Luo Fu Chapter 45: An important military town, Gouli Road
Chapter 45 Military Town, Gouli Road
"The Yellow River is bounded to the west, the desert is controlled to the north, the Daoma and Bauhinia Pass are connected to the east, and the dangers of Yanmen and Ningwu are rejected to the south."
This passage is about Hanping, Jizhou, an important town in the north.
Now the world is in chaos, with years of wars and chaos. Hanping, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, has been separated by the northern Hungarian and Qiang tribes, firmly guarding it, and competing with the countries of the Central Plains.
Now the Hungarian and Qiang tribes set up four commanders here, thirteen guards, a standard force of 130,000, and 50,000 horses. , The sword is white, and tens of thousands of troops are dispatched. When they draw their swords together, the murderous aura and the sudden cold light can shock people's hearts.
The Hungarian and Qiang tribes were heavily armed, and it is not like other places where there will be raids by bandits. After all, there has been no war for sixteen years, and refugees, craftsmen, and businesses have poured in Here, a prosperous scene of flowers and horses flowing like a stream has formed.
From the city gate to the hinterland of the important town, there is a four-car bluestone avenue. At this time, one cart is four tall horses, and the four-car avenue is an avenue where sixteen horses drive side by side at the same time.
A four-car avenue runs across the north and south, and there are countless small roads like cobwebs connecting this important town with a radius of thousands of miles. All kinds of businesses have set up shop here, until late at night, it is full of candle shadows, and there is no neglect.
Being here for many years, I am afraid that wars are raging outside, and the nations are vying for hegemony, and I will forget that a war may break out here at any time.
It's late autumn, and it's late autumn. In the south, it's still a refreshing autumn travel season, but in this far north, the cold is getting heavier every day.
Just the heavy layer of hoarfrost on the ridge in the morning indicates that in a few days, as long as there is enough moisture, there will be heavy snow.
In this prosperous capital-like town, the largest restaurant is Zhiweilou in the southeast. Zhiweilou is the property of Wang Xingji, the largest firm in southern Jiangsu. A pair of gluttonous stone carvings as tall as two people at the gate, vermilion gate, shiny copper nails, bright clothes at the gate, full of servants in the middle period, it can be seen that Wang Xingji's financial resources and strength are also at their peak.
Wang Zhiwei is the owner of this Zhiwei Building, and also the general manager of Wang Xingji's 17 various shops in this important town.
It was a cold and windy morning, and from inside the house one could hear the sound of the cold wind blowing from the north blowing the withered grass on the house. , if you get in the way here, be careful of your lives."
"Close the surrounding streets, all shops are not allowed to open today!"
"Who are these people who speak so arrogantly and domineeringly?" Wang Zhiwei was a little stunned, quickly put on a fur robe, and opened the window a little.
The east of the city is the most bustling and bustling area. The businesses that can set up stalls and shops along the way here are backed by important figures in the military. People sit in the town and will be responsible for escorting money and grain, and picking up and delivering goods on the post road along the way. A large amount of silk, cloth, and rice grains in the south, furs, spices and other goods in the north were all circulated in this way.
"Who are you, if you say it is closed, you will close it. Do you have four commanding documents and laws!"
Looking out from the window on the second floor, I saw nine big men standing on both ends of the street.
These nine big men are all black soft armor. I don't know what the black soft armor is made of. From a distance, it looks like there are pieces of scales, shining faintly. Blue-black light. This black soft armor covered the heads and faces of these big men, leaving only the eyes and two nostrils, and looked full of sturdy and domineering aura.
Looking closer, Wang Zhiwei found that these big men were all carrying long swords with black sheaths on their backs, and the boots on their feet had a metallic luster, as if they were actually made of steel.
Wrapping the armor and carrying the sword, this has clearly violated the laws of the four commanders here!
"It's Mr. Zhang Da from Wei Zihao!"
Standing in the street now are two middle-aged men wearing dark blue luxurious robes. The words that the streets and all the shops are not allowed to open are obviously what these two people said, and the person standing in front of the two who asked the question was a man wearing a goatskin short gown, with a long beard, lean and capable, with eyes A man of about forty years old with the appearance of a housekeeper.
Wang Zhiwei recognized that this person was Mr. Zhang Da, the steward of the Wei brand shop opposite.
Wei Zihao is a wealthy businessman in the Heluo area. He is mainly engaged in pawnshops and medicinal materials business. His financial resources and power are even higher than Wang Xingji. Although Mr. Zhang is not impressive, Wang Zhiqiu knows that he is a deep Unfathomable master. Because a few years ago, Wang Zhiqiu saw that Wei Zihao was arguing with a company called Hang Seng Kee, and they refused to give in to each other. As a result, Mr. Zhang Da smashed a Hang Seng Kee full of goods with a single palm, and knocked hundreds of catties into the air. This kind of power made some masters of Wang Xingji feel ashamed. Over the past few years, Wang Zhiwei and the shopkeeper of Wei Zihao also had friendship, and even learned that Mr. Zhang is also proficient in Taoism and knows a lot of supernatural powers.
If it weren't for Wei Zihao and his own strength, otherwise, when so many people wearing strange black armor blocked the streets at both ends, he would never have dared to jump out to question alone.
"Huh? So he is a disciple of the Wangwu Sect, no wonder he dares to stand out."
Wang Zhiwei couldn't see clearly, but the two men in Chinese clothes who were facing Mr. Zhang Da were both fair-skinned, with a faint ivory-like luster on their faces. The dove man with triangular eyes and hooked nose narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "But you don't care who we are, and get back quickly, if you try to get ahead, you will regret it later." .”
Mr. Zhang Da's heart shuddered immediately after being told the truth, but he has been picking up and delivering Wei brand goods on the road for more than 20 years. If a person is immediately frightened away by a light word, at least half of the prestige in the eyes of others will collapse for the past twenty years.
"You asked me to leave without even telling where I came from, isn't that unreasonable?" Mr. Zhang Da immediately straightened his back and said coldly.
As far as the two men in Chinese clothes could see, they could only see some vendors and shops, still standing still, with an extremely cold smile appearing on their faces, "It seems that these people are headed by you. Well, I just want to use you to make an example to others!"
The words of the two men in Chinese clothes were already murderous and very domineering, but just after they finished speaking, a faint voice floated from a distance, "Too much nonsense, wouldn't it make people laugh, mere Wang Wu Disciple, kill it."
Just kill it!
Although the man's voice was serene, what he said made Wang Zhiwei, who was peeking through the window, feel cold all over.
Even the leader of the army here may not be able to say the words of controlling life and death so easily.
As soon as the words fell, eighteen white rays of light were already twisting towards Mr. Zhang Da who was in the middle of the street.
"Flying Sword!"
Mr. Zhang Da's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He could see that these black-armored men with swords on both sides of the blocked road must have extraordinary skills, but he didn't expect that these people were not ordinary martial arts masters in the world, but monks who practiced flying swords!
Any ascetics, unless they have cultivated to the realm of the unity of heaven and man like Yuan Tianyi, will naturally show a certain amount of mana fluctuations even if they stand still, but until these people release the flying sword, Only then did Mr. Zhang Da feel the strong mana fluctuations.
It is the scaly black soft armor on these people, which hides all the previous mana fluctuations of these people!
"You are people who have deviated from the Tao!" In an instant, Mr. Zhang Da thought of a sect in the Northland. The founder of this school once killed a black-winged sea snake with thousands of years of cultivation in the North Sea, and took its flying wings and bones to refine a magic weapon, the Yinscale Black Banner, which can release poisonous smoke and mines. A batch of black armor was made. This batch of black armor can resist swords and guns, avoid water and fire, and it is difficult for ordinary flying swords to hurt them. Another function is to allow ascetics to hide their own breath. Back then when Gouli Dao was competing with a sect in the North, a group of disciples wore these treasure armors, sneaked into the opponent's mountain gate secretly, caught the opponent by surprise, and won a complete victory.
"Overreach!"
Mr. Zhang Da made a sound, there was a hint of peaceful talk in his words, but he just imagined a blue cloth-like magic weapon to protect his whole body, but the two men in Chinese clothes didn't answer at all, they snorted coldly, With a pull in the air, the two of them each pulled out a **** banner of Zhang Er, as if pulling it out of thin air.
When the black flag was unfurled, black air swept down from the sky. "Yin scale black flag!" Mr. Zhang Da didn't know that the magic weapon of hooking off the Tao had two sides, and seeing that the two people didn't answer, and directly sacrificed the powerful magic weapon, he knew that today's matter could not be good at all, so he immediately turned his heart away, With luck, he threw out a golden talisman covered with thunder patterns.
As soon as the Golden Light God Thunder Talisman was thrown, a thunderbolt in the sky turned into a golden thunder light hand, which shocked all the terrified traders in the whole street to the ground.
Wangwu faction majors in the talisman method. This talisman is the golden light **** thunder talisman in the Wangwu talisman Taoism. It is one of the most powerful talismans in the Wangwu talisman. Mr. Zhang Da also got it from his teacher. I can't refine it myself, it is one of the magic weapons at the bottom of the box, today I saw more than a dozen flying swords forming a formation, flying vertically and horizontally, and the black scaled black flag was coming menacingly, so Mr. Zhang Da had no choice but to throw the golden light **** thunder talisman out.
"Talk, sting" several times, but just as the golden light thunder exploded, two substantial black winged long snakes suddenly sprang out from the two black flags, these two ferocious long snakes With a shake of his body, a large expanse of blue thunder light was cold and air-conditioned, blasting away the big golden thunder light hand.
"Oops! This Yinscale Black Flag is so ruthless!"
Until this moment, Mr. Zhang Da realized that the ancestor of the deviating Tao had killed not one black-winged sea snake, but two. Among the black flags, the power of the instant eruption of the yin-scaled black flag was even higher than his teacher's Golden Light God Thunder Talisman. The fight of cultivators is more dangerous than the fight of swords and swords among warriors in the world. Mr. Zhang Da is too late to deal with him, and his attack is not as fierce as this person who has deviated from the Tao. Once the Golden Light God Thunder Talisman is broken, it is too late to release other magic weapons. This thought became the last thought in Mr. Zhang Da's mind.
As soon as the golden light disappeared and the black air rolled up, Mr. Zhang Da felt his whole body froze. The twisted eighteen flying swords pierced in an instant.
With just one twist, Mr. Zhang Da, who was standing in the middle of the street, was twisted into dozens of pieces of flying meat ~IndoMTL.com~ The vitality of the eighteen flying swords burned, and Mr. Zhang Da, who is somewhat famous on the northern road, unexpectedly If there is not even a trace of ghost left, it means that both body and spirit are destroyed!
When did mortals in the world see such a dangerous and cruel fighting method!
Without waiting for the two men in Chinese clothes who cast the Yinscale Black Flag to make a sound, they both shouted and walked cleanly. A street that was originally bustling with people suddenly became empty Incomparable.
"It's going to happen!"
Wang Zhiwei, who was far away from Zhiwei upstairs, also couldn't help trembling. After slowly closing the window, he forced himself to calm down and shouted, "Get the horse! Get the cart! Pack up the books, gold and silver." Xiruan! Inform everyone in the southeast of the city to evacuate to the west of the city!"
This well-informed and well-informed general manager of a large company has already seen that there is definitely a catastrophe about to happen here. Even the army may not be able to intervene in the struggle of monks, let alone their companies. Although there were still two streets away from the blocked street, Wang Zhiwei didn't feel safe at all.
In the west of the city, Wang Xingji also has property, and there are troops stationed nearby, making it the safest place in the city.
"These ascetics who judge life and death in an instant, who are they going to deal with with such great fanfare?"
The clerks of the big firm are extremely efficient, Wang Zhiwei's order was not long before the luggage was packed, and the carriage was ready, with such thoughts circling in his mind, he boarded the carriage with some trepidation At that time, Wang Zhiwei was stunned to see dozens of figures gathering towards that street at an alarming speed from all directions in the city.
