Ximen Wushuang, even in such a remote mountain village, some people know this name, not to mention Xu Liuping, a businessman who travels north and south. Even these soldiers have heard of the name of Miss Xige.
Sichuan, a land of abundance, has many Jianghu sects, but sects such as Emei and Qingcheng mostly live in seclusion and do not care about what is going on at the foot of the mountain. Although their strength is not weak, their influence is not obvious and they have little relevance to the situation in central Sichuan.
If it is related, we also need to look at Tangmen and Xige
Tangmen, that is, Tangjiabao in Yuzhou. Originally, Tangjiabao was a sect that was not very involved in world affairs. However, since there was an additional sect in Tangmen's hidden weapons, Tangjiabao has become more connected with the outside world.
This sect is the Firearms Sect. The Firearms Sect is good at combining gunpowder and hidden weapons. The hidden weapons made have more patterns, are more powerful, and have better effects. This makes the Tang Sect stronger and more effective in deterring other sects in the world.
The important thing is that after this, the government somehow got in touch with the Tang Sect and often purchased gunpowder from the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect originally had a great reputation in Shu, and after the contacts with the government became more frequent,
The power will naturally become stronger
As for the West Pavilion, we have to start with the Four Great Sword Pavilions. The predecessor of the Four Great Sword Pavilions was the "Peerless Pavilion" founded by sisters Ning Wanyue and Ning Wanting. After these two sisters, "there is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent."
Later, Ning Wanyue and Shui Youhan died unexpectedly not long after they got married. Ning Wanting was heartbroken and wanted to disband the Peerless Pavilion, but Shui Youhan couldn't bear to let his wife's years of hard work go to waste, so he took over the Peerless Pavilion.
Later, he used his four envoys in the southeast and northwest as the masters of the four pavilions in the southeast and northwest respectively. Not only did he maintain the peerless pavilion, but he also expanded its strength. The peerless pavilion, which was originally limited to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, has now become a powerful sect that dominates the world.
The four pavilion masters of Jiange were originally orphans, but they were four boys adopted by Master Shui Youhan. The four surnames of Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen, and Beishan were also given to them by him very early.
Sui Shui Youhan came down the mountain. They were all men with strong martial arts skills and experienced hundreds of battles. With the four of them sitting in a pavilion, there was no doubt that they would dominate - not to mention the sword god Shui Youhan existed as the master of the sword pavilion.
There are very few people who dare not buy Jiange’s face. They can be counted on one hand.
Since Ning Wanting married into the Yun family, Jiange is no longer just a simple martial arts sect. It has gradually developed a "division of labor." In addition to maintaining its unshakable position in the martial arts world, Dongfang Pavilion is proficient in weapons and machinery, and Nangong Pavilion is skilled in weapons and machinery.
Specializing in maritime trade, Beishange specializes in intelligence gathering, while Ximenge specializes in firearms and poisons
In Shuzhong, twenty years ago, if someone said that they wanted to develop firearms and poisons, they would definitely be laughed to death - with the Tang Sect here, who will get you? But Shui Youhan is a very ambitious person. Jiangdong has the most developed economy, and all kinds of
There are many machines, but the water is still cold, so let Dongge do the machinery; Guangzhou's business is booming, and there are countless caravans running sea trade, so the water is still cold, so let Nange do the sea trade; Northern Xinjiang is the front line against the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom is wolf
There were countless secret battles between Bao Bao and the Tianji Pavilion of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Privy Council was the most tense area. Shui Youhan asked the Bei Pavilion to get intelligence... so it was not surprising that the West Pavilion was asked by him to get firearms and poisons.
But Jiange is indeed up to par, and each of them has completed the tasks Shui Youhan told Xige. This Xige, which has only appeared for less than 20 years, now has the strength to challenge the Tang clan in Shu.
——In fact, they have always done this
Ximen Wushuang's appearance in Yuzhou must be something big, but the specifics of what it is is not something he, a mere soldier captain, can know.
Ximen Wushuang gave the captain a faint look and said, "You probably have no impression of what happened today, right?"
The captain's heart was filled with ice. Although Xige was not a murderer, it was said that the people in Xige had all kinds of strange poisons, which were enough to give people a thousand painful ways to die. He was just a captain of the soldiers, how could he
He dared to challenge the Ximen family and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we didn't see it, we didn't see anything... don't you think so?"
A group of subordinates quickly agreed
Ximen Wushuang glanced at everyone, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to stop their formation, and went upstairs in a calm manner.
"The Leng family's rule in Sichuan seems to be so unpopular." Ximen Wushuang thought in his heart: "But Wuqing said that Marshal Yun seemed to be concerned about firearms and asked me to send the latest musket to Jiangdong for Yun.
The young marshal looks at it, maybe he can win his support. How sure are you about this matter? It is said that this marshal Yun is not only talented in literature, but also has very high martial arts, especially his archery. People who are proficient in archery usually
He hates firearms the most. Will he really become a supporter of the mass production of firearms? ... And the Tang Clan. The relationship between the Tang Clan and the Leng family is getting closer and closer. This shocking explosion in Chengdu is because the Tang Clan is doing it for the Leng family.
As a result, the family provided a large amount of gunpowder, and the miserable appearance of the rebels at that time was chilling to watch..."
----------------------------------------Yunzheng and Li Mo are at a home in Sheyang
Drinking wine in an ordinary hotel, there is a pound of braised beef, a fat chicken, two plates of side dishes and a stack of peanuts on the table, as well as two wine glasses and a wine jar
There is wine in the wine glass, ordinary grain wine, very ordinary, even a little turbid inside - Yunzheng remembers that the grain wine brewed by rural people in later generations was much clearer than this.
But the two of them drank happily
Strictly speaking, Yunzheng has no real friends in this world. None of the people who look like friends to him can actually be regarded as real friends. For example, Yun Yi - they are brothers in the clan, and they are also brothers.
Although the relationship between superiors and subordinates is quite similar, this friend is not pure. For example, Lin Xi - although they grew up playing together, the difference in status is not very big, and there is also Lin Yuyan among them, which makes their relationship
There is more warmth, but there is always a relationship between the two that cannot be said directly: the combination of power is an important basis for them to maintain their relationship.
Yunzheng discovered that if he really wanted to find someone who was more like a friend, it turned out to be Li Mo, the military advisor he had hired personally.
If the person is wrong, no matter how good the wine is, it will taste like vinegar; if the person is right, no matter how bad the wine is, the wine will taste like vinegar.
Li Mo was smiling at the moment and said: "Do those overseas islands really have such rich resources? I hope we can get them one day." He raised his wine glass, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and a little of the wine in his hand actually spilled out, and he looked at it intently.
Looking at the long street outside the window, Yunzheng immediately looked over with vigilance, following the direction of Li Mo's line of sight, but there was no one on the long street.
"What's wrong?"
Li Mo turned around with a strange look on his face: "I just saw a woman at the corner of the street."
"who is it?"
"I don't know who it is, but she seems to be holding the Lingxiao Sword!"
Lingxiao Sword, Lingxiao Sword, a sword whose divine water is still cold!
Yun Zheng stood up suddenly: "Chase!"
The two of them rushed out of the hotel door like a whirlwind. The boss hurriedly chased him out of the door, but only saw two small figures disappearing at the end of the long street, leaving only two lines of faint dust behind. He couldn't help but sigh.
Said: "Fuck! Now even the level of people who eat Overlord Meal is much higher than before!"
The hot wind blew harshly by my ears, and the scenery on both sides retreated rapidly. In the hot summer night, pedestrians were reluctant to go out, and the long street was empty. It was a perfect place to use Qinggong to run quickly. The two people used Qinggong and rushed with all their strength.
, arrived at the street corner about forty feet away at the same time
Li Mo said solemnly: "She was here just now, why can't she see anyone now?" He looked down at the footprints on the ground and saw that the dust on the ground was trampled to pieces. Where could he find anyone?
footprint?
Yun Zheng wanted to ask Li Mo: "Did you really see clearly?" But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again: Li Mo has always been calm in his actions. If he is not sure, he will not speak out easily. He looked away
He walked down the street that extended in all directions and suggested: "Let's spread out and look for him. Who is he?"
Li Mo pondered: "Fortunately, the other party is a young woman. She is tall and gaunt. She wears a white cloak to cover her head and face. On her waist is the world-famous Lingxiao Divine Sword. It is so dazzling that you can recognize it at a glance. If there is anything
If you find out, Marshal, please let me know with a loud roar."
Yun Zheng replied simply: "Okay!" The two high-fived each other, Yun Zheng turned to the left, and Li Mo turned to the right, and began to search separately. Strictly speaking, no one could doubt Shui Youhan's sword.
What happened to Han? How could he be in trouble? Who in the world has the ability to put him in trouble? The key is that Shui Youhan is Yunzheng's master. Even Yunzheng only saw his master's famous sword many years ago, and now he is actually dead.
In a young woman, this is so strange that one cannot help but be curious. Of course, Li Mo was so surprised and immediately chased after her, mostly because of Yun Zheng.
Li Mo ran all the way, and he also had doubts in his mind: Did he see it wrong? When the woman passed by the street just now, he immediately felt that there was something strange about her, but he couldn't react and waited until she walked over.
Li Mocai suddenly remembered: The sword on that woman's waist was Shui Youhan's world-famous Lingxiao Divine Sword!
Naturally, he didn't know Shui Youhan, but there were many rumors about Shui Youhan's Lingxiao Divine Sword. It was common knowledge that there was a dazzling sixteen-diamond transparent diamond on the top of the hilt of the Lingxiao Divine Sword. It was so obvious.
Naturally, he recognized the characteristics at a glance. As far as he knew, the diamond was Ning Wanyue's relic. He cherished it very much, but how could this sword appear on a young woman now?
Li Mo dismissed all the speculations in his mind and concentrated on searching. He was wondering, why did the woman disappear without a trace in less than ten breaths? After walking along the long street for a while, he suddenly woke up.
Zi jumped onto the roof of the house on the roadside, standing on the roof and observing all directions from a high position. Suddenly, he saw a faint figure in the distance jumping up and down on the roofs on both sides of the street. Li Mo was startled and then woke up.
: That's because Yun Zheng saw that his current speed was much faster than when he was running just now. It was obvious that he hadn't used all his strength just now, maybe because he was afraid of hurting Li Mo's self-esteem!
Li Mo laughed and thought: "Young Marshal, Young Marshal, how come I don't know how good your martial arts are?" He ignored the figure, turned his head, and looked at the surrounding streets. He was unwilling to accept that there was no one there.
Xindi jumped to another roof, and suddenly saw a person walking down in a dark alley opposite. Judging from the figure, she should be a young woman.
Li Mo was so happy that he jumped over several houses in succession and jumped from the top of the alley into the darkness. A female voice screamed: "Indecent! There are flower pickers!" Suddenly, the windows of the houses on the whole street lit up.
, a large group of people armed with sticks poured out from nowhere, and all they heard was shouting: "The flower picker? Where is he?"
"Look! Over there! He's running away! Chase him!"
"Oh, he flew up to the roof! This guy turned out to be a snitch!"
"Send someone to the county government to report the case quickly! We found a burglar here, please ask them to send experts over quickly!"
Li Mo jumped onto the roof in embarrassment, and escaped several streets in one breath. He didn't dare to stop until he couldn't hear the noise behind him, and lay down on the roof that had been hot in the sun during the day and had not yet cooled down.
She gasped softly and felt her heart beating loudly: Fortunately, it was dark in the alley, so no one could see her face clearly. Otherwise, the most talked about topic in Sheyang tomorrow would be: "Eagle"
The person offering wine to Military Adviser Yang Wei was actually a flower-picking thief!" Then I would really have no shame in showing anyone.
He raised his head, the sky was cloudless, the cold moon was silent, and Sheyang City was immersed in tranquility on a summer night. Only then did he realize that in his panic, he had arrived at the west side of the city. There was no one on the street below, and Li Mo gently
He jumped to the ground and landed silently. After receiving the alarm tonight, I guess the county government will send "experts" to patrol around for "snitches". If he keeps wandering around on other people's roofs like this, if he is caught, he will be wronged.
Thinking of Yun Zheng, he snickered secretly: "Should we inform him? What kind of expression should those patrolling government officials have when they find out that the person they caught is the dignified young marshal of the Yun family?"
Thinking like this, he turned around a street corner and was suddenly stunned: walking in front was a graceful woman wearing a white cloak. From the back, she was exactly the person he saw in the tavern! But after learning the lesson just now, Li
Mo didn't dare to step forward rashly anymore. He quickened his pace, trying to catch up with the other party, but unexpectedly the other party's footsteps also became faster, and the distance became wider. Li Mo couldn't hold back his anger, and started running, shouting:
"Miss in front of you, please stop for a moment! I'm not a bad person, I just want to ask you something."
The woman didn't stop, didn't even look back, she just kept walking quickly. Li Mo used his Qinggong skills, and in an instant he was behind her and said, "Miss, please stay." He reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
There was a soft sound of "chi", a flash of light, a sword suddenly appeared from the side, and silently slashed at the wrist that Li Mo had slapped. Li Mo was so shocked that he couldn't withdraw his hand, so he turned his wrist and flicked his index finger, "ding"
There was a soft sound, which hit the side of the sword. He swung the long sword away. Before he could rejoice, there was another soft sound of "chi", and the second sword appeared again, stabbing his throat. The sword energy
Sharp, vicious moves, condensed with powerful momentum, at such a close distance, the swordsman had full confidence in his swordsmanship! But his eyes flashed, the sword hit the air, and Li Mo disappeared!
The swordsman was stunned and realized that in a hurry, Li Mo suddenly made an iron bridge and bent his whole body from his knees, dodging the sword with great danger. Before the third sword came out, he was on the spot. After rolling, although he was a little embarrassed, he finally distanced himself from the enemy. He jumped up, and then he saw the enemy clearly.
There were five enemies in total, and in the middle was the woman in a white cloak. She never looked back. Li Mo only saw her back. She was jumping high, and her figure and temperament were both elegant. Until now, Li Mo still couldn't be sure about her. Is this the person I saw in the pub just now?
There were four people next to them, three men and one woman. The swords in the hands of one man and one woman were flashing. They were the ones who attacked Li Mo just now. The other two people had their hands folded in their long sleeves. It was impossible to tell whether they had weapons or not, and they gave off a sense of mystery. The taste of the test is that the four people are all wearing different clothes. They are all ordinary civilian clothes. They wear a black bamboo hat on the outside. Their faces are hidden under the bamboo hat and cannot be seen clearly, but their eyes are bright. The four of them were walking separately on the street. , Li Mo had seen them a long time ago but didn't pay attention. He didn't expect that they were in the same group as the cloaked woman.
The woman in green who was holding the sword exclaimed: "Huh?" She was very surprised that Li Mo could escape in that situation. Li Mo's internal strength was so strong and his reaction speed was beyond their expectations. In a hurry, he was able to escape. He flicked the edge of the sword with his fingers, and when he saw that the situation was not going well, he quickly rolled around regardless of his identity, and escaped from the encirclement. Looking at the martial arts he had previously displayed, no one could have imagined that such a great master would use such a move that was disgraceful to his identity.
Li Mo was angry: What are the backgrounds of these people?
