Kyushu Daoist Master

Yuyang City is divided into the inner city and the outer city. As the name suggests, the outer city is divided into inner and outer cities. Ordinary people live in the outer city, as well as homeless people, beggars, and slums.

But the inner city is different. Those who can live in the inner city at least have some status in Yuyang City, or are powerful and wealthy.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people in the outer city, the inner city is a rich area, where there are some wealth that they cannot enjoy.

But not many people can live in the inner city, so the inner city is naturally smaller than the outer city. In Yuyang City, the outer city occupies 70% of the area.

The entire Yuyang City is divided into four parts: east, west, south, and north. The Yang family is located in the south city. It is one of the most famous families in the south city. Most of the Yang family's industries are also in the south city.

One end of Tairong Street connects the various mansions in the rich area of ​​​​the south city, and the other end gradually appears in front of Yang Ze at this time.

The carriage drove along the bluestone street and reached the end of Tairong Street. A gray-white stone wall appeared in front of us. The tall gray stone wall stood at the end of Tairong Street and extended along the left and right sides, forming a barrier that separated the entire inner city from the outer city.

There was an exit on the gray-white stone wall, and four people were guarding the exit. These four people were sent by various families in the inner city to guard the entrance and exit.

If you want to enter the inner city, you need to check it to prevent people from mixing in, and all parties have contributed to rotate here.

With Lao Xie, the inspection is naturally nothing, and the carriage soon left Tairong Street.

Yang Ze, who was sitting in the carriage, felt the carriage shake, and then heard noisy voices on the street. He understood that it was already in the outer city.

As the carriage kept moving forward, Yang Ze could hear the noise outside getting louder and louder.

There were noisy voices, hawking, bargaining, adults' voices, and children's voices. Yang Ze's eyes had a different color at this time.

After two months in this world, he finally felt something different about the world.

The former Yang Ze had only left the inner city once many years ago, and Yang Ze could only feel the memories in his mind.

In the Yang Family Manor, although there were hundreds of people in the entire manor, the huge manor always seemed a little lifeless and lacked popularity.

Today, he finally saw the other side of this world.

After opening the curtains, Yang Ze's eyes had already extended out of the carriage. He saw the bustling streets outside, with vendors setting up stalls and shops on both sides of the street.

People came and went, some people walked into the shops, some people walked fast with horses, and more people shuttled between the small stalls to buy things.

The air in the outer city was completely different from that in the inner city. The air was filled with many smells, and Yang Ze greedily sucked several times.

He didn't expect that there was such a place in the outer city. It looked like the ancient dynasties in his hometown, but it was much better than he imagined.

"Second Young Master, how do you feel?" When Yang Ze looked around, Old Xie's voice came over.

"Not bad, it looks a lot more popular, and there's nothing wrong with it." Yang Ze's eyes just swept over a pancake stall.

"That's natural. The market here is one of the markets closest to the inner city. It is under the jurisdiction of the Xu family. Those who dare to make trouble here in Yuyang City are really blind."

Yang Ze's eyes flashed. No wonder this place looks so peaceful. It turns out that this place is under the jurisdiction of the Xu family.

Speaking of the Xu family, it is the number one family in the entire South City. Its momentum is even higher than that of the Yang family. With the name of the Xu family, it is normal that no one dares to make trouble.

South City is very big, and there are many streets like this. The big forces in South City have divided these streets. If some people want to occupy stalls and open shops in the streets, they need to obtain the consent of the big forces and pay enough silver in advance to be eligible.

And every month in the future, the big forces that control this street market will collect a certain amount of "protection fees". If someone can't pay the protection fee, then there is no need to do business here.

And this street market is very close to the inner city. Close to the inner city, there are naturally fewer people who dare to make trouble, so the profit here will definitely be more than other places, and only the Xu family can swallow it all.

However, the situation in the city is not so simple. In addition to these families, there are also gangs.

These gangs are not easy to deal with. They do all kinds of business. When they are ruthless, they will directly compete with the families in the inner city for territory. Once a fight occurs, it will not stop unless some people die.

Gangs are outside, and the noble families of Yuyang City are inside. Fights often occur, which is a major factor in the chaos of the outer city. Once a fight occurs, ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

As for the government of Yuyang City, the government can indeed be regarded as the strongest force in Yuyang City, but the combined power of so many gangs and noble families is far greater than that of the government, so the government can only occasionally do something to disrupt the situation, including secretly sharing the pie, and it cannot stop this chaos.

But the premise is that the number of masters gathered by the major forces in Yuyang City can make the government wary, otherwise the garrison of Yuyang City is enough to deal with these forces one by one.

Some of these things are in Yang Ze's memory, and some are what he studied specifically during this period. Otherwise, he really doesn't know anything.

He looked away after about a cup of tea. Compared with the bustling city scenery in his previous life, this place still seemed a lot drab, and he had no interest in continuing to look at it.

Lao Xie didn't say anything, and just drove the carriage toward the outskirts of the city.

There was silence on the road, and Yang Ze only occasionally poked his head out to take a look. He finally saw warriors other than the Yang family.

These warriors were from the martial arts world, some martial arts schools in the outer city, and other families. However, no matter who they were, their skills seemed to be very ordinary, and there was not a single warrior in the Qi-entraining realm.

He even asked Lao Xie specifically about this.

"Second Young Master, practicing martial arts is so easy. Practicing martial arts requires strong Qi and blood. The easiest way to cultivate Qi and blood is to have enough food. Many ordinary people outside have only enough food to eat. , There is no food left to eat, and if there is strong Qi and blood to practice, the state will naturally not improve. "

This was Lao Xie's explanation. When Yang Ze heard it, he thought it made sense. If practicing martial arts was really that easy, the number of Qi-entraining masters in the Yang family would have increased steadily, instead of just a few.

It seems that my status is not too bad. At least I was able to practice Qi Entrainment in my teens, which is considered to be the best in the entire Yuyang City.

However, he has only now entered the first realm of martial arts, and there is still a long way to go.

It took a full two hours for the carriage to arrive at the South City Gate. Yang Ze in the carriage felt a little bored. According to a rough calculation, he had traveled dozens of miles.

The carriage took the main entrance lane in the center of the South City Gate. When the officer guarding the city saw that it was the Yang family's carriage, he ignored it and continued chatting with the soldiers guarding the city.

"How about it, have you heard about the recent strange things?"

"What's weird? Boss, tell me quickly. We are here guarding the door every day. How can you be well-informed?"

"I don't need to tell you about this. You will know it sooner or later. I have a distant relative who lives in Qinjialing, a hundred miles away. Three days ago, he suddenly came to my house and said that there was a lack of water and a drought outside the city. Many people have died in villages hundreds of miles away."

"Here, this person is not talking nonsense. We have had a lot of rain this year, and there is a fishing river rolling outside. How can there be a drought and people die?"

"Otherwise, how could I say this is a strange thing? I wouldn't believe it if he said it alone, but the fact is that there have been a lot of people from various villages in the city recently, and they all look like they are fleeing. They were talking about a drought. All the wells in the village were dry. Some people wanted to get water from the Chuiyu River, but in the end they drowned in the Chuiyu River. Do you think this is evil? "

"Then this thing is really evil. Does the higher-ups know that this is happening below?"

"Already know, it is said that Capt. Yuan in the city took the order from the Lord of the City and led people to investigate.

During this period of time, I have been cheering up. If something really happens outside, many people will definitely rush into the city. Don’t forget that there are bandits hiding in the mountains outside. These bandits are not A fuel-efficient lamp, if we take advantage of the chaos and rush into the city, we will all be doomed. "

When the soldiers at the South City Gate were chatting, these words were overheard by Yang Ze in the carriage.

Yang Ze didn't know what this evil thing was about, so he could only ask Lao Xie, but he didn't expect that Lao Xie would seriously ask him not to ask any more questions this time, so Yang Ze stopped asking.

After reaching the official road outside the city, the carriage stopped.

"Second Young Master, don't you know where we are now?"

"According to the original plan, just look around within a thirty-mile radius."

Lao Xie immediately drove the carriage along the northwest path. Yang Ze did not dare to take too many risks. The outside of the city was not like the inside. There were wild beasts and bandits outside the city.

If we were far away from Yuyang City and reached some ravine, we wouldn't know what would happen.

It’s just that the world seems to be really uneventful. After the carriage walked along the trail for twenty miles, seventy or eighty robbers suddenly appeared on both sides of the trail and surrounded the carriage driven by Lao Xie.
