Chapter 114: Five Swords
Jianghu, a very magical existence, is separated from the court and the people, but it exists between the court and the people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is not subject to the control of the imperial court, they are the embodiment of justice and affection, but at the same time full of darkness and ugliness. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, but there are still so many people who are willing to go to the rivers and lakes, maybe the rivers and lakes are freer, but is this the case? Since ancient times, most of the sects in the rivers and lakes occupy mountains and caves, and they are all inaccessible places. Even those who dare to build gangs and factions in the city are all cautious and dare not take a wrong step. Why, because if the people of the rivers and lakes offend the court, they will be exterminated, and the rivers and lakes will no longer be the same rivers and lakes. The reason why the Jianghu people dare to act so big now is only because they are in troubled times, and the court is too busy to take care of itself. But there is a place, there has always been only rivers and lakes, it is a city, a not small city, but it has gathered countless rivers and lakes sects, most of the people in the city are Jianghu people, and if you go out without a weapon on your body, it will make people look down on you. This place is called Shaoxing, known as Huiji in ancient times, renamed Yuecheng in the Tang Dynasty, and renamed Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. This was once the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and although there were martial arts people gathered here, they only recognized one kind of weapon, that is, the sword. As far as the eye can see, everyone has a sword on their back, and even if they have other weapons, there are very few.
The people here are not only good at making swords, but also good at casting swords, in the Spring and Autumn Period, this is the land of Wu Yue. Here appeared a god who built weapons, named Ou Yezi, he was the originator of the sword forging sect, and there is no one else in the world who is famous for swords. He made three famous swords for the king of Chu Zhao, called Longquan, Tai'a, and Gongbu, and made five swords for Goujian, the king of Yue, named Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Fish Intestine, and Chunjun. And Mo Ye, a world-famous cadre in later generations, is just his daughter and son-in-law. The five swords dedicated to Gou Jian appeared at the same time in addition to the moment of offering treasures, and then all disappeared, some said that they were buried in the tomb of King Yue, some said that they were snatched away by other countries, and later they were all returned to the Qin State and buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, and some said that they were still in this Shaoxing city, but they were hidden by people with hearts.
Since everyone uses swords, there is a comparison, and it is necessary to divide the superior, then some titles will emerge. Just like poetry, everyone makes poems, and there is a poet immortal Li Bai and a poet saint Du Fu. There are more swords, in addition to the sword god, there are also sword saints, sword maniacs, sword demons, sword idiots, swordsmen and so on. Although there are many titles, the only ones that everyone recognizes are the Sword God and the Sword Saint. Although the two are equally famous, the way they become famous is very different, the sword master is the first name in the competition, and the sword god is killed by killing.
It's like a paradise here, they don't know the situation in the Central Plains, they don't know the danger of the country, and they don't know the great water of the local Central Plains, they only live in their own world. But this quiet place is also pregnant with a big conspiracy.
"I don't know what Jia Xiang is talking about when he comes to my small Shaoxing Mansion?" It was Yin Tiezan of Shaoxing Mansion who spoke, saying that it was Mansion Yin, which was only sealed by the imperial court, he had never listened to the orders of the imperial court, and the imperial court was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Tie Zhifu, you have a good life this day, you used to be the emperor of the sky, and the court didn't have that spare time to care about you. But now it's different, your Shaoxing is only a day or two away from Lin'an. Let me ask you, Shaoxing Mansion is still my place in the Great Song Dynasty?" Jia Rudao's face suddenly changed.
"Prime Minister Jia, you say yes, as long as the Great Song Dynasty doesn't remove me from Shaoxing, I will still be considered the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Since you belong to the Great Song Dynasty, why don't you kneel when you see your true appearance?"
"Jia Xiang, don't you know, our Tie family beat my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather from the beginning of the prefect. Originally, we were unwilling, but the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty issued holy decrees one after another, you said that we are ordinary people, and he is also an emperor anyway, so he has to sell his face, right, so he took this prefect down. It is two or three hundred years to do it, and you said that the Great Song Dynasty did not know how to send someone to replace it. Don't you know, the prefect, how ugly it is to scream, otherwise, you go back and talk to the emperor Lao'er, it's changed!" Tie Zan was talking nonsense, and it seemed that he had been wronged.
"You ......"
"Jia Xiang, don't be angry, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go down and ask my ancestors." No, I don't mean that, I mean that if you don't believe it, you can ask Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi, hey, it doesn't seem right! Forget it, don't mention this stubble, I know this, it's a little difficult, you don't think this can be done, you, help you run, I'm here, prepare you a thousand taels of silver, just treat it as a hard work, how about it?"
"Take your money, I'm still disgusted, it's okay, don't mention the kneeling matter, let's get down to business!" Jia Rudao knew that no one could remove him, he was rebelling now, and the court had no way to take him. What's more, this official is originally false, this Tiezan is no different from the King of the Mountain, and he will be taken away within two days if he sends a few officials over.
"There's still business, I thought Jia Xianglai was the one who dismissed my official, and I was happy in vain. If you have something to do, just say it, don't hide it!"
"Tie Zan, you just said that you are a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, this Shaoxing is still a Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, should you make a contribution?"
"Jia Xiang, if you have something to say, I won't be able to detour!"
"Now that the border pass is fighting, everyone in Shaoxing City knows martial arts, shouldn't you do your part?"
"Prime Minister, you know, how can the people in our city fight, although they are all so good at two or three hands, but they are all children, how can they play with the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all the Great Wall forged in blood, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they can fight the three of us if they pick out any one!
Of course, Jia Rudao could hear what he meant, but this was also the result he wanted, so he followed his words and said: "Who said no, I also said this to the emperor, but the emperor disagreed, saying that all the people of Shaoxing are soldiers, and all of them are strong in martial arts." Let me tell you behind my back, the emperor is sitting in the palace, how can he know what is going on outside, do you say yes? Fortunately, I fought hard in front of the emperor, and the emperor agreed not to recruit troops from you!"
"Ouch, then thank you Prime Minister!Prime Minister, you have also worked hard, I also know, if there is nothing to do, you can go back first!" Tie Zan knew that he must have something to say.
"However, the emperor said that he wants you to find the five swords of Zhan Lu, Juque, Shengxie, Fish Intestine, and Chunjun!"
