Encountering knights in Xuanyuan Hill was as normal as encountering a bunch of rural nouveau riche in a high-end consumption center in the city. Besides the Lion Fortress, Xuanyuan Hill would definitely rank first among the cities with the highest concentration of knights among the human cities on the earth's surface.
Knights could sense each other's qi keenly. Almost when Bai Suxian recognized her "bestie" on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship, the people on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship also noticed Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie's boat.
At this moment, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were standing at the prow of the boat, drinking wine and wearing fluttering clothes. Plus their temperaments, one was a woman's woman while the other was a man's man's woman. When they stayed together, they looked like immortals.
There were 7 young people on the deck of the gaily-painting pleasure-ship, 4 males and 3 females. Besides the female who was holding a pipa in the middle, the other 6 were all black iron knights. Additionally, they were all young and had extraordinary qi fields.
When Zhang Tie was glancing at those women on the gaily-painting pleasure-ships and guessing who was Fang Xinyi, Bai Suxian had already flown off the boat as her battle qi surged all over like an aggressive hen. The moment she touched the water surface, she had charged at that gaily-painting pleasure-ship by treading on the water surface.
Besides sage-level knights, commoners couldn't fly. However, knights' battle strength would remain unchanged. It was already great that she could tread on the Golden Water River.
'This girl is too fierce!' Zhang Tie had not imagined that Bai Suxian dared launch a strike at this moment on the bank of the emperor's imperial city on the Golden Water River.
However, someone on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship knew Bai Suxian's temperament better than Zhang Tie. When Bai Suxian flew off, another person also flew off the gaily-painting pleasure-ship and landed on the river. Closely after that, she rushed towards Bai Suxian by treading on the waves and stopped Bai Suxian in the middle of the two gaily-painting pleasure-ships.
"Boom …"
The two women jumped into the air and collided with each other in the air. Right below them, the surging battle qis caused a 30-m high spray like detonating an alchemist's bomb. When the spray fell, a surging wave spread over the Goldenwater River, causing the tranquil Goldenwater River to surge at once.
Cries of surprise immediately rang out from the boats and boats in the distance.
The first 2-3 m high wave almost hit the opposite gaily-painting pleasure-ship and Zhang Tie's boat at the same time.
The dozens of meters long gaily-painting pleasure-ship started to rock in the Goldenwater River at once. Those youths on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship exerted their strength at the same time and stabilized the gaily-painting pleasure-ship at once. By contrast, the woman who was hugging the pipa was so scared that her face turned pale.
When the wave hit Zhang Tie's boat, Old Zhou changed his face at once. Before Old Zhou did anything, Zhang Tie had stomped onto the prow of the boat. Closely after that, a white wave rose from the bottom of the Goldenwater River like a blooming water lotus flower. Closely after that, the boat was lifted into the air by a huge hand of water and avoided the first wave steadily.
At the sight of this marvelous scene, another exclamation drifted from the boats and the other gaily-painting pleasure-ships in the distance. Someone shouted faintly, "Ahh, the Water God is here!"
Seeing this scene, Old Zhou's face turned a bit pale. However, he was still calm as he stood at the stern of the boat steadily while stroking the oars.
After the first wave, the nearest boat was over 300 m away from Zhang Tie's boat. There was only a yacht and a gaily-painting pleasure-ship within 100 m. The two boats were both very large. Therefore, although the people on the yacht and the gaily-painting pleasure-ship were flurried and rocked heavily, they didn't capsize. By contrast, when the first wave arrived, the height and power of the wave had already weakened a lot. Plus the experienced boatman, he directly turned the prow of the boat and faced the first wave with the stern. As a result, the surging wave made the boat a bit wet and pushed it over 100 m away.
Before Bai Suxian and that person from the gaily-painting pleasure-ship launched the second attack, a furious roar had drifted from the Horse Bridge, "Who dares be presumptuous on the Golden Water River?"
Following the angry roar was a knight in full armor. He jumped down from the Horse Bridge, stepped on the water, and shot over like an arrow.
After coming here by stepping on water waves, the knight directly stood on the water surface. After throwing a glance at Bai Suxian, the other woman and those knights from the gaily-painting pleasure-ship in the distance, he finally fixated onto Zhang Tie who was still standing at the prow of the boat while being dragged by a wave. Closely after that, he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Did you two attack him just now?" The knight asked Bai Suxian and the other woman.
The two women replied with a cold harrumph as they turned around at the same time, ignoring the knight's question.
"F * ck..." The earth knight became infuriated. After throwing a glance at Bai Suxian and the other woman, he didn't know what to say. Finally, he could only vent his anger on all the others at present, "All of you, follow me and cooperate with the investigation. If anyone dares to resist, kill him..."
After saying that, the earth knight threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie. In this earth knight's opinion, Zhang Tie was the most unfathomable one among all the others at present. As the saying went, experts would know whether they were real or not. Other earth knights might also be able to support the boat by controlling the river water with battle qi; even this earth knight could do it; however, they could never do it in such a casual way like Zhang Tie. Besides having an extremely powerful battle qi, Zhang Tie also needed to have a terrifying control over water. Only in this way could he achieve such a feat.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that this trip to the Golden Water River could come to an end in such a way. However, through this event, Zhang Tie realized that no matter how powerful a woman was, she was still a woman. If Bai Suxian and that woman were commoners instead of knights, Zhang Tie believed that they might still be wrestling with each other by scratching their faces or pulling their hair.
Speaking of that woman, Zhang Tie threw a glance at that woman carefully. Even though Bai Suxian didn't introduce her to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie had already known who that woman was.
To be honest, given her look, Fang Xinyi was not a peerless beauty that could make men fall head over heels for her at the sight of her. She could only be as beautiful as Bai Suxian. However, her skin was very white, even whiter than Bai Suxian. Additionally, she had a very special temperament. At the first sight of her, Zhang Tie felt that he was watching a tender rose lying on a piece of ice and frost, which aroused a sense of pity.
No wonder Bai Suxian's dad was attracted by her. Such a temperament was very attractive to some old men who had a special taste. Even Zhang Tie's heart was moved by her.
When Zhang Tie threw a glance at Fang Xinyi, Fang Xinyi also threw a glance at Zhang Tie who was standing at the prow of the boat.
Only after throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian had become intense at once. She hurriedly moved her body and blocked Zhang Tie's vision in case that Zhang Tie was robbed by someone else.
Fang Xinyi turned her head once again.
At this moment, two more knights arrived here by stepping on water and surrounded them with that earth knight. At the same time, they were glaring at them while putting their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists. Although the other people on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship were unwilling to do that, they could only let the gaily-painting pleasure-ship turn around and move towards the wharf on the bank of Horse Bridge.
"Old Zhou, let's call it a day. Please take me there too. Remember what I've told you. If you want to have a try, come for me in Fire-Dragon Prefecture, Youzhou Province!" After leaving some words to Old Zhou, Zhang Tie loosened his battle qi. Closely after that, Old Zhou's boat landed on the surface of the river steadily with a spray.
Bai Suxian returned to the boat by stepping on water. After that, she watched Fang Xinyi returning to the gaily-painting pleasure-ship with gleaming eyes as she swore in a low voice, "B * tch!"
...
In the gate tower at the bridgehead of Horse Bridge, Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and the other knights on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship were taken into different rooms and kept under surveillance for the time being. Old Zhou and some irrelevant personnel on the gaily-painting pleasure-ship were also taken ashore for interrogation.
After glancing around the room, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, 'It seems that I'm not the first guest here.'
"Oh, I forgot to ask you. Who's the guardian of the Horse Bridge?"
"They're earth branch guards, also called Zodiac Guards, one of the top 9 ministers in Taixia Country. They're responsible for guarding the 12 bridges over Golden Water River and the gate of the emperor's imperial city!" Bai Suxian threw a bashful glance at Zhang Tie, "Do you blame me? At the sight of that vixen, I couldn't stand it anymore..."
"It's okay. Everyone has impulses. Let's take a rest here..." Zhang Tie waved his hand generously, "It's good that you didn't suffer any loss!"
Bai Suxian immediately revealed a sweet smile …
...
The fact proved that women, especially beautiful women, especially beautiful women with good backgrounds, would always gain some special preferential treatment in this male-dominated world.
Two women were fighting on the Golden Water River. One was the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion; the other was a knight apprentice of Qionglou Pavilion, one of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country. After confirming that it didn't cause any severe consequence, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were only kept here for a few more hours. After being warned for a short while, they were released.
All the knights on the side of the two women, including Zhang Tie, were also "punished" by the earth branch guards and kept here for a few hours.
According to the regulation, if a knight broke the security and started a fight in Xuanyuan Hill, he or she would be imprisoned for 3 months; in the worst case, he or she could even be killed on the spot.
Such a punishment was almost not a punishment at all.
When they walked out of the gate tower at the bridgehead of the Horse Bridge, it had just turned dark. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian then met Fang Xinyi and the other knights outside the gate tower.
At the sight of each other, Fang Xinyi and Bai Suxian uttered a cold harrumph before ignoring each other.
As Fang Xinyi's event was related to her father, Lord Guangnan, it was a family scandal for Bai Suxian. However, as for Fang Xinyi, it seemed that she didn't want to expose it to the public no matter what the animosity between her and Lord Guangnan was. Therefore, it seemed that the two people didn't know the reason why they fought each other until now.
All the young knights on the side of Fang Xinyi felt unhappy. In the eyes of those young knights, when they were listening to Master Cai's pipa playing on the Golden Water River, a woman suddenly rushed towards them like a lunatic. If Fang Xinyi didn't stop her timely, their gaily-painting pleasure-boat might have been sunk by that lunatic woman. As a result, they became a bit messy.
The gaily-painted gaily-boat was not a big deal; face mattered. Additionally, as the "victim", they were locked in the detention room of knights of Horse Bridge by the Horse Guards of the Imperial Guards of Xuanyuan Hill. They were not released until the dark. Therefore, nobody had any interest in it at all.
At the sight of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian once again, an arrogant guy among those furious young knights sneered.
"The princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion is really domineering. You even dare launch a strike on the Golden Water River. However, we're in Xuanyuan Hill; not a remote place like Zhaozhou Province. A lord's mansion is nothing here. If Lord Guangnan's Mansion really wants to show off its power, why don't it pacify the barbarians in the south border and build another military region in the south border? Why do you show off your battle force in such a prosperous place?"
After hearing this, Fang Xinyi on the side of those young knights looked distant. Bai Suxian raised her eyebrows and was going to lose her temper. However, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he shook his head and pulled Bai Suxian away.
No matter what, it was they who launched a strike first. Therefore, they were in the wrong. It was normal for them to complain about it. Therefore, Zhang Tie just ignored it.
After realizing that Zhang Tie didn't want to care about it, Bai Suxian didn't speak anymore. After throwing a glare at that young knight, she followed Zhang Tie away obediently.
Watching Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian's backs silently, Fang Xinyi's eyes flashed with a strange light. As Bai Suxian's bestie, nobody knew Bai Suxian's temperament better than her. Since she knew Bai Suxian, it was her first time to see Bai Suxian being so docile in front of a man.
On this occasion, Zhang Tie was very generous. However, Zhang Tie forgot that one's generosity and generosity would always be regarded as timid and foolish by others.
As for many people in Xuanyuan Hill, an earth knight might not be able to control the overall situation in Xuanyuan Hill.
"I've long heard that the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion is famous for her beauty. With an earth knight on her side, you even look down on the top 7 sects of Taixia Country..." Another voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Tie, who was going to leave, suddenly stopped his footsteps...
