Raise the sword sky

Chapter 45

Shuanglang Mountain is a huge mountain range in Xinghu County. The entire mountain range occupies almost one-third of the area of ​​Xinghu County, but most of it is just a barren mountain with no products. The land is extremely barren and cannot be cultivated for farmland. As a result, not many farmers and hunters can make a living in the mountains.

But the mountainous area with a radius of hundreds of miles occupied by the Cheng family is different. With the geographical advantage above the major traffic routes, it is only reasonable for the Cheng family to develop into the powerful force it is today.

Of course, the geographical environment here is so good, it is a big piece of fat, so it has always been the coveted place of countless people, whether it is the officials of Xinghu County in the Great Zhou Dynasty or the local forces in the county, Jianghu sects, etc. Everyone was thinking about this place, so the Cheng family was completely out of it. I don't know how many people died in order to defend this foundation over the past few hundred years. The enmity between Revolving Knife Gate and the Cheng family also originated from this.

Relying on the sacrifices of generations of clan members, the Cheng family has become one of the most powerful local powers in Xinghu County in the past hundred years. The national power of the Zhou Dynasty was weak, otherwise, how could the official turn a blind eye to such a tyrannical power of the separatist regime.

On the political map, the area occupied by the Cheng family belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the Xinghu County Sheriff's Mansion, but since a hundred years ago, no staff from the Sheriff's Mansion have been seen here, and all roadblocks and cards toll fees belong to the Cheng family. Not to mention, even the tax collectors who collect taxes are done by the Cheng family. The Sheriff's Mansion can accept a symbolic tax payment from the Cheng family once a month. Dozens of open and secret confrontations can only be recognized under the fact that there are fewer victories and more losses.

When Lin Yang brought Yu Wuxia close to the entrance of the dangerous valley formed by two towering cliffs, what he saw from a distance were dozens of soldiers with armor piercing and armed soldiers checking every entry. People, I saw that these soldiers were energetic and orderly, and they were not at all lazy and wretched like the common soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Is this the Cheng family's private soldier you mentioned? They even have armor and uniform standard equipment. It seems that the Cheng family's plan is not small."

Lin Yang whispered to Yu Wuxia who was beside her. At this time, Yu Wuxia had already worn a bamboo hat made of thatch to cover her beautiful face, and even wrapped a few circles of straw rope around her waist. It makes the body curve look a little bloated, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to recognize her identity.

"My father also said the same thing. If it's just for the purpose of occupying Shuanglang Mountain, it's not necessary at all. It's enough to recruit masters like other aristocratic sects. It's completely unnecessary to establish a private army that is only used to target ordinary people, unless They have other ideas."

Yu Wuxia said softly: "In troubled times, dragons and snakes spread everywhere. With the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are more and more local forces like the Cheng family. They all want to get a share of the future chaos."

The gap between the practice sect and the secular world is very large, far inferior to Jianghu sects, so Lin Yang's understanding of the secular world is not as good as Yu Wuxia's, so he didn't say anything more, and said: "Look at the seriousness of those private soldiers. Jin, it is estimated that it is difficult to pass without being interrogated, and the cliffs on both sides are high and steep, it is difficult for me to climb over with you, but if you accept interrogation, your identity will be easily exposed."

"It's okay, I'm already prepared."

As Yu Wuxia said, she handed a small object in her palm to Lin Yang. After taking it, Lin Yang was surprised to find that it was actually a small sachet.

That's right, this is a sachet, but the workmanship is extremely rough, and it can even be said to be clumsy. Not to mention the messy stitches, even the embroidered patterns on it are completely different. Birds are not like birds and turtles are not like tortoises. It's ugly, but the fragrance emitted by the sachet is of high quality, besides Yu Wuxia's faint body fragrance, there is also a refreshing fragrance, obviously it contains excellent spices.

"This is……"

Holding the sachet that still contained Yu Wuxia's body temperature, Lin Yang's expression became a little weird, and Yu Wuxia said quickly, "Don't get me wrong, Cheng Tianjiao gave it to me."

It's okay if she doesn't say that, Lin Yang feels more and more strange after talking about it. Generally speaking, things like sachets are given by women to men, and because of their special symbolic meaning, they are only given to men. My favorite person is almost equivalent to a token of love, but that Miss Cheng Tianjiao gave Yu Wuxia a sachet, what does this mean?
Apparently, Yu Wuxia also knew that the sachet would not be misunderstood. She quickly stretched out her hand and pulled on a thin silk thread of the sachet, and a live button was torn off immediately, and the surface fabric of the sachet was lifted immediately. Seeing that there is a small interlayer inside, and there is another small jade piece in the shape of a knife between the interlayers.

"This is Cheng Tianjiao's unique keepsake 'Jade Sword Token'. Her nickname is 'Jade Girl Sword, Iron-Blooded Beauty'. She is the No.1 of the new generation of the Cheng family, so we can pass the level smoothly with it. No one will check."

Yu Wuxia took out the exquisite little jade knife, and said: "The material of this jade knife order is an extremely rare corundum, the hardness is almost comparable to steel, so it is difficult to forge, and there is Cheng Tianjiao's name carved by himself on it. Everyone knows it."

"She gave me the Jade Sword Token as a contingency, because we have a special relationship, and she deliberately put it in the sachet so that no one would find out. I never thought it would be useful for such a day."

Lin Yang nodded and took over the Yudaoling. Yu Wuxia couldn't show up, so it was best for him to come out.

The centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is getting worse day by day, the private commerce is still prosperous, and Xinghu County is not too remote, so there are many merchants coming and going. There were quite a lot of people in front of the pass, and there were even several large-scale caravans, but because the pass guards were very effective and orderly, it was not too messy, and the team cleared the pass quickly. Lin Yang It didn't take long for Heyu Wuxia to line up in front of the checkpoint.

"Take out the guide."

The soldier in charge of the inspection stared at Yu Wuxia's big bamboo hat, and said, "Take off the bamboo hat too, so we're afraid that we won't be able to see the color."

Immediately, Lin Yang's hand reached in front of him, and the exquisite jade sword order in his hand immediately attracted all the attention of this soldier.

"Jade Sword Order?"

The soldier suddenly let out a low cry in disbelief, then stared at Lin Yang for a few times, and his expression became respectful at this moment: "Your Excellency is the eldest lady's friend?"

"What nonsense, let's get out of the way."

Lin Yang's expression imitated the inner disciple of the Raoyun Sword Sect, put on a haughty face and said bluntly: "Tianjiao told me that with her jade sword order, I can go unimpeded in Shuanglang Mountain. No one dares Check, is she bragging?"

Hearing that Lin Yang affectionately called his young lady "Tianjiao", the soldiers dared not obstruct him any longer, and immediately stepped aside and said, "Your Excellency, please pass the customs. Do you want me to send a message to inform the young lady first?"

"No need, I want to surprise Tianjiao."

Lin Yang nodded, and walked through the checkpoint with Yu Wuxia. As expected, none of the soldiers stopped them, but these soldiers looked at him full of curiosity. The token of Tianjiao's identity is very precious, they have never heard that the eldest lady gave it to others.
