Lu Zhiqing and Dai Qisi don't have time to accompany them crazy. Now Lu Zhiqing spends most of her time educating Wuji and has no time to do anything else. Xiao Zhao is too young and Dai Qisi can't leave.
Without the following of her two sisters, Lu Zhixi was even more excited. It was just herself and her brother-in-law. This time, she could do whatever she wanted. Her brother-in-law would only follow her and would never control her.
Xie Xun also wanted to see what kind of scene this group of people would fight in his own territory. If necessary, he would take action to prevent this group of people from being unscrupulous and treating Mingjiao as if it were nothing.
The most important thing for Mingjiao now is to protect the people from intrusion in order to attract more people.
On the wide avenue, there are actually not many pedestrians coming and going, which is incomparable to that in the Central Plains.
Xie Xun often goes down the mountain. Although the people here are not rich, they live and work in peace and contentment.
Now the Mongols have completely lost control here, otherwise they would not have let the Persian chief minister put pressure on them in the first place.
Xie Xun is dressed in a white robe and rides a tall horse, looking majestic.
Lu Zhixi wears green feathers and yellow clothes, her skin is as good as snow, her appearance is delicate, and she is also riding a horse.
The two of them did not bring any entourage, and they were in a leisurely manner along the way.
Xie Xun also observed carefully along the way and found that the number of people in the martial arts community was indeed increasing. He couldn't tell what sect they belonged to, but they all had martial arts skills and moved in a hurry.
Lu Zhixi also noticed it and said: "Brother-in-law, have you noticed that many people in the martial arts community are in a hurry. Let's follow them. There should be a lot of excitement."
Xie Xun nodded and said, "Okay, just take a look and don't act rashly."
But something embarrassing happened. The appearance of these two people was too outstanding. Even though the martial arts people were in a hurry, they were still full of vigilance. Even with Lu Zhixi's beauty, they were all wary in their eyes.
Xie Xun and Lu Zhixi had no choice but to wander around on their own. Going further and further eastward, we arrived at Xining Mansion, an important town in the western border.
Xining Prefecture had been included in the territory of the Mongol Empire as early as the period of Genghis Khan. It was close to the Central Plains, but the imperial court had very little control over it, and the Mingjiao influence here was increasing.
This is one of the few big cities in the border areas. It is not as prosperous as Jiangnan, but it is also second to none in the Western Region.
There are food sellers and entertainers on the street. There are also many inns and restaurants on both sides of the street, which is very lively.
Lu Zhixi found the largest restaurant, went to the second floor, sat on a seat facing the street, and watched the lively scene on the street while eating.
Lu Zhixi complained: "After walking for so long, there is no news about the dragon-slaying knife. When those martial arts people see us, they guard us like thieves. Why does this young lady look like a thief, so that they are so guarded? .”
Xie Xun smiled and said: "Of course you don't look like a thief, but you look like a robber, a robber who snatches the dragon-slaying knife. Now these people are all soldiers, and as long as they see you have some martial arts, they will think that you are here for the dragon-slaying knife. . However, they don’t think they have wronged you if they think so.”
Lu Zhixi said: "Are you still laughing? How can you find the dragon-slaying knife like this?"
Xie Xun said: "If you can't find it, it means the Dragon Sword is not destined for you, so you can give up."
Lu Zhixi said: "I just don't give up. We are almost reaching the Central Plains. You, the king of the Western Regions, are not reliable at all. You can lose the dragon-slaying knife in your own territory."
Xie Xun said: "First, I am not the king of the Western Region; second, the dragon-slaying knife has never been in my hand, so it cannot be lost; third, I don't want to snatch it at all."
Lu Zhixi continued to chatter, turning her anger into appetite and eating voraciously.
Xie Xun was not annoyed and started eating with her.
Lu Zhixi was young after all, so her attention was quickly diverted by the excitement on the street.
Not far from this restaurant, there was a group of people gathered around. Among them was a bear tamer playing with a red-haired bear. This red-haired bear was extremely intelligent and could understand human speech and perform various actions. The audience cheered loudly.
Lu Zhixi was attracted by it, had a hasty meal, then paid and ran over to watch the fun.
Xie Xun also walked over, and the two of them squeezed closer. Lu Zhixi watched with great interest and cheered from time to time.
Xie Xun looked at it for a while and found that the red bear was not big, just the size of an ordinary person, and it was really just like a human being. He could understand all the instructions of the bear tamer, and his movements were not clumsy.
Xie Xun's heart moved as he watched, and his face gradually darkened.
After looking at it for a long time, Lu Zhixi had almost finished it. She pulled Xie Xun and wanted to leave.
Xie Xun shook his head and did not move.
Lu Zhixi looked at Xie Xun in surprise, not knowing why.
Xie Xun didn't explain, he just stared at the red-haired turtle.
Lu Zhixi knew that Xie Xun saw something wrong. He must not be interested in juggling.
When night fell and the crowd dispersed, the bear tamer took the iron chain around the red-haired bear's neck and led it away.
Xie Xun took Lu Zhixi to follow from a distance.
Lu Zhixi was very excited and asked: "Brother-in-law, are they related to the Dragon Sword?"
Xie Xun shook his head and said, "No, let's go and have a look."
All the way to a ruined temple outside the city.
This dilapidated temple is very big, and there is a courtyard. There are many beggars inside, and they are disabled beggars with missing arms and legs. There are a few able-bodied people who are their leaders.
Xie Xun saw it from a distance, his expression worsened, and he walked straight in.
When these beggars saw an outsider breaking in, they all showed panic.
The able-bodied man in the lead stopped Xie Xun.
This man was dressed in a beggar's attire and carried seven pockets on his back. As he walked, he showed that he had martial arts skills.
He looked gloomy and asked, "Friend, what are you doing for me?"
Looking at his attire, Xie Xun thought to himself: "Could this really be a disciple of the Beggar Clan?"
Asked: "Are you the leader of this gang?"
The man said: "Exactly, what's the matter with you?"
The tone was a little impatient.
Xie Xun asked: "What are you doing here?"
The man said: "Begging, we are all beggars. These people are disabled and cannot work, so they can only beg. What is the matter with you? I am a disciple of the Beggar Clan."
Although he couldn't tell the depth of Xie Xun's martial arts, he also saw that Xie Xun was not simple, so he first reported his background. After all, although the Beggar Gang is not as good as before, it is still the largest gang. The residual power of the past is still there. If there is real trouble, it can make opponents worry.
Xie Xun asked: "How did they become disabled?"
This man was shocked and shouted angrily: "What's the matter with you? If you don't tell me, I won't be polite."
While they were talking, several other able-bodied people gathered around. They were all dressed as beggars and carried varying numbers of pockets on their bodies, some with six, some with five, and some with only two or three.
Xie Xun said: "I just want to know how these people became disabled. Did you do it?"
The man said: "They are all born. Who are you and what are you doing here? I am a disciple of the Seven Bags of the Beggar Clan..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xun had already taken action. He reached out and grabbed the man's throat. With a little force, the man was rendered speechless. He was so frightened that he was not good at martial arts, but he fell into the enemy's hands instantly and had no power to fight back. It was really shocking.
Just as the others were about to step forward, Lu Zhixi took action.
She heard from the side that Xie Xun meant that these disabled people were deliberately created. What kind of evil person must be able to come up with such an appalling method? It is simply inhumane. So when she saw others trying to come up, she took action without mercy.
Xie Xun ignored this. These people were still not enough in front of Lu Zhixi. Even though they had some dirty tricks, they were far different from Lu Zhixi's strength. Lu Zhixi had no experience in the world, so there would be no accidents.
Xie Xun said coldly: "I don't want to know who you are. I just want to ask you, did you cause their disability?"
Xie Xun loosened his hand a little, and the man was finally able to speak. He knew that his opponent was tough, so he did not dare to hesitate and said, "I didn't do it, they were born with it."
Xie Xun sneered: "How come you are so lucky to find so many people who are born with disabilities to beg for you."
The man said: "It's really not me, someone else did it."
Xie Xun asked: "Who is it?"
The man said: "I don't know, I just gathered them together and begged together."
Xie Xun said: "Others crippled them, but asked you to lead them to beg for profit. As a disciple of the Seven Bags of the Beggar Clan, you actually said you don't know who it is. Do you think I should believe you?"
While talking, Lu Zhixi had already knocked down all the other Beggar Clan disciples.
Xie Xun said: "I will convince you to die."
He said to Lu Zhixi: "Ask those disabled beggars who made them like this."
When Lu Zhixi entered the courtyard, the disabled beggars all stretched their heads and looked over with fear on their faces.
Lu Zhixi asked: "Don't be afraid, I ask you: Who hurt you?"
This group of people looked at the beggar in Xie Xun's hands, but did not dare to speak.
Xie Xun understood clearly and said, "You won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Suddenly he grabbed the beggar's hand and squeezed it hard.
The beggar screamed, and Xie Xun asked, "Who disabled them?"
The beggar just screamed and didn't answer. Xie Xun crushed his other hand.
The beggar fainted from the pain and was thrown to the ground by Xie Xun.
Lu Zhixi also didn't expect Xie Xun to use such cruel methods. This had never happened before.
Xie Xun turned to look at the disabled beggars and asked, "Who hurt you? Point it out and I will avenge you."
This group of disabled beggars saw the person they feared the most being beaten unconscious, and knew that this was the best opportunity for revenge. Finally, one person couldn't help but pointed his broken arm at the person at Xie Xun's feet and said, "That's him."
Tears streamed down his face as he spoke.
Xie Xun pointed to the group of people lying on the ground again and asked, "Do they have a share?"
The people on the ground looked frightened, and their eyes were full of pleading.
The disabled beggars nodded and said, "They are all in the same group."
