In the twenty-third year of Chengping, the valley rain season, the drizzle rustle, and the spring twilight.

The valley rains, and the valley is born from the rain. On the fifteenth day after the Qingming Festival, the fighting fingers are the valley rain, and in the middle of March, the rain is clean and clear.

In the last solar term of this spring, Xu Beiyou finally came to the outside of Jiuyuan City, a place that once belonged to the Gongsun clan.

Speaking of Gongsun, Xu Beiyou undoubtedly has complicated feelings, his mentor is surnamed Gongsun, and the plaque he hangs on the gate of Ronghuafang Mansion also reads the word Gongsun.

Murong, Wanyan and other surnames in the early years are the surnames of the Hu people, but Gongsun and Shangguan are different, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu named his young son as the doctor of Shangguanyi, and his descendants then took the name of Yi as the surname, called Shangguan. The Gongsun family is more noble, the ancient emperor is the grandson of the monarch of the Xiong family, so the surname Gongsun was born, born in Xuanyuan Hill, also known as Gongsun Xuanyuan.

_=k Yong P Jiu 'K free x fee, look at the little kK and say ^"

Such a noble surname, from the Central Plains to overseas, and then quietly withered in the Wei State, has to make people sigh for it.

After Xu Beiyou stopped in front of the city for a short time, according to the rules when he went to Julu City, he found a local snake who was familiar with the situation in the city to inquire about the situation in the city.

The head snake is a middle-aged man who is full of wind and frost mixed with a little ruffian, if it is not unexpected, it should be a man with a story, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Xu Beiyou has no intention of delving into anything, after paying thirty taels of silver, quietly listen to this person tell him about the "rules" in the city.

There are only two things in the world, the truth and the rules.

It's not very reasonable in this city, but you have to talk about the rules, whether it's life or death, you have to talk about the rules, if someone wants to disobey the rules, unless the fist is big enough, or the power is big enough, there is only one end of disappearing.

A few years ago, there were some sect disciples from the original, who broke the rules in this city, and they honestly accepted the punishment, but these sect disciples were both young and vigorous, and they also consciously relied on, and they fought in the city if they didn't agree with each other, and as a result, they were dead and crippled, and finally their division commander came forward in person, and they did not hesitate to come to Wei State, but they still failed to get back a statement, and it is said that the few who survived by luck were no different from the wasters, and the second half of their lives were completely ruined.

The reason why this person is a foreigner is because of his accent, speaking the official dialect of the authentic imperial capital, and a slight northwest accent, which reminds him of some old monks in the city, who also speak the official dialect of the Central Plains, and also with a northwest accent, it is said that they were all northwest veterans who followed the first emperor to fight the world, and later followed His Royal Highness the King of Wei to cross the sea to conquer the Wei State, and then took root here, and never returned to the Central Plains. As for why they chose to stay in Jiuyuan City instead of following the King of Wei to the "Eastern Capital" to enjoy happiness, this is not something he can know.

Before entering the city, he told this young man from a foreign country about the situation in the city, just as there was a Lingwu County King Xiao Maha in Julu City, and there were similar people in Jiuyuan City, but it was not a person, or even a family with a surname, but a group of people with their own mountain forces. Among them, the most powerful is naturally the official mansion of the King of Wei in Jiuyuan City, whether it is a native snake or a strong dragon crossing the river, they dare not provoke, followed by those veterans of the Northwest Army, most of them are martial arts monks, and their combat power is amazing, and they once repelled dozens of foreign monks with the strength of three people. In addition to these two, there is a group of monks who crossed from the east of Middle Earth, they call themselves the Garan Temple, they do not live in the city on weekdays, but build temples outside the city, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, offering more than 1,000 Buddha statues of various colors, thousands of monks, detached from the world on weekdays, rarely involved in the disputes of Jiuyuan City, but whenever there is a major event, all parties will choose to make a covenant in the Garan Temple when they reconcile.

In addition to these three parties, there are many scattered cultivation association forces, there are not a few large and small disputes on weekdays, the largest dispute has affected most of the Jiuyuan City, involving all the forces in the city, and finally the government came forward to make peace, the old soldiers suppressed it with iron blood, and finally the two sides had to make a truce in the Garan Temple.

The content of the agreement is not classified, and the man still remembers it clearly, the two sides are bounded by the eastern and western half of the city, and they do not violate each other, and if anyone dares to violate it, they will be attacked by a group.

This is the rule in Jiuyuan City, once the boundary is drawn, no one can cross a step, and those who cross it die, for decades, many people have verified this iron law with their own blood and lives.

Approaching the inn, the man turned his head to look at this young man from the countryside who was walking side by side with him, and said softly: "Finally, I would like to tell Gongzi again, there are three kinds of people in the city who cannot be provoked, let alone touched, namely the man who wears official clothes, the warrior who wears armor, and the monk who has a shaved head. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded, and after saying goodbye to this person, he walked straight into the inn.

The man watched his figure disappear, his face was slightly complicated, and it was not easy to gain a firm foothold in Jiuyuan City, because in addition to the rules on the surface, there were many unwritten rules in the dark, and these secret rules could not be put into words, if anyone dared to say it, who would have broken the rules, and there was no need to say more about the end of the broken rules, so these unwritten rules have become things that can only be understood and not spoken, and they have to suffer a few losses to understand, and sometimes they can't even figure it out until they die。

The man's face quickly returned to normal, and he subconsciously touched the silver ingot in his arms, and turned away without saying a word.

After Xu Beiyou entered the inn, he asked for an ordinary guest room without showing the mountain and water, and thought silently in his heart, according to what the man said, the old soldiers of the Northwest Army in this city should be the old department that followed Yang Bofu to the east, but for some reason, after Yang Bofu's death, he did not follow Xiao Jin to continue the expedition to Wei, but chose to stay in Jiuyuan City, whether they were squeezed out by Xiao Jin's suspicion, or stayed as a guardian, or for other reasons, in short, they and Xiao Jin did not seem to be all the way, which also gave Xu Beiyou an opportunity。

Xu Beiyou is now more and more sure that these people are the old people that Sun Shiwu said, maybe through them he can know what happened back then.

As for the rules that the head snake said, Xu Beiyou didn't pay too much attention to it, if these rules didn't get in the way, he didn't mind following the customs, but if it got in the way, then he didn't mind being a person who didn't pay attention to the rules, didn't that person say, there are two kinds of people who can not pay attention to the rules in Jiuyuan City, one is a powerful person, and the other is a person with a big enough fist, Xu Beiyou thinks that he is alone in the Wei State, but he might as well try to be the latter kind of person.

The man who was the head snake couldn't have imagined that in his eyes, this young man from a foreign country didn't care about the so-called "unwritten rules" at all, it was true that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, but the head snake was not qualified to point fingers at the cross-river raptor.
