Chapter 441 Empress: If you ask me to be jealous, I will be jealous!
Perhaps because of the existence of the famous "Liuyue Manor" in the underworld, there are many people from the underworld coming and going in Quyang City.
Most of them are swordsmen.
The reason for this is that Liuyue Manor is good at forging swords.
There is a saying in Jianghu: "The knife comes out of Liuyue, and the sword is buried in Jianshan."
What it means is that all the best swords in the world come from Liuyue Manor. Of the top ten swords on the weapons list at Shuya Tower, seven are from Liuyue Manor.
As for the sword being buried in Jianshan, it does not mean literally that, it means that all swordsmen in the world asked questions about swords and people, except for the female sword fairy decades ago, all the strong swordsmen in the world came out of Jianshan. Other swordsmen also went to Jianshan to ask questions about swords, but many of them failed, so the sword was left in Jianshan.
Therefore, most of the swordsmen in Quyang City came here to ask for a sword from Liuyue Manor.
Especially at this sword-waving competition, [Liuyue Manor] also took out some good swords. Precious swords mate with heroes, and in order to prevent these precious swords from being buried in the manor, this competition was held to invite heroes from all over the world to come and seize the swords. The most capable ones would take it.
Where there are people, it will naturally become lively. Especially the [Sword-raising Conference] attracts not only people from the martial arts world, but also many people who come to join in the fun. In addition, Quyang City is a trade hub, and its prosperity is not inferior to those provincial capitals.
So when Su Changan and his companions approached Quyang City, they naturally felt the hustle and bustle of this city.
Especially at the city gate, many people were wearing festive red clothes distributing snacks and other things. Big "囍" characters were printed on each person in festive red clothes, which completely created a festive atmosphere.
"It looks like they are disciples from Tianque Mansion." Zhao Duan recognized the disciples distributing festive snacks at a glance and couldn't help but speak.
Qian Dazhong looked at the tiger's mouth knife handle patterns embroidered on the clothes of those people and said, "They are people from Tianque Mansion."
After that, Qian Dazhong said, "It looks like a marriage."
Zhao Duan nodded.
On the other side, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were also looking at the joyous scene at the door.
There are a total of four major martial arts sects around Quyang City.
Liuyuezhuang ranks first.
And this Tianque Mansion ranks second.
Moreover, Tianque Mansion is also a sect that uses swords. The old master of Tianque Mansion has even been praised by Yan Yunxiao, which makes the old master very proud.
After all, there are few people in the world who use knives who can get the praise from that woman.
When Li Xizhi told Su Changan at that time, Su Changan was shocked, thinking that these people were really pitiful. They were suppressed like this by Aunt Yan, but they were so happy to get a compliment.
But after some experience in the martial arts world and listening to Qian Dazhong and others talk about some interesting things in the martial arts world, as well as some senior masters, he realized that Aunt Yan was more feared in the martial arts world than he had imagined.
Even Pei Lingqiao and other young people who had never been in the martial arts world were telling stories about Yan Yunxiao one by one.
And each of them had a face full of admiration and yearning.
Whether it was Luo Changfeng or An Er who died under Su Changan's knife, they all aimed to surpass Aunt Yan.
So, Su Changan thought
Rather than saying that they are pitiful, it is better to say that Aunt Yan's world of swordsmen is too magnificent, and it is also a recognition of Aunt Yan.
And Su Changan was thinking, even Aunt Yan was like this.
What a huge presence and how magnificent was that Tai Nai, who was the leader of the entire underworld, in the hearts of the people in the underworld at that time.
The closer the group got to Quyang City, the more obvious the festive atmosphere became. It could not be seen from a distance, but when they got closer, they could see that Quyang City was decorated with lights and big red lanterns were everywhere.
One can imagine how lively and exciting this wedding event was at Tianque Mansion.
Daxia did not have things like candy yet. Su Changan had made sugar in the capital before, but further research and development was delayed due to a lot of things later.
Looking at the disciples of Tianque Mansion distributing snacks and red dates as "wedding candy", Su Changan thought that he would sort them out when he returned. Since he had sugar now, everything else would not be a problem.
If someone gives you something for a happy occasion, just take it. This is considered as sharing in the good fortune and adding joy to others.
So Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and others also accepted these things, then looked at Wu Xiaoyu and gave them to her.
The city is decorated with lights and colors, which inevitably makes people happy.
But among Su Changan and his group
Pei Lingqiao was not in a good mood.
Because in the past two days, after Su Changan gave her the calligraphy, she was finally able to communicate with the normal Su Changan.
This means we will separate again.
After entering Quyang City, they were going to look for their master, while Brother Qian was going to Liuyue Manor to look for his friend.
As for this sister and her friends, although they didn't say anything, they said they wanted to take a stroll.
It's just a farewell anyway.
Even though I knew we might meet again at the sword-waving meeting later, there were so many people that I might not be able to say a few words to them when we met.
Therefore, the closer he got to Quyang City, the more depressed Pei Lingqiao became.
After entering Quyang City, the girl stole a glance at Su Changan who was walking with her wife and sighed. She was very happy just by looking at him, let alone saying a few words to him, but they were about to part.
Quyang City was filled with joy and happiness. The streets were filled with laughter and people from the martial arts world were everywhere. There were far more of them than before in the capital. And at a glance, six or seven out of ten people were wearing swords.
Su Changan and his companions were all people of the martial arts world, so when they said goodbye, they didn't act pretentiously like those young ladies.
Zhao Duan, Ruan Zhi and other disciples of Haoyang Mountain looked at Su Changan and clasped their fists together. Then Zhao Duan said, "Madams, see you at the Sword Raising Conference!"
Su Changan clasped his fists in return and said, "See you at the Sword-Raising Conference."
Xia Fengxiang also clasped his fists and spoke in the same way.
Afterwards, Ruan Zhi glanced at the junior sister beside her and gave a gentle push, pushing Pei Lingqiao in front of Su Changan and the others.
Pei Lingqiao was a little flustered, but the fellow brothers and sisters smiled and looked at Pei Lingqiao.
Pei Lingqiao pursed his lips and looked at Su Changan. He was about to say something, but then he thought of something and looked at Xia Fengxiang again: "We..."
After holding back two words, Pei Lingqiao really didn't know what to say. His face turned red, and he finally said, "I hope you and my sister are all right."
After saying this, Pei Lingqiao suddenly reacted, and then looked at Xia Fengxiang, the whole person was about to cry, what was he talking about! They were so good to each other!
The people around started laughing and looked at Pei Lingqiao, the silly girl.
Xia Fengxiang smiled at Pei Lingqiao, then reached out and rubbed Pei Lingqiao's head: "Thank you, you should take care of yourself too."
Pei Lingqiao's face turned even redder, and when he saw Su Changan also looking at him and smiling, he immediately took small steps and hid behind his senior sister.
Zhao Duan was so amused that he bowed to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang to apologize.
Qian Dazhong glanced at Pei Lingqiao with a smile and thought that this little girl was really interesting. Then he looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang and said goodbye.
Not much was said, after all, everyone knew they would meet again at the Sword-Raising Conference.
Moreover, Qian Dazhong had no intention of participating, so he was prepared to go over and say a few words to them once he saw them. After all, the existence of Su Changan and the others might make them have a huge difference in status in the future, so if he said a few more words, it would be useful for him to brag to others in the future.
Everyone said goodbye.
Qian Dazhong, Zhao Duan and the others were all going to Liuyue Manor, so they traveled together.
Su Changan looked at Pei Lingqiao's back and smiled.
Xia Fengxiang saw it and said, "If you can't bear to part with my young girl, go after her. I won't stop you."
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Xia Ke, Li Qingmeng, let me tell you, I have tolerated such jokes from you for a long time!"
Xia Fengxiang frowned and looked at Su Changan with a smile: "Is it my fault that I asked you to endure this? I didn't say anything about sending love poems to that little girl, but now you have to endure it!?"
Su Changan hesitated to speak, mainly because he was indeed in the wrong.
The last time I sent Pei Lingqiao the poem, I was actually thinking of Xia Fengxiang. It was a spring night in the middle of the night, and I wrote it down.
I didn't think much about sending it to Pei Lingqiao at that time.
Later he realized that it would be bad if he went to take it back, so he wanted to talk to Xia Fengxiang about it, but his wife was very reasonable and didn't care.
Su Changan was still thinking that Xia Fengxiang had changed his personality.
After all, I didn't feel jealous or anything along the way.
Xia Fengxiang stretched out his hand and pinched Su Changan's face: "I know that the girls around you will be unconsciously seduced by you. I won't hold it against you. After all, who made you look like this? But... I let you take the initiative to seduce?! I didn't say anything to give you face. Now we are family. What? You still want me to pretend that nothing happened? You are allowed to seduce girls, but I am not allowed to be jealous? Tell me, who made the rule!"
Xia Fengxiang pinched Su Changan's face with a little force. The main reason was that Zhao Duan and the others were there these days, so Xia Fengxiang tried not to argue with Su Changan, especially when Su Changan did something mean, he just endured it.
Now that they are gone, I can't help but look at Su Changan again.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, who was almost sticking to him and pinching his face, and smiled helplessly. What else could he say about this?
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, and after letting go of his hand, he said, "Once we find the inn, I'll tell you what you've been doing these days!!"
Su Changan smiled and said, "Eat! I love watching you eat!"
Xia Fengxiang heard this, bit his lip, snorted, and said, "I won't eat it if you say that!"
After saying that, Xia Fengxiang thought about it and couldn't help but laugh at himself, then looked at Su Changan: "Or, you can beg me to eat it."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, then looked at Xia Fengxiang and said without hesitation: "Wife, please don't be jealous."
Xia Fengxiang pursed his lips and smiled, then said, "Okay, since you beg me, I'll be jealous."
After saying that, I couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Su Changan smiled slightly, this rebellious little empress!
The originally fair skin was stained with two red spots after being pinched by Xia Fengxiang.
Su Changan was already being stared at by many people around him, and his face immediately turned red, looking even more beautiful than any other.
Especially that doting smile from Xia Fengxiang, which looked even more charming in the eyes of others.
Some people stared at it and bumped into the roadside pillars that were blocking the lanterns. Others blinked and didn't even have time to swallow their saliva.
There were also some people from the underworld who wanted to step forward.
However, Li Jinxiu and Lian Wei had already come to Su Changan, and both of them had their hands on the swords at their waists.
Feeling the powerful aura, some people retreated.
Although Liuyue Manor is not in Quyang City, it is very close to Quyang City, so most people in the martial arts world live in Quyang City.
But that doesn’t mean there is no place to live in Quyang City.
Moreover, Li Xizhi had already asked the secret guards of the Shen Ce Palace to prepare everything long ago, so Su Changan and the others only needed to go there.
【Wangxianlou】The most famous restaurant and inn in Quyang.
After everything was arranged, Su Changan and the others naturally had to eat something.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Changfeng changed his appearance slightly at the moment.
He said that he knew many people and being recognized would inevitably delay the affairs of His Majesty and His Majesty, so he simply changed his appearance to avoid trouble.
Xia Fengxiang didn't think anything of it. He just nodded and let Luo Changfeng do whatever he wanted.
When Su Changan saw this, he wondered whether he should change his appearance to cover up his stunning beauty.
Hearing Su Changan say the word "world-shattering", Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes. He really didn't know how to scold this increasingly narcissistic man!
Inside the box, Li Xizhi also learned about some of the current happenings in Quyang City.
Today's happy event is the marriage of the eldest son of the old patriarch of Tianque Mansion. To be more precise, the Yuan family, one of the two major families in Quyang, is marrying their daughter.
It can be considered that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family "married down".
The term "marrying down" is very sophisticated. Even though the Tianque Mansion is considered a first-rate sect in the martial arts world, they can't say anything when it comes to marrying down.
Wealth and honor, wealth and honor, being rich does not necessarily mean being honorable, being honorable is the result of being rich, and being rich is often not as good as being honorable.
Because the latter means orderly inheritance, deep family background, connections in the court, and many honors of ancestors can be found in the family tree. If a rising star rises in the court, the family glory will be continued. After all, Tianque Mansion is just a sect with a heritage of only a hundred years. After all, it is just a gang. No matter how glorious it is, it cannot compete with the court.
The Quyang Yuan family is a relatively neutral aristocratic family in the south. The only person holding an official position in the court is the head of the family. He serves as a deputy governor in Yuzhou, which seems to be a very high position, but Yuzhou is not like the military and political integration of Yan and Tanzhou, so it is actually quite constrained. Although he has some acquaintances with the elders in the court, it is difficult to move up to a higher level.
Therefore, the old man of the Yuan family did not let the Yuan family join the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce, nor did they go to the Wanli Chamber of Commerce to join in the fun. In the end, they were a family that stayed honestly in Quyang.
But even so, they can be called the two major surnames in Quyang. If you underestimate the Yuan family, you will be asking for trouble. After all, they can become a noble family, and they still have the foundation. Moreover, they can remain neutral and not interfere with the two major chambers of commerce, and live in peace. This is considered to be some ability, otherwise they would have been swallowed up long ago.
Xia Fengxiang had been looking at the lively and festive scene outside the window, but it is worth mentioning that there were indeed more officials in Quyang City. I don't know if it was because there were too many people in the underworld and they were afraid of causing trouble, or for some other reason.
Su Changan picked up a piece of chicken and tore off the white meat. After eating the chicken skin himself, he passed the white meat to Xia Fengxiang.
After eating a bite, Xia Fengxiang said, "Don't worry about these things. The Yuan family has to find some allies to survive in the cracks. And I think the Tianque Mansion is also happy with this excitement."
Li Xizhi nodded: "It is said that the eldest son of Tianque Mansion and the daughter of Yuan Family are in love with each other, and the marriage with Yuan Family will make Tianque Mansion have more say in Quyang, which will suppress other sects except Liuyue Manor."
After that, Li Xizhi said, "Another thing is that a ninth-rank martial artist who had been living in seclusion in Quyang City killed the young son of the leader of the Feather Sword Alliance and the young master of another big family, the Fan family. The ninth-rank martial artist opened an inn. There was a little girl in the inn who was raped and committed suicide by the two men. After burying the girl, the martial artist learned the whole story. He first went to the Fan family and killed the young master directly. Then he went to the Feather Sword Alliance. The martial artist said, 'I will only kill that one person, and the others will leave.' After that, he fought all the way to the young boy, but before he could kill him, the three masters of the Feather Sword Alliance rushed back and beat the martial artist half to death. Finally, Sun Yiguan of the Tianque Mansion took action, and the matter was over."
"But after all, the Fan family died, so how could they just let it go? Since the martial arts world couldn't be dealt with, they mobilized the government, but the warrior escaped. There were so many officials because they were looking for the warrior. And the Feather Sword Alliance was also looking for him. But they didn't dare to be too arrogant because Liu Fenggu had said that during the Sword Raising Conference, no one should cause any trouble. If you disturb their Liuyue Manor Sword Raising Conference, you will bear the consequences yourself. So no matter whether it was the Feather Sword Alliance or the Fan family, they didn't dare to offend Liu Fenggu, so they didn't look for him in a big way."
When Luo Changfeng heard this, he sighed: "He is also a man."
Li Xizhi looked at Luo Changfeng: "She is a female martial artist."
Luo Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "That's even more amazing!"
Women's horizontal training is much more difficult than men's.
This is why there are far fewer women who are strong in martial arts than men.
Su Changan asked, "Is the prefect of Quyang from the Fan family?"
Li Xizhi shook his head: "It's the Xun family. The Xun family and the Fan family are both from the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce."
The Xun family is actually the Xun Kuang family.
It’s just that Xun Kuang lives too far away, and he just has the same surname as Xun, so he is not considered a member of the Xun family.
However, Su Changan knew that after Xun Kuang took the initiative, the Xun family had looked for Xun Kuang, wanting him to recognize his ancestry, but Xun Kuang said, "Xun Kuang has never received any favor from his ancestors or the Xun family, so he cannot recognize his ancestors," and directly refused.
Many people in the capital knew about this matter, and Su Changan was also informed of it at that time.
but
Listening to these things, Su Changan felt helpless. There really are dirty things everywhere.
Xia Fengxiang gently picked out the fish bones from the fish and put them into Su Changan's bowl. Then he said, "Find that person and protect him."
Li Xizhi immediately clasped his fists.
Then, Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "It's just Quyang, with only a few martial arts sects, and the two big families are fighting over it. They really have nothing to do."
In fact, after listening to the two things, combined with his previous understanding of the situation in Quyang, Xia Fengxiang already had a clear understanding of the current situation in Quyang.
Su Changan didn't say anything, but he roughly understood.
After all, among the martial arts sects in Quyang, Liuyue Manor is the only one that is dominant and cannot be shaken for the time being. However, the Tianque Mansion is married to the Yuan family, which threatens the Fan family and the Yudao League. So it is obvious that the two families have to get together, otherwise how can the two young masters be together.
However, no one knows what role this martial artist played in the plot. Perhaps he was put on the chessboard because of the unfortunate woman, or perhaps he was part of the conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Su Changan felt helpless for a moment. After interacting with Qian Dazhong, Zhao Duan and others for a few days, he was very interested in the purity of the martial arts world.
But as soon as I entered Quyang City, I felt that this world was no longer pure, or was not clean at all.
But it was just a thought. After all, once you become a powerful force, it will always end up like this.
The reason why Liuyue Manor can remain unscathed is because of the existence of Liu Fenggu and its two to three hundred years of foundation.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let them do whatever they want. Since I know about the girl's matter, I must seek justice and investigate this matter. If it is confirmed to be the case, we, as people of the martial arts world, must act chivalrously. Ask someone to see if there is a chance to kill the Feather Sword Alliance. If there is no chance, write it down first."
Li Xizhi clasped his fists again.
Then Li Xizhi said, "Your Majesty, Madam, in addition to this matter, my subordinates said that they noticed people from the Zoroastrianism and Tibetan Tantric Temple Zhenyan Folun Temple appearing before, but they couldn't find them when they went to look for them. They might have come because of the Sword-Raising Competition. After all, this time, Liu Fenggu didn't know what had happened. He took out the former number one on the Sword List [Shifang Guisha] and the second place [Zizaixian], saying that they have been repaired and are far better than before."
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng looked at Li Xizhi: "Is Liu Laosi crazy? He's willing to give this away!"
While Lian Wei was in danger, Zhou Qianhong looked at Li Xizhi with surprise.
Even the two of them had obviously heard of the names of these two knives.
It's easy to become famous. If you do something, your name will spread. It just depends on whether it's good or bad.
But if a weapon wants to become famous, its owner must be famous, and his fame must be far-reaching. Otherwise, how can the weapon become known to people?
Xia Fengxiang frowned. She didn't know about these two knives, and there was no need to know. This kind of thing was just a small matter to her, but she couldn't help but frowned: "Do many people want these two knives?"
Li Xizhi nodded immediately.
Xia Fengxiang asked, "Aren't there many experts?"
My Su Changan was asked by his grandmother to take back all ten swords. If there are many experts, it will be troublesome.
Luo Changfeng thought for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, how about I take the knife and go to look for those places?"
Go find someone holding a knife and you will know what he is going to do without him telling you.
And Luo Changfeng has this confidence.
After all, Liu Fenggu couldn't beat Luo Changfeng, let alone others.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan. As long as Su Changan nodded, Xia Fengxiang wouldn't mind.
but
Su Changan said: "If we really do this, I'm afraid we will all get beaten."
Lian Wei, Li Xizhi, Li Jinxiu and others could not imagine who in the world could beat His Majesty and the Queen.
But everyone knew that the Queen would take all the swords from the Sword-Raising Conference with her.
So after thinking about it, they felt that it was arranged by Yan Yunxiao.
but
Only Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and Luo Changfeng, who had already met the grandmother, knew who would hit someone.
So Luo Changfeng stopped talking immediately. If that person attacked, he could really kill him!
The man only showed a little bit of sword intention last time, and he didn't even dare to draw his knife.
This is him now.
So there is no need to say how strong that person is.
Xia Fengxiang sighed, but he couldn't blame himself for being too naive, so after thinking for a while, Xia Fengxiang said, "Tell me who is here."
Li Xizhi nodded: "I won't talk about the ultimate and ordinary ultimate, there are six people who can compare with the queen, among them..."
Just as Li Xizhi said this, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned sideways and stood in front of Su Changan to protect him.
And the next moment.
Bang!
However, a figure directly broke through the wooden wall of their box.
Luo Changfeng had sensed it a long time ago. He quietly and without anyone noticing, he lightly kicked the stool, which prevented the person flying in from hitting the table and ruining the delicious food, and even ruining the Empress's mood.
"Hey guys! We are from the Claw Sect, this..."
A big hole was knocked out on the wooden wall of the box, and several swordsmen immediately came over from outside the box. The leader clasped his fists and spoke to Su Changan and others, but he was halfway through his words when he saw Su Changan was stunned.
…
