Chapter 24 Fucheng

Lou Yue waved his hand and asked the attendants behind him to go to rescue the victims first.

"Martial man Lu Yuan, I have met the city lord." Lu Yuan bowed his hand.

In this world where warriors are rampant, surrendering to bureaucrats is considered polite.

Lu Yuan looked at the City Lord Lou curiously.

There are not many rumors about him in the city.

Most people have the impression that they are idle officials. Local people don't take it seriously to officials like this who leave after just a few years of service.

"My little brother is from Changfeng Martial Arts School."

Lou Yue asked him to help, without any airs of a city lord, and the victims around him were also very grateful to him.

Lu Yuan is wearing the clothes of Changfeng Martial Arts School, and you can tell at a glance.

Lu Yuan nodded. He didn't want to talk to him anymore. Even if he was an official, he was still a big shot to him, so it would be better to involve him less.

But Lou Yue did not let him go.

"People's livelihood is so difficult." He looked at Lu Yuan, "I would also like to thank you several major martial arts schools for your help."

Lu Yuan felt strange. The city owner looked like a courteous corporal. Could it be that he wanted to win over the martial arts school and extend his hands and feet to take charge of things?

"City Lord, you're welcome. Master Qi has a warm heart and cares about the people. Naturally, he won't stand idly by!" Lu Yuan faced south and cupped his hands, full of admiration.

The implication is that if you have something to say to the owner, he is just a worker and doesn't understand anything.

Lou Yue nodded and said nothing more.

He only asked Lu Yuan to help keep things in order, then turned and left.

Lu Yuan was bored. Occasionally, there would be fights for food or molestation of women's family members, but the city guards would deal with it. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Lou Yue.

He took some bread in his arms, called some refugees, and asked for some news.

Now the bandit-suppressing infantry swept all the way, destroying many groups of Black Wind thieves who came out to plunder, forcing them to fully shrink.

Taking advantage of the victory, the city guards pursued and reached Heifeng Mountain Stronghold, where they set up camp and surrounded the area.

There was a battle on the third or fifth day, and small groups of warriors and elites roamed the battlefield, cutting down flags, killing generals, and invading the camps.

I don’t know if there is a stalemate or if there is some plan. Anyway, the confrontation has been going on for several days.

They also asked emphatically about the Black Wind bandits massacring people, and most of them said that it was true.

As for the blood sacrifice practice, the victims all looked at each other and said they didn't know. Only three or five people swore by it, but they couldn't tell the details.

"If I looked so carefully, would I still be able to escape?"

Several people were very dissatisfied with Lu Yuan's frequent questioning and holding on to the cake without giving it to them, and asked in anger.

Lu Yuan was helpless, this was a lie to him.

But he didn't take it seriously and distributed all the food in his arms to everyone.

In the next two or three days, Lu Yuan was captured by Yue Wei to help.

Occasionally, the city lord can be seen walking among the victims, distributing clothes and comforting them.

I sighed in my heart, this person is still more like a person than those aristocratic families.

I heard that those companies were very poor and would occasionally beat the city owner and set up obstacles for him to appease the victims.

Alas, as the person said, people's livelihood is very difficult.

If you can suppress one party, you may be able to support him in letting go.

As for now, of course it's better to be alone.

I just hope that the banditry problem can be sorted out as soon as possible, and these refugees can be resettled, so as not to delay the spring plowing.

……

Two more days passed.

Lu Yuan felt that his injury was almost healed, so he pushed forward Yue Wei's instructions and prepared to go to Fucheng.

The route guide and trip notes had been prepared earlier.

After giving instructions to Lu Jing.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan boarded the ship to Fucheng.

This trip has two purposes, one is to maintain health, and the other is to inquire about many martial arts news.

This time, there were no accidents. I passed the card smoothly and left Black Mountain City.

This canal was dug by the previous dynasty and spans three thousand miles. It has been more than three hundred years old now.

It is the main waterway in Dachen, and at the same time, it is also the main artery of the entire Hengshan County.

In the past two years, there have been sporadic water bandits, but Fucheng mobilized troops to suppress them with thunderous force, ensuring the smooth flow of the canal.

The speed of sailing in this world is not slow, it can travel sixty miles in one hour.

Heishan City is four hundred miles away from Fucheng. You can reach Fucheng in seven hours, starting in the morning and arriving in the evening.

Lu Yuan got tired of seeing the mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and went back to his room to rest until the afternoon. He couldn't help but get out of bed and go to the bow of the ship to take a look until there was shouting and noise outside.

So bloody? You won't encounter water thieves when you go out?

I was wondering, and when I walked to the deck, a group of people gathered on the deck, cheering and cheering.

He followed everyone's gaze and looked over.

On the long river in front of them, two figures stood on the waves, one holding a sword and the other holding a gun.

Both sides come and go, dazzled.

Lu Yuan couldn't even keep up with the movements of these two people with his eyes!

The two men's swords clashed with their spears, the sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, and a column of water exploded from the water.

"Okay!" Everyone on the boat cheered again!

Lu Yuan couldn't help but rub the excited old man next to him.

"I think everyone knows these two?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.

The old man glanced at him with disdain, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.

"You don't recognize this? Look at this costume. The sword-holder is a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, the great sect of Hengshan County." The old man's nostrils were pointing upward.

Lu Yuanyuan and the others only introduced one person, so he held on to the topic and stopped talking. I felt so happy that I didn't ask any more questions.

He turned his head and looked at it with relish.

"Hmph!" The old man's chest was tight and he couldn't help but show off, "The one with the gun is even more powerful!"

"This man was originally recruited as a son-in-law by the daughter of the prince. He suddenly had a sudden enlightenment a year ago. Now he has achieved great success. He is a talented young man with great potential!"

Ok?

Such a familiar feeling.

This son...

That's right.

"What is the list of people?" Lu Yuan grasped the key words.

"Humph." The old man was about to reply when the battle on the water became intense.

I couldn't help but stare at it, and for a moment I forgot to speak.

Lu Yuan also watched the two people fighting, and his mind was shaken.

The two men's moves were exquisite, their energy and blood were strong, and they exploded with great force, causing roars and echoes on both sides of the river. No matter the sword or the gun, they are all natural and have an indescribable charm.

Judging from the fact that he is only about twenty years old, he has already achieved great success in Ming Jin. In comparison, every Ming Jin in Black Mountain City is like a dog.

Moreover, walking on the waves is not only possible with strength, but also with the seeds of true energy.

With this kind of background, all the Ming Jin in Black Mountain City wouldn't be enough for any one person to fight.

Is this the strength of the new map? It's so terrifying.

Everyone on the boat was fascinated.

In a few breaths, the two men rushed from one side of the canal to the other and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I don't know the outcome." Lu Yuan touched his chin.

It's a pity that my eyes can't keep up with the speed of these two people, so I can't see why. Otherwise, I can see how far behind such geniuses I am.

However, according to his inherent understanding, this kind of son-in-law's transformation is often a great opportunity, and his stamina cannot be underestimated. I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up in a short time.

As expected, martial arts flourished in Fucheng, and Lu Yuan was satisfied.

……

After this episode, everything was calm and the ship arrived at Fucheng without incident.

Lu Yuan rubbed his brows and followed the passengers off the boat.

This was the first time he took a boat in the world, and the boat-building technology was too rough, which made him feel seasick.

Fucheng has a large population and a vast area. Yong'anfang alone, where the dock is located, is as big as several Black Mountain cities. There are as many as seven such workshops.

It was now night, and Lu Yuan left the pier, preparing to find a place to stay and collect health-preserving skills tomorrow.

He now has three gold leaves and about ten taels of broken silver, and he doesn't know if they are enough to buy the six health-preserving exercises.

If there is something that cannot be spread, I have to find another way.

The time this time is limited, I can only stay for three to five days at most before returning to Black Mountain City, and I can’t drop my assignment for sitting in the hotel next month.

You can't lose your serious way of living, and you can't make money by touching corpses.

Life in Fucheng is stable and popular. Even at night, people are still coming and going on the streets, and the sounds of warblers and swallows can be heard from time to time from the beautiful buildings on both sides.

"Hmph! Immoral!" Lu Yuan glanced at him reluctantly and left quickly.

I found an inn nearby.

"Waiter! Stay at the hotel!"
