Martial arts long journey

Chapter 246 Sail Westward
Xing Qingge sat up straight slowly, looked up at Zhou Yan and the others, and said in a cold voice, "Since everyone is here, let's go now!"

When Zhou Yanfang had just entered the surveillance hall, Xing Qingge's attitude could be said to be extremely cold.

However, compared to the other four people in this hall, Xing Qingge has already taken a different look at Zhou Yan. After all, Zhou Yan is still the mainstay of her Department of Punishment.

To Xing Qingge, who was tyrannical and terrifying in martial arts, Zhou Yan and the five of them, although they were the best of the young generation of Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guards, were still nothing.

If it was placed in other places, Xing Qingge might not even look at Zhou Yan and the others who are warriors in the Zhoutian realm.

It was only because the four people in the palace were members of the Iron Blood Guard of Zhongzhou that Xing Qingge didn't ignore the four of them.

But even so, Xing Qingge didn't intend to chat with them too much.

At this moment, Xing Qingge's heart is full of thoughts of setting off as soon as possible and returning earlier.

If this Sword Raising Competition is the top event in the Jianghu martial arts world, and it is the first time for Zhongzhou Iron Blood Guards to participate in such a grand event, it needs martial arts experts to go to town, which makes Ling Chongxiao call Xing Qingge by name. Lead the team.

Otherwise, Xing Qingge probably wouldn't join in the fun at all.

Slowly standing up from his seat, Xing Qingge walked straight out of the Supervisory Mansion, and Zhou Yan and the other five quickly followed Xing Qingge's pace.

After walking outside the gate of the front hall, several Iron Blood Guards had already prepared six tall horses, and only Xing Qingge and Zhou Yan were waiting to ride them.

Lighten the lotus steps under his feet, even if Xing Qing Ge Dang floated on the horse's back.

Seeing such a situation, Zhou Yan and the five of them did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly followed to find a fine horse, turned over and rode on it.

"set off!"

With a flick of the reins in his hand, Xing Qingge commanded in a heroic manner.

Immediately afterwards, Xing Qingge rode his horse and galloped out of Tai'an city, and Zhou Yan and the other five hurriedly chased after him.

Although the Sword Raising Competition is a grand event held when the new and old owners of the Famous Sword Villa change, the important role in this grand event is not the Famous Sword Villa itself.

The Famous Sword Villa is just taking this opportunity to announce the birth of a new owner to the martial arts world, and to show that their level of refining famous swords has not declined.

In the end, the protagonists who actually go on stage to sing operas are the young talents of the martial arts world.

Therefore, apart from Zhou Yan and his five young men who represented Zhongzhou to participate in the sword-raising competition, Xing Qingge didn't bring any more people with him, which can be said to be extremely light and simple.

After leaving Tai'an City, Xing Qingge, Zhou Yan and others did not delay much, and walked directly towards the land of Xishu.

To the west of the land of Zhongzhou is the boundary of the Kingdom of Shu. The entire Kingdom of Shu advocates the practice of swordsmanship, and the wind of practicing swords can be said to be the strongest place in the martial arts world.

Almost [-]% of the sects of martial arts families who practice kendo in the world are within the boundaries of Western Shu.

Even the Famous Sword Villa, where the Sword Raising Competition was held, is located in Jiangyan County in Western Shu.

Compared with the flat Northern Qi, or the rich Eastern Jin, Western Shu is a little barren.

Looking at the entire territory of Xishu, most of them are rugged and dangerous peaks, with heavy rocks and obstacles.

A poet once traveled to the borders of the Shu Kingdom, and left a poem about the difficulty of the Shu Road and the difficulty of going to the blue sky, in order to lament the ruggedness and danger of the West Shu Road.

Although the land route in Xishu is not very easy, the waterway is very convenient.

In the land of Western Shu, there is a vast and broad river named Baling River, which was formed by melting snow from glaciers in the far west.

The Baling River traverses the entire area of ​​Western Shu from west to east, and finally flows into the Canglan River and flows into the East China Sea.

Almost all the prefectures in Western Shu have branches of the Baling River.

Even if they don't take the slightest land route, they only need to go through these intricate water systems to reach various counties in the Shu Kingdom.

With such a light and smooth waterway, Xing Qingge, Zhou Yan and the others naturally wouldn't waste time and effort on the rough and rough land road.

The most important thing is that the Baling County, which traverses the entire Western Shu territory, will eventually flow into the Canglan River outside Tai'an City.

As long as they set sail westward along the Canglan River, Xing Qingge and Zhou Yan could arrive at the Famous Sword Villa in the shortest possible time to participate in the Sword Raising Competition.

Therefore, after Xing Qingge and Zhou Yan left Tai'an City, they rode their horses and galloped towards the ferry on the Canglan River.

The land of Zhongzhou serves as a buffer zone for the four imperial courts, and there are naturally countless caravans traveling to and from the four imperial courts.

Without much effort at all, Xing Qingge, Zhou Yan and the others found a merchant ship from the Kingdom of Shu, and planned to use this merchant ship to rush to the territory of Western Shu.

This waterway is indeed infinitely smoother than the land road. In just half a month, the merchant ship that braved the wind and waves rushed westward from Tai'an City in the land of Zhongzhou to Jiangyan County in the Kingdom of Shu.

If you go by land, even if you travel day and night, it will take at least two months. This speed can be described as extremely fast.

Before the merchant ship docked at the ferry in Jiangyan County, the crowds of people in the ferry caught the eyes of Xing Qingge, Zhou Yan and the others.

The famous sword villa that held the sword test competition is just outside the city of Jiangyan County. The crowds in these ferry crossings are obviously composed of martial artists from the Jianghu martial arts.

Although these people may not be qualified to participate in the Sword Raising Competition, it is human nature to join in the fun. How could these people in the Jianghu miss such a grand event as the Sword Raising Competition?They naturally gathered in the city of Jiangyan County.

Looking at the extremely lively scene in front of him, Xing Qingge frowned involuntarily. She, who has always been indifferent, naturally felt very much in this environment.

But Xing Qingge didn't say much when he arrived, she couldn't clear all the people in the ferry, right?She's not the kind of bully.

"Give way, everyone make way to the side!"

When the merchant ship slowly docked beside the ferry, there was a sudden burst of noise on the shore.

Immediately afterwards, a group of warriors in black and red uniforms with a small sword embroidered on their chests separated a road more than three people wide among the crowded crowd, heading towards the merchant ship where Xing Qingge, Zhou Yan and others were located. come over.
