As soon as it gets dark, Yangzhou City becomes lively.
After the city gate opened at Mao hour, merchants and traveling farmers rushed in and out of the city gate.
The ship that arrived yesterday was unloading its cargo at the pier and took this opportunity to bring it into the city. There was a lot of noise and bustle among the carriages and horses.
From Yangzhou east to the Yangtze River, you can go to the sea to Japan, Ryukyu and other places in Southeast Asia. Therefore, Yangzhou has become one of the most important transshipment stations for foreign countries in the country, busier and more tense than any other city.
Outside Yangzhou City, Xu Ziyi, dressed in a green shirt, appeared
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Xu Ziyi has come to Yangzhou. The last time he came to Yangzhou was during Liancheng Jue.
But when he saw the city wall in front of him that was more than ten feet high, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Compared with the city wall in front of him, the Yangzhou City of Lianchengjue was dwarfed by the giant!
He originally thought that Yang Guang was at the end of his rope. This Yangzhou city was no longer a paradise where Yang Guang could escape the war. However, along the way, the Yangzhou area was still extremely stable.
This scene naturally surprised Xu Ziyi.
You must know that according to official historical records, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhuaji in the 14th year of Daye. Unexpectedly, although the world is in chaos, the Yangzhou area is still under Yang Guang's control.
Within a moment, Xu Ziyi was relieved.
He is already in an incredible situation, but he still relies on official history to make judgments, which is completely ridiculous.
After shaking his head and laughing, Xu Ziyi strode into Yangzhou City.
However, the atmosphere in Yangzhou City today is a bit strange. There are a large number of officers and soldiers in and outside the city, and the inspections for passing the customs are much stricter. There are long queues.
However, although everyone is anxious, no one dares to complain, because anyone who is used to traveling in the world can see that there are many big men in imperial uniforms among the local officers and soldiers. Unless their lives are at stake, who can
Dare to offend the most domineering imperial guard in the capital.
These officers and soldiers who set up checkpoints along the road were naturally troubled, but the scene in Yangzhou City couldn't help but make Xu Ziyi's heart move slightly.
Could it be...
As if he had guessed something, Xu Ziyi quickly disappeared from the street.
Shilong, the "Tui Shanshou", is known as the number one master in Yangzhou. The Shilong martial arts field founded by him is also very famous in Yangzhou city.
Xu Ziyi just asked about it along the street and soon arrived at Shilong Martial Arts Field.
However, at this time, the Shilong Martial Arts Field was already surrounded by many big men wearing imperial uniforms.
"Is it too late?"
Seeing this, Xu Ziyi had already guessed Shi Long's fate.
Shi Long had been collecting the "Secret of Immortality" for three years, but he still found nothing. He even got into trouble and was killed by Yu Wenhuaji.
Seeing that the Shilong martial arts field was surrounded by the palace guards, Xu Ziyi did not stay in the city. After half a stick of incense, his figure appeared outside the city.
Outside Baling City, Xu Ziyi was attacked by Yang Xuyan, so he decided to come to Yangzhou.
With Xu Ziyi's martial arts skills today, Yang Xuyan could have stayed at that time.
It's just that killing Yang Xuyan is easy, but it will definitely cause trouble in the future!
And this trouble is the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan!
Among the demon sects, only the Yin Kui sect is the most famous now, so "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan is also regarded by many people as the number one master of the demon sect.
But Xu Ziyi himself knew best that the real master of the Demon Sect now was Shi Zhixuan, who was in a state of schizophrenia.
Since Bi Xiuxin's early death after studying the "Seal of Immortality", Shi Zhixuan accidentally killed his beloved wife and suffered schizophrenia, even giving birth to a dual personality.
Shi Zhixuan fell into mental separation, and it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between happiness and anger. Whenever Shi Zhixuan reused Yang Xuyan, it symbolized that his evil side had gained the upper hand, and his love for Hou Xibai symbolized the return of his good side.
It was easy for Xu Ziyi to take Yang Xuyan's life, but the existence of Shi Zhixuan had to be taken seriously by Xu Ziyi.
Even though he was not afraid of Shi Zhixuan, he still had to consider the safety of Cheng Lingsu and others.
Although Lanjiang Island is secretive, it may not be hidden from Shi Zhixuan.
Although according to his words, the surrounding area of Danjiang Island has long been planted with poisonous flowers and guarded by jade bees, it can only stop ordinary masters!
It may not be useful against a master like the Evil King!
And with his current martial arts skills, even if he faced the unstable Evil King, Xu Ziyi would not dare to say that he had a 100% chance of winning.
Therefore, after some thought, Xu Ziyi did not kill Yang Xuyan.
However, even though Yang Xuyan escaped death, he could not escape the punishment of living. Under the attack of his Yang heat, Yang Xuyan's internal injuries were more serious than expected.
Not to mention that two fingers on his right hand were cut off at the root, which would inevitably affect his swordsmanship.
Even if the injury heals in the future, it will take a lot of time to regain his martial arts skills.
It's just that Yang Xuyan can be spared for the time being, but as the mastermind behind the scenes, the Xiang family is not prepared to let him go.
However, who would have expected that as soon as Xu Ziyi arrived in Yangzhou City, he would see the Shilong Martial Arts Field being investigated, which naturally caused a ripple in his heart.
The book "Secret of Immortality" is illusory, and only two people in the past have mastered it. As for the rest, they all have no chance.
Therefore, Xu Ziyi is not very interested in the "Secret of Immortality". He is the owner of the Void Stone Gate. Although the "Secret of Immortality" is mysterious, he may not have better opportunities in the future.
"These two silly boys must have escaped from Yangzhou!"
After searching the surrounding area for a while, Xu Ziyi already understood that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling must have fled Yangzhou in the past few days after witnessing the investigation of Shilong Martial Arts Field.
Thinking of the plot of the original work, Xu Ziyi was not impatient and went straight down the river.
…
Since Yangguang dug the Grand Canal, it reached Zhuojun in the north and Yuhang in the south, finally achieving waterway interconnection between the north and the south. Since then, Yangzhou's trade has become increasingly prosperous, with an endless stream of wealthy merchants from all over the country.
But now the days of the Sui Dynasty are numbered!
Although Yang Guang is not dead now, facing the chaos in the world, he has long been unable to save himself, so he can only hide in the deep palace and numb himself with wine and sex.
There is Wagangzhai in the north, and there are two rebel armies, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, in Huaibei. After repeated encirclement and suppression, it is still difficult to change the situation of being trapped in a corner of Yangzhou.
Xu Ziyi traveled all the way and spent two days before arriving at Danyang City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Danyang City is the largest city upstream of Yangzhou City. It is the only way from the inland to Yangzhou City and then to the sea. Its importance is second only to Yangzhou. Of course, it lacks the ability to connect the north and the south.
of the Grand Canal.
The scenery in the city is unique, with rivers criss-crossing the rivers. Hundreds of stone arch bridges are erected on the rivers. People live by the water. Residential houses are scattered in rows and rows. Streets are formed by water, cities are formed by water, roads are formed by water, water, roads and bridges.
The houses are integrated into one, giving a tranquil and simple water city scenery, as tender as water.
Xu Ziyi walked around the city, but still didn't see the two dragons, so he turned around.
At the same time, the woman in white with two and a half young men on the pier couldn't help frowning at the large and small ships moored at the pier outside the city.
Just listen to her saying: "Why are there so many ships coming back from the west, but no ships heading west?"
At this time, the pier was full of people waiting for the boat, and they were talking about it.
But at this moment, a soft and pleasant voice sounded beside the three people: "May I ask if this girl and two little brothers are waiting for the boat?"
When the three women in white heard the sound, they looked over and saw that the person coming was the noble gentleman who had just paid for them in the restaurant.
This gentleman is indeed handsome, handsome, and elegant. He is half a head taller than the two and a half young men next to him, but he does not look weak at all. He has straight shoulders and straight shoulders. Although he is dressed as a scholar, he shows that he is well versed in martial arts.
a feeling of.
The woman in white didn't even look back and said, "You don't have to worry about our affairs!"
The young man did not feel any dissatisfaction at all, and bowed his head to the ground and said: "Beautiful Tang Tu, I, Song Shidao, would like to apologize in advance. I didn't dare to disturb you, but I saw that the girl seemed puzzled by the fact that the river boats were turning back one after another, so I boldly came to greet you.
Asking, there is absolutely no other meaning."
The woman in white turned around like a whirlwind, looked at him up and down for a while, and said coldly, "Go ahead!"
Song Shidao was flattered and said happily: "The reason is that Li Zitong's rebel army in the East China Sea just crossed the Huaihe River, formed an alliance with Du Fuwei, defeated the Sui division, and sent an army to the south to attack Liyang. If Liyang was attacked
, the Yangtze River waterway traffic has been cut off, so now everyone adopts a wait-and-see attitude and dares to go west only after seeing the situation clearly. "
After hearing what he said, the woman in white was silent, obviously a little moved.
"I wonder if you can give me a ride, sir?"
At this time, a strange voice sounded in everyone's ears at the same time, and then they saw a man in blue shirt falling from the sky.
He looked to be in his early twenties, but his Qinggong and body skills were extremely powerful. Neither the woman in white nor Song Shidao had noticed it before he spoke.
Seeing the man in green shirt landing, the woman in white clothes couldn't help but secretly become wary.
But after the visitor landed, his eyes only looked at her briefly, and then turned to look at Song Shidao who was aside and said with a smile, "I wonder what you want, Master?"
