Wusheng Mountain, with an altitude of nearly 12,000 meters, is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it mysterious and unpredictable. WWw!QuANbEn-XiAoShUo!Com
The imperial capital of Baiyue Kingdom was built near mountains and rivers. With Wusheng Mountain at its back, it further increases the power of the imperial capital. Royal majesty.
Not one day later, these 120 martial arts boys who qualified arrived at the imperial capital of Baiyue Kingdom.
Meeting the Martial Saint is not an ordinary thing. Not everyone is qualified.
Therefore, after all qualified martial arts boys arrived in the Imperial Capital, the person in charge of the Zhenwu Holy Land explained: "Young boys, you are staying in the Imperial Capital temporarily, and each of you can check in with the test result acceptance form in hand. You can stay in all inns, and all food and accommodation are provided. It’s free.”
"Sir, how many days will we stay?"
"Free food and accommodation, what else don't you want?" The envoy glared.
"Hehe, of course not. We...we just really want to meet Lord Martial Saint, hehe." The martial boy said with a smile.
"Greetings to Lord Martial Saint. It doesn't mean that you can go see him anytime you want!" The messenger said in a serious tone, "The only thing I can say is - wait! Maybe three days, maybe five days, maybe tomorrow. In During this period, if you have connections in the Imperial City, you can also visit relatives and friends. But the premise is that you must wait for the call from Martial Saint Mountain at any time!"
"Yes!" The martial arts boys all smiled happily.
These martial boys are the elite among the elite. Most of them come from big families from various places, and nearly half of them are descendants of the royal family. The remaining 10% are also descendants of aristocratic families. They are also high-ranking nobles.
A low-class wealthy noble like Qin Wushuang. Very few. Except for Qin Wushuang, the remaining ones all have the lowest scores among the qualifying places.
And there are none of the lower-level noble families and humble families.
This is the difference...
Qin Wushuang felt deeply that the differences in family status in this world were expressed so directly. The gap between different family backgrounds can be seen simply from the cultivation of talents.
If the Qin family of Donglin had been struggling in a poor family, let alone such a high-level event, they might not even be able to secure their position as a low-level noble.
As for the civilian families, they are completely insulated from such grand events.
After the disbandment, Qin Wushuang had no relatives or friends to visit. He was considering whether to experience the style of the imperial capital alone when he heard the sound of clothes fluttering behind him. It was obvious that someone was approaching.
Qin Wushuang didn't look back and recognized that the footsteps came from Tong Yao's younger brother, Tong Yan.
"Brother Qin, why are you wandering here alone?"
"Haha, didn't Brother Tong go visit relatives and friends?"
"My little brother comes from a remote state. Even if he has some relatives and friends in the imperial capital, they are not close to each other. Visiting at home will only cause trouble for others. Besides, I admire Brother Qin's unique style very much. Brother Xuan Qin just has free time, so why not I have my little brother as a host, can we find a place to have a few drinks?"
Qin Wushuang knew that Tong Yan wanted to thank him, and secondly, he also wanted to make friends with him, the trial champion, but he did not refuse.
Qin Wushuang did not reject the Tong siblings. In particular, Qin Wushuang was surprised that Tong's intelligence and public relations abilities could actually lead to the Zhenwu Holy Land.
"Please." Qin Wushuang waved his hand and agreed.
At this time, Tong Yan gave full play to his communicative skills. He asked some luxuriously dressed passers-by and asked about the names of several famous restaurants in the imperial capital.
"Brother Tong, since it is a small gathering, there is no need for such a grand ceremony. Just find a secluded place."
"Brother Qin, you have to listen to my little brother's arrangements this time.
Don't forget. You are now the trial champion and a quasi-royal child. There is no way you are so careless about pomp and circumstance. Brother Qin's future words and deeds should be used to build public opinion for the upcoming kingship. "
Qin Wushuang smiled faintly. He admitted that Tong Yan's words were reasonable, but it was not his character and habit to deliberately show off the majesty of the royal family and put on airs.
Royal status must ultimately be supported by strength - this is Qin Wushuang's logic.
While talking, the two of them had turned around several streets.
"This should be Zhuque Street. Qifeng Tower, haha, this name is very pleasing to the ear. It matches Brother Qin's identity very well, so this is it!"
Seeing him like this, Qin Wushuang didn't object. He looked up and saw the front of the long street in the distance. There are rows of towering sycamore trees, which are very spectacular, elegant and unique, and of high style.
Phoenix lives in Wu.
As the saying goes, planting a well-planted sycamore tree will attract golden phoenixes. This sycamore tree is originally closely related to the phoenix, a divine creature. There are many sycamores planted at the entrance of Qifeng Tower, probably for this purpose.
Before he could get closer, he heard screams and screams coming from the front.
Then, there was another round of scolding: "If you want to redress your grievances or file a complaint, go to the Imperial City. If you kneel to death here, no one will pay attention. Are you going to let others do business?"
"Are you leaving? If you don't leave, don't blame us for driving them away."
He scolded sternly, with a fierce look and an extremely impatient tone.
"Uncles, we have no way to complain. I heard that your restaurant is often visited by relatives of the emperor. We want to try our luck here and beg God to open his eyes and someone high-ranking to listen to our grievances... "
"Go away, go away, we are not a government agency, we don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
"It doesn't work even after listening to it. If you have any grievances, you still have to go to the authorities."
"Several gentlemen..."
"You're trying to coax them away, but you're beating them away, right? Brothers, drag them away!" A tall man in green robes at the head shouted angrily, waved his hand, and several sturdy men behind him rushed forward and dragged three of them away. The old woman in ragged clothes dragged her outside. Carrying it with one hand, he walked out of the street like an animal.
"Woooo..."
"Oh, God, don't you really have eyesight?" The crying voice made those who heard it sad and those who listened to it shed tears. The bystanders wanted to persuade them, but when they saw these fierce men, they immediately swallowed the words that came to their lips.
Several big men strode forward, intending to throw these old men out of Suzaku Street. After walking a few steps, they suddenly looked up and saw two young men standing in the middle of the street, blocking their way.
"Get out of here!" After a quick glance, he found that he was not a famous young man in the capital, but these big men were shouting at each other.
Tong Yan had no expression on his face and didn't move away, but he didn't answer either. When he saw this scene, he was also very angry. No matter what these old women did, they still couldn't bear to be carried like this by someone of their age.
"What's the matter? Do you two have any objections?"
The big man in green robes named the leader walked over. After looking at the aristocratic clothes of Qin Wushuang and Tong Yan, he judged their identities. He is a son of a noble, but not a high-ranking noble. Not even the famous young man in the capital.
In other words, Qifeng Tower could not afford to offend such a person.
Of course, they have their own theory of making money by doing business with harmony. If the other party does not deliberately cause trouble and everyone just laughs it off, then they should be received as expected.
Qin Wushuang glanced at the green-robed man indifferently, and suddenly asked: "Do you have any ancestors?"
"Nonsense, don't you have any ancestors?" The big man in green robe glared, realizing that the person who came was really looking for trouble, and he scolded him unceremoniously.
"Then do you have parents?"
"How can someone who has no parents jump out of the stone? Young man, if you are sensible, get out of the way immediately. Don't think that you can show off just by wearing a noble suit. Don't forget, this is the imperial capital, not a corner of your countryside! "
The big man in green robe had a bad tone and did not hide his sarcasm at all.
A local tycoon may be very rich. But in this area of the imperial capital, they are used to being superior to others, and generally don't pay much attention to the nobles who come from below, as long as they are not too powerful.
Qin Wushuang nodded: "So you are not a stone. You jumped out of it. Then their age is enough to give birth to you, right?"
The big man in green robe rolled up his sleeves and stared: "You two want to fight against injustice, right? The imperial capital lacks everything. These days, there is a lack of something new like fighting against injustice."
"Let the person go." Qin Wushuang was too lazy to fight a lawsuit. "I will only say this once. No matter what they did, let the person go first."
"Hahaha..." The big man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "If my ears heard it correctly, your head is broken. Why do you have it? With the skin of a low-class nobleman on your body? It's ridiculous! This is the imperial capital! Kid, Go back to your countryside and farm hard! The emperor is in danger!"
These words deeply hurt Tong Yan's self-esteem, and he shouted: "What happened to the countryside? The nobles in the countryside are a hundred times stronger than you bully dogs. Let them go!".
"So what if you don't let go?" The big man in green robe snorted.
"Don't let go?" A sneer escaped from the corner of Qin Wushuang's mouth. Suddenly, his figure moved, his arm was slightly raised, and a strong wind passed by.
Only a dozen crisp slaps were heard. The next moment, the men in those big men's hands had already let go. They all covered their cheeks and looked at Qin Wushuang in disbelief.
Even the big man in green robe was stunned.
Then, he took a deep breath, tightened and released his throat, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hitting someone! Hitting someone!"
A moment after the words fell, a group of heavily armed thugs swarmed out of Qifeng Tower, led by a middle-aged man in rich clothes and rushed over.
"Who? Who hit him?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.
"Master Ninth, these two local tycoons from the countryside, they beat people."
Qin Wushuang ignored the ferocious looks of these people, helped the three elder sisters, and asked them to leave first. Not only the three elder sisters seemed to have seen a savior, they hugged Qin Wushuang's thigh and said, "Young Master, this young master, you are a kind-hearted person. You must make decisions for us. We are commoners of the Chimu King. These few days In the past few years, the daughters of several families have disappeared for no reason. When we went to the government to report the case, the government would not give us any explanation... We had no choice but to come to the capital... "
"Chief of Chimu?" Qin Wushuang was stunned. "How many families do you have in total?"
"There are too many. We don't know each other. We all got to know each other when we complained in Chimu City. There are at least seventy or eighty families."
"So many? What about the others?" Qin Wushuang took a breath. If it was just one or two families, it might be an accident. Seventy or eighty families, that’s beyond what can be described as an accident.
"Others are scattered in various lively places to cry out their grievances. But these noble lords won't let us stay, saying that we affect their business. Wuwuwu..."
Qin Wushuang was silent. It's no wonder that in this world, it's difficult for civilian families to seek justice.
Just as he was about to say something comforting, a voice came from behind: "Boy, you hit someone, don't you dare to stand up?"
Qin Wushuang vaguely felt that this matter was not trivial, so he immediately warned: "You should leave here first and wait for me at the archway in front."
Turning around, he said slowly: "I beat people because they deserve to be beaten. If you don't want to cause trouble, let this matter go."
Qin Wushuang's attitude was to calm things down, not that he was afraid of trouble. But he was more concerned about what those old men said, and he vaguely felt that it seemed to be related to him. He couldn't explain why he felt this way, but a strong person's intuition and subconscious kept giving such hints.
