My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 165 New Wulin and Old Wulin

The off-road vehicle was parked in the parking lot of the rest area. There were not many vehicles in the parking lot at this time. There were very few people running around outside at this time of year.

Li Mubai and Shen Feng took their swords from the back seat and headed straight to the restaurant.

The black woolen windbreaker with its hem hanging down to the crook of her legs, together with her long flowing hair, fluttered lightly in the north wind.

If left to future generations, this look would be enough to cause little girls to scream while walking down the street.

But in this era, it is common for people to see them. At most, their good looks and cool temperament will make it easy for little girls to fall in love with them, but they will not scream and chase them.

Although there were not many people in the spacious restaurant, it was very noisy. Because of the dark sky, bright lights were on in the restaurant even in broad daylight.

The agents of the Golden Lion Escort Company talked loudly, and some of them deliberately opened their clothes after drinking a few glasses of wine to show that they had profound skills and were not afraid of the severe cold.

The arrival of Li Mubai and Shen Feng only made the noise pause for a few seconds.
When the gangsters saw that they were just two weak-headed young men, they went back to talking, laughing and making noise among themselves, without taking them seriously at all.

Zhuge Lei suddenly asked: "Second brother, do you still remember the day we met the 'Taihang Four Tigers' at the foot of Taihang Mountain?"

Someone beside him laughed and said, "Why don't you remember? The Four Taihang Tigers dared to touch the batch of red goods protected by Big Brother."

"The four of them showed off their power, saying that as long as the eldest brother crawls around on the ground, their brothers will immediately let us cross the mountain, otherwise they will not only keep the red goods, but also keep the eldest brother's head."

Another person immediately answered: "What happened? Before their swords could be cut off, the elder brother's sword had already pierced their throats."

The man from before said with a flattering face: "I, Zhao Laoer, are not bragging. If we talk about the strength of our palms, it must be our chief escort's 'Golden Lion Palm'."

"But when it comes to the speed of swordsmanship, except for the sword gods and the masters of swordsmanship on the martial arts evaluation list, I'm afraid no one can compare with our eldest brother."

"That is to say, our eldest brother is busy making money and has no time to challenge the masters on the martial arts evaluation list. Otherwise, there should be a place for eldest brother on this list no matter what."

More than ten years later, the martial arts evaluation list is still the most authoritative list in the Ming Dynasty martial arts, ranking only one hundred in total.

It's easy to get on the list. Challenge the people on the list and defeat them to get their ranking.

But this kind of challenge is not a private fight, but a fight first, then announced by the radio station and the Ming Dynasty Daily, and finally a martial arts competition at Renyi Villa, with people from Renyi Villa acting as notaries.

This was also the rule that Li Tianxin specifically asked Jing Wuming to set in order to prevent a large number of casualties among the upper-level warriors of the Ming Dynasty, which would lead to the decline of the martial arts community in the Ming Dynasty.

With the masters of Renyi Villa as notaries, they can call a halt directly when the battle situation shows an obvious deviation, or they can personally stop the battle to avoid casualties of the loser.

It can also provide timely treatment when injuries do occur.

The effect of this rule is obvious. For more than ten years, the martial arts evaluation list has been updated every year, but there are very few masters who have been injured or killed in the competition, so people in the martial arts have always supported this rule.

After Li Mubai and Shen Feng sat down, they couldn't help but laugh as they listened to the gangsters from the Golden Lion Escort Agency praising Zhuge Lei.

With Zhuge Lei's martial arts, he can't even be ranked in the third echelon of martial arts masters, so he has the nerve to brag about it and challenge the masters on the martial arts evaluation list.

It’s true that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys dominate.

The older generation of masters are either overseas or retreating from the world, and have not appeared in the world for a long time.

The older generation of masters who are still active in the world today are Sun Baifa, Shangguan Jinhong, and the disciples of Renyi Villa such as Guo Songyang, Hu Bugui, Ma Zhaoming, and Xu Ruoyu.

The more famous people in the world are the rising stars. Naturally, the leaders are Jing Wuming and Jinghong Fairy Yang Yan.

The second-generation heroes in Fenyang have been studying science more in these years, hoping to inherit the path of their fathers, and rarely travel in the world.

Li Mubai and Shen Feng, as the leaders of the second generation of Fenyang Xia, would come out to help if something big happens in the world and Renyi Villa is short of manpower.

After all, Jing Wuming is their senior brother, and Renyi Villa and they also belong to their own family.

The only one who is more interested in martial arts is Panda'er and Bailing's only son, Xiong Abao.

This guy had no interest in studying. He took Ma Zhaoming, Xu Ruoyu, and the sons and daughters of Renyi Villa's tenants to hang out in the arena, doing chivalry and fighting injustices.

This boy has the same moral character as his father. He started drinking at the age of ten. By the age of 17, he had mastered drunken martial arts to the point of entering a court, earning him the nickname "Little Drunken Man" in the world.

After Lin Xianer said those words, they judged that the Plum Blossom Thief might attack Lin Xianer, so they immediately took a group of friends to Taiyuan Li Garden for protection.

Of course they were not trying to catch the plum blossom thief so that they could marry Lin Xian'er, a stunning beauty.

Because they call Li Xunhuan Uncle Li, from a seniority perspective, they have to call Lin Xianer Auntie.

So they went to Li Garden purely for protection.

Lao Li, who is already in his sixties and nearly seventy, had resigned from the position of chief minister of the cabinet two years ago, and Wang took over his duties.

He only lived in Li Yuan for a year, and then because he was too lonely, he ran to Fenyang to live with Zhu Fugui.

The two old men played chess, drank tea, and tended the flowers and plants every day. Finally, they had a companion.

During the year she lived in Li Yuan, Lin Xianer was filial to Lao Li in every possible way. At the same time, she managed the huge Li Yuan in an orderly manner and maintained all kinds of connections very well.

Lao Li was very satisfied with this junior who came from a brothel, and did not look down on her because of her background. He even wanted to propose a good marriage to her, but Lin Xianer declined.

After several exchanges, Lao Li realized that this girl had already been deeply in love with his youngest son.

But she didn't want to ruin the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law, so she kept this affection deep in her heart.

She has no intention of getting married in this life, she just wants to stay in Li Garden and stay closest to Li Xunhuan.

Lao Li was moved by this deep affection, and never mentioned marriage to her again. He just trusted and loved this girl even more from then on.

This is why he can safely leave his family business to Lin Xian'er and run to Fenyang himself.

Although Da Li is married and has children, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he naturally lives in the capital and rarely returns to Taiyuan.

In this way, Lin Xianer has the final say over the entire Li Garden, acting like the mistress of the house.

……

Not long after Li Mubai and Shen Feng sat down, the waiter, who had been renamed waiter, came over with a menu and asked them respectfully: "What do you want to eat?"

As waiters in this remote rest area, most of the customers they usually receive are rough guys like this who travel around.

Therefore, they have long been accustomed to the low quality of this kind of customers and did not show any disgust.

The two casually ordered some food and drinks and sat there waiting for the food and wine to be served.

Glancing at the smug Zhuge Lei from the corner of his eye, Shen Feng laughed and shook his head, saying softly: "This madman can survive until now only because of the reputation of the Swift Wind Rider. I really don't know where he got the confidence to be so arrogant. "

Li Mubai smiled lightly, but his attention was focused on Zhuge Lei's chest, which was obviously bulging, as if something was hidden.

"He just hasn't met anyone who doesn't buy the Rapid Wind Riding Tent. Once he does...hey, maybe he will meet him today."

As he spoke, he looked toward the door. Shen Feng also sensed something and turned to look at the same time.Only two figures were seen, like snowflakes blown in by the wind, light and indifferent.

Both of them were wearing blue raincoats and wide-brimmed snow hats on their heads. The raincoats and snow hats were covered with snowflakes.

The body shapes of the two were almost exactly the same. Although the riders couldn't see their faces, their eyes were straightened when they saw their outstanding qinggong.

The restaurant finally became quiet.

The two people who walked into the restaurant slowly took off their snow hats, revealing two yellow, thin and ugly faces.

Although these two faces are extremely ugly, they are surprisingly identical. They are obviously twin brothers.

It's just that the person on the left is pale, while the person on the right is as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing these two people, Li Mubai and Shen Feng's eyes were fixed.

This is the "Blue-Blooded Twin Snakes", also known as the "Black-and-White Snakes", the underworld masters outside the customs. They are on the reward list of Renyi Villa.

A single bounty bonus is 300 taels. If you can get the heads of two brothers at once, you will be given 1000 taels at a time.

With the transformation of social forms, the government's control over the people has become stronger and stronger, and evil forces have almost no place to survive in China.

No matter how big a sect, gang, or organization you are, you must abide by the Ming Law.

Any force not recognized by the government has been purged.

Therefore, the underworld martial arts circles have left China and settled in border towns, outside the customs, outside the Great Wall, and the Western Regions where the local government has weak control.

Therefore, these places are basically chaotic and disorderly areas, and they are also the remnants of the old martial arts forest.

Since these two people dared to enter the pass, it was obvious that they came over the mountains and ridges by relying on Qinggong, not by taking the road.

Otherwise, the police stations in the towns along the way would have reported to the troops stationed nearby from the Northeast Military Region to capture them.

In today's era, the criminal department among the six departments in the magistrate's yamen is equivalent to the public security bureau of later generations, and the criminal chamber among the six offices in the magistrate's yamen is equivalent to the public security bureau of later generations.

The stations dispatched by the execution chamber to various towns and villages are called police stations. Their responsibilities are the same as those of the execution chamber. The main public servants are the arrest squad members.

The Kuaishou arrest team is further subdivided into civilian arrests, criminal arrests, and hand arrests, which are respectively responsible for civil disputes, criminal cases, and traffic order.

Although the government now has more and more control over the people, it uses a different set of laws to manage the martial arts world.

After all, this is a martial arts world where unique martial arts skills exist, so it is naturally impossible for Li Tianxin to copy the normal world.

If the management methods of the normal world were to be followed, it would be difficult for the police officers to survive, and the firearms in their hands could easily be taken away by martial arts masters.

This happened in Chenghua in the 18th year. The Yao people in Guangxi were in rebellion. Some Yao experts attacked the police station and stole twelve revolvers, six shotguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and killed 13 police officers.

Zhu Jianshen was furious and immediately ordered the Southern Military Region to carry out a bloody purge of the Yao people.

The Yao people, who originally had a population of only a few hundred thousand, were killed and only more than 2 people were left, mostly women and children. As one of the "Jiuli" branches, the Yao people were almost exterminated.

Zhu Jianshen announced to the world through the radio station that the imperial court would not tolerate any person or force who dared to challenge the majesty of the imperial court and would resolutely deal with the harshest blows.

After this incident, the martial arts world and the imperial government were, in a sense, separated again.

It's just that this time there are no two parallel lines that do not intersect. The government still maintains control over the martial arts world, but the people in the martial arts world no longer dare to reach out to the government.

However, the government did not completely suppress martial arts in martial arts, but in some aspects, the management was looser than that of civilians.

When it comes to murders among people in the martial arts world, the government implements a policy of not bringing people to justice. Even if they do, the government will hand it over to Renyi Villa for processing.

The same cannot be said for civilians. Once a murder case involving a civilian is involved, no matter whether someone reports it to the government or not, once it is discovered by the government, it will definitely be investigated to the end.

As for how to distinguish between martial arts people and civilians, it is very simple, household registration.

From birth, when a person settles down, the child will be designated as a civilian household registration or a Wulin household registration according to the requirements of his parents.

People with Wulin registered residence would fight among themselves and lose their lives. If no one reported the matter to the government, the government would not take care of it.

Relatives and friends of the deceased can avenge the deceased on their own.

If you report it to the official, Renyi Villa will come forward to seek justice.

This can be regarded as a kind of Jianghu affair.

But once a case involves people with civilian registered residence, whether it is a martial artist who kills a civilian, or a civilian who kills a martial artist, the government will directly intervene and investigate and deal with the case in accordance with the law.

This is a special social system formed under the guidance of Li Tianxin.

Because he has never changed his original intention, he wants to develop technology, and he also wants to preserve martial arts, and the two lines go hand in hand.

If things continue like this, his dream of performing martial arts in a Gundam may not be impossible to realize.

Therefore, today's Ming Dynasty Wulin can be called the "new Wulin", while places outside the Great Wall and other places belong to the "old Wulin".

The forces of these local governments did not intervene, and they still followed the natural law of the weak and the strong, and the strong being respected.

……

There was silence in the restaurant. Although Zhuge Lei wanted to pretend not to see these two people, he really couldn't.

Because after the two of them took off their snow hats and raincoats, they walked straight to him and stared at him.

Zhuge Lei's cheeks twitched, he slowly stood up, and said with a forced smile: "Two distinguished people? I'm sorry for my poor eyesight..."

White Snake interrupted him directly: "Are you the 'Rapid Sword' Zhuge Lei?"

His voice was sharp, rapid, and constantly trembling, like the sound of a rattlesnake. Zhuge Lei felt the hair on his body stand up when he heard it, and said: "No... I don't dare."

Black Snake sneered: "Only you deserve to be called the Rapid Wind Sword, calling yourself the representative of the Rapid Wind Cavalry?"

White Snake continued: "If the Swift Wind Riders are all like you, I really doubt how the Happy King was able to dominate an era."

Black Snake said: "I see you are at the bottom of the pack in the Gale Rider, right?"

After saying this, Zhuge Lei's face turned blue and white, Black Snake's hand shook, and a dark, slender soft sword suddenly appeared in his palm.

With another tremor, the belt-like soft sword collapsed straight, obviously filled with true energy.

He pointed the sword at Zhuge Lei and said coldly: "Keep the bag of things you brought back from outside the pass and I will spare your life."
