Chapter 188 Weird Calmness

After Huang Xiaoshi and the other three passed through Shili Pavilion, they arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City without encountering a second checkpoint.

At the gate of Xiangyang City, people were coming in and out, just like usual. There were no more people with weapons than usual. Huang Xiaoshi and the other three entered the city all the way without even being stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city for questioning.

.

"I feel something is wrong. It looks too peaceful here." Huang Xiaoshi said to Jingji and the others.

Jingjie and Yanyu nodded.

Originally, the picture in their minds was that in Xiangyang City, whether in the city or on the streets, there were martial arts people slashing with weapons everywhere.

However, what I see now is a peaceful scene.

Of course, it's not that Huang Xiaoshi thinks that peace in the world is not good, but that Huang Xiaoshi has clearly been warned by Xu Ziyi, telling him that it would be better to delay his departure a few days later.

That means something big is going to happen in these days.

What could it be?

Huang Xiaoshi said to Jingji and the two of them: "You guys find a place to eat first. I'll walk around the city to see what's going on."

When Huang Xiaoshi proposed to investigate, Jingji and Yanyu naturally would not object, because they both believed that they were not as good at it as Huang Xiaoshi.

The three of them dismounted in front of an inn. Jingjie and Yanyu went to find the waiter, while Huang Xiaoshi walked around Xiangyang City alone.



After finding an inn, Huang Xiaoshi asked for a piece of letter paper. He wrote the words "Chen Chongying" with a pen, and then put the letter paper into an envelope.

Later, Huang Xiaoshi wrote on the envelope "Sincerely received by Mr. Bai, Prince of the Palace". He gave the written letter to the inn and asked them to send it to Hangzhou.

However, Huang Xiaoshi calculated that although he could go down the river from Xiangyang to Hangzhou, the delivery speed at the post station was too slow. It would take at least more than a month, so he didn't know if he would be able to make it in time.

But there is nothing we can do, so let’s do this for now.

Huang Xiaoshi was wandering on the street, and then he bumped into Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun who had just entered the city.



Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun set out earlier than Jingji and others, but this early time was in vain. After walking around Jingzhou for several times, people's legs were already thin.

As a result, I didn't rush over again until I heard the news from Xiangyang.

This can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and it will definitely not work without a few drinks.

There are still a few days until the sixth day of June, so it doesn't hurt to get drunk a few more times.

After Huang Xiaoshi took Fu Jianhan and found Jingji and the others, Huang Xiaoshi asked the boss to add a table of food and drinks. Several people sat down around the big table. Before they could drink, another person came.

This was the third wave of people Huang Xiaoshi encountered after entering the store.

"Come and join our 'Fantasy Sword League'." A young boy with a sword on his back said to the people at the table: "Our 'Fantasy Sword League' is the strongest, not like the other empty shells.

son.

If you join us, you are our brothers. Walking in Xiangyang is not only safe, but also more dignified."

"Thank you brother, we are not interested."

They had just sent people away, and before they had the second bowl, another person came.

"Our 'Blood Sword Alliance' is the most fair. Everyone has the opportunity to get the Heavenly Book, there are also big prizes to draw, and various martial arts secrets are randomly obtained.

As long as you join the 'Blood Sword Alliance', there will be many benefits."

Damn it, it’s not over yet.

Huang Xiaoshi slammed the table in anger and shouted to the boss: "Boss, are there any private rooms or guest rooms?"

The boss trotted over and said apologetically: "This guest officer is really sorry. The room has been unavailable for the past few days..."

"One tael of silver." Huang Xiaoshi spoke simply.

"A few guests, please come upstairs." The boss was also very straightforward in his work.



Finally I can drink in peace.

However, everyone's current thoughts are not on drinking.

It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

This time, Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun could be said to have traveled around Jingzhou and witnessed many things. They were telling the other three people in detail.

Of course, what the five of them talked about the most was the current Xiangyang City.

What is different from other martial arts stories is that the court's control was very strong. We didn't see any street fights or drawing swords to kill people.

Even though a major event like the coming of the Book of Heaven is about to happen, when they see the bustling crowd outside the window, everyone feels that they are on a vacation.

Huang Xiaoshi had calculated everything, but he never expected that the imperial court would take action to control Jianghu affairs.

The imperial court can only control the world whether it wants to control it or not.

If you really want to take care of it, if you see someone holding a weapon, go check the directions. So, ten out of ten people don't have this thing with them.

Not to mention other people, even the most law-abiding Huang Xiaoshi didn't bring this thing. After all, it was too troublesome to open a road guide, and you can only go where the road guide says.

The laws of the imperial court stipulate that no one is allowed to stay in an inn without a road lead, and one is not allowed to enter a big city without a road lead. Once a person without a road lead is found on the street, the official can directly lock the person.

Nowadays, control is not as strict as it was during the founding of the People's Republic of China, but after all, the law is still there, but the officials usually turn a blind eye.

There are only three types of people who can walk anywhere without a guide.

Scholar, monk, Taoist priest.

Without a guide, the people most likely to be interrogated are those who carry weapons.

Therefore, the imperial court has already opened up a wide range of things and has not done everything possible.

Of course, the court actually considered it, and it was impossible to ban it completely. So they set up fences to keep out all the small fish and shrimps, and let in the big fish that couldn't be stopped.

In this way, there won't be too many people, and even if there is a commotion, it shouldn't be too chaotic.

As a result, there are fewer large foreign fish, and the local small fish and shrimps become more active.

The major gangs in Xiangyang City quickly established various "alliances" to snatch the Heavenly Book, and went around trying to get a share of the Heavenly Book incident, or even take the lead.

Only smart people went to take over the imperial court's task of blocking the main road and save themselves from this storm.



The people in front of this table are all leaders of the younger generation. They usually meet each other without looking up, and they also drink a lot of wine together.

At this time, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, when it comes to grabbing the Book of Heaven, everyone just depends on their ability.

It's just that Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun are missing a partner, and they are not in a hurry. The lack of people may actually be an advantage, as they can pull people in at any time when the situation arises.

In the past few days, the five of them have been hiding upstairs drinking and practicing.

The number of rooms was really limited, and Huang Xiaoshi could only get such a room even if he paid for it, and five people could make do with it.

Anyway, when a person is drunk, he doesn't have to sleep on the bed. As long as he can lie down, that's fine.

All the rooms in the inn were full, and they were all people from the world.

There are people with swords, there are people with knives, and even though they dress like Confucians, Buddhists, and Taoists, they are actually people who know martial arts.

During this period, people also came to knock on the door and visit. After entering, they smelled the smell of alcohol all over the room. Then they saw five men drinking alcohol there. They often just said hello politely and left.

Several people smiled sternly at these visitors and didn't take them seriously at all.

They know shit about wine.

The five people here are now all level 4 masters. With their martial arts reaching their level, they can force alcohol out of their bodies at will at any time. Drinking heavily will not affect the performance of their martial arts at all.

Even like Weiming, if you have to drink some wine, the effect will be better.

And these days, everyone is not just drinking, but actually practicing while drinking.

Huang Xiaoshi suddenly had a feeling that Jianghu Baixiaosheng had lowered the leveling difficulty, or held a limited-time double experience leveling competition.

When we were in Wudang, the level of Thorns was still level 38. In just about ten days, the level of Thorns had broken through to level 4.

At this speed, I have almost caught up with myself.

What makes Huang Xiaoshi admire is that whether it is Wei Ming or Yan Yu, the movement of breaking the steps is very loud, but the thorns breaking the steps do not show the mountains or the water. I saw him at 39 last night, and when I woke up the next day, he was already there

40.

Jingjia's practice does not mean that he does not work hard. He has been practicing the third-level [Happy Heart Technique]. He was deliberately suppressed by Wu Xiazi.

People who don't understand will think that Wu Xiazi is harsh to his disciples, but those who really understand will understand that Wu Xiazi has good intentions.

When a young man's temperament is undecided, it may not be a good thing for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

Because my cultivation has always been overwhelming, when I encounter a problem, I will not think of other solutions, but will only use force to defeat it. Over time, my martial arts skills have not been honed, and my character can easily become too smooth.
