Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Chu Yuanzhen: Do you need me to retreat?Early spring is windy and rainy.
A three-masted ship sailed through the waves, and the wind swelled the canvas.
After lunch, Song Tingfeng pressed his knife with one hand, stepped onto the deck, and looked towards the capital against the wind.
For more than a month, the war sharpened the edges of his face, the blood sharpened his eyes, and his spirit changed greatly.
The footsteps came from behind him. Song Tingfeng did not look back, but pointed to the north and said, "In ten days, we will reach the capital."
Zhu Guangxiao said "hmm" and looked north with Song Tingfeng. He was still silent, except that his temperament became more stable and honest, and there was not much change.
On the contrary, the oily Song Tingfeng seemed to have been reborn.
"My military exploits in Yunzhou are enough to exchange for the visualization map of the Refining Spirit Realm..." Song Tingfeng smiled and said, "I plan to advance to the Refining Spirit Realm."
If it were in the past, Zhu Guangxiao would be surprised. As colleagues for many years, he knew that Song Tingfeng lacked ambition and was satisfied with being a Tongluo. He patrolled the streets during the day and visited the Jiaofangsi at night. He lived a comfortable life.
If the military exploits in Yunzhou were exchanged for silver, it would be enough for him to live in the Jiaofangsi for a year.
"Yeah."
Zhu Guangxiao nodded.
At this time, another group of Tongluo who came out to get some fresh air after dinner came to the deck, laughing and laughing, with the joy and expectation of going home in their expressions.
"Tingfeng, when we return to the capital, let's go to the Jiaofangsi to drink together." A familiar Tongluo came over and put his arm around his shoulder.
Song Tingfeng seemed not to hear it and looked north in silence.
The Tongluo left with a bored look on his face.
Song Tingfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "I have good talent. I have been stuck at the peak of Qi training for so many years. My foundation is solid enough. It will not be difficult to advance to the Spirit Refining Realm by the end of this year.
"During this period, I have been thinking, if I were not so lazy, if I were not so useless, if I had already reached the Spirit Refining Realm when I came to Yunzhou..."
Song Tingfeng lowered his head and said softly, "I will not go to the Jiaofangsi anymore, never again."
Zhu Guangxiao was silent and patted his shoulder.
The Spring Examination was carried out in an orderly manner. At the beginning, Xu Ershu and Xu Qi'an were quite concerned about Xu Erlang's condition and asked about his well-being.
Xu Qi'an treated Xu Erlang the same way his parents treated him during the college entrance examination.
But the subsequent public security chaos made Xu Pingzhi, a hundred households of the Imperial Sword Guard, and Xu Qi'an, a night watchman, very busy.
Jianghu people like to be brave and fierce. There are indeed heroes who are chivalrous, but there are more people of the lower nine classes. Who would mix in the Jianghu with decent people?
If you have no money, pick a few rich families with bad reputations to start with, and then help the poor who are struggling to make ends meet, you are already considered a chivalrous thief.
There are really few female knights like Li Miaozhen who truly help the world and uphold justice.
In just four or five days, Xu Qi'an alone arrested several outsiders who were drunk and fighting. According to his second uncle, the outer city could catch the thugs every night, but the inner city was peaceful.
Because there was a curfew in the inner city, the five guards of the capital who patrolled at night would sound the bow to warn people when they saw someone going out at night. At this time, if you choose to escape, you will be shot on the spot.
If it is a suspicious person walking on the roof, there is no need to sound the bow, and you have the power to kill first and report later.
If you encounter someone who is looking for an opportunity to cause trouble, you are usually taken to prison and wait for your companions to bail. These minor matters that are not punishable by death are the most troublesome.
On this day, Xu Qi'an was patrolling the streets with two gongs. When he passed by a brothel, The suddenly heard the sound of tiles breaking.
Looking up, two Jianghu people were fighting on the roof.
A group of people were watching below, pointing and talking, or cheering or cheering.
"Damn, these bastards, they are still making such a fuss after confiscating their weapons. "Xu Qian'an cursed and directed the bronze gongs beside him: "Go, get them down for me and bring them all back to the government office."
There are ordinary people watching here, so it is not suitable to ring the gongs. The sound waves of the magic weapon will cause harm to the people around.
The two bronze gongs jumped up and shouted: "No trouble or fighting is allowed in the inner city. Follow me to the government office. "
They were warning the other party not to resist, which was the same as firing a bow to warn.
Who knew that the two Jianghu people would get really angry. When a martial artist gets hot- headed, he doesn't care who you are, and will fight the government officials as well.
One of the Tongluo barely avoided a sinister crotch kick, and was furious. He drew out his sword with a clang, and slashed it with his Qi.
Although Tongluo was the lowest-level night watchman, his Qi training level was considered a good hand in the martial arts world, and ordinary Jianghu people were no match for him.
Ding!
A Qi popped out from below and hit the blade of Tongluo, causing the blade to deflect.
The Jianghu person who escaped from death instinctively exerted all his strength and kicked Tongluo in the chest. Tongluo, who was kicked, fell from the roof of the building, did a beautiful backflip, and landed steadily.
Xu Qian'an narrowed his eyes and flicked out the black gold long sword with his thumb. As if sensing his murderous intent, someone downstairs shouted: "Stop!"
They were two groups of outsiders dressed in bright clothes, including young men and pretty and curvaceous female knights. At the same time, there were middle-aged or old men
standing behind them.
The two Jianghu people stopped only after hearing their masters shouting to stop.
Xu Qiyan held the knife with one hand and walked over with a step that did not recognize any
relatives.
"Sir, I am Lu Chun from the Lu family in Jingzhou." A handsome young man in white clothes
bowed.
Seeing Xu Qiyan coming over, the eyes of several beautiful ladies lit up.
Xu Qiyan nodded, looked at the other group of people, and asked, "What about you?"
The leader over there was a young man with a feminine temperament, who snorted. The old man beside him hurriedly said, "My lord, I am from the Zhao family in Jingzhou."
The Lu family and the Zhao family are famous families in Jingzhou. They have both the pillars of official careers and the masters of the underworld. They are good at both black and white.
In a popular way, they are local gentry. Of course, families of the size of the Lu family and the Zhao family have already left the category of "gentry". It is not an exaggeration to say that
they are well-off.
The two families are like fire and water in Jingzhou. They stab each other in the officialdom and fight with swords in the underworld. The grudges have a long history.
This time I came to the capital to watch the battle, and I happened to meet them on the street.
Both sides sneered and sneered a few times, and got angry, but they were still restrained. They only sent two masters to fight on the roof.
Although it is against the law to cause trouble in the street, it did not hurt innocent people and did not cause too much damage. With the power of the two families, they are fully
capable of settling it.
"Who played the aura just now?" Xu Qian'an glanced at the crowd.
The young man with a feminine temperament raised his chin: "It was me."
Xu Qian'an nodded slowly and looked at the two groups of people, "Okay, all of you follow me
to the night watchman's office."
The handsome and extraordinary young man of the Lu family frowned slightly.
"What?"
The feminine young man sneered, "We didn't fight in the street, you just take the two of them
back to the office."
"Go if I tell you to go, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you." Xu Qian'an cursed. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Attacking the night watchman, this crime alone is enough to make them drink a pot. This
group of outsiders is too arrogant.
"Why? Night watchmen must abide by the law under the feet of the emperor. "The young man
with a feminine temperament was not afraid at all.
Clang!
The black-gold long sword was unsheathed, and the dark golden thread flashed by.
Before the young man with a feminine temperament could react, he was about to die. A beautiful and gentle woman beside him took the lead in reacting, took off the silver hairpin
on her head, and pointed at the sword energy.
Bang!
The silver hairpin exploded, and the sword energy cut her delicate hand.
Xu Qiyan jumped up and kicked the woman away. After landing, he did a roundhouse kick and kicked the young man with a feminine temperament to the ground.
This kick used hidden strength, and the bones were not broken, but the opponent's internal
organs were injured.
Xu Qiyan did not look at the young man with a feminine temperament. He handed the long
sword forward and sneered: "Even if you are in the realm of copper skin and iron bones, you will not be able to leave the capital. "
The old man's face was livid, and he looked down at his chest.
Xu Qiyan turned around and looked at the people of the Lu family: "Are you going or not?"
The eyes of the people of the Lu family fell on the old man's chest, where a faint red oozes
out.
Copper skin and iron bones... the defense is broken.
They re-examined Xu Qiyan. This Silver Luo is so young, and it is incredible for them to be a
Silver Luo at this age.
Just now, with a casual sword and a kick, he directly defeated the eldest lady of the Zhao
family in the Refining Spirit Realm, and then he casually broke the physical defense of the
Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm with a knife.
This cultivation is simply terrible, and the talent is even more amazing.
It is worthy of being the capital. Any Silver Luo, if placed outside, is a genius.
"It's up to you, sir." The handsome young man did not dare to disobey.
.......
Escorting the two groups of people back to the government office, Xu Qian'an found the clerk
in charge and said, "You must ask each of these two groups to pay 100 taels of silver. They are
not allowed to be released even if they pay less than one cent. "300 taels will be kept in the account, 50 taels will be divided between you and your colleagues, and 50 taels will be given to each of the two copper gongs I patrol the streets. The
rest will be sent to Chunfeng Hall for me tomorrow." "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done. "The clerk said hurriedly.
Xu Qian'an nodded with satisfaction, turned to the stable, rode his beloved mare, and headed
towards the imperial city.
The sun was high, and he planned to go to Lingbao Temple for lunch, and by the way, he
would ask Luo Yuheng for advice on the "Heart Sword" sword manual.
The Heart Sword Sword Manual had already been introduced, and it was not difficult for Xu
Qian'an. When performing it, he only needed to attach his mental power to the sword body and cut it out like a qi machine.
The difficulty was how to integrate it with the qi machine in a rounded way.
It was like drawing a circle with one hand, which was fine, but when drawing with two hands,
the brain could not distribute it, and it often got stuck. When drawing the sword, he either forgot to transfer the qi machine or forgot to attach mental power.
Now that he was a silver gong, he could enter and leave the imperial city freely. When his waist badge was flashed, the guards guarding the city immediately let him go.
When he arrived at Lingbao Temple, the Taoist boy guarding the gate of the temple went to
report and returned in a moment.
"The Taoist leader invites you."
Xu Qiyan nodded, followed the Taoist boy into the temple, walked through the corridor and courtyard, and met the "kind aunt" Luo Yuheng in the quiet room.
In addition to her, there was a swordsman in green sitting on the mat, with a free and easy
temperament. A strand of white hair on his forehead showed the maturity of the man and added to his charm.
Damn, No. 4 is here too... This was Xu Qiyan's first thought.
Damn, Luo Yuheng knew that I was the master of the fragments of the Earth Book... This was
Xu Qiyan's second thought.
"National Master!"
Xu Qiyan saluted without changing his expression.
Then he smiled and bowed to Chu Yuanzhen: "No. 1 Scholar."
Chu Yuanzhen smiled freely, a little surprised that he met Xu Qiyan here.
Logically speaking, with Xu Qiyan's level, he was not qualified to enter Lingbao Temple to see
the Taoist master.
"How did Lord Xu know the National Master? "He asked out of his inner curiosity.
Luo Yuheng was about to answer.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xu Qiyan coughed hard and quickly sent a message to the national teacher, but it was bounced
back.
He sent a message again, but it was bounced back again.
He sent a message again, but it was bounced back by his kind aunt again.
Luo Yuheng's attitude was very clear: we are not that familiar with each other, so we don't
chat privately.
The intimate behavior of sending a message was too forced to be used on the national teacher... Xu Qiyan was a little anxious.
Chu Yuanzhen looked at Xu Qiyan, then at the national teacher, and smiled: "Do you need me
to step back?"
Xu Qiyan was a little embarrassed.
