The 23rd day of the tenth month in the third year of Fengtian.
Haizhou, Fenglin County, Fenghuo Ferry.
This is the border between Nanzhou and Haizhou.
It gets its name from the maple forests that surround it.
There weren't many boats at the dock.
But by this time, the area around the "Welcoming Guests" teahouse at the ferry crossing was already packed with people.
"A celestial being effortlessly slays a Dharma Image, Li Fan, the Overlord Blade, withstands the Dharma Image's divine power, Jiang Xue, the Awakening Insect Sword, makes a stunning debut, disciples of the Vajra Sect join the Martial Alliance, the Prince of Zhennan opens the Martial Hall to spread martial arts, Nanzhou hasn't been this lively in many years!"
"Who can argue with that? Of the thirteen states of the Great Zhou, Yunzhou, Nanzhou, and Haizhou have always been known as barbarian lands. Geniuses and strong individuals there are not as good as those in the other states."
"As a result, Nanzhou is now booming, with all sorts of people rising up. If I didn't know what Nanzhou was like a few years ago, I would think I was dreaming!"
"Whether you dream or not is not important; what's important is that Tingfenglou doesn't dream."
"It's almost here, the Fish and Dragon Ranking is almost here!"
Discussions rose and fell.
Everyone around the teahouse was eagerly waiting.
......
"The镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) from the Dafeng镖局 (Great Wind Escort Agency) have arrived!"
"Make way!"
At the ferry dock, when they saw the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) from the Dafeng镖局 (escort agency) riding horses on the ferry.
The lookout dock manager immediately cleared a wide road from the crowded dock at headquarters.
At this moment, pedestrians, merchants, and wandering martial artists on the ferry all made way for the bodyguard.
Just as the ship was about to dock, a figure stepped over the bodyguards from the Dafeng Escort Agency and landed first.
The middle-aged man was clearly taken aback; he hadn't expected anyone to be so oblivious.
People around him were making way for him, waiting for him to deliver the latest list of fish and dragons.
This young man, however, walked ahead on his own, his youthful arrogance perhaps the most pronounced of all.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to care too much; he rode off the boat on horseback.
Who is that person?
"I don't know!"
"He's probably some young master from a wealthy family, daring to disrespect even the Great Wind Escort Agency!"
"What young master? I think he's just a hothead!"
"Two swords hanging at the waist, all show and no substance, but that little white dog is quite cute!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up: "Do you think that person is that guy from Nanzhou? After all, that little white dog looks a lot like the description."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately stood up to refute it: "All dogs are the same. You think it's one dog, but it's not!"
"And more importantly, he was bald."
"Yes, you're right!"
"Damn it, get off the boat now, don't keep me from listening to the latest Fish and Dragon List."
Just as everyone was talking, a burly man pushed through the crowd.
......
Li Fan's destination, like that of the镖师 (bodyguards) from Dafeng镖局 (escort agency), was Yingke Teahouse.
Once he entered Haizhou, the Southern Martial Arts Alliance could no longer provide him with intelligence.
To join the war, you must first find Chen Kui.
I came to the teahouse to see if there were any clues.
Given the scale of the Dharma-Elephant War, it's unreasonable that there wouldn't be any news about it.
......
While Li Fan was deep in thought, Zheng Yun, a bodyguard from Dafeng Escort Agency, began to speed up.
As Zheng Yun and Li Fan advanced side by side, Zheng Yun inadvertently caught a glimpse of the knife hanging at Li Fan's waist out of the corner of his eye.
etc!
Blood-red scabbard, black and gold embroidery, tiger-head hilt—isn't this the divine weapon Tiger Soul of the Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Division?
Zheng Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.
As a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Dafeng镖局 (Great Wind Escort Agency), he naturally recognized the divine weapons of those famous experts.
Could it be that the rumor is true?
Was the Grand Commander truly killed in battle?
As a swordsman, one must always have a sword at hand.
If that's the case, then the person in front of you can only be him?
Li Fan's name flashed through Zheng Yun's mind.
He subtly slowed down and sized up Li Fan.
