In the blink of an eye, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In midsummer, ten miles outside the capital.
The scorching sun falls on people like fire. But in such weather, there are still groups of people walking on the official road. They are in small groups, either riding horses, riding cars, or walking together. Some have brocade robes and some linen clothes.
Some also wear straw sandals.
Lao Zhang opened a tea stall next to the official road. Because the imperial court was going to hold the martial arts examination, all the martial arts practitioners in the world would rush to the capital soon. People were coming and going on the road, but the business was not bad.
"You three gentlemen, please take your time with your tea and a plate of cooked meat."
There were three people sitting around the table, looking like a family of three, the old father and a brother and sister. The old man was over fifty years old and had a goatee on his chin. The brother was a little older, with big shoulders and round waist, and a simple and honest expression, but the girl was not that old.
big.
"The three of you are also in Beijing to take the exam, right?" Lao Zhang obviously meant to chat.
"I see." Goatee chuckled: "Take my eldest son."
"Can you tell this? Nine and a half out of ten people who sit at my tea stall every day do it because of this. Look at my body, I can at least be a centurion. If only I, Lao Zhang, were a few years younger
, I have to give it a try, even if I don’t give up on these old bones, I have to kill a few Rong people.”
"Tea shopkeeper, don't join in the fun. The Rong tribe is easy to kill. In that battle, we fought and lost all the way. In the end, the Rong tribe beat us to the feet of the emperor. Hey, no one in our empire can resist
The Rong tribe must live here." A guest said: "By the way, Lao Zhang, the Rong tribe surrounded the capital last year. You live here, have you seen the Rong tribe?"
"How come you haven't seen me before? My little son...Hey, don't talk about this, don't talk about this." Lao Zhang laughed dryly.
"If you say that no one in the empire can stop the Rong tribe, I don't think so. Thinking about the empire's God of War, who wiped out a hundred thousand enemies in one battle, it really vented the bad anger in our hearts." A bearded guest said.
"Hey, who doesn't know this? To tell you the truth, we are here this time, firstly for the martial arts examination, and secondly to meet the Imperial God of War. If we can get one or two of his teachings, I am afraid that we will be of endless use in this life.
"
"Who in the empire doesn't want to see him today, but I'm afraid it's hard to see such an immortal figure."
"The imperial court wants to honor you in Chang'an, and you may have a chance to meet him."
"If the empire had such generals, we wouldn't have to be bullied like this by the Rong clan."
When the four words "Imperial God of War" were mentioned, everyone became enthusiastic, and even strangers felt like old friends they had not seen for a long time. I wonder how powerful these four words are, and they can bring strangers together.
.
"snort!"
A little girl snorted heavily, the sound was not loud, but it was like adding a handful of sand to a pot of meat porridge, which was a bit harsh on the teeth.
"This girl, it's better not to be disrespectful to the Imperial God of War, and to maintain respect for the heroes."
"This girl is still young and doesn't know much about the world. Brother Li, it's better not to have the same knowledge as her."
"Bah." The little girl spit out the tea: "What a bullshit hero, why should I respect him as a dog?"
"You!" The bearded man was so angry that his veins popped out.
"Haha, my little daughter's vulgar language has made you unhappy. Ling'er, what the hell, this is what a girl can say." Goatee scolded, put a stack of copper plates on the table, and said: "
Everyone, take your leave, take your leave."
The three of them stood up to leave, and Lao Zhang felt that something was wrong. The old man only said that the little girl's language was vulgar, but he did not say that what she said was wrong. The little girl looked quite handsome, but her speech and behavior seemed uncultured, like
, like...a bandit.
Do you want to go up and ask?
"Hey, don't leave!"
The long-bearded man stopped in front of the three people with a whistle stick and said: "It's okay for you to be disrespectful to me, but I can't tolerate your disrespect to the God of War. You little girl must take back what you said, otherwise don't blame me Li Nanxing
rude."
"Brother, how can you be so rude?"
The honest man who had not spoken a word put his palm on his shoulder. How his hand reached out, the bearded man did not see clearly. He only felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his shoulder, and the joints creaked and cracked.
With a sound, the whistle stick could not be held tightly and fell to the ground.
The three people left slowly, and in the eyes of everyone in the teahouse, their figures disappeared in the direction of the capital.
"Dad, we have been looking for so long and traveled to many places, but we still can't find the master. Could it be that the master has already..."
"A year ago, the big boss was forced to jump off a cliff, but later the officers and soldiers did not find his body. I have a feeling that the big boss is still alive."
"I wonder when we can find him?"
"This time for the martial arts examination, all martial arts practitioners from all over the world will come to the capital. For such a lively event, the master will not be absent. What's more, the person named Yang is coming..."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded to each other.
These three people were naturally Xu Shenji, Qin Man, and Xu Ling'er. After Xu Shenji and Qin Man escaped, they went to the south to find Xu Ling'er, and then they searched for Cheng Dalei on the empire. In one year, they traveled to Jingzhou, Yuzhou,
There was no news about Cheng Dalei in Youzhou, or even in the territory of the Rong tribe outside the pass. Some people said that an axe-wielding fool appeared somewhere somewhere, and they rushed over without running into him.
All the way to the capital, what was more important than the martial arts examination was that Emperor Ming wanted to reward Yang Longting in front of the world.
Toad Village was wiped out, and so many brothers were wandering around the world. All of this was thanks to Yang Longting. However, the things that Toad Village did were attributed to Yang Longting, who enjoyed supreme glory and was regarded as the Imperial God of War.
The bandits in Toad Village don't care about glory or rewards, but they cannot tolerate villains being rampant. Otherwise, those brothers who died in the battle will die with their eyes open.
Everyone who is still alive in Toad Village will demand justice from Yang Longting. In Youzhou, he was hiding in the city, so it was difficult to kill him, but in the capital, there may not be no chance.
If Cheng Dalei were still alive, he would come to the capital.
Shao Yu and Lin Chong would come to the capital if they were still alive.
Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao will also come to the capital.
Today, I am afraid that many brothers will meet in the capital.
Today, Xu Shenji and his party came to the capital.
The capital is already in front of you.
The capital, located in Jingzhou, has another name, called Chang'an.
Chang'an, located in Jingzhou, is the capital of the empire and the hinterland of the world. People say that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is fragrant with ink. It is on the coast of the East China Sea, where you can watch the sea and listen to the waves. It is the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the land of abundance... But everyone understands that these places are...
It cannot be compared with Chang'an.
Because this is Chang'an, the greatest city in the world.
Chang'an, Chang'an, Chang'an in the world, this is the dream of emperors of all ages. Many people have never been to Chang'an in their lives, and they must have stepped into this city in their dreams.
