"This is barbarian rule, purely barbarian principles!" Niu Yuxian still could not agree with the philosophy of Fanxiao Kingdom until he saw a fight between craftsmen on the roadside.
Two craftsmen were five feet apart, with a circle more than six feet wide at their feet. Both sides stood in the circle and threw weapons at each other.
One of the craftsmen threw a short knife. The short knife pierced the opponent's armor, but it only penetrated more than an inch deep and failed to hurt the other craftsman.
The craftsman on the opposite side threw back a short knife with his backhand. The short knife penetrated the armor nearly three inches, and the craftsman who was hit by the knife bleeded.
It only determines the outcome, not life and death. This is the rule of the bloody battle between fangs. The craftsman who was struck by the sword may have lost to the sword, or he may have lost to the armor. In short, if he loses, he loses. He admits defeat on the spot and puts himself
The blacksmith shop compensated the other party.
Niu Yuxian's perception was weak. He looked at the sky and then looked at Xu Zhiqiong. He was asking Xu Zhiqiong to confirm whether there was a star official to testify in the battle between the craftsmen.
Xu Zhiqiong could clearly feel the star official's gaze and nodded to Niu Yuxian.
Lin Ruoxue seemed to have noticed Niu Yuxian's doubts, and explained: "The status of craftsmen in Fanxiao Kingdom is very high, and every duel they have will be witnessed by the star officials."
Niu Yuxian immediately changed his impression of Fanxiao Kingdom, and never mentioned the word "barbarian" again along the way.
Yang Wu felt that the fighting between the craftsmen was more like the behavior of barbarians: "Take the guy and fight openly in the street! No one cares about this? What is this thing?"
If they bring a saber or a sword for self-defense, that's it, no one cares about their weapons?"
Lin Ruoxue said: "Weapons produced by regular workshops are marked. As long as the weapons and armor are purchased from regular workshops, they do not violate the laws of the Brahma Kingdom."
Niu Yuxian nodded and said, "I think this rule is pretty good."
"What does it mean to be good?" Yang Wu shook his head repeatedly and said, "In the final analysis, the entire Fanxiao Kingdom is a world of warriors. Whether warriors or craftsmen, it is the warriors' methods that compete for victory. From top to bottom, we cannot see the actions of the literati.
It’s the tactics of warriors, a group of ignorant and ferocious savages who only care about killing!”
Lin Ruoxue sighed: "Why do you think literati can do something good? And why do you think warriors are cruel and barbaric? When warriors are promoted to high levels and earn their own identity and status, besides bravery, don't they also rely on wisdom?"
Chu He nodded repeatedly and said: "I like to hear this. Warriors have real wisdom, and they are definitely no worse than those literati.
Girl, although I can’t see your face, your voice is so nice, I haven’t asked you your name yet.”
Lin Ruoxue did not answer, but heard Lebida say from the side: "We have literati here, and literati have debates."
He led everyone to find a school, where two literati drew a circle to worship the White Tiger True God, and were having a debate in the circle.
No matter what kind of duel it is, Fanxiao people like to draw circles.
The key point is that this is a debate. Is it appropriate to worship the White Tiger God?
suitable!
This debate is also being watched by Xingjun.
"One should predict the situation before talking about right and wrong. Take military affairs as an example. Fanxiao raised his troops and defeated the enemy. For the enemy, this is bad news. For our army, it is good news. The situation is different and it is unnatural.
different."
A man from Dongfanxiao, wearing a Confucian robe, put forward his point of view.
His point of view is that stance determines right and wrong.
Opposite him was a Western Fanxiao man, wearing the scholar's robe unique to the Fanxiao Kingdom. His view was just the opposite.
"Whether it's bad news or good news, the facts remain unchanged after all. This battle was fought and Fanxiao won. No matter what your situation is, this battle cannot be changed, so right and wrong has nothing to do with the situation."
Although he is a serious Xifanxiao native, he speaks fluent Daxuan Mandarin. In Tiebao County, Daxuan Mandarin is considered the common language.
The Dongfangxiao Confucian said: "Water in drought-prone lands is a source of sweet rain; in flood-prone lands, water is a source of harm. Therefore, there is a situation before right and wrong."
Scholar Xi Fanxiao said again: "If a person has no water to drink, he will definitely die. No matter what the situation is, right and wrong will never change. Don't talk about your fallacies again."
This sentence was so accurate that the faces of the Confucian scholars from Dongfangxiao turned pale with anger.
But he quickly found a new argument:
"The White Tiger God is my witness, I will trap you!"
Xifanxiao Confucian's cheeks trembled, and he shouted: "True God White Tiger testifies, I will trap you to death!"
The two men struggled together.
"Trapped! Trapped to death!"
"Set! What the hell..."
In the end, the Confucian scholars from the East Fanxiao pulled off a handful of the beards of the scholars from the West Fanxiao. The scholars from the West Fanxiao surrendered and the Confucian scholars from the East Fanxiao won the debate.
Xu Zhiqiong heard the testimony from the star official: "Count!"
Yang Wu took a deep breath and said, "Is this considered a debate?"
Lebida didn't understand: "Let's discuss it first and then fight it. Why doesn't it count?"
While he was talking, everyone came to Lebida's house. His family owned a grocery store. His entire family business meant this grocery store.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Luo Guanghan: "Don't you think you are a well-known figure in Fanxiao Kingdom?"
Luo Guanghan lowered his head and said, "I was considered respectable before..."
Lepidah shouted: "Shut up! Your family's reputation has been ruined."
It is neither realistic nor decent for a sixth-grade cultivator of the Way of Killing to open a grocery store.
Lebida explained: "My family fortune was very rich before, but Luo Guanghan broke the law. In order to help him pay back the money, I lost all my family property, and only this shop is left."
Xu Zhiqiong laughed when he heard this and said: "So, I am late. What law did Luo Guanghan break?"
"He got into private fights with people."
Yang Wu said in astonishment: "Fight? You can fight anytime and anywhere. Is this considered a violation of the law?"
Lebida frowned and said, "A bloody fight and a fight are two different things."
Luo Guanghan and a boy fell in love with a girl at the same time. The innocent girl asked the two boys to have a bloody fight, and she would fight whoever won.
Luo Guanghan lost the fight in the ring, and was unwilling to accept it. He brought a weapon and sneak attacked the young man at night, injuring him.
Fighting other than fangs and bloody fights is strictly prohibited in Fanxiao Kingdom. Luo Guanghan not only lost all his family property, but also lost his brother's family property, and was expelled outside the city by the Iron Leopard clan.
, and therefore became grass bandits.
According to the law, an expelled person cannot stay in the city for more than one day and must leave the city before dark.
But whether he can leave the city now depends on Chu He's wishes. After a bloody battle between fangs, Lebida lost, and Luo Guanghan's life is now at Chu He's disposal.
Chu He looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wu.
Yang Wu understood, patted Luo Guanghan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Get out of the city quickly."
Luo Guanghan was startled, he didn't expect these people to let him go.
He thanked him hastily, took the two horse bandits and ran away. Lebida looked at his back and sighed.
Lepidah's wife cried: "Sooner or later we will be dragged to death by your brother!"
Lebida frowned and said, "Don't say any more and pack your things quickly. It's time for us to leave."
The whole family relies on this grocery store to survive, and Lebida himself is reluctant to part with it.
But it's useless to be reluctant. If he doesn't fulfill his promise of bloody battle, he will be punished by Xingjun, and the law will not forgive him.
Xu Zhiqiong discussed with Lebida and let him keep the shop, but Luo Guanghan and the two horse bandits had left, and Xu Zhiqiong lacked a servant who could carry the salute.
Lebida is willing to work as a servant for Xu Zhiqiong on the condition that he does not leave Fanxiao Kingdom for more than one year.
After two moments of agreement, Xu Zhiqiong looked at the grocery store.
This shop was in the same direction as he perceived, and it had a familiar atmosphere.
Entering the grocery store, Xu Zhiqiong asked Lebida: "Have you ever seen an elder from Xuanren before? He has a full forehead, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and his words are a bit arrogant."
Xu Zhiqiong is describing Liang Jixiong's characteristics.
He had indeed been to this grocery store because of Liang Jixiong. He could smell Liang Jixiong's breath. Although it was several months ago, even the slightest breath could not escape Xingguan's nose.
Lebida really understood Xu Zhiqiong's description, because there was a guest who was very similar to what Xu Zhiqiong described.
"The guest was very impatient and couldn't bear to ask any more questions. He came here to buy some groceries such as brushing teeth and green salt. He also bought two pairs of shoes and a set of clothes.
The money was given enough, but I was not satisfied with the clothes and disliked them because they didn’t look good.
When I say to buy clothes, you have to go to a cloth shop to buy good ones. My grocery store only has this kind of stuff.
I just said these two words, and he became angry and scolded me. I had no choice but to run to another store to buy clothes for him."
According to Lebida's description, Xu Zhiqiong concluded that this was the second brother.
Second brother, where will you go next?
Xu Zhiqiong stood in the grocery store, using the power of imagery to collect the remaining breath, and continued to track Liang Jixiong's whereabouts.
Luo Guanghan and the two horse bandits came to the outside of the city and took a long breath before realizing the joy of the rest of their lives after the disaster.
This life was saved!
Luo Guanghan was expelled from Tiebao County, and soon became the second in command of Song Dacai's bandit den with his martial arts skills.
He is a horse bandit. He has killed many people. He is familiar with the methods of horse bandits. There is no reason to spit out the meat put in his mouth. There is no reason to release the people caught in his hands. According to his logic, Xu Zhiqiong
There was no chance of letting him go.
But Xu Zhiqiong still let him go.
Luo Guanghan said to the two horse bandits: "First find someone who is alone, grab some food and clothing, then go back to the camp, pick up the remaining brothers, and then go... you watch me do it
What?"
The two horse bandits stared directly at Luo Guanghan's shoulders.
Luo Guanghan turned around and found a hand growing on his shoulder, suddenly grabbing his throat.
Luo Guanghan struggled for a while and gradually calmed down.
The two horse bandits didn't know what was going on. Seeing Luo Guanghan's strange expression, they tried to run away.
Luo Guanghan stepped forward, grabbed them, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go back to the camp and take the brothers with us."
Definitely take it with you.
From the moment they met Xu Zhiqiong, they had no way out.
Yang Wu counted the number in the city and found that there were more than 20 horse bandits in the camp.
All made into puppets, they will definitely be of some use in the future.
Xu Zhiqiong led everyone to leave Tiebao County, and relied on spiritual guidance to go to the Cang Owl Division.
