Chapter 212 Shenxiu's Ten Master Swords (for Subscription)
Chu Xisheng flew for dozens of miles, and when he returned to Chu's house in Xishan Town, he saw Wu Meiniang standing at the door of his house.
Holding a bong, she leaned against the stone lion at the gate, her willow eyebrows were frowned, and she was out of her mind.
Chu Xisheng walked over with a pale face, and looked at her coldly: "What's the matter with Qingyun? Something happened to him this time, why didn't you give me a message?"
"Hall Master Chu is asking my Xingshi for a crime?"
After Wu Meiniang came to her senses, she shook her head slightly: "It's Qingyun who didn't let me tell, he didn't want to involve you. I also think that it's best for you to sit and watch this matter. It's not something you can interfere with."
She flicked the ashes in her bong, and her voice was low and hoarse: "But since you asked, I will explain the situation to you. These are Zuo Tianlu's enemies, and they will be put to death."
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows: "The enemy? What enemy, I don't even have the qualifications to ask you a question?"
"It's the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"
Wu Meiniang exhaled a puff of white smoke: "In the past, when Zuo Tianlu was the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was impeached until he lost his official position and was demoted to southern Xinjiang as an official. As a result, seven members of his family died of the plague. Five. Now that this official has returned to his original post, he will naturally do everything possible to get revenge. Zuo Tianlu originally had a solid foundation in the court and had many colleagues to help him, but he was stupid enough to impeach the "top ten money" and gave it to others. Take the opportunity."
Wu Meiniang looked at Chu Xisheng: "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was originally 'Ting Weizheng'. He was Ting Wei's deputy. He was in charge of criminal prisons. He was responsible for hearing and investigating all serious criminal and prison cases in the world. He had a high position. This person should be on the left. It is easy to kill a family. If he wants to crush you to death, it is as easy as crushing an ant.
Don't look at you are now a well-known figure in Xiushui County.But in the eyes of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you are nothing.He can easily make you a key criminal wanted by the imperial court. The Wuxiang Shenzong will not accept criminals who have criminal records from the imperial court to enter the Shenzong.So for your future, for the sake of your sister, you should try to avoid it as much as possible. "
Chu Xisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face darkened: "There is no way to think about it?"
"This case was decided by the emperor, and the Zuo family can't turn it over. The current policy can only be settled with money as much as possible, and the punishment should be reduced as much as possible."
Wu Meiniang laughed: "Qingyun has already entrusted me with his family wealth, and asked me to clear it up for him. You don't need to worry about this matter."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards a carriage not far away.
Chu Xisheng looked at her back.
Just when Wu Meiniang was about to board the car, Chu Xisheng suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple might not plan to let the Zuo family have a chance to go to Beijing for trial? They will be dealt with on the way to Beijing?"
Wu Meiniang was startled when she heard the words, she turned her head to look at Chu Xisheng, "What do you mean by that?"
"Those Tianya Jinyiwei have a big problem, I don't know if you have checked it?"
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back, and his voice was cold: "They made the Zuo family live in the worst cell, gave them bad food, and even tortured the Zuo family members in some invisible way. Qingyun also hinted to me in words that it was useless for him to give money.
The strange thing is that when I went to the county just now, I only spent 1000 taels of magic silver, and they allowed me to meet Qingyun, and they were very kind to me. Do you think this is strange?What is the situation? "
Wu Meiniang didn't understand what it meant at first, but then her complexion gradually changed: "Are you trying to say that they might have a guilty conscience?"
Since those Jinyiwei were full of malice towards the Zuo family, they could completely refuse Chu Xisheng to meet with Zuo Qingyun.
But they agreed.
——Unless these people didn't want to anger Chu Xisheng, attracting Chu Xisheng's further actions, which led to extra complications for what they wanted to do.
Wu Meiniang thought back to the situation when she entered the prison yesterday and met Zuo Qingyun, her face darkened slightly.
There are many details that she can actually notice.
"Let's look it up and see the background of those Jinyiwei. All the family members in the yamen are under their control. He has a lot of worries and dare not say anything to us."
Chu Xisheng's eyes darkened again, and he gave Wu Meiniang a warning look: "If you have any news, please let me know."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight into the gate of the Chu family.
Wu Meiniang stood there blankly, frowning unmoved.
She thought Chu Xisheng's guess was very reasonable.
The situation of the Zuo family is ten times worse than she thought before!
That young minister of Dali Temple was even more ruthless than she imagined.
Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment, and then boarded the car without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go back to the county!"
She had to check the background of these Tianya Jinyiwei to find out who they were and how they were related to the young minister of Dali Temple.
※※※※
When Chu Xisheng stepped into the gate of his house, he saw many people kneeling on the school field in the outer hall.Most of them are dressed in sackcloth and short clothes with leather jackets on the outside.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw this.
Looking at the clothes of these people, they seem to be hunters in the Western Mountains.
Chu Xisheng was suspicious, not sure.
He thought it couldn't be so fast, could it?
This blockade is less than ten days.
According to Chu Xisheng's estimate, the Orion in Xishan would have to hold out for two or three months before bowing to him.
He beckoned and called Xiang Kui who was in charge of patrolling the entrance of the hall today.
"What's the matter with these hunters? What happened in Xishan?"
"My lord!"
Xiang Kui glanced at those people after saluting, and there was a bit of sneer on the corner of his lips: "The bandits in Xishan are looting and looting in the mountains, especially for food such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. These Orion Villages can't hold on anymore. What Zoujia Village? , Qijia Village, Jijia Village, Yuanjia Village, a total of 27 villages, those who should have come, and those who should not have come.
Those who were robbed hated the Xishan bandits deeply, and those who were not robbed were also worried that their family’s money and food would not be safe, so they came together and asked to take shelter under my Xishan hall.The altar master of our family is annoyed that they don't know what is good or bad, they are arrogant and respectful, and they are leaving them alone with the excuse that you are not at home. "
Chu Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Those Xishan bandits, are they short of food? Can't bear it so soon?"
"This subordinate is not clear about this matter."
Xiang Kui also felt strange: "However, these thieves and bandits are raised by the Shen family and the Xishan County Army, and their lives are very easy. They don't have the habit of storing food, so it's not a surprise."
Chu Xisheng thought that this made sense.
However, this was just their guess, and Lu Pingyuan had to find out the specific situation.
At this time, those hunters who were kneeling on the ground also found Chu Xisheng's figure, they all turned around and ran over, surrounded Chu Xisheng, begging sincerely.
"Master Chu, we finally have you back."
"Master Chu, we are willing to pay the safety money, please Xishan hall to help us to protect our safety."
"Before, we were ignorant and were deceived by the Shen family. Please let Hall Master Chu forget the previous suspicions and save us Xishan hunters from the flames."
"Those Xishan thieves are too rampant! If this continues, none of us in Xishan will survive."
"We have no other options. I heard that Master Chu is a man of chivalry and benevolence, so he begged to come over cheekily. Speaking of which, there are also children in our village who serve under your command. Please look at them and give me a hand." Our chance to repent."
Chu Xi wondered how could such a good thing happen?
The matter of safe money must not be let go so easily.
He had a smile on his face, and his demeanor was extremely kind.
"Good talk good talk!"
"Please remember, Chu is young and cannot bear such a big gift."
"The matter of safety money can be discussed again. Allow me to think about it carefully."
"Everyone, this is embarrassing me. I have actually considered abolishing the money to exploit the people. As for the thieves and bandits inside Xishan, I have more than enough heart but not enough power. You know, our Iron Banner Gang is fighting with the aristocratic families in the city. The battle is fierce, there is no time to be distracted."
Chu Xisheng's voice was very sincere, and he went to help the old people kneeling on the ground one by one, but he refused to tell the truth.
These village chiefs and patriarchs are also fine people, and they knew that the situation was not good as soon as they heard it, so they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Master Chu, please help us, our 27 villages and thousands of hunters are counting on your help!"
"We are willing to pay more, even if we follow Liu Dingtang's rules, as long as our village is safe and sound!"
"The master of the hall is majestic, and his record is impressive! Even the Shen family and the Xishan County Army are not your opponents. As long as you are willing to make a move, the nine knives of the Nine Knife Village and the thirteen masters of the Baiyun Village are in front of you!" No fart."
Chu Xisheng still frowned slightly, looking embarrassed and helpless.
Until one of the old people suddenly gritted his teeth: "As long as Xishantang is willing to protect us, we will take Xishantang as our leader and follow the orders of Chutang Master!"
Chu Xisheng's eyes flickered, and he thought that there was finally a wise man.
The many hunters who were kneeling on the ground were silent at first, and then rushed to be the first.
"Master, my Qi Family Village is also the same, I wish to follow the lead of Xishan Hall!"
"Our Heng family has 320 bows and knives, and we are willing to listen to the master's dispatch!"
Chu Xisheng's face finally showed a little more sincerity.
After hesitating for a moment, he said with a helpless expression: "Everyone, get up first! Please serve tea in the lobby. I want to have a detailed talk with you."
There was a smile on the corner of his lips.
From then on.It is justifiable for Xishantang to drive these hunters.
This is what Xishan Orion asked for himself——
※※※※
In fact, Chu Xisheng intended to endure these Orion leaders again.
However, he was worried about Zuo Qingyun's affairs, so he didn't have much time to devote himself to these people.
It just so happened that these Orion leaders were also very impatient. They were worried that Baiyunzhai and Jiudaowu would make further moves, and they could not wait to ask Xishantang for help immediately.
Therefore, the two parties negotiated the terms in less than an hour.
The 'safety money' has to continue to be collected, but the 4000 taels of magic silver paid by the hunters every month will be spent on themselves.
Xishan Hall will recruit another 27 gang members among the Xishan hunters to form four sub-altars to protect the [-] hunting villages inside Xishan.
The 4000 taels of magic silver is definitely not enough, and Xishantang has to use the public account to subsidize the [-] taels of magic silver.
Each village also promised to improve the village walls and gates, set up mountain patrol teams, and build beacon towers.
Make sure that you can deliver the warning message at the first time, and have a certain amount of self-defense power, at least temporarily resist bandits and monsters in the mountains, and support until the reinforcements from Xishan Hall arrive.
Xishantang can also underwrite all Orion's mountain products, medicinal materials, furs, animal bones, etc., ensuring fair prices.
However, if there is any emergency in the future, all 27 village hunters in Xishan must obey Xishantang's order to fight, and must not refuse or disobey.
Of course, Xishantang will also give certain commissions and rewards to Orion according to the situation, and the rest of the money for burning and burying and pensions are the same as those of the Xishan Gang.
Li Shenshan, Lu Luanli and the others who rushed over to listen felt that the conditions were too loose and made it easier for the hunters.
Chu Xisheng was very satisfied.
If you spend more time grinding, you can indeed force these Orion leaders to impose more stringent terms.
But most of these Xishan hunters are poor men, how much money can they get from them?
What Chu Xisheng really liked was the strength of these hunters.
The actual population of these 27 villages is larger than what the outside world thinks. There are [-] hunters and [-] ten-stone bows.
Each of them can shoot and kill all the members of the Xishan Army in the mountain road with one arrow.
Moreover, their personal fighting ability is also very good, close to the level of the frontier army, and their overall combat strength is much stronger than that of the coolie boatmen on the river.
Chu Xisheng thought to himself that if he grasped this power, the government would be afraid of him in the future.
Just like the county government has always been wary of the Iron Banner Gang.
If Chu Xisheng wanted these hunters to be willing to work for him, he couldn't be too stingy.
While offering kindness and righteousness, he also had to give up money.
Chu Xisheng didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Liu Dingtang.
When they besieged and killed Liu Dingtang before, the bows and arrows of those Xishan hunters were not only limp and powerless, but also lacked any accuracy at all, which greatly fell short of the standard.
These hunters knew it clearly in their hearts, they couldn't resist Xishantang's order, but they could paddle secretly, using only [-]% of their strength.
There is also Xishan, if the Xishan is not stable, the wood, mountain goods and medicinal materials inside will not be transported out, and the advantages of the canal will not be able to be used, so he must put down those bandits.
And once Xishan is leveled, the number of hunters and herb pickers in the mountain will increase significantly, further strengthening the power of Xishan Hall.
This is actually a feat.
It's a pity that the hall, including Lu Luanli, is full of swords and muscles, and they don't understand his thoughts.
Those Orion leaders also couldn't understand the great talent and strategy of Hall Master Chu.
However, they are very satisfied, the conditions that Xishan Hall offers to the hunters are much more generous than they imagined.
Rumor has it that this Xishan hall master is benevolent and kind, open and bright, and he is not adulterated at all.
Some of them were even more regretful, beating their chests and feet after going out, lamenting endlessly.
If they had known that Hall Master Chu was so righteous, they would have followed, so why were they robbed by those bandits?
That Shen family is really harmful!Not only have they been oppressed and exploited all these years, but this time they have lied and deceived them, causing them to misunderstand good people.
Chu Xisheng originally wanted to set up a banquet and invite these Orion leaders to have a meal.
However, these people were eager to return home, wishing to fly back to the villa and tell the good news to the villagers.
Chu Xisheng himself was very anxious about Zuo Qingyun's matter, so he didn't force him to stay.
But when he personally sent these leaders out, he saw a white-haired old man with a strong body about fifty years old, standing at the gate and lingering.
There are two people behind this person, one is a young man around 17 years old, and the other is a beautiful woman in her twenties.
The woman was tall and slender, her complexion was slightly dark due to the sun all year round, but it was very smooth, as smooth as jade.
Her facial features are clear and beautiful, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, exuding a sharp taste.On the neck is a battle pattern in the shape of the Great Sun Golden Crow, extending from the collarbone to the lower jaw.
Chu Xisheng glanced at the three of them and recognized the old man, who seemed to be called Ji Shan?He is the head of Jijia Village.
Just now this person was the first one to shout out 'Take Xishan Hall as the leader of the horse'.
A smile immediately appeared on Chu Xisheng's face, and he clasped his fists in confusion and asked, "Mr. Ji, do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?"
He didn't have any embarrassment when he saw the other party's face, it could be seen that the purpose of this person staying alone was not to ask him for help.
"There is indeed one thing that I want to ask the hall master for permission."
He turned around and introduced the two people behind him for Chu Xisheng: "This pair of siblings are the children of a distant cousin of mine. One is called Ji Qianqian, and his cultivation is at the seventh rank, with both knives and bows; the other is called Ji Yuan, under the eighth rank of cultivation. The two of them asked me to introduce them, and they wanted to join Xishan Hall and serve the hall master.
They are all the most talented hunters in my Jijia Village. They have good cultivation at a young age. If they continue to stay in the mountains, they will only miss their future.It's a pity that their siblings are arrogant and look down on the many tyrants in Xiushui County. They said they wanted to find a wise master, so they delayed their future. Only Master Chu's benevolence and righteousness made them admire and raise their eyebrows. "
"Oh?"
Chu Xisheng's gaze narrowed slightly, looking at the two,
This man named Ji Yuan is indeed talented, and he is almost at the threshold of promotion.
There is a set of "Cloud Sea Divine Bow Jue" among the hunters in Xishan, which is said to be a skill handed down by the "God of Bow" Tianyi.
However, their inheritance is incomplete, and they can only cultivate to the fifth rank at most.
His bloodline talent seems to be very good. I don't know if this person has been in contact with the blood source map pillar?
Based on the conditions of the Xishan Orion, there should be no possibility of touching the blood source column.
However, this person has a sister who is cultivated at the seventh rank, which is not necessarily the case.
Chu Xisheng looked at the woman named Ji Qianqian again.
At the age of 23 and four years old, this girl actually has a cultivation level of seventh rank, which is not easy considering her family background.
Chu Xisheng couldn't see clearly, and felt that the other party was unpredictable.
However, his current cultivation base is low, and any master of the sixth or seventh rank can give him a sense of inscrutability.
He asked curiously: "Miss Qian Qian, may I show Chu your archery and saber skills?"
He had to see the quality of the other party first before arranging her duties in the gang.
Moreover, not everyone can afford the four characters of 'swords and bows'.
Ji Qianqian clasped his fists and smiled, and said in a crisp voice: "It's a matter of course! But ordinary target shooting is boring. It just so happens that there are a group of silver-winged swallows in the sky, hall master, please take a look."
She untied a long hunting bow directly from behind, and then shot five arrows into the sky with a snap of her fingers.
Chu Xisheng looked up, then felt a little startled.
Just above the two thousand zhang cloud sky, there is indeed a small flock of silver-winged swallows.
Silver-winged Swallows are monster birds with eighth-rank strength. They not only fly extremely fast, but also have strong reflexes and are very sensitive.
The one in the lead had two wings mixed with pale gold, and its cultivation was close to rank seven.
With Chu Xisheng's current eyesight, he could barely catch the flight trajectory of this group of monster birds.
The arrow, which counts money, arrived in an instant. The speed of the arrow far exceeds that of modern bullets, and when it shoots [-] feet, it breeds changes, like modern missiles. There was no way to escape, and she shot down six of them with five arrows.
Two of them kill two birds with one stone!
After counting the money and stopping the bow, he looked proud and said: "This hunting bow under the seventh rank is a relic left by my father. It is not easy to handle. If the hall master is willing to give me a good bow and three battle pictures, I will His shooting skills can be much stronger.
As long as I don't enter the seventh rank of the Qingyun ranking, I can shoot and kill with one arrow within three hundred feet.I can also use archery to restrain the sixth-rank players below [-] on the Famous Heroes List, so that they cannot move.As for sword skills, please choose an opponent. "
Chu Xisheng was eye-opening, thinking that he really found a treasure today.
This little Xishan actually has such a sharp shot?
"I don't need it anymore, just relying on Miss Ji's archery skills, she can be ranked among the top three in Xishan Hall."
Chu Xisheng shook his head with a smile on his face: "Chu is willing to recruit a girl into the church with a monthly salary of one thousand taels. Then the public account in the hall will borrow 5000 taels with [-]% interest, and buy you a sixth-grade war bow." With two battle maps.
Considering that you haven't achieved an inch of merit, it's not easy to be directly promoted to the altar master. I want to wrong Miss Ji first and become my bodyguard.And this little brother, let's start with the incense master who governs ten people, what do you two think? "
Ji Qianqian raised his eyebrows, with joy in his eyes: "We brothers and sisters understand the rules, this is exactly what I want!"
※※※※
Chu Xisheng was very enthusiastic and caring towards the Ji family brothers and sisters, and even specially asked Lu Pingyuan to arrange accommodation for them and introduce Tangkou.
But when he walked into the back hall, his complexion sank slightly, and he looked outside the door thoughtfully.
This pair of Ji family brothers and sisters is a bit weird, why have such outstanding figures like them not been well-known?
The identities of the two seem to be no problem, the brothers and sisters of the Ji family have always grown up in the Ji family village, if they are the second or fifth children arranged by others, it will be difficult to hide them from the eyes and ears of Xishan Hall.
He also hinted at Lu Pingyuan just now, trying to find out the root of the siblings.
Chu Xisheng then shook his head, walked into his room, and took out all the 5000 taels of silver bills he had hidden in the secret compartment under the bed.
Chu Yunyun watched quietly from behind, she folded her arms on her chest: "It seems that Zuo Qingyun's situation is not good?"
"I have to go far!" Chu Xi sighed, and at the same time raised the bank notes in her hand: "I can't keep the money."
This was originally the capital he prepared for himself and Chu Yunyun to practice.
Chu Yunyun didn't care.
The two of them can now withdraw 2000 taels from the public account of Xishan Hall every month.After the opening of the canal, the income will be even more.
She nodded slightly: "This is the meaning of a friend, it should be! But what are you going to do about the affairs in the hall?"
"give it to you!"
Chu Xisheng touched the bridge of his nose, looking helpless: "Shangguan Shenhao and the Shen family are always planning to fight back. Without you, I can't rest assured about this foundation. And those bandits in Xishan, when they are forced out of the mountain, they are When the Shen family tried to fight back.
But these are easy to deal with, the key is that there are so many young people in the hall, if we are not careful, we will be overthrown.Just now the Sword Inspector told me that there are at least nineteen internal ghosts in our hall, it's a hell of a ghost. "
"so much?"
Chu Yunyun was also taken aback, and then also had a headache.
Indeed, at this time there is no powerful person in the hall who can't restrain these demons and ghosts.
"Then you take Luanli over there."
Without Lu Luanli accompanying her, she was worried about Chu Xisheng's safety.
"No, she's staring at the Nishen Banner. She might agree, but she'll definitely be reluctant. What's more, if I want to protect the hunters in Xishan, I have to rely on her strength."
Chu Xi burst out laughing: "I'll just take the meter money, and the money in my hand can also buy my safety."
"Counting money?"
Chu Yunyun also looked out the window.
She also saw the arrow that counted money just now.
She pondered and said: "This woman's strength is not bad, 5000 taels can exchange her for a good bow, two powerful battle plans, but is this woman reliable?"
Chu Xi laughed and said: "Whether she is reliable or not, she can definitely be used by me. If there is no problem with this girl, then of course there is no need to worry. But if she is also here for the flagpole of Nishen, she will not sit and watch me die by others hands."
Chu Yunyun raised her eyebrows with a clear expression.
If Chu Xisheng is dead, where will these two or five boys look for clues to Nishen's flagpole?
※※※※
At the same time, on the north side of the capital of Daning, there is a group of caves dug underground in the capital.
Two brothers, Hu Kan and Hu Lai, sat face to face in a small cave room, looking at a letter in front of them solemnly.
The letter was forwarded by Chu Xisheng through Wu Meiniang's channel, the content was to greet them, and then "by the way" asked the two of them for help to help him become famous.
Enclosed with the letter is a total of one hundred unregistered bank notes with a denomination of one hundred taels, which can be directly withdrawn from the 'Tianxia Bank' in the city.
"Money touches people's hearts! I didn't feel it before, but now I have a deep understanding."
Hu Lai let out a foul breath.
Living in the capital is not easy, the two of them stayed here for half a year, and the money in their hands was already very difficult.
Chu Xisheng's sum of money was like a timely gift!
Hu looked at the opposite side: "Brother, take other people's money and do things for others. I think Brother Chu's sword skills and talent can be selected for this year's 'Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swords'."
This is a gimmick made by the Tianji Museum. Every three years, less than ten young swordsmen with outstanding talents will be selected, known as the "Ten Outstanding Swordsmen of Shenxiu".
The selected young swordsmen are all from Shenzhou. They are both smart and beautiful, so they are called Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsmen, and they are the seeds of the future swordsmanship.
There are also Shenxiu's ten outstanding swords, Shenxiu's ten outstanding fists, etc., all kinds of things.
And because most of the "Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Knives" selected by Tianji Pavilion over the years have entered the local list, they are extremely credible.
Every time the Tianji Pavilion starts to select, it will attract the attention of countless martial artists in the world.
"The problem is that the minimum standard for Shenxiu Top Ten is the top ten in each state."
Hu Kan closed his eyes half-closed and fell into deep thought: "Junior brother Chu defeated Si Huangquan a few months ago, and now Si Huangquan is No. 90 in the Qingyun ranking. After a few months, junior brother Chu's strength should have improved. Many, especially he has also experienced the first "Burning Blood Festival". The ranking given to him by Dongzhou Qingyun Ranking should be underestimated. But even so, it is still too reluctant for him to enter the Shenxiu Top Ten, but—— "
Hu Kan's eyes flickered slightly: "Let's go, let's talk to the owner of the workshop."
He walked forward and walked into a deep cave.
Although the name of Tianji Pavilion has the word "Ge" in it, but because of the imperial court's attack, it has to hide in a group of caves underground in the capital.
The Tianji Pavilion has a total of five workshops in the southeast, northwest and middle, which are in charge of the affairs of 36 states.
Hu Kan and Hu Kan both worked in Dongfang.
Their owner is in his thirties, with a clear face and elegant temperament.
After hearing about the intention of the two brothers' visit, this person went to the nearby bookshelf and began to search for all the information about Chu Xisheng.
"Include Chu Xisheng in Shenxiu's top ten knives? What do you guys think? This kid is No. 20 and ninth in Dongzhou Qingyun list. He is almost 16 years old and his cultivation is only on the eighth rank. Uh~ he really defeated I lost Si Huangquan, but it was Si Huangquan before I found my lungs. The current 'Iron Shura' has far more combat power than a few months ago."
"My lord, Si Huangquan has recovered his lungs, but Chu Xisheng has also experienced the 'Blood Burning Sacrifice'. According to our information, this person's various blood talents seem to have been strengthened. And Judging from the battles that Chu Xisheng has experienced after the Burning Blood Festival, no one has been able to force out his true strength! No one has mastered the limit of his knife speed!"
After Hu Kan finished speaking, he clasped his fists together, and his eyes flashed with strangeness: "There are more! The eight people who have been confirmed for this issue of Shenxiu's Ten Outstanding Swordsmen are all from the Northland and Heluo Prefectures, and the fifteen Southern Prefectures so far. None of them were selected. Bozhu, don’t you think this is inappropriate?”
The owner of Dongfang Fang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
"Tianji Wupu" is naturally based on credibility.
But in addition to this, they also have to consider the sales of each issue.
If there is not even a single southerner among Shenxiu's ten outstanding knives, then the southern martial arts society will be less and less interested in this selection.
He couldn't help but concentrate again, looking at the information about Chu Xisheng in his hand.
Seems to work?
This kid's strength and cultivation base are a little bit low, but Chu Xisheng is in Dongzhou, and it is unlikely that he will encounter the rest of Shenxiu's ten outstanding swordsmen, so he is not afraid of revealing his secrets.
(End of this chapter)
Chu Xisheng flew for dozens of miles, and when he returned to Chu's house in Xishan Town, he saw Wu Meiniang standing at the door of his house.
Holding a bong, she leaned against the stone lion at the gate, her willow eyebrows were frowned, and she was out of her mind.
Chu Xisheng walked over with a pale face, and looked at her coldly: "What's the matter with Qingyun? Something happened to him this time, why didn't you give me a message?"
"Hall Master Chu is asking my Xingshi for a crime?"
After Wu Meiniang came to her senses, she shook her head slightly: "It's Qingyun who didn't let me tell, he didn't want to involve you. I also think that it's best for you to sit and watch this matter. It's not something you can interfere with."
She flicked the ashes in her bong, and her voice was low and hoarse: "But since you asked, I will explain the situation to you. These are Zuo Tianlu's enemies, and they will be put to death."
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows: "The enemy? What enemy, I don't even have the qualifications to ask you a question?"
"It's the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"
Wu Meiniang exhaled a puff of white smoke: "In the past, when Zuo Tianlu was the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was impeached until he lost his official position and was demoted to southern Xinjiang as an official. As a result, seven members of his family died of the plague. Five. Now that this official has returned to his original post, he will naturally do everything possible to get revenge. Zuo Tianlu originally had a solid foundation in the court and had many colleagues to help him, but he was stupid enough to impeach the "top ten money" and gave it to others. Take the opportunity."
Wu Meiniang looked at Chu Xisheng: "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was originally 'Ting Weizheng'. He was Ting Wei's deputy. He was in charge of criminal prisons. He was responsible for hearing and investigating all serious criminal and prison cases in the world. He had a high position. This person should be on the left. It is easy to kill a family. If he wants to crush you to death, it is as easy as crushing an ant.
Don't look at you are now a well-known figure in Xiushui County.But in the eyes of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you are nothing.He can easily make you a key criminal wanted by the imperial court. The Wuxiang Shenzong will not accept criminals who have criminal records from the imperial court to enter the Shenzong.So for your future, for the sake of your sister, you should try to avoid it as much as possible. "
Chu Xisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face darkened: "There is no way to think about it?"
"This case was decided by the emperor, and the Zuo family can't turn it over. The current policy can only be settled with money as much as possible, and the punishment should be reduced as much as possible."
Wu Meiniang laughed: "Qingyun has already entrusted me with his family wealth, and asked me to clear it up for him. You don't need to worry about this matter."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards a carriage not far away.
Chu Xisheng looked at her back.
Just when Wu Meiniang was about to board the car, Chu Xisheng suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple might not plan to let the Zuo family have a chance to go to Beijing for trial? They will be dealt with on the way to Beijing?"
Wu Meiniang was startled when she heard the words, she turned her head to look at Chu Xisheng, "What do you mean by that?"
"Those Tianya Jinyiwei have a big problem, I don't know if you have checked it?"
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back, and his voice was cold: "They made the Zuo family live in the worst cell, gave them bad food, and even tortured the Zuo family members in some invisible way. Qingyun also hinted to me in words that it was useless for him to give money.
The strange thing is that when I went to the county just now, I only spent 1000 taels of magic silver, and they allowed me to meet Qingyun, and they were very kind to me. Do you think this is strange?What is the situation? "
Wu Meiniang didn't understand what it meant at first, but then her complexion gradually changed: "Are you trying to say that they might have a guilty conscience?"
Since those Jinyiwei were full of malice towards the Zuo family, they could completely refuse Chu Xisheng to meet with Zuo Qingyun.
But they agreed.
——Unless these people didn't want to anger Chu Xisheng, attracting Chu Xisheng's further actions, which led to extra complications for what they wanted to do.
Wu Meiniang thought back to the situation when she entered the prison yesterday and met Zuo Qingyun, her face darkened slightly.
There are many details that she can actually notice.
"Let's look it up and see the background of those Jinyiwei. All the family members in the yamen are under their control. He has a lot of worries and dare not say anything to us."
Chu Xisheng's eyes darkened again, and he gave Wu Meiniang a warning look: "If you have any news, please let me know."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight into the gate of the Chu family.
Wu Meiniang stood there blankly, frowning unmoved.
She thought Chu Xisheng's guess was very reasonable.
The situation of the Zuo family is ten times worse than she thought before!
That young minister of Dali Temple was even more ruthless than she imagined.
Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment, and then boarded the car without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go back to the county!"
She had to check the background of these Tianya Jinyiwei to find out who they were and how they were related to the young minister of Dali Temple.
※※※※
When Chu Xisheng stepped into the gate of his house, he saw many people kneeling on the school field in the outer hall.Most of them are dressed in sackcloth and short clothes with leather jackets on the outside.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw this.
Looking at the clothes of these people, they seem to be hunters in the Western Mountains.
Chu Xisheng was suspicious, not sure.
He thought it couldn't be so fast, could it?
This blockade is less than ten days.
According to Chu Xisheng's estimate, the Orion in Xishan would have to hold out for two or three months before bowing to him.
He beckoned and called Xiang Kui who was in charge of patrolling the entrance of the hall today.
"What's the matter with these hunters? What happened in Xishan?"
"My lord!"
Xiang Kui glanced at those people after saluting, and there was a bit of sneer on the corner of his lips: "The bandits in Xishan are looting and looting in the mountains, especially for food such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. These Orion Villages can't hold on anymore. What Zoujia Village? , Qijia Village, Jijia Village, Yuanjia Village, a total of 27 villages, those who should have come, and those who should not have come.
Those who were robbed hated the Xishan bandits deeply, and those who were not robbed were also worried that their family’s money and food would not be safe, so they came together and asked to take shelter under my Xishan hall.The altar master of our family is annoyed that they don't know what is good or bad, they are arrogant and respectful, and they are leaving them alone with the excuse that you are not at home. "
Chu Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Those Xishan bandits, are they short of food? Can't bear it so soon?"
"This subordinate is not clear about this matter."
Xiang Kui also felt strange: "However, these thieves and bandits are raised by the Shen family and the Xishan County Army, and their lives are very easy. They don't have the habit of storing food, so it's not a surprise."
Chu Xisheng thought that this made sense.
However, this was just their guess, and Lu Pingyuan had to find out the specific situation.
At this time, those hunters who were kneeling on the ground also found Chu Xisheng's figure, they all turned around and ran over, surrounded Chu Xisheng, begging sincerely.
"Master Chu, we finally have you back."
"Master Chu, we are willing to pay the safety money, please Xishan hall to help us to protect our safety."
"Before, we were ignorant and were deceived by the Shen family. Please let Hall Master Chu forget the previous suspicions and save us Xishan hunters from the flames."
"Those Xishan thieves are too rampant! If this continues, none of us in Xishan will survive."
"We have no other options. I heard that Master Chu is a man of chivalry and benevolence, so he begged to come over cheekily. Speaking of which, there are also children in our village who serve under your command. Please look at them and give me a hand." Our chance to repent."
Chu Xi wondered how could such a good thing happen?
The matter of safe money must not be let go so easily.
He had a smile on his face, and his demeanor was extremely kind.
"Good talk good talk!"
"Please remember, Chu is young and cannot bear such a big gift."
"The matter of safety money can be discussed again. Allow me to think about it carefully."
"Everyone, this is embarrassing me. I have actually considered abolishing the money to exploit the people. As for the thieves and bandits inside Xishan, I have more than enough heart but not enough power. You know, our Iron Banner Gang is fighting with the aristocratic families in the city. The battle is fierce, there is no time to be distracted."
Chu Xisheng's voice was very sincere, and he went to help the old people kneeling on the ground one by one, but he refused to tell the truth.
These village chiefs and patriarchs are also fine people, and they knew that the situation was not good as soon as they heard it, so they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Master Chu, please help us, our 27 villages and thousands of hunters are counting on your help!"
"We are willing to pay more, even if we follow Liu Dingtang's rules, as long as our village is safe and sound!"
"The master of the hall is majestic, and his record is impressive! Even the Shen family and the Xishan County Army are not your opponents. As long as you are willing to make a move, the nine knives of the Nine Knife Village and the thirteen masters of the Baiyun Village are in front of you!" No fart."
Chu Xisheng still frowned slightly, looking embarrassed and helpless.
Until one of the old people suddenly gritted his teeth: "As long as Xishantang is willing to protect us, we will take Xishantang as our leader and follow the orders of Chutang Master!"
Chu Xisheng's eyes flickered, and he thought that there was finally a wise man.
The many hunters who were kneeling on the ground were silent at first, and then rushed to be the first.
"Master, my Qi Family Village is also the same, I wish to follow the lead of Xishan Hall!"
"Our Heng family has 320 bows and knives, and we are willing to listen to the master's dispatch!"
Chu Xisheng's face finally showed a little more sincerity.
After hesitating for a moment, he said with a helpless expression: "Everyone, get up first! Please serve tea in the lobby. I want to have a detailed talk with you."
There was a smile on the corner of his lips.
From then on.It is justifiable for Xishantang to drive these hunters.
This is what Xishan Orion asked for himself——
※※※※
In fact, Chu Xisheng intended to endure these Orion leaders again.
However, he was worried about Zuo Qingyun's affairs, so he didn't have much time to devote himself to these people.
It just so happened that these Orion leaders were also very impatient. They were worried that Baiyunzhai and Jiudaowu would make further moves, and they could not wait to ask Xishantang for help immediately.
Therefore, the two parties negotiated the terms in less than an hour.
The 'safety money' has to continue to be collected, but the 4000 taels of magic silver paid by the hunters every month will be spent on themselves.
Xishan Hall will recruit another 27 gang members among the Xishan hunters to form four sub-altars to protect the [-] hunting villages inside Xishan.
The 4000 taels of magic silver is definitely not enough, and Xishantang has to use the public account to subsidize the [-] taels of magic silver.
Each village also promised to improve the village walls and gates, set up mountain patrol teams, and build beacon towers.
Make sure that you can deliver the warning message at the first time, and have a certain amount of self-defense power, at least temporarily resist bandits and monsters in the mountains, and support until the reinforcements from Xishan Hall arrive.
Xishantang can also underwrite all Orion's mountain products, medicinal materials, furs, animal bones, etc., ensuring fair prices.
However, if there is any emergency in the future, all 27 village hunters in Xishan must obey Xishantang's order to fight, and must not refuse or disobey.
Of course, Xishantang will also give certain commissions and rewards to Orion according to the situation, and the rest of the money for burning and burying and pensions are the same as those of the Xishan Gang.
Li Shenshan, Lu Luanli and the others who rushed over to listen felt that the conditions were too loose and made it easier for the hunters.
Chu Xisheng was very satisfied.
If you spend more time grinding, you can indeed force these Orion leaders to impose more stringent terms.
But most of these Xishan hunters are poor men, how much money can they get from them?
What Chu Xisheng really liked was the strength of these hunters.
The actual population of these 27 villages is larger than what the outside world thinks. There are [-] hunters and [-] ten-stone bows.
Each of them can shoot and kill all the members of the Xishan Army in the mountain road with one arrow.
Moreover, their personal fighting ability is also very good, close to the level of the frontier army, and their overall combat strength is much stronger than that of the coolie boatmen on the river.
Chu Xisheng thought to himself that if he grasped this power, the government would be afraid of him in the future.
Just like the county government has always been wary of the Iron Banner Gang.
If Chu Xisheng wanted these hunters to be willing to work for him, he couldn't be too stingy.
While offering kindness and righteousness, he also had to give up money.
Chu Xisheng didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Liu Dingtang.
When they besieged and killed Liu Dingtang before, the bows and arrows of those Xishan hunters were not only limp and powerless, but also lacked any accuracy at all, which greatly fell short of the standard.
These hunters knew it clearly in their hearts, they couldn't resist Xishantang's order, but they could paddle secretly, using only [-]% of their strength.
There is also Xishan, if the Xishan is not stable, the wood, mountain goods and medicinal materials inside will not be transported out, and the advantages of the canal will not be able to be used, so he must put down those bandits.
And once Xishan is leveled, the number of hunters and herb pickers in the mountain will increase significantly, further strengthening the power of Xishan Hall.
This is actually a feat.
It's a pity that the hall, including Lu Luanli, is full of swords and muscles, and they don't understand his thoughts.
Those Orion leaders also couldn't understand the great talent and strategy of Hall Master Chu.
However, they are very satisfied, the conditions that Xishan Hall offers to the hunters are much more generous than they imagined.
Rumor has it that this Xishan hall master is benevolent and kind, open and bright, and he is not adulterated at all.
Some of them were even more regretful, beating their chests and feet after going out, lamenting endlessly.
If they had known that Hall Master Chu was so righteous, they would have followed, so why were they robbed by those bandits?
That Shen family is really harmful!Not only have they been oppressed and exploited all these years, but this time they have lied and deceived them, causing them to misunderstand good people.
Chu Xisheng originally wanted to set up a banquet and invite these Orion leaders to have a meal.
However, these people were eager to return home, wishing to fly back to the villa and tell the good news to the villagers.
Chu Xisheng himself was very anxious about Zuo Qingyun's matter, so he didn't force him to stay.
But when he personally sent these leaders out, he saw a white-haired old man with a strong body about fifty years old, standing at the gate and lingering.
There are two people behind this person, one is a young man around 17 years old, and the other is a beautiful woman in her twenties.
The woman was tall and slender, her complexion was slightly dark due to the sun all year round, but it was very smooth, as smooth as jade.
Her facial features are clear and beautiful, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, exuding a sharp taste.On the neck is a battle pattern in the shape of the Great Sun Golden Crow, extending from the collarbone to the lower jaw.
Chu Xisheng glanced at the three of them and recognized the old man, who seemed to be called Ji Shan?He is the head of Jijia Village.
Just now this person was the first one to shout out 'Take Xishan Hall as the leader of the horse'.
A smile immediately appeared on Chu Xisheng's face, and he clasped his fists in confusion and asked, "Mr. Ji, do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?"
He didn't have any embarrassment when he saw the other party's face, it could be seen that the purpose of this person staying alone was not to ask him for help.
"There is indeed one thing that I want to ask the hall master for permission."
He turned around and introduced the two people behind him for Chu Xisheng: "This pair of siblings are the children of a distant cousin of mine. One is called Ji Qianqian, and his cultivation is at the seventh rank, with both knives and bows; the other is called Ji Yuan, under the eighth rank of cultivation. The two of them asked me to introduce them, and they wanted to join Xishan Hall and serve the hall master.
They are all the most talented hunters in my Jijia Village. They have good cultivation at a young age. If they continue to stay in the mountains, they will only miss their future.It's a pity that their siblings are arrogant and look down on the many tyrants in Xiushui County. They said they wanted to find a wise master, so they delayed their future. Only Master Chu's benevolence and righteousness made them admire and raise their eyebrows. "
"Oh?"
Chu Xisheng's gaze narrowed slightly, looking at the two,
This man named Ji Yuan is indeed talented, and he is almost at the threshold of promotion.
There is a set of "Cloud Sea Divine Bow Jue" among the hunters in Xishan, which is said to be a skill handed down by the "God of Bow" Tianyi.
However, their inheritance is incomplete, and they can only cultivate to the fifth rank at most.
His bloodline talent seems to be very good. I don't know if this person has been in contact with the blood source map pillar?
Based on the conditions of the Xishan Orion, there should be no possibility of touching the blood source column.
However, this person has a sister who is cultivated at the seventh rank, which is not necessarily the case.
Chu Xisheng looked at the woman named Ji Qianqian again.
At the age of 23 and four years old, this girl actually has a cultivation level of seventh rank, which is not easy considering her family background.
Chu Xisheng couldn't see clearly, and felt that the other party was unpredictable.
However, his current cultivation base is low, and any master of the sixth or seventh rank can give him a sense of inscrutability.
He asked curiously: "Miss Qian Qian, may I show Chu your archery and saber skills?"
He had to see the quality of the other party first before arranging her duties in the gang.
Moreover, not everyone can afford the four characters of 'swords and bows'.
Ji Qianqian clasped his fists and smiled, and said in a crisp voice: "It's a matter of course! But ordinary target shooting is boring. It just so happens that there are a group of silver-winged swallows in the sky, hall master, please take a look."
She untied a long hunting bow directly from behind, and then shot five arrows into the sky with a snap of her fingers.
Chu Xisheng looked up, then felt a little startled.
Just above the two thousand zhang cloud sky, there is indeed a small flock of silver-winged swallows.
Silver-winged Swallows are monster birds with eighth-rank strength. They not only fly extremely fast, but also have strong reflexes and are very sensitive.
The one in the lead had two wings mixed with pale gold, and its cultivation was close to rank seven.
With Chu Xisheng's current eyesight, he could barely catch the flight trajectory of this group of monster birds.
The arrow, which counts money, arrived in an instant. The speed of the arrow far exceeds that of modern bullets, and when it shoots [-] feet, it breeds changes, like modern missiles. There was no way to escape, and she shot down six of them with five arrows.
Two of them kill two birds with one stone!
After counting the money and stopping the bow, he looked proud and said: "This hunting bow under the seventh rank is a relic left by my father. It is not easy to handle. If the hall master is willing to give me a good bow and three battle pictures, I will His shooting skills can be much stronger.
As long as I don't enter the seventh rank of the Qingyun ranking, I can shoot and kill with one arrow within three hundred feet.I can also use archery to restrain the sixth-rank players below [-] on the Famous Heroes List, so that they cannot move.As for sword skills, please choose an opponent. "
Chu Xisheng was eye-opening, thinking that he really found a treasure today.
This little Xishan actually has such a sharp shot?
"I don't need it anymore, just relying on Miss Ji's archery skills, she can be ranked among the top three in Xishan Hall."
Chu Xisheng shook his head with a smile on his face: "Chu is willing to recruit a girl into the church with a monthly salary of one thousand taels. Then the public account in the hall will borrow 5000 taels with [-]% interest, and buy you a sixth-grade war bow." With two battle maps.
Considering that you haven't achieved an inch of merit, it's not easy to be directly promoted to the altar master. I want to wrong Miss Ji first and become my bodyguard.And this little brother, let's start with the incense master who governs ten people, what do you two think? "
Ji Qianqian raised his eyebrows, with joy in his eyes: "We brothers and sisters understand the rules, this is exactly what I want!"
※※※※
Chu Xisheng was very enthusiastic and caring towards the Ji family brothers and sisters, and even specially asked Lu Pingyuan to arrange accommodation for them and introduce Tangkou.
But when he walked into the back hall, his complexion sank slightly, and he looked outside the door thoughtfully.
This pair of Ji family brothers and sisters is a bit weird, why have such outstanding figures like them not been well-known?
The identities of the two seem to be no problem, the brothers and sisters of the Ji family have always grown up in the Ji family village, if they are the second or fifth children arranged by others, it will be difficult to hide them from the eyes and ears of Xishan Hall.
He also hinted at Lu Pingyuan just now, trying to find out the root of the siblings.
Chu Xisheng then shook his head, walked into his room, and took out all the 5000 taels of silver bills he had hidden in the secret compartment under the bed.
Chu Yunyun watched quietly from behind, she folded her arms on her chest: "It seems that Zuo Qingyun's situation is not good?"
"I have to go far!" Chu Xi sighed, and at the same time raised the bank notes in her hand: "I can't keep the money."
This was originally the capital he prepared for himself and Chu Yunyun to practice.
Chu Yunyun didn't care.
The two of them can now withdraw 2000 taels from the public account of Xishan Hall every month.After the opening of the canal, the income will be even more.
She nodded slightly: "This is the meaning of a friend, it should be! But what are you going to do about the affairs in the hall?"
"give it to you!"
Chu Xisheng touched the bridge of his nose, looking helpless: "Shangguan Shenhao and the Shen family are always planning to fight back. Without you, I can't rest assured about this foundation. And those bandits in Xishan, when they are forced out of the mountain, they are When the Shen family tried to fight back.
But these are easy to deal with, the key is that there are so many young people in the hall, if we are not careful, we will be overthrown.Just now the Sword Inspector told me that there are at least nineteen internal ghosts in our hall, it's a hell of a ghost. "
"so much?"
Chu Yunyun was also taken aback, and then also had a headache.
Indeed, at this time there is no powerful person in the hall who can't restrain these demons and ghosts.
"Then you take Luanli over there."
Without Lu Luanli accompanying her, she was worried about Chu Xisheng's safety.
"No, she's staring at the Nishen Banner. She might agree, but she'll definitely be reluctant. What's more, if I want to protect the hunters in Xishan, I have to rely on her strength."
Chu Xi burst out laughing: "I'll just take the meter money, and the money in my hand can also buy my safety."
"Counting money?"
Chu Yunyun also looked out the window.
She also saw the arrow that counted money just now.
She pondered and said: "This woman's strength is not bad, 5000 taels can exchange her for a good bow, two powerful battle plans, but is this woman reliable?"
Chu Xi laughed and said: "Whether she is reliable or not, she can definitely be used by me. If there is no problem with this girl, then of course there is no need to worry. But if she is also here for the flagpole of Nishen, she will not sit and watch me die by others hands."
Chu Yunyun raised her eyebrows with a clear expression.
If Chu Xisheng is dead, where will these two or five boys look for clues to Nishen's flagpole?
※※※※
At the same time, on the north side of the capital of Daning, there is a group of caves dug underground in the capital.
Two brothers, Hu Kan and Hu Lai, sat face to face in a small cave room, looking at a letter in front of them solemnly.
The letter was forwarded by Chu Xisheng through Wu Meiniang's channel, the content was to greet them, and then "by the way" asked the two of them for help to help him become famous.
Enclosed with the letter is a total of one hundred unregistered bank notes with a denomination of one hundred taels, which can be directly withdrawn from the 'Tianxia Bank' in the city.
"Money touches people's hearts! I didn't feel it before, but now I have a deep understanding."
Hu Lai let out a foul breath.
Living in the capital is not easy, the two of them stayed here for half a year, and the money in their hands was already very difficult.
Chu Xisheng's sum of money was like a timely gift!
Hu looked at the opposite side: "Brother, take other people's money and do things for others. I think Brother Chu's sword skills and talent can be selected for this year's 'Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swords'."
This is a gimmick made by the Tianji Museum. Every three years, less than ten young swordsmen with outstanding talents will be selected, known as the "Ten Outstanding Swordsmen of Shenxiu".
The selected young swordsmen are all from Shenzhou. They are both smart and beautiful, so they are called Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsmen, and they are the seeds of the future swordsmanship.
There are also Shenxiu's ten outstanding swords, Shenxiu's ten outstanding fists, etc., all kinds of things.
And because most of the "Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Knives" selected by Tianji Pavilion over the years have entered the local list, they are extremely credible.
Every time the Tianji Pavilion starts to select, it will attract the attention of countless martial artists in the world.
"The problem is that the minimum standard for Shenxiu Top Ten is the top ten in each state."
Hu Kan closed his eyes half-closed and fell into deep thought: "Junior brother Chu defeated Si Huangquan a few months ago, and now Si Huangquan is No. 90 in the Qingyun ranking. After a few months, junior brother Chu's strength should have improved. Many, especially he has also experienced the first "Burning Blood Festival". The ranking given to him by Dongzhou Qingyun Ranking should be underestimated. But even so, it is still too reluctant for him to enter the Shenxiu Top Ten, but—— "
Hu Kan's eyes flickered slightly: "Let's go, let's talk to the owner of the workshop."
He walked forward and walked into a deep cave.
Although the name of Tianji Pavilion has the word "Ge" in it, but because of the imperial court's attack, it has to hide in a group of caves underground in the capital.
The Tianji Pavilion has a total of five workshops in the southeast, northwest and middle, which are in charge of the affairs of 36 states.
Hu Kan and Hu Kan both worked in Dongfang.
Their owner is in his thirties, with a clear face and elegant temperament.
After hearing about the intention of the two brothers' visit, this person went to the nearby bookshelf and began to search for all the information about Chu Xisheng.
"Include Chu Xisheng in Shenxiu's top ten knives? What do you guys think? This kid is No. 20 and ninth in Dongzhou Qingyun list. He is almost 16 years old and his cultivation is only on the eighth rank. Uh~ he really defeated I lost Si Huangquan, but it was Si Huangquan before I found my lungs. The current 'Iron Shura' has far more combat power than a few months ago."
"My lord, Si Huangquan has recovered his lungs, but Chu Xisheng has also experienced the 'Blood Burning Sacrifice'. According to our information, this person's various blood talents seem to have been strengthened. And Judging from the battles that Chu Xisheng has experienced after the Burning Blood Festival, no one has been able to force out his true strength! No one has mastered the limit of his knife speed!"
After Hu Kan finished speaking, he clasped his fists together, and his eyes flashed with strangeness: "There are more! The eight people who have been confirmed for this issue of Shenxiu's Ten Outstanding Swordsmen are all from the Northland and Heluo Prefectures, and the fifteen Southern Prefectures so far. None of them were selected. Bozhu, don’t you think this is inappropriate?”
The owner of Dongfang Fang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
"Tianji Wupu" is naturally based on credibility.
But in addition to this, they also have to consider the sales of each issue.
If there is not even a single southerner among Shenxiu's ten outstanding knives, then the southern martial arts society will be less and less interested in this selection.
He couldn't help but concentrate again, looking at the information about Chu Xisheng in his hand.
Seems to work?
This kid's strength and cultivation base are a little bit low, but Chu Xisheng is in Dongzhou, and it is unlikely that he will encounter the rest of Shenxiu's ten outstanding swordsmen, so he is not afraid of revealing his secrets.
