Comprehensive Martial Arts: The Emperor's Growth Plan

Chapter 67 Seven Heroes Town

On the wide and empty pipeline, two young men rode forward together. Compared with the smiles on the faces of their companions, the boy in white was not in a good mood

"By the way, why do you insist on going on the road with me?" Zhao Xuan looked helplessly at Lu Xiaofeng, who was beside him with a playful smile. Afterwards, he insisted on going with him in a shameless manner, saying that he also had many Wudang friends, and he happened to be traveling with Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan, who couldn't handle Lu Xiaofeng, originally planned to sneak away by himself, but unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng predicted it, and was blocked by him at the gate of the city. He was forced to give up his chance to wander the world alone, and brought Lu Xiaofeng, an annoying guy, went out together.

However, although Zhao Xuan complained, he knew in his heart that the reason why the other party insisted on going to Wudang with him was because he was afraid that although he had good military power, he lacked experience in the world. If you are not careful, you may fall into the dirty tricks where your martial arts are not as good as your own.

You know, no matter how good martial arts are, they can't be more powerful than people's sinister hearts. Many martial arts masters have fallen into conspiracy and tricks. It is very likely that it is just because he is generous and does not understand the principle of not revealing his wealth, which arouses greed in people's hearts.

Even the No. [-] sword in the world, Yan Nantian, fell into the sand in the Valley of the Evil. There has been no news for more than ten years. It is basically certain that he died. Doubling the number of top ten villains in the Valley of the Wicked to become the top twenty villains is not enough for Yan Nantian to kill alone.

But even Yan Daxia, who has rich experience in the world and superb martial arts, has fallen, and a brat like Zhao Xuan is no exception.

Lu Xiaofeng was also afraid that Zhao Xuan would encounter an accident on the way to Wudang, so he insisted on going with him on the road. He was afraid that what he said would arouse Zhao Xuan's resentment, so he behaved like this on purpose.

The two bickered with each other along the way, chatting and laughing, and soon came to a small town. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Xuan decided to find an inn to stay here, and wait until tomorrow when they set off, after all, they were traveling late at night. If there is nothing important, it has always been a big taboo in the world. After all, it is easy to see ghosts when you walk too much at night. Many evil people like to do things at night. up!
Although the town is not big, the sparrows are small and well-equipped. Even though it is getting late, the sound of salesmen in the town, the sound of bargaining between customers and sellers in the small stalls, and the sound of children playing and playing are still heard endlessly. It can be seen that the life of the people in this small town should be very happy, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the local parents only manage

Seeing the scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, both Zhao Xuan and Lu Xiaofeng felt that the fatigue of traveling all the way had been washed away, and Zhao Xuan took the lead in feeling, "If only all the people in my Song Dynasty could live like this! In fact, their request Really not much, just have clothes to wear; have food to eat, that's enough!"

"That's right! But there are some people who are unwilling to satisfy even their little desires, and go out of their way to exploit them and get money from them!"

In the current Song Dynasty, although no natural disasters or man-made disasters have occurred, the weather has been smooth in recent years. It is reasonable to say that Haiyan, Heqing, and crops are plentiful, but now the people in some places are very difficult to survive!

From the point of view of the elders in the court, the more prosperous the times, the richer the people’s pockets, and the more money they can make. The place close to the capital is fine, fearing being known by the emperor, those corrupt officials still have They are restrained, but like those places close to the border, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, those people have no scruples. As the saying goes, the magistrate of the exterminated family, the magistrate of the broken family, even the dead in your family can collect a funeral tax!

In addition, the Song Dynasty claimed to "govern the world with the scholar-bureaucrats". For officials who committed crimes, as long as they were not angry and resentful, the most serious punishment was exile to Lingnan and other dangerous places to fend for themselves.

It's not that there are no clean streams like Mr. Zhuge in the court, but even Mr. Zhuge, a veteran of the two dynasties, can't do anything about the corruption of the ministers in the court, except for treacherous officials like Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu who are in the court with him. The resistance is that it is too difficult to find out the real spotless one in Chaozhong!

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money!Even if you don't want to accept bribes, your colleagues will force you to join them. Even if you don't do anything, a sum of tribute will be sent to the family every year.If you are stubborn and report to the higher authorities, you will become an enemy of the entire officialdom, and memorials to impeach you will soon be flying everywhere.

So Mr. Zhuge has nothing to do with such an official atmosphere!

Zhao Xuan's identity was sensitive, the two agreed to stop discussing the matter after a brief sentence, and asked the passers-by nearby if there was any inn in the town where they could stay.

"Ma'am, may I ask, where is there an inn in this town?"

Zhao Xuan called to an old lady who was passing by, and seeing that she looked like she had just finished shopping and was going home to cook, she asked.

The aunt is very enthusiastic. After seeing that Zhao Xuan and Lu Xiaofeng are foreigners, she observed that their clothes, appearance and conversation did not look like bad guys, so she opened her mouth and said:
"There is only one inn within a radius of ten miles here, and you can see it not far away."

After thanking the aunt, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Xuan chatted as they walked, "By the way, we didn't encounter any bandits and bullies who robbed houses on this journey, and this skill is useless at all."

"No, it's right! We are all on the official road this way, if there are people robbing the road everywhere, that would be a strange thing!"

"That's right, I knew we would not follow the official path, and I would find a few thieves so that I could practice my skills. Now I don't feel like I'm breaking into the rivers and lakes."

"I can't wait for the road to go smoothly, and I'm happy to be leisurely!" Lu Xiaofeng just went through a big battle, and now he is too lazy to fight with others, and he doesn't like Zhao Xuan's words
"However, the name of this small town is very interesting. It's actually called Seven Heroes Town! It's a coincidence that my master Yu Lianzhou and my uncles and uncles happen to be called Wudang Seven Heroes!"

Lu Xiaofeng also found it interesting, but it was just a coincidence, so he didn't take it to heart
Soon, they saw an inn
