The sound of swords originated from the martial arts arena on Gusu West Street.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen was attracted by the exciting fight in the ring.
There were not many onlookers, most of them glanced into the arena and then went to do their own thing. In Gusu City, such competitions in the ring were all too common.
The martial arts arena is the only place in Gusu City where fighting is allowed. This was originally an unwritten rule, and was later explicitly stated by the Gusu government.
Suzhou City is a safe island for all forces to temporarily stop fighting, but it is far-fetched to completely ban martial arts on this safe island. The derivative product is a martial arts field that provides competition and competition. After all, in this era when everyone is martial arts, there are also many people who feel they are good at martial arts and need a place to show off their skills and show off their power.
In the martial arts arena, there are mostly sparring and competitions, and you must not injure anyone's vitals or cause serious injury, let alone hurt someone's life. But there are also life-and-death fights. Each person signs a life-and-death certificate in the presence of officials, and then they can fight to the death in the ring.
These rules can be strictly adhered to for decades. In addition to the official regulations, it is also a matter of face-saving and mutual restraint by various forces. Anyone who breaks the rules will be pushed to the forefront, wanted by the government, and attacked by all parties.
The martial arts arena is three feet wide and six feet long, standing on the water. About five groups of opponents can compete on the stage at the same time. On weekdays, two government officials are specially assigned to be on duty here. Their martial arts skills are not high, and they only maintain order within the scope of their abilities. If an accident occurs, they will also put their own lives at risk. Their role is mostly to bear witness to life and death fights or to report unexpected situations to Zixuan Palace.
It was still early in the day, and there were only two people competing in the ring. For passers-by who often watch fight scenes, they have long been accustomed to it, and only those who are quite bored stopped to watch. Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, was just a curious kid and was attracted here. The fight on stage was really an eye-opener for him.
On the stage were a young swordsman and a middle-aged swordsman. The swordsman looked capable and mature, while the swordsman seemed to be slightly inferior in martial arts, but he was not inferior in terms of momentum. On the contrary, he faintly surpassed the swordsman.
The situation on the field was like this. The swordsman failed to touch the swordsman with his fierce and powerful chops again and again. Yes, he failed to touch the swordsman. The young swordsman hardly got close to the swordsman, relying entirely on his sword energy to bombard him from a distance.
For a swordsman, there is no doubt that being successful in practicing swords, having the greatest lethality and being able to carry out long-range attacks is due to sword energy. However, judging from the fact that he can use sword energy so frequently without showing signs of fatigue, this young man The swordsman's physical strength and strength should not be underestimated. If his guess is correct, he should have developed deep internal skills to protect him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to appear confident and calm in such a fight.
The swordsman is a martial artist who focuses on physical training. He is very muscular, but he is really powerless against enemies that he cannot reach, so he can only attack and chase after them. After finally gathering up the strength, Zhao Suoyun came and pulled the swordsman towards him, and slashed down with his sword. However, the swordsman greased his feet with wind and quickly pulled away to dodge, allowing the swordsman to miss the blow.
Over time, although the swordsman seems to have higher combat power, the swordsman is better because of his dexterity, using his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. As time goes on, the swordsman gradually shows fatigue, and the swordsman finally waits for the opportunity to counterattack.
Swish, brush, brush! Three sword qi came in succession, and the swordsman barely managed to block them, but the tiger's mouth was so numb that he could no longer hold the sword, so he had to admit defeat and accept the defeat.
After leaving the martial arts arena, Jiang Yichen was still filled with memories of the fight just now, longing for the day when he could develop the deep internal skills and strength like a young swordsman.
Alas, it would be better to have fewer distracting thoughts at this time.
Jiang Yichen cleared his mind and made clear his goal today. He must visit Gusu City!
Find key information so you can plan your next move. After all, you are not here to relax. If you don't get to the old man within the specified time, you will have to go home.
Strolling through the city of Suzhou, you can appreciate the beauty of Jiangnan in early spring. The beauty of Jiangnan is hazy and simple, it is playing chess leisurely under the trees, drinking wine drunkenly among the flowers, and sipping tea calmly in the courtyard. Green water surrounds the white walls, red flowers fall on the green tiles, and the meandering river sings softly in the early morning. Take a small boat and travel through the green water with small bridges. The two sides of the bank are mottled by the wind and waves and the drifting of eternal tenderness. What is carried by a clear water is the traces and vicissitudes of the passing years.
"There are caves in the beautiful mountains and rivers, and ancient buildings and small towns are leaning against the windows. The setting sun reflects the willows, and I look at the world of mortals with a glass of wine." Perhaps this is the best summary of the humanistic style of Suzhou.
Time passed by unconsciously, and at some point Jiang Yichen walked into a small alley somewhere. A faint fragrance of orchids drifted into his nose from the courtyard inside the partition wall, warming his heart and spleen.
Although he felt a little rude, but out of curiosity, Jiang Yichen made sure that there were no passers-by in this alley, then he jumped up the wall and looked into the courtyard.
In the green brick and white stone courtyard, in an inconspicuous and secluded corner, a few orchids were exuding the breath of the early morning. Jiang Yichen, who usually does not like to touch flowers and plants, was actually attracted by them. He will slowly appreciate them. At this moment, there was a sound of soft footsteps, and a woman appeared in the courtyard, seemingly to take care of the orchids. Soon, she noticed the sight of strangers, and then looked towards the wall.
At that moment, Jiang Yichen was stunned and had no time to hide. He wanted to explain that he was only attracted by the fragrance of flowers to enjoy the flowers, but he couldn't open his mouth and his face turned red instantly. The situation was very embarrassing.
After a while, Jiang Yichen regained his courage and finally explained to others clearly. He was about to speak, but he felt a murderous aura in front of him. The woman still did not move where she was, but the murderous aura released between her brows and eyes was enough to kill several people. Jiang Yichen.
The woman didn't know that Jiang Yichen's fixed gaze was not out of rudeness, but out of daze.
After a while, Jiang Yichen was finally awakened by the murderous aura. Only then did he realize that the woman's figure was so similar to the woman he met at the Yunbo Inn when he went out in the morning. Her clothes were also ordinary, but there was no veil on her face. The important thing was Yes, this woman is really beautiful.
The woman is elegant and elegant, with an aura of lightness and aura like orchids. Her beautiful eyebrows are slightly frowned, making her look so pleasant even if she is angry.
Suddenly, Jiang Yichen finally realized that it was rude and offensive to stare at the woman like this. His red face, which had finally cooled down, blushed in the blink of an eye. His eyes left the woman as if they were fleeing, and he dropped to the wall, with his back pressed against the wall, looking around. He was looking around to see if anyone had noticed him, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
Jiang Yichen no longer had the guts, bah, no guts anymore, to check if the woman was still there. He found a direction and rushed out of the alley that made him bump into each other, and returned to the crowds of people in Gusu.
He always thought he had escaped from this flowery nightmare, but before he knew it, Jiang Yichen arrived in front of the Yichun Courtyard, which was filled with flowers, wine, greenery, and spring scenery.
Distraught and absent-minded, Jiang Yichen was suddenly dragged into Yichun Courtyard while walking on the street.
"Hey, little brother, looking at your face, you seem to be in love for the first time. Come in and drink with your sister and let her give you some advice, hehe." A woman with a plump figure in a thin blouse with cicada wings was flirting and teasing as she just turned from the street. As a young chick, I was thinking that being able to entertain such a young meat would not only give me a taste, but if I could also get some money out of him, it would be a really great deal, and I couldn't help laughing out loud while thinking about it.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen, who was being led inside by her arm, woke up from a dream, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, completely losing her composure, and her body refused to obey her orders as she moved step by step into Yichun Courtyard.
Yichunyuan is the only Fireworks Willow Alley in the inner city of Suzhou. It occupies most of the land in the northeast corner of Gusu City. Its scale cannot be overemphasized. The facilities and various entertainment methods inside are also dazzling. The most important thing is that the girls here are all beautiful and versatile, which is enough to make people linger.
There are many girls in Yichun Court, but most of them are performing arts rather than selling themselves. The leading oiran is as simple and elegant as a green lotus, and appears like a fairy. With just a touch of pink and white, she looks like a charming woman. A piece of konghou plays with the heartstrings, and a song The flute soothes the soul, and many literati and poets put down their posture and step into Yichun Courtyard just to listen to the overwhelming sounds of nature.
Under the light dust, there are eight more red cards: Yingchun, Pinellia, Autumn Cut, Honeysuckle, Ruolan, Ruoxun, Ruoxuan, and Ruowei. They are peerless in their elegance, and each leads the way. It can also attract many elegant gentlemen to miss Shu, and so on. There is no need to elaborate on the girl. Therefore, even though it is still morning, like the bustling crowds on the street, Yichun Courtyard is already bustling with people. Businessmen, dignitaries, rich boys, etc., all come here for anything. Look for flowers and willows, and live a carefree life.
What Jiang Yichen was brought into was not a splendid and elegant area in heaven and earth, but a large mixed area with a mixture of fish and dragons and mostly ordinary people. Everywhere he went, there were embarrassing foul language and unsightly vulgar behavior. After finally raising his eyes, he saw a wretched old man in gold and silver, his hands seductively placed on the breasts of a girl in red.
Even though Jiang Yichen had never had sex before, he was blushing with shame when he saw this scene. In broad daylight, there was such a disrespectful person, disrespectful to the elderly, disrespectful to the elderly, and this girl was really astray. .
"Okay, okay! Hey hey hey!" The old master's face was red, but he was definitely not ashamed, but horny.
The speaker is careless and the listener is shocked!
The old master's actions and words kept echoing in Jiang Yichen's mind, a familiar scene!
