Kyoto was shocked again. First, many officers and soldiers broke into the homes of those second- and third-rate aristocratic families. Soon, they suppressed the heads of the aristocratic families and their children and came out. Another group of aristocratic families came out. , everything was ransacked overnight, and the bodies of two aristocratic families were found in an area outside the city.
Everyone knows that this is the beginning of liquidation in Kyoto, so no one dares to say anything. As for those small aristocratic families that have not yet been liquidated, they have begun to plead guilty, hoping to be treated leniently, not to mention preserving the family. The foundation, at least save the lives of the family members.
In fact, these aristocratic families didn't do many wrong things in this incident. They just stood on the wrong team. Naturally, all the family's legacy would be wiped out, but their lives would naturally be spared.
Immediately afterwards, news came from the palace.
It is said that a new group of courtiers will be recruited in the palace in the near future, so that those scholars can prepare well and strive to pass the scientific examination and serve the court.
This is really good news for scholars. Over the years, no matter how big or small the officials in Kyoto are, they have actually become a carrot or a pit. Although some of them were removed at the time of Zhennanhou, some positions have always been like that. Leave it empty, or someone from below will take over.
This time can be regarded as a big reshuffle, and those scholars were immediately eager to try and pass this scientific examination.
As for some warriors, they naturally hope to become military attachés in the court and stand out, so the martial arts examination is naturally on the agenda.
In Kyoto, there is a prosperous situation.
The common people all lamented Sun Gusheng's ability, and at the same time they did not forget it.
The Gu family, who had contributed a lot in this incident, had many places giving the green light to the Gu family's people, and the Gu family's business immediately doubled again.
The people were full of praise for Gu Xiaotian. The name of this young hero was really not for nothing.
While everyone was talking about it, no one knew that Gu Xiaotian had quietly left Kyoto and was preparing to go north.
Gu Xiaotian has already done this before. Most of the things in the north have been solved. Under the leadership of the Xu family, Beihuang has become increasingly stable. However, this time, Gu Xiaotian doesn’t just want to go to the Xu family. Meet the Xu family, and a letter from Gu Qingfeng a few days ago, in which he hoped that Gu Xiaotian could go north again.
Before leaving Kyoto, Gu Xiaotian specifically said goodbye to Sun Gusheng. The two life-and-death brothers actually didn't say anything special when they said goodbye. They just told them to be careful on the road.
Of course, the Secret Investigation Department will continue to keep an eye on the affairs of the Ten Thousand Demons Association.
All the demons of the Ten Thousand Demons Association have been wiped out, but the flying birds are nowhere to be found. No matter what, they cannot be taken lightly.
Asuka can form a Ten Thousand Demons Association in such a short period of time. Even if it is destroyed now, it is possible that a new Ten Thousand Demons Association will be formed in the future.
…
…
As early winter approaches, the weather is getting colder.
Fortunately, it's not snowing yet in Kyoto, but as you go further north, there's already some snow here.
The carriage slowly traveled north in the snow, and the wheels rolled over the snow, leaving a long trace.
The driver was dressed in white and had a sword on his back. He looked young, in his early twenties. His appearance was not very handsome, but his eyes were bright and lively.
if
In the past, this person should not be the driver at this time, but there was no way. The car was empty. Even if I wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve my boredom, there was no response. It was very lonely to move slowly in the snow.
The young man driving the car chuckled and said, "This is probably the first time this has happened."
There is still a long way to go from the Northern Wasteland, and the bored young man can only find a way to relieve his fatigue.
He pulled out the long sword from behind, let the long sword hover beside him, flicked it with his fingers, and the long sword buzzed several times.
Then, he started to play with his fingers in different positions, and the buzzing sounds were different, and soon a different kind of rhythm was formed.
This scene actually attracted a lot of people coming and going.
In their impression, the man with the sword should be cold and silent. This appearance is really rare.
Most swordsmen in the world are taciturn, which is already a stereotype.
Passing through a small town, it was getting late. Gu Xiaocai put away his long sword and wanted to find an inn to rest temporarily.
Just when he arrived at an inn, Gu Xiaotian got off the carriage, paid the waiter some money, and asked the waiter to take care of his carriage. He walked into the inn, came to the counter, and asked: "Sir, are there any other guests?" Room?"
Before the shopkeeper could speak, he heard another set of footsteps outside the inn.
"We want the remaining rooms in the inn!"
Gu Xiaotian looked back and saw only three people on the other side. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a solemn face, and the two people behind him were a man and a woman with delicate faces.
The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Judging from the way the other three were dressed, they should be three monks.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the leader up and down
The man's realm is not high and he has just entered the transformation realm. As for the two behind him, his realm is even lower. They should be the apprentices of the leading man.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said awkwardly: "Sir, we only have the last two rooms left in our store. Besides, this little brother is here first. How about you three just make do with each other and share a room?"
If it were normal times, the shopkeeper would definitely give these two rooms to the three monks without hesitation.
But when Gu Xiaotian was outside the inn before, he gave the waiter a lot of tips. Naturally, the shopkeeper saw it. Coupled with Gu Xiaotian's dress, it was obvious at a glance that this person was not simple. This kind of person was also offended. Not worth it.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper has a bright mind and can speak well, and he quickly got rid of this big trouble. Anyway, I will tell you that there are two rooms. As for how to divide them, you decide for yourself.
The leading man looked at Gu Xiaotian, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please give us these two rooms."
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Gu Xiaotian said in a good voice: "That's not appropriate. I've been traveling all the way. In my opinion, one person per room is the most reasonable."
The leading man frowned and said in a somewhat displeased tone: "Brother, please give us Guyun Guan some face."
As soon as he heard about Guyun Temple, the shopkeeper was startled at first, and quickly moved to Gu Xiaotian's side, saying softly: "Sir, the other party is from Guyun Temple. We can't afford to offend him. Please give up this room." Give it to them, I’ll help you find another place, okay?”
Gu Xiaotian looked confused.
He had heard of Zhenwu Temple, and when did Guyun Temple pop up.
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "I don't care what you think. I live in this room today."
deal. "
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian was not showing any respect, the leading man instantly lost his good temper.
A stream of sect auras slowly emerged from his sleeves, and soon they were intertwined, hovering and sideways. He stared at Gu Xiaotian and said angrily: "My little friend should have just entered the world not long ago. I haven't heard of it before." The name of my Guyunguan is indeed normal. Now I am asking my little friend, do you want to give me this room or not?"
The leading man thought he could scare Gu Xiaotian away by letting out his aura.
Along the way, Gu Xiaotian has been suppressing his energy in line with the principle of doing more than doing less. At this moment, in the eyes of the leader, Gu Xiaotian is just a general who has entered the White Rainbow Realm. It's not worth mentioning in front of me.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaotian suddenly pulled out his long sword, looked at the man, and said with a smile: "Guyun Temple, right? It's so loud. I want to give it a try to see what's so great about Guyun Temple."
"You little bastard, you're looking for death!"
The leading man was furious and smacked his palm, causing the Taoist aura to disperse in an instant.
The shopkeeper hurriedly shrank his head and hid under the counter, crying even more in his heart. This inn must be destroyed, and he didn't know how much money it would cost to repair it.
The Taoist aura gradually approached Gu Xiaotian, but Gu Xiaotian remained unmoved.
The leading man sneered disdainfully, thinking that this young man was so capable, but in the end he was just a big talker.
However, the next moment, the leading man suddenly felt a pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, a sword touched his chest.
In an instant, the leading man flew backwards like a kite with its string broken, hit the wall, and fell heavily.
Down.
The leading man coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and looked up at the young man.
Just one glance made the leading man almost want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
This is not the White Rainbow Realm, it is clearly the Martial Chi Realm!
Gu Xiaotian didn't really want to take this man's life, he just wanted to teach him a lesson. He walked to the counter, dropped a bag of silver, picked up the key to a room, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I'll take this silver as an apology, and please bring breakfast to my room early tomorrow."
The man who was beaten and vomiting blood was still frightened. He stood up slowly, took the key to the room from the counter, and was helped up the stairs by two young men behind him.
…
…
In the room, the young man said: "Uncle Master, we finally came out and offended such a great Buddha. Do you think he will hold a grudge?"
The young man's concerns are justified.
If something like this happens in the Jianghu, some people like to report it on the spot, while others like to report it after a while, but if you are beaten or killed, you can’t blame anyone. Outsiders will only say that you are weak. If you If you can defeat him, how can you be bullied by others?
The leading man leaned on the bed, his face a little pale, and said softly: "Evian, take out the things we brought and apologize to the man. I hope he doesn't take it to heart."
The young woman named Yiyun was stunned and hesitantly said: "Dad, we at Guyun Temple got this thing with great difficulty, so we just gave it away like this?"
The leading man sighed: "I can't help it, it's because my father is blind. Although this thing is precious, it is nothing compared to life."
. "
The reason why the leading man had that idea was because of Gu Xiaotian's look at that time.
That look was really terrifying.
Looking at Gu Xiaotian's appearance, he is only in his early twenties, but he has that look in his eyes, and he has reached the realm of martial arts madness. It is difficult to imagine who is standing behind this young man, and how high he stands.
