Chapter 780: The Scholar.
The saying in the underworld is that the court and the underworld are two different worlds and each does its own thing.

But in the final analysis, these are words spoken by people in the martial arts world who want to be free and easy and do not want to be lackeys of the court. But the truth is, which sect does not have good relations with the local government?

Su Ziyu had delivered the letters to the major sects in Yuzhou more than half a month ago, and he had calculated the day when Xia Fengxiang and others would arrive, and specifically chose the 20th of this month.

As of now, some sects have already set out. Even Konghe Valley and Cuiyang Mountain, two of the most prestigious sects in the entire Yuzhou area, have already sent people to Yuzhou City.

A thin Taoist priest, wearing a felt hat, a tattered Taoist robe, and a pair of cloth shoes.

A burly and well-dressed middle-aged man, with a sword on his waist. There seemed to be seven red agates on the sword. Eight of his ten fingers had dazzling gem rings.

The two of them sitting at the same table make the contrast particularly evident.

There was also a young man at the same table, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a handsome appearance, and a graceful and elegant manner like jade.

There were people from the martial arts world sitting at the tables around the three men, and they were also the disciples of the three men.

Three people, representing three sects, went to Yuzhou City.

The burly man glanced at the young man and couldn't help but said, "Sanxiao, your father is not kind. He asked you two brothers and sisters to come out to deal with that Lord Su."

The man called Sanxiao's surname is Qi, and his given name is Qi Sanxiao. He is the young master of Konghe Valley. His strength of the seventh rank is actually quite good for his age, and he is considered a genius in the martial arts world. After all, there are not so many geniuses among geniuses like Yan Ruyu and Sheyue.

Qi Sanxiao heard what the man said, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Senior Jin, my father has been in seclusion for two months, otherwise he would have come in person. Otherwise, such a big thing would not allow us two brothers and sisters to come out."

Jinqian Villa, as its name suggests, is a legitimate and wealthy sect. In the whole Yuzhou, there are at least 200 shops, if not 100. Two major escort agencies are also under its name. The only thing it lacks in strength is that it has only one Zhijing, and its foundation is only a few decades old. Otherwise, it can be as famous as Konghe Valley.

But they are really rich. They pay a lot of taxes to the Yuzhou government alone. So although they look like a martial arts sect, they actually have the Yuzhou government behind them. Even if someone is greedy and wants to take over Jinqian Villa, they have to consider the importance of Yuzhou.

This man named Jin Dajun is the current owner of Jinqian Villa and a ninth-rank swordsman.

Jin Dajun glanced at Qi Sanxiao, and then at the pretty girl sitting at a table not far away: "Is this a sign that Old Qi is about to enter a state of demise?"

Qi Sanxiao immediately said, "Senior Jin, I really don't know. I just know that my father has been in seclusion and there is no news."

The kid is very tight-lipped and never lets anything slip.

This made Jin Dajun shake his head: "It's boring."

After saying that, Jin Dajun looked at the Taoist priest and said, "If Old Qi from Konghe Valley enters the realm of the end, then he will overshadow your Cuiyang Mountain. Aren't you in a hurry?"

The current head of Cuiyang Mountain opened his eyes slightly, smiled softly and looked at Qi Sanxiao: "When you reach the end, Cuiyang Mountain will definitely come to watch the ceremony."

Qi Sanxiao quickly stood up to thank him, but he also did not forget to be humble. However, he was actually unsure. Although his grandfather said that his father had an 80% chance of success, there was still a 10% chance of failure.

Jin Dajun felt bored again. He looked around and noticed a man wearing a veil sitting in a remote corner of a roadside tea stall. He looked like a scholar, so he sighed, "All the scholars are running to Yandi."

I have seen too many people these days, whether they are scholars or people from the martial arts world, all of them are going to Yan.

Kim Dae-kyun and everyone else knew what it was for.

But Jin Dajun didn't think much about it, but turned around to look at the two people at the table. They had just met them. After all, the official road that the three sects had to take to go to Yuzhou intersected here.

Jin Dajun said, "You two sects are very important in Yuzhou, so let's talk about what Mr. Su wants to do with the leaders of our sects?"

The head of Cuiyang Mountain, whose Taoist name is Qing Chanzi, opened one eye and looked at Jin Dajun: "If we talk about the connection with the government, you should have a deeper connection than us."

Jin Dajun spread his hands, the jewels on his hands sparkled in the sun, and then he said innocently: "I have to explain this matter. I just helped the government deliver some things and paid more taxes."

Qi San smiled and said nothing, just glanced at his sister.

But the pretty girl didn't even look at Qi Sanxiao, and was obviously angry about something.

Jin Dajun was a troublemaker, and immediately asked in a low voice: "I heard that you are planning to discuss marriage with the Chuhemen? Marry your sister to Chu Xun, who is as famous as you in the Chuhemen?"

Qi Sanxiao looked at Jin Dajun and did not hide the truth: "My younger sister is finally old enough to get married, so I am still looking for a suitable person for them to meet."

Jin Dajun immediately said, "How's my kid? Although his martial arts talent is not as good as yours and Chu Xun's, it won't be a problem for him to reach the seventh or eighth rank if he works hard. Isn't it better for our two families to marry each other than your marriage with the Chuhe Clan?"

Qi Sanxiao shook his head and said, "Senior, you are wrong. This is not a marriage. It is just that my younger sister has reached the age and she herself is not in a hurry for this matter. So my mother is anxious and this is the reason for this arrangement."

Qing Chanzi looked at Jin Dajun and smiled.

Jin Dajun laughed, picked up the cup and took a sip, but he glanced at Qi Sanxiao. It was incredible that at this age, he could speak so carefully.

But the next moment, Jin Dajun asked: "What about you? Your mother must be worried about you. Think about our Yuzhou, the one from the Ruan family on the Rouge List is a good match for you. Do you have this plan?"

After hearing this, Qi Sanxiao said, "I have never met the girl from the Ruan family. Besides, my mother is not worried about my affairs."

Jin Dajun chuckled, but was about to speak.

I heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up, only to see three riders running towards me. When they approached the tea stall, the three riders stopped.

There were three people, two men and one woman, all young people. The leading young man took a quick glance and found that there were no empty tables in the tea stall, and all the tables were occupied by people from the three sects, so he immediately looked at the scholar who was sitting alone with a veil on his head.

"You, give up the table!"

The young man was arrogant and slammed the sword in his hand directly on the table while speaking.

The scholar raised his eyes and faced the young man, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just stood up, picked up his bag and prepared to give up the table.

The people around looked at this scene and sneered, but did not say much. Scholars are usually spineless and only afraid of being bullied.

Such things are everywhere in the world nowadays, and it can't even be considered lively.

"Waste!" The other two of the three glanced at the scholar who was silently carrying his bag, and the woman cursed.

The scholar paused and looked at the woman, but still did nothing. He just planned to turn around and leave.

However, another young man among the three was not happy: "Fuck it! Who are you looking at? Take that thing off your head and apologize to my junior sister!"

The scholar ignored him and continued on his way.

But the young man was immediately displeased when he saw that the scholar dared to ignore him, especially in front of his junior sister. He stood up and slashed at the young man with the sword in his hand without unsheathing it.

The scholar didn't know Kung Fu, but he had practiced some boxing and kicking with his father and brother since he was a child. But even so, when he noticed the knife coming, it had already fallen.

The scholar wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't keep up with the speed.

Even though the blade was not unsheathed, there was a sword energy present in the sword, and the veil above the scholar's head was slightly broken.

Snapped!
At the critical moment, a sword hit the scabbard directly, knocking the scabbard to the other side.

He directly pulled the knife out of the young man's hand and it flew to the side.

Then the sword was seen returning.

It turned out to be Qi Sanxiao's sister, Qi Sier, who took action.

The fifth-rank swordsman, holding the sword in one hand, stared at the three people with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes: "I'm not willing to argue with you. I gave up the table and you're still aggressive. What do you think of your sword as a thing?"

It was obvious that just talking was not enough to vent her anger. Qi Sier took a step forward and quickly came to the young man. She raised her hand and slapped him directly in the face. But when she was about to slap him for the second time,
The man who was in the lead just now grabbed Qi Sier's hand and said with a cold face: "Miss, it will be difficult to resolve this matter if you fight."

Qi Si'er glanced at the man sideways, then turned the scabbard of the sword in his hand and stabbed directly at the man.

This person turned sideways.

But just when the sword in Qi Sier's hand seemed to be about to pierce the air, she twisted her hand, and the sword in her hand suddenly rotated, and then stabbed directly at the man's face from bottom to top.

The man retreated immediately.

As the man retreated, Qi Si'er's other hand was released, and she slapped the man in the face. This time, the man was slapped away. The woman at the same table saw this and immediately drew her knife and chopped Qi Si'er.

But before she could chop it down, Qi Si'er kicked the table, and the woman flew out along with the table.

Qi Si'er didn't even bother to look at him, but just glanced at the scholar. She was stunned because she could see a bit of the scholar's true face through the veil.

But Qi Si'er didn't think too much at the moment, but looked at the leader of the three people.

The man frowned and looked at Qi Si'er: "It seems that the girl is going to stand up for this scholar and become an enemy of my Axe Gang!"

Qi Si'er held the hilt of the sword with one hand, "Can you help me with the axe?"

The man frowned, but just as he was about to speak, he saw a particularly burly man appear beside him.

By the time the man realized it, it was too late and he turned his head away immediately.

What can be seen are the strong man's feet.

boom!
The sturdy man rushed out without saying a word and kicked the man away.

Qi Sier frowned: "Third Brother! I can beat him!"

The sturdy man smiled helplessly and winked, asking Qi Si'er to look at Qi Sanxiao.

Qi Si'er looked over and saw that at Qi Sanxiao's table, his brother Qi Sanxiao had a helpless look on his face, while the other two seniors were just watching the fun.

Qi Si'er glared at his brother and said nothing more. Instead, he walked up to the scholar and said, "Are you okay?"

The scholar immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady."

Qi Si'er waved his hand, but when he looked at the scholar in front of him from a close distance, he found that the scholar was more handsome than his brother. Out of curiosity, he picked up the sword in his hand and lifted the scholar's veil.

The scholar wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

However, when she lifted the veil, she was facing the direction of Jin Dajun and others.

"Oh, a man with a foxy face, how amazing!!" Jin Dajun spoke immediately.

The scholar quickly stepped back and fixed the fence.

But the others looked at the scholar and were surprised. After all, a man could be so good-looking? Just like a woman!
Qi Si'er looked at the scholar thoughtfully, then looked at his brother, and then turned back: "What's your name, Yuzhou people? Or do you want to go to Yandi?"

The scholar bowed and said, "I am Zhou Yan, a student. I am going to Yan to join the army."

When the scholar mentioned that he was going to join the army, his tone was full of pride.

However, people were not surprised by this. After all, too many scholars and martial artists had joined the army in the past few months.

Qi Si'er said, "If you can't even dodge a strike from a top-rank swordsman, what will you do if you die on the battlefield?"

The scholar was silent for a moment and then said, "It's a worthy death."

Qi Si'er sneered: "I'm afraid he'll be so scared that his legs will go limp by then!"

After saying that, Qi Si'er looked at her brother and said, "Take him back to mother and tell her that I want to marry him, but I have a gigolo."

The scholar raised his eyes and looked at Qi Si'er: "Ah?"

“Hahahahaha!” Jin Dajun immediately burst into laughter. “Madam Qi is right about raising a gigolo!”

Qing Chanzi also smiled.

The two men acted like this, and the disciples who followed them pursed their lips.

Qi Sanxiao frowned and stood up: "Nonsense!"

After saying that, he walked quickly towards Qi Sier.

Qi Si'er looked at the scholar named Zhou Yan fearlessly and said, "You will die if you go there anyway, so why not come back with me? There will be no problem with wealth and glory."

The scholar was embarrassed, but he took a step back and bowed to Qi Si'er: "Thank you for saving me just now, may I ask where you live?"

Qi Si'er replied: "Empty River Valley, Qi Si'er."

The scholar continued, "I will never forget Miss Qi's kindness, but you should look for someone else. I am going to Yan to serve the country and I will have no regrets even if I die. If you think I am going to die, you can think so."

Qi Sier frowned, this was a rejection, and immediately said: "You have read too much and become stupid, and you want to commit suicide. This girl supports you, but you still look down on me, so you..."

"Little sister!" Qi Sanxiao stepped forward and interrupted Qi Si'er's words. He even stood in front of Qi Si'er, glared at his little sister, then looked at the scholar and bowed as a scholar: "My sister is ignorant, I am sorry to make you laugh."

After the scholar returned the gift, he smiled and said, "It's me who doesn't know what's good for me."

Qi Si'er was about to speak, but Qi Sanxiao immediately looked at her, which made Qi Si'er dare not speak.

Qi Sanxiao turned around and looked at the scholar: "Young Master has lofty ambitions. Today I am paying my respects to you to wish you good luck in martial arts. This is a token from my Konghe Valley. In Yuzhou, if you hold this, some villains will not dare to provoke you."

The scholar saw the small sign that Qi Sanxiao held out, but he did not take it. Instead, he bowed to Qi Sanxiao and Qi Sier again and said, "If I come back alive tomorrow, I will definitely come to thank you for your kindness today."

After saying this, the scholar turned around and continued on his way.

Qi Si'er bit her lip and was about to speak.

Qi Sanxiao scolded in a low voice: "What did your father teach you!"

Qi Si'er didn't dare to speak immediately.

Qi Sanxiao continued, "Go back and sit down! Don't act like this anymore. If you don't like Chu Xun when you see him, just forget it. Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at me, Konghegu, by acting like this?"

Qi Si'er snorted and said no more, but glanced at the scholar in the distance and remembered this man named Zhou Yan.

Qi Sanxiao sighed, feeling helpless. His younger sister's story was far-fetched, but some things couldn't be forced.

Thinking of this, Qi Sanxiao looked up at the scholar's back, feeling a little envious and a little admiring. Regardless of whether what the scholar said was true or not, Qi Sanxiao bowed to the scholar's back.

Jin Dajun smiled and said, "If this little brother grows up like this and goes to the army, I'm afraid many girls will cry."

After that, Jin Dajun looked at Qing Chanzi and said, "Master Dao, Konghe Valley is forming an alliance with Chuhe Clan, and it looks like they are also planning to look for the Ruan Clan. If this goes through, it will truly be the largest sect in Yuzhou. Don't you have any ideas?"

Qing Chanzi said softly: "Taoists don't fight over these things."

Jin Dajun laughed, then touched his nose, looked at Qing Chanzi, and then looked at Qi Sanxiao who was walking back.

The scholar's back was lonely, but his steps were firm.

The scholar saw the veil on his head and thought about buying a new one when he went to the next town.

The scholar's name was Zhou Yan, which was actually a pseudonym. His real name was Zhou An'an.

It is true that he is going to join the army, and it is also true that he is going to die.

He felt that the men of the Zhou family should join the army.
