Hidden Blade Chapter 10: Yanguang City
Yanguang City is the state county of Jingzhou.
He is not the only way to cross Jingzhou to Liaozhou, but it is the nearest one.
Xu Han's original intention is not willing to go on such a path that may have variables in order to save this not much time. Even under the strong request of Li Dingxian and his sons who wanted to explore the situation in Jingzhou by the way, such thoughts have not changed.
What really changed Xu Han's mind was that when the people were resting two days ago, Fang Ziyu got interested for some reason, and begged Meng Liang to carry the sword on her back for a look.
This plea of how Master Meng can hold Fang Ziyu, after several false refusals, finally surrendered and handed the sword on his back to Fang Ziyu.
And when Fang Ziyu unwrapped the white cloth wrapped around the sword, revealing the purple blade underneath, Xu Han's eyes condensed on the side, and suddenly he smelled something familiar from the strange long sword. smell.
He snatched the sword from Fang Ziyu's hands a little rudely, and after a while of measuring it carefully, he looked at Mengliang with a weird expression.
The other party seemed to understand the meaning of the inquiry in Xu Han's eyes, but he nodded faintly without saying much.
That night, after the people slept in the inn, Xu Han got up alone and came to the lobby of the inn. When it was a tacit understanding, the black-clothed Mengliang had been waiting for him early.
Seeing Xu Han's arrival, the other party stood up, smiled at Xu Han, and said: "Walk?"
Xu Han nodded, so the two of them walked into the small city less than three hundred miles away from Yanguang City.
The dialogue between the two is not long, there is no extra temptation, straight to the topic, simple and clear.
"Which sword is...?"
"Evil Dragon."
"Wang Yangming asked you to bring it?"
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I can't understand the old man's mind."
"I think I might know some."
"Huh?"
"Jianling is in trouble...a lot of trouble."
......
Compared with Fengxia Town, where there are almost no pedestrians on the street, Yanguang City is naturally prosperous.
Of course, there is really nothing comparable between a border town and a state or county, but since the moment they entered Yanguang City, everyone still feels something completely different from other towns in Jingzhou. breath.
The wall of the city is covered with the Profound Flag of Chu. Although there are endless traffic and pedestrians on the street, the Profound Flag of Chu is also flying next to the signs of almost every shop. Everyone walking on this street, whether it is the pedestrians on the street or the conversations from the wine shops on both sides of the street, the most talked about is how the emperor of this great Chu is holy, and the great Chu Dynasty will rule the world sooner or later. And boasting that his child was baptized into a saint in the holy mansion, of course, every time someone mentions this, everyone around them inevitably casts admiring glances at that person.
If an unknown person came here, most of them would subconsciously think that the Chu emperor must be the party governing the country, and the people's will just now.
However, Xu Han has heard a little bit of a different taste from these various speeches that can be heard at will-how can there be such a beloved emperor in this world? No one is perfect. Even a saint will try to find out his fault, let alone a subjugated emperor that most people have never seen before ascending to the throne halfway through?
But when these people mentioned things about the emperor, what they showed between their brows was the almost fanatical worship color, and this alone was enough to make people wonder.
The people walking on the streets of Yanguang City are mostly aware of this. They looked at each other, and they all saw such doubts in each other's eyes.
"Here is the Holy Soldier!" At this moment, there was a loud shout not far away.
The crowd suddenly boiled, whether it was the pedestrians on the street, the diners in the inn or the shopkeepers, all of them put down their hands and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw hundreds of black-clad men at the entrance of the street stepping forward, and behind them were about a dozen young people in white clothes. Their expressions were silent and the aura all over was restrained, but none The exception is that Xu Han smelled the half-demon's peculiar smell on their bodies. If you want to come, these young people are the so-called holy soldiers.
"Is this the boy who succeeded in becoming a sage soldier today?" The people on both sides of the street pointed to the line and started a discussion.
"Yes, I'm so lucky to be a holy soldier and serve for your majesty!"
"It's a pity that my child did not pass this test."
"It is also his honor. My child will be ten years old in three months. I will send him to the holy mansion by then. Even if he is dead, he must be faithful."
The conversations of the surrounding people were heard by Xu Han and others at that time. The faces of the people became more and more weird. If they talked about the great name of the emperor of Chu, these people would be convinced. It can be attributed to the perfect public opinion offensive of those in power, but if these ordinary people regard the life and death of their children as less important than the glory of the emperor, then there is too much weirdness in this.
To know that Da Chu was really established in less than two months, how the other party tamed these subjects who were Da Xia so obediently and docilely is an incredible thing.
The saint once said that the principle of heaven is human desire, and the two-month situation made the people completely forget the fact that they were once citizens of Daxia, and distorted the worship of the emperor, this kind of ruling method that almost wiped out human desire. Although it can be regarded as the dream of the ruler, no one has really done it.
"Meet Master Saint Soldier!"
"Long live your majesty!"
Just as Xu Han was thinking about these times, the crowd once again shouted loudly. The sage soldiers had already walked to the front of the crowd, and the people spontaneously uttered such loud shouts, and then all knelt down at that time.
This made Xu Han and others who stand out from the crowd look particularly dazzling in the crowd, and the soldiers walking in front of the team also handed stern glances at Xu Han and others. After recovering, Xu Han hurriedly pulled everyone down and fell down at that time. After all, they had more important things to do when they came to Yanguang City. It was too early for them to be put in the eyes of those with a heart. Not a good thing.
And everyone is also a smart person. They recovered at this time and hurriedly bowed down. Only the little prince Li Dingxian seemed to be quite uncomfortable about this, and he did not immediately Leaning down, until Li Maling next to him murmured a few words of anger, he just got down in dissatisfaction.
At this time, the so-called Saint Soldiers passed by Xu Han and the others, and the people near them rang out in exclamation at this time, and the atmosphere reached its climax. Xu Han raised his eyes slightly, carefully observing the saint soldiers, trying to sense something from them. He did such a thing very concealedly, at least in Xu Han's view, unless the power of the fairyland, it is absolutely impossible to detect his breath.
But just when his spiritual knowledge touched those holy soldiers, one of the more than ten holy soldiers who seemed to be the oldest, suddenly frowned, and turned to where Xu Han was. Cast eyes.
Xu Han was startled, he quickly retracted his consciousness and lowered his head.
The young man took a deep look at Xu Han at that time, then turned his head again.
Xu Han naturally felt this. He wondered why this young man could detect his existence, and at the same time he was secretly shuddered. He feels that the other party may have noticed what he did just now...
At this time, there were bursts of noise in the crowd again, but different from the previous praise, the noise that rang out this time was bursts of hysterical curses.
"It's him!"
"It is this thief again, obstructing your majesty's great cause!"
"Yes! I heard that he also tried to destroy the holy mansion. Fortunately, the sage soldiers fought **** battles and finally caught the man."
The crowd was talking like this, and bursts of unbearable curses immediately rose. Xu Han and others also looked up, but they saw that there was a heavy soldier escorted by the parade of sage soldiers. In the prison car, there was a young man in his early twenties. At this moment, he had a disheveled hair, and there were blood scabs that had clotted everywhere on his clothes. He was obviously seriously injured.
His face is also quite pale, and his eyes are dim, but in the depths of this dimness there is a sense of grief and anger that coexists.
The scolding crowd seemed to feel so uncomfortable, so some vendors began to take out the things they sold, from eggs to cabbage, from soup to spilt water, and they were thrown onto the prison wagon by the angry crowd at that time. , The young people who were already ailing, their faces became paler under the beating of these things ~IndoMTL.com~.
"Brother Jiang!" But at this moment, Li Dingxian, who was beside Xu Han, let out an exclamation. He shouted, and suddenly stood up, as if he was about to move forward.
Fortunately, Xu Han's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he just stopped him.
But this is the case. The soldier who had been suspicious of Xu Han and others before still discovered Li Dingxian's change.
"What do you do!" The soldier shouted loudly, and dozens of fellow travellers gathered around. The bright swords were removed from their sheaths, and their sharp points pointed at Xu Han and others.
The parade stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Xu Han and others at this moment.
"I just thought it was wrong, you are the accomplices of this culprit, right?" The leader Jia Shi looked at Xu Han with cold eyes, and drank in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, not to mention the soldiers around, the eyes of those people looking at Xu Han and others became gloomy, and the flashing things in those eyes seemed to wish Xu Han and others on the spot. Thousands of knives are general.
Xu Han lowered his brows and stared at the soldiers around him.
Naturally, these people can’t keep him, but once he moves his hands, he is destined to attract the attention of those who are interested, and this is bound to have his purpose of coming to Yanguang City and even the affairs of Da Zhou. Buried a lot of hidden dangers.
Xu Han's heart sinks when he thinks of this, but he is definitely not an indecisive person. After giving a wink to the people around him, the sword intent around him is about to move.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"Wait."
"These people are friends here, I think there is a misunderstanding here?"
Xu Han and the others were taken aback, looking in the direction that the voice came from, but saw a young man among the group of holy soldiers looking at them with a smile.
Xu Han remembers really, this boy is the boy who just noticed his spiritual consciousness...
