Chapter 1073 Dragon Crown
People in the arena like to be lively and join in the fun.
If something big is going to happen in the arena, then everyone in the arena will rush to get a seat early and wait to watch the excitement, for fear of arriving late and not even getting a seat.
Running for the martial arts master is a top priority in the world. Such excitement attracts all martial arts people to Jiangning City.
Therefore, in the past two months, Jiangning City has welcomed many people from all walks of life with swords and swords on their backs. In less than half a month, all the inns in Jiangning City were full, and business was booming.
The newly appointed magistrate of Jiangning City was shocked. When he saw such a man with a knife and sword appearing in Jiangning City, he thought it was some organization that wanted to seize Jiangning City's territory, so he sent someone to inquire, only to find out that it turned out that It is the martial arts people who want to run for the leadership of the martial arts alliance here.
The prefect's elders were complaining endlessly.
As soon as he became the prefect of Jiangning City, such a big thing happened.
Although the affairs in the martial arts world have nothing to do with the affairs of the imperial court, he is the magistrate of Jiangning City and is responsible for the peace of the people in this area. With a large group of martial arts people coming here to join forces, how can the people in this area still be peaceful?
In the rivers and lakes, there are people from all three religions, evil spirits and heretics. The more people there are, the more things will happen. No, petty theft, robbery and robbing people will happen all the time. There are no big things, but small things will continue. The master is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat in the hall.
What made the magistrate even more angry was that those martial arts people, relying on their being from the martial arts world and their martial arts skills, just refused to listen to his discipline. They even beat up his official officer on the spot, and kept saying: Said, "Jianghu affairs, Jianghu management, has nothing to do with you, a court official. Don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, I will cut off your head at night."
Even with fear and intimidation, the old man in the governor's office did not dare to sentence them or imprison them. He was afraid that they would come and go without a trace and go to his house in the middle of the night and blow his head off. Cut it down.
By then, he wouldn't even have time to cry.
The prefect did not dare to control the martial arts people, so the martial arts people became even more rampant.
They did not take the initiative to bully the common people, but when they met people they disliked on the street, they had a disagreement and started fighting. They knocked down the common people's stalls, damaged the doors of other people's shops, and even caused chaos in other people's shops. He fought and smashed up his store.
If you are a polite person, you will pay a few taels of silver before leaving. If you are an unreasonable person, if you ask for money from him, he will point a knife at you.
There are so many things like this, several happen almost every day.
Chu Jingqi held Xia Zihan's hand and entered a teahouse. They didn't ask for a private room and directly occupied a seat in the lobby by the window.
If you want to inquire about something in the Jianghu, the tea house and restaurant inn are the most convenient and best places. No, just after the morning, more than half of the seats in the tea house were filled, all of them people from the Jianghu.
Chu Jingqi and his group are all dressed as martial arts people, especially Xia Zihan, who has only a wooden hairpin except for a pair of pearl earrings on his ears.
Only a strand of hair on the top of her head was tied up with a wooden hairpin given to her by Chu Jingqi. The rest of her long hair was spread on her back, fluttering like a fairy.
As soon as a group of them entered the teahouse, they attracted a lot of attention. Seeing that they met each other, and they all had the elegant and immortal temperament, everyone subconsciously thought that they were disciples of some big sect who came down from the mountain.
When everyone was looking at them, Xia Zihan was also looking at everyone present.
There were a total of eight tables in the teahouse lobby. Even her table, a total of six tables were occupied. Only the two tables near the door of the lobby were empty. Sitting at the table in front of them was an old man with gray hair and a long beard. He was accompanied by two young men and a little girl.
The little girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old. She is very delicate and beautiful. She is wearing a light yellow dress, which makes her skin fairer.
A pair of eyes with extraordinary intelligence turned his head curiously and looked at the people at their table.
"Junior sister, stop looking, I don't know you." The man sitting to the left of the little girl unhappily pushed the little girl's head straight, "Didn't you say you didn't have breakfast and wanted snacks? Now the snacks are here. You haven’t started eating yet, so hurry up, the storyteller will be on stage soon.”
There are many people in the teahouse these days and business is good. There are two storytellers in the teahouse to keep everyone entertained.
Few people in Jianghu like to listen to books, but if it talks about the history of Jianghu, there is no one who doesn't like to hear it.
Le Ying loved listening very much. She listened to it all day yesterday. Today, she came together and pestered her two senior brothers and her master to listen to the book.
Le Ying pouted her lips and rolled her eyes at her second senior brother, "It's still early, the storyteller still needs a stick of incense to come."
"Then take advantage of this time to burn incense and fill your stomach." The second senior brother touched her little head lovingly and moved several plates of snacks on the table in front of Le Ying.
Le Ying happily ate a piece of mung bean cake, and couldn't help but move her eyes to Xia Zihan's table, glancing at Chu Jingqi several times.
When the two men next to them saw that the junior sister was peeking at her, their faces darkened, especially the second senior brother, whose expression was a bit gloomy. However, the voice that coaxed the junior sister was as gentle as water, "Eat carefully. No matter how much you eat, please slow down and no one will compete with you.”
Without scruples, he used his fingers to wipe away the snack residue from the corner of Le Ying's mouth.
Xia Zihan ignored Le Ying's glances from time to time. She was listening attentively to the conversations of several men at the table behind her.
"I heard that the leader of the martial arts league was beaten and suffered internal injuries a few years ago. His Dantian was damaged and his martial arts dropped by more than three points. The Long family sent people everywhere to ask for medicine, but they couldn't find any medicine to repair the leader's fields. Dan.”
"Really? Where did you hear this? Is the news true?"
"It's true, it's absolutely true. Think about it, the leader of the martial arts alliance has almost never appeared in the past few years. Whenever there is a major event in the world, Long Mian, the disciple of the leader of the martial arts alliance, appears on the stage in his place. I also heard that Long The eldest son of the Long family, Long Yi, was brought back. The opportunity for Long Mian to run for the leader of the martial arts alliance was originally given to the eldest son of the Long family. "
"Can Long Mian be willing?"
"Hmph, so what if you don't want to give in. Long Yi is a descendant of the Long family, and Long Mian is just an adopted son adopted by the Long family. The Long family definitely wants their own people to compete for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance. .”
