"Here at Haiyunkou, it's only three days away from Shendu. My brother made the right decision, and I didn't see them along the way." Talking about the situation in front of him, Wu Zhao was in a good mood.

Along the way, she became more and more dependent on Xue Qianye.She always felt that if it was herself, she might have been caught by now.But under Xue Qianye's guidance, she didn't even see the other party's shadow.

"It will be too late when we find out. Don't be careless, Qingzhao. At this time, we must be more careful. In case the other party is really what I said, guarding the road leading to the capital of God. We can only Wait indefinitely."

This is the worst case scenario.If this is the case, then we can only find a way to let the emperor know where they are, and then send reliable people over.They don't know who is reliable, but the emperor should know.Otherwise, he might not be able to be the emperor.

"It's not certain, brother. Father should have noticed that I'm missing by now. He will definitely send people out to look for me, if he can find them." During the words, Wu Zhao and Xue Qianye obviously thought of the same thing.

"Let's not say that this search for someone may be done secretly. We don't know who the other party is at all. Even if we know, we are not sure whether the other party is someone we can trust."

"It's true, but, brother, if this continues, I won't know who can believe it."

"Even if you don't believe anyone, it's better than trusting others easily and then being killed. At present, I don't know what happened to you. But since the other party dared to do something, they must have a huge plan, and you, It is a part of this plan. You have no idea how far a person who has the ability to arrange this kind of plan can extend his hand." Xue Qianye calmly analyzed the current situation.

At present, the information obtained is too little, and I have no idea what the other party wants to do.But one thing is certain, the assassination of the princess should be just the beginning, and the opponent is playing a big game.And they are just pawns in the corner of this game.

What they want to do with the death of the princess is not clear to them, the only thing they know is.These guys should belong to a huge organization group, so big that I dare not even think about it.I learned from Wu Zhao that although Youyinglou is a sect of the devil way, they never dare to play like this because there are people behind them.

"Doesn't anyone believe it?"

"No, there is one person who can be trusted in the immediate situation."

"who?"

"Strangers who don't know our identities. Just because they don't know our identities, they won't know what happened to us. As long as we establish a relationship with them and there is no conflict of interest, we can get theirs to a certain extent." Help." Xue Qianye said calmly.

Xue Qianye suddenly had an idea based on what happened to the Li family.If the other party doesn't know the identity of his side, and his side can take the initiative to show his favor, then maybe he can get their help.Follow this line of thought, and you will discover new directions.

"There are many strangers, but there are not many strangers who can send us back."

"That's why I have to find a way to find it! The most ideal way now is to mix with a brigade going to God's Capital, and return to God's Capital with them as ordinary people. But it may be a bit difficult."

In fact, if there is a brigade going to God City in a group at present, it might be a good choice for them to mix in it.But unfortunately it seems not.And those who went to the capital in an organized way would not believe outsiders like themselves.They are also afraid that something is wrong with them.

So this new direction is somewhat difficult.In the end, maybe I have to walk slowly by myself.

"We don't trust them, and they won't trust us."

"Well, that's why it's difficult. You rest first, I'm going out to inquire about the latest information. If there are many accidents on the road leading to Shendu recently, we can't move forward."

"Brother, go. I will obediently wait for my brother to come back."

Waving his hand, Wu Zhao bid farewell to Xue Qianye.She was the only one left in the room at this time.

Chapter 16

On the streets of the city, Xue Qianye was inquiring about some things in the name of shopping.Because he is not a professional intelligence agent and has no intelligence network, what he inquires about is not important news.However, Xue Qianye wasn't going to inquire about any important information. What he wanted to know most at the moment was whether there were suddenly more bandits around, or people missing.

If there is, it means that the other party may be hunting and killing possible targets in this name.

Fortunately, no relevant news has been heard so far, which also means that we can continue to move forward tomorrow.Just as Xue Qianye was thinking about whether to continue asking for more, an unexpected scene came from a distant street.

A carriage was speeding past on the main road, and the pedestrians around were startled and ran away quickly.

"Go away! Young Master Li is going out, get the hell out of here!" The coachman on the carriage yelled very arrogantly.

The crowd around quickly turned into birds and beasts, but not everyone would go away. A frightened little girl forgot to run away. She held a bunch of candied haws and was frightened in place, staring blankly at what was about to happen. everything.

Just when the passers-by thought that the little girl would be hit by the carriage, a force came from the air and knocked the horse in front of the carriage away.The carriage hit the doorpost next to it and was forcibly stopped.

Amidst the surprise of the crowd, a pure white figure stepped out.The woman has long snow-white hair and a light blue dress, as long as she sees it, it seems that her soul will be captured.But her beauty is not deliberately charming, but as flawless as snow.

Her name is Xue Qingcheng, a member of the Confucian school Jixia Xuehai in the capital of gods.

Xue Qingcheng came to the little girl, comforted her and told her to leave quickly.There are also four young Confucian scholars beside her, three men and one woman are her senior brothers and sisters.

"Junior Sister Xue, are you okay!" The male student named Qi Yunfei came out first and asked concerned.

"It's okay." Xue Qingcheng nodded lightly.

At this time, the master in the carriage finally recovered from the dizziness of being hit.

"Bold! Who is it! Who dares to bump into my carriage, don't you want to live? My father is Sun Xiang, and you don't even inquire about it. In this Haiyun mouth, the uncle and I... yo! Little beauties! There are still two." A young man who seemed to be too indulgent came out. When he saw Xue Qingcheng and her junior sister Xu Ningxiang, his original angry expression changed instantly.

This Mr. Sun Peng is the eldest son of the Sun family, one of the two major families in Haiyunkou.

"It's over, no one can escape the girl who was favored by Young Master Sun."

"Oh! Such a good girl will be..."

"Let no one take care of it."

"This is Haiyunkou, who dares to control the Sun family."

"That's right, I heard that the father-in-law of the Sun family is a high-ranking official in the court, otherwise why do you think he dares to be so crazy."

……

Occasionally hearing some rumors, Xue Qianye almost knew something about it.To put it simply, this Young Master Sun is a local snake, and he usually likes to do bad things like robbing women.But because the family here is very powerful, other people just dare not speak out.

Just as Xue Qianye was thinking for a moment, Young Master Sun spoke again.

"Two little beauties, my lord has a lot of things that I don't want to worry about with you. I will go back with you to be my concubine. I promise that you will enjoy the glory and wealth in the future. Come and bring the two beauties back." During the speech, Young Master Sun couldn't wait to snatch him back and give him a shot.

"Wood and lust." Xue Qingcheng calmly spit out her own evaluation.She didn't even want to take a second look at this kind of son.

Just as a group of younger brothers from the Sun family surrounded them, Qi Yunfei, who was the flower protector, stepped forward directly.

"Sexy and bold. Do you know who the person standing in front of you is?" Qi Yunfei burst out with a heavenly aura, intending to give the person in front of him a blow.Also express yourself.

However, at this time, a Chinese character face of more than 30 years emerged from the Sun family crowd.

"No matter who it is, if you hurt the young master at Haiyun's mouth, you must give the Sun family an explanation." Sun Qiu, with a square face, stood with his hands behind his back, with a profound and heavenly aura, quite a masterful demeanor.

However, this master's demeanor only lasted for less than a moment, because...

"Explain, I haven't asked your Sun family to give an explanation. Have you seen this? You still want to explain." Qi Yunfei took out an antique token and displayed it in front of Sun Qiu.

"Hmm! Jixia Xuehai." After Sun Qiu saw it, he immediately felt that he had kicked the iron board.

"It's good to know. Junior sister is the direct disciple of the head of Xianmen. We didn't pursue your molestation, and you still dare to ask us for an explanation. Is this explanation enough?" Qi Yunfei said with a proud face after putting away the token.

"Master Xianmen, the personal disciple of the Great Master Qin Dujue!" This time, Sun Qiu's face became even more ugly.

Jixia Xuehai is divided into four disciplines, sword, book, chess and string.The masters of each sect are great masters, and the master of the sea of ​​learning who is above the four is said to have unfathomable skills.Even if the identity of the other party is a prince or nobleman, they have to be courteous when they meet, let alone small local forces like them.

"Jixia Xuehai has several string gates." Qi Yunfei pretended to be successful, and was secretly pleased.

On the other hand, Young Master Sun didn't understand what they were saying, and his opponent who felt good about himself said.

"Sun Qiu, what are you fussing about? Hurry up and arrest him. If you are a step too late and let the little beauty run away, I will ask you, Master."

"Master, the other party is from Jixia Xuehai."

Sun Qiu wanted to remind his young master.Then, he understood the extent of his young master's ignorance.

"I don't care who he is? Is Jixia Xuehai very good? There is my grandfather." Young Master Sun yelled directly.

how to say.Seeing this young master like this, Sun Qiu really wanted to speak directly.Compared with the whole school, your grandfather is really nothing, even if it is only compared to one of them.But thinking about the personality of this young man, he decided not to speak.Regardless of what happened, this guy may not necessarily understand.

"Several, I offended you just now. Please forgive me, why don't you go to the Sun Mansion, and I will ask the master for instructions."

Faced with Sun Qiu's apology, Qi Yunfei directly forgave them.

"No need, we will return to God City soon. I don't have time to waste here with you. The next time you look for trouble, see who you are."

"I will take my leave." After receiving the response, Sun Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.He gave the order directly.

"Come here, take the young master back."

The others looked at it and finally listened to Sun Qiu's words.They directly picked up the young master and prepared to take him back.Now they, too, find themselves seeming to piss off a lot of people.

"What are you doing, Sun Qiu. Don't you dare not listen to me? Do you want to rebel? I want to destroy your three clans." The young master who was held up struggled desperately and shouted.

His words made Sun Qiu want to slap the idiot in front of him to death, rebel!Destroy the three clans!Can these words be said casually?If a caring person reported this to the emperor, he would die in rows as long as he said a word.

"Master, this kind of talk is not nonsense."

"What are you afraid of, I am the sky here, sir, who dares to touch me."

"Take the young master back!"

Afraid that this idiot would continue to say something more serious, Sun Qiu directly ordered.

Chapter 17 Strange World

The farce ended temporarily like this, Xue Qianye watched all this quietly, her heart was not fluctuating, and she even wanted to laugh.Xue Qianye was rather curious about how this guy survived till now.However, thanks to this guy, I also heard some interesting things.

Afterwards, Xue Qianye went on to other places and even bought a map.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he sorted out the information he had collected and returned to the inn.

The moment Xue Qianye opened the door, what Xue Qianye saw was Wu Zhao who was reading a book of poetry.Although she was curious about why she suddenly became interested in reading, Xue Qianye didn't think too much about it.After Wu Zhao's questioning, Xue Qianye shared the information he had collected.During the period, I also talked about the farce I saw on the road.

"Brother, do you think it's strange, that Young Master Sun looks like?" Wu Zhao put away the book, sat next to Xue Qianye, and asked.

She looked very happy, because she finally discovered something that she knew but Xue Qianye didn't.This sense of superiority in IQ made her very happy.

"Yeah. How can I say that the Sun family is also a well-known family here. I still can't understand how they raised such an idiot." Xue Qianye was still puzzled by this.

Although there must be so-called playboys in big families, but because they enjoy many conditions that other people cannot touch, even if those people have mediocre talents, they will achieve higher achievements than ordinary people if they don't work hard.Because their starting point was different from the beginning.

Therefore, in the real big clan, it cannot be said that there is no such kind of dandy, and there should be not many of them.But today's discovery made Xuexue Qianye feel like she came to the wrong world.

"It's not just idiots, it's actually arrogance. In the year of Xi'an, Taizu relied on his family to create the Yuntang lineage in the troubled times. Today, it is normal for the family to become arrogant. Especially the local family, even if Yun The imperial examination system was established in the Tang Dynasty, but the knowledge of writing was controlled by the world. Even the royal family was helpless. Many generations of kings tried their best to solve this situation. So it is not an idiot, but the family has nothing to fear. Facing this kind of world, ordinary people only have three A choice." Wu Zhao calmly said what he knew.This is also the reason why the family became like this.

"So that's how it is. If you join the family, you're joining the family. Naturally, you won't fight against the family. If you don't join the family, it's hard to get a way to rise, and naturally you don't have the ability to fight against the family." Speaking of this, Xue Qianye On the contrary, he somewhat understood the current situation.

It turned out that it was not an idiot, but a lack of natural enemies, so it was too comfortable to live.If you think carefully about the so-called aristocratic families in history, the situation seems to be similar.The most obvious is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the emperor directly criticized most of the gentry as rebellious parties in order to attack the power of the aristocratic family.

That's why there was the subsequent Yellow Turban Rebellion.Given the situation at the time, if no one saw through Zhang Jiao's ambitions, I would never believe it.It is even possible that Zhang Jiao was also secretly cultivated by the gentry.The purpose is to regain his own power. Once the world is in chaos, the emperor can only rely on the gentry to clean up the mess.

Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, this point did not change until the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later.

"Does brother know the third way?" Wu Zhao continued to ask with a smile.

"Sect?"

"It is the Zongmen Hundred Schools. But this road may be more difficult sometimes. Although the Hundred Schools exist, their glory has long since disappeared. 500 years ago, Confucianism was divided into two under the calculation of the Xun Family. They went to the two countries separately. , although there is a trend of ZTE in front of us, it is still feared by the aristocratic family. The Taoist school was divided into three because of the civil war, and the person who provoked the civil war was the Wang family of Dinghan. The Mohist family was provoked to fight against the military strategists, and was finally defeated and forced out of Changqin. In the millennium, the Hundred Families have already been divided by the big families. It is a pity that if the modern aristocratic families have not started civil strife, they must have absorbed the power of the Hundred Families and used them for their own use."

Different from the previous world, this world has martial arts.Baijia is still alive relying on the power of the sect.The hundred families are different from the aristocratic families. If the aristocratic families rely on blood to form a huge force, then the hundred families rely on sects to bring together different people to form a force.

The former Baijia's calculations in the aristocratic clan almost disappeared completely, but afterwards, civil strife occurred within the aristocratic clans of various countries due to the problem of dividing internal organs, which gave the Baijia a chance to breathe.But even so, the power of the clan combined is far greater than the current sect.Especially the aristocratic clan will send their own children to the sect to influence the sect.

"Is there still such a legend?" Xue Qianye murmured, having a general understanding of the situation in this world for the first time.

If there is no accident, it is only a matter of time before the sect disappears, or it can be said that it becomes a family.Thinking of this, Xue Qianye couldn't help but start to sympathize with the royal family of this world.Theoretically speaking, the royal family is also one of the aristocratic families, and it is also the largest aristocratic family.But the difference is that the royal family needs to guard against the aristocratic families below from seizing power at any time.

Therefore, although the royal family is also a family, they cannot rely on the family.Because that is tantamount to surrendering your lifeline to others.

Therefore, as an aristocratic family, they stood together with Baijia.In addition to the orthodox sects, with the current situation, the royal family hopes that there will be as many of them as possible.Only in this way can there be a conflict with the family.

The rise of Baijia may not have been fueled secretly by the royal family.

That's how it was, and the basic structure of this strange world became clear when I thought about it this way.In this world of warriors who can stand alone as a thousand, the possibility of rebellion is even greater.The emperor may not use hands, but he cannot know martial arts.

"That's right. The aristocratic families are running rampant not because of idiots, but because they have no worries. Ordinary people can't even learn to read, let alone practice martial arts. At this time, how many people can stop them from using exercises as bait?" It’s okay. So my brother shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m surprised by his reaction.” While speaking, Wu Zhao looked at Xue Qianye curiously.

For ordinary people, one of the biggest problems in spiritual practice is also the first step to be able to read and write.And this is precisely the most difficult step. Most of the sects will not accept unknown disciples, so the situation will return to the hands of the aristocratic family.After all, handwritten books in this world are still quite expensive.

Thinking of this, Xue Qianye is not too surprised that Wu Zhao was assassinated.If it was in the previous life, if you dared to kill the princess in peacetime, you would be courting death, but in this world.Well... All I can say is, my lord, times have changed.

"Strange my reaction?" Xue Qianye looked at Wu Zhao, not understanding what was strange about him.

"Obviously my brother is very smart in some aspects, but he can't see things that can be understood at a glance. Could it be that my brother has been practicing in the deep mountains and old forests before?" Wu Zhao said with a smile.

"What do you say?"

"Is that really the case?"

"Yes. However, Qingzhao is really smart, although I don't know if what you just said is really something that can be seen through at a glance. But at least I can't see it." Xue Qianye said her sincerity talk.

Compared to Wu Zhao in front of him, that Young Master Sun just now, Xue Qianye no longer thinks about him.

"What my brother lacks is a platform. Only by standing on a high place can we see the whole situation." Wu Zhao continued.

"If you climb up and look at it, you will see greatness."

"Hey! Does my brother regard me as a sister?"

In response to Wu Zhao's teasing, Xue Qianye flicked her forehead.

"Kids, don't think so much."

Chapter 18

The next day, after preparing dry food, Xue Qianye took Wu Zhao on the road early.According to the news obtained yesterday, the next town will take a day's journey, and the sky is gradually getting dark. Xue Qianye found the hotel marked on the previous map.

Although it is a bit weird to say that a hotel in the wilderness here, it can even be said to have the feeling of a horror story.But according to the person who sold the map, this is a place where pedestrians often stop.The shopkeeper also saw this point before opening a shop here.
