Swishy...

The rain outside the window was drizzling, and when the sky gradually turned white, noisy voices were heard outside, buzzing like a bustling city.

"Don't be too slow..."

“Hurry up…”

Ye Xingtang opened his eyes and pushed open the window at the stern. He saw a large ship full of cargo. There were several housekeepers of merchants on the ship who directed Lifu to cover the goods. It seemed that the wind blew away the oil cloth at night.

When I poked out the window to check, I saw that the merchant ship had already docked. On the right was the dock river embankment. It was raining. The dock was still crowded with people. The carriages and ox carts were loaded with cargo, and almost blocked traffic. Behind the dock was a big town.

When looking up the river, the scene is even more magnificent. When the rain is light, thousands of sails gather by the river. The masts and sails block all the views. They are obviously on the river but they cannot see the river view at all. At one glance, there are probably no less than a thousand large and small ships moored on the bank of the river.

It is not surprising that Ye Zhitang is so prosperous. After all, this is the 'Jinjiang River Estuary' and the shore is Xiwang Town.

There are many rivers in the Great Wei Dynasty, with three rivers entering the sea, divided into Daliang River, Qing River, and Wujiang.

In order to transport and travel in all dynasties, they have been building water conservancy projects and slowly built two Grand Canals, the Jinjiang Canal and the Wuxi Canal, so that the three rivers can be completely connected. By boat, you can go from his hometown Honghe Town to the entrance of Jiangzhou on the other end of the Great Wei territory.

The intersection of the two Grand Canals is the mouth of the Jinjiang River under your feet. People who travel around the world must pass here. Although it is just a small town, its scale and prosperity are no less than any large city. People in the martial arts world usually take it as the gateway to the capital.

The Honghua Building held an annual meeting, and the location was chosen here. First, because the major ship gangs formed an alliance to establish Honghua Building, which was here; secondly, there were too many people coming from south to north, and it was difficult for the owner of Honghua Building to come here in a low-key manner.

I had already arrived at the destination and there were no accidents along the way. The stone hanging in Ye Jietang in his heart was laid down.

I glanced at the river and couldn't find the small cargo ship with the "Zhang" banner. I guess it had already arrived at the place and unloaded the goods elsewhere.

Ye Xingtang put away his thoughts, tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room. It was seen that Li Jian and others were standing on the shore and communicating with the manager of the dock to load and unload goods and other trivial matters.

In the room next door, Sanniang had already packed up, wearing a dark purple dress, and her hair was very dignified and mature, and she looked like a shrewd and capable female shopkeeper.

The birds were still staying in bed, lying on the windowsill with their hands covering their stomachs, and they couldn't bear to look at them.

Last night, I was still in shifts with Birds and I didn’t wake up Birds. After washing my boat at the stern, I put my hat on my head, took out an oil paper umbrella, and went to the town with Pei Xiangjun.

Xiwang Town has a huge flow of people, with no less than 100,000 people gathering in the town. The road is blocked. Even if it rains, you can see merchants and people from the martial arts world running around.

Ye Jie Tang walked along the street and saw that he had not yet arrived at the inn. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the front, and the vehicles and pedestrians on the street avoided both sides.

Step on...

"Don't block the way..."

Ye Jingtang frowned secretly, protected Sanniang and retreated to the street. When he looked up, he saw a convoy coming towards him.

In front of the convoy were eight swordsmen wearing brocade robes, wearing hats and straw raincoats, and horses were all worthwhile.

Behind the eight swordsmen was a carriage, which was quite wide. The door was closed and there was no one to see where they were riding. Behind the carriage were several housekeepers and servants riding horses.

Xiwang Town is full of people from the world. The person who can let everyone avoid them has absolutely extraordinary identities.

Ye Jingtang looked carefully and saw that the eight swordsmen had signs hanging around their waists, carrying big broad swords on their backs, and their bodies were extremely heavy, and they could not see that they could reach forty or fifty kilograms.

Junshantai…

Ye Xingtang recognized these people from the shape of the sword and frowned slightly.

The adopted father left a suicide note before his death, so that if he had the chance in the future, he would find a place to find someone who deposed his adopted father back then.

And this enemy is the ancestor of Junshantai, "Dao Kui", Xuanyuan Chao. People in the martial arts world generally call him "Junshan Shenhou".

The Xuanyuan Dynasty ranked eight major leaders, reached its peak in the world, and was also the "Junshan Hou" named by the court. It can be said that both black and white have reached their peak; even in the heyday of the Red Flower Tower, it has to give in to three points.

Ye Jingtang understood the difference between them and did not rush to run up to find trouble, but just pretended that he didn't see him and continued walking.

But what surprised him was that when the carriage passed by, the window was slightly raised and someone looked out from inside the carriage.

Looking from the back, I could see that the middle-aged man was sitting in the carriage, dressed in a brocade robe and dressed in a gentry, facing the serious and handsome face, and his eyes were like a falcon.

Ye Jingtang did not recognize this person, so he did not turn around and looked at him. He waited for the carriage to walk away before asking:

"Sanniang, who is this person?"

Pei Xiangjun looked at the street shop and responded slowly:

"Xuanyuan Hongzhi, the second son of Xuanyuan Dynasty, has been running around all year round, responsible for communication, and is probably planning to go to the Zhou family to celebrate their birthday."

"Why did he look at me?"

Pei Xiangjun signaled to Ye Jingtang's ring-headed sword: "The dragon-slaying order from Junshantai is the ring-headed sword. Both are swordsmen, and you saw the other party carrying a knife, so you looked at it a few times.

Ye Jingtang suddenly realized, raised his hand and put away the knife at his waist:

"I'd better wrap my knife when I go out."

"Um……"

——

Gulugulu...

The carriage drove through the street under the rain, with noise outside the window, but the carriage was very quiet.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi sat upright, his eyes still placed outside the window, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

The son Xuanyuan Zhe, who was sitting next to him, was a little confused:

"Dad, what were you looking at just now?"

After Xuanyuan Hongzhi was silent for a long time, he shook his head and sighed:

"Murder Yazi has been dead for decades, and there are people in the world who use Chilong swords, alas..."

When Xuanyuan Zhe heard this, he immediately understood why his father sighed. In the late years of the previous dynasty, Kuangyazi was the sword leader, and Chilong sword was extremely popular in the world. His father was in his fifties and was born at the end of Kuangyazi's sword dominating the sword world. He witnessed the rise of the Dragon Slaying Order and the decline of Chilong sword. His feelings about this sword were far deeper than those of contemporary warriors.

Later, Zheng Feng, the successor of Kuangyazi, was beaten and destroyed by the Xuanyuan family because of his sister-in-law, and the roots were not removed. His father had a knot and was always worried that one day he would come to the door to settle new and old hatreds with a Lilong Sword.

"Dad is too worried. Zheng Feng himself has learned sword skills. The eight-step crazy sword has long been lost. Even if there is an apprentice, the sword skills that were broken by grandpa decades ago will appear again?"

Xuanyuan Zhe looked at the warriors on the street outside the carriage:

"As for the Lilong Ring Head Knife, the stock was too large before, and one can be seen every few days. Most of them are old knives handed down from the ancestral circle or found on the market, which is very common..."

Xuanyuan Hongzhi shook his head: "The world is the world. Yesterday there was a cause, and today there will be a result. No matter how invincible you are in the world, you can't escape the fate of the world. When I advised Grandpa to kill the roots, your uncle insisted on caring about the chivalrous obstacles. The result was good. At this moment, hesitation led to thirty years of suspicion..."

"Why would the kid send someone to check the new swordsmen in the world?"

"There are thousands of swordsmen in the world, but where can I find it?"

Xuanyuan Hongzhi withdrew his gaze and replied with a serious expression:

"Go to the Zhou family first. The Zhou family has occupied the ancestral property of Honghualou. If Honghualou has not appeared in this birthday party, it means that the situation is out. Qingjiang Wharf is the main port of Yunze two prefectures. Such a large piece of fat meat, without my Xuanyuan family, the Zhou family can't eat it..."

"What if Honghualou has appeared? In the eyes of the child, he should let go of things that he can't hold, so as not to be able to eat. Honghualou is also an old birthday star in the world. Why can't he even understand this principle..."
