Chapter 106 Heavenly Sword Society
After leaving the Xia Mansion, the customs and customs of this martial arts world in the feudal era were gradually revealed in front of Chen Ji.
It was evening at this time, and the sun shone on Hongye Mountain, reflecting many ancient buildings hidden in the lush red-leaf maple forest.
The pavilions and pavilions are rolling and rolling, the mountains are green, and there is a magnificent temple with a red roof on the top of the mountain. The scenery is picturesque from any angle, and even the sky is extraordinarily blue.
The road on the ground is paved with a whole block of bricks and stones, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, all are flat stone roads.
Going down to the foot of the mountain, Chen Ji saw that such a road extended all the way to Yongkang City.
There are many pedestrians on the road, and there are also martial artists who come and go in a hurry, carrying knives and swords, and wearing bamboo hats and straw hats.
Chen Ji heard these warriors talking about deep pools, real dragons, sacrificial offerings, land gods and so on.
Some people mentioned Hongye Monk, guessing that the land **** might be an eminent monk who had achieved the unity of heaven and man as rumored thirty years ago.
The earthling Chen Ji was looking at the scenery, but the locals didn't care, and concentrated on drinking milk tea.
"Miss, strawberry milk tea is delicious, cold and sweet. Is this the immortal brew that immortals often drink?"
"My lord is listening, and I'm not ashamed."
Xia Shumin, who was holding the milkshake in her slender white hands, returned the words of the green bamboo outside the carriage, and quickly glanced at Chen Ji who was opposite.
She was biting the straw in her small mouth, and her ruddy face showed an expression of enjoyment.
Obviously like the milk tea in this earth fairyland.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Chen Ji and her sat in the gorgeously decorated carriage, and the two maids sat outside, but the curtain separating the inside and outside was not put down.
Chen Ji sat opposite her, admiring the scene of Miss Gu drinking a mango milkshake.
The milk tea that girls in the modern world love to drink is held in the hands of a daughter of Zhao Guo in the martial arts world, giving people a wonderful feeling of time travel and the contrast between ancient and modern.
"If you want to drink, I will buy it for you next time. There are various flavors."
Chen Ji laughed.
"Okay, okay, thank you, my lord, my lord is really...uh, miss, I was wrong."
Happy Cuizhu was glared at by her young lady.
Not reserved at all!
Chen Ji was about to say it's okay, when he suddenly noticed something and looked forward.
Xia Shumin bit the straw with her small mouth, holding the milk tea, and turned her head to look.
"Get out of the car, take off the hats and masks, hurry up, line up in a row for the boys to check before passing!"
"Let you hurry up, what are you dawdling about?!"
Ahead, there were a dozen strong men in uniforms holding bright swords and standing at the intersection, threatening passers-by to get off the carriage, taking off their veils and bamboo hats, and showing them their appearance before they could pass.
Chen Ji raised his eyebrows. Judging from the clothes of those people and the expressions of passers-by, these people with knives were obviously not from the government.
How dare you stop the road for inspection?
Moreover, it was stopped at the intersection of Hongye Mountain where many wealthy families lived in Yongkang City, and there were imperial troops stationed two or three miles away.
Xia Shumin on the opposite side also frowned, probably because she didn't know who they were.
But Lu Zhu lowered the curtain, obviously because he didn't want those people to see Miss's appearance.
The carriage moved on.
Soon came to this group of people, with more than a dozen large knives out of their sheaths, looking as if they were going to cut someone at any time.
"The people inside come down!"
The carriage of the Sheriff's House had no special signs, so it was stopped as a matter of course.
Chen Ji couldn't help but smile, the little lady's maid has a very hot temper.
However, it is useless.
A dozen men burst out laughing at her words, and raised their knives at her in a gesture of siege.
"Yo, which family's lady is this?"
One of them stood up, held a knife and looked up and down at the twin maids with a smile on his face, "The maid looks pretty good, I don't know how the young lady is, come down and show me to the brothers?"
"Come down!"
"Get out of the car and have a look!"
"What official lady, our Tiandao Society is still afraid of you?!"
Others followed suit, and after reporting the name of the Tiandao Society, many onlookers also stopped coming forward to help, and dared not speak out.
"Tian Dao Guild?"
Chen Ji looked at Xia Shumin who was facing him, who nodded and said in a low voice: "The Tiandao Society has helped many people, and the name of the leader Chu Nantian is like thunder in the Jianghu. With the Tianjue sword technique, and the Tianxia sword made by the master of Zhujian Pavilion in his hand, not many people in the Jianghu martial arts world dare to show his sharpness."
"It is said that Chu Nantian also came to Yongkang County and is investigating the origin of the book "Zhao Sanhen"."
Speaking of the last sentence, Xia Shumin's face flushed, and his expression was a little awkward.
Chen Ji suddenly realized: "I remember that "Zhao San's Love and Enmity Record" was written by a little lady named Xia, right? She was the first to fabricate and spread the saying about the land gods."
"Master~~~!" The little lady surnamed Xia said coquettishly.
"Hahaha."
Chen Ji smiled and flicked his long sleeves, and a powerful force flew out from the window of the carriage, and slammed on the head of the Tiandao Society who was closest to the carriage, sending him flying for more than ten meters, rolling and falling heavily on the ground.
The knife in his hand was shattered into pieces, flew out with a howl, and was inserted neatly and orderly at the bottom of his feet, as if offering him a stick of incense.
Now it's quiet.
All the members of the Heavenly Knife Society who were still noisy just now settled in place, their eyes were not very frightened, but they couldn't help swallowing, knowing that sitting in the carriage were masters they couldn't afford to provoke.
"snort!"
Cui Zhu was too lazy to argue with them at this time, raised his chin and snorted triumphantly at them, then raised his horsewhip, slapped it on the horse's buttocks, and let the carriage continue to move forward.
"Leave them alone?"
Chen Ji asked.
"What to do?" The little lady took a sip of the milk tea, her eyes turned from admiration to a little doubt.
"They blocked the way. As the daughter of the imperial court and county guard, you didn't report to the officials?"
Chen Ji couldn't figure out how Zhao's court managed the people and the rivers and lakes. He just thought that if this group of people dared to block the way for inspection, they should take care of it anyway?
Xia Shumin shook her head: "Young Master, I don't know, these things are too numerous to handle."
She paused, then said: "The Jianghu affairs are mostly managed by the Jianghu. The Tiandao Society has been listed as a demon sect by the court. Chu Nantian is notorious. If he continues to be domineering, there will always be Jianghu sects who will unite to deal with him. Now the court should be Worrying about how to dig him out from Beiyang County."
"Can the imperial court send a master to kill him?"
"Unless an ambush is planned, the supreme master like Chu Nantian cannot be easily killed."
Chen Ji probably understood.
A delicate balance is maintained between the court of the Zhao Kingdom and the Jianghu martial arts. People in the Jianghu generally do not seek trouble with ordinary people. people shot.
When encountering bad cases, such as murderers, the imperial court will send arresters, and most sects in Jianghu will agree to help arrest them out of morality.
This is just a simple overview, the actual complexity is far greater.
For example, the Tiandao Society, in Beiyang County, there are many wealthy merchants from aristocratic families secretly helping or joining, making Chu Nantian faintly have the potential to become a rebel against the separatist side.
It will be on the shelves after 12:00 p.m., I hope everyone will come and give a first order and support.
