"This is Yinzhou Yaochi's man. The Daluo School in the seven provinces of Nanzhou in the south and the Yaochi school in the five provinces of Yinzhou in the west were both rather large sects. At the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world was in chaos. These sects had hundreds of thousands of disciples in every province. There were dojos and dojos everywhere. Even the government had to bow to them. "
Chi Zhuiyang closed his eyes and his ears twitched as he suddenly said.
"These people haven't come up yet. Brother Chi, how do you know that they're from Yaochi school? "Hong Yi was stunned.
"Listen to the sound." Chi Zhuiyang's ears twitched again, like a mouse coming out of its hole to investigate. "These people's footsteps are slow but urgent. While walking, his calves protruded outwards, his thumbs strenuously went down first, and the last four fingers went up. It's like flowing water, it's obviously the Yaochi school's Nine Zigzag Consecutive Kicks. "
"Brother Chi's hearing is actually so sharp. You're truly observant and attentive." Hong Yi couldn't help but click his tongue.
"The Yaochi school is a wealthy school in Yinzhou. There are many female disciples in the school, and every one of them is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Yinzhou. They are all proud and arrogant. The culture in Yinzhou values martial arts more than literature, and the girls have to practice martial arts for self-defense. So, it's not strange for them to be so arrogant, "Chi Zhuiyang said.
"The customs of different places are so different? If this had happened in Jade Capital. It's not appropriate for a woman to shout like this. "Hong Yi was comparing the two.
"Brother Hong hasn't seen the girls from our Yunmeng Tianlong School. They're the real deal. Even in his sleep, he always kept his sword and bow by his side. His steel-soled archery boots could kill within five steps. In comparison, the disciples of Yaochi school are too gentle. "Chi Zhuiyang chuckled.
"Yaochi school seems to support Prince Kazuo …" Hong Yi suddenly thought. There were three major powers in the imperial court. The first was naturally the Crown Prince, the second was Prince Heqing, and the third was Prince Yu. The wealthy people of Yin Province basically supported Prince Heqing. A few years ago, several Yin Province merchants seemed to want to support the Crown Prince. In the end, the tribute was intercepted and killed. This was all secretly ordered by Prince Heqing. It was killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Right now, the entire Yin Province was filled with Prince Heqing's trusted followers.
All of Yin Province's financial resources supported Prince Heqing, allowing him to win over many people and become one of the most important factions in the fight for the throne.
While they were talking, the sound of footsteps came up the stairs. From the gap between the screens, Hong Yi saw a few young women in tight clothes, holding longswords in sharkskin sheaths, and wearing arrow boots. They were walking on the ground, making loud noises.
Hong Yi looked at the archery boots these women were wearing and knew that they were not simple.
These archery boots had thin steel soles, the inside was wrapped in soft silk, and the outside was made of tanned elk skin. It was breathable and very comfortable to wear. But when it came to kicking people, it was very powerful.
These were the kind of boots that only high-ranking generals could wear in the army. They were exclusive to the army and could not be copied by the common people.
But now, on the feet of this woman, it was obviously a woman's style. It was both beautiful and practical. Obviously, it was made by herself.
Wearing longswords and arrow boots was a clear violation of the Da Qian law.
Because of the Da Qian law, only those with scholarly honors could carry a sword. These women obviously did not have scholarly honors. If they could not even enter the examination hall, how could they have scholarly honors?
"Damn, the Da Qian law forbidding martial arts and weapons has become a piece of paper." On his way out of Jade Capital, Hong Yi had seen many things. Only then did he understand the saying, "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
"Buddy, what I said. Do you hear me? Get rid of everyone on the top floor. We'll pay for it. Later, our young mistress will come over for dinner! If you let random people make the young mistress unhappy, be careful of your heads! "
At this moment, the women spoke again, sweeping their eyes across the private rooms upstairs.
At the same time, two women moved. Ignoring the waiter's pleas, they pushed open the screens, revealing the people eating inside.
The people eating were about to argue. Clang! Clang!
Long swords were unsheathed and placed on their necks.
In an instant, the people eating in the private rooms upstairs were all chased away.
Hong Yi and Chi Zhuiyang looked at each other. They did not expect this. These women were even more domineering than the officials. They chased people away for a meal. This was the first time they had seen such arrogant people, especially women.
Hearing footsteps approaching his private room, Hong Yi placed his chopsticks on the table. "Remove the screens!"
"Yes!"
The five exiled soldiers of the 'Five Elders of the White Cloud', who were originally standing and serving at the side, naturally did not dare to delay when they heard Hong Yi's order. They quickly stepped forward and removed the screens. The two women who chased the people away happened to be seven or eight steps away.
The two women were not bad looking. However, their eyebrows were high, and their eyes were squinting. They gave off an air of arrogance, as if they were used to being domineering.
"You guys leave too. Our young mistress is coming for a meal." One of the women was slightly stunned when she saw Hong Yi remove the screens. Then, she did not speak. Instead, she looked at Hong Yi and the others with her phoenix eyes for a while before speaking. She waved her hand, but did not draw her sword immediately.
"Who are you people?" Hong Yi also looked at them and asked.
"That is none of your business. Please step aside. We will pay for this meal. Get up, pack your things and leave. We will be fine. "The other woman said coldly.
"Are you the officials or the army?" Hong Yi asked.
"Neither. You are so long-winded. Quickly step aside and go downstairs. " At this moment, the women who were standing at the staircase also walked up. They also looked at Hong Yi and the others and then waved their hands.
"We are neither the officials nor the army. You have broken the Da Qian law by wearing a sword and arrow boots. Do you know that? "Hong Yi suddenly said through gritted teeth." But I will not argue with you today. You should not disturb my meal like this. Left and right, remove their swords and throw them out. "
"Yes!"
The "Five Elders of the White Cloud" looked at each other, but did not dare to disobey Hong Yi's order. Suddenly, they pounced forward.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Hearing Hong Yi's sudden change in expression, these women's reactions were also extremely quick. They immediately drew their swords, which were actually forged from glossy black steel.
Da Qian steel was also divided into different grades. The sixth grade was iron blades and swords, the fifth grade was steel blades and swords, the fourth grade was fine steel, the third grade was Xuangang, the second grade was rebar, and the first grade was divine weapons with three patterns.
Experts like the Cold-Blooded Thirteen Shadows only used long blades made of fine steel, not Xuangang. A Xuangang sword would cost at least a hundred taels of silver.
However, these women were all Martial Warriors. Although they had drawn their swords, they were no match for the five top Martial Masters of the White Cloud's Five Elders. The difference in their strength was too great, and they had suddenly attacked. In an instant, their blades were snatched away by their bare hands. At the same time, their hands were twisted, and they fell to the floor one by one. However, the tendons in their feet had been kicked, and they could not stand up.
"How dare you? Do you want to die? Our Yaochi school will not let you go. "
These women fell to the floor, their eyes fixed on Hong Yi, and shouted fiercely.
"What a spoilsport." Hong Yi shook his head, and said to Chi Zhuiyang, "You can't even enjoy a meal in a golden millet. Let's go. I thought the Daluo was arrogant enough, but I didn't expect the Yaochi school to be even more arrogant and despotic than it. The destruction of the school is not far away. "
After saying that, he stood up and walked down the stairs.
…
Back at the inn, Hong Yi and the others packed their things, loaded their luggage into the carriage, and set off. They rode on horses and led the mastiff, and walked on the ancient road of the Nanzhou.
"This is really strange. The world is still peaceful, and there is no turmoil. Those martial arts sects are more arrogant than the other, and this Yaochi school of the Yaochi school is actually this domineering? " On the way, looking at the green grass beside the ancient road of the Nanzhou, and the green mountains in the distance, Hong Yi was a little confused.
"This is not strange. Yinzhou Yaochi is attached to the power of the princes in the imperial court. They have money and power, and after a long time, they are outside. The sky is high, and the emperor is far away, so naturally they are more arrogant. Brother Hong, outside is not Jade Capital. It is under the feet of the emperor, the capital of a country, and everything follows the rules. In Jade Capital, even the princes and young masters don't dare to mess around. But outside, a small relative of the county magistrate can do as he pleases, rape, and loot. No one can do anything about it. Jade Capital is peaceful, but the outside is in deep water, so it is said to be fake peace. "Chi Zhuiyang said with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad." Hong Yi looked at the sky, "It is getting late. There are no shops within a few hundred miles of this ancient road of the Nanzhou. We will have to sleep outdoors today. When it is dark, we will surround the carriage. Find a place to light a bonfire, and make do for the night. We will reach Shuiyang in the south before dark tomorrow, and we will almost reach our destination. "
The sky gradually darkened. On the ancient road of the Nanzhou, there was no one. Only the grass swayed with the wind in the dark night.
In the distance, the Black Wood Mountain stretched on. Many black shadows on the mountain peaks were like huge demons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, making people feel a chill in their hearts. The mountain wind whistled in the distance, and it also sounded like the shrill cry of demons.
"This piece of flat land is not bad. We will sleep here tonight."
Hong Yi found a piece of flat land in the middle of the road. It was not surrounded by mountains and was very flat. He stopped and had people surround the five carriages. In the middle, there was a roaring bonfire, and a copper kettle was set up to boil water and stew meat.
Beside the bonfire, there were a few large military tents made of cowhide.
Outside the tents, there were medicinal powders made of realgar, honeysuckle, and other herbs. These were used to drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants. There were many poisonous insects and mosquitoes in the south, especially in the summer. Even on the main road, it was not safe.
These were the supplies sent by Wu Yuansheng and Hou Qingchen.
Although it was night time, and they were in the middle of nowhere, and there were rumors of demons roaming around, Hong Yi's group of seventeen people and many experts were gathered together. They were not afraid or panicked.
Hong Yi's five soldiers were eating meat and drinking the yellow millet wine that they bought in town. The lively discussion added to the lively atmosphere.
The three Black Sparrow Hawk brothers and the five White Cloud Elders gathered together to talk about Jianghu matters.
Hong Yi sat quietly, Running The Spirit. Chi Zhuiyang, Mu The Younger, and Shen Tiezhu were all focused on practicing martial arts.
"Hmm? There are people coming from that side? "
Just as Hong Yi was about to eat, wash up, and go to sleep in the tent. Suddenly, the sound of carriages and horses came from the road in the distance. The sound was like thunder, rolling and shaking. There were many torches, and it seemed that there was a team of dozens or hundreds of people.
The sound of the horses' hooves and wheels made the kettle on the bonfire overflow.
In the night wind, Hong Yi's nose and mouth faintly smelled the fragrance of cosmetics.
When they were three hundred steps away, Hong Yi could see clearly. Among the torches, there were more than ten carriages. Next to the carriages, all of them were young men in black clothes with swords. They were all good-looking.
However, these young men seemed to be servants, and the real masters were a group of women. These women were wearing green clothes and silver capes. They all had arrow boots and long swords, the same clothes that the women from Yaochi school wore during the day at Golden Millet Tower.
The rest of the carriages were all pulled by "Treasure Yellow Colts". The carriages were all painted red, inlaid with gold and silver leaf, and installed with gauze and exquisite purple bamboo curtains. On the top of the carriage, there was a big crank umbrella. Beside it, there were some men and old servants carrying kettles to serve. The wheels of the carriages were also wrapped with thick cotton cloth to prevent vibration.
In the wind, there was a rich fragrance coming from the carriages. It was obvious that there were spices burned in the carriages.
This kind of outfit was even more stylish than the nobles of Jade Capital.
The carriages were equipped with a big crank umbrella. This was the standard that only Wang Ye could have when he went on patrol.
This group of carriages consisted of over a hundred people. After walking for a hundred steps, they clearly saw Hong Yi and the others who had set up camp in the middle of the road. The leader in front shouted and the group slowly came to a stop.
A lazy voice came from the first carriage, "Who is blocking the road in front? Lv Yi, Wan Yin, go and take a look. "
Then, two women walked forward and looked at Hong Yi and the others from afar, and suddenly screamed. "Miss, it's them. In the day at Huang Liang Restaurant, they snatched our swords and kicked our people. "
"Oh? Is that so? "
The lazy voice said, "Uncle Qu, they must have some martial arts. Let's take them down and interrogate them."
"Yes, Miss."
Beside the first carriage, an old man wearing a green Buddhist robe bowed and answered. Suddenly, he waved his hand. Clang! A shiny long sword automatically unsheathed, and danced over like lightning.
"A Daoist technique that can control objects?"
Hong Yi quietly used his spirit and escaped. As the sword flew over, a Divine Soul grabbed it from behind. It flew quickly, like a bird in the forest, or an eagle in the sky, swooping down from the sky.
Looking at the momentum of the sword, it was actually going to spin in an instant, cut the tendons of the hands and legs, and incapacitate them, then capture and interrogate them.
Facing the momentum of the sword, Hong Yi immediately used his spirit to condense moonlight. It was the color of glass, emitting endless silver light. A ferocious steel trident formed in his hand, and against the momentum of the flying sword, he stabbed at the sword spirit behind him.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a surprised cry came from the opposite team of carriages.
However, Hong Yi's trident had already stabbed the spirit, and the spirit immediately let out a painful cry. With a bang, it scattered, and its thoughts scattered, and the flying sword fell to the ground.
