Chapter 103: Wu Dao Chang
Hohai Province is still firmly controlled by the Dawu court.
Because Hohai Province is a strategic frontier area of Dawu, if the Hohai Province loses Dawu court, it will lose its lips and teeth, and may really stop it.
Therefore, the current area of Hehai Province is using strong military management. All major transportation routes have military leaders, and governments in various places also govern with civil servants and military officers.
Even now, the power of military officers is vaguely suppressed by civil servants. After all, it is amazing that someone has a gun in his hand in troubled times.
This broke the tradition of the Dawu Dynasty that emphasized culture over military affairs.
During this period, Emperor Dawu even reopened the declining martial arts and made various generous rewards.
For a time, all the martial arts masters in Dawu rushed to Hehai Province, hoping to capture this vast wealth.
"Master, look at the flag hanging on the ship is the famous martial arts hall in Tianfu Province [Jiuyang Martial Arts Hall]. I heard that the old master of the [Jiuyang Martial Arts Hall] has become a martial arts master. This time, the court's martial arts exercises are not limited to age. Anyone from the Dawu Dynasty can participate. If he can win a good ranking, he will be successful." Wu Tianlang said, pointing to a ship on the river on the left.
Zeng Kui also looked at the ship curiously and listened to Wu Tianlang's explanation.
This was the second day after they left Lanjiang City. Because it was against the current, the ship speed was slower. According to Wu Tianlang's calculations, it would be possible to reach the destination tomorrow afternoon.
The closer the rivers of Hehai Province, the more ships there are, and many of them are hung with famous flags from various martial arts halls and sects in the Dawu territory.
After listening to Wu Tianlang's explanation, Zeng Kui realized that these people were all participating in the Dawu [Martial Arts].
"Brother Wu, your martial arts are also good! If you go to participate, you may get a ranking, and the top 100 may be awarded the official position." Zeng Kui said to Wu Tianlang with a smile.
However, Wu Tianlang waved his head and said, "Master, my strength is barely considered a master in the world, but in the entire Dawu Dynasty, a warrior like me cannot rank in the number!
This martial arts ceremony must be a fight between gods and immortals, so I won’t join in. I still value my life.”
Wu Tianlang is very self-aware of this. Besides, he is now the deputy leader of the Pingjiang Gang, who is a first-class powerful person in Pingjiang City, and there is no need to fight to death.
Because it is common for people to die in the martial arts.
"If Taoist priest, you might be able to win the top martial arts scholar!" Wu Tianlang said to Zeng Kui, and his tone was not joking, but really thought so.
However, Zeng Kui shook his head and said, "Although I have some strength, just like Brother Wu said just now, 'There are people outside of people and heavens outside of heaven', I can't even get on top of this skill. Besides, I am a Taoist priest and have no idea of becoming an official."
"That's right, Taoist priest, you are the one who will become an immortal and an ancestor in the future. How can this ordinary thing fall into the eyes of Taoist priest?" Wu Tianlang said with a smile.
"That day Taoist priest really raised the clouds and ascended, but you have to remember me, so that I can also get rid of the fairy spirit at that time."
Zeng Kui also laughed when he heard Wu Tianlang's words.
"If there is really that day, I will definitely bring Brother Wu with me."
Although what the two of them are saying now is just a joke, it is not false to [one person attains the truth, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven].
"Immortal? Maybe it's really possible!"
Zeng Kui turned his head and looked at the broad river surface and said softly, "This is his biggest goal."
The next afternoon, the boat started docking and arrived at its destination.
"Brother Wu met in the mountains and rivers, so I'll leave here." Zeng Kui said after giving a tribute to Wu Tianlang.
"Take care all the way."
Wu Tianlang also clasped his fists to Zeng Kui and said.
Finally, Wu Tianlang and Hei Jin had a affectionate hug.
"Brother Black Gold, you should take care of yourself."
"Roar!"
Hei Jin also roared twice with sadness.
Zeng Kui looked at this scene and felt from the bottom of his heart that the relationship between Wu Tianlang and Hei Jin was much deeper than that of him.
Black Gold has a brand new cowhide backpack.
This was prepared by Wu Tianlang. The entire backpack was stuffed and I don’t know what was placed inside.
Zeng Kui did not postpone the black gold took it.
There was also a ceramic doll hanging around Hei Jin's neck, with Dong Xiaoyu sealed inside.
Dong Xiaoyu still has to take it with her, and as long as she stops being a lie, Zeng Kui is still willing to do what she has made before.
The Hehai Province was controlled by the imperial court, so Wu Tianlang did not dare to stay for a long time. He could only watch Zeng Kui's figure disappear and ordered the ship to leave.
The sad feeling of parting in Wu Tianlang's eyes was not fake.
For the sake of the two customers, Zeng Kui, waited until the sun set before getting off the ship. After all, both customers were just walking corpses, once they were shining by the sun, they would lose the yin energy in their bodies, and they would really become a corpse.
After walking for more than ten miles to the shore, you can see a dimly lit town on the river bank in the distance, which is a pier.
However, because of the reason why Zeng Kui was taking customers, he did not choose to get off the boat at the dock.
And he just glanced at the dock and left without even stopping his pace.
Next he has to go back to the state of resting at night and resting during the day.
In fact, he can also turn into a zombie and take two customers to experience the flying speed, and Black Gold can also keep up.
But he would not choose to do this, because driving the corpse is something he is doing very fulfillingly at the moment.
Anyway, he has nothing else to do, and there is one thing that is much more useful than running around like a headless fly.
Moreover, "sending the deceased home and returning to the roots of fallen leaves" can accumulate good deeds.
Although there is no sign of Yin De, it is better to have it than not.
Zeng Kui, Hei Jin and two customers soon disappeared on the road of night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no moon tonight, not even stars, which indicates that a heavy rain is coming.
There are still many ships sailing in the Lanjiang River, and most of them have the same destination - Shengwu City, Hehai Province.
Shengwu City was like its name. It was a famous martial arts city a long time ago, providing many military officers for the Dawu Dynasty.
But as time goes by, the literary spirit of the Dawu Dynasty has increased, and coupled with the years of "prime prosperity", [Wu] has been slowly squeezed out.
The status of military officers in Dawu is getting worse day by day, so Shengwu City naturally gradually loses its role.
However, now Emperor Dawu issued an edict to restart the selection of military officers in the military election and placed the selection place in Shengwu City, which shows that the spring of the warriors has arrived.
No warrior who has a dream for himself will miss this opportunity.
Moreover, many martial arts sects in the martial arts world have sent disciples to participate in the martial arts competition. In this chaotic world, we still have to find a way to save our lives.
There is a huge ship on the river surface, and it is decorated very luxuriously, like a palace on the water.
And there is also a flag of the Pingjiang Gang bald turtle hanging on this ship, which shows that the ship belongs to the Pingjiang Gang.
