However, this news is naturally important news that cannot be ignored by the princes and nobles of various countries.

However, for those ordinary people in the market and the wealthy people traveling around the world, it is nothing to do with them and they are ignored.

Except for those talented people who aspire to the world, they always pay attention to these things that affect the destiny of the world, and smell the breath of opportunity.

Trying to imitate Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Bai Qi rose up from it and gained great glory of his own.

But for other civilians, or ordinary people who don't have such high ambitions, another thing that is somewhat less weighty than the first two news has deeply attracted their attention, and even aroused the prying eyes of various countries. .

His Majesty the Emperor of Yuguo, the most powerful person in the world, needs countless people to look up to and envy him, a supreme existence.

Following the previous reward order, another reward order was issued, which affected all interested people in the world and made them crazy.

The Emperor of Yuguo issued a message, calling on the people of the world to help him find a sword. If he succeeded, he would seal a county thousands of miles away and bring hundreds of thousands of people to it.

Such crazy news, under the order of the Emperor Yuguo and the secret promotion of countless secret guards, swept the entire world in an instant, making countless residential areas above the first level of villages and towns know the news.

Chu State, a remote town somewhere.

This is a simple town with only a few hundred permanent residents and not many business travelers. There is only one wine shop in the town, so those in the town who think they are wealthy people or local rogues gather here. .

In this small wine shop, they talked loudly, boasted and boasted about their trivial heroic deeds.

But today, a business traveler arrived in this small town, and this business traveler brought extremely important news.

There were only four or five people in this business trip, and they only had one bullock cart. The cart contained only some ordinary goods, which were not worth a lot of money. What they earned was just some errand fees.

At this moment, these four or five people were sitting in the lobby of the restaurant, surrounded by a table. There were some refreshments on the table. Several of them also held tea bowls in their hands. They drank a little bit of cold boiled water in one gulp and breathed a long sigh of relief. , as if borrowing their thirst.

"Do you think the news this time is true? Such a big deal, just for a sword, it's a bit unbelievable to think about it!" He relieved his physical fatigue and sat in the wine shop to rest in the cool. He had nothing to do. One of the people on the business trip raised the topic.

"Impossible, it's just a sword. Why is it only awarded by one county? If that's really the case, wouldn't it be so ridiculous for the king of that country to fight for life and death! They killed and injured tens of thousands of soldiers, which is not as good as a sword. How ironic this is!" A person next to him immediately retorted, seeming to be extremely disdainful of this topic.

"But, the emperor of the imperial country has openly announced it to the world, and the whole world has spread the news. How can he openly break his promise? What's more..." A person in the business trip who had a kind-faced and honest face said hesitantly.

"What's more, it's not like there is no precedent in Yuguo. Previously, a place like Yunzhong County, Nuoda, was sealed out! Now, if we seal it with another county, what does it mean?" A business traveler's eyes flashed, The man who was quite skinny but had a smooth face said full of expectation and yearning.

"What? Do you still want to take a chance on this opportunity?" The person who was rebutted glanced at the thin man, looked at his small body, and shook his head.

"Why can't I think about it? That's a county. If I can get it, the glory and wealth of future generations will last forever!" The huge temptation made this thin man ignore his own strength gap, or rather He knew in his heart that his chances were extremely slim, but he couldn't help but give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity a try.

A few people in the business trip were talking in a low voice, but the wine shop was so big. No matter how soft their voices were, they did not deliberately hide their voices. Everyone in the wine shop had already heard them.

When they heard a county, a sword, a reward, and an emperor, no matter which one of these words was enough to attract everyone's attention, they already felt itchy.

I just calmed down and listened for a while, but I saw that the words of the business travelers were vague. Although I had a rough outline in my mind, I couldn't grasp it. My heart felt like being scratched by a monkey's paw. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Hey, let me tell you, you guys are all men after all. Can you stop being so hesitant and hesitant when you speak like a girl? You can open your voice and say no!" A tall man with a strong back and a bearded face. The man slapped the wine table, stood up and cursed.

When the few people in the business trip heard this insult, they all felt angry and their faces turned red. Being insulted like this, and even being called a daughter, as a bloody man, naturally he couldn't bear it.

What's more, they are all businessmen who have been wandering around the world for a long time. Everyone has one or two martial arts skills. Although they are not on the stage compared to those disciples of the sect, they are still capable after all.

It was not that they had never encountered bandits along the way, but they were not repelled by the joint efforts of their brothers. At this moment, when they were insulted, they immediately pulled out their swords and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound coming from behind them.

However, when they looked at the man, their hearts trembled, their anger was extinguished, and the sword they were holding tightly in their hands slowly lowered.

This is a master, at least a master of internal strength. Judging from the slight bulging of his temples, it is obvious that he has a certain degree of cultivation.

This kind of person, even if he is an outsider with a wild background, is not someone as small as himself who can deal with him.

At that moment, the expressions of the few people dimmed, and they changed into respectful and flattering expressions. They sneered at the big man in front of them and said, "My lord, please forgive me. My brothers and I are ignorant and have offended your lord. I hope you don't see me." !”

His demeanor was respectful and humble, and his tone was cautious to the point of cowardice, enough to make a few people cautious. I have been traveling in the world for many years. Even if I am at the bottom, I still have to do some small business to survive.

But they are very aware of the dangers of the world.

If they don't agree with each other and draw swords against each other, that's just a trivial matter.

If he doesn't like you, he'll give you a knife. It's just a matter of eating and drinking.

The true dangers of Jianghu are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Now that they see such a person with internal power, who is still malicious towards them, how can they not feel scared, not to mention that he showed hostility towards that strong man before

This is not a good sign.

The update was a bit slow today, and I was really flattered that someone urged me to update it. It made me feel for the first time that my book had some value and that people still cared about it. I would like to thank my book friends for their support. Especially the two readers of [Loneliness] and [The Boring World Without You] greatly urged the update, which flattered the author. I would like to thank you here. And [a lonely patient], thank you for your bubble at the end of my chapter, letting me know that I am not alone, and giving me a lot of comfort and motivation. Finally, I would like to thank those book friends who have been supporting me silently and never giving up. Your support has given me strength and the courage to persevere. Today’s third update is a bit late, I hope you’ll forgive me.
