If Da Chu and Southern Tang were added to the grasslands in the north, the world would be too vast.
But Jiang Ergou has already walked through such a vast world from south to north.
But Jiang Ergou found that the more he walked, the more he resembled the annoying old man from before.
Year after year, in addition to the continuous increase in age, the more mature changes in the state of mind are what allow Jiang Ergou to truly grow.
But after all, Jiang Ergou is now approaching thirty years old. At this age, for a martial artist, whether he is pursuing the realm of martial arts or wanting to capture and fight with others, he has just started.
But Jiang Ergou didn't have those thoughts. When he came from Dachu to Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiang Ergou would go up and try his fists whenever someone tried to challenge him.
But now! Jiang Ergou is more willing to stand in the audience and watch, just like the old man looked at him in the audience.
Lingzhou Huai'an County, the county seat is Huai'an. Like Yuzhou Maple Leaf City, there is also a place in Huai'an City similar to Baiwu Lane.
The only difference from Baiwu Alley in Maple Leaf City is that there is an arena in Huai'an City, which is mainly used for competitions between various martial arts schools.
There is a conflict between the two martial arts schools because of the competition for disciples! Foreign martial artists want to open a martial arts gym in Huai'an City. In short, all matters related to the martial arts gym can be resolved in this arena.
In addition, there is another rule. Apart from deep grudges such as killing a son and seizing a wife, after the usual minor conflicts are fought in the ring, neither martial arts school can dwell on them too much.
Under such rules, the city of Huai'an became more martial-admiring and at the same time avoided a lot of unnecessary hatred.
Today is a big day for many martial arts gyms in Huai'an City. The two largest martial arts gyms in the city are going to decide who is the most powerful martial arts gym in Huai'an County today.
The owners of these two martial arts schools have recently broken through to the second-level realm. Before that, the two schools were often jealous of the words "biggest" and "most powerful". Now that the owners have broken through the realm, they can barely be regarded as being in the world.
After becoming a master, such battles will naturally intensify.
The second level is called the Little Grandmaster realm, and the more powerful second level masters can sweep the world in the era when the first level is not available.
Nowadays, there are more and more masters, and first-level masters are often known to people, but it is still very simple for second-level masters to dominate a county or a city.
On the ring, the masters of the two martial arts schools frequently fought against each other amid the shouts of the disciples behind them.
It makes sense for the second-grade to be called a little grandmaster. One of the two people on the stage wields a tiger-headed sword, and the other wields a silver spear. The battle between swords and guns, coupled with the strength of the two second-grades, makes the stage more difficult.
The audience on the stage let out a burst of exclamations from time to time.
It can be seen that in addition to comparing themselves to each other, these two people also want to recruit disciples through martial arts competition. It can be estimated that after this martial arts competition, the two of them will conquer 80% of the people in Huai'an who want to practice martial arts.
As for the remaining 20%, I'm afraid they were scared away by the high registration fees of these two martial arts schools.
Under the ring, in addition to the ordinary warriors and common people who kept exclaiming, there were a few people who seemed unusually calm, and even made comments from time to time.
The competition between the two people in the ring not only occasionally made these people shine with a clever move, but also made these people shake their heads and sigh.
It seems to be saying that these two people have the second-level realm but do not know how to achieve the wonderful harmony between the operation of internal energy and the flow of qi between heaven and earth.
But this is based on the high strength of Jiang Ergou and the others.
In terms of strength, among their group, except for the young monk Qingfa and the little peach blossom girl who do not practice martial arts, among Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun, even Lin Yuanhuan, who is the least powerful in martial arts, can defeat the two people on the stage.
Beat him down.
"Er Gou, you think if I go up and beat those two people down, how about I open a martial arts gym in Huai'an City?"
Jiang Ergou laughed softly.
"Then I wish Master He a prosperous business and great wealth. If you make a fortune in the future, don't forget to give us some money to spend."
Lin Yuanhuan smiled on the side and imitated Jiang Ergou's hand-holding gesture. He looked really cute and playful.
The young monk Qingfa touched his bare head and said.
"Master He, the young monk's requirements are not high. In the future, he can just go to Hanshan Temple to burn incense. When he returns to the temple in the future, the young monk will definitely pray for Master He in front of the Buddha."
The little peach blossom girl was much more cheerful than at the beginning, but she was still rarely willing to talk. At this time, she just smiled happily beside the little monk Qingfa and did not speak.
He Huaichun naturally knew that these people in front of him were laughing at him, but he thought it would be good to open a martial arts gym! Then he would recruit a few more female disciples, wouldn't it...
He Huaichun didn't dare to think about the rest, because his father would have his legs broken.
After arriving at the county seat of Huai'an County, it was not far from their destination.
Changping County is a large county under the jurisdiction of Huai'an County. It ranks among the best in Huai'an County in terms of economic level and people's livelihood and welfare.
But what I'm afraid no one knows is that the famous assassin organization Ange will set up an extremely important branch here.
As the general person in charge of the Ange in Lingzhou, Gui Xiao is responsible for all matters concerning the Ange in Lingzhou, big and small.
This is also the reason why he was the one to lead the team when the Jiang family was destroyed.
At the beginning, the Jiang family was just a martial arts family that had just been promoted to the second level. If it weren't for a second-level master Jiang Ziyan who came out of the family, I am afraid that Gui Xiao would not have personally participated in the destruction of the Jiang family at that time.
Therefore, even if the whole Jiang family was killed at that time, the ripples caused in the world were not big. In addition, due to the secret manipulation of the Ange, I am afraid that the news of the Jiang family's annihilation did not spread very far at that time.
This is why Baixiao Pavilion, who takes shelter from the Heaven-nuisance Sect, has the unpredictable ability to tell Jiang Ergou the information he wants at the first time.
If you were asking about other quacks, I'm afraid the first question would be: Jiang family? Which Jiang family are you talking about?
But fortunately, Jiang Ergou now knows the most critical point. As the person in charge of the destruction of the Jiang family at that time, Gui Xiao must have known everyone involved in this matter at that time.
As long as you catch the ghost lord yourself, you won't have to worry about finding someone to take revenge.
The reason why Jiang Ergou and his party appeared in Huai'an at this moment is simply because this place is the only way to Changping County.
In addition, Jiang Ergou didn't mention the purpose of the trip to He Huaichun and others along the way, so they walked slowly, but they counted on the time to reach Changping County in two days.
.
The purpose of this trip, Jiang Ergou told He Huaichun, was to help him find Yang Dongqing. This made He Huaichun, who had always thought that Yang Dongqing was still at the junction of Dachu and Southern Tang, a little confused: Yang Dongqing came to the mausoleum for no reason.
Why are you here in Zhouzhou? I haven't heard that there are any masters of swordsmanship here!
But out of trust in Ergou, He Huaichun still followed him all the way. Besides, without Jiang Ergou's introduction, even if he found Yang Dongqing, they would not necessarily pay attention to him.
Two days later, Changping County, a small and medium-sized city, appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Er Gou, is Yang Dongqing really here? Are there any hidden masters in Lingzhou?"
He Huaichun looked at Changping County, which was considered to be prosperous, and couldn't believe that Yang Dongqing would settle down here.
Would he still believe that he was passing by and living here? Maybe Yang Dongqing had fallen in love with a pretty widow in the city.
"Yang Dongqing is not here. I came here because of some personal matters of mine. Once things are settled here, we will go to Southern Tang."
Only here did Jiang Ergou reveal his true feelings.
It's not that he deliberately held it back, but that Jiang Ergou himself was still unwilling to mention it before. He still couldn't understand some of the things his master said to him at the shore of the East China Sea.
"good."
Seeing the sincerity shown in Ergou's eyes, even though He Huaichun had guessed that he was not here to find Yang Dongqing, he still chose to forgive.
These days, his sword skills have also made good progress. Although he has taken many detours, his martial arts realm is already close to the peak of the second level.
That night, Jiang Ergou got up after everyone was asleep, and walked out of the city alone in a black robe.
But what he didn't know was that that night, apart from the heartless young monk and the peach blossom girl, He Huaichun and Lin Yuanhuan also did not fall asleep.
Maybe he knew, but everyone understood it tacitly, and no one said anything. And the two people who had stayed up all night did not pursue Jiang Ergou in the direction in which he disappeared.
Ten miles to the north outside the city, according to the exact information obtained in Baixiao Pavilion, the Ange branch is here.
But after arriving at the place, Jiang Ergou discovered that it was a small plain, and when he looked up he could only see the peaks in the distance.
No matter how Jiang Ergou looked at this place now, it didn't look like a place where he could hide people.
Can Ange still fly to the sky?
If it's not in heaven, it's underground!
But Jiang Ergou really doesn't have that much time to dig up the ground.
"There is no way to survive in the poor and blue sky, and the underworld is in the palm of a hundred thousand souls."
Jiang Ergou saw this sentence accidentally when he was in Baixiao Pavilion in the capital, but Jiang Ergou had a feeling that the people from Baixiao Pavilion had deliberately revealed it to him.
So at this moment, Jiang Ergou read out this sentence without thinking.
He thought this sentence was a code word used to communicate with the people in the secret chamber.
In the quiet night sky, Jiang Ergou's voice spread far and wide, and Jiang Ergou quietly used some internal energy, so his voice kept echoing in the air.
A quarter of an hour passed, and still no one showed up, but Jiang Ergou still didn't move because he had noticed that someone was observing him.
If Jiang Ergou was serious, he could have found out the location of that person in the next second, but Jiang Ergou still did not choose to do this because he was afraid of alerting the enemy.
After another cup of tea, a lump of earth suddenly rose up on the ground in the distance, and then a piece of land was turned up. Then two people came out of the ground and galloped towards the direction where Jiang Ergou was.
"Who are you? You can actually touch here."
"If a big deal comes to your door, you can do it or not."
Hearing Jiang Ergou say this, the two looked at each other and then said in unison.
"There is no business in the world that I don't do in the dark pavilion."
