In the Sui Dynasty, Kutan was the prefecture and city of Jiuxian. On the left side of the city, there are dozens of acres of pear orchards. It is late autumn, but pear blossoms are in full bloom.
The autumn rain falls continuously, making it look like pear blossoms with rain. A carriage that is simple on the outside but luxurious on the inside is coming from afar.
From the small town of Xinan to Huncheng, the road to the county town is naturally not smooth. But it was said that the opportunity was rare, so Jiang Wang and Yao Guanhai discussed it for a while and then transferred to the county town.
In fact, Jiuxian County is called Jiuxian Town. This is the birthplace of Kutan and even the entire Sui Dynasty’s winemaking technology.
With the cultural gap caused by the Battle of Zhushen and Mozhang, many things have to be re-examined. Jiuxian Town has thousands of years of heritage and was the first place to sublimate wine-making technology in the New Sui Dynasty. Even though it has become a county, the name of the town has never been changed. .
Although it is called a town, it is basically called a county town outside, and it can be regarded as one of the largest towns in Kutan.
When leading the way out and entering the town, Jiang Wangyou noticed that monks in the Hundred Days Foundation Building Stage appeared in twos and threes in an endless stream. There were even many monks in the Underworld Realm and martial artists in the Third Realm on the street.
Thinking that it deserves to be the county seat of Jiuxian County, compared to the fact that if not for the arrival of the Immortal Seekers, Hun City would only have one monk, Tong Bo. In the past, I only thought that Tong Bo was an ordinary person. Although there were some warriors, they were only at the second level. The situations are simply not comparable.
The sight of monks and warriors gathering together is a rare sight in Huncheng for decades, but in the county town it is a daily occurrence. Yao Guanhai drove the carriage, counted with his fingers, and said: "Although this scene is normal in the county, it is also rare to see people wandering directly on the street. I frowned and knew that this matter was not simple. I am afraid it was because of They are very active because of the sacrifice of sages. In a few days, the number of monks and warriors will be even greater." Jiang Wang frowned and said: "Sacrifice of sages is a major event in the Sui Dynasty. There are clear locations in each realm, and they all come here. What are you doing in the county?" Yao Guanhai choked, thinking that Jiang Wang was an old monster who had been hiding in the world for many years and knew nothing about the outside world.
But he still said with a smile: "On the Ganqi Sacrifice Day in October, the entire Sui Dynasty worshiped. Every family had to light incense and pray for blessings. Starting from the second day, they had to prepare for the autumn festivals in various places. It was actually very boring. .”
"In the final analysis, it is about selecting talents, so as not to miss out on the talents recruited by the court, or the powerful people allocate resources to their own juniors."
"One of the purposes of the Autumn Festival is to show the ancestors who have fallen for the great age that their descendants are prospering. It is also to give the young people and daughters of the Sui people a chance to leap over the dragon's gate."
"As long as they have the qualifications but have nowhere to go, they can take this opportunity to shine, and even become officials in the court."
"Before that, each county naturally had to have a round of selection. Only the top ten in the county examination would be eligible to participate in the autumn festival of the first realm. Qingxuan Department, Wushen Temple, Yuyuan Academy, and even sects in each realm were all selected. Can choose satisfactory disciples." Yao Guanhai stroked his beard and said: "The leaders of each realm will eventually have to enter the palace of Shendu to take an examination and directly face the saints. They have a bright future." Jiang Wang said softly: "But although Shendu has good intentions, everyone will be allowed to win. Everyone has a chance, but the powerful are still there. It’s not that easy to be truly fair." Yao Guanhai said: "Having said that, at least there is no chance anymore." Jiang Wang smiled and followed the car window. Looking at the people taking shelter from the rain, the warriors walking in the rain, and the monks who were not touched by the rain, he silently affixed another nectar charm to himself.
Zhao Si drew a total of seventy-four nectar charms, twenty-five divine movement charms, forty-three thunder charms, nineteen cooling charms, and six good luck charms. Only two cups of tea were used to draw these charms.
Jiang Wang has already used some. In fact, he knew very well that the most important nectar talisman might be used up halfway if he delayed on his way back to Huncheng.
But talismans like this are sold in slightly larger towns. After all, ordinary heavenly masters have to live. Even if the nectar talismans they draw are less effective, Jiang Wang is rich and powerful.
Then all problems will cease to be problems. Just so willful. The carriage that was moving slowly forward suddenly stopped. Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and as soon as his consciousness entered the Kingdom of God, he stepped back and asked, "What's wrong?" Before Yao Guanhai could speak, Jiang Wang had already opened the curtain and saw a carriage directly opposite. , there are people dressed as guards on both sides wearing bamboo hats, sabers hanging on their waists, and their faces are very stern.
Jiang Wang looked around and said: "You are not blocking the road, just stagger, why are you coming straight towards us?" The guard on the right said calmly: "My young master likes to go straight, you just stagger, move quickly. "Yao Guanhai sneered and said: "The bad habits of rich people." Jiang Wangze said objectively: "Everyone has their own habits, so it's not a problem. After all, they are nice and talkative, and they don't run rampant in the streets." His words Just as he landed, the guards on the opposite side had already drawn their swords.
"My young master's patience is limited. If you don't retreat, I will dismantle your carriage and drive straight ahead." Jiang Wang was helpless and said, "Isn't this a slap in the face? Sure enough, bad habits cannot be tolerated." The county is very big, but There are more problems than Huncheng, and even a playboy like Du Zicheng does not have such momentum.
Yao Guanhai tightened the reins and asked: "Staggered?" Jiang Wang silently adjusted his clothes and said with a smile: "Let's go straight." Yao Guanhai grinned. Although we have withdrawn from the world, we still have a temper. In the past, when we encountered this kind of He directly greeted him with his fist, and Jiang Wang seemed to have this intention.
On the one hand, it would be humiliating to retreat, and on the other hand, the carriage would really be dismantled. Jiang Wang's body could not bear the rain.
Speak politely and then back away. Jiang Wang will not be used to it if you have to say something that doesn't sit well with you. Yao Guanhai raised his whip, the horse neighed, and the carriage suddenly accelerated, throwing Jiang Wang directly onto the back seat. He quickly put his hands on the wooden boards on both sides and shouted: "I asked you to go straight, I didn't ask you to speed up!" Those guards did not Thinking of such a sudden change, he immediately blocked the front, drew his sword and slashed at the speeding carriage.
Yao Guanhai just waved lightly, and the guards flew out to both sides and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing that the two carriages were about to collide, the driver on the opposite side reacted in time, reined in his horse and staggered, and the carriages passed by each other. Yao Guanhai did not stop. , continued to run quickly, letting out a hearty laugh.
"Young Master!" The guards gathered around, helping the carriages and horses, but no one dared to lift the curtains and could only wait for the young master's reply.
After a long time, a crisp sound came from the carriage,
"Find out who that person is and dismantle his carriage." The guards bowed and accepted the order. But the leading guard said cautiously: "Sir, look at the old man who was driving just now, he is very capable." A faint voice came from the carriage,
"Huh?" The guards suddenly felt chills all over their bodies and straightened their backs in unison.
"Young men, please mobilize your manpower and work hard to complete the Young Master's instructions!"...in front of a certain wine shop.
Jiang looked down at the carriage and coughed weakly. Yao Guanhai handed the carriage to the wine shop clerk and glanced at Jiang Wang with a strange expression. He was indeed an old monster. Even if he returned to his original nature, he still had the posture of an old man. Even though I am in my seventies, I am not like him, right?
Instructing the waiter to heat up a pot of wine, Jiang Wangtuan huddled in the corner and asked curiously: "The county government's control is very light. We were driving fast on the street and no one asked us?" Yao Guanhai said: "I used to just I've been here once, but if you want to say that the county governs it lightly, you're totally wrong. When it comes to Kutan, the first thing that monks and warriors think of is the Sword God. When it comes to Jiuxian County, not to mention the monks and warriors. , even ordinary people, the first thing they think of is the county governor." Jiang Wang said blankly: "I haven't heard of it." Yao Guanhai was used to it, and he followed Jiang Wang, eating and drinking all the way. , he explained patiently: "The governor of Jiuxian County is actually a martial artist. No one knows how strong he is. All he knows is that anyone who dares to cause trouble in the county will be suppressed on the street if he ignores the martial arts monk."
"So the government office doesn't patrol the streets easily. It's really unnecessary. As for why no one cares about us, it's really strange. Maybe the county guard is snoozing and hasn't gotten up yet?" The food and wine were already on the table, and Yao Guanhai started directly. Eat, doubts about this are quickly forgotten.
But Jiang Wang was speechless. Seeing that it was getting dark, he hadn't gotten up yet? This is ridiculous! After all, he didn't think much about it. After all, although the carriage was driving quickly, it was raining and there were few people on the street. The monks and warriors were not in the middle of the street. It was harmless. It was reasonable for the county guard to be too lazy to take action.
Jiang Wang raised his eyes casually, and saw a guard wearing a hat hurriedly hiding his figure outside the restaurant. He said funnyly: "We are being targeted." Yao Guanhai ate and drank wine, and said vaguely: " No one in the county dares to make trouble, and the so-called dandy kids are much smarter than elsewhere. They know where the bottom line is. Even if they want to retaliate, they will only use normal means and ignore it." In just half an hour, the concerned Jiang The hopeless situation has appeared in the hands of that young master.
The leader of the guard lowered his eyebrows and said: "This man is from Huncheng in Jiuxian County. His surname is Jiang Mingwang. He is the young marquis of Xunyang Marquis. My subordinates suspect that he is the man who defeated the great demon Wuhou and destroyed Yueman Xilou. After all, there should be only one monk named Jiang Wang in Hun City. Young Master...should we forget it?" I really don't know if I don't check, and I was shocked when I checked.
The guard leader looked calm on the outside, but was panicking inside. That was a great monk in the Snow Bathing Realm, the pinnacle existence of Kutan!
Isn’t this just lighting a lamp in the latrine? The young master played with the embroidery needle and threw away the letter that recorded Jiang Wang's situation. The embroidery needle flew out and nailed the letter directly to the door.
"I have been outside for more than 20 years, but when I was a child, I heard my father mention Xunyang Hou."
"He moved his family to Huncheng and caused quite a stir in Jiuxian County. Except for Yueman Xilou, the sects on the mountain were either destroyed, left Jiuxian County, or dormant. Since he is the son of Xunyang Marquis, It will be interesting to think about it." The guard leader could no longer maintain his composure, you are really brave, sir.
Not only is it interesting, it’s also scary to death!
