Huashan female sword god

Chapter 386
Huashan is only [-] miles away from Chang'an. They set off early in the morning, and arrived in the evening of the next day. They planned to rest in Chang'an City for a night, but they didn't realize that the city gates were closed and it was already a curfew.

Ever since the Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty divided the north and the south, Chang'an City was the most important city on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. There was a curfew all the year round, and the law and order were strict. However, it is rare to close the city gates and prohibit entry and exit before the sun has fully set. It's almost an hour and a half to push.

Of course, since the city was closed, they couldn't force their way in, that would be too arrogant, and they didn't want to cause trouble, so they took advantage of the dark to find another place outside the city.

About three or four miles to the south of Chang'an City, there is Ziwu Town. Those who have gone to Chang'an City will not linger, and those who leave Chang'an City and go south will not stop for a rest just after leaving the gate. This position is actually quite awkward, so that the scale is always average and it is difficult to develop.

Ziwu Town is a small town with only a few dozen households. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a town, but it is actually a village. There are no high walls and thick walls. The detachment guards stationed and inspected, with a dignified atmosphere, the guards interrogated, and after Liang Wuzheng showed his "Huashan's unique skills", he was allowed to enter the town for a short rest.

The government of all dynasties has polarized the management and control of the people in the market and the people in the rivers and lakes. It basically follows this rule: that is, the control of the former is stricter, but if you are far away from your residence, you need to get a witness. However, for the latter, the latter is mainly to be appeased, walking freely, with few constraints, and this is how the term "traveling in the rivers and lakes" comes into being. The difference can be described as huge - of course, this is not absolute. He used to bloodily suppress and forcefully rule the forces in the Jianghu. At that time, he was the well-deserved boss of the imperial court.

And martial arts is the biggest difference between Jianghu warriors and ordinary people in the city. If you can show off your skills, you will be considered a Jianghu person.Right now, they are interrogating again, checking the identity badges of Huashan disciples, and showing off their skills before they are willing to let them go. The guards around Chang'an City are heavily guarded, which shows that it is normal. I don't know what happened. I asked the people in the town, but only a few words , refused to talk too much, only said that martial law has been around for three or four months.

There is only one small inn in the town, which is next to the archway of the town, and you can see it without asking. After entering, I found that the rooms are small and the food is poor, and the conditions are really not good. I have no choice but to settle here first.

Not long after they arrived, another group of Jiang Hu people came, but they were the swordsmen of the Xie family who uniformed gray clothes and carried swords when they were walking outside. There were two of them, one was a middle-aged swordsman and the other was a young swordsman.

The middle-aged swordsman had never seen him before, but the other young swordsman was no stranger to him. It was Xie Ying who went to Huashan a few years ago to find Dugu Wuchong to avenge his shame, but was repelled by You Xingye.I haven't seen him for a few years, but now he can be considered to have condensed his sword energy, and he has truly become a swordsman from the Xie family.

When they entered the inn, the four of You Xingye were still eating in the lobby, so they could see each other.You Xingye recognized an acquaintance, so he waved and greeted without hesitation.

The two booked the room, looked around in the hall to find a table and waited for food, when they heard the greeting, they looked at her suspiciously, hesitated a little, after approaching, Xie Ying sized her up a few times, then frowned and asked, "Are you... Miss Ling from Huashan?"

When we met back then, we covered our faces with white gauze, but today there is no such thing. The rule that the disciples of Baihua Valley need to cover their faces when they go out has long been thrown out of the sky by You Xingye. If you want to wear it, you can wear it. She was no longer forced.Xie Ying has not seen her real face yet, so although she guesses, she is not sure.

You Xingye smiled and said: "That's right, that's me. I have a predestined relationship with your Xie family. I met your new Patriarch a while ago, and today I ran into you again. Come and join us at the table."

The new owner is naturally Xie Qifeng.

Although he had a great reputation in the past, the name of the Xie Family Sword God was also inherited early, but that was mainly obtained by taking on the challenges of the old Sword God. When Mujima came back, he officially took over the head of the family.

For more than a year, the conflict with Tianzun Dao has come to an end, Xie Qifeng also stays at Xie's house, quite low-key, the most publicized thing is probably a while ago to challenge Tianzun, but this matter is also anticlimactic, and ultimately did not happen, Tianzun didn't respond to this at all, let alone show up to compete, Xie Qifeng waited in Hangzhou City until the appointed time and didn't see anyone, so he went back to Shenjian Villa, and the matter was settled hastily.

"It's that You Xingye who helped outdated Junior Sister in West Lake some time ago."

Xie Ying whispered an explanation to the middle-aged swordsman next to him.

The swordsmen of the Xie family have always been unfamiliar with others, but probably because of this incident, even if the two of them didn't like Shi Feiyan's master's disciple, even if they didn't agree with You Xingye, the sword god's nickname, they should still appreciate it, although it was still His expression was calm, but he didn't refuse.

The leader of the two was the middle-aged swordsman named Xie Fan. They appeared here, of course they also entered Shu to go to the Tang Sect.

Speaking of which, although the Tang Sect and the Xie family belong to the four great aristocratic families, they do not actually have close friendships, but since Huashan can receive invitations, it is not surprising that the Xie family is among the invited ones.

After introducing the two parties and finding out the purpose of their visit, You Xingye smiled and said: "The news I got was sent to Huashan by Bai Jiesheng, let's listen to him, the Tang Sect spent money to hand over this matter to them to convey it." Now, what about you? Could it be that there is still a Baijie who dares to approach Shenjian Villa?"

Xie Yingdao: "Baijielou invited Luoyang Sword King to send a message to Shenjian Villa."

You Xingye said: "So that's the case. However, since there are no Baijie students to go to Xie's house, I'm curious if there are any Baijie students from Shaolin Temple and Songshan Sword Sect to inform."

Xie Ying said: "Mount Song is still within a hundred miles of Shenjian Villa, so naturally no Bai Jiesheng dares to approach it."

The difference between these two families and Shenjian Villa is that they all rely on Songshan to establish their sects. Since Baijielou has made up its mind to avoid Xie's family, it will naturally not go to Songshan, at least clearly not. As for It's not clear if Bai Jiesheng sneaked up there secretly, but this remark inevitably lost its prestige, as if the Xie family was not deterred enough, and people still had the courage to obey others, so they didn't say it.

Although they were close by three points, most of Xie's family were taciturn after all, the two of them talked very little, and they didn't have any intention of chatting with You Xingye.

On the road the next day, two groups of people walked together.

At the entrance of Ziwu Valley, it was discovered that a checkpoint was set up at the entrance of the valley, and it was released after some interrogation. Since then, similar situations have been experienced twice in Ziwu Valley, which is hundreds of miles away.After two days like this, they passed through the narrowest section of road in the southern section of Ziwu Valley, and when they were about to leave Ziwu Valley, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and there was a movement of a large number of people.Galloping over, it turned out to be a grain team. At a glance, there were at least 2000 people, most of whom were peasants who transported grain, and about [-]% were grain guards with guns and weapons.

Seeing that it was a food transport unit, they hurriedly avoided it, so as not to be regarded as an enemy and cause conflicts.

A food team of several thousand people is already a large caravan for merchants, but it is only a small food team for an army of tens of thousands, but no matter how small it is, it transports military food. From what I have seen and heard along the way, I know that not only martial law has been imposed but also that it has been under martial law for a long time. During this period, there must have been many small food teams like this, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of large food teams.

The so-called three armies go first without using food and grass. With such a large-scale dispatch, I am afraid that the two countries will soon resume war next week.
