Sword of Coming

The Red Light Town is surrounded by a high wall. Chen Ping entire group needed to enter the town from the north gate. An accident happened soon afterwards. The wall gate had sharp-armored guards and they needed to submit a residential document before they could enter. Chen Ping was dull on the spot, he didn’t even know the residential document.

Ah Liang, who got a gold ingot early, smiled and took out a crumpled official document from his arms. After passing the inspection, this guy didn’t even need the donkey. He swaggered into the city by himself, and reached the wall door. Don’t forget to wave goodbye to the people who looked at each other in blank dismay. Li Huai yelled at him and threatened to kill the white donkey. Ah Liang laughed and left.

Zhu He was also helpless. Before leaving the town, Old Ancestor not at all specifically explained the matter. In fact, apart from his age, Zhu He didn’t know anything about Heaven and Earth outside, and was not much better than Chen Ping. As for the matter of traveling in mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping, it’s even more so. Far inferior to the poor young people of kiln worker origin. Zhu He had an idea, thinking that having money can make ghosts grind, it must be a universal truth, he must secretly stuff silver in a guard, but the young soldier directly held the spear against his chest. , Sternly reprimanded, and the good-tempered Zhu He was also a little angry, Fifth Realm Martial Artist, if he is enlisted in the army, he can’t even do it with a middle-level general with a hand of 4, but when Zhu He is about to argue with that person, Zhu Lu gently took his arm and reminded softly: “Father, our Great Li Dynasty military law has distinct rewards and punishments, and it has a characteristic, either extremely light or extremely heavy, so don’t conflict with these soldiers, let’s The old 1000 surname is not a good advantage.”

Zhu He frowned, coldly snorted, after all, still choose-the people do not fight with the officials.

Zhu Lu whispered comforted: “Father, let Old Ancestor help you find an official identity in the future. With the protection talisman, coupled with your skills, I believe that you will soon be able to emerge, where you need to be angry.”

Zhu He strode away, nodded, glanced back at the gatekeeper, and said with a smile: “I really answered the old saying, the king is good to see, the kid is hard to deal with.”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping thought for a while, and said slowly: “There is really no way but to bypass Red Light Town. We are sleeping outside tonight. We can hire someone to help us buy everything we need. The real big trouble is that we can’t go. For the water transport terminal in the town, the established itinerary will need to be revised. The original more then 200 li waterway, taking a boat south along the Embroidery River will be much easier than walking, and there is no need to detour.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing an azure official uniform walked out of the city gate quickly, looked carefully at Chen Ping entire group, and finally looked at Zhu He, cup one fist in the other hand and asked: “Under Cheng Sheng Now, he is the relay station deputy of the pillow station in Red Light Town. I dare to ask Zhu He Zhu Mister from Dragon Spring County?”

Zhu He remained silent, expression alert.

The man who claimed to be a relay station deputy said heartily said with a smile: “You Patriarch once sent a letter directly to our Lord County Magistrate. I roughly talked about your itinerary and let us Lord County Magistrate do our best as a landlord, apart From this, you have letters and letters, and we have arrived at our Pillow Station. I made a special trip to vacate the room for you a decade ago. I can only say that it is clean and tidy. I would never say how good it is. I hope you will forgive me. , Don’t file a complaint at Lord County Magistrate, otherwise the county lord is not happy, I am afraid I will lose my job tomorrow.”

The pillow post suddenly remembered something, “If Zhu Mister doesn’t believe me, I can go to the post house and call someone. This person is from Good Fortune Street in Dragon Spring County, saying that he is still the veteran of the Superintendent’s Office. The government officer, including a letter from Great Li Dynasty Capital, he personally helped the government office boss bring it, saying that it would be handed over to a Young Master named Lin Shouyi.”

Lin Shouyi took a few steps forward, his face filled with the arrogance of Aristocratic Family children, and asked: “I am Dragon Spring County Lin Shouyi, dare to ask Cheng relay station deputy, what is his name?”

The servant girl Zhu Lu was a little startled. Lin Shouyi at this time was not the same as the taciturn and cold boy in the impression.

Li Baoping and Li Huai’s eyes crossed for a moment, and each was gently nodded.

The relay station deputy Cheng Sheng’s speech is not stagnant, “If I remember correctly, it should be Tang Shutou, 40 years old, our Great Li Dynasty Mandarin is not very smooth, um, this person especially likes to drink, that is wine …”

Lin Shouyi nodded, casually asked: “Relay station deputy has been waiting for us at the north gate these days?”

The man said with a smile: “Although I really want to be nodded, I really don’t have the skin. In fact, the pillow station is located in the north of Red Light Town, not far from here. 2 Come to the high hill near the town, there is a beacon, I He had a good relationship with Suichang, so he asked him to help stare at the downhill post road to the north. As soon as he saw the silhouette of Young Master Lin Zhu Mister, he asked the beacon under his hand to enter the city and notify me.”

Lin Shouyi suddenly stopped talking, turned his head and looked at Chen Ping, who was nodded.

Zhu He smiled and thanked: “Master Cheng has bothered.”

The relay station deputy hurriedly waved his hand and said: “I can’t be called an adult, but this lowly one of a donkey in front of a horse and a horse behind. It is really hard to be elegant. I will not talk about it for now. Go and tell the guards, I believe you can enter our town soon.”

The deputy relay station belongs to the Great Li Dynasty Imperial Court, but can’t be called Imperial Court commanders. This type of subordinate staff is rateless, and does not belong to the rank officials. It is a huge gap.

Soon the relay station deputy led them to the doorway of the city wall. Although the guards let them go, their expressions were still not good.

The relay station deputy took the lead to walk through the particularly shady city wall doorway, turned his head and explained in a low voice to Zhu He: “They are all veterans who have retreated from the border battlefield. They are not very capable and have a deadly temper. Sometimes even our county honors. The adults have nothing to do with them, Zhu Mister should not follow them lower oneself to somebody’s level.”

Zhu He had no experience in the arena, but he still understood the simple and profound truths, so he did not answer.

They passed by a cold shop, and young men kept coming and going, and the shop was lit up with white light from time to time.

Li Huai couldn’t move his feet, Zhu He couldn’t help but look at it two more times, and soon lost interest.

The deputy relay station said: “That’s a sword shop, and other weapons are occasionally sold.”

Lin Shouyi asked curiously: “Does the government leave it alone? Are you afraid of armed fights with the 100 surnames?”

The relay station deputy said with a smile: “The government doesn’t care about these things, but as long as something goes wrong, it will be very strict. If the county government has insufficient manpower, the county lord can mobilize all Jianghu Sect within its jurisdiction to help resolve disputes.”

The Great Li Dynasty is a style of martial arts. There are many knight-errants who wield swords and sabers to travel 4 squares. There are not only to be fastidious but incompetent, but also the children of the Aristocratic Family, the Great Li Dynasty Imperial Court prohibits the sale of all weapons. , But for ordinary swords with mediocre craftsmanship, most of them turn a blind eye, mainly depending on the attitude of the local officials. If it is a pure reading seed origin, most of it must be strictly prohibited. If it is a Martial Artist origin, ten eight-nine will be open. Of course, the most important weapons of the country, such as strong bows, hard crossbows, and sophisticated armors, must not be sold anywhere.

Fengsui, inn, bazaars, wine shops, brothel bars, etc., Red Light Town has everything and is very lively, and the streets are like weaving people. Compared with Chen Ping’s home town, it is much more prosperous and noisy. There are various shops on both sides of the street. Dazzling, shouting one after another.

After chatting all the way, after an incense stick of time, I came to the Pillow Station, and soon there was a handyman in the post house to take away the white donkey and horses. The relay station deputy Cheng Sheng really arranged a post house for them. There are both A, B, etc., he did not Admittedly, they left the 2 post houses to Zhu He and let them arrange their own.

Under Chen Ping’s arrangement, Li Baoping and Zhu Lu live in a Class A post, Zhu He lives in a Class A post, and he and Li Huai Lin Shouyi each live in a Class B post. If Ah Liang comes back, you can do whatever you want Choosing a post house to live together, of course, with Ah Liang’s temperament, he would definitely ask if he could choose Zhu Lu. It is estimated that when the time comes, Zhu Lu’s eyes will be cut.

In the twilight, after everyone put their bags and parcels together, they gathered in the spacious A-class post in Zhu He. The relay station deputy Cheng Sheng soon delivered a stack of letters and letters, and after delivery, they smiled and said goodbye. Just shout it, and also said that the night market in Red Light Town is a small reputation in the south of Great Li Dynasty, and there must be a chance to see.

Lin Shouyi has one, Li Baoping has the most, with 3, and even Chen Ping has one, Li Huai 2 has no hands, and finally found Zhu Lu who is in a similar situation, child said with a smile: “Fortunately, we both have the same disease.”

Zhu Lu turned a deaf ear, walked to the small pillow post house near the window, and the winding path was deep, creating a kind of deep courtyard with the meaning of Aristocratic Family garden. Looking from here, it is a small palm-size. In the lake, there are bloated and fat red and yellow koi.

Lin Shouyi’s family letter only has a piece of letter paper, not a few words. The young man took a deep breath and put the so-called family letter back into the envelope. The complexion was gloomy and left the post house. Five fingers clenched the envelope tightly, except for more than 5 handwritings. In a perfunctory running script, there is also a 30 silver taels of Great Li Dynasty’s largest bank banknote in the envelope.

The boy strode back to the post house, closed the door gently, and put the envelope on the table, complexion ashen, his chest undulating.

Chen Ping chose a secluded place to sit down, Li Baoping ran over, he wanted to say nothing, he said with a smile: “If I have a word I don’t know, I will ask you.”

Li Baoping then returned to the table and began to open the letter. The 3 Feng Family books were from father, big brother and second brother.

Li Baoping opened the envelope, and father Li Hong said in the letter the words of Xihan Wennuan. As always, there is no strict father’s pretence, and they are all instructing trivial things, such as getting dressed in cold weather, don’t be afraid to go out. Spend money, and every time I pass by the post, I must send home letters to my parents and chatter, and 5 or 6 letter papers are gone. Li Baoping sighed and looked at Zhu He who was sitting across the table drinking tea, and said sadly: “When will my parents not treat me as a child?”

Zhu He couldn’t help laughing, drinking tea and tea.

Li Baoping read the second letter. It was written by their Li Family’s eldest grandson and her big brother. He is now studying the scriptures at home and is preparing to participate in the imperial examination next year.The content of the letter is succinct and concise, and the correct italics, as if full of the charm of the Master Mister sitting in a tight-knit manner, each stroke reveals a strong cautiousness, and it is full of Sage Great Dao Truth. She must not neglect Zhu He. Zhu Lu, the father and daughter, should not be regarded by the family. She should listen more to Mud Bottle Alley Chen Ping’s words, be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and cause less trouble to others, but at the end of the letter, she has abided by the etiquette and rules since childhood. Brother, tell her that the crab she caught home from the stream when she was a child, now he has developed his experience, so she can rest assured.

Li Baoping raised the letter paper in his hand and complained to Zhu He: “The big brother doesn’t care about me the most.”

Zhu He held back his smile, thinking that Young Lady, you can do it. Who doesn’t know that Li Family is up and down, it is Eldest Young Master who loves you most.So a nerd who has a headache for Old Ancestor for reasons, the first time he drank, the tea was secretly replaced by the younger sister’s homemade peach blossom spring roast, and the Eldest Young Master almost collapsed. After that, they were all embarrassed and didn’t dare to persuade him. They only dared to follow behind the son who ran to find the younger sister Xingshi to question him, for fear that this slightly pedantic son would start to teach Little Baoping when he was angry.

Never thought that when he saw the girl, stood outside the courtyard, with his hands on his hips, seeing death as his home, he scolded her for his reluctance, and was so angry that he turned his head and left. The stuffy days.Later, in his yard, he planted a pot of peach blossoms that year. When the younger sister asked about it, she said she was going to marry her. The little girl was scared and ran away secretly and wandered around Dragon Beard Creek. All day long, she almost hid in the mountains.

When Li Family realized that Li Baoping was gone, Old Ancestor was furious and sent everyone to find this silly girl. In the end, it was the Eldest Young Master who made up for it. In a small temple on the opposite bank of the stream, he found sleeping on a wooden bench. The poor child, carried her back home.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket suddenly said with a smile: “But I still like the big brother the most.”

The last letter, a huge pile, was sent by Li Family Second Young Master to younger sister, telling about his experience of going to Great Li Dynasty Capital. It is an anecdote that he has seen with his own eyes or heard from anecdotes. The language is beautiful. Such as prose, very knowledgeable, just like a great poet of literary talent.This Second Young Master is far more popular than his big brother in Good Fortune Street Li Family. He is handsome and elegant, but he has a witty talk. He likes to read military books. Since childhood, he likes to let the servants of the mansion serve as servants. Compared with the old-fashioned The dull and long Young Master, the people in the house prefer to deal with the cheerful Second Young Master. During the holidays, the Second Young Master will throw out a small embroidered bag as a reward. It is heavy, if it is auspicious. If it’s good, he will give one more embroidered bag.

Li Baoping turned quickly. When he saw the second letter from the bottom, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Lu: “My second brother talked about you. I told you about the peace of the Great Li Dynasty Fengsui. He was there once Overnight at the top of the mountain, I saw this kind of beacon signal to the Capital that the border was safe, and I looked far away, like a dragon of flames, it was spectacular.”

Zhu Lu walked back to the table and sat down quickly, and asked, “Young Lady, what else did you say?”

Li Baoping simply handed all the pile of letter paper to Zhu Lu. Instead, the second brother was talking about local customs, mountains and ghosts, and there was nothing unspeakable.

Zhu Lu accepted the letter and asked, “Can you take it back and watch it slowly?”

Li Baoping nodded said: “Don’t lose it.”

Zhu Lu was full of joy and left with a smile.

Relay station deputy Cheng Sheng knocked on the door and entered, bringing a pot of fresh fruits.

Behind him was a man with a hat.

Li Huai to get really angry, and running over, he will push the bastard egg out of the house.

While competing with Li Huai, Ah Liang sat down on the stool by the table and asked with a smirk: “What’s the matter with Zhu Lu, his face is full of spring breeze, it seems a bit more beautiful than usual.”

Zhu He was black and did not speak.

Lin Shouyi returned and sat near Chen Ping. Ah Liang threw the silver small bottle gourd to Lin Shouyi. The boy pulled out the wine cork and took a sip of the wine.

Ah Liang turned his head to the relay station deputy and asked, “Is there an Expanding Water Bay in Red Light Town? Isn’t it too far from the water transport terminal?”

The relay station deputy had a weird face, nodded and said: “Yes.”

Ah Liang tsk tsk said: “Sell the golden cave, sell the golden cave.”

There is a crescent-shaped river bay in Red Light Town, floating a kind of exquisite painting boat unique to Red Light Town, no more than 2 30 feet long, all around hanging precious purple bamboo or ordinary green bamboo, the luxurious degree of decoration inside is based on the financial resources of the owner of the painting boat There are usually 2 to 3 women in each painting boat. There are many beautiful and alluring women, young girls, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea wine, and they will be proficient in at least one or two kinds. In addition to the viewing seat, there is also a bedroom, which is not useful. It goes without saying.

Those boat girls are the Great Li Dynasty low-ranking households for generations. According to legend, they were the survivors of the Divine Water Country of the previous dynasty. The Great Li Emperor issued a decree that they will never go ashore and ask them to be rootless for generations after generations. duckweed.

The 100 surnames of Red Light Town have been passed down from generation to generation. Not far away, the Qidun Mountain landlord, loyal and unparalleled, secretly sheltered the ancestors of these surnames on the escape route, so he provoked great anger from the Great Li Emperor Long Yan. God was demoted to land and ordered the descendants of those surnames to smash the golden body with his own hands and sink into the river bottom.

The relay station deputy carefully brewed the wording, and selected some innocuous small town allusions to tell these distinguished guests.

Red Light Town cannot be said to be the north-south hub of the Great Li Dynasty, but it is also a busy water transport terminal with boats and ships, where products from all over the world gather.It is the place where 3 rivers converge, namely Tranquil Clash River, Embroidery River and Aqueous Jade River, but there are only 2 River Gods. There is a River Shrine on the riverside and a clay sculpture of Divine Idol. They all died in that water. Commander of the Great Li Dynasty Meritorious Water Army.

Only the Tranquil Clash River did not set up the River God and did not set up a temple. After that, there was a Burning Incense Empress Temple, dedicated to a small town martyr who was innocent and committed suicide in the river. The result was soon by the Great Li Dynasty Imperial Court. Designated as a Yin Temple, now there are only a pile of ruins, broken bricks and shingles, only snakes and rats scurrying around.

When hearing the deeds of Qidun Mountain, Li Huai whispered: “I didn’t expect such a bastard to have such a good reputation in Red Light Town.”

Lin Shouyi’s face was indifferent, “Every family has sutras that are hard to recite.”

Chen Ping put away the letter from Ruan Xiu.

The letter said that the Unrestrained Mountain he bought was successfully named as a new Great Li Dynasty mountain god who helped gather Spiritual Qi while sitting on the Suppressing Mountain head. Second only to Draping Clouds Mountain, which was not involved in the sale, and Lighting held by her father. Lantern Mountain.
