Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiangliuzhuang
readx;?“ Bronze medal for the outer gate patrol?!" A hint of color flashed in Dou Sanniang's eyes, and suddenly she thought of something, and her expression changed, "You are the person in the Sixth Prince's Mansion......"
In order not to expand the impact of the succession incident, the warriors of any camp were basically warned to keep a low profile in the outside world as much as possible, so they basically replaced several royal family members who were competing for the succession with the titles of son, boss, and master.

"You know me?" Bai Ya couldn't help but be surprised.
"Hehe, who of the martial artists involved in this matter doesn't know Bai Shaoxia's name, after all, at this level of our waiting, Junyan who can be ranked on the two lists of Huashan is rare......" As soon as Dou Sanniang noticed Bai Ya's identity, she immediately retreated vigilantly for a distance, and there was no longer the previous madness.
Seeing her cautious appearance, Bai Ya was suddenly a little stunned.
Although he got his wish on the rookie list of swords two years ago, he has always felt very lucky in his heart. In fact, he is also different from the vast majority of rookies on the list, and his achievements should belong to a team.
In this team, there are not only brothers and friends who are busy for him, but there are even several innate teachers who are not doing their jobs and are dedicated to investigating and finding suitable opponents for him.
Of course, there is also a lot of luck in the final result. For example, before discussing the sword, he was lucky to get the relics of Wanqing Cave Mansion, and Zhu Yanzhu happened to reach the quality of pseudo-mystical weapons, etc.
In a way, his achievement is the result of a combination of several chances and concerted efforts.
However, he knows this, but outsiders don't!
A martial artist like Dou Sanniang, who was born in a sect, even if he has never eaten pork and has seen a pig run, will definitely compare Baiya with the corresponding Emei martial artist in his heart, and this comparison actually raises the level of Baiya's combat power to a large extent.
It's true that a warrior has the courage to face challenges head-on, but that doesn't mean he has to die.
At least Bai Ya felt that if he ran into Song Jiang of the Heavenly Demon Dao in the wild now, then he would definitely run away. Knowing that he can't beat it, if he goes up to fight with others in a daze, it will be a bad ~ pen.
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Ya couldn't help but tilt his head, if he was evaluated by the average combat power of the sword rookie list, it seemed that Dou Sanniang's current reflection was within the normal range.
From this inference, the warriors of the three camps should regard him as the trump card of the sixth prince Meng Min, so it is not surprising that everyone has paid attention to him.
"Withdraw!" Just as Bai Ya was distracted, Dou Sanniang opposite him flashed his eyes, shouted without hesitation, and flew back.
The ghost boy on the other side and Tie Yan Chen San were stunned for a moment, but they also didn't fight, and after covering alternately, they left Chen Ming and ran away.
"What are these guys doing?"
Chen Ming returned to Bai Ya's side sullenly, he wanted to leave the ghost boy Wei Yan, but in this case, he didn't want to chase it rashly, in case he fell into the trap, it would be troublesome.
"Oh, I don't know!" Bai Ya touched his nose a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that the other party was scared away by him, it seemed a little too stinky fart.
"Could it be that woman who recognized you, right?" Chen Minghu stared at him suspiciously, and seeing that Bai Ya did not refute, his eyes suddenly widened, "Ah, no, it should be you who revealed your identity, otherwise she should have recognized you in the first place!"
"Is it so scary?" Bai Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Damn, I know!" Chen Ming hammered his palm, a look of annoyance.
......
"Dou Sanniang, why did you avoid the war before you fought each other, before the prince came out this time, he told him a thousand times...
The ghost boy Wei Yan's face was pale, and a pair of iron galls in his hands were pinched and creaked, obviously in an extremely irritable mood.
Although Tie Yan Chen San on the opposite side was silent, a pair of eagle eyes always looked at the woman, wanting to hear her give an explanation.
Although the three of them take Dou Sanniang as the leader, this is just a task arrangement, and they have not discussed each other, but they can't say who is higher and who is lower. They had just retreated according to Dou Sanniang's order, but for the sake of caution, not unconditional obedience.
"Those two people are masters in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and one of them is the ghost card that the chief manager asked me to keep an eye on. Dou Sanniang glanced at Wei Yu and said with a sneer.
"This person heard that his temperament is as jealous as hatred, if I am defeated in the end, the concubine and Chen San estimate that he may let go, but your ghost boy will definitely be dead. If you want to go, you can turn back now, and the concubine will not stop you. ”
"It turned out to be him!" Wei Yi was slightly stunned, his face softened, and he hugged his fist towards Dou Sanniang to apologize.
He has walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and his heart is as smooth as a swimming fish, but just now he was pretending to be a gesture.
"Then how do we behave, we can't just let them go back to Chengdu. Tie Yan Chen San seemed to be thin, but this opening was like a bell.
"Before leaving Chengdu, the governor had given the concubine an arrow, so that he could ask a court member of Qianwei County to make a move, but now he is using it. Dou Sanniang's eyes flashed, and she said slowly.
"Hmph, you can't believe all this, and those who are officials have no faith. Now that the form of Chengdu is unknown, isn't that government afraid of liquidation after the autumn?" Wei Yu pouted.
"Hehe, it's naturally not okay to ask him to help intercept those two people, but if you find an excuse to seal the teleportation arrays in several nearby counties for a few days, it will definitely not be a problem. Dou Sanniang said flatly.
"It's only going to delay them for a few days...... Are you looking for Yang Liugong and Chongping to help?" Chen San suddenly thought of something, and his face was a little surprised.
"That's a good idea, those two are not far from us. Wei Yi raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands and smiled, "Although there is no merit in this way, it is better than a mistake." ”
At this time, he had no idea of fighting for merit, and the matter of fighting for succession was either life or death, but there was no second chance.
The martial artists of the sect still only regard this as an experience, but if these wanted Jiangyang thieves fail to clear their name, they will not even have a chance to be a groom rat again.
"Yang Liugong and Chongping are just one of them, but sealing the teleportation array in this area has another purpose, have you ever heard of the name of Xiangliuzhuang?" Dou Sanniang's eyes flashed, and she said slowly.
"Xiangliuzhuang!" Ghost Boy and Tie Yan Chen San both snorted and looked at each other.
"Ask Xiangliu to help, but it's expensive...... What's more, the people in that place can't see the tail, is there a way for Sanniang to find it?" Tie Yan Chen San asked with a deep groan.
"Well, the concubine had some connections with Xiangliuzhuang in her early years, as for finding ...... Hehe, this place is the junction of Jiangyang and Jianwei counties, and it is not far from them. Dou Sanniang looked dazed and said with some reminiscence.
......
"Senior brother, the master asked you to take me to practice, but he didn't let you throw me aside whenever something happened. Ji Nan's mouth was high, and he sat aside angrily.
After a few days, he and Zeng Hui finally rushed over.
"Isn't this an urgent matter, I will definitely take you next time. Bai Ya said with a smile.
"Brother Bai, I have inquired, the teleportation array in the city cannot be used, so I can only take the flying ferry and the flying wheel treasure ship, but the latest one will have to wait for another week or so. Chen Ming came in from outside the door and said with a frown.

"It's already the second city, so it should be the enemy who is deliberately delaying our return to Chengdu. Bai Ya's face became solemn, and he asked cautiously, "Brother Chen, do you think they are waiting for backup?"
"It's possible, but it's impossible to come from Chengdu, I'm afraid it's a helper who is closer to them. Chen Ming touched his chin and said, "This time, I may really have to deal with Yang Liugong and Chongping introduced by Mr. Wen above!"
Bai Ya nodded, feeling a little heavy in his heart. Although these two people are not in charge of the bodyguards, they should also be working near Jiangyang County, and if the three of them are looking for helpers, these two people will be the choice.
If the situation becomes two to five, then the names of the two rookies on the White Cliff list will not be intimidating. Although they still have the silver corpse Bai Tong by their side, it is difficult to say whether they can take advantage of it.
The ghost boys Wei Qi and Tie Yan Chen San are the warriors of the Green Forest, Dou Sanniang is an Emei outcast, and Yang Liugong and Chong Ping are different from them, they are all martial artists of the Eight Classics of the Sect.
Especially Yang Liugong, there has never been a shortage of alien Dharma protectors around the disciples of the Voodoo Sect, after all, playing Gu worms is their true ability. In case Yang Liugong raised a Gu worm comparable to the situation, then Bai Tong would be restrained.
"Let's take one step at a time!" Bai Ya was a little helpless, "I hope they just lose it." ”
"Well, from tomorrow, we won't enter the county towns along the way, let's take a detour first, I don't believe they can block all the counties in the south of Qianwei County. Chen Ming said ruthlessly.
If they always go into the city to inquire about the teleportation array, they will definitely not be able to hide the eyes and ears of the other party, so it is better to go out into the field for a few days and let the other party lose their whereabouts.
From the next day, Bai Ya and the others rented a stagecoach and went all the way to the camp.
However, this turtle is indeed a bit slow, and can only run thousands of miles a day. Sometimes, for two or three days in the wilderness, not a single person could be encountered, and from time to time some mongrel brute beasts from the edge of the human area would jump out to make trouble.
"Senior brother, there is a Zhuangzi ...... now"
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the sharp-eyed Zeng Hui suddenly happily pointed to the smoke in the sky and screamed.
"Really...... How is this Zhuangzi placed here!" Chen Ming looked up, and couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.
"Could it be Yizhuang?" asked Bai Ya with a frown.
The meaning of Yizhuang in the previous life of Baiya was the place where the coffin was stored, but in fact, this is a narrow statement.
In fact, Yizhuang first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty and was a product of the local township system. In a big family, there are poor families and rich families, and under the advocacy of the elders, the rich families will take out the money to run a righteous village.
The village includes private schools, public fields, cattle farming tools, ancestral halls, etc. In modern times, Yizhuang was almost exclusively an ancestral hall, and then slowly became a special place for coffins.
And in the world of China, Yizhuang has been given another meaning.
Because most of the Terran areas are dominated by cities, the countryside and farmland are closely surrounded by cities, forming a pattern similar to that of the Warring States of Japan in Japan. Because it is very dangerous to be too far away from the city, it will be attacked by many powerful beasts, so it has to be close to the city.
However, regardless of the big cities for the time being, the distance between small counties and small counties is not too far after all, and some are only hundreds of miles apart, so many civilians will not spend money to take the flying ferry, and only rely on stagecoaches to travel with each other.
At this time, certain places similar to modern high-service areas were formed between small cities. There were a small number of residents, inns and taverns that served and fed travelers, blacksmiths that replenished their protective weapons, post stations, and so on.
This kind of place is called Yizhuang by the people of China!
