A long day passed quietly, no one knew the storm was coming.
Nijin spent a long day diligently learning the words. He didn't know how many words he had memorized. He only knew that he had learned, understood, seven parts of the words on the small piece of paper.
Early the next morning, it rained.
The rain was not heavy, just light like dust particles.
The harsh winter weather, combined with the rain, made the servants in the palace very tired.
Nijin is still the same as usual, waking up, preparing to eat, and go to work.
Stepping out the door, the drizzling rain will probably last for a long time.
He went into the kitchen, pulled out a piece of rush cloth from a dark corner, and walked out.
At that moment, he saw something that made him a bit stunned.
Next to the small stove was a long object, shaped like a log, one end seemed to have been burned, perhaps someone had used it as firewood.
The Idiot then patted his head, silently scolding him, and immediately ran to investigate.
"Impossible".
Nijin opened her eyes wide and stared at the long piece of wood.
At first, he thought the log had been burned into charcoal, but he didn't expect that the log was still intact, the black mark on it was just smoke clinging to it.
Nijin was stunned, thinking hard but couldn't find any answer to explain, in the end, he had to give up, took the piece of wood and left.
As always, Nijin pulled the cart out of the city.
Nijin saw on both sides of the road, occasionally people gathered in one place and chatted, it seemed like there was something very happy, everyone's faces were smiling.
Nijin was very curious and ventured over to take a look.
After listening for a while, he understood that it was about the Sword Saint's visit to the Marquis' Palace yesterday.
Although Nijin did not know who Sword Saint was, he vaguely understood that this person was very strong, he did not hesitate for long and quickly left.
The road outside the city is not bad, but walking when it is raining cannot avoid being muddy.
After cutting the grass, Nijin pulled the cart back.
It rained more and more, the raindrops were small but very thick, the whole road was white, the direction was unclear.
Nijin pulled the cart for a while before finally realizing that he was lost.
Nijin is very worried right now. If he doesn't return quickly to feed the horse, a whipping will be inevitable.
Nijin stopped at a large ancient tree, her head tilted to assess the surroundings.
"Weird! Why is there no one?" Nijin frowned and thought to himself.
A moment later, sounds continued to come from far away.
"Hurry Hurry!"
With each shout, each pounding of horse hooves, it seemed like there was a group of people riding horses heading in this direction.
Nijin looked happy, raised his head to look over, and quickly from the thick rain, a group of people and horses appeared.
This group of people lined up in a long line, walking one after another.
In front was a middle-aged man of unknown age. This person had a tiger's back and bear's shoulders. His eyes were fierce and fierce, obviously not easy to provoke.
Next to him were several young men. Although their appearance was unremarkable, their aura was very strong.
Nijin did not understand how martial artists were divided, but because he had been exposed to peerless masters since childhood, he did not panic too much.
Looking back, in the middle of the group were two large carriages, looking very luxurious and magnificent.
At this moment, the leading man noticed someone blocking the front and opened his mouth to shout.
"Who is?"
Nijin was startled, but as a servant, he did not show too much fear and answered softly.
"This great hero, please don't misunderstand, I am a servant of the Marquis.
It's raining heavily today and the road is a bit difficult so I have to stop here. I hope everyone doesn't pay attention to me."
Nijin knew that this group of people was not easy to tease, nor was it convenient for him to give a ride, so he clasped his hands and stood aside.
He is very stupid, but he has traveled a lot, knows a lot, no matter how stupid he is, he still has to understand a little common sense.
"Oh! Are you a palace servant?" Hearing that, the great man exclaimed, glanced at a companion next to him, and signaled him to go towards the carriage and ask for instructions.
The young man nodded and walked towards the carriage, quickly turning back.
"Master said, we are coming to the capital from Zhengying for the first time, we should not provoke other forces.
This person is a servant in the Marquis' Palace, he should know the land here, let him come with us into the city, and ask him a few things by the way."
Hearing that, the great man nodded, clasped his hands, and spoke towards Nijin.
"This is Beijing, all the way from Zhengying to the capital.
The first time we came to the capital, the land is unclear, little brother, if you don't mind, come with us into the city, how about it?"
Nijin also vaguely guessed the meaning of the big man's words. Although he did not want to go with this group of people, he remembered that if he did not return quickly he would be whipped, so he gritted his teeth and replied.
"Then I'll trouble you." After saying that, he pulled the cart and walked over.
He clasped his hands in the direction of the crowd as well as the two horse-drawn carriages, then slowly followed.
"This brother doesn't know how to address himself? Did he just come back from mowing the lawn?" The great man saw that Nijin behaved cleverly, his good feelings immediately increased, and he smiled and asked.
"This one, Nijin, just came back from mowing the lawn.
I don't dare hide it, today the rain is so thick that it completely whitens the whole road, my eyes can't see clearly, I've been wandering around forever and can't find a way to get there, so I have to stay here.
Nijin did not hide it and replied calmly.
"Therefore, it is.
That's right, little brother has been in the capital for a long time, I wonder if I can give you some advice on the customs and habits here?" The great man casually nodded and continued to ask.
"There are many customs here, but Wukan is a whole stretch of mountains and rivers. Although there are differences, they are probably not too big."
Nijin arranged his thoughts for a moment and continued speaking.
"The capital has many big and small forces, the less teasing the better.
First of all, we have to mention the Blood Marquis Palace and the royal palace, these two places are definitely unstoppable.
Second are the palaces of the princes of the country, third are the mandarins in the court.
Regarding eating and living, people here like salty food, unlike the south who like sweet food."
The great man heard that and nodded. He didn't care too much about food and drink. What he cared about were the hegemonic forces here.
Thinking for a moment, he asked again.
"I wonder how the gangster forces here are distributed?"
"When talking about the forces of the jianghu, we must mention two clans, one sect, one castle.
The two gangs are "Thien Ung gang, Duoc Vuong gang" one is called "Hoa Van Sect" and the other is called "Thien Quynh Lau".
These gangster forces are located outside, not mixed inside the city."
Nijin knows what to say.
"They're all outside, don't they dare to enter the city?" The big man was a little surprised.
According to him, ordinary gangsters are very cruel and often enter the city to collect protection fees from traders and people.
The capital is so luxurious, why would these gangsters ignore it?
"Into the city? I wouldn't dare give them ten courage.
There's no need to talk about royal palace guards, just one knife from Lord Xiatun is enough to flatten them."
Nijin smiled sarcastically and replied.
"Oh! Lord Xiatun is said to still be in the realm of top-level masters. Is it true that those wanderers don't have top-level masters?" The great man couldn't believe it. According to common sense, the major sects of sects should have a top-level expert.
Especially in such a prosperous capital city, the forces do not have top-level masters to preside over them, so how can they dare to establish a sect?
"I don't know, I only know that when you were young, you once defeated four gang masters and their sect masters.
It's been 80 years now, and still, no faction dares to enter the city."
Nijin shook her head in response.
"There's such a thing again, why haven't I heard people talk about this?" The great man rolled his eyes, a bit incredulous.
Nijin slightly shook her head, thinking you were too young, and replied.
"If such an important matter were normal, it would definitely be spread out.
However, these gangs all established themselves in the capital and were attached to major arterial roads.
Is it better for you to defeat them and spread the word or keep the news, everyone contributing to the court?"
"Contribution to the court? This is a gangster force, how is that possible?" The great man's expression clearly spelled out the words disbelief.
"You don't believe it? It's not important if you don't believe it, you just need to know that they can't resist the court."
Nijin only knows this much, and won't go on any further.
"I wonder why you came from far away Zhengying to the capital? Do you want to stay and live?" Nijin changed the subject to ask the big man.
"There's nothing to hide brother, this time we came to the capital first to do business, secondly to go to the Marquis' Palace to discuss making friends."
The great man smiled and said.
"Make friends?" Idiot is a bit confused?
"Don't worry about this, little brother, you will understand later.
We've already arrived at the city gate, little brother, go first."
The great man shook his head without explanation.
Nijin did not have any trouble and immediately pulled the car over.
The city gate guard was so familiar with Nijin that he didn't care, all eyes were on the team of men and horses behind.
"The team behind stopped, produced customs clearance documents, you guys checked the people and horses."
A commander wearing armor opened his mouth and shouted.
It was already very late when Nijin returned home. Luckily, perhaps because of the wind and rain, no one came to blame him.
Quickly give the horse grass to eat, clean up for a while, then head towards the small yard.
"Idiot! Slow down a bit."
Behind him, Manager Trieu's voice suddenly rang out.
Nijin was startled and turned his head, a little scared. He silently lamented, "I still can't avoid being beaten."
"I wonder what Manager Trieu has to say?" Nijin asked urgently.
"Master Marquis is happy, I will reward you with ten gold coins, take it and keep it safe."
Manager Trieu smiled and gave him a small bag.
"Ten! Ten gold coins?" Nijin was stunned, then remembered the big reward the day before.
But he heard those people say that they only received ten silver coins.
"Store it carefully, the old man said, if you want to leave the palace, you should leave a little early."
After Zhao Wei finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
Nijin was still very confused, running back to the small hospital on all fours.2
