Martial arts long journey

Chapter 359
After a lapse of more than a month, now that he feels down-to-earth again, Zhou Yan's heart is suddenly filled with joy. After all, only on this land can Zhou Yan's martial arts cultivation be unrestricted. .

Although he had just returned to the boundary of the giant city of Tai'an, Zhou Yan encountered an increasingly violent misty rain, which was quite disappointing.

But compared to this feeling of peace of mind, this little rain is nothing, anyway, no matter how violent the rain is, it will not wet Zhou Yan at all.

Now that he has left the boat and arrived at the Linjiang Ferry, Zhou Yan doesn't intend to delay and hesitate any longer, it's best to rush back to the giant city of Tai'an as soon as possible.

But seeing Zhou Yan raised his eyes and looked around for a while, the steps under his feet suddenly moved, and he walked straight towards not far away.

It was a checkpoint, which was set up by the Acropolis Department of Tai'an City, and it was specially used to collect taxes.

This Linjiang Ferry is the largest ferry to Tai'an Giant City. On weekdays, an unknown number of merchant ships pass through this ferry to transport goods into Tai'an City.

Within the boundaries of the land of Zhongzhou, the Jagged Guards are equivalent to the imperial courts in other regions, so these merchants need to pay due taxes to the Jagged Guards.

And the Acropolis Secretary in the giant cities of the Iron and Blood Guards is responsible for collecting taxes.

The reason why Zhou Yan went to that checkpoint was to get some help from the sergeant of the Weicheng Division who was stationed at this Linjiang Ferry in Tai'an City and was responsible for collecting taxes.

Although this Linjiang Ferry is located within the boundary of Tai'an City, it is still some distance away from Tai'an City. Zhou Yan can't just run back to Tai'an City on two legs.

You must know that Zhou Yan, who is in the realm of martial arts, is not only the mainstay of the blood guards of the Zhongzhou Metro, but also a powerful giant in the entire Jianghu martial arts world.

If he really ran back to Tai'an City, his face would definitely be swept away if this kind of thing got out, and he would be reduced to a joke in the end.

Zhou Yan didn't have many requests, he just planned to borrow a horse from the guards' sergeant for transportation.

At this moment, in front of this checkpoint, apart from Zhou Yan and the sergeants of Tai'an City Guards Department, there are also many merchants who are queuing up here with their work, waiting to pay the taxes that should be paid.

Seeing Zhou Yan approaching the tax checkpoint, the merchants began to whisper among themselves: "Who is this young gentleman?! How dare you trespass on this tax checkpoint?!"

"Don't talk too much, do you see that there is no trace of water on the young man's body, and even the rain did not fall on his body? This must be a strong man with profound martial arts."

"Never mind what purpose that young master has, anyway, let's not cause trouble for ourselves!"

…………

At the same time, the guards stationed near the checkpoint also saw Zhou Yan's approaching figure.

Immediately afterwards, when two Sergeants of the Guard City Division with spears came out, they raised their hands and crossed each other, blocking Zhou Yan's figure.

"Stop those who come, the Acropolis is a place where checkpoints are important, and no one else is allowed to approach!"

Only one of the sergeants with a solemn face said in a cold voice without fluctuation.

Although when the sergeant saw that Zhou Yan was not even a little bit wet by the rain, his eyes were full of fear, after all, he was only in the realm of martial arts with ordinary true energy.

However, the iron-blooded military discipline of the Guard City Division and the extremely tyrannical power of the Iron Blood Guard made this sergeant still stand up without fear.

Although Zhou Yan's Punishment Department and Ancestral City Department belonged to different systems of Iron and Blood Guard, no matter how you say it, the Punishment Department and Ancestral City Department are still a family.

Seeing that the backup of his own forces has such a character, Zhou Yan couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart.

Immediately, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth gradually curled up, and he said with a light smile, "This is my envoy, Zhou Yan, this envoy's token!"

While speaking, Zhou Yan untied a jade tablet from his waist and slowly handed it forward.

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, the eyes of the two sergeants of the Weicheng Division immediately flashed a look of horror, and the sergeant who spoke just now stepped forward quickly, and took the jade card handed out by Zhou Yan , Probing carefully.

He is also a member of the iron and blood guards of Tai'an City, even though the Department of Defense and the Department of Punishment have no direct command relationship, how could this sergeant fail to recognize the badge of the Department of Punishment?
What's more, this waist card is not just a token of the ordinary Punishment Department's person, but a special jade token of the Punishment Department's purple-robed criminal officer.

Immediately afterwards, the sergeant slammed the spear in his hand, bowed to Zhou Yan and said, "I have seen Mr. Criminal Officer!"

Seeing that his colleague had confirmed Zhou Yan's identity, the other sergeant quickly followed suit and saluted.

"This subordinate doesn't know the identity of the criminal officer, so I ask you to come down!"

Immediately afterwards, the two sergeants recalled their actions just now, and hurriedly apologized again and saluted.

"It's okay, those who don't know are innocent!"

Hearing the voices of these two sergeants, Zhou Yan couldn't help but chuckle slightly, and he waved his hands and said aloud.

At the same time, Zhou Yan even waved a wisp of gentle martial arts zhenqi, helping the two sergeants up.

"Thank you, Lord Criminal Officer, for your forgiveness!"

After the two sergeants stood up, the sergeant who had just received Zhou Yan's jade token quickly presented the jade token to Zhou Yan respectfully: "My lord, this is your token. I don't know why your lord came here?!"

"It's not a big deal!"

After taking back the jade badge and tied it around his waist again, Zhou Yan said with a light smile, "I have just returned to Linjiangdu after going out on business, but now I am preparing to return to Tai'an City. I wonder if it is convenient for me to borrow it at the checkpoint. A horse to travel?"

How could this sergeant refuse when a strong man whose status was equivalent to the captain of the Weicheng Division asked for a loan?What's more, this is not a big deal at all.

Therefore, the sergeant immediately nodded and agreed: "Please ask the criminal officer to wait a moment, and this subordinate will go and lead a horse for the lord!"

Then, he turned around and quickly ran into the checkpoint.
