In the world of Swordsman, after experiencing many twists and turns, Chen Hai finally arrived at his destination, Guangyang Prefecture.
The rows of guards at the gate proved that this big city was now in a special state. After submitting his pass and undergoing a comprehensive inspection, Chen Hai entered the country smoothly, while civilians who arrived earlier than him were still undergoing quarantine inspection, and some people who did not bring all the documents were not allowed to enter.
At this moment, the old saying really came true: it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. I believe that not many people can have the seals of all the important leaders of a county on their pass. In addition to the letter of recommendation from Zhuifeng, the gatekeeper at Guangyang Prefecture still has to give him some face.
After entering, Chen Hai did not delay for a second and went directly to the Six Gates branch according to the guard's instructions.
"Chen Hai?" After the announcement, a man with a long sword slung across his waist came up to Chen Hai.
"It's me. May I ask, brother, is Lord Zhuifeng here?" Chen Hai asked with a fist clasped.
"Zhuifeng hasn't come back yet, so just follow my arrangements during this period. My name is Hong Yi." Hong Yi said as he led Chen Hai inside.
"Although I have Zhuifeng's recommendation letter, I still need to make some things clear to you. Since you are not a brother of the Six Gates, your range of activities is limited to the first three courtyards. Please do not rashly enter the places behind to avoid hurting the relationship."
"I understand." Chen Hai nodded.
"Well, the recommendation letter said that you want to learn martial arts. The teachers in the third college will be enough to help you lay a foundation. As for more advanced martial arts, you have to wait for Zhuifeng to come back." Hong Yi said as he took Chen Hai to each courtyard and introduced him to the teachers here.
Most of the students in the first three academies are young children. They are the reserve forces of the Six Gates, and their instructors are people who have retired from the front line due to injuries and age, and can be considered experienced veterans.
In addition to martial arts, the courses here also include many things related to tracking, capturing, and judging cases, but Chen Hai certainly won't be able to access these.
Relying on Zhuifeng's face, the teachers in the courtyard were relatively polite to Chen Hai, but they were just polite. Any normal person could feel the alienation.
This is normal. After all, Chen Hai came in later, and he will most likely not become a constable in the future, so naturally he will not be included in the category of colleagues.
Then everyone should just get along normally, there is no need to maintain any emotional connection.
After arranging accommodation for Chen Hai, Hong Yi took out another sign and handed it to him, "This sign allows you to pass through the front three courtyards, but the time is limited to 9 am to 6 pm. It is forbidden to enter here at other times. I have taken you to the cafeteria, where you need to pay the normal fee. Of course, you can choose not to eat there. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Chen Hai took the sign and shook his head. After being led by Hong Yi, he basically understood his current status. In school, he was an auditor and was not bound by any rules. Of course, there would be no special person to teach him.
However, what is better than ordinary auditors is that Chen Hai at least does not have to pay for his room himself. There are quite a lot of empty rooms at Liushenmen, so there is no problem in giving Chen Hai one.
After leaving the yard, a figure jumped from outside the courtyard wall to Hong Yi's side.
"Sir, we have thoroughly investigated this person's identity and he has no criminal record, and the recommendation is genuine."
"I understand. You continue to send people to keep an eye on him. Don't let up until Zhuifeng comes back. Understand?"
"clear!"
The first impression Chen Hai left on Hong Yi was okay. Of course, this impression was not about his personality or anything like that, but that he did not look like one of those rebel members who appeared out of nowhere.
In the past, people who had Zhuifeng's endorsement would not have been restricted to the first three courtyards. Unfortunately, there have been too many facts recently, and the Six Gates are also tight both inside and outside. In addition, many spies have been found out recently. These spies are extremely loyal, and after being discovered, they were subjected to a whole set of moves, but no one said anything.
Hong Yi can only hand them over to his superiors now. They are all intelligence personnel, so he naturally knows that after passing a few levels, those who should not say anything will really not say anything.
He walked along the path to his office, where someone was already waiting for him.
"Sir, the reply from Xia Guo Ju and the letter from Lord Lan Xin."
After taking the letter and checking the sealing wax, Hong Yi opened it and began to read. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.
During this period, the higher-ups ordered to reduce the tracking and case-solving courses for all members and to strengthen the frontal attack courses. This made Hong Yi very puzzled. We are the Six Gates, not the army. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to do these things? So he wrote a letter to Guo Juxia to express his opinion.
In his reply, Guo Juxia mentioned that this was a critical moment for survival and the Six Gates had to be adjusted as needed. There was no other reason. If Hong Yi wanted to know the cause and effect, he could go directly to the capital to see him.
"Sir, does Xia Guo still disagree?"
Hong Yi shook his head and said, "Continue to arrange the courses according to the instructions above, and we will see what else happens later."
"yes!"
After the messenger left, Hong Yi slammed the table a little angrily. In his opinion, the dream was indeed important, but it was not necessary to react to such a big extent. It would take a long time for so many reservists to be deployed, and the manpower problem was very serious now!
However, he also knew that the confrontation was currently intense, so he naturally did not want to trip up Guo Juxia.
After drinking the tea on the table in one gulp, Hong Yi sat back in his seat and opened the letter from Lan Xin.
Lan Xin is the head of the six gates of another Taoist temple, and is also his second sister, and more likely to be his wife in the future.
In the letter, Lan Xin described the situation on her side. First of all, like Hong Yi's side, the courses of all reserve detectives were adjusted, and some spies from the rebels were also discovered, some of whom had even been in the Six Gates for several years.
After these spies were discovered, they all had one thing in common, that is, their childhood resumes were all fake, and they were particularly fake, and they were exposed once they were investigated. The fakeness was not in the fact that such a person did not exist, but in that during questioning they did not look like people who had a childhood.
"Yi, the other five people also sent me letters. The situation over there is slightly better, but the problems involved are also quite serious. It looks like the world is going to be in chaos again. I think we should find an opportunity to meet and discuss things as soon as possible." Lan Xin said at the end of the letter.
Hong Yi shook his head. He also wanted to meet his brothers, but the seven of them belonged to six sects in seven different prefectures. It would be a big problem if all of them were withdrawn.
But in the current situation, it is difficult to align everyone's pace without meeting each other. You know, the Seven Swords are the strongest only when they are together.
After thinking for a long time, Hong Yi picked up his pen and wrote a reply. In the letter, Hong Yi set the time for the seven of them to meet in three months, and the location would be in the capital. Anyway, it was time for the biennial job review, and only the seven chief officers could go for the review this time, so that they could meet.
At this time, in Qixia Mountain, Zhuifeng was running in the woods. The bloodstains and tattered clothes on his body proved that he was not rushing but escaping.
Boom! A huge blade of energy came down from above, and all obstacles in its path were cut in half.
Zhuifeng sensed the sharp edge behind him, activated his internal energy, lifted his whole body upwards, and dodged the knife with a horizontal movement. However, the scattered knife energy also tore his flesh open.
This time the investigation hit a nail on the head. The rebels in Qixia Mountain were not at all as mentioned in the intelligence. Zhuifeng just took a quick look around and found that the number of rebels here was definitely more than three thousand.
Moreover, when he was about to collect further information, he was discovered. This was the first time in history. In his concept, the rebels were a little stupid. Not to mention discovering him, even many ordinary detectives could collect information safely as long as they were careful.
It would have been fine if he was discovered, but just as Zhuifeng was evacuating, a burly man walked out of the rebel camp and stabbed him without saying a word.
I don't know what kind of fighting method it was, but the sword became bigger and bigger after it was swung, and its length actually reached about forty or fifty meters. Moreover, the fiery aura contained in the sword style was also quite terrifying.
It was that Zhuifeng's lightness skill was quite good, otherwise he would have been beheaded with one blow. However, his lightness skill was quite good, and the opponent's speed was also not to be underestimated, especially in this extremely familiar place, the distance between the two of them could not be widened.
Another five minutes passed in this pursuit.
Estimating the distance in his mind, and also estimating the amount of sword energy emitted by the opponent, Zhuifeng thought that the opponent should have left the range of the combat method, and that the physical strength and energy consumed by so many sword energies should not be low.
Seeing how brave the enemy is, he must be the general of this group of rebels. If we can capture him, we can reduce the losses in the suppression and obtain more information about the rebels.
Judging people, the Six Gates are professionals, if their colleagues can't do it, can't laymen do it
Thinking of this, Zhuifeng turned around, twisted his wrist in the air, and used the third move of Jingtao Palm - the turbulent sea!
Small drops of water gathered in Zhuifeng's palm, condensed into sharp ice flakes and shot out quickly.
The pursuer turned the blade in his hand, and the fierce blade energy directly evaporated the ice flakes, causing them to dissipate into the air.
Taking advantage of the opponent's pause, Zhuifeng tapped the ground three or four times with his toes and quickly rushed to the person's side.
The waves roar in the sky!
Both palms turned into phantoms, and in an instant, nine palm prints were left on the man's body. The internal force contained in the palm prints penetrated into the man's body, in order to block his meridians.
"Ha!" The man let out a light chuckle, and a blazing flame surged out of his body, forcing out all the internal force that had been injected into him, and at the same time forced Zhuifeng back ten meters.
Waving his hand to fan away the hot air in front of him, Zhuifeng felt heavy in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have miscalculated. Even if this man had no fighting skills, he was not someone who was easy to deal with.
Although his moves are too big and not sophisticated enough, he has strong internal strength and a strong body, and is definitely a powerful martial artist.
"Come and tell me your name! I, Gan Ning, will not kill nameless people!" Gan Ning, with nine palm prints on his body, took a step forward with a knife in his hand, and the bell on his waist rang.
"Gan Ning?!" Zhuifeng was shocked. Could this be the Gan Ning of Sun Wu? He should have been dead for hundreds of years!
"I am Zhuifeng, one of the Four Great Detectives!" Although he was surprised, he couldn't lose face.
"Good man, I will remember you!" As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, he rushed forward to attack.
His sword skills are swift, fierce and fierce, and the tip of the sword follows the person. He does not seek to kill with one strike, but only to make sure the sword does not miss.
Under this kind of attack, Zhuifeng was forced into a desperate situation. Fighting against a master without weapons would always result in a big loss. No matter how powerful his Qigong skills were, he couldn't fight head-on against the other party's magic weapons.
The white waves are surging!
The internal force turned into a surging stream, enveloping Zhuifeng and pushing Gan Ning away.
After gaining some breathing time, Zhuifeng used the "big waves wash away the sand" move, and the water turned into huge waves and hit Gan Ning.
"Hahaha, great kung fu!" Gan Ning laughed, and his fighting method - aggressive like fire!
The raging red flames rose up and with just one slash, it directly split the huge wave that Zhuifeng had created with all his energy.
Looking at the situation, Zhuifeng knew that he had been entangled for too long and the soldiers had caught up with him. He had no choice but to run!
Qixia Mountain has a steep terrain. Zhuifeng has been here many times before and has memorized the map of this place.
After using the move "Cang Hai Heng Liu" to force Gan Ning to draw his sword to defend himself, Zhui Feng turned around and moved sideways.
Watching Zhuifeng's quickly departing figure, Gan Ning took a deep breath and chased after him. The nine palm prints on his body were still aching slightly, and the internal force that had penetrated into his meridians had also damaged his meridians. Despite the influence of their injuries, the two of them maintained an amazing tacit understanding of each other's speed.
Gan Ning looked at Zhuifeng who was "in a panic" and a smile appeared on his face. As the main general of the rebels, he had naturally surveyed the nearby terrain. The road Zhuifeng chose was a dead end. There would be a huge gorge in front of it. Unless Zhuifeng could fly, it would be impossible for him to cross it directly.
Just as Gan Ning thought, the surrounding trees soon became sparse, but Zhuifeng did not remember the wrong way, he was going here.
In front of the dangerous gorge, Zhuifeng jumped down without hesitation.
Gan Ning braked suddenly and stopped above the gorge.
I saw the river surging in the canyon and a black shadow falling rapidly. When it was about to hit the rock, a huge wave appeared out of nowhere and successfully cushioned the wind chaser.
The waves dissipated, and Zhuifeng's figure disappeared from Gan Ning's sight.
At this time, Gan Ning seemed to be restricted by some rules. He walked towards the top of Qixia Mountain, looking back every few steps, gathering his soldiers along the way, as if Zhui Feng had never been there.
Zhuifeng, who fell into the river, felt that his internal organs were all turned upside down. In addition, his internal strength was exhausted. He could only drift on the river at the mercy of fate and did not even have the strength to get ashore.
At this moment, in Zhuifeng's vision, a ray of light and a huge net seemed to suddenly appear in the sky.
