Chapter 4: Swordsmanship and Chivalrous Heart

His sword was unsheathed and suspended in mid-air.

The strong pressure from the Sword Immortal caused the hundreds of county soldiers who were bullying the weak to kneel down one after another.

At this time, a leisurely voice came, "As an immortal, you should have the dignity of an immortal. Why should you fight against the imperial court for a group of common people?"

The person who came was a handsome young man dressed in brocade clothes. He bowed to Xu Yin and saluted with great respect.

"Who is the young master?"

The handsome man smiled and said: "Xunyu of Yingchuan, I have seen the Immortal Lord."

Xu Yin looked at the other party carefully and found that he was a famous person in history.

Yingchuan County is not far from Runan County. I don’t know why this person appeared here.

"It turns out it's Xun Wenruo, a famous name I've admired for a long time! The Xun family has been serving as officials for generations, are they like that officer just now, treating the common people like ants?"

Xun Yu laughed and said: "The people above the Hanmen have names and surnames, so they are called common people. These common people are just called Guizhou heads and ants."

The ancient bronze sword clanged loudly, and the murderous aura between Xu Yin's brows suddenly filled Xun Yu's body. The powerful aura made his heart tremble.

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"

Xun Yu, who had just been forced by the murderous intention of the sword energy, felt his heart trembling, but his demeanor was still there, but when he heard these words, his expression changed drastically.

This sentence is taboo for the princes and nobles!

Xun Yu looked solemn and said: "Is the Immortal Lord ready to be born to compete with mortals for this world? Otherwise, how could you dare to say this?"

Xu Yin sneered and said: "Although I have no intention of seeking hegemony in the world, I know that water can carry and capsize a boat. If you treat the people like ants, you will be devoured by all the people the next day."

Xun Yu didn't take it seriously, or the scholar-bureaucrats of this era didn't take it seriously at all, just because the power of the noble gentry was too powerful.

However, the power of the common people is too scattered and divided one by one within Wubao Farm. Only by relying on the gentry can they survive. How can they fight against the gentry?

Even after experiencing the chaos of the Five Husbands and the chaotic wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they could not really make the monster of the noble gentry bow.

Unless there is another Huangchao uprising, where the bones of public ministers are trampled all over the streets, and the inner treasury is burned to ashes, then we can deal a fatal blow to the noble family.

However, such an opportunity actually came after two hundred years of continuous pressure during the Sui and Tang Dynasties and could not be achieved overnight.

"Does the Immortal Lord want to save all the people with the sword in his palm? Haha, the Yellow Turban rebellion is sweeping the world, and its power is even greater than the rebellion of the past.

But what should we do? The imperial court is no opponent, but the nobles in the world can unite and be destroyed in an instant!

Can the sword in the hands of the Immortal Master be stronger than a million yellow scarf warriors?"

Xu Yin had the knowledge of later generations and naturally knew that what Xun Yu said at this time was true.

But he still held the sword in his hand tightly. He didn't want to be the king, but that didn't mean he gave up his chivalry in his heart.

What Xia protects is never the weak, but the inner belief, which is also his way of swordsmanship.

Xun Yu's expression changed. He was not angry out of shame, nor did he act impulsively. His murderous intention stemmed from his belief that he would not hesitate to offend the court, offend the nobles, and even risk his life.

This means that if he really wants to kill someone, there is absolutely nothing anyone else can do to stop him.

This is where the Sword Immortal is more troublesome than the ordinary Immortal. Although Xun Yu believed that he was profound in Confucianism and Taoism, he was still young and was not strong enough to fight against the strong men in the Immortal Realm.

But he was always wise. Seeing that the ancient bronze sword was pointing at him, and the killing force was about to come, he quickly asked: "Kill me, but you still can't save them!"

Xu Yin sneered, the sword edge slashed down, and a sword energy in the void was like a huge wave crashing on the shore!

Xun Yu opened his eyes wide, condensed the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism in his hands, and burst out with awe-inspiring aura, barely blocking the huge wave of sword energy, but the aftermath of the sword energy rushed to both sides.

The surrounding county soldiers were affected, and their internal organs were shattered by the sword energy on the spot, causing them to bleed to death.

Xun Yu's crown and belt flew off, and he sat down on the ground with his hair disheveled. A mouthful of blood spurted out. He was really in a miserable state.

Xu Yin raised the sword in his hand again, and Xun Yu shouted loudly: "It is the plan of the imperial court and the ministers to drive the refugees north along the way.

Just to take advantage of the distance to weed out the old and the weak, the nobles' forts along the way will naturally accept the young and strong among the refugees, and to some extent preserve their vitality for the common people..."

Xu Yin smiled, showing his white teeth, and said, "It's ridiculous!"

The sword edge fell again, Xun Yu took out the jade Ruyi from his waist, and a ray of light rushed out from the jade Ruyi.

The ancient bronze sword reminded: "This man used a life-saving tool pressed at the bottom of the box. The jade Ruyi contains the heavenly destiny that belongs to the Han Dynasty."

Xu Yin didn't care so much. With one strike of his sword, the jade Ruyi's glory was shattered into pieces, and Ruyi itself was also broken into several sections.

But Xun Yu's life was saved after all. With his eyes wide open, he no longer had the calmness and ease he had at the beginning. His breath was extremely disordered, and with every breath he took, the beating in his chest was like thunder.

He quickly raised his hand and said: "I, the Xun family of Yingchuan, are willing to win over every family in Runan County to absorb these refugees, regardless of whether they are old, weak, women or children!"

Xu Yin raised his sword again, seemingly not paying attention to what Xun Yu said.

Thousands of refugees present suddenly knelt down, and while the old man in the lead shouted, they simultaneously shouted to Xu Yin: "Immortal, raise your noble hand!"

Xu Yin's sword stopped in mid-air. Looking at the refugees kneeling to him, their faces were no longer numb, but instead looked like longing.

"When you enter Wubao, you will be enslaved to others for generations to come."

"The way we live is no better than a dog. Even if we are slaves, our wives, children, and children can always survive."

Xu Yin returned the sword to its sheath, turned around and led the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Xun Wenruo, remember what you said, if you want to leave Qingji, I can do it."

As he said that, he led his horse northward, and the heavy murderous intention that enveloped Xun Yu dissipated. He himself seemed to have loosened a big stone, lying on the ground in a panic, breathing the bloody air, and only then did he realize how beautiful life was.

"A gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall. I am also obsessed today. How could I take the initiative to provoke a sword immortal... a sword immortal? Could he be the wanted one?

But the appearance is wrong, but if you practice to that level, there may not be a way to change your appearance."

Xun Yu sat up, looked at the group of Li Shu people who were staring at him, and couldn't help but sigh, "A gentleman should be true to his word. Since he has promised others, he must never break his promise."

With the reputation of the Xun family, he paid some benefits and asked the nearby gentry Wubao to divide the thousands of refugees equally, and even the dead were properly accommodated.

Entering Wubao means becoming a hidden household and not being listed in the imperial household registration.

Although this does not have to bear the harsh government of the court, it also means that they are not protected by royal law.

It also means living under someone else's roof, being a slave for generations, and living or dying depends solely on the master's will.

But compared to living in the wilderness, at least I can survive now.

After Xun Yu arranged to accommodate all the refugees, he headed north. He had informed his family elders about Xu Yin's affairs through secret methods, and he also planned to go to Luoyang.

He was familiar with the Book of Changes and developed some intuition. He felt that Xu Yin's trip north was heading to Luoyang.

At this time, Luoyang no longer had the problem of Yellow Turban bandits, and the struggles between eunuchs, relatives, and Qingliu became more and more intense. Many Qingliu celebrities were imprisoned and persecuted by eunuchs.

Qingliu, headed by the Yuan family, even secretly formed an organization of running friends, began to rescue the persecuted Qingliu nobles, and jointly made plans to deal with the ten permanent servants.

Why did that powerful and rebellious swordsman come to Luoyang, a place with such turbulent undercurrents?
