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance.

"It's the Lotus Battalion, one of the fourteen avant-garde battalions of the Eastern Pole Empire!"

"Oh my God, the Lotus Battalion, one of the fourteen avant-garde battalions of the Eastern Pole Empire, will appear here?!"

"Who knows, as the ruler of the two major states in the Eastern Regions, the Eastern Pole Empire's every move has far-reaching intentions and far-reaching influences, this is ......"

A team of dozens of people galloped until they reached the streets of the town, then they took the reins, slowed down, and walked slowly.

Along the way, everyone dodged to the side of the street like a wolf.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the marching scouts of the Lotus Battalion, passing by here, and repairing here a little, there is no need to panic!" the old scout dismounted with quick movements, and clenched his fists at the people watching around him.

Marching Scout......

Everyone present was not stupid, and after hearing this word, everyone's hearts were churning and rushing, and their hearts were fluctuating.

The stronger an army, especially a strong one, the more emphasis it is on scouts and horses.

Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, the one who followed closely behind the grain and grass was the scout! If there was no scout, the army would be blind and deaf.

And these ironclad soldiers wearing lotus flowers are scouts of the Lotus Battalion, indicating that the Lotus Camp is not far away. Although the war has not yet begun, there must be a certain distance between the scouts and the main army, not too close or too far.

As for the Lotus Battalion, it is one of the fourteen avant-garde battalions of the Eastern Antarctic Empire, and it is an old-fashioned battalion, and the Eastern Antarctic Empire was able to become the first power in the Eastern Regions, so that the Eastern Regions of thousands of countries have bowed to it, and these fourteen avant-garde battalions have made great contributions!

Of course, the main force of the Eastern Pole Empire that really crushed the cultivators on the mountain and the secular forces and dynasties under the mountain was still the million dragon armor god army!

"I don't know what your military masters need? Although he opened his mouth, Lao Yu is the old head of the Feng family, the first family in our Guizi Town, and he has been diligent all his life, and he has saved a family business, and he can still make some modest contributions. "A well-dressed old man with a bow on his back walked on crutches and surrounded by the crowd.

"Okay! Prepare an inn for me that can accommodate dozens of people, prepare wine and meat for me for two days, and get me a few more maps of the surrounding landscapes!

The old head of the Feng family was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered several sons beside him to bring people to do this matter. You must know that this is a great achievement for the Eastern Pole Empire! Although it is not a great achievement, and he does not expect any reward, even if it is a verbal achievement, it is worth 10,000 taels of gold! No matter what it is, it is nothing more than a long stream, and the accumulation of money and contacts is like this.

Among the onlookers, there were also many scholars with backgrounds and influences from other places, many of whom were big families that could be regarded as famous families in a country. But at this time, I was very envious of the old guy surnamed Feng, who had such good luck!

Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui are also among them.

Chu Chou lowered his head and asked, "Zhishui, do you know why the old scout of the Lotus Battalion didn't take those dozens of battle-hardened scouts to live directly in the inn, he didn't have to give money, he lived casually, and the same was true for what he ate and drank, in the face of this absolute strength, at least in this town, no inn could stop him." ”

"Moreover, among this group of pioneer scouts, there are a few mid-third-grade sword cultivators, plus the prestige of their Lotus Camp and the behemoth of the Eastern Pole Empire behind them, they should be even more fearless, why do they still act so restrainedly?"

"Hmm...... Because they don't want to?" Zhao Zhishui thought for a moment with a frown, and finally muttered uncertainly.

This is only one of the reasons, and it is not the main reason. Chu Chou shook his head.

"Huh......? I really don't know such a difficult question, I feel that it is more difficult than practicing swords!" Zhao Zhishui blushed a little, feeling that it was embarrassing that he couldn't think of it.

"It's okay, just tell you for the teacher. Chu Chou touched Zhao Zhishui's head and comforted.

"The reason why these scouts of the Lotus Camp don't act as they please is because there are invisible rules that bind them. It's like the aura between heaven and earth, which can't be seen or touched, but it can be inhaled into the body and turned into internal force. ”

"For example, if they do whatever they want, will they encounter the stubble of the upper three grades who kill people without blinking an eye and are very strong in the rivers and lakes? Will they meet the descendants of Huang Zi Gongqing who came out of the East Pole Empire to practice? Will they meet the Taoist priests of the East Pole Dao Palace, the first immortal sect in the Eastern Regions? Will they be caught by the soldiers of the other old character battalions after doing this kind of thing? Will they be retaliated against one day when they quit the Lotus Camp because of an injury that cannot be healed?"

"And what I'm talking about is just a small part, the world is myriad, all kinds of things can happen, all kinds of big people can appear at any time, some people may not meet a big person in their lifetime, but some people may meet several big people in one day. No matter if you come out or mix it up, as long as you are experienced, you will care about the 'what if', because 'what if' is what if, maybe the next second will become 'one thousand one', and another second will be 'one hundred and one', and then it will become the real one that seems to never come out and can't be met at all. ”

"Oh, the head is big!" Zhao Zhishui shook her head, holding her head in both hands, and shook it again and again, as if her brain was full.

Then Chu Chou glanced at Zhao Zhishui and said something inexplicable that Zhao Zhishui still doesn't understand.

"It's just that, sometimes, some people ...... I'm really looking forward to that one, but it's not that one anymore. ”
