Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 124 The county guard summoned and overwhelmed people with power

The first time Chu Tang met Su Hong, the prefect of Gui County, was also the first time he entered the backyard of the county government.

It is located behind the main hall of the Yamen in Guijun County. It occupies a large area, surrounded by pavilions and corridors, and alternated with flowers and plants.

There is also a small lake of about half an mu on the side. It is approaching early summer. The lake is full of round lotus pavilions, the lake is clear, and the fish swim in the shallow bottom and play among the lotus leaves.

What a beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town!
Chu Tang visited Su Hong, the governor of the county, at a small pavilion by the lake.

After Zhuo Lien introduced the two, he left and left Chu Tang to face Su Hong alone.

Only then did he have the time to look at the chief of a county who only heard of his name but didn't know him.

To Chu Tang's surprise, Su Hong did not look like a frail scholar. On the contrary, he wore plain white casual clothes, which not only had the cleanness of a warrior's strong clothes, but also a gentle and refined literati temperament, simple and elegant.

He was less than forty, with a white face and short beard, and a handsome demeanor in a light weathered face, and he was also a handsome guy when he was young.

Looking at his movements, Chu Tang guessed that the other party was not a scholar who could only write, but also some superficial martial arts.

Dayao's court established the country with martial arts, and most of the people in the country also practiced martial arts, but there were only a few people in a hundred who could develop Qi, and as for those who could condense into gangs, it was one in a thousand.

Everyone practices martial arts, which makes the civil and military system not clear.

Many warriors and those with outstanding literary talents can also be admitted as civil servants and participate in government affairs.

Of course, there are too many civil servants and government affairs, and most martial artists who are interested in martial arts are unwilling to get involved. Too much distraction is not beneficial to martial arts.

Only those who are not highly qualified in martial arts, or who have no hope of future in martial arts, will deeply participate in the government.

Chu Tang reckoned that Su Hong should be at the first or second level of cultivation, and he was able to look taller because of his energy.

When they met, Su Hong was holding a handful of feed and feeding the fish in the lake.

A group of fish gathered together and scrambled to grab food first, causing waves of water in the lake.

Under Zhuo Lien's introduction, Su Hong beckoned Chu Tang to sit down on the stone chair in the hall.

Four small stone round piers are used as chairs, surrounding a round stone table with seasonal fruits and a small pot of tea.

The faint water vapor curls up from the teapot spout, and the fragrance is tangy.

The whole scene looks extremely elegant and leisurely.

"This is a very tasteful person." Chu Tang had his first impression of Su Hong in his heart.

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and people watching the scenery look at you upstairs.

Chu Tang looked at Su Hong, and the latter kept looking at the former.

Su Hong's first impression of Chu Tang was: "This boy is quite bold!"

Although he is not a warrior, but as a fifth-rank official of the imperial court and the highest officer of a county, Su Hong has a lot of momentum and prestige. Usually, the people below are cautious when they see him, and they don't even have the courage to look straight at him.

Not to mention anyone else, but Zhuo Lien, who is a seventh-rank military officer, is far more powerful than Su Hong, but when he sees the latter, he is also respectful.

The Dayao court has only been established for a hundred years, and the national power is at its peak, and the national power is still at its peak. The prestige and strength of the court and the royal family are far beyond the organizations of all parties. The civil servants who represent the court's face and governance system can still coerce subordinates through their official positions and ranks. .

Of course, that's because the strength of the fighters he faced was not outstanding.

Once a warrior has achieved the upper three realms, in a state, let alone a county guard of the fifth or sixth rank, even a dignified governor of the third rank may not be able to restrain him.

The Black Clothes Guard was created to fill the shortage of civil servants.

If the civil governor can't suppress the warriors of the third rank, then the Black Clothes Guards will come forward to suppress them.

If the Black Clothes Guards can't handle it, then they have to use the country's sharp weapon-thousands of troops will hold all kinds of broken weapons to teach the warriors to be human!
Once the Gang-breaking weapon has become a scale, even the peerless experts of the ninth rank will have to go around when they see it.

Because no matter how high the martial arts are, you may be able to hide hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows, but when all the arrows are fired at one person, no matter how strong the aura of the nine-level master is, if you don't dodge it, you will be killed. These gangbang crossbow arrows pierced through the gang qi like dense rain, destroying the body.

This is the foundation of Dayao's imperial court coercing the world.

No matter how powerful an individual is, it is difficult to compete against the huge state apparatus and the sharp weapon of countless people.

Of course, no warrior of the Nine Realms would stand there stupidly and receive thousands of broken gangbow arrows.

They can evade, sneak attack, and ambush.

When a nine-level martial artist puts down his body to do assassination, it is very terrifying, and he can't carry it if he is not in the same level.

Therefore, the royal family formed a tacit agreement with the warriors of the Nine Realms on the rivers and lakes, that is, don't tear your face, let alone make a move easily, and maintain a balance.

Everyone's well water does not violate the river water, and they live in peace.

This is also the reason why it is said that the warriors of the Nine Realms are extinct in the rivers and lakes-in fact, it is not that they are no longer walking in the rivers and lakes, but that they are relatively hidden and dare not make a big show of it.

In a word, the top warriors in this world can sit on an equal footing with the imperial power, but the imperial court still suppresses many warriors.

Facing the prestige of the imperial court, many warriors still have to bow their heads!
Su Hong, as the official of the imperial court and the head of a county, has a high aura and a lot of prestige. The people of the county government respect him very much. Now that he finds that Chu Tang dares to look up at him all the time, he naturally thinks that this young man is very bold. up.

Fortunately, Su Hong thought he was open-minded, so he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he praised Chu Tang: "The leader of Chu Tang is indeed young and promising. I have long admired his name, and I finally got to see him today."

Chu Tang couldn't figure out Su Hong's intention, he was just being modest and polite.

On the way here, he also asked Zhuo Lien why the sheriff wanted to summon him.

Zhuo Lien also replied that he did not know.

However, Chu Tang always believed that there was no good banquet, and that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall if there was nothing to do. Su Hong summoned him on his own initiative, and it was definitely not for the sake of polite greetings.

Su Hong smiled again and said: "Recently, the Chu Bantou is famous in Gui County, and I am also very happy that the county government has such talents as the Chu Bantou. It is absolutely necessary to meet our young talents from Gui County."

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed." Chu Tang was still polite.

Su Hong waved his hands and said: "Although I am not a high-level official, I still have some common sense about martial arts realm. Chu Bantou is only 20 years old this year, and he is already in the fourth realm. He can also kill thieves or Killing or capturing, coercing people in the same realm is difficult for non-geniuses. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the leader of the same generation."

Chu Tang's brow was sweating.

Such a tall hat, he can't wear it stably!

He who only wants to do the right thing, why is he so eye-catching?

Could it be that he is as bright as a firefly in the dark night—be handsome, but you still have to pay for sleeping!
"My lord!" Chu Tang yelled bravely, raised his head, looked at Su Hong who seemed to have a smile on his face with piercing eyes, and took the initiative to ask, "I don't know if my lord has summoned you, what orders do you have?"

The corner of Su Hong's mouth kept smiling, picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured two cups of tea, pushed a cup to Chu Tang, and said, "Drink the tea first."

It happened that the sun was scorching hot, and Chu Tang, who had been driving for a long time, was not polite, so he picked up the cup and drank it.

At this time, you can't worry that the other party will poison you.

If he really hesitated, he might not be able to hang out in the county office.

The cup was too small, and Chu Tang felt that it could not quench his thirst.

Su Hong poured him another cup and said, "Team Chu has worked so hard all the way, and this tea is my respect to thank Ban Tou Chu for his service to the county government!"

Chu Tang didn't drink any more, but took a sip and sipped the tea carefully.

There are jasmine flowers in the tea. The fragrance of the tea and the fragrance of the flowers are mixed together to form a special fragrance. It is quite delicious to taste carefully.

After three cups of tea, Chu Tang didn't want to pretend to be stupid any more, so he went straight to the topic and asked, "Your Excellency, there are things that are useful to me, please just tell me!"

Su Hong smiled, shook his head and said, "You young people, you just have no patience! The boss of Chu is so direct, I'm not ashamed."

Chu Tang was very speechless, thinking that you are the sheriff, otherwise I will tell you what it means to be impatient with my fist!

"As a police officer of the county government office, I must share the worries of the county magistrate!" Chu Tang said loudly.

He still needs this awareness.

Su Hong nodded and said: "Then I will not be polite. In fact, the reason why I invited Team Leader Chu to see me is because I want Team Leader Chu to help me send someone to Qingcheng in a few days."

"Send someone to Qingcheng?" Chu Tang was greatly surprised.

It's just a gift to someone, it's extremely simple, just to make it mysterious and mysterious?

After staying in the county office for a long time, the people he came into contact with became more and more popular. Chu Tang was no longer the Wuxia Ameng who caught Dayao or Liangzhou blind.

Liangzhou is very special among the nine states in Dayao's world. It has the most remote terrain and the largest territory. It governs 81 counties and hundreds of counties.

Why special?

Because of the war!

It was the site of the Four Wars. The Northwest wanted to fight against the Rong people, and the Southwest also wanted to keep the barbarians out of the country. At first, the imperial court gathered all parties together for the convenience of military operations.

Over time, from the military to the administration, a system has been formed, and finally it is established as a state.

The most special feature of Liangzhou is its size!
In the era of inconvenient transportation, too many counties are not conducive to management.

Some people in the Dayao court had a big brain hole. In addition to establishing Yuncheng in the southwest as the state city of Liangzhou, they also established Qingcheng in the north as the city of Fuzhou.

Yuncheng is garrisoned by the governor of Liangzhou, who is mainly in charge of military affairs; Qingcheng also has a deputy governor, who is in charge of civil affairs.

The former is more martial arts, while the latter is more literary.

The degree of prosperity of the two places is almost the same, both are the central towns of Liangzhou.

As for Guijun, which is located in the southeast of Liangzhou, whether you go southwest to Yuncheng or north to Qingcheng, the distance is roughly the same. It is seven or eight hundred miles away, and it takes several days for a fast horse to arrive.

As soon as Chu Tang heard Su Hong say to send someone to Qingcheng, he thought it was not something that could go back and forth in a few days.

Sure enough, I only heard Su Hong say: "I have a little girl who studied and practiced at Wutong Academy in Qingcheng, and came to Guijun to reunite with me a few years ago. I wanted to send someone to send her back to Qingcheng a while ago, but I heard that on the way Some are not peaceful, so they have been stranded until now. This officer has considered it and thinks it is better to send her to Qingcheng in a few days."

"So..." Chu Tang felt bitter, "My lord is going to escort Miss to Qingcheng?"

Su Hong nodded and said: "The talented young man at the head of the Chu team, famous in Gui County, can shock Xiao Xiao, and is the best choice to escort the little girl!"

Chu Tang asked cautiously: "My lord, can I refuse?"

"What do you think?" Su Hong smiled.

Chu Tang shut up, knowing that it was not good to refuse directly, and immediately dumped the blame: "My lord, in fact, as a veteran warrior of the four realms, Fang Kaifang's team leader has more prestige in Gui County, and in addition, he has a lot of talents in class A under his command. A group of people go to escort, and they will be safe. He is the best choice!"

It's just that Fang Kai is not here, otherwise Chu Tang must be torn apart.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a good thing to be valued by the county guard, which is conducive to future promotion.

The problem is, this is not a public matter, but a private matter.

Not to mention anything else, if Su Hong's daughter was even slightly injured on the way, this would not only be done in vain, but it might even offend the county magistrate.

People who are a little bit smarter don't want to get involved in this matter.

"Coincidentally!" Su Hong said leisurely, "I have mentioned this matter with Fang Kai, and he also recommended you, Team Leader Chu. He also said that Team Leader Chu is superior in martial arts, and lost to you in the martial arts competition!"

Chu Tang: Fang Kai, I XXOO your ancestor!
He even suspected that when Fang Kai encouraged him to compete in martial arts before, he knew about the escort in advance and deliberately lost to him, thus throwing the big pot of the day on his head!

Fang Kai, I curse you in circles!

"My lord, my servant, my servant..." Chu Tang became anxious.

He wished he could give himself a few Qishang punches in the chest, spitting out blood, and then dodged the injury.

"Huh?" Su Hong's face gradually darkened, "This is the first time this officer asks you to do something, and the leader of Chu doesn't give you face like this?"

Chu Tang really wanted to disobey his order, and even more wanted to put down his burden and leave.

He felt that he was still in Xinshou Village, and he didn't want to leave Gui County so early.

However, he was worried that offending Su Hong would implicate Zhuo Lien and even Xu Wei from Shi County.

"Your Majesty, obey!" Chu Tang agreed with his scalp numb.

Sure enough, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Su Hong then smiled and said: "Chu Boss, I will not treat you badly. Fang Cai Zhuo suggested to prescribe the county government arsenal to you, and I agreed. In this way, weapons, elixirs, and martial arts will be treated according to your needs." Feel free to choose as much as you like! How about it?"

What else could Chu Tang say, but thank you.

Su Hong explained some specific matters with him, and finally agreed to leave in three days before letting Chu Tang go.

And Chu Tang angrily went to settle accounts with Fang Kai.

After Chu Tang left, Su Hong continued to feed the fish in the lake.

After a while, a beautiful woman in brocade clothes came out from the corner of the backyard.

She is about 30 years old, dressed in purple, with a majestic temperament, unparalleled beauty and charm.

"Husband, did the head of the Chu team agree to escort Qingyue to Qingcheng?" Before the beauty reached the pavilion, she asked Su Hong loudly from a distance.

"Ma'am!" Su Hong beckoned the woman to enter the pavilion and sit down.

The person who came was the wife he was marrying, and also the mother of his daughter Su Qingyue.

Madam Su blinked her bright eyes, and asked the question again.

Su Hong nodded slightly, and said, "He wanted to refuse, but I suppressed him with force."

Mrs. Su was suddenly worried: "If you do this, will he feel unhappy, just don't work too hard."

"That's not the case. I've inquired about his character, and he's not the kind of irresponsible person." Su Hong was not worried, "Besides, I have opened the county government arsenal to him. For warriors, He must be very happy."

Regarding this point, Su Hong was wrong.

Chu Tang, who has a face, doesn't care about martial arts pills, what he wants is safety.

Mrs. Su frowned beautifully, and said worriedly: "Husband, are we really going to send Qingyue to Wutong Academy? I'm afraid something might happen to her on the way."

Su Hong sighed and said: "I have to give it away! As a family of Qingcheng, who would have thought that our Su family and Cheng family would fight so fiercely in the next year that people would start to die! Although my martial arts are not very good, I am a county guard after all. , the status and status are not low, and they are also the target of the Cheng family. I am afraid that they will jump the wall in a hurry and come directly to Gui County to be a demon. For the sake of Qingyue's safety, I can only send it to Wutong Academy as soon as possible. There are six-level powerhouses in the academy Guard, the Cheng family dare not go there, safety is guaranteed."

Mrs. Su snorted, and asked again: "Why do I feel that you value that arrester surnamed Chu?"

Su Hong's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "A 20-year-old four-level martial artist, a genius-like figure, and a hopeful existence in the upper three levels, is also a true disciple in the Holy Land!"

Mrs. Su asked suspiciously: "Yesterday you told Qingyue to ask him more on the road and get in touch with him more. You don't want them... Qingyue is only under 16 years old!"

Su Hong sneered, and explained: "If this Chutang can really achieve the cultivation of the upper three realms, as long as he is still in the Gongmen, the court will definitely cultivate him vigorously, and he will become a giant if he is reused. Our Su family has accumulated for hundreds of years. I have never been a strong person in the upper three realms... Sigh! If Qingyue hadn't been exceptionally beautiful, I wouldn't worry about it. Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans for it!"

Mrs. Su also sighed slightly, and said: "I only hope that they can arrive at the academy safely."

Su Hong hugged his wife lightly and continued to comfort her.

And Chu Tang, who was talked about by them, found Fang Kai, scolded him a few times, vented his depression, and then asked the county guard about Su Hong's love for his daughter.
